NOTICE OF INTENT TO  AMEND THE POPE COUNTY  LAND USE CONTROLS ORDINANCE

Please take notice that on the 6th day of September, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. or shortly thereafter, the Pope County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing in the 3rd floor Conference Room at the Pope County Courthouse, Glenwood, Minnesota 56334, on a proposed amendment to the Pope County Land Use Controls Ordinance. The section of the ordinance to be amended is:

10.3.6 Non-Confinement Feeding Areas

The primary impact of the proposed amendment would be to modify from an annually issued permit, as approved by the Director, to a longer-term Interim Use Permit which is approved by the Board.  In association with the longer term permit is the inclusion of performance standards relating to the identified land use activity.  The proposed changes are limited to the permitting process and do not purport to amend the permissibility of this established and recognized land use activity.

This hearing constitutes a notice of an intention to enact an amendment to section 10.3.6 of the Pope County Land Use Controls Ordinance in Pope County, MN.

Copies of the proposed amendment is available in the Land and Resource Management Department, County Auditor Department, and on the County website at www.popecountymn.gov.
