Brian Head council creates Aspen Meadows Mountain Zone, updates land-use maps
Summary
The Town Council voted unanimously to convert the Aspen Meadows overlay into a standalone Aspen Meadows Mountain Zone and amended the General Plan and Zone District Map to match; councilors said the change transfers certain rezoning responsibilities to staff and corrects a mapping artifact before final exhibits.
The Brian Head Town Council on April 28 adopted a trio of measures establishing the Aspen Meadows Mountain Zone and updating related land‑use maps.
Planning & Building Administrator Greg Sant presented the package, saying the ordinance converts the existing Aspen Meadows overlay into its own standalone zone in Land Management Code Chapter 7.13 and that the Planning Commission recommended approval. Council Member Martin Tidwell said the practical effect would be to reduce the Council’s rezoning burden by placing more responsibility on staff to ensure development aligns with the existing development agreement. Sant noted a color error on the draft zone map would be corrected in the final professional exhibit.
The action included three related ordinances: adoption of ordinance No. 26‑004 (LMC Chapter 7.13, Aspen Meadows Mountain Zone), ordinance No. 26‑005 (General Plan Land Use Map amendment changing the area from Annex Transition to Aspen Meadows Mountain Zone) and ordinance No. 26‑006 (Zone District Map amendment matching the new zone). Each ordinance passed unanimously, 5‑0. The Council recorded the votes as Mayor Clayton Calloway and Council Members Martin Tidwell, Duane Nyen, Logan Cruz and Larry Freeberg voting yes.
Why it matters: the package establishes a distinct regulatory framework for Aspen Meadows, allowing staff to administer certain development‑alignment reviews under the new zone and reducing the need for Council‑level rezoning decisions. The map correction flagged by staff will be fixed before final publication of exhibits.
What’s next: staff will publish the corrected exhibits and proceed under the new zone’s review standards; the Planning Commission will handle implementation details where applicable.
