Star Valley Ranch council gives first reading to ordinance updating building code language
Summary
At its Aug. 13 meeting, the Star Valley Ranch Town Council approved the first reading of Ordinance 2024-11 to clean up Title XV (Land Usage Chapter 150 Buildings), clarifying certificate-of-occupancy language and noting a pending clarification of a proposed three-year permit period at second reading.
At the Aug. 13 Star Valley Ranch Town Council meeting, the council gave first reading to Ordinance 2024-11, which updates Title XV, Land Usage, Chapter 150 (Buildings), to simplify administrative language and include requirements for certificates of occupancy.
Councilman Rok presented the ordinance and moved for approval on first reading; Councilman Denney seconded and the motion was recorded as "all ayes." Mayor Buyers said the measure is a language cleanup to improve consistency and administrative handling and that the ordinance will clarify certificate-of-occupancy requirements. The mayor also said the council will clarify the intended three-year permit period at the second reading.
During discussion, Mrs. Willis asked why the authority was being moved from the planning and zoning body (P&Z) to the Town; Mayor Buyers replied the change is for consistency. Mr. Bitter asked about the purpose of the ordinance; Mayor Buyers reiterated the cleanup and administrative intent. Mr. Hansen asked why the permit period was being extended to three years; the transcript records the question but does not include an answer beyond the mayor's statement that the three-year period will be clarified at second reading.
The council did not adopt a final ordinance at this meeting; the item was approved for first reading and will return for a second reading where the council expects to clarify the permit-term language and other details.
Actions recorded at the meeting show Ordinance 2024-11 advanced on first reading (moved by Councilman Rok; seconded by Councilman Denney). The meeting record lists the vote as "all ayes" without an itemized roll-call in the transcript.
