Commissioners approve rezoning to allow used-car lot in Bethel Township (up to 220 cars)
Summary
The Board approved rezoning case Z-2026-02 (approx. 0.05 acres) from A-1 to B-3 to enable a used-car sales lot described in the record as accommodating up to 220 cars; staff required variances and multiple site approvals before development.
The Board of Clark County Commissioners voted March 18 to approve rezoning case Z-2026-02, moving approximately 0.05 acres in Bethel Township from A-1 (Agricultural) to B-3 (General Business). Planner Stephanie Dunlap summarized staff findings and recommended approval with variances; the record identifies a proposed used-car sales lot described as accommodating up to 220 cars.
Dunlap reiterated that parcel lines were approximate pending a GIS update, and said the health department must grant site approval (including confirming well or septic location if applicable), the county Engineer must review the site plan and stormwater report, and ODOT must approve driveway and stormwater outlet work. Planning Commission and the Rural Zoning Commission recommended approval as presented. Commissioner Charles A. Patterson moved to approve the rezoning and Commissioner Richard L. Lohnes seconded; the roll call vote was unanimous.
Note on transcript labeling: the meeting record contains a repeated motion-line that names Z-2026-01 in the second hearing; based on the agenda and staff presentation the board's second motion and subsequent vote apply to Z-2026-02. This article reflects that correction and uses the official case number for the second item.
