SPRING 2016 | COASTAL CONSERVATION LEAGUE 7 WHAT’S A FORM-BASED CODE?

Based on design principles from traditional places such as historic Charleston, form-based codes are a regulatory tool that planners use to create walkable, connected commu- nities. As opposed to conventional single-use zoning that prescribes certain land uses, form-based codes focus on the form of physical structures and public spaces between buildings – streets, parks, plazas, boulevards, etc. Dana Beach

CAN’T YOU BUILD WALKABLE NEIGHBORHOODS WITHOUT A FORM-BASED CODE?

A form-based code puts urban character – the sense of place, how a place looks and feels – before the details of how the buildings are being used. Consequently, developers can plan communities capable of surviving the test of time as needs and demographics change.

HOW IS A FORM-BASED CODE DIFFERENT FROM A TYPICAL ZONING CODE?

A typical, conventional zoning code puts microscopic details of use before every other consideration. For example, if you have land zoned for offices, you can’t put anything else there without a rezoning, and the rezoning process usually has few clear design parameters that are A form-based code relies heavily on predictable and fair to all parties. “by-right” development standards adopted Conventional zoning codes focus on by the community.

From the Lowcountry to the Blue Ridge, markets for solar energy are heating up in South Carolina. Solar panels have popped up on rooftops around neighborhoods and in business districts.

For nearly a decade, the Coastal Conservation League has been fighting efforts to develop Captain Sams Spit. The Spit is ecologically significant and worthy of protection. The fight to protect the spit began in 2008 when developers, now known as Kiawah Development Partners (KDP), pressured then Congressman Henry Brown (R-SC1) to introduce legislation that would have removed Captain Sams Spit from the Coastal Barrier Resources System. This federally designated system delineates erosional and vulnera- ble natural areas where federal subsidies in the form of flood insurance and hurricane relief are prohib- ited in order to discourage development. Thanks to the outcry of hundreds of Conservation League members and activists, the bill was withdrawn and the spit remains in the Coastal Barrier Resources System today. But the fight to protect Captain Sams Spit was just beginning. Shortly after their legislative attempt, KDP began applying for development permits, including a request to build a 2,783-foot concrete sloped revet- ment and a vertical bulkhead to stabilize the prop- erty for the development of 50 homes and related infrastructure. Represented by the South Carolina Dana Beach Environmental Law Project (SCELP), the Conserva- tion League challenged this permit.

Painted buntings are declining in number and are a high priority species in the Southeast. They also happen to be one of the most colorful and sought after birds by birdwatchers in South Carolina. The state supports a third-to-a-half of the total breeding population and is considered to play a vital role in the species’ conservation. In the 2015 State Wildlife Action Plan recently developed by the South Caro- lina Department of Natural Resources, the painted bunting is listed in the category of Highest Priority Species for protection.

SPRING 2016 | COASTAL CONSERVATION LEAGUE 13 Until recently, Pappy’s Island was owned by developers and zoned to accommodate two homes. These developers obtained permits for a septic sys- tem and a private, recreational dock for the island, despite public opposition.

The Conservation League, represented by the South Carolina Environmental Law Project, ap- pealed the dock permit and coordinated with con- cerned citizens.

The Coastal Zone Manage- ment Program is one of the laws that we de- pend on to preserve the marshes and wetlands that attract visitors, provide protection from flooding, and serve as the pit stops for migra- tory birds. But legislators have introduced bills that would remove coastal protections for much of Dorchester County under South Carolina’s Coastal Management Program. If successful, these bills would set a dangerous precedent for other coastal counties. The current designation of the coastal zone is the result of much study and compromise, and it reflects the need for more planning and pro- tection in the most rapidly growing areas near our coast. The Conservation League supports the current coastal zone in its entirety.

PAVING OVER HORRY COUNTY’S NATURAL HERITAGE by Nancy Cave, North Coast Director

Lewis Ocean Bay was acquired by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (DNR) as a Heritage Trust Preserve in the late 1980s. It is one of the crown jewels of South Carolina’s natural landscape – 9000 acres known for its Carolina Bays bears, and Venus’ flytraps – tucked between Conway and Myrtle Beach. In order to have a say in the preserve’s future, DNR negotiated own- ership of the preserve to the center line of the dirt road known as International Drive, serving as the southern border for L.O.B. In the intervening years, two major roads, SC 22 and Hwy 31 were built on the preserve’s northern and eastern borders, allowing development to creep closer and closer, fragmenting the preserve’s

Conservation League staff told Horry County officials that we would not oppose the road if the county amended the permit to include an animal passageway, fencing on both sides of the road, and a reduction in curb cuts. Conservation League staff sat at the table with Horry County Council members twice and were rebuffed both times. Last June, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) issued the county a permit for International Drive. Later that summer, the Conesrvation League appealed the permit. The appeal Dana Beach was argued in front of the Administrative Law Court in February. The future of Lewis Ocean Bay is at stake. This pris- tine ecosystem could become a fragmented and isolated landscape, with the pressure of development a constant threat. There are alternatives to maintain Lewis Ocean Bay’s integrity: building a two-lane road with animal passageways, fencing on both sides of the road to keep animals and cars separated, and mitigation that extends the preserve to the Waccamaw River. But ultimately, the survival of Lewis Ocean Bay will depend on a com- munity committed to protecting a natural treasure right Dana Beach in their own backyard.
