Berkeley County Planning Commission Meeting 10/05/2026

The Berkeley County Planning Commission meeting on October 5, 2026, approved two requests to reduce the required Interstate 81 setback from 100 feet to 50 feet under the 2025 subdivision and land development ordinance. The first waiver, for Potomac Station remaining lands (file 2609-463), was approved with a condition that residential development include appropriate screening and sound buffering, subject to staff approval. The second, for Potomac Station Commercial Lot 4 (file 2609-464), was approved as presented for a proposed coffee shop with a drive-through. Both motions passed; no contract awards, purchases, or public spending were identified.

The commission also approved the meeting agenda and the September 21 minutes. A member of the public raised a concern about limited recreational opportunities for youth in the area. The commission noted that the County Commission would hold a public hearing on the comprehensive plan on October 22. No procurement activity was identified.
