The Kanab City Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, to consider two separate applications for zone changes that could alter residential and commercial development patterns within Kanab City.
Chinle Drive Rezoning Proposal
The first application involves a request to rezone the parcel identified as K-7-8-Annex, located approximately at 664 E. Chinle Drive. According to a public notice from the City of Kanab issued on August 17, 2026, the request seeks to change the designation of this property from C3 Commercial to R-1-10, which designates Residential Single Family with a 10,000 square foot minimum lot size.
If the proposed zone change is approved, the City of Kanab stated that the intended future use for the property includes the ability to split the lot into smaller parcels. Additionally, the rezoning would remove the requirement for a private road, a standard typically required for commercial lots under the current designation.
Multi-Family Development Plan
A second, separate application will also be reviewed during the same hearing scheduled for September 1, 2026. The City of Kanab announced that the Planning Commission will consider a request to rezone the parcel identified as K-228-3, located approximately at 346 E. 100 S.
This application proposes changing the current zoning from R-1-8, which is a Single Family Zone with an 8,000 square foot minimum lot size, to RM, which designates a Multi Family Zone. The City of Kanab noted that if this zone change is approved, the long-term plan for the property is to sell each side of the duplex individually.
Public Hearing Details
Both public hearings are scheduled to take place at 6:30 PM on Tuesday, September 1, 2026. The proceedings will be held within the Kanab City Council Chambers, located inside the Kanab City Complex at 26 N. 100 E. in Kanab, Utah.
The City of Kanab has invited all interested persons to appear at the meeting and the scheduled time and place to be heard regarding these specific applications.
Future Land Use Impact
These rezoning requests represent different approaches to land use in the area, ranging from converting commercial-designated land for single-family residential use to transitioning single-family plots into multi-family residential zones. The decisions made by the Planning Commission will determine the future development capabilities of the Chinle Drive and East 100 South properties.
