Commission backs rezoning of 10‑acre parcel to allow small campsite and RV uses
Loading...
Summary
The commission recommended rezoning a roughly 10‑acre parcel from Commercial 1 to Commercial 2, enabling a future conditional‑use permit for dry camping and RV spaces; commissioners required feasibility letters and noted UDOT and health‑department reviews will be necessary.
The Kane County Planning and Zoning Commission on April 8 voted to recommend approval of a zone change (Ord. 2026‑11) to reclassify a roughly 10‑acre parcel from Commercial 1 to Commercial 2 to allow, among other things, an RV/campsite use that is not permitted in C1 zoning.
The applicant told the commission he had purchased the property thinking it was residential and described plans for a small campsite with about 10 spots and some overnight RV or dry‑camping sites. He said he already holds a building permit for a small office and carport, but that full campsite operations would require C2 zoning and a future CUP.
Shannon explained that RV parks are not allowed in C1 zoning and that the applicant would need feasibility letters for water and other utilities and a UDOT entrance feasibility if traffic or driveway improvements are required. When commissioners opened the public hearing, no members of the public stepped forward.
Commissioner (S5) moved to recommend approval to the County Commission, "based on the facts and findings that [are] documented in the staff report," and a seconded motion carried on an oral vote. The commission’s recommendation will be considered by the Kane County Commission; the applicant must secure required feasibility letters and a CUP before full campsite operations may commence.
Officials noted neighboring uses include commercial properties and a gravel pit, and that existing conditional‑use permits in the area predate the current ordinance.
Next steps: applicant to obtain feasibility letters (health, water, UDOT if needed) and, if successful, apply for a CUP to establish campsite/RV operations.
