Moab planning commission kicks off land‑use code rewrite; commissioners begin sorting uses, drive‑thru and vendor rules

Feb 12, 2026

Commissioners and staff began a multipart review of a draft use table for a broader land‑use code update, debating how to classify tour operators, personal services, drive‑thrus, vehicle service stations, commissary kitchens and neighborhood retail; staff asked commissioners to sort the draft before the next meeting.

The full story

The commission used the Feb. 12 meeting to start a larger rewrite of Moab’s land‑use code. Staff presented a draft use matrix that groups similar activities into "big buckets" for future definitions and use parameters. Commissioners discussed how to classify and where to allow various uses, including tour operators and outfitters, personal services (spas, funeral establishments, massage/tattoo studios), vehicle service vs. gas/service stations, drive‑thru coffee and mobile vendors, and commissary kitchens.
