The Gulfstream Café v. Georgetown County

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court affirmed the circuit court, holding that Georgetown County Council's ordinance permitting a new restaurant in the Marlin Quay Planned Development did not violate Gulfstream Café's substantive due process rights, did not constitute a regulatory taking or inverse condemnation, was not invalidated by Councilmember Goggans' prior involvement, and that Gulfstream's procedural‑due‑process claim failed.
