Draft development agreement would rezone Powder Landing to Recreation zone, limit events and require stormwater and septic controls
Summary
The draft ordinance and Development Agreement for Powder Landing would rezone the 2.403-acre site to Recreation (RC) and impose conditions including 30 on-site parking stalls, 5 special events per year (>30 people), Dark Sky lighting, shuttle drop-off zones on 1st Street only, and stormwater retention to prevent discharge to Pineview Reservoir.
HUNTSVILLE — Attachment #1 to the June 18 work session contains a draft ordinance (No. 2026.4.23) and a detailed Development Agreement between Huntsville Town and Powder Beach LLC for the Powder Landing site.
The draft would change the property's zoning designation to Recreation (RC) and contains explicit operational and infrastructure requirements: on-site parking is limited to thirty (30) designated stalls; once the lot reaches capacity, guests must arrive by the club's shuttle using two dedicated drop-off/pick-up zones on 1st Street; lighting must be 'fully shielded' and comply with the Town’s Dark Sky principles; pool lighting must be timer-controlled to eliminate overnight illumination; stormwater must be retained and prevented from discharging directly into Pineview Reservoir; and wastewater must comply with Weber‑Morgan District Health Department rules. The agreement also caps 'special events' at five (5) per year and defines special events as gatherings involving more than thirty (30) people. The DA language would be recorded with the county and run with the land unless terminated or abandoned by a year of non‑use.
The text cites Utah Code provisions that authorize development agreements and municipal land‑use controls and states the Planning Commission recommended the rezoning before the Council. The DA includes an assignability clause, force majeure, and an explicit severability section. If adopted, the DA would allow the town to enforce time‑of‑day, parking and event limits that residents say are not enforceable under the existing R‑1 Use Table.
