At its June 3 meeting the Emery County Commission approved the consent agenda, a $1,000 donation for Emery High School student leaders, a free-swim day for the county fair, the 2025 tax-sale proceedings, a conditional-use permit for a scrap-yard with conditions, and a policy restricting CUPs on nonconforming lots while directing staff to draft commercial zoning.
The Emery County Commission recorded the following formal actions at the June 3, 2025 meeting:
- Consent agenda: Approved (Warwood: Aye; Leonard: Aye; Jensen: Aye).
- $1,000 donation to Emery High School Student Council to send 23 student leaders to the Trailblazer Leadership Conference in St. George: Motion made and seconded; recorded ayes (Orwig: Aye; Leonard: Aye; Jensen: Aye). Commissioners requested some students report back after the conference.
- Free swim day at the county fair (July 29, 2025): Approved (Warwood: Aye; Leonard: Aye; Jensen: Aye).
- 2025 tax-sale proceedings: Approved. County reported 18 bidders and four properties sold; records to be completed so deeds can be recorded.
- Conditional-use permit recommendation for Derek Beagley (scrap-metal/wrecking yard south of Emery): Planning & Zoning recommended approval with conditions (limits on long-term storage, controls on hazardous materials and soil protection); the commission approved the recommendation (Ayes recorded).
- Policy motion: Commission voted that nonconforming lots (lots smaller than the county’s conforming threshold) will not be eligible for conditional-use permits going forward and directed staff to draft a commercial zoning ordinance to clarify where small-lot businesses may locate. Motion carried with recorded ayes.
These votes were recorded on the meeting record and reflected the commission’s desire for clearer, consistent permitting and policy guidance for applicants and staff.
