Rock Hill to consider re-zoning for possible Sam's Club

ROCK HILL --
Rock Hill City Council will meet tonight to consider rezoning nearly 40 acres along the Dave Lyle Corridor that could be home to a Sam's Club.
At the last meeting in October, council members passed the first proposal of the rezoning request, which affects areas of the boulevard, Red River Road and Cross Pointe Drive by changing them to Planned Development Commercial. Council also annexed parts of Red River Road into the city.
Rock Hill developer Warren Norman is already developing 8 acres of the site for an Academy Sports + Outdoors Store, a $10 million project that is slated for a February opening.
The other project discussed is a 136,000-square-foot warehouse and retail space with a gas station. Reports last month mentioned it could be home to a Sam's Club, but city officials and Norman would not confirm that. The space is typical of the big-box buildings such as Sam's Club, Costco and BJ Wholesale Club.
Council will also consider passing a law that would clarify the city's smoking designation. The new language defines a "retail tobacco store" as a retail store used for the sale of tobacco products and accessories and eliminates a line about the sale of other products being "incidental."
Both proposals must go through one more approval before it is accepted.
Council will meet at 5:30 tonight in City Council chambers.
