In a recent government meeting, council members discussed a proposed ordinance to impose a moratorium on zoning map amendments and new development subdivisions within the airport overlay district. The ordinance aims to temporarily halt such applications until January 9, 2025, as part of the Kershaw County Unified Code of zoning and land use regulations.

During the session, an amendment was proposed to exempt churches and places of worship from the moratorium, allowing them to expand their existing facilities. Councilman Jones supported the amendment, but it ultimately failed to pass, resulting in a tie vote of three in favor and three against.

Following the amendment's failure, the council proceeded to vote on the original ordinance, which was approved with support from several council members, including Councilman Jones, Councilman Tomlinson, Councilman Cato, Councilman Shumate, and Councilman Tucker. One council member opposed the ordinance.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, marking the end of discussions on the zoning moratorium and its implications for local development.
