Planning commission sets July 28 hearing on R-1-18 zoning permitted and conditional uses

The Enoch City Planning Commission voted to set a public hearing on July 28, 2026, to consider amendments to Enoch City Code 12.1400.1402–1403 governing permitted and conditional uses in the R-1-18 low-density residential zone. City Manager Ryan Robinson introduced the item, saying the R-1-18 zone "is the largest zone by land area in the city and therefore merits careful review." The motion to set the hearing was made by Commissioner Kyle Jones, seconded by Commissioner Bryce Poulson, and passed unanimously.

Commissioners and staff focused the discussion on preserving the zone's family-oriented purpose while clarifying potentially ambiguous language. Council Member Kimberlee Trower asked whether the provision for private-use solar systems should explicitly distinguish rooftop residential installations from commercial solar fields; commissioners agreed to clarify that the private-use wording is intended to cover systems serving the home. Staff also noted a typographical issue in the "basement home" definition and said substantive definition changes will be compiled for a separate public hearing. Robinson said minor spelling errors could be corrected administratively but that any substantive changes would follow the public hearing process.
