Commission approves Ordinance #657 rezoning 861 acres to MG‑EX for quarry operation near Snowville
Summary
The commission adopted Ordinance #657 to rezone about 861.23 acres near Snowville from unzoned to MG‑EX (mining/quarry), with the Planning Commission's condition that future conditional‑use permitting limit access to I‑84/Exit 12 rather than a smaller county road; adoption was unanimous.
Community Development Director Scott Lyons presented Ordinance #657, which rezones approximately 861.23 acres near Exit 12 by Snowville from unzoned to MG‑EX (Mining, Quarry, Sand & Gravel Excavation Zone) to allow a gravel operation. Lyons said surrounding parcels are primarily agricultural and unzoned; the Planning Commission reviewed the request in a public hearing and recommended approval with a stipulation limiting future access to I‑84/Exit 12.
Commissioner Lee Perry moved to approve Ordinance #657 with the Planning Commission's stipulations; Commissioner Bingham seconded and the board adopted the ordinance on a unanimous roll‑call vote. The ordinance becomes effective 15 days after passage per statutory notice requirements.
