The Washington County Planning Commission is scheduled to meet on November 10, 2026, to consider a variety of land use applications and legislative changes, according to a November 5 notice. The meeting is set to begin at 1:30 p.m. and is scheduled to conclude by 3:30 p.m.
The agenda includes several administrative and legislative reviews. Thomson Estate, operating as Heart Rock Ranch, has submitted a hillside development permit application for Parcel 3031-B-NS in New Harmony. The applicant is requesting a review of proposed main and well access roads along the westerly right-of-way of Harmony Drive.
In a separate legislative matter, Kent and Karla McArthur have submitted a zone change application for approximately 1.030 acres in the Pinto Townsite, Block 14, Lot 1. The applicants are requesting to rezone the property from Agricultural (A-20) to Residential Agricultural (RA-1) to allow for the construction of a cabin on the parcel.
The commission will also review a final plat for the proposed Kolob Canyon View Estates subdivision in New Harmony. The project, submitted by Edwin Voskanian/Deer Hollow Properties, involves approximately 95 acres, specifically parcels 3094-NS and a portion of 3091-A-2-NS. The 17-lot subdivision would utilize individual septic systems for each lot within the NHVOZ RA-5 zoning designation.
Legislative changes to the zoning code Title 10 are also on the agenda. The commission will hold a public hearing regarding revisions to the code, which include repealing and replacing Chapters 11-15 and revising provisions for Agritourism and the Rural Tourism Zone. These changes include the adoption of a CAFO/AFO map regarding large and medium animal feeding operations. The commission will consider these proposals and make a recommendation to the County Commission.
The meeting will be held in the Commission Chambers in the Washington County Administration Building at 111 East Tabernacle, St. George, Utah, and via Zoom. Public comments during public hearings will be limited to two minutes per person per item, while a spokesperson for a group will be allowed five minutes to summarize concerns.
