Requested Agenda Item Description: Public hearing to receive comment on updates and revisions to Salt Lake County Code of Ordinances, Chapter 19.12, entitled “Forestry and Recreation Zones” and Chapter 19.54, entitled “Foothill Agriculture 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
