Board approves special exception for accessory apartment on 8.9‑acre parcel
Summary
The board granted a special exception allowing an accessory apartment and accessory structure for Cody and Nicole Newton on an 8.9‑acre agricultural parcel; staff said an oversized septic installed in 2018 already supports the additional unit and recommended standard occupancy and subdivision conditions.
Staff summarized application CCDash2026Dash0000495 for Cody and Nicole Newton requesting a special exception to build an accessory apartment in a detached accessory structure on roughly 8.9 acres off Lehi 300 North. Staff said the applicants installed an oversized septic in 2018 designed to support an accessory apartment, that parking and size standards appear met, and that standard special‑exception findings were satisfied.
The petitioners confirmed they planned to continue residing in the primary dwelling; staff recommended approval with conditions: the owner must reside on the parcel in either the primary house or accessory apartment, and the apartment cannot be split into a separate lot without required subdivision review. The board moved and voted to approve per staff findings and instructed staff to coordinate permit follow-up.
