Council designates city‑owned sites for campaign signs, excludes one park area pending UDOT review
Summary
Hurricane’s council approved Resolution 2026‑22 listing city‑controlled parcels where political campaign signs may be displayed; the council excluded Dixie Springs Park from the list and noted UDOT‑controlled sites are pending permission.
The Hurricane City Council adopted a resolution identifying specific city‑owned or controlled locations where political campaign signs may be displayed during election periods, while explicitly excluding one park area shown in staff materials.
Planning staff explained the resolution implements a provision of the new sign ordinance by listing city parcels where content‑neutral placement of campaign signage will be permitted; staff noted they had not yet heard back from Utah Department of Transportation about including UDOT‑controlled rights‑of‑way. Fred pointed out that, until UDOT grants permission, the list covers only city‑controlled property.
Councilman Ellerman moved to approve Resolution 2026‑22 with the packet locations except for the Dixie Springs Park site; the motion was seconded and passed on roll call. Council members discussed the possibility of updating the resolution in future cycles to add or remove sites, and staff said the resolution can be readily amended before future elections.
What happens next: Staff will publish the adopted list of city‑controlled sign locations and will return with updates if UDOT or other landowners grant permission for additional sites.
