Description

Description

Horry County is considering an ordinance amendment to regulate the location and zoning of data centers within the county. The amendment defines data centers, sets minimum distance requirements from residential areas, and specifies zoning standards based on the size of the data center buildings. Data centers up to 80,000 square feet would be allowed in Limited Industrial and Limited Manufacturing zones, while larger centers would require different zoning or special exceptions. The county is seeking clear regulations before allowing data centers, amid growing opposition due to concerns about energy use, noise, and environmental impact.
