Bill Summary
Amend The South Carolina Code Of Laws By Amending Section 6-29-720, Relating To Zoning Ordinances, So As To Define "concurrency Programs"; And By Amending Section 6-29-1130, Relating To Regulations, So As To Include A Reference To An Adopted Concurrency Program.
AI Summary
This bill amends South Carolina law to formally define and incorporate "concurrency programs" into local planning and zoning regulations. A concurrency program, also known as an "adequate public facility program," is a system where local governments ensure that public facilities and services, such as roads, schools, and utilities, are adequate to support new development before approving it. This is achieved by setting local standards for service levels and requiring developers to contribute their "proportionate share" to offset the impact of their projects on these facilities, potentially through impact fees or other agreements, while also considering existing contributions. The bill adds this definition to existing provisions that outline various zoning and planning techniques and also amends regulations to explicitly reference the inclusion of an adopted concurrency program when preparing and recommending land development rules.
