Resident raises complaint about nightly event rentals at Westwood Road property; county says investigation and lawsuits are active
Summary
A Park City resident called during public comment to complain that a property at 857 Westwood Road is operating nightly events in alleged violation of a conditional-use permit. The county attorney said enforcement staff have an active investigation and that two lawsuits are pending; no timeline for enforcement was provided.
During the Feb. 26 public-comment period a resident identified as Scott Petler called in to report repeated nightly events at a property he named as 857 Westwood Road (the Dell property) and asked for an update on enforcement. Petler said the use appeared to be operating as an event center and nightly rental in violation of its conditional-use permit and that neighbors were frustrated by ongoing activity.
County Attorney David (staff) responded that the situation is the subject of an active investigation and of two lawsuits. He said the county would not comment on the details of ongoing investigations or litigation but confirmed enforcement staff are pursuing the matter. “It is an active investigation that continues, for possible enforcement action. There also is there are 2 active lawsuits,” the attorney said, and added that decisions on enforcement action will follow the investigatory report and legal review; he could not provide a timeline.
Petler asked whether there was an estimate of when action might happen; the county attorney replied that timing is dependent on the judicial process and the completion of the enforcement investigation. The attorney encouraged the caller to stay in contact with the clerk’s office and counsel assigned to code enforcement.
Why it matters: Neighbors raised the complaint as a recurring local-land-use and permit-enforcement issue. County staff confirmed they are investigating and that litigation is pending, but did not provide a completion date for investigative or court processes.
