Parking, signage and visibility often decide whether customers find you. Check that zoning parking requirements fit your use, how many spaces are really yours, where your sign can go and what local sign rules allow, and how easily drivers can see and turn into the property. Get signage and parking rights written into your lease.
In a market where many customers are visitors driving unfamiliar roads, being easy to see and easy to reach matters. Here's what to check.

Why does parking matter so much?
Parking affects both your customers and your zoning. Customers who can't find a space may keep driving. And zoning codes usually set parking requirements by use, so a restaurant or medical office may need more spaces than the retail shop before it.
Horry County notes that its commercial zoning compliance covers requirements including parking. Ask the zoning office for your use's requirements before you sign. See zoning in Horry County.
What should your lease say about parking?
Most shopping center tenants share parking. Ask whether any spaces are reserved, whether employees must park in a certain area, and whether the landlord can change the parking layout or add buildings. Ask about busy-season conditions if the property is near tourist traffic.
If parking is critical, negotiate protections in the lease.
How do sign rules work?
Signs are controlled by both local codes and the property. The city or county sets rules on sign size, height, lighting and placement, and usually requires a sign permit. Shopping centers often have sign criteria for every tenant, and spots on a shared monument or pylon sign may be limited.
Ask the landlord exactly what signage you'll get: on the building, on any monument sign, and on doors and windows. Then confirm it works under local rules.

How do you judge visibility?
Drive it the way your customers will. Approach from both directions, at different times of day. Can you see the storefront and the sign in time to turn? Is there a median that blocks left turns? Do trees or other buildings hide you?
Visibility from a busy road doesn't always mean easy access. A space with good access and clear signage can beat one with a great view and a hard turn.
What about seasonal traffic?
The Grand Strand's tourist seasons change traffic patterns. A location that's easy to reach in winter may be congested in summer, and the reverse is true for areas that depend on visitors. Think about when your customers come, and visit the site during those times if you can.
We don't cite traffic counts here because we don't have a verified source for specific roads. SCDOT publishes traffic count data you can check for the road you're considering.
What should you check for access?
Access is how easily customers get in and out. Look for traffic lights, median breaks and shared driveways. A property with only right-in, right-out access can lose customers coming from the other direction. Check how delivery trucks will reach you and where they'll park.
Road projects can change access. SCDOT and the city or county may have planned projects near the property. Ask the landlord and check public project pages before you commit.

Does accessibility affect parking?
Yes. Accessible parking spaces and routes are part of the requirements for public-facing businesses. Ask whether the property's accessible spaces, ramps and entrances meet current standards, and who's responsible for fixing them if not. An inspection can flag visible issues.
How do visitors find businesses here?
Many visitors navigate by phone. Make sure your address works correctly in mapping apps and that your entrance is easy to identify from the road. Good signage at the driveway helps people who are following directions to an unfamiliar place. Clear building numbers and a visible entrance also help delivery drivers and first-time customers.
What terms should you know?
- Parking ratio: The number of parking spaces required or provided relative to building size or use.
- Monument sign: A low freestanding sign near the road, often shared by tenants.
- Pylon sign: A tall freestanding sign, usually listing several tenants, where allowed by local rules.
- Right-in, right-out: An entrance that only allows right turns in and out, limiting access from the opposite direction.
- Sign criteria: A landlord's rules for the size, style and placement of tenant signs in a property.
What should you negotiate?
Put signage and parking terms in writing. Ask for:
- Building and monument sign rights, including position.
- Approval of your sign design before you sign the lease.
- Limits on the landlord's right to reduce parking or block visibility.
- Rules for signs during construction.
