What it is

Passed on second reading 5–2, this annexes 54.88 acres along Cannon Road into the City of Loris. Parcel A (31.73 acres) is contingent on R-2, Residential Medium Density zoning, and Parcel B (23.15 acres) is contingent on IND, Industrial zoning. Council members Coleman and Gerald voted against it.

What it is

What it does

Passed on first reading, this advances toward a second reading an ordinance setting a 5% franchise fee on cable revenue earned in the city and the right to up to three PEG channels. It takes effect after a second reading, and it applies to other cable providers that later seek a state-issued franchise in the city.
