Street vacation and zone change adopted Oct. 6

Ordinance 2026-23 covers the abandonment and vacation of a portion of 2460 West. Ordinance ZC26-14 changes the zone on parcel H-311-C-2 from R1-10 to R1-8. City records describe R1-10 as one unit per 10,000 square feet; the R1-8 standard was not described in the records provided.

Hurricane council adopts street-vacation and rezoning ordinances; bond resolutions for police station and city hall were on the Oct. 1 agenda

Hurricane City Council members adopted two ordinances at their Oct. 6 meeting, according to the posted meeting record: Ordinance 2026-23, abandoning and vacating a portion of 2460 West, and Ordinance ZC26-14, changing the zone for parcel H-311-C-2 from R1-10 to R1-8. Minutes for that meeting have not yet been published, so the record available so far does not include vote tallies or discussion.

Street vacation and rezoning adopted

The 2460 West item followed a public hearing held during the council's Oct. 1 meeting, where residents could comment on the abandonment request. The proposal was available for inspection at the City Recorder's office and on the city website, and written comments were due by 3 p.m. the day before the meeting.

The zoning change applies to parcel H-311-C-2, listed in the Oct. 1 agenda as 1024 N Main Street, requested by applicant Scott Brady, moving from R1-10 to R1-8. The R1-10 designation allows one unit per 10,000 square feet, according to the Planning Commission notice describing that zone.

Bond resolutions for police station and city hall considered Oct. 1

At its Oct. 1 meeting, the council's agenda listed bond resolutions that, if approved, would authorize borrowing for major facilities.
