Ivins council reviews edits to moderate‑income housing plan, schedules public hearings
Summary
Planning Commission representative Mike Haycock and council discussed changes to the moderate‑income housing plan requested by the state, including clarifying ADU impact fees and aligning ordinance language with plan goals; council will consider the plan after upcoming public hearings.
Mike Haycock, speaking for the Planning Commission, updated the Ivins City Council on proposed edits to the city's moderate‑income housing plan on Dec. 5. He said the state has asked for more detail and clarity, and the planning commission scheduled a public hearing on the commission's side in two weeks followed by the council hearing.
Haycock said the most significant changes include additional time allowances for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and edits to ordinance chapters 11 and 12, along with a revised land‑use plan date. He described the current transmission to the state and the commission’s effort to provide more detail where the state requested it.
Councilmember Sharon Gillespie said she and Haycock rewrote ordinance language to align the ordinance with the plan’s terminology and the state’s goal-oriented format, noting the city had been using a list of goals and was adjusting verbiage so the ordinance and the moderate‑income housing plan read consistently. She said that once these edits are approved, staff and commission members will finalize the report for submission.
Haycock and Gillespie said the city expects to receive public comment at the scheduled hearings and will return to the council for a final vote after that input and the commission’s recommendation.
