Planning commission approves revisions to Mona sign ordinance (Ordinance 2025-20)
Summary
Mona City Planning and Zoning held a public hearing and voted to adopt changes to Ordinance 2025-20, a rewrite of the city sign code that removes a CU‑2 zoning category and reassigns related provisions to commercial/industrial and freeway interchange zones.
The Mona City Planning and Zoning Commission on Oct. 1 held a public hearing and approved amendments to Mona City Ordinance 2025‑20, the municipal sign ordinance.
The commission’s chair opened the hearing by noting the edits and invited public comment before the vote. "The ones in red are what was in there before, and the ones that are in green are some new ordinances or reworded," the chair said while referring to printed copies of the draft ordinance distributed at the meeting.
Why it matters: the ordinance rewrite removes a previously referenced CU‑2 category that the commission said Mona did not use, and relocates those provisions into a Commercial Industrial Freeway Interchange Zone (F‑1 on the map) and other commercial/industrial categories. The changes are intended to close ambiguities the commission found in the earlier sign code.
Commission discussion and public comments focused on how the map and revised text treat combined‑use areas and sign allowances. A member of the public, Josh David, asked whether signs currently allowed in combined‑use areas would also be allowed under the new interchange and commercial designations; staff replied that prior CU allowances were clarified and assigned to the orange and purple areas on the map (commercial/industrial/interchange zones).
Action and outcome: the commission moved to accept the changes to Mona City Ordinance 2025‑20 and the motion carried. Commissioners present registered support during the vote; individual verbal votes recorded in the transcript included "Frank? Aye" and "Jeff? Aye." The ordinance will proceed according to the city’s adoption process.
What comes next: staff said the city attorney reviewed the draft and that the final text and map were posted on the city and state websites. The commission indicated the amendments would be included in the public record and followed by any formal adoption steps required by city code.
The ordinance text the commission considered shows previous language in red and proposed rewording in green and is available on the Mona website, the chair said.
