Planning Commission - August 11, 2026

The City of Florence, South Carolina Planning Commission held a meeting on August 11, 2026, focusing primarily on zoning and land use matters. Key procurement-related discussions included rezoning several parcels on Cougar Street to allow more flexible redevelopment, rezoning residential "donut hole" parcels to align with surrounding zoning for potential multifamily and townhome development, and approving a sketch plan for the Palm Subdivision, an infill single-family residential development replacing a former golf course. The commission also reviewed a proposed amendment to move noise and vibration regulations from the Unified Development Ordinance to the city Code of Ordinances, including extending allowable noise hours in commercial districts. The commission voted to approve the rezoning requests and subdivision plan, and deferred the noise ordinance amendment for further review and possible demonstration of decibel levels. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but the zoning and development approvals support future construction and redevelopment projects in the city.
