Council adopts ordinance to allow limited staff-approved zoning adjustments
Summary
Park City Council adopted Ordinance 1208-2025 (vote 5-0) to create a code section permitting administrative, staff-approved adjustments to certain zoning standards to reduce Board of Zoning Appeals variances and expedite development review.
Park City Council adopted Ordinance 1208-2025 by a roll-call vote of 5-0 to add a new code section permitting limited staff-approved adjustments to zoning standards, including setbacks, parking, screening and landscaping standards.
The nut graf: the change authorizes the zoning administrator to approve certain small modifications administratively to reduce the number of variances that otherwise would come before the Board of Zoning Appeals, with the stated intent of accelerating routine development and site plan reviews.
The city's zoning administrator explained the amendment falls into two parts: (1) a new section that allows staff to make small modifications to standards such as setback reductions, parking reductions and landscaping/screening adjustments, and (2) a change to the Downtown DD District to permit modification of front or rear setbacks in future site plan review applications. The planning commission reviewed the draft and recommended approval.
Action: Councilmember Troy Hill moved to approve Ordinance 1208-2025; Councilmember Jim Schrader seconded. The clerk conducted a roll-call vote with each member recorded as "Aye." The motion passed 5-0.
Ending: The ordinance is adopted; staff will implement administrative procedures for processing these adjustments and apply the change during site plan and permit review.
