Narrative Summary
Summary
York County Council held a regular meeting on January 5, 2026, with all seven members present. The agenda was dominated by land use actions, including five third-reading rezonings approved unanimously on consent and four public hearings on first-reading rezoning cases. Council also addressed a range of administrative and capital matters, including procurement approvals, a workforce housing study MOU, a transportation intergovernmental agreement added under new business, and a first-reading golf cart ordinance for the Baxter Village neighborhood. Public comment raised concerns about Silfab Solar operations in Fort Mill and the QTS Data Center, prompting Council to direct staff and the county attorney to research related legal rulings. One rezoning request — for a residential subdivision on Mobley Store Road — was denied following substantial public opposition.
