The Pennington County Planning Commission handled routine business Feb. 9, approving a five-item consent agenda of conditional use permit reviews, moving one plat vacation forward with a condition, and continuing a separate conditional use application to a later meeting.
Planning staff listed consent items 4A through 4E—reviews for mobile-home residency, two vacation home rentals, a carport as a primary structure in an agricultural district, and a shop building in a suburban residential district—and recommended approval on each. The commission moved, seconded and approved the full consent agenda by voice vote with no items pulled.
Assistant Planning Director Jason Thenneson asked the commission to continue Conditional Use Permit COCU 260002 (efficiency dwelling at 23212 Clear Creek Road, applicant Todd Lincolnow) because the applicant could not complete required property-owner mailings; the commission continued the item to the Feb. 23, 2026 meeting.
Staff also presented Vacation of Plat COVPL 260001, requested by Ken Davis to vacate a portion of right-of-way along Log Porch Road where a well was found to sit within previously dedicated right-of-way. Staff said the road district had no concerns and recommended approval with one condition. The commission approved the vacation by voice vote.
Staff reported no items from the Jan. 26 Planning Commission required action at the Feb. 3 Board of Commissioners meeting because they were all conditional use reviews, and noted building-permit activity in January 2026 was roughly double January 2025.
With that business concluded the commission adjourned.
