Town Hall set to address proposed rezoning on Killian Road

Killian Zoning Map

COLUMBIA – A town hall meeting is set for Thursday, Jan. 6 to discuss a map amendment request on Killian Road. The request seeks to rezone a 32-acre parcel in the 100 block of Killian Road from a rural district (RU) to a general commercial district (GC).

Residents in nearby communities are encouraged to attend the in-person meeting, set for 6 to 7 p.m. at Parklane Adult Activity Center, 7494 Parklane Road, Columbia. Face coverings will be required, and physical distancing measures will be enforced. County Councilwoman Gretchen Barron is organizing the meeting.

Barron, who represents District 7, and the county planning staff will advise residents and answer questions about the rezoning request.

In order for Richland County Council to enact a rezoning request, an ordinance amending the official zoning map must pass three readings by majority vote.
