Planning Commission backs rezoning of 67.32-acre Clinton Trails park parcel
Summary
The Clinton County Planning Commission unanimously recommended that the Board of Commissioners rezone about 67.32 acres at 7575 W. Pratt Road in Riley Township from Mineral Resource (MR) to General Agriculture (A-2), saying the MR district is being phased out and the property is used for public recreation.
The Clinton County Planning Commission voted unanimously on June 11 to recommend the Board of Commissioners approve a map amendment for a roughly 67.32-acre parcel at 7575 W. Pratt Road in Riley Township (Parcel ID: 130-021-200-001-00), changing the zoning from Mineral Resource (MR) to General Agriculture (A-2). Interim Zoning Director Lynn Wilson told the commission the MR district is no longer being used and is being phased out where possible; the parcel is the site of Clinton Trails County Park and is used for public recreation.
Public comment was opened and there were no speakers. The commission moved to recommend approval after staff concluded the petition met the seven criteria set out in §7.21(E)(2) of the Clinton County Zoning Ordinance. The motion to recommend approval was made by Stephanie Schafer and supported by Dawn Levey; the roll-call tally recorded a unanimous recommendation (7-0) to forward the rezoning to the Board of Commissioners for final action.
If approved by the Board, the parcel’s regulatory status would change from a legacy mineral-resource designation to an agricultural classification that aligns with the county’s current zoning districts. The Planning Commission record notes the parcel address, acreage and Parcel ID as the factual basis for its recommendation.
