The City Council agenda says it is 1st reading of an ordinance amending the zoning designation of properties on East Corporate Center Drivem Post Drive, SC Hwy72 East, and Old Colony Road. A Planning Commission notice previously published said the same tract will be re-zoned from Agriculture, Low Density Residential, and General Commercial, to PDD (Planned Development).
