Commissioners said they observed at least one semi-truck and other units that appeared to be long-term residents and noted prior noncompliance under previous ownership. The code cited during the meeting limits recreational-vehicle stays at a park to 90 days within a 365-day period unless an employer letter documents a longer temporary employment need; the code also allows up to 12 consecutive months by written employer request and renewal.

Staff told commissioners the current operator has made improvements and that conditional-use permits undergo regular review. Commissioners asked staff to request campground logs and to invite the campground manager or owner to the next meeting so the commission can confirm compliance with limits on long-term stays and the 25% cap on long-term spaces.

No enforcement action was taken at the meeting. The commission agreed to table formal action until requested records and any manager responses are provided.","mediaType","Audio","parentTitle","Planning Commission Meeting - PC 01-02-2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission asked staff to request logs and operational records ahead of its next review of a conditional-use permit for a local RV campground after concerns about long-term residents and on-site commercial vehicles.","taxTitle","Willard, Box Elder County, Utah","taxId",79998,"location","Utah","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":50,"_51":82,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":83,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":84,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6658739,"Planning commission debates MPZ standards, pushes for clearer upfront requirements for developers",740,1878000,2618000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3383074-6e5e779206b4c71be8cf6bc7f8d5f32b&start=1878&end=2618","/articles/6658739/Utah/Planning-commission-debates-MPZ-standards-pushes-for-clearer-upfront-requirements-for-developers","The Planning Commission continued a lengthy discussion about the Master Plan Community (MPZ) zone and whether the city should require more complete submittals and clearer thresholds before developers bring projects forward.

Commissioners said past applicants have repeatedly returned with incomplete or changing proposals and urged staff to require more detail up front, including engineering information, tree and landscaping plans, phasing plans and development agreements. One commissioner said applicants sometimes try to \"skip over\" the planning commission and rely on City Council to approve partial packages; commissioners said they want the planning commission to see complete documentation so it can do thorough due diligence.

Staff and commissioners discussed options including a formal application checklist on civic-review, convening a staff-and-commission work session to vet concept plans before formal submittal, and adding clearer sidebars to the MPZ ordinance that would set maximum densities, minimum lot sizes or open-space requirements to give staff objective yardsticks when screening proposals. Staff said putting those thresholds in the ordinance would allow staff to reject incomplete or out-of-bounds proposals without repeated rounds of holiday-era meetings.

Commissioners and staff also discussed how MPZ projects could count open space (for example, easements or perpetual agricultural conservation areas) and whether roads should be included in density calculations. Staff proposed developing application guidance, tightening MPZ language and launching civic-review application materials; commissioners asked staff to return to the commission with suggested ordinance edits and a proposed schedule for work sessions.

No final ordinance text was adopted at the meeting; commissioners instructed staff to draft clearer MPZ application requirements and to arrange a work session to resolve technical questions about density, open space and infrastructure expectations.","Commissioners urged tighter guidance and earlier submittal requirements for Master Plan Community (MPZ) applications after frustration with incomplete developer submissions; staff proposed work sessions and improved application forms.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":88,"_43":89,"_45":90,"_47":91,"_49":50,"_51":92,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":93,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":94,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6658744,"Commission discusses ending annual dog-license renewal; staff to encourage lifetime tags",245,626000,871000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3383074-6e5e779206b4c71be8cf6bc7f8d5f32b&start=626&end=871","/articles/6658744/Utah/Commission-discusses-ending-annual-dog-license-renewal-staff-to-encourage-lifetime-tags","Willard commissioners heard a summary of recent council discussion about changing the city's dog-license program and staff told the commission the council is considering eliminating the annual renewal requirement and instead encouraging lifetime licenses.

At the Dec. 5 meeting staff explained the city currently requires residents to present a rabies tag from a veterinarian before licensing a dog. The council is considering stopping manual annual renewals because the licensing workload takes staff time and likely operates at best at breakeven financially. \"We're not gonna make it an annual because right now, it's just big manual annual thing,\" a council presenter said. The staff recommendation is to encourage residents to obtain a lifetime license or to ensure pets carry an identification tag to help police locate owners for loose dogs.

Commissioners raised public-safety questions about verifying rabies vaccination without annual checks; staff said the city already requires a rabies tag for licensing and that many unlicensed dogs may not have any rabies tag. The presenter added the city's reported rabies incidents had been associated with bats rather than dogs.

No formal ordinance change was adopted by the commission; the council is expected to consider a redrafted dog ordinance that removes the annual licensing requirement and encourages lifetime registrations, with staff to return details to the council.","The commission heard a council report on proposed changes to Willard's dog-license program: eliminating annual renewal, encouraging lifetime licenses, and relying on rabies tags from veterinarians rather than annual city checks.",{"_33":96,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":97,"_41":98,"_43":99,"_45":100,"_47":101,"_49":50,"_51":102,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":103,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":104,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6658749,"City council report: Willard outlines water plan tied to subdivision ordinance",372,117000,489000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3383074-6e5e779206b4c71be8cf6bc7f8d5f32b&start=117&end=489","/articles/6658749/Utah/City-council-report-Willard-outlines-water-plan-tied-to-subdivision-ordinance","The Willard City Planning Commission heard a report from a city council member summarizing changes to the subdivision ordinance and a recently completed water plan designed to manage limited municipal water supplies.

The council member said the city hired a water expert to inventory city water rights and historic usage and that staff allocated existing supply to parks, current uses and future development within city limits. \"We're water limited,\" the council member said, explaining that the engineer's analysis showed an average current use of about 0.81 acre-feet (about 0.81 ERU) per home. The commission was told the ordinance allocates roughly one acre-foot per acre for new development but that developers who want higher density must bring additional water to the table.

The council member said the city cannot sell water rights and that new annexations will need to supply their own water; the existing city supply will be used only for parcels within current city limits. Commissioners asked whether the ordinance includes incentives for irrigation water owners to transfer secondary water rights to the city; staff and council discussion noted transfers are legally possible but depend on water-right law and other irrigation districts.

Commissioners heard that the city is pursuing property for a future secondary tank and already requires dry lines for secondary supply in subdivisions. Staff said developers have discussed coordination with Pine View and regional water conservancy districts, and that the economics of growth plus infrastructure investments are expected to influence future secondary systems.

No formal action was taken on the water plan at the meeting; commissioners asked staff to include clearer measurement language in future ordinance drafts and to brief the commission if and when property or infrastructure plans advance.","Commissioners heard a city council update describing a new water plan and subdivision ordinance changes that allocate existing city water for future development and require annexing areas to bring their own water.",{"_33":106,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":107,"_41":108,"_43":109,"_45":110,"_47":111,"_49":50,"_51":112,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":113,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":114,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6658753,"Planning commission sends ADU ordinance changes to city council after public hearing",869,825000,1694000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3383074-6e5e779206b4c71be8cf6bc7f8d5f32b&start=825&end=1694","/articles/6658753/Utah/Planning-commission-sends-ADU-ordinance-changes-to-city-council-after-public-hearing","The Willard City Planning Commission opened and closed a public hearing and voted to send proposed changes to the city's accessory dwelling unit (ADU) rules to the City Council, Commission members said during their Dec. 5 meeting.

Commissioners voted to forward an amendment to the Willard City zoning ordinance (chapter 12-1-10223-6) that would limit ADUs to no more than two stories or 25 feet in height and convert lot-size thresholds from acres to square footage. A motion to forward the draft with the changes passed unanimously.

The proposed ordinance text discussed at the hearing shows square-foot and height adjustments highlighted for review. Commission discussion focused on how to measure ADU height when the unit is attached to or built above an existing garage, whether ADUs should be capped by the height of the primary residence and how detached ADUs built on sloping lots could become taller than the primary structure. One commissioner said the city's building code already constrains most ADUs to two stories and noted potential view impacts on neighbors if taller structures were allowed.

Commissioners and staff also agreed to change references from acre measurements to square footage to avoid ambiguity for residents and to fix a number of typographical errors in the draft ordinance. During discussion members asked staff to clarify whether building envelopes for ADUs should be measured from existing grade or from the top of a primary structure when attached.

Commission staff advised that footprint limits for ADUs apply to living space only, not to garages, and that the city's building code sets separate story and height limits. Commissioners discussed allowing larger accessory buildings such as shops or pole barns while keeping living-area ADUs subject to the new height and story limits.

The commission recorded the motion to forward the draft, with the changes discussed, and asked staff to correct the measured-lot language and typos before sending the ordinance to the City Council for its consideration.

Commission action: motion to forward the ADU ordinance amendment (chapter 12-1-10223-6) with the proposed changes passed unanimously. No additional substantive amendments were adopted at the meeting.","Willard Planning Commission opened and closed a public hearing on accessory dwelling units and voted unanimously to send proposed ordinance changes — including a two-story or 25-foot height limit and moving lot thresholds from acres to square footage — to the City Council.","actionData","errors"]
