support for the City’s zoning efforts while advocating for more activities, recreational
opportunities, and resources for children and seniors in the community.

Councilor Herbert asked if Forest Heights is within the city or the county.

Ms. Ellen Anderson, President of the Forest Heights Community Association stated that they
are within the county.



 Page 11 of 19
Councilor Herbert asked her to clarify the request, noting that City Council could not take
action on matters related to the County and that the City also maintains a prioritized list of
areas for annexation.

Councilor Bailey explained that Blue Ridge Terrace is currently located in the County, but
with the City coming into that area better things are on the way.

Ms. Marquita Thompson, 824 Blue Ridge Terrace expressed concerns regarding the
upcoming development in the Blue Ridge and Monticello Road area. She asked for
clarification on the type of development being proposed. She expressed concern about the
potential impact additional residential development could have on crime in the
neighborhood.

Mayor Rickenmann clarified that while the density is increasing, that doesn't correlate with
crime increasing in the area.

Councilor Herbert stated that there will be 800 residential homes in addition to retail
stores.

Ms. Marquita Thompson, 824 Blue Ridge Terrace asked about incoming restaurants.

Mayor Rickenmann explained that increased density creates greater opportunities for
investment because businesses rely on traffic and customer activity. He stated that
additional development could help attract neighborhood-serving businesses, such as
grocery stores.

Councilor Herbert reassured Ms. Thompson that the process would take some time and
asked the developer whether the timeline would be two to three years.

Mr. Kevin Steelman, Developer & President / LandTech Communities said they are breaking
ground next year.

Councilor Brennan said the summary noted that it will be 10 to 13 years for the full build
out.

Councilor Johnson clarified that the annexation would allow the residential project to move
forward and noted that such growth often attracts additional amenities like retail and
grocery options. He added that increased activity in the area can also help support
neighborhood safety.

Ms. Marquita Thompson, 824 Blue Ridge Terrace asked how far the planned build-out will
extend.

Mr. Kevin Steelman, Developer & President / LandTech Communities stated that the
company has contracted to purchase the property for development of a master-planned
community. He explained that the project is expected to include approximately 800 single-
family homes, with residential development located primarily within the interior of the
property, while the frontage along Blue Ridge Terrace and Monticello Road would be
reserved for retail and commercial uses.

Councilor Johnson asked about the proximity of a church located in the Blue Ridge Terrace
area and whether it would be impacted by the proposed development.


 Page 12 of 19
Mr. Kevin Steelman, Developer & President / LandTech Communities answered that he did
not anticipate any impact to the church and noted that a parcel previously acquired from
the church would be retained by the seller for planned commercial use.

Councilor Brennan thanked Mr. Steelman for his investment in Columbia, Richland County,
and the Midlands, stating that the project supports the City and County’s goals for growth
and quality-of-life improvements. He also commented on the residential growth occurring
along the Garners Ferry and Highway 378 corridors and asked whether the proposed
density would remain the same under City jurisdiction.

Mr. Andrew Livengood, Zoning Administrator / Planning and Development Services
explained that most of the property is currently zoned as a planned development with
primarily industrial uses. However, the Crane Creek planning study envisioned a
development layout similar to this proposal.

Councilor Brennan asked for an explanation of our urban service area, specifically the
categories of primary and secondary.

Mr. Andrew Livengood, Zoning Administrator / Planning and Development Services noted
that primary areas are those the City intends to annex, while secondary areas may lack
certain services, and long-range areas extend beyond those zones.

Councilor Brennan noted that the property is within the long-range area and already
eligible for Columbia Water services. He emphasized the need to update the City’s 2020
urban service area plan and asked City Council to meet in the fall to develop a five-year
strategy that manages projected growth without overextending services. He also
underscored the need to evaluate the impact on fire services and budget considerations
when annexing large tracts.

Mr. Aubrey D. Jenkins, Fire Chief / Columbia Fire Department explained that the
development could add 300 to 400 calls annually and would likely require a new fire station
with at least one engine and approximately 15 personnel due to the lack of existing
stations in that area.

Councilor Brennan asked where the closest firehouse was located.

Mr. Aubrey D. Jenkins, Fire Chief / Columbia Fire Department added that while there is a
station on Robert Road, it remains a considerable distance away, and ISO ratings must also
be considered. The property currently holds a Class 2 rating in the county, but would not
convert to a Class 1 rating within the city unless new infrastructure, including a fire station
and response package, is put into place.

Councilor Brennan asked could a fire station be built on six acres.

Mr. Aubrey D. Jenkins, Fire Chief / Columbia Fire Department said yes.

unanimously to give first reading approval to the Annexation, Future Land Use Map

No one appeared at this time.

Councilor Brown asked if this item was pulled or rejected the last time it appeared before
City Council.

Mr. Andrew Livengood, Zoning Administrator / Planning and Development Services reported
that the South Carolina Aeronautics Commission and the Jim Hamilton – L.B. Owens Airport
raised concerns about the overlay during the public hearing but did not oppose residential
use so long as the project stayed within the overlay and included required navigation
easements and covenants. He also shared comments from Mr. Guy Jones of the
Hollywood-Rose Hill Neighborhood Association, who opposed the rezoning due to
insufficient information from the applicant about the project and its potential impact on
nearby homes.

Councilor Johnson asked whether the Council could proceed with first reading while also
requesting that the applicant meet with the neighborhood association prior to second
reading. He clarified that this would not be a condition of approval but a request to
facilitate communication with the surrounding community.

Mr. Andrew Livengood, Zoning Administrator / Planning and Development Services said
yes.

Mayor Rickenmann asked that the applicant communicate with the neighborhood about
their plans for the lot before second reading.

Councilor Brennan asked for clarity if the applicant wasn't required to submit site plans or
provide concepts up to this point.

Mr. Andrew Livengood, Zoning Administrator / Planning and Development Services said
that is correct. He added that the Residential Mixed District (RM-2) would allow a maximum
of five dwelling units on that parcel.

unanimously to give first reading approval to the Zoning Map Amendment for Parcel at

Councilor Herbert said that the Community Development Committee held a productive
meeting earlier in the day. She reported that the 2026–2027 Annual Action Plan has been

efforts.

Upon a motion made by Mr. Johnson and seconded by Mr. Brown, Council voted
unanimously to refer the exploration of potential revenue generation opportunities related
to tax-exempt properties and entities that do not currently contribute to the city’s tax rolls
to the Economic Development & Infrastructure Committee.

approximately $10,000 in tax revenue for each of the 15 homes, according to the Chief
Financial Officer.

Councilor Brennan reported that the Public Safety Committee met on May 12, 2026. During
the meeting, Councilor Bailey presented the Parental Accountability Support Resolution,
