(Please note: As of February 22, 2022 Kane County will no longer accept new lots designated with the R-½ Zone. The R-½ remains in this chapter for administrative purposes only.)

For the purpose of this title, the following zones are created as necessary to regulate the development of the land in Kane County, Utah:

 

(Ord. 2013-5, 8-12-2013, eff. 8-27-2013; amd. Ord. 2014-6, 4-28-2014, eff. 5-13-2014; Ord. O-2020-14, 6-23-2020; Ord. O-2022-06, 3-22-2022; Ord. O-2022-45, 7-26-2022)

The boundaries of each of the said zones are hereby established as herein described, as shown on the map entitled "zoning map of Kane County, Utah", which map is attached to the ordinance codified herein and all boundaries, notations and other data shown thereon are made by this reference as much a part of this title as if fully described and detailed herein. (Ord. 2013-5, 8-12-2013, eff. 8-27-2013)

The land use ordinance and map shall be held in custody by the land use authority administrator and may be examined by the public during normal business hours or at other times by special arrangement. (Ord. 2013-5, 8-12-2013, eff. 8-27-2013)

Where uncertainty exists as to the boundary of any zone, the following rules shall apply:

   A.   Whenever the zone boundary is indicated as being approximately upon the center of a street, alley or block or along a property line, then unless otherwise definitely indicated on the map the centerline of such street, alley or block or such property line, shall be deemed to be the boundary of such zone.

   B.   Whenever such boundary line of such zone is indicated as being approximately at the line of any river, irrigation canal or other waterway or railroad right of way, or public park or other public land or any section line, then in such case the center of such stream, canal or waterway or such railroad right of way or the boundary lines of such public land or such section line shall be deemed to be the boundary of such zone.

   C.   Where the application of the above rules does not clarify the zone boundary location, the appeal authority shall interpret the map. (Ord. 2013-5, 8-12-2013, eff. 8-27-2013)

   A.   An owner of land may submit an application for a zoning amendment or zone change in accordance with state law by submitting a completed application to the Land Use Administrator and by paying the respective fee.

   B.   Disapproval of a zoning amendment or zone change application shall prohibit the filing of another application for the same parcel of property, or any portion thereof, to the same zone classification, within one year of the date of the final disapproval of the application, unless the Land Use Administrator finds that there has been a substantial change in the circumstances or sufficient new evidence after the disapproval of the application to merit consideration of a second application within a one-year time period.

   C.   Notice will be given to property owners within five hundred feet (500') of any Zone Change request.
