Commission remands conditional-use case for event venue back to Planning Commission

The Butler County Commission voted 5-0 to remand Case 2025-CV-259 (CU 25-02), a conditional-use application for an event venue at 6333 SW Santa Fe Lake Road in Augusta, back to the Planning Commission. Community Development Director Toby Stewart reviewed the court's Journal Entry, which the transcript records as directing the matter back to the Board for findings by the three members who voted to deny; the Board concluded it needs a Planning Commission records review and clarified findings before issuing final written findings.
