September 10th 2026 Clinton County Planning Commission

The Clinton County Planning Commission held a meeting on September 10, 2026, primarily focused on a zoning amendment request to rezone approximately 47.24 acres at the northeast corner of Scott Road and Wildcat Road from R1 (single-family residential) to MF (multifamily residential). The meeting included extensive public comments opposing the rezoning due to concerns about traffic, infrastructure capacity, environmental impact, and compatibility with the comprehensive plan. Developer representatives presented a development study and discussed housing needs, site selection, and market considerations. The commission reviewed the seven findings of fact required by the zoning ordinance and ultimately voted 5-1 to recommend approval of the rezoning to the Board of Commissioners, who will make the final decision. The meeting also included updates on environmental studies related to local dam muscle relocation and a notice of a commissioner resignation with a call for applicants supportive of county planning and zoning.
