# 11/02/2026 - Charleston County Board of Zoning Appeals

The Charleston County Board of Zoning Appeals met on November 2, 2026, to hear zoning appeals, special-exception requests, and variances. The board removed a six-foot privacy-fence condition from a previously approved extended-home-rental application, deferred an administrative appeal to December 7, and approved extended-home-rental requests on Scottill Road and Turns Nest Road, subject to conditions including a 144-day annual rental limit. It also approved variances for an existing covered deck near the critical line, a swimming pool and related improvements on Murphy’s Island Court, and a pool cabana on Oak Branch Road; the cabana variance passed with one dissenting vote. A community-dock special exception and a variance allowing shared parking for St. Paul’s Fire District’s proposed firefighter training facility were also approved. The final case concerned a variance for an existing unpermitted accessory building; the applicant described a possible permit issued through Colleton County, but the transcript ends before the board’s decision is recorded.

The meeting addressed land use and development approvals rather than purchasing, contracts, or budget allocations; no procurement activity was identified. Several approvals included staff conditions and requirements for subsequent permitting or site-plan review.
