Commission approves 3,000-square-foot agricultural accessory building at North Vista Circle
Summary
The Snyderville Basin Planning Commission approved a conditional-use permit for a 3,000-square-foot accessory building at 7618 North Vista Circle for agricultural uses (private horse boarding), subject to removal of an existing minor shed that conflicts with setbacks.
The Snyderville Basin Planning Commission on Feb. 25, 2025 approved a conditional-use permit for a 3,000-square-foot major accessory building at 7618 North Vista Circle (Silver Creek) to serve agricultural uses related to private horse boarding.
County planner Jennifer Leslie explained the structure will be used to store hay and equipment for the on-site outdoor riding arena and feed the horses. The applicant intends to rely on agricultural exemptions in state code for building-permit requirements, but Leslie noted planning and engineering reviews still apply and the CUP is required because the new building would increase the number of accessory structures on the parcel beyond existing limits.
Leslie told commissioners the proposal complies with development-code standards as conditioned. The application requires removal of a northern, undersized shed (about 350 square feet) to meet accessory-structure limits and setbacks; the applicant agreed that removal of the shed furthest from the house would be their preferred option. Leslie also noted the structure’s height at about 26 feet is within code limits.
No public comments were received at the hearing. A commissioner moved to approve the application subject to the findings and conditions in the staff report; the motion passed 5–0 in roll call vote.
The approval authorizes the agricultural accessory building provided the applicant follows the conditions of approval, removes the conditioned shed, and secures any required engineering approvals. The county planner corrected a small clerical error in the staff report during the hearing, updating the lot size to approximately 2.5 acres; the correction does not change the approval.
