At a June 11, 2026 public hearing, Loris City Council heard testimony on Ordinance 06-26, a request by agent Logan Heaps on behalf of owner Harriett Hardee to rezone approximately 23.2 acres on the southern side of Bayboro Street (Highway 45) from FA (Forest-Agriculture) to R-1.5 (Residential, Low Density). Planning & Zoning Director Meredith Holmes told council no development plan has been submitted; any future development would still require Planning Commission review.
Three residents spoke during public comment: one asked about county/city cooperation on a drainage canal near his property; a second said the area's roads, schools, and medical capacity could not support additional housing, citing partly-vacant homes in the adjacent Meadow Walk subdivision; and a third resident from the same address raised concerns about overpopulation, a shortage of teachers and doctors, road conditions, and demand on utility companies. Council took no vote on the rezoning ordinance itself at this hearing; it voted solely to adjourn the public hearing.
