Rezoning Request Withdrawn for Units Near Inlet Square Mall

The area is located behind the neighborhood Walmart along Highway 17 Bypass, across the street from Inlet Square Mall.

Yesterday, it was announced that a proposal to rezone an area in Murrells Inlet, was taken off the Horry County Planning Commission’s agenda. The request to rezone 8 acres of land at the corner of tournament boulevard and McDowell Shortcut Road has been withdrawn. The area is located behind the neighborhood Walmart along Highway 17 Bypass, across the street from Inlet Square Mall. The applicant had intentions of building a multi-family project on the land, that included 126 new units. The owner of the land attempted to rezone the area once before in 2016 for a similar purpose, but it was withdrawn as well due to community opposition. The reason behind this withdrawal has not been publicly revealed at this time.
