The Harrisville City Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, November 18, 2026, to consider adopting Ordinance 576. The proposed ordinance would amend Title 11 of the Harrisville City Municipal Code regarding land use and zoning.
The proposed amendments are intended to replace certain repealed residential zoning designations. Specifically, the ordinance would replace the former R-5-6 Residential Zone designation with the R-5 Compact Single Family Residential Zone. Additionally, the former R-3 Residential Zone designation would be replaced by the R-SA Single Family Attached Residential Zone.
While the designations would change, the amendments would not change the existing geographic boundaries of the areas currently designated R-5-6 or R-3 on the official zoning map. The former R-5-6 areas would become R-5, and the former R-3 areas would become R-SA.
The amendments would also update development standards applicable to residential properties. These updates include standards for minimum lot area and frontage, density, building setbacks, single-family attached development standards, open-space requirements, private yard alternatives, building design standards, parking, fencing, and additions to existing homes. The ordinance also aims to establish and clarify permitted and conditional land uses.
The public hearing is scheduled for 7:00 PM at the Harrisville City Hall, located at 363 West Independence Blvd, Harrisville, Utah 84404. The Planning Commission will receive public comment and consider the ordinance before making a recommendation to the Harrisville City Council.
Interested persons may provide comments in person or submit written comments to the City Recorder via email at jfogal@harrisvillecity.gov. Written comments must be received no later than 12:00 PM on Wednesday, November 18, 2026. When submitting written comments, individuals should include their first and last name, mailing address, the ordinance number, and their comments regarding the proposed action.
