NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Planning Commission
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on the 25th day of March 2025, at the hour of 6:00 p.m. of said day in the Council Chambers of Heber City, 75 North Main Street Heber City, Utah, the Planning Commission will hold and conduct a Public Hearing to consider the Central Heber Overlay Zone (CHOZ) Proposals:
Summary of the Central Heber Overlay Zone (CHOZ) Proposals
Within the general CHOZ Overlay, there are two sub-districts: Central Neighborhoods for the residential neighborhoods, and the Transition Corridor District (east and west of Main Street and along Midway Lane). The intent of each district is as follows:
Central Neighborhoods District (CND). The Central Neighborhoods District, as part of the Central Heber Overlay Zone, has been established to allow for various forms of infill. These include flag lots, small lots, and certain missing middle housing types. The CND adds additional housing flexibility to the R-2 and R-3 zones in the Downtown area.
Transition Corridors District (TCD). The Central Heber Vision suggests an additional mix of uses could be considered as a transition to the residential neighborhoods east and west of the Main Street area and along Midway Lane. The Transition Corridors District (TCD) has been established to promote limited uses with a mix consisting of residential and commercial uses. The mix of uses would allow for medium to higher density residential uses, with occasional corners for lower intensity commercial uses.
For both sub-districts, the additional infill housing types include: flag lots, smaller lots (based on the current infill ordinance), duplexes, mansion homes (3 and 4plex homes that look like a single home), courtyard buildings, and subordinate dwelling units. Design standards are also proposed and are based on the type of building being proposed.
Use Options for Historic Homes in the Central Heber Overlay Zone. As a new chapter this draft ordinance provides for additional use options for historic buildings with certain architectural features. The intent is to provide additional income possibilities that could help ensure the continuation of these older buildings. Older buildings become increasingly harder to maintain as they age. If the area becomes eligible for an historic designation or additional homes get individually designated, businesses within the dwellings can help provide tax credits to the property owner. Income and tax credits could be applied to the upkeep of the home
Process: The suggested process leading to a possible adoption includes a public open house on March 20th at the Public Safety Building, a half-hour pre-public hearing open house for additional input on February 25th coupled with a public hearing with the Planning Commission at City Hall. If the Planning Commission recommends approval or approval with some changes, the draft goes to the City Council for review and a potential eventual adoption.
If the Public is unable to attend, the Public Hearing comments can be emailed to PCPublic@heberut.gov. Comments may be read aloud during the open comment portion of the Public Hearing and will be included as part of the permanent public records for this meeting.
