Hilton Head Island District Planning

Similar to the Mid-Island District Plan, additional districts will be created to guide land uses, intensities and public and private investment to achieve the desired patterns identified within the district plans.

Hilton Head Island Master Districts Map

The working draft of the Master Districts Map visually, is a series of maps identifying eight proposed districts. Based on correlation with the Growth Framework Map they are identified as districts where we will:

Conserve and protect neighborhoods, environmentally sensitive areas, and the cultural legacy of the Island.
Consider the future of commercial, civic, and institutional areas as they adapt to new market forces and evolve to meet the future needs of residents, business owners, and visitors.

Next steps will be to refine the district boundaries and begin to develop a plan for each district that reflects its underlying conditions and addresses identified challenges with a definition for conservation or considerate growth.

A robust engagement process for this initiative will include citizens, Town Officials, and community leaders to gain input and build on recent, relevant work. This will expand knowledge and understanding, and serve as foundation for how and where we conserve, protect, and grow our Island.
