Narrative Summary
Summary
York County Council held a regular meeting on November 3, 2025, with six of seven members present. The meeting opened with ceremonial recognitions honoring first responders who assisted during the Horry County Wildland Fires and celebrating York County 4-H Legislative Day. The bulk of the meeting focused on land use, with five rezoning cases receiving public hearings and votes across multiple readings.

Council to Consider Amending and Second Reading of an Ordinance Reviewing and Updating the Public Education Facilities Impact Fee
Ordinance amends impact fees for new residential development in Clover School District No. 2. First reading motion revised impact fees to $7,000 for single family detached dwellings (with pro-rated amounts for multi-family at $3,459 and manufactured homes at $4,582). Based on updated School Development Impact Fee Study and Capital Improvement Plan dated August 4, 2025, Planning Commission recommended revising established impact fee on single family detached dwelling unit from $4,000 to $15,035, multi-family from $1,976 to $7,430, and manufactured home from $2,618 to $9,842. Regarding manufactured home fee, it is in practical terms a discounted fee; without analyzing student generation separately, manufactured homes on vacant lots would be assessed the higher single family detached fee. Clover School District Superintendent Sheila Quinn addressed Council to provide response to questions from last meeting. Motion to go into Executive Session for Receipt of Legal Advice made and passed. Later, motion to approve was made by William Roddey but failed for lack of second. Motion to defer item for further legal advice passed 4-2.
