Land Use Board Meeting | August 18, 2026

The Union County Land Use Board held a meeting on August 18, 2026, primarily focused on land use and zoning matters. Key procurement-related discussions included a variance petition (2026 V2) for Augustine Properties at 3810 Richardson Road, where the board reviewed the request for a variance from minimum lot size requirements to allow residential development on a substandard lot. After hearing testimony and evidence, the board unanimously denied the variance, citing that the hardship was self-created and the lot size requirements did not impose an unnecessary hardship. Additionally, the board considered a rezoning petition (RZ2026-010) for approximately 26 acres on US 601 South from RA40 to light industrial zoning to accommodate commercial and industrial uses such as equipment storage and a reclamation landfill. The board recommended approval of this rezoning to the county commissioners. No direct contract awards or procurement actions were discussed, but the rezoning approval could impact future development and vendor opportunities in the area.
