Commissioners adopt land-use change removing business-license requirement for two agricultural uses
Summary
The commission adopted an ordinance (3-0) removing a county business-license requirement for two agricultural land-use categories after a Planning Commission recommendation; land-use and safety requirements remain in force.
The Utah County Board of County Commissioners voted 3-0 to adopt amendments to the county land-use ordinance that remove a separate business-license requirement for two specific agricultural uses.
Speaker 7 (Kelsey, representing the applicant) told the commission that staff had reviewed the county code and presented an ordinance in January; the Planning Commission then reviewed the related land-use sections (Utah County Land Use Ordinance sections 3-51(d) and 3-52(d)) and recommended removal of the business-license requirement by a 4-0 vote. "We took those before the Planning Commission...they made a recommendation to you for approval with a 4-0 vote to have the requirement of obtaining a business license removed," the presenter said.
Commissioners confirmed that removing the separate business-license requirement does not remove applicable land-use or safety regulation. "The applicant will still have to go through the procedures that are listed in chapter 3," one commissioner said; Bertelsen and staff confirmed that required inspections, such as fire-safety inspections for certain uses, would remain in place.
A motion to adopt the ordinance was made by Commissioner 2 and seconded by Commissioner 3; the measure passed unanimously, 3-0.
