# August 19, 2026 - Planning Commission

The Town of Mount Pleasant Planning Commission met on August 19, 2026, and held public hearings on zoning and planned-development matters. The commission recommended denial of a proposed zoning-text amendment concerning residential density on properties designated for community facilities. A motion to allow one dwelling unit per acre failed on a 4–4 tie; the commission then voted 6–2 to recommend denial, ask Town Council to consider retaining existing underlying zoning uses, and direct staff to return with alternative solutions that address the concerns raised. Public commenters—including representatives of schools and churches—raised concerns about property values, development rights, and communication about the proposal; commissioners also discussed balancing those concerns with neighborhood density and community-facility needs.

The commission unanimously approved the Oyster Park planned-development height-map amendment and recommended denial of a townhome rezoning request for 3587 North Highway 17. It approved the 1182 Russell Drive rezoning request unanimously and approved the 1129 Jobright Court rezoning request with one dissenting vote. For the Jordan Tract planned development, the commission considered a request to rezone two vacant lots to AB1; tree preservation concerns were raised, with further review expected as plans develop, and the transcript indicates two members opposed the motion. These were land-use recommendations and zoning decisions; no procurement, contract awards, vendor selections, or spending actions were identified.
