Zoning - Travelers Rest

The City of Travelers Rest Zoning Ordinance consists of two parts, the text and a map. The text includes the regulations and permitted uses that will apply in each zoning district, as well as the requirements and procedures governing the administration, enforcement, and future amendments to the text and the map. The role of the map is to set out graphically the location and boundaries of the zoning districts. The combination of the text and the map divides the land within Travelers Rest into zoning districts (i.e. R-10, C-2, S-1, etc…).

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restrictions, and boundaries set forth in this Ordinance may from time to time be amended, supplemented, changed, or repealed by the City Council, after study by the Planning Commission, and in accordance with procedures found in Article 10 of the City of Travelers Rest Zoning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

Applications for a zoning map amendment shall be made through the City Planning Department using the form found HERE.
