Zoning Text Amendment regarding Community Correctional Facilities and Jails
Project Location: Citywide
Application Type: Zoning Text Amendment
Petition Number: PLNPCM2026-00384
Zoning District: M-1 (Light Manufacturing), MU-11 (Mixed Use District 11), and PL (Public Lands)
Council District: All Districts
On April 8th, 2026, the Planning Commission initiated a petition to remove 'Community Correctional Facilities' and 'Jail' as allowed uses from the Land Use Tables in 21A.33. The Commission is authorized to initiate text amendments under Title 21A.50.030. Community Correctional Facility is currently listed as a 'Conditional Use' in the M-1 (Light Manufacturing) and MU-11 (Mixed Use District 11) Zones, and Jail is listed as a 'Conditional Use' in the PL (Public Lands) District. The proposed amendment would remove the 'C' from the land use tables found in 21A.33 and would make these uses prohibited. This petition would not impact lands owned by the United States or land owned by the State of Utah. This would strictly apply to uses on private property that fit the definition of 'Community Correctional Facility' and 'Jail'.
Definition of Community Correctional Facility:
An institutional facility licensed by or contracted by the state of Utah to provide temporary occupancy for previously incarcerated persons or parole violators, which assists such persons in making a transition from a correctional institution environment to independent living. Such facility may also provide ancillary, temporary occupancy for individuals placed as part of, or in lieu of, confinement, rehabilitation, or treatment in a correctional institution. A community correctional facility may include a halfway house, work release center or any other domiciliary facility for persons released from any penal or correctional facility but still in the custody of the city, county or public agency and youth care centers or other facilities authorized to accept youth offenders. A community correctional facility includes a facility for the judicially required detention or incarceration of people who are under twenty four (24) hour supervision by sworn officers except when on an approved leave, confinement of offenders where force may be used to restrain them if they attempt to leave the institution without authorization, twenty four (24) hour supervision and confinement for youth offenders committed to the division for custody and rehabilitation, or services for parole violating offenders and/or noncompliant probationers.
The proposed amendment would apply to both 'Community Correctional Facility, small' (30 beds or less) and 'Community Correctional Facility, large' (over 30 beds).
Definition of Jail:
A place for lawful confinement of persons. For the purpose of this title, a jail shall not include community correctional facilities and mental hospitals. A jail includes a facility for the judicially required detention or incarceration of people who are under twenty four (24) hour supervision by sworn officers, and confinement of offenders where force may be used to restrain them if they attempt to leave the institution without authorization.
