Planning commission recommends code fix to make churches conditional uses in R-1-43 zone

Midway City Planning Commission · February 10, 2026

Summary

Staff identified a contradiction in the Midway Municipal Code that listed churches as both a permitted and conditional use in the R-1-43 zone; the planning commission recommended deleting the permitted-use language so churches remain conditional uses, and forwarded the recommendation to city council after a short public hearing with no speakers.

Midway planning staff told the commission they discovered a contradiction in the municipal code that listed churches both as a permitted use and as a conditional use in the R-1-43 residential-agricultural zone.

“So what we'd like to do is just erase one of the lines that said it says it's a permitted use and leave it as a conditional use, which is the same for all other zones in Midway,” Michael, planning staff, said. Staff recommended deleting the permitted-use line and renumbering subsequent sections for clarity.

The commission opened a public hearing; no members of the public participated in person or online, and the hearing was closed. A commissioner moved to amend section 16.12.0.02g to remove the internally contradictory language and to adopt the staff-proposed findings. The motion was seconded and approved by roll call/voice vote.

What’s next: Staff will prepare ordinance language and renumber affected code sections for presentation to the Midway City Council.
