Council approves small zone change to allow farm structure on Condi parcel
Summary
Springville City Council approved a zone map amendment to change a small parcel from R110 to R115, allowing an agricultural structure (barn) without requiring a primary residence; the planning commission unanimously recommended approval.
Staff presented an application to amend the official zoning map for a small parcel (partial ID 2303200096) in the West Fields from R110 (single-family residential) to R115 (single-family residential). The applicant, the Condi family, requested the change so they could build an agricultural structure (barn) on the parcel without locating a primary dwelling there; staff explained that R115 permits agricultural structures as a primary use while R110 does not.
Staff told the council the planning commission held a public hearing on May 12 and forwarded a unanimous recommendation for approval. Council members asked clarifying questions about nonconforming uses and whether other parcels would be affected; staff explained nonconforming agricultural uses do not automatically grant rights to build new agricultural structures in R110, which is why the rezoning is required.
A council member moved to approve the ordinance to change the parcel’s zone from R110 to R115. The motion passed on a roll-call vote with recorded "yes" votes from Jake, Logan, Mike and Karen.
What’s next: The ordinance will be codified according to standard municipal procedures and allows the Condi family to proceed with plans to construct the agricultural structure consistent with R115 standards. No appeals or challenges were recorded in the meeting record.
