Clark County fiscal court approved first readings for multiple rezoning ordinances and heard a planner's assurance that the proposals conform to the county's comprehensive plan.

The court moved and approved first reading of rezoning for parcels (listed on the agenda) including 1131, 1175 and 1224 Rolling Hills, changing from A-1 to Planned Development (PD). Immediately following, the court considered rezoning 2500 Mount Sterling Road from A-1 to PD. A county planner explained the 2024 comprehensive plan designates the property for an interstate employment/residential center and said the proposed mix of single-family, multi-family and commercial uses would contribute to the site's development and meet land-use designation requirements. The planner cited CARES chapter 101.213 in describing the legal basis for rezoning recommendations.

A commissioner asked for confirmation that the rezoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan and the planner affirmed that the recommendation was based on the plan's future land-use designation and the binding motion made earlier by the commission. The court voted in favor of the ordinance first readings.

The actions were procedural first readings; additional hearings or readings may follow as required by county ordinance before final rezoning takes effect.
