The Kaysville City Council passed an ordinance on August 20, 2026, to place a temporary land use regulation on accessory structures within the city. According to the ordinance, the city intends to use this period to evaluate whether permanent amendments to current land use regulations are warranted.
The ordinance was established after the City Council received information and concerns regarding the height, size, placement, and location of certain accessory structures. Officials determined that current regulations might not adequately address potential impacts in all circumstances, necessitating additional study.
During the 180-day effective period, the city may continue to review and approve applications for accessory structures under the regulations in effect at the time of application. However, applicants will be advised in writing that regulations may be amended during this period. The ordinance states that proceeding with construction during this time means the applicant accepts the risk that they may be required to modify the structure to comply with new regulations if amendments occur.
The temporary regulation will remain in effect for 180 days unless it is repealed or superseded by an ordinance establishing permanent land use regulations. The ordinance was passed and adopted by the City Council on August 20, 2026.
