南卡罗来纳州 Charleston 举行分区规划法重写开放日: 1966年以来首次全面改写

南卡罗来纳州 Charleston 市10月22日下午3点至6点,在 Calhoun 街85号市设计部门举行分区规划法(Zoning Code)重写开放日,居民可随时到场,查看阶段性工作成果并与项目工作人员直接交流。这是该市自1966年以来首次全面重写分区规划法,旨在简化数十年来层层叠加的复杂修正条款,让开发与保护规则更易于公众理解,审批流程更可预测。
新框架还将兼顾行人连通性与交通规划,并拟设低洼地带覆盖区,应对半岛地区持续的开发压力以及洪涝与海平面上升带来的挑战。此前 Emma Abbott 纪念小教堂的拆除事件暴露了审批流程中的漏洞,市政府承认新规划法重写是明确预期、补齐制度短板的机会。
市政府表示,本次开放日是完整半岛规划草案11月公布前的预热环节,新的分区法预计2027年初最终定稿,其最终文本将直接决定未来多年半岛地区的建筑形态与开发强度。
Charleston, South Carolina Holds Zoning Code Rewrite Open Studio: First Full Rewrite Since 1966
The City of Charleston, South Carolina, held a zoning code rewrite Open Studio on October 22 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the City of Charleston Design Division, 85 Calhoun Street, where residents could drop in, view work in progress and speak directly with project staff. It is the city's first full rewrite of its zoning code since 1966, intended to simplify decades of layered amendments, make development and preservation rules easier for the public to understand, and make the approval process more predictable.
The new framework is also being developed with pedestrian connectivity and traffic in mind, and proposes a Low Elevation Overlay for the city's lowest-lying, most flood-prone properties, as the Peninsula faces continued development pressure along with flooding and sea-level challenges. The demolition of the Emma Abbott Memorial Chapel exposed gaps in the approval process, which city officials say the rewrite is an opportunity to clarify.
The city says the Open Studio comes before the complete Peninsula Plan draft is presented in November, and the rewritten code is expected to be finalized in early 2027.
