Council adopts minor‑subdivision code change to allow minor splits in commercial and industrial zones
Summary
Tooele City Council unanimously approved Ordinance 2025‑13 to remove the word “residential” from the minor‑subdivision provision, allowing the shorter minor‑subdivision process to apply to commercial and industrial parcels that meet the ordinance criteria.
Tooele City Council on May 21 approved ordinance 2025‑13, amending Tooele City Code section 7‑19‑35 to remove the word “residential” and allow the city’s minor‑subdivision procedure to apply to commercial and industrial parcels that meet the three criteria spelled out in the code. The vote was 5‑0.
Community Development Director Andrew Agard told the council the amendment is staff‑initiated to enable minor subdivisions on any lot in the city that meets the code’s criteria. Agard said the change should reduce the cost and time required to subdivide qualifying commercial and industrial properties; the planning commission reviewed the text and recommended approval 6‑0 on May 14.
After no public comment, Councilwoman Manzion moved to approve the ordinance; Councilwoman Goetz seconded. The roll call vote was Manzion — aye; Goetz — aye; Hansen — aye; McCall — aye; Bridal — aye. The motion passed 5‑0.
The amendment is a text change only; applicants for minor subdivisions must still demonstrate that a parcel meets the three criteria in the ordinance before using the expedited process.
