SUMMARY OF TERMS OF PROPOSED SPRING CITY ORDINANCE 2026-06
May 12, 2026
Ordinance 2026-06 proposes to repeal Spring City Ordinances 2026-03 and 2025-05 with amendments to Title 10 and Title 11. A draft of the proposed changes can be found on the city website as Ordinance 2026-06. A public hearing regarding the proposed Municipal Code changes is scheduled to be held on May 27, 2026, starting at 5:30 PM with the Planning and Zoning meeting to follow the hearing.
If you are unable to attend the public hearing, Spring City Planning and Zoning welcomes any written comments that can be delivered to or mailed to Spring City Hall at 45 South 100 East, P.O. Box 189, Spring City, Utah 84662 during regular posted business hours or emailed to treasurer@springcityutah.gov.
Pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act, individuals needing special accommodations during this meeting should notify Spring City at (435-) 462-2244 at least 24 hours prior to the meeting.
A summary of the proposed changes is as follows:
1. This proposed ordinance would repeal Spring City Ordinance 2026-03, which established a 1.06 acre minimum lot size throughout Spring City, returning the City to the same lot size as prevailed for many years until the adoption of Spring City Ordinance 2025-05.
2. As the repeal of Ordinance 2026-03 is the remedy sought by the petitioners pursuing a referendum, their remedy will be satisfied, and there will be no need to move forward with the referendum.
3. This proposed ordinance would also repeal Spring City Ordinance 2025-05, which established a protected historic area with a 1.06 acre minimum lot size, with the rest of the city having a minimum lot size of 0.5 acres (which zoning scheme was superseded by 2026-03).
4. The new ordinance would restore a 1.06 minimum lot size throughout Spring City (except for grandfathered lots). This is the minimum lot size which has prevailed in Spring City for many years and was approved years ago in a prior referendum.
5. The new ordinance would reinstate and modify other issues that were addressed in the two repealed ordinances other than the minimum lot size provisions, including the following:
a. Guest houses (external accessory dwelling units) would be permitted up to 1,000 square feet, with no more than 700 square feet on any one floor (2026-03 had put the maximum square feet on any one floor at 650 feet, and it was thought by some that additional room should be added to facilitate access to an upper floor).
b. Multi-family housing would be limited to 3 percent of all housing in the city, as provided in 2026-03, reduced from the 4 percent specified in 2025-05.
c. The definition of 'Moderate Income Housing' would be modified to change the blanket statement that 'The state of Utah requires cities to make a percentage of such housing available to residents' to clarify that only cities 'meeting certain requirements' are subject to such requirements (currently there is a minimum population size requirement - cities having at least 5,000 residents, but the specific requirements may change over time).
d. The definition of 'Spring City Resident' would be modified as suggested by legal counsel to clarify that whether a person resides full time in Spring City will be construed 'consistent with the requirements of applicable provisions of the Utah Code.'
e. The corrections to Section 10-6D-2 relating to permitted uses in the R-MF zone as reflected in 2026-03 would be carried forward.
f. The adjustments to Section 10-6D-4 regarding lot size requirements in the R-MF zone, implemented in 2026-03, would be carried forward.
g. The new ordinance would continue the restriction found in 2026-03, not allowing multi-family dwellings within the main street historical district.
