This is the town's 1975 typed zoning ordinance, the only one posted online (on Emery County's site). It may be outdated; confirm the current rules with the town.
Tables (like use tables) may not copy cleanly, so check any table against the official code.
Confirm anything here with Elmo planning before you rely on it.
The maximum height of any building measured from grade to the square of the building
