Richland County Development and Services Committee Committee Meeting
The committee meeting focused on proposed revisions to the Richland County Land Code to update outdoor lighting regulations.

The committee also discussed the enforcement process for commercial and industrial properties, clarifying that the regulations are intended to be prospective, applying to new installations rather than pre-existing conditions, and that violations would follow standard county code enforcement procedures.
