Irmo, South Carolina’s town council voted 3-2 to approve a zoning change permitting a 42,000-square-foot self-storage expansion at 7949 Broad River Road, an existing PrimeSpace Storage site. The project repurposes vacant commercial space, and approval came with conditions requiring landscaping and facade improvements. The decision ran counter to zoning restrictions the town adopted in 2023, limiting new storage development to light manufacturing areas. The case reflects a recurring dynamic in suburban markets where operators seek to expand into commercial corridors amid continued community and regulatory resistance.
