Previous C-2 conditions were part of Salt Lake County requirements. The MCC passed unanimously a motion agreeing with planning staff that zoning conditions should be removed from the listed properties. The current C-2 zone has better standards and uses for commercial properties than the zoning condition outlines for the listed properties. p9l/view?usp=sharing b. ZT-23-017 Fence and Retaining Wall Code Update. See link below. Specifically dealing with Section 18.67.080 – Prohibited Fence Materials Paragraph B: The MCC passed a motion to support the city with the provision that paragraphs B-2 and 3 be stricken. Corrugated metal is used as part of modern fencing at the present time in Millcreek. Chain link does not add a financial burden to home owners as other materials may. p=sharing Additional documents -rVvwUsqU/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=107307417293833223840&rtpof =true&sd=true ReTE/view?usp=sharing ---PAGE BREAK--- 8:00 PM Election update for Millcreek Community Council.
