Commission approves rezoning for gravel operation near Exit 12 with access restrictions
Summary
The commission approved Ordinance 657 to rezone about 861 acres near Exit 12 to MGEX (mining/quarry) with planning-commission conditions limiting truck access to Exit 12 and the interstate rather than smaller county roads.
County staff presented Ordinance 657, a request to rezone five parcels (about 861 acres) near Exit 12 on the way to Snowville from unzoned to MGEX (mining, quarry, sand and gravel excavation) to permit commercial gravel operations. Staff and the planning commission noted the property had historical gravel use tied to UDOT and the county and recommended approval with a condition that future conditional-use permitting limit access to Exit 12 and the interstate to avoid overloading smaller county roads.
Commissioner Perry moved to approve Ordinance 657 with the planning commission’s stipulations that the conditional-use permit restrict access to Exit 12 and the interstate; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote. Commissioners said the limitations should prevent use of smaller county roads for heavy truck traffic.
