Cedar City Commission evaluates zoning change for Country Town USA properties

Iron County's Commission Meeting on June 9, 2025, marked a significant step forward for local development as the commission discussed a proposed zone change from industrial to commercial for a 4.73-acre parcel near Iron Springs Road. The applicant, Country Town USA Properties LLC, aims to enhance the area’s commercial potential, aligning with the county's growth strategy.

The proposal, which received a favorable recommendation from the planning commission, seeks to facilitate new business opportunities in the region, particularly around Bowman's Country Kitchen. The change is expected to support the ongoing development in the area, including the nearby Innovation Park, which is poised for expansion.

During the meeting, it was noted that the area currently has a mix of industrial and commercial zoning, and the proposed change would streamline the zoning classifications, making it easier for potential businesses to establish themselves. The commission emphasized that the area is well-served by utilities, including water and septic systems, which are crucial for commercial operations.

The public hearing on the matter was brief, with no comments from attendees, leading to a swift closure of the session. The commission expressed confidence in the proposal, highlighting the positive impact it could have on local economic growth and community development.

As Iron County continues to evolve, this zoning change represents a proactive approach to accommodating future business ventures and enhancing the local economy. The commission's decision is expected to pave the way for further developments in the area, reflecting the community's commitment to growth and progress.
