BLYTHEWOOD – Blythewood developer Kevin Steelman will come before the Richland County Planning Commission Monday at 3 p.m. to request approval for rezoning 90.79 acres on Kelly Mill Road from Rural (RU) to Residential Estate (RS-E).
The property is located at the intersection of EJW and Kelly Mill Roads in Blythewood 29016.
As many as 200 homes could be allowed for that acreage.
According to the agenda packet, the RS-E zoning district is intended for single-family detached dwelling units on large ‘estate’ lots with a low to medium density. The minimum lot area is 20,000 square feet.
Staff has recommended disapproval of the rezoning request.
“The proposed rezoning is not consistent with the objectives outlined in the Comprehensive Plan,” the agenda packet notes.”
