Planning Commission

The Seabrook Island Planning Commission was established by Town Council pursuant to the requirements of the South Carolina Local Government Comprehensive Planning Enabling Act of 1994 (S.C. Code of Laws Section 6-29-780 et seq).

The Commission consists of five members, each of whom are appointed by Town Council for a term of two years. Each member must be a registered voter of the town and shall either reside or own property within the town limits. No member may hold any other public office in the town or county. 

​The Commission is responsible for undertaking a continuing planning program for the physical, social and economic growth, development and redevelopment of land within the town.

To fulfill this role, one of the primary functions of the Planning Commission is to prepare, review and periodically update the town's official comprehensive plan. In order to implement the recommendations of the plan, the Commission is also charged with preparing and recommending to Town Council specific instruments and measures, including:
  • Zoning ordinances, zoning district maps and appropriate revisions thereto;
  • Regulations for the subdivision and development of land; 
  • ​An official map and appropriate revisions showing the exact location of existing or proposed public streets, highways, utility rights of way and public building sites, with regulations and procedures for administering the official map ordinance;​
  • A landscaping ordinance providing required planting, tree preservation and other aesthetic considerations;​​
  • ​A capital improvements program listing projects required to implement the adopted plans; and
  • ​Policies and procedures to implement adopted elements of the comprehensive plan. These policies and procedures may cover such topics as expanding corporate limits, extending public water and sewer systems, dedicating streets and drainage easements, and offering economic development incentive packages.  
The Commission is responsible for overseeing the administration of subdivision and land development regulations upon adoption by Town Council, including, but not limited to, the review and approval of subdivision plats and commercial developments. The Commission may also be tasked by Town Council with reviewing and providing recommendations on any other municipal matter.

Submissions for Planning Commission review should be made at least two weeks prior to the scheduled meeting date.​
