#0010-03 Amendment to table 17-5-3.3
(51):
Richard
explained that staff had recently reviewed the zoning ordinance and found some
inconsistencies with it in regard to title 9-4 of the
county code. Richard went on to explain that this amendment to the table it
will bring it in line with the county code. Richard then went over the changes
that were to be made to this table. Julie asked if the countys zoning
ordinance had to go along with the States. Richard explained that it does not,
that the state does not regulate the countys zoning ordinance. Julie stated
that sexually oriented business is very vague. Richard explained that it is
defined very well in the county code.

against any. Richard then went over the changes that would be made with this amendment. Dwight asked if this
amendment would pertain to all signs in the county
no matter where the sign is placed. Richard explained

business could protest this amendment. Richard explained that they could, but
probably wouldnt prevail because it is a county ordinance
and it applies to all signs in the county.

AMZ #0014-03 Chapter 26 amendment to
application and procedures and creation of a construction debris overlay zone
(CDO) and a municipal solid waste zone (MSW):
Richard
explained that this would be a total rewrite of chapter 26 of the zoning ordinance.
Richard also explained to the commission that this amendment would not have
much affect on the Erda area. Richard also explained that the county had recently
put into place a municipal solid waste corridor in the west desert. Richard explained
that before the way the zoning ordinance had been worded anyone could have come
in and placed a landfill in an MU-40 zone. Richard then went over the changes
that were to be made to this chapter. Richard also explained that this would
create two new zones CDO and MSW. Richard then went over the procedures that
the applicant must follow to apply for a waste facility in the county. Julie asked
if there was a list of types of wastes that are contaminated.
Richard explained that they were listed in the state
code. Richard explained that because the applicant has to get a conditional use
permit to create one of these types of landfills, we can
control the waste much better. Julie asked that after a landfill is not used anymore does the owner have to make it look nice.
Richard explained that they have to. Dwight asked if someone other than a Tooele
contractor could dump in Tooele County. Richard explained that the applicant
would have to show a need for the landfill in Tooele. Lorri asked if we could have someone from the
county at the landfills to make sure that they can watch what is dumped there. Richard explained that would be very
expensive and we dont have the resources to observe
each load. Charlie Warr asked if there is any bonding
for these facilities in the application requirements. Richard explained that
there was and he would go over the requirements. Richard also explained what
else would be allowed in the CDO zone and the MSW
zone.
Dwight
made a motion to move AMZ #0014-03 Chapter 26 amendment to application and procedures
and creation of a construction debris overlay zone (CDO) and municipal solid waste
zone (MSW) to the next business meeting.
