Commission reviews ordinance 2026‑2 updates to align with state water factor and local naming
Summary
Commission reviewed and moved forward with housekeeping changes in ordinance 2026‑2 to match a state change from 0.5 to 0.45 acre‑feet, rename local gas references to Nephi City, update minimum service‑line and excavation depths to 24 inches, and replace the term 'hogs' with 'pigs'. Motion to accept changes was made; vote not transcribed.
At the start of its Feb. 4 meeting the Mona Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed Ordinance 2026‑2, a package of technical and clerical updates to the municipal code.
The Chair told the commission the state had reduced the residential water factor from 0.5 acre‑feet to 0.45 acre‑feet and staff had amended local code language to match that change. Other edits included replacing the word “hogs” with “pigs,” renaming references from “Mona gas” to “Nephi City,” and updating several minimum depths: service lines will now have a minimum depth of 24 inches and gas service lines a minimum of 36 inches. Staff also said it was unlawful for excavation with tools deeper than the new 24‑inch limit within gas‑line areas — the limit had been 18 inches previously and was changed at the request of Nephi City operations.
After asking for public comment and receiving none, the Chair asked for a motion to approve the draft ordinance and amendments. A motion and second were made on the draft in meeting discussion but the transcript does not capture a roll‑call tally. Staff indicated the changes are primarily clerical and required to keep local code consistent with state guidance and interagency naming conventions.
The commission proceeded to the next agenda item following the ordinance discussion.
