Cedar City meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Cedar City agendas list well bids, road spending and zoning changes; no minutes yet

Cedar City Council and Planning Commission agendas over the past two weeks scheduled action on well rehabilitation bids, a road project change order, and several zoning and development requests. Minutes for all four meetings had not been published as of Oct. 26, so no votes, outcomes, or final amounts appear in the records reviewed. Everything below is what the agendas listed for consideration.

Well rehabilitation bids

The Oct. 14 City Council agenda listed two bids for the Quichapa Wells Rehabilitation Project: Widdison Well Services at $574,970 and Grimshaw Drilling at $801,365. The agenda did not state which bid was recommended or whether a contract was awarded.

Road spending

The same Oct. 14 agenda listed a change order for the 100 East Roadway project in the amount of $117,500.05. A Council work meeting on Oct. 21 listed a discussion on a Master Planned Road near 725 N and 1450 W.

Land use and zoning

The Oct. 14 Council agenda listed a General Plan and zone change near 226 N 3325 W to Business/Light Manufacturing, and a zone change for Bauer Meadows RDO near Westview Drive and South Mountain Drive.

The Planning Commission met Oct. 20. Two agenda summaries were provided for that meeting. Both list a public hearing on a Development Agreement for Iron Horse RDO at 2415 West 1250 South and a public hearing on an Ordinance Text Amendment to Section 26-III-21 on Permitted and Conditional Uses. One summary describes the Iron Horse request as increasing a height limit from 35 to 50 feet. The summaries give different addresses for an amended plat: one lists 379 North 3550 West, the other 679 North 3550 West.

Arena, airport and other business

The Oct. 14 agenda listed bids and potential impact fee waivers for the Covered Outdoor Arena Project at Cross Hollow Event Center.

The Oct. 21 work meeting agenda listed an Airport Terminal CCTV Expansion and Planning Consultant selection, an agreement on a water acquisition credit for Cedar 106 parcels, a proposed amendment to the Mining Rights Lease for Coal Creek Gravel, and consideration of Budget Policy.

Coming up

The City Council's Nov. 4, 2026, Work Meeting is scheduled to include three public hearings: a development agreement for property at approximately 2415 West 1250 South (Iron Horse RDO); a zone change from Residential Agricultural (RA) to Mixed Use (MU) near 2300 W Cross Hollow Road (Iron Horse RDO); and modifications to Cedar City Ordinance 26-III-21 regarding procedures for uses not in the current use table.

Residents can attend that meeting or review the posted agenda for details. Because minutes for the October meetings were not available, this roundup cannot report what the Council or Commission ultimately approved, rejected, or tabled.

Cedar City boards set zoning hearings, project bids and appeals; no minutes published yet

Cedar City's City Council, Planning Commission, Board of Adjustments and Historic Downtown Committee all had items scheduled in early October, according to meeting notices. Every record reviewed for this roundup is an agenda only — minutes have not been published — so no votes, dollar amounts or final outcomes are confirmed. What follows is what each body was set to take up.

City Council: three land-use hearings and two project bids

The Council's October 7, 2026 work meeting included three public hearings. The first was a General Plan change from Central Commercial to Business/Light Manufacturing near 226 N 3325 W. The second was a zone change from Industrial and Manufacturing (I&M-2) to I&M-1 in the same vicinity. The third was a zone change from Annexed Transition to R-1, R-2-1, R-2-2, R-3-M and Central Commercial in the Bauer Meadows area near Westview Drive and South Mountain Drive.

The same agenda listed bids for the Quichapa Wells Rehabilitation Project and the Covered Outdoor Arena Project, a proposed waiver of impact fees for the new Covered Outdoor Arena at the Cross Hollow Event Center, and a change order for the 100 East Roadway project. The agenda does not state dollar figures for any of these items.

Planning Commission: Cross Hollow Road rezoning

On October 6, 2026, the Planning Commission scheduled a public hearing with a single agenda item: a request to change the zoning of property at approximately 2300 West Cross Hollow Road from RA (Residential Agricultural) to MU (Mixed Use). The meeting was set for 5:15 p.m. at 10 N. Main Street, Cedar City, UT 84720, with time allowed for public comment. The notice was posted September 25, 2026, and lists Eve Bolhuis, 435-586-2963, as the contact.

Board of Adjustments: six requests

The Board of Adjustments met October 5, 2026 at 5:15 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at 10 North Main Street. The agenda lists a home occupation nail business at approximately 787 East Fiddlers Canyon Road (Wow Cute Nails / Amara Nielson); a home occupation daycare at approximately 2178 North Cottontail Drive (Charlet Cunningham); a variance for an enclosed garage and side setbacks at approximately 507 South 300 West (Howard & Janet Thorley); a variance and special exception for fence height and front setbacks at approximately 2390 West UT-56 (Bridgeway Integrated Healthcare Services / Angie Jaskowski); and an administrative appeal of a staff decision requiring public improvements at approximately 1695 West 200 North (A+ Student Suites / Justin W. Wayment). The agenda summary describes six requests; five are listed in the items provided. No staff recommendations or expected outcomes are stated.

Historic Downtown Committee

The Historic Downtown Committee's October 1, 2026 agenda included approval of past minutes, election of a new chair and vice chair, and discussion of downtown projects: a committee clean-up service project recap, Hocus Focus, Thankful On Main, and downtown lighting, followed by staff reports, public comment and a Utah Main Street discussion. The summary text references a September 4 meeting while the record lists the date as October 1; the source does not reconcile the two.

Cancelled notice

One notice in the set, filed under the Cedar City Redevelopment Agency Taxing Entity Committee, is marked cancelled. It referenced the same October 6 Planning Commission hearing on the Cross Hollow Road zone change. Because the notice was cancelled, no hearing or decision is confirmed to have occurred under it.

Coming up

The Planning Commission meets October 20, 2026. Its agenda includes a public hearing on an ordinance text amendment to Section 26-III-21 regarding permitted and conditional uses, an amended plat for property at 679 North 3550 West, and a development agreement for 2415 West 1250 South that would increase a height limit from 35 to 50 feet.
