Council grants first reading for rezoning at 250 Progress Street to allow mobile‑home-park access

Sumter County Council on Jan. 13 granted first reading to a rezoning request that would reclassify a 0.19‑acre portion of a larger 3.2‑acre parcel at 250 Progress Street from Light Industrial‑Warehouse (LI‑W) to General Residential (GR).

Helen Roodman, planning staff, presented RZ‑25‑22 on behalf of applicant Andy Mills, saying the reduced rezoning area is the minimum necessary to provide access and meet South Carolina Department of Transportation requirements for continued development and future expansion of Iris Wynn’s mobile home park. "The Planning Commission recommended approval," Roodman said.

Vice Chairman James R. Byrd Jr. moved to grant first reading; Councilman Charles T. Edens seconded. The motion carried unanimously.

The request is associated with TMS# 249‑00‑06‑004. The minutes record the Planning Commission’s recommendation and the council’s unanimous first‑reading approval; no conditions or amendments were recorded at first reading. Further readings or conditions, if any, will be taken up at subsequent meetings as required by county procedure.
