4-27-2026 Pennington County Planning Commission Meeting

The Pennington County Planning Commission held a meeting on April 27, 2026, where several land use and zoning matters were discussed, including conditional use permit reviews and plan unit development overlays. Key procurement-related discussions involved the approval of a conditional use permit for a horse and RV campground (COCU 26-00006) with 33 conditions, including provisions for sanitation, water, and fire safety measures. The commission addressed public safety concerns related to traffic and road conditions on Highway 385, floodplain environmental impacts, and neighborhood opposition. Despite opposition citing traffic hazards and environmental risks, the commission approved the permit with added conditions regarding fire pit usage and local fire authority contact information. Other agenda items included approvals of comprehensive plan amendments, rezonings, and preliminary plans for property subdivisions, all with staff recommendations and conditions. The meeting concluded with a report that the Board of Commissioners concurred with prior planning commission recommendations and announcements about staffing changes.
