Enoch officials weigh transient room tax, R-1-18 zoning changes, and park plans
Enoch city bodies met the week of July 14 to take up a proposed transient room tax, potential changes to residential zoning rules, and options for a 60-acre school district property. Minutes have not yet been published for any of the recent meetings, so only the items listed on each agenda can be reported; outcomes and vote tallies are not yet available.
City Council considers transient room tax ordinance
The Enoch City Council's July 15 agenda included Ordinance No. 2026-07-15, which would adopt a transient room tax. The council was also scheduled to discuss proposed membership in the Southern Utah Economic Alliance and fireworks limitations for the July 24 holiday. No minutes have been released, so it is not yet known whether the ordinance passed, what tax rate was proposed, or how members voted.
Planning Commission takes up R-1-18 zone and annexation policy
The Planning Commission met July 14 with two substantive items on its agenda. The first was a proposal to amend Enoch City Code sections 12.1400.1402-1403, which govern permitted and conditional uses in the R-1-18 residential zone. The commission was also scheduled to set a public hearing on that topic for July 28, 2026.
The second item was a review of proposed changes to the city's Annexation Policy Plan, along with a public hearing on a proposed amendment to the Enoch City Annexation Declaration Area. Procedural items on the agenda included approval of the meeting agenda and minutes from June 9, 2026, public comments, and commission and staff reports.
Because minutes are not yet published, the commission's recommendations and any votes on these items are not available.
Recreation Advisory Board reviews park complex and school district land
The Recreation Advisory Board met July 16 to discuss the city park complex and options for a 60-acre school district property located behind Rally Stop. The agenda also included a report on Arbor Day activities, a roundtable question-and-answer session, and approval of the meeting agenda.
No minutes have been released, so any recommendations the board made are not yet on the record.
