Garden City Planning & Zoning Report

GARDEN CITY, Utah.  November 13, 2014.  The Planning and Zoning Committee sent several ordinances and ordinance changes to the City Council for their approval.  The first was a new definition for the term “Gross Leasable Area.”  The Council  passed this change.

The next ordinance was written to create a hotel/motel zone within Garden City town limits.  There were actually four small areas that they determined would work well.  The Council felt Planning and Zoning and done a good job of locating some good locations and accepted the new zoning ordinance.

There was an ordinance written that incorporated changes that all subdivisions must be fully surveyed prior to approval.    This ordinance still allows developers to build in phases, but everyone will be aware of the actual size of the overall project. The ordinance was accepted.

The last ordinance for consideration would allow homes to be built in all commercial areas.  After a discussion concerning this item, the Council felt that some additional information was needed prior to passing this item, and asked that Darrin Pugmire get some additional information from Planning and Zoning.

Because there was a new zone created, approval was also given that the maps be updated to show the hotel/motel zones that have been made.
