The Dutch John Planning and Zoning Commission is scheduled to hold a public hearing on Oct. 14, 2026, to discuss proposed changes to existing zoning districts within the Town of Dutch John. According to a Oct. 4 notice, the meeting will address updates to the current Resort Residential zone and the introduction of a new Transient Residential Zone.
The proposed changes include updating the existing Resort Residential zone to a Mixed Use Resort (MxR) district. This district is intended to promote and preserve conditions favorable to high density, multiple family, and mostly second home or nightly rental development, including a mix of small retail and commercial services for the immediate community. For the Mixed Use Resort district, an individual connection to Dutch John culinary water and sewer is mandatory for each dwelling unit.
Additionally, the commission will discuss the introduction of a Transient Residential (TR) district. This zone is designed to promote and preserve areas favorable to both short-term and long-term residential rentals, including resort and hotel lodging, along with specified supporting and accessory uses. Similar to the Mixed Use Resort district, an individual connection to Dutch John culinary water and sewer is mandatory for each dwelling unit.
The public hearing is scheduled for 6:45 PM on Oct. 14, 2026, at 560 South Blvd, Dutch John, UT 84023. Electronic or telephone participation is available for the meeting, and further details regarding participation can be found at https://dutchjohn.gov/pages/calendar. Agenda packets and minutes may be accessed via https://dutchjohn.gov/agendas.
