Charleston County Council adopted its first Comprehensive Plan in 1999 after a two-year long planning process. The Plan is the future vision for preservation and development in Charleston County for the next five to ten years. The Plan establishes strategies for the County to pursue to maintain and enhance its high quality, unique landscapes with a focus on strategies that the County government can directly influence and achieve. It is a guide for public decision-making. The County's elected and appointed officials use the Plan to evaluate future proposals and policy changes to ensure consistent decisions are made. Furthermore, the Plan provides guidance to landowners and developers on what is appropriate in the County.
The Plan can be viewed online by clicking here.
The 1999 Plan was the first prepared under the 1994 Comprehensive Plan Enabling Act. The Plan was subsequently reviewed in 2003, updated in 2008, reviewed in 2013-2014, and updated in 2019. The Plan has also been amended several times in between. Charleston County is beginning the five-year review of the Plan. There will be many opportunities for public input throughout the review process. The first is a public input survey, which should take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Your responses will help us understand your vision for the County for the next five to ten years. You will be asked for your input regarding the Vision statement contained in the Plan as well as your input regarding the goal for each of the eleven Elements contained in the Plan. The survey will be open until January 3, 2023.
