The Grantsville City Council adopted several new ordinances during meetings held in August, September, and October of 2026, according to a public notice published October 8.

Ordinance 2026-05 was adopted on August 19, 2026, and approves the rezoning of property near 500 West Apple Street for the Apple Street Townhomes Subdivision to RM-15 (Multiple Residential District). This designation excludes approximately 1.19 acres intended for commercial use along the SR-138 frontage.

On September 16, 2026, the council adopted Ordinance 2026-29, which amends Chapter 15 of the Grantsville Land Use and Management Code. This change allows micro-entrepreneurship as a conditional use within the R-1-8, R-1-12, R-1-21, RM-7, and RM-15 zoning districts, provided they meet existing standards and undergo separate application and approval processes.

Also adopted on September 16, 2026, Ordinance 2026-30 amends Chapters 2, 6, and 7 of the Grantsville Land Use Ordinance. The amendments remove the minimum 100-foot frontage requirement for home occupation permit eligibility and remove the fixed 60-foot driveway separation requirement near intersections. The ordinance also clarifies that conditional use applications may be referred to the Planning Commission if public comments raise concerns.

Ordinance 2026-28, adopted October 5, 2026, amends Chapter 9 of the Grantsville Land Use Ordinance to update standards for landscaping, waterwise landscaping, turf, irrigation, park strips, parkways, and medians. These updates include requirements for landscape plans, installation, maintenance, and approved plant materials.

Full copies of these ordinances are available for review at the Grantsville City Recorder’s office during business hours. They can also be viewed online through the City’s website or the Utah Public Notice Website.
