Loading...
Summary
At its April 27 meeting the Pennington County Planning Commission continued a conditional use permit review for a storage facility to July 13, 2026, and approved a comprehensive plan amendment, a rezone and a preliminary subdivision plan for the Livermont property on Dawkins Road, forwarding those actions per staff recommendations.
The Pennington County Planning Commission took a bundle of land‑use actions on April 27, 2026: it continued one conditional use permit while approving a comprehensive plan amendment, a rezone and a preliminary subdivision plan.
Item 5a (CUR97‑36) for Highway Storage LLC (13640 South Highway 16) was continued because required setback and screening conditions from a prior approval had not been met. Senior planner Cody Sachs said an enforcement notice was issued and staff recommended the applicant submit an action plan by 2026‑05‑08 and meet setback and screening requirements by 2026‑07‑01; the commission voted to continue CUR97‑36 to the July 13, 2026 meeting.
Items 5c and 5d concerned a request by Tom Livermont for a comprehensive plan amendment (COCA26‑0003) and a rezone (CORZ26‑0001) for a roughly 5.6‑acre property at 15350 Dawkins Road. Planner Trenton Miller told the commission there were no departmental objections and that the proposal aligns with surrounding lot sizes and the county comprehensive plan. The commission approved the comprehensive plan amendment and the rezone per staff recommendation.
Item 5e (preliminary plan COPPL26‑004) to subdivide the Livermont property into two lots was approved with 10 conditions; planners noted an existing garage will require a setback variance because of the dedication of additional right‑of‑way.
All of the approved items will be carried forward consistent with staff findings; the commission transmitted its recommendation on the campground (COCU26‑0006) to the Board of Commissioners for final action on May 5, 2026. The meeting adjourned after the county board report and announcements.
