Land Development Regulations

On November 20, 2001 County Council approved new land development regulations for Horry County. The regulations become effective on January 2, 2002 and establish the procedural and technical requirements that must be followed to develop property or record documents at the Registrar of Deeds. For more details on the regulations, see the adopted standards. Additional information may be obtained by contacting the Planning Department.
Application forms for each type of development (sketch plan, preliminary plan, and final plat) are available for printing or viewing. For associated application submittal deadlines and meeting information, see the adopted schedule. (Utility Coordinating Committee; Zoning Committee & Technical Review Committee; Planning Commission)

The Planning Commission meets monthly to discuss and make recommendations on rezoning and land development requests. Meetings are held at 5:30 pm in the 2nd floor Multi-Purpose Rooms located in the Government & Justice Center, 1301 Second Avenue, Conway.

2001 Horry Countywide District Survey

Periodically, the Horry County Planning Department sends out surveys to residents for feedback on local issues and services. The purpose of the 2001 Horry Countywide District Survey was to receive public input and support in updating the Horry County Community Facilities Element of the 1999 Horry County Comprehensive Plan. Over 10,480 participants were chosen randomly from the Horry County Voter Registration rolls, which resulted in an even percentage of people chosen per County Council District.
