Porter County approves Four Corners Winery rezoning to CM with written commitments

Jun 2, 2026

The board rezoned Four Corners Winery to CM commercial zoning with recorded written commitments limiting some CM permitted uses and adding 'raising a farm and exotic animals' to allow the owner's free‑range chickens; petitioner Deian Sasser and planning staff said the change avoids five‑year variance renewals.

Planning staff presented written commitments that remove several normally permitted CM uses from the property; the commitments were described as a recorded document that would be filed with the ordinance.
