Commissioners approve notice of intent to clarify zoning definitions
Summary
Sweetwater County planning staff won approval to file a notice of intent to amend definitions in the 2015 zoning resolution (section 15 and section 21) to correct an erroneous cross‑definition tied to '******** oriented businesses.' The action begins a formal amendment process where public comment and follow‑up are expected.
County planner Cassidy Brown told commissioners the proposed language amendment is procedural and intended to correct an erroneous definition in the 2015 zoning resolution that currently defines "establishment" as any business regulated specifically as "******** oriented businesses." Brown said staff seeks to strike that incorrect cross‑reference and otherwise leave the resolution intact.
The board opened the matter for a public hearing and then approved the notice of intent (Res. 26‑03‑PZ‑02) to begin the amendment process. Brown emphasized the action is a notice of intent rather than a final rule change; additional public engagement and a subsequent formal action will be required before a substantive amendment becomes effective.
Commissioners asked staff to proceed with standard review and public notification steps before bringing a final ordinance or resolution back to the board.
