South Charleston council adopts two rezoning ordinances affecting Spring Hill and nearby parcels

The South Charleston City Council on a unanimous voice vote adopted two ordinances rezoning city parcels, one affecting Spring Hill and a second covering multiple parcels on tax map 11.

Trent, a city staff member, read the first ordinance aloud, describing the proposed change "to rezone parcels at Spring Hill tax Map 30, Parcel 7 in the city of South Charleston from R-2 to C-10." The council moved to adopt the ordinance and the motion passed after the reading with no further discussion recorded.

Trent then read a second ordinance "to rezone parcels at South Charleston tax map 11, parcel 60-2, 60-3, 60-4, 60-5, 60-6, 60-7, 60-8, and 60-9 in the city of South Charleston from RO to CA." Council members moved and seconded the motion to adopt; the motion passed on the voice vote with no substantive debate recorded.

The council did not place extended analysis or conditions on the ordinances during the meeting; no public comment on the rezonings was recorded in the transcript segments provided. The ordinances were taken up and adopted during the petitions, communications, and public hearing portion of the agenda.

The council’s formal action was limited to the readings and motions to adopt as recorded in the meeting minutes; the transcript does not include staff presentations, separate findings, or permit changes tied to the rezonings.
