Commission reviews conditional-use permit and ADU questions; staff to follow up on missing records
Summary
The planning commission reviewed a 2023 conditional use permit for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) at 110 South 200 West and discussed whether the CUP remains necessary under the new ADU ordinance; staff said records for several older conditional uses could not be found and commissioners agreed to follow up rather than pursue immediate revocations.
At the Aug. 21, 2025, Willard City Planning Commission meeting, members reviewed a conditional use permit (CUP) issued May 18, 2023, to Brian Gilbert for a detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) at 110 South 200 West (parcel references cited in the transcript). Speaker 2 introduced the item and said the applicant was not present.
Commissioners noted that the city's ADU ordinance now permits ADUs in all zones, and questioned whether the prior CUP remains necessary. Speaker 7 asked whether the commission should revoke the CUP; staff and several commissioners said they lacked documentation proving earlier CUP approvals for some existing uses and preferred to follow up with owners rather than immediately revoke authorizations. Speaker 7 emphasized the review was not intended to "shut anyone down." Staff committed to searching records and asking property owners for copies of any previously issued CUPs.
On the Brian Gilbert permit, commissioners indicated they would not take immediate revocation action at the meeting; instead, staff will verify whether the CUP is obsolete under the ADU ordinance or whether a formal revocation or notice is needed. The commission also discussed other long-standing uses that may lack clear permitting records and agreed to address them case-by-case.
What happens next: staff will research historical records for listed CUPs, contact property owners for documentation, and return with recommendations or draft revocation language if necessary.
