Melissa Anderson, Zoning Administrator
Body
Description/Background:
The proposed Code Amendments would amend Title 21, Land Development Code, Chapter 2, General Provisions, Section 16, Improvement Completion Assurance (Guarantee). During the 2024 Utah Legislative Session, House Bill 476 was passed, which enacted language that modify a provision relating to completion assurance bonds for public sidewalks (UCA 10-9a-802, Enforcement). The new legislation restricts cities from redeeming an improvement completion assurance that secures the installation of a public sidewalk any sooner than 18 months after the date it is posted. The proposed code amendment will bring the City’s land use code under Sec. 21-2-16 into compliance with these new state law provisions.
On May 16, 2024, the Planning Commission recommended the City Council adopt the proposed amendments to Title 21, of the Land Development Code, relating to Improvement Completion Assurances for Public Sidewalks as shown in Exhibit “A” (red-lined version) and Exhibit “B” (clean version).
