Planning commission backs rezoning for year-round glamping cabins on three parcels
Loading...
Summary
The Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously recommended that Kane County Commissioners rezone three parcels near Kanab from AG-FAA to RU-10 to permit low-density, year-round glamping and cabin sites, after applicants described existing utilities and limited on-site development plans.
Vice-Chairman Matt Cox presided as the Kane County Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously recommended rezoning three parcels (258-4, 258-5 and 258-7) from Agriculture FAA (AG-FAA) to Rural Ten (RU-10) to allow low-density year-round lodging.
Applicant Jeremy Hardman presented the application, describing family ownership, four existing cabins, municipal water, electricity and fire hydrants on site, and what he characterized as safe highway access. He said the proposal anticipates phased growth, with unit counts constrained by topography, and mentioned a potential small on-site restaurant.
Shannon McBride, the county’s Land Use Administrator, provided context on the parcel’s rural unimproved subdivision classification and confirmed existing infrastructure elements the applicants cited. Vice-Chairman Matt Cox opened and closed the public hearing with no public comment recorded.
After discussion, Commissioner Doug Heaton moved and Mason Haycock seconded a motion to recommend RU-10 zoning to the Kane County Commissioners; the motion passed unanimously. The commission’s recommendation advances the request to the County Commissioners for final action under Ordinance 2026-02.
The Planning & Zoning Commission record notes parcel acreages of 10.78, 11.27 and 11.17 and lists intended use as year-round glamping/cabin sites; specifics such as final unit counts and any required engineering or development agreement will be determined in subsequent review by county staff and the County Commissioners.
