West Ashley Rezoning

Charleston City Council discussed rezoning approximately 11 acres near West Ashley Circle and Bees Ferry Road (by Walmart).

  • Current Zoning: The area is currently zoned Gathering Place (GP), intended for mixed-use development. However, achieving true mixed-use in this suburban setting has been difficult.

  • Proposed Zoning: Rezone to Planned Unit Development (PUD), which city staff supports.

  • City's Reasoning: The city sees a growing need for commercial and office opportunities in the area. The PUD is still expected to provide needed amenities and aligns with the Comprehensive Plan's designation of this area as a "city center".

  • PUD Details: The proposed development includes a General Commercial District, a Financial District, and an Outparcel District. Buildings will be located outside of power line easements.

  • Green Space & Access: The plan includes a trail system under power lines and around a detention pond. Vehicular access will align with existing points and a planned extension of Floyd Drive.

  • Pedestrian Focus: The city emphasized the importance of active pedestrian entrances on buildings fronting West Ashley Circle.

  • Addressing Challenges: Despite overhead power lines, the plan allows for development with roads, parking, and stormwater management potentially under the lines.
