PUBLIC HEARINGS NOTICE
Notice is hereby given that the Duchesne County Planning Commission will meet at 5:00 p.m. in the Commission Chambers, County Administration Building, 734 North Center Street, Duchesne, Utah, on May 1, 2024 to conduct a public hearing on proposed amendments of the text of the Duchesne County Zoning Ordinance to establish an airport overlay zoning district to protect the Duchesne Municipal Airport from incompatible uses, pursuant to House Bill 206, passed in the 2023 Utah General Legislative Session.
Properties within proximity of the Duchesne Municipal Airport are currently zoned either industrial or agricultural by the county. The proposal would apply additional land use restrictions to real property within several defined airport zones with a goal of preventing higher density development that could result in noise complaints or mass casualties in the event of a crash. The ordinance would also regulate heights of buildings and other features to prevent hazardous obstructions to navigation.
The Duchesne County Commissioners will conduct a public hearing to review the Planning Commission recommendation and proposed Ordinance #24-410 during their May 13, 2024 meeting, beginning at 1:00 PM in the Commission Chambers, Duchesne County
Administration Building, 734 North Center Street, Duchesne, Utah. This provides property owners ten days, as required by state law, to file written objections after the first public hearing.
For a copy of the proposed ordinance and airport overlay zone map, or to file a written objection to the proposed ordinance, contact Mike Hyde at (435) 738-1151 or Mike Gottfredson at (435) 738-1135. Written comments should be mailed to: Duchesne County Planning, P.O. Box 317, Duchesne, Utah 84021 or email mhyde@duchesne.utah.gov or mikeg@duchesne.utah.gov. All objections will be provided to the Duchesne County Commissioners at their May 13, 2024 public hearing.
Persons needing special accommodations for these meetings should call Duchesne County Planning at least 3 days in advance of the hearings.
