Midvale updates setback exceptions to align with state law H.B. 476
Summary
Council adopted ORDINANCE NO. 2026-O-15 to modify multiple Title 17 sections to reflect H.B. 476 and related building-code clarifications, aligning municipal setbacks with updated state code language.
Staff presented a text amendment modifying multiple sections of Title 17 to bring Midvale code into conformance with legislative changes enacted in H.B. 476 (2024). Jonathan Anderson explained the amendments clarify how "allowable features" may be sited within residential rear setbacks per UCA 10-9a-540 (renumbered to 10-20-623 on 11/6/2025) and clarify applicability of the International Residential and Building Codes for window wells and setbacks.
The Council opened and closed public comment with no speakers and approved ORDINANCE NO. 2026-O-15 unanimously, adopting the proposed language as presented in staff attachments. Staff said the amendments both conform local code to state law and improve clarity for future interpretation of setbacks and related building-code requirements.
