November 12 2026 Clinton County Planning Commission

The Clinton County Planning Commission met November 12, 2026. It held a public hearing and unanimously recommended that the Board of Commissioners approve a text amendment to Section 2.2 of the zoning ordinance, adding police, fire, ambulance, and other emergency services to the definition of essential services. The change would allow qualifying public safety facilities to use the ordinance’s related exemptions from certain district standards. The commission also heard public comment about allowing smaller residential parcels on farmland; no action on that issue is recorded. A speaker reported that the LC Fire Authority secured a $961,000 state appropriation toward a new facility, with the site donated; no construction contract or related procurement award was discussed.
