Kane County adopts land-use updates: planning commission attendance, 'Lehi housing' and amended-plat language
Summary
The commission unanimously adopted Ordinances 2025-8 (planning commission attendance), 2025-9 (definition for 'Lehi housing' and short-term rental limits in multi-residential zones) and 2025-10 (amended-plat/definitions aligned to state code).
The Kane County Commission on April 22 unanimously adopted three land-use ordinances proposed by planning staff.
Ordinance 2025-8 formalizes a planning-and-zoning decorum/attendance rule that allows more than two unexcused absences during a 12-month period to be grounds for removal from the planning commission. Planning staff said the change is intended to protect quorum availability for applicants and the regular conduct of hearings.
Ordinance 2025-9 adds a new definition for ‘‘Lehi housing’’ (multi-family residential buildings with two to eight units built as a single dwelling) in the multi-residential zone and includes a provision that short-term rentals are not permitted in multi-residential units, intended to preserve the inventory for long-term rentals and moderate-income housing.
Ordinance 2025-10 updates language in chapter 21 related to amended plats and boundary adjustments to align county procedures with recent state code changes; staff described it as largely housekeeping to match state terminology and procedural requirements.
All three ordinances passed by unanimous voice vote.
