4 issues in zoning with high priority

The commission will consider changing a small residential property to light commercial use.
Zoning Amendment at 2617 S 3000 W
An applicant is asking to rezone a 5.6-acre property currently used for horses and storage from agricultural to residential. The change could clear the way for new housing development in the area.
Agricultural Zoning for Small Livestock Keeping
Property owner Michael Schampton requested a rezone from R-2 to A-1 so he can keep his pygmy goats. Neighbors supported the change, noting the goats help keep the grass down in an adjacent retention pond that the owner is responsible for maintaining.
Sign Regulations and Freeway Visibility
The Council considered allowing taller signs near freeway overpasses to accommodate visibility for commercial properties, incorporating dark backgrounds to minimize light pollution.
