Rincon Board Approves Conceptual Site Plan for Industrial Building Expansion
The City of Rincon Zoning Board reviewed a conceptual site plan approval request for a 77,500 square foot expansion of an existing industrial building for automotive parts, designed to support robotic assembly operations. The property, owned by Effingham County IDA and located at 1000 Saywan EV Road, is zoned PUD. The expansion will include on-site stormwater management and connect to existing water and sewer services without requiring new utility expansions. The applicant, Brant Williams from Hussey Gay Bell, stated that a 20-foot buffer with the adjacent IDA-owned parcel would be removed, with a 15-foot building setback maintained. Existing parking is sufficient for one shift plus 15% for shift change. Staff recommended approval.
