Commission sends Tremonton-area rezoning request back to planning commission
Summary
A request to rezone unzoned property to rural residential (RR-1) in the Tremonton area was returned to the planning commission after the applicant asked to exclude a 1-acre parcel intended for a plumbing shop.
Scott Lyons, a member of county community development staff, summarized a request to amend the zoning map in the Tremonton area from unzoned to rural residential one-acre (RR-1). Lyons said the planning commission had recommended approval at an earlier meeting, viewing RR-1 as more restrictive than unzoned and therefore preferable for the agricultural area.
The applicant later asked to exclude one acre — a parcel that contains or is proposed to contain a shop for a plumbing business — from the rezoning. Lyons said the planning commission’s original recommendation covered the whole parcel and that the applicant’s requested exclusion arrived after the commission’s recommendation.
Commissioner Perry moved to send ordinance 630 (rezoning in the Tremonton area from unzoned to RR-1) back to the planning commission so the planning commission could consider the requested exclusion and provide a clean recommendation. Commissioner Vinson seconded; the motion passed on a voice vote.
Why it matters: staff and the planning commission view moving unzoned land to RR-1 as a step toward clearer land-use rules for an area that contains both agricultural uses and some rural residential frontage. Commissioners expressed a desire that the planning commission resolve the exclusion request so the county commission can act on a complete package.
Next steps: The planning commission will reconsider the map amendment, with the applicant’s requested one-acre exclusion in mind, and return a revised recommendation to the county commission.
