County moves to publish notice of intent for zoning-definition updates
Summary
Sweetwater County planning staff proposed clarifying amendments to dwelling-unit definitions, accessory units, parking and setbacks to align with neighboring cities; commissioners approved a notice of intent to begin the public hearing process.
Land use director Eric Bingham presented proposed amendments to the county's 2015 zoning resolution aimed at consolidating and clarifying definitions for dwelling-unit types, accessory dwelling units, parking regulations and setback charts to better match nearby municipal codes.
Bingham said the revisions mainly provide clarity for single-family attached and detached units, two-family dwellings and accessory units and noted the county is allowing smaller lots (8,000 sq ft divided into 4,000 sq ft lots). "These changes are to make it more cohesive and match what City of Green River and Rock Springs do as far as definitions," Bingham said. The board approved a notice of intent to initiate the public hearing process and authorized the chair to sign.
