Kanab council approves rezoning of Stansfield Drive parcel for single‑family lots
Summary
Council rezoned parcel K-18-27-Annex (approx. 1400 Stansfield Drive) from RA to R-1-20 after Planning Commission recommendation; applicant Tyler Heely said most lots are septic-feasible though two may require advanced systems and proposed drainage ponds and a trail connection.
KANAB, Utah — The Kanab City Council voted April 14 to rezone parcel K-18-27-Annex (approximately 1400 Stansfield Drive) from RA (Residential Agriculture) to R-1-20 (single-family, 20,000 sq. ft.). The rezoning was recommended by the Planning Commission and approved by the council based on staff findings and conditions in Staff Report ZONE 26-005.
Applicant agent Tyler Heely told the council that preliminary soil tests indicate septic systems appear feasible for most lots but that two lots may require advanced septic systems because of clay or bedrock conditions. Heely also addressed fire-protection water-pressure concerns, saying that appropriate pipe sizing could likely meet state requirements for most lots without requiring individual pumps. To manage drainage, he proposed ponds and easements; he also offered community improvements, including resurfacing the city access road and creating a formal trail to the Bunting trailhead to keep hikers out of the wash.
Council clarified that sewer installation would not be required if the subdivision remains under 10 lots. Councilmember Heaton moved to approve the rezoning and adopt Ordinance 4-1-26 O; Councilmember Corry seconded. The motion passed (Shrope: Yes; Heaton: Yes; Corry: Yes; Banks: Yes; Chamberlain: Absent).
The approval allows the property to be developed under R-1-20 frontage and lot-size standards; specific subdivision and infrastructure requirements will be addressed during final-plat review and through conditions included in the staff report.
