County advances zoning change first reading and Board of Adjustment approves two CUPs
Summary
The commission held a first reading on Ordinance #2026-01 to add retail sales and trade as a conditional use in HSC zoning (second reading set for June 9, 2026). The Board of Adjustment approved CUP #451-26 (Artz Kids/Marta's Dog House) and CUP #501 (Root Wellness/Carly Messner) with the latter contingent on ordinance approval.
On May 26 the Lawrence County Commission held a first reading and public hearing for Ordinance #2026-01, which would add "Retail Sale and Trade" as a conditional use in HSC zoning. Planning & Zoning Administrator Amber Vogt presented the staff report; no public input was voiced at the hearing and the commission set a second reading for June 9, 2026 at 9:00 a.m.
Separately, while convened as the Board of Adjustment, the board approved Conditional Use Permit #451-26 for Artz Kids, LLC (Marta Artz) to change the number of dogs allowed and add grooming and retail space at Marta's Dog House; the motion carried unanimously. The board also approved Conditional Use Permit #501 for Mile High Construction, LLC/Root Wellness, LLC (applicant Carly Messner) to allow retail sales and trade in conjunction with wellness, professional and education services in HSC zoning; the approval was contingent upon passage of Ordinance 26-01.
Amber Vogt answered questions about parking and zoning implications during both items; a public commenter (Dave Klein) asked about retail details and parking for Root Wellness and staff shared a parking drawing that showed there would be no parking on the road. The minutes record motions and unanimous approvals for the CUPs.
