6.01.50 Requirements and Procedures Applicable to all Zones

A. Home Occupations. A home occupation is any business or trade carried on entirely within a dwelling or accessory building by persons residing on the property and the business or trade is not the primary use of the property. It is the policy of the Town to permit home occupations in all zoning districts where a dwelling is allowed. The home occupation shall comply with all Town business license and permit requirements. Home occupations must comply with all applicable building, plumbing, electrical, and health codes or laws. Exterior storage of vehicles, equipment, or inventory is not allowed for home occupations unless adequately screened by opaque fences, screening, or the like. Home occupations that generate excessive noise, vibration, glare, smoke, odors, dust, traffic, or which otherwise create a nuisance or unreasonable interference with the use or enjoyment of nearby or adjacent persons or properties may be prohibited by the Town. Short term lodging rentals for a period of thirty (30) days or less shall not be considered a valid home occupation. B. Building Height. The maximum building height in all zoning districts for residential dwellings, where allowed, is twenty-six (26) feet measured from finished grade of the primary structure to the peak of the roof. Chimneys, antennae, ornamental elements, or the like shall not be used in calculating maximum building height. Dwellings shall not exceed two (2) stories above finished grade level. Accessory buildings, where applicable, may not exceed thirty-five (35) feet. C. Onsite Wastewater System Requirements. All development not connected to a lawful public or private sewage treatment system must include an onsite wastewater system (OWS) installed and maintained in compliance with Utah Administrative Code R.317-4 or other applicable rules. All minimum lot areas specified by this Title are subject to applicable onsite wastewater regulations. Where a larger area is needed for satisfactory performance of an onsite wastewater system, the Town may require that minimum lot areas in any particular zoning district be increased to a size sufficient to accommodate the necessary systems. D. Buffers. Buffers, as defined in 6.01.010N shall be required between all commercial developments and residences where the land use is zoned differently. Buffers required under this subsection are not subject to setback requirements and shall be within property boundaries. E. Fences. Fences are not subject to setback requirements and shall be within property boundaries. F. Driveways. Driveways, as defined in 6.01.010(V), are not subject to setback requirements and shall not encroach into adjoining lots.
