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; a third, who identified herself as the second speaker's spouse, raised similar infrastructure concerns about medical wait times, road conditions, and school class sizes. Council took no vote on the rezoning ordinance itself at this hearing; it voted solely to adjourn the public hearing.
