Zoning & Planning

After many years of negotiations, County Council gave final approval to the Spring Grove Development Agreement by and between the County and MWV-East Edisto Spring Grove. The 50-year Development Agreement governs the development of 14,508 acres located in western Charleston County through 2065 and includes obligations that must be met by the property owner (Community Enhancement Fund, transportation improvements, right-of-way dedications, form-based zoning requirements, etc.).

The Town of Ravenel annexed six parcels totaling approximately 598 acres at the intersection of New Rd and Savannah Highway. Four of these parcels, totaling approximately 596 acres, were located within the Spring Grove Development Agreement. The Town has adopted a development agreement with the property owner for the development of all six properties, and the Town has zoned the properties Planned Development.

County Council approved the applicant’s request to amend the Spring Grove Development Agreement to release the four properties annexed by the Town of Ravenel and enter into a three party agreement (Golden Grove Development Agreement) with the Town and the owner of the properties to ensure development consistent with the County’s Spring Grove Development Agreement.
