Council amends Ordinance 34 to allow limited bow hunting at primary residence on 10‑acre parcels
Summary
After debate, the Pine Springs City Council amended Ordinance 34 to permit bow hunting at a primary residence on parcels of 10 acres or more; an earlier, broader motion to allow hunting on any 10‑acre property failed.
The Pine Springs City Council on April 8 adopted a targeted amendment to Ordinance 34 to permit bow hunting in the primary place of residence for property owners who own at least 10 acres.
Attorney Christina Benson presented a revised draft of Ordinance 34, which included a new section 9.2. Councilmember Kinney proposed a broader exception allowing residents with 10 acres to hunt on their property; that motion failed with Kinney and Adams voting yes and Kardashian and Lapos‑Kuchar voting no. The council then approved a narrower measure, seconded by Adams, that allows bow hunting at the primary residence when 10 acres are owned; the motion passed with all members present voting yes except Lapos‑Kuchar, who voted no.
The council also voted to publish a summary of Ordinance 34 and approved the corrected text after Attorney Benson reviewed the changes.
Why this matters: The revisions change how landowners may use their property for hunting and clarify permissible behavior for landowners who meet the acreage threshold.
What’s next: The ordinance summary will be published as approved; enforcement or implementation questions would follow any administrative rulemaking or complaints.
