Mona City Planning & Zoning approves land-use subdivision ordinance update with lawyer-reviewed edits
Summary
Mona City's Planning & Zoning board approved updates to the city's land-use and subdivision code on Dec. 4, 2024, accepting staff'proposed changes contingent on minor wording edits from the city attorney intended to bring local code into compliance with state requirements.
Speaker 1 opened a Dec. 4 Planning & Zoning public hearing to receive comments on proposed updates to Mona City's land-use and subdivision ordinances, saying the revisions "bring the ordinance in compliance with the current state code requirements" and that a copy of the proposed ordinance was available at city offices.
City staff (Speaker 2) told the board they had met with the city attorney and identified mostly minor wording changes. Staff said the Development Review Committee (DRC) will remain the final decision maker on plats after planning and review cycles, that council members cannot serve on the DRC, and that the DRC can hold optional meetings with developers at the developer's request. "The DRC has an optional meeting with the developer if the developer asks for it," Speaker 2 said.
Staff also noted administrative changes in submittal requirements (removing an unnecessarily large set of required paper copies) and said they had marked up the ordinance text and would finalize those edits before the upcoming city council meeting. Speaker 2 said the attorney had proposed wording clarifications and that staff could incorporate those changes as contingencies to city-level approval.
After discussion, Speaker 1 moved to accept the new land-use and subdivision ordinances with the contingency that the attorney's minor edits be incorporated; Speaker 4 seconded the motion. The chair then closed the public hearing and moved the ordinance forward with the stated contingencies; no members of the public spoke during the hearing.
What happens next: staff will finalize the ordinance text to incorporate the attorney's wording changes and forward the updated ordinance to the Mona City Council, as noted during the meeting. The hearing record shows the board intended to approve the update subject to those edits; the final legal adoption and any additional council-level modifications will be determined at the council meeting.
