The St. George City Council finalized several land-use changes and easement vacations during June 2026, moving forward with the removal of municipal utility access in both the Desert Color Resort area and the Bloomington Country Club subdivision.
Desert Color Resort Easement Vacation
Confirmed by City Notice
During a public hearing held on June 4, 2026, city officials considered an ordinance to vacate a municipal utility easement designated as common area. The easement is located at 532 enough S Pura Lane, adjoining Lot 406 of the Desert Color Resort Phase 4B and Phase 6.
The specific property details for this vacation were identified in Document No. 20230032066. As noted in a public notice issued by the city, the hearing was intended to allow interested persons to present views regarding the removal of these utility designations.
Bloomington Country Club Changes
Following the June 4 hearing, the St. George City Council moved to adopt further ordinances regarding property easements. On June 18, 2026, the council approved Ordinance No. 2026-048, which vacated a portion of both a utilities easement and a drainage easement.
This specific easement is located along the rear lot line of Lot 76 within the Bloomington Country Club No. 6 Subdivision.
Industrial Park Ordinance Approval
The council also approved Ordinance No. 2026-049, which addressed the St. George Industrial Park. This ordinance vacated all easements on Lots 3 and 4, as well as the former Sac Street.
A single exception remains for this area: the Pole Line Easement that crosses Lot 3 will not be vacated.
Rezoning Near Gap Canyon Parkway
In addition to easement changes, the council enacted a significant zoning modification on June 18, 2026. Under Ordinance No. 2026-050, the city amended its official Zoning Map to change the designation of approximately 42.86 acres.
The land, located generally southwest of the intersection of Gap Canyon Parkway and 1790 West, was transitioned from R-1-10 to PD-R. This change moves the property from a Residential zone requiring 10,000 square foot minimum lot sizes to a Planned Development Residential designation.
Public Participation Procedures
The City of St. George maintained its standard procedure for public participation during these sessions, providing avenues for written comments via email to the City Recorder and offering in-person testimony at scheduled hearings.
