During a public hearing, held at Monday’s Bluffton council meeting, the council okayed a request from Bluffton Hospital to rezone a property on Harmon Road.

The zoning change enables the hospital to raze a house, which it owns, at 565 Harmon Road, and to create additional parking at the hospital. (see attached map).

The property is currently Residential I and will move to Residential II.

The property is directly south of the Bluffton Women’s Care building at 559 Harmon Road.
