Zoning

The zoning map sets forth the location and boundaries of the zoning districts.

The Travelers Rest Zoning Ordinance (Appendix A of the City of Travelers Rest Code of Ordinances) can be found HERE.

The regulations, restrictions, and boundaries set forth in this Ordinance may from time to time be amended, supplemented, changed, or repealed by the City Council, after study by the Planning Commission, and in accordance with procedures found in Article 10 of the City of Travelers Rest Zoning Ordinance.
