Proposal to expand Seneca

In front of Seneca this month will be a proposal to further expand the city limits in the vicinity of Lake Keowee. The planning commission will convene a hearing in two weeks to consider annexing multiple parcels south of Julian Davis Drive and South Cove Road. Once added to the corporate limits the plan is to zone the properties planned developed undeveloped. The owners have yet to announce their intentions, but when they do they will be required to return to the planning commission with a plan or re-zoning request, or both. The public hearing is set for 6pm on Aug. 20, at Seneca City Hall.
