Beaufort County Planning Department is hosting a public meeting for the Pritchardville Community.

The purpose of this meeting will be to discuss the community’s vision for the May River Road (SC 46) corridor as well as in response to a zoning amendment request for a property at 3 Benton Lane from T3 Edge to T2 Rural Center.

The meeting will be held at Pritchardville Elementary School, 9447 Evan Way, Bluffton (map), Tuesday, April 25 at 6 p.m. in the multipurpose room. The side entrance will be available and signage will be posted.

The public is invited to share comments to discuss any concerns about potential impact to the neighborhood. Factors that might impact include increased traffic flow, and disruption of pedestrian or bike traffic.

The above referenced rezoning request was an agenda item at County Council's March 27 regular meeting. The discussion can be viewed here.

Because of the potential changes involved and concerns that if this rezoning is approved, others will follow, Council recommended the community have public comment before the final recommendation is made to Council.
