Councilmember Michelle Tanner moved to approve the code amendment; Natalie Larson seconded. The council approved the ordinance by unanimous roll-call vote: Steve Kemp, Michelle Tanner, Danielle Larkin, Jimmy Hughes and Natalie Larson voting aye.

Staff said the item had been discussed previously in a work session and the ordinance formalizes the temporary restriction as a permanent code provision for SR 7.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","St. George City Council March 20, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Ordinance 2025-022 amends Title 9-13-4 of the city code to prohibit off‑premise signs along State Route 7 (Southern Parkway); council adopted the change unanimously.","taxTitle","St. George City Council, St. George, Washington County, Utah","taxId",20193,"location","Utah","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6116939,"Council amends Atkinville area plan to allow Encompass Health inpatient rehab facility",361,1787000,2148000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2731354-44a1397c81535514f309a05774488e66&start=1787&end=2148","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2731354-44a1397c81535514f309a05774488e66/thumbnail_1787000.jpg","/articles/6116939/Utah/Council-amends-Atkinville-area-plan-to-allow-Encompass-Health-inpatient-rehab-facility","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6116939-6d21fd5676e95537a28dc1cfa5b1b447/orig.mp4?Expires=1770732278&Signature=lSuN5thR2vCM~zQHHhefu14QNG7uScvWOh0y6htpoGPC2Y9uCjCsIyOLgyJi6PAN80i1J-uE0g6009F2g0ZAMxc96Lnsr1LwTSpCH5z-R9Oz~iPjoEKfezvstPvRnHc3qy5e~93Wyy0gaa-92IV6OzSfA8wr8YEApQrrMEeFNZA2lZU2qW6rLlzi65CcqQmrfpdt2aP9U2lpA571DdGdKn2fvWtfvCzfxuTQvxbT~fJDQ0FvaRByG~-DERYBlj7CAfTgNV1fnEFxy~phZKnj-SKV3Xc2tLBHwHLkAsnsG0EyYJhH7U-H4njdgzh-6Jy~ddiJAPQTzbfNj45GUIkACQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The St. George City Council adopted ordinance 2025-021 to amend the Atkinville interchange area plan PD, clearing the way for an Encompass Health inpatient rehabilitation hospital on approximately 5.91 acres north of Pioneer Road and south of Sandpiper Drive.

City planning staff described the proposed building as a single‑story facility of about 56,000 square feet with a phase‑one capacity of 50 inpatient beds and potential expansion to 60 beds. Typical building height was described at about 17.5 feet with rooftop equipment screening up to a maximum of 25 feet. Staff also noted changes to the site plan that removed parking near the principal entrance and increased landscaping (about 37.3% of the site), and that the planning commission received letters of support and neighbor questions about the use and a wall along Sandpiper.

A council member asked whether garbage pickup and deliveries would be consistent with other neighborhood projects; staff confirmed pickup times and service conditions were included in the planning conditions. Staff also noted adding \"medical hospital\" to the list of approved uses in the Atkinville plan as part of the amendment.

A motion to adopt the ordinance with staff and planning commission recommendations was made and seconded; the council voted unanimously (aye votes by Steve Kemp, Michelle Tanner, Danielle Larkin, Jimmy Hughes and Natalie Larson) to approve ordinance 2025-021.

With the amendment approved, project approvals will proceed through standard site‑plan, building‑permit and any additional conditions required by planning staff.","Ordinance 2025-021 amends the Atkinville interchange area plan to permit a single‑story, 56,000-square‑foot inpatient rehabilitation hospital with 50 beds (expandable to 60) on roughly 5.91 acres; council adopted the ordinance with planning conditions.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6116944,"Council rezones 1.88 acres for 95-room Holiday Inn with conditional height and parking approvals",419,1367000,1786000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2731354-44a1397c81535514f309a05774488e66&start=1367&end=1786","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2731354-44a1397c81535514f309a05774488e66/thumbnail_1367000.jpg","/articles/6116944/Utah/Council-rezones-188-acres-for-95-room-Holiday-Inn-with-conditional-height-and-parking-approvals","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6116944-cfa13750e003f5f993cc3f60c4d3a80e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770732278&Signature=h2mhTO8Ocnkfsd5RGnr6MBiH~HJNgqsht-F-RgtaAOCBdJFe-age8rZ~Qx-M1kF0o8aBuALoe-9of1Lz0xHifpHS29iVY8MvJvu6dw1-ABcqHKRxLjx-Q21bfOKxAhgOABt0Zw2YQBlutxXHb9eHx~xNQgwrT~rxqty6YSM5jmkigvbu9G1VXI6W3myeHLwJPM8AjP6nqnSllRUol15HKFpzZrXSZPEd2zr1Tvqo4FYUIlOZUeO3EkDIyybvRpyfDy-~28SCR9M9i2B8j2k6oJox5kdFr8NEZYXDPyS3O7Ij~RawiKOLUPhNADhhWVmkW~IQBahhMTtr5yOsLJrUaA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The St. George City Council approved ordinance 2025-020 to rezone about 1.88 acres at the southwest corner of 1470 East and 170 South from C‑2 to Planned Development Commercial (PDC), allowing a proposed 95‑room Holiday Inn to exceed the standard height limit with conditions recommended by the planning commission.

Planning staff member Dan told the council the site is designated commercial on the land-use map and is currently zoned C‑2, which restricts building height. \"They are asking to go to a PD zone so that they can get that increase in height,\" Dan said, explaining the applicant seeks average building height up to about 67 feet 11 inches to the top coping and roughly 60 feet to the roof deck. The project includes a 95‑room hotel and associated parking; the code parking requirement was described as 97 stalls for the hotel (95 rooms plus two).

The applicants, represented by Kim and Logan, described site constraints that favor vertical development. Staff said the applicant obtained an agreement for 12 off‑site parking stalls from an adjacent property owner to help meet parking demand. The planning commission held a public hearing and recommended approval; staff report materials compared the proposed building height with nearby Courtyard Marriott elevations.

Councilmember Danielle Larkin moved to approve the rezoning ordinance subject to the planning commission conditions, including the increased height allowance and a cross‑access parking agreement; Michelle Tanner seconded. The council adopted the ordinance by unanimous roll-call vote: Steve Kemp, Michelle Tanner, Danielle Larkin, Jimmy Hughes and Natalie Larson voting aye.

The ordinance permits the Holiday Inn project to proceed under the PDC standards and the conditions recorded in the planning commission recommendation; the applicant will return with specific site‑plan and building permit applications consistent with those conditions.","Ordinance 2025-020 rezones roughly 1.88 acres at 1470 East and 170 South from C-2 to PDC to allow a 95-room Holiday Inn with an approved increase in height and a cross-access parking agreement.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":92,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6116949,"St. George council approves $1.38 million in FY24-25 budget amendments funded by grants and donations",462,905000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2731354-44a1397c81535514f309a05774488e66&start=905&end=1367","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2731354-44a1397c81535514f309a05774488e66/thumbnail_905000.jpg","/articles/6116949/Utah/St-George-council-approves-138-million-in-FY24-25-budget-amendments-funded-by-grants-and-donations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6116949-22a60163b5f259f842706be8e2bd0750/orig.mp4?Expires=1770732278&Signature=QrOAxFNNGk8XxKinDf4O6f5vR9sW5w3zf9JFqrH~EdohatPiD0FjrmkUT-iAH~dzmVXCHEEb-0nXMPQqSi6WfyXJfUi2auySsFhC5B3o959GHRhnpjHCokU56UaneyBPLrM2Ce6n~w5JGKy1DMs0yG8733rZ18UDSuCRHKBsrBQDjRI0CsYLCNe4DDuyt5L5wGwfrxDSdf47QosbaQwxMqB2~P-ialHev3wCma5n0W1Ss~9rS56Sw-f~onkipawDCrqtFDYO62odWLaBYY15~-evCisnV4rzgMXVOpV07-pwIMjfziJXQkbwLfinSSqapNPoARkODzX6aJnddoMqZA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The St. George City Council voted unanimously to approve resolution 2025-007R amending the fiscal year 2024–25 budget to add seven items funded by grants or donations totaling $1,377,328.

The amendments — presented by staff member Robert — allocate specific outside funds to capital and equipment needs and do not raise local taxes. \"Good evening, mayor and council. Tonight's amendment includes separate, 7 separate items totaling a little over a million dollars,\" Robert said during his presentation.

The council approved the following additions to the 2024–25 budget:
- Police: $25,000 from the Utah Department of Public Safety to purchase six in-car video camera systems for DUI enforcement.
- Parks (Little Valley Pickleball Complex): $49,400 donation from Greater Zion to buy expanded, portable bleachers for larger tournaments.
- Regional trail counters: $147,928 from the Dixie MPO to buy 14 counters installed across multiple jurisdictions to help prioritize trail maintenance.
- Vernon Worthen Park gazebo replacement: $35,000 donation from the Exchange Club to fund replacement and related improvements.
- Santa Clara River floodway improvements (Sunbrook): $600,000 from the Washington County Flood Control Authority for vegetation removal, sediment removal and hardening.
- Virgin River channel stabilization near the Dixie Center: $440,000 from the Washington County Flood Control Authority to address erosion threatening nearby infrastructure.
- Power-line realignment over I‑15: $80,000 from a state grant to begin realigning overhead power lines for an upcoming I‑15 project.

Staff said the trail counters will provide usage data to help allocate maintenance funding, and the pickleball bleachers are portable and can be moved for other events. Councilmember questions included whether the new bleachers were fixed or portable; parks staff member Cody said they are portable but large.

Councilmember Danielle Larkin made the motion to approve the amendments; Natalie Larson seconded. The roll-call vote was recorded as Steve Kemp, Michelle Tanner, Danielle Larkin, Jimmy Hughes and Natalie Larson voting aye; the motion carried unanimously.

Because the appropriations are funded by grants and donations, staff and at least one councilmember highlighted that the items reflect outside fundraising and interagency grants rather than new local revenue. The council opened and closed a public hearing on the amendments with no public comments before voting.","Council approved resolution 2025-007R to add seven grant- and donation-funded items to the fiscal year 2024–25 budget, covering police in-car cameras, pickleball bleachers, trail counters, park repairs, floodway work and power-line realignment.","actionData","errors"]
