S.0227

Local planning

Introduced·1/15/25

Amends zoning ordinances to define specific planning techniques and programs.

This bill amends the South Carolina Code to define various zoning and planning techniques, including cluster development, floating zones, overlay zones, and planned development districts. It also defines concurrency programs, which condition land development approval on public facility and service adequacy. The bill allows local governing authorities to adopt market-based incentives and relax nonessential housing regulatory requirements in priority investment zones. It mandates that land development plans cannot be approved unless all building sites are safe from flood or other hazards.
