The Council Will Receive an Informational Presentation and Public Comment About This Issue at the February 6, 2024 Council Meeting
Requested Agenda Item Description: Request to set a public hearing for an update and revision of Title 19 FR and FA zones. The primary problem driving the need for this update is water quality mandates from the State of Utah. The State of Utah has set a deadline for February 2024 by which Salt Lake County must implement non-structural (i.e., regulatory) Best Management Practices to protect waters from E. coli pollution or face the prospect of penalties like what Salt Lake County was required to pay in 2016 (a $280,000 fine). Both the Salt Lake County Planning Commission and the Mountainous Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the Salt Lake County Council adopt these proposed changes.
Requested Action: Discussion - Vote Needed
Presenter(s) (with titles): Brian Tucker, Planning Manager for the MSD. Zach Shaw, Deputy District Attorney, Salt Lake County District Attorney
