The Planning Department is headed by Greg Rushing, PE and reviews and monitors all new projects, modification of existing structures, signs, and building permits. The department organizes and presents information to the Planning Commission and, if a decision is appealed, to the Board of Zoning Appeals. Once the Commission or Board approves the project or modification, the department supervises the review of building plans and inspections.  The Planning Department also maintains and reviews all Zoning within the Town.

Please call 843-726-7506 with any questions.

Development Process

All projects, from subdivisions to supermarkets to residential modifications, are required to gain approval from the Town Planning Department. The more extensive the project, of course, the more extensive the review. Minor home modifications can usually be approved at the staff level without presentation to the Planning Commission.

Building Permit Applications can also be found on the following page:

More information, forms and fees




Form-Based Zoning Code

The following documents show the final development of the Town’s Form-Based Zoning Codes. This will allow the Town greater flexibility in what projects are approved for specific areas. Greater attention is to be placed on the aesthetic qualities of structures instead of the use of the structure itself.  These codes were adopted by Town Council on March 18, 2010.
