The Muscatine County Board of Supervisors approved Ordinance 11 10 25 01 on Nov. 10, rezoning a parcel in Bloomington Township from A1 agricultural to R1 residential and waiving the required third reading.
County development director Eric Furnace said the Board of Adjustment had held a public hearing on the matter the prior week and granted approval on the first of three readings. No additional correspondence had been received, and staff recommended waiving the final reading at the applicant’s request.
Supervisor (Speaker 3) moved to approve and waive the third reading, Supervisor (Speaker 8) seconded, and the board conducted a roll-call vote. Chair called Jeff, Danny, Kurt and Scott, each of whom voted "aye," and the motion passed.
Staff noted the property was in an area with generally low CSR (cropland productivity) but clarified the county’s solar ordinance does not treat CSR as a factor in special-use decisions. No further discussion or appeals were recorded during the meeting.
