The bill S. 1048, introduced in the South Carolina Senate, mandates that all new single-family dwelling units in the Blue Ridge Community of Greenville County must be built on tracts of land no less than five acres. Additionally, it stipulates that multi-family dwellings must also be constructed on a tract of land that is equal to five acres for each dwelling unit. This legislation aims to regulate land use and development within the community to ensure spacious residential areas.

An exception to these requirements is provided for individuals who inherit or receive a tract of land smaller than five acres from a family member, allowing them to maintain ownership for personal use and enjoyment. The bill will take effect upon receiving approval from the Governor.
