Jasper County Planning Committee Planning Committee Meeting
The committee discussed a zoning map amendment request to rezone a 4.7-acre parcel from residential to general commercial for the development of commercial flex space, with potential future hotel use. Staff recommended against approval due to the parcel's proximity to the town of Ridgeland and the future land use map designating the area for annexation. The committee and a representative from the town of Ridgeland discussed infrastructure challenges, specifically the lack of water and sewer services, and the necessity of annexation for such development.
