Commission approved a rezoning for ~51.68 acres, a 772‑acre BZI development agreement, a $600,000 SS4A planning contract, utility and recreation funding agreements, and personnel hires; an easement request from Kandor was tabled pending further document review.
At its Sept. 9 meeting the Iron County Commission recorded the following actions:
- Zone change (A‑20 to RA‑20) for ~51.68 acres near 7000 W / 4000 S in Cedar City: public hearing held; motion moved and seconded; approved by voice vote (agenda item 1).
- Development agreement with BZI Innovation Park LLC (772 acres): commission approved a development agreement that reserves 400 sewer connections and anticipates oversizing sewer infrastructure and a lift station (agenda item 2).
- SS4A countywide transportation‑safety planning contract: commission approved a not‑to‑exceed $600,000 contract with Kimley‑Horn (federal share $480,000; county match $120,000 from the local corridor preservation fund) subject to final scope review and procurement compliance (agenda item 6).
- Temporary use and access agreement with Rocky Mountain Power for staging at the county rock pit (quarry): approved; includes restoration and compensation terms (agenda item 7).
- UDOT pass‑through funds and Dixie National Forest cooperative agreement to support Cedar Mountain winter‑recreation parking and lane improvements: commission approved UDOT pass‑through funds and accepted $61,000 from the Forest Service to support restroom paving and related work (agenda items 8 & 9).
- Kandor ingress/egress easement request across county property (related to a 2023 county purchase): discussion revealed competing recollections about whether the easement was part of the original sale. Action was tabled pending staff review of recorded plat, closing packet, and title documents (agenda item 10).
- Personnel approvals: multiple hires and internal selections were approved (corrections deputies, building/code enforcement transfer, legal assistant, part‑time DMV clerk) (personnel items).
Where motions were made on the record, the transcript records voice votes and commissioners' aye statements rather than numeric rollcall tallies. The commission directed staff to follow up on implementation steps and to report back on the Kandor easement.
