Port Royal Council Set for Key Votes July 8; Recent Meetings Held No Recorded Decisions

Port Royal's recent government meetings produced no recorded decisions — all three held in the past two weeks remain agenda-only with minutes not yet published. The consequential action is ahead: Town Council has scheduled final votes for July 8 on e-bike regulations, a property rezoning, and a sidewalk land transfer.

Planning Commission — June 22

The Planning Commission was scheduled to hold a public hearing on an annexation request for 0.76 acres at 132 Castle Rock Road, filed by L'Abri Associates LLC. The commission was also set to consider a map amendment zoning the property as T4 Neighborhood Center - Open, and to approve minutes from its May 26, 2026, meeting.

Minutes have not been published, so no outcomes are available. The annexation and zoning request is expected to move to Town Council for first reading on July 8.

Town Council Public Hearing — July 1

Council held a public hearing on four proposed ordinances, though no minutes have been published to confirm what was discussed or decided:

**Rezoning 1005 16th Street:** Rezone 0.18 acres from T5 Main Street to T4 Urban Center.
**Development Code amendment:** Amend Section 4.1.20 on applicability.
**E-bike regulations:** Add e-bike definitions and safety regulations to Chapter 19.
**Sidewalk land transfer:** Authorize conveyance of a parcel at 814 11th Street, approximately 76 feet, for sidewalk construction.

Residents were invited to comment on all four items.

Town Council Workshop — July 1

A procedural workshop was held to review and finalize the agenda for the July 8 regular council meeting. No substantive decisions or public hearings were scheduled. The agenda also included a reminder about the July 4th Celebration at Sands Beach.

Coming Up

Town Council — July 8, 2026: This is the meeting to watch. Council is scheduled for second and final readings on three ordinances from the July 1 public hearing:

Second reading: rezone 0.18 acres at 1005 16th Street from T5 Main Street to T4 Urban Center.
Second reading: ordinance defining e-bikes and establishing safe operation rules.
Second reading: authorize property conveyance for sidewalk construction at 814 11th Street.

Council will also take up first readings on new items:

First reading: annex 0.76 acres at 132 Castle Rock Road and zone as T4 Neighborhood Center Open.
First reading: rezone 25.22 acres at 337 Savannah Highway from Planned Unit Development to T4 Neighborhood Center.

The agenda also includes a proclamation honoring the Gullah Geechee Nation and a presentation from Dragon Boat Beaufort.

Residents interested in the e-bike rules, the 16th Street rezoning, or the Savannah Highway rezoning — the largest parcel under consideration at 25.22 acres — should plan to attend.
