St. George City Council met in regular session and unanimously approved a package of land‑use and administrative items, including a planned‑development amendment to allow a Costco and related fuel station, a set of general‑plan and rezoning changes for multiple properties, a substantial amendment to the 2024 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) annual action plan reallocating leftover federal funds, and a resolution increasing the city’s development share in the Power County energy project. The council continued consideration of the Mojave Crossing site plan for a 107‑room hotel, medical offices and retail to allow the applicant and staff time to address access, grading and visual‑impact concerns.
Why this matters: The decisions open new retail capacity and commercial acreage in the Atkinsville/Desert Color and Old Farm areas, redirect federal CDBG dollars to an immediate capital need, and secure a larger share of future power generation for the city as existing power contracts near expiration.
