The Orderville Planning and Zoning Commission on March 25 recommended approval of three conditional-use permits that allow private homes to operate as vacation rentals and discussed coordinating any regular-meeting time change with the town council.
For Marlene Cohen (1750 South State Street), staff reported that the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) told the applicant that an already-approved access point would not be affected by the property’s continued use as a vacation rental. Chair (label 1) said staff had the UDOT confirmation and the commission moved to recommend approval. Committee member (label 2) moved to approve the conditional-use permit; committee member (label 5) seconded and the motion carried on a voice vote.
The commission then recommended approval for Sean Riley’s ownership-change application to continue an existing vacation rental at 390 West Prickley Pear Circle; that item passed on a voice vote after a motion and second. Next, the panel considered a permit for Wiebach Sam Cubas (10:45 South Pinion Pine Drive) and approved it after a motion and second; one commissioner announced an abstention from that vote.
In other business, commissioners debated moving regular meetings to 5:30 p.m. on Mondays to align with a proposed town-council schedule. After discussion the commission agreed to "mimic" whatever schedule the town council adopts and make any change contingent on council action — in short, the P&Z will change its meeting time if the town council does. Staff also reminded members about a free basic land-use-law workshop on April 8 in Bryce Canyon and encouraged registration and carpooling.
The meeting adjourned following a motion that carried by voice vote.
