Thorp council approves zoning changes and permits including church use in commercial zone
Summary
Council added 'Church' as a conditional use in Commercial zoning, granted two conditional use permits (including The Rock Church) and adopted an ordinance regulating hemp-derived cannabinoid products.
The council debated zoning and land-use items and approved several actions affecting commercial districts and local businesses. Council voted to amend the Conditional Use list for Commercial zoning to add the word 'Church'; the motion (Lawcewicz, Einhorn) passed 4-1 with Alderperson Rosemeyer dissenting.
The council approved a Conditional Use Permit for Dennis Helfert to install an awning at 220 N. Washington Street, subject to conditions that the awning be maintained safely and match the building design; M/M/S (Rosemeyer, Lawcewicz) passed 5-0. The council also granted The Rock Church a Conditional Use Permit to operate in a Commercial District; that motion passed 4-1 with Rosemeyer voting no.
On a separate item, the council adopted Ordinance 2025-05-01 to create Sec. 10-9-3 regulating hemp-derived cannabinoid and synthetic cannabinoid products, a measure modeled on regulations in other Clark County municipalities. The ordinance passed M/M/S (Lawcewicz, Enkers) 5-0.
These land-use decisions change allowable uses in parts of the commercial district and approve two site-specific permits subject to standard conditions and monitoring.
