Commission and planning staff continue review of zoning table changes; no final vote
Summary
Planning staff presented proposed edits to land-use tables, including wind-energy classifications and agricultural sales; commissioners debated blank cells versus permitted/conditional notations, recommended marking 'NP' for not-permitted uses, and agreed to review edits offline or in a joint work session before returning for action.
Daggett County planning and zoning staff (Chad Reed and Carrie Polson) presented proposed revisions to the county land-use table, and commissioners discussed several substantive points without taking a final vote.
Staff walked through color-coded edits and noted 12 lines had changes. Commissioners focused on how the table signals permitted versus conditional uses: the key and the second page state that a blank cell means the use is not allowed, a "P" means permitted, and a "C" means conditional. Commissioners expressed concern that blank cells might be misinterpreted by the public as permitted uses and suggested explicitly marking disallowed uses with "NP" (not permitted) in the chart for clarity.
The commission and staff debated specific uses, including wind-energy system classifications (major/minor), and agricultural uses such as farms raising poultry for wholesale/retail sales. Commissioners discussed preserving the ability to impose reasonable, non-arbitrary conditions on conditional-use permits, while avoiding capricious requirements.
Commissioners agreed to review the redlined edits individually and requested staff return the item for additional review or a joint work session with the planning advisory board if needed. No formal vote was taken on the land-use table changes during this meeting.
