17.32.020 - Additional information from table.

A.

The numbers below correspond to the subscript in the table in Section 17.32.010 of this chapter.

1.

Lot width shall be measured at the front setback. Where sufficient property is reasonably available the required lot width shall be maintained throughout the lot.

2.

Height is measured from the finished building grade to the highest point of the roof surface. Any structure that is within the Vernal Airport zone A, B or C must follow the Uintah County Airport Area Regulations, Chapter 17.20 of this title and the current airport layout plan. Exceptions to the maximum height requirements may be granted by planning commission. The planning commission will take into account considerations such as safety, aesthetics, views, shadows, and other impacts to neighboring properties.

3.

When located adjacent to an existing dwelling, the minimum setback shall be ten feet. Structures over thirty-five (35) feet shall be set back an additional one foot for each one foot of height above thirty-five (35) feet.

4.

Lesser setbacks may be approved as part of a manufactured home subdivision or manufactured home park.

5.

All buildings, structures, and industrial uses shall be set back at least thirty (30) feet from the right-of-way line of any public street and from all other zone boundaries.

6.

Accessory buildings located entirely behind the main building may apply a lesser setback of 3' from the property line.

7.

When there are existing dwellings, within 150' of the proposed dwelling, on the same side of the road and on both sides of the proposed dwelling, the proposed dwelling's front yard setback may conform to the established building line of the existing dwellings.

8.

Single family dwellings in the C-1 and C-2 Zones must meet area, width and setback requirements for the R-3 Zone.

9.

When a lot is located in an approved subdivision, the setback from a Major Collector or state Highway may be adjusted to the setback that was in place at the time the subdivision was approved.

10.

Attached means twin-home.

17.32.030 - Adjusted requirements.

A.

Area, width and setback requirements may be adjusted in all zones when part of an approved subdivision, as outlined in Title 16.

B.

Upon approval from the Zoning Administrator, government owned properties and public utilities may be exempt from minimum lot size requirements. This includes, but is not limited to properties that will be used for: parks, trails, camps, gathering spaces, utilities, rights-of-way, or other government owned infrastructure. The lot must be government owned or under utility company ownership. A deed restriction must be placed on the property stating that the property will not be used for any purpose other than that for which it was created unless the property undergoes current subdivision and zoning regulations and returns to private ownership.
