Property owner proposes 12‑space short‑term RV campground; commission flags sewer and fire review
Loading...
Summary
An applicant proposed a 12‑space, short‑term RV campground with access to State Highway 89 and said an application is filed with UDOT; commissioners and staff raised sewer hookup and fire department concerns and noted conditional‑use review would apply.
A property owner described plans to convert a vacant piece of land east of the property into a 12‑space short‑term RV campground with minimal grading, gravel parking pads, marked stalls and a small check‑in office. "There's an access connected directly to State Highway 89, which I've already reached out to UDOT," the applicant said, and noted a March 10 meeting with the agency to discuss access.
The applicant said spaces would be short‑term only (not long‑term), would use compacted gravel surfacing, allow back‑in parking maneuvers, and include some landscaping as water availability allows. He presented a diagram and described turnaround dimensions intended to accommodate large RVs (the speaker said the largest units are about 35 feet long and approximately 8 feet wide).
Commission members and staff raised operational and infrastructure concerns, including whether existing sewer connections would support the campground and comments from the fire department identified in the staff packet. Staff said if campgrounds are added as a use, the commission could adopt specific operational standards and conditional‑use review criteria to mitigate impacts; those standards would apply going forward but might not retroactively change an individual approval.
The commission did not approve the campground during the meeting. Staff advised continued technical review (fire, sewer, engineering) and a conditional‑use or permit process to address the flagged concerns.
