Planning Commissioner Dennis Wenzel voted against the motion, while Commissioner Jorel Davis was absent.
The property off M-44 may no longer be for sale, but Shane Larsen is now looking for a new place to build his motocross training facility.
The Belding Planning Commission originally intended to hold a public hearing on Tuesday regarding a zoning amendment that would potentially accommodate for outdoor recreation facilities after hearing a request from Larson to construct a 66-acre motocross training off M-44; however, upon hearing that the M-44 property sold to someone other than Larsen, the matter is being tabled at this time.
