January 2025 Millcreek Together Code Update I 18.37 Single-Household Residential (R-1) Zones Summary Sheet Chapter 18.47 Light Manufacturing Zones Summary A. Purpose. The purpose of the Light Manufacturing Zone is to provide areas for light manufacturing, warehousing, and commercial uses. The Light Manufacturing Zone may be applied to existing geographic zone boundaries of the already included in the Light Manufacturing Zone at the time of adoption of this ordinance, but no new land may be added to the M zone. Rezoning to the M zone is prohibited. B. What Changed. o Re-formatted to be consistent with other updated Zone Districts (changed lists to tables and renumbered). o Removed residential use. o Changed max elevation from 100 feet to 45’. o Added community garden and greenhouses uses. o Added language requiring additional buffering next to Big Cottonwood Creek. o Updated references to other sections and final numbering per final format outline. o Eliminated redundant language. o Fencing regulations that are covered in the landscape section and referenced the landscape chapter instead. o Nonconforming language referenced in the nonconforming chapter. C. What Remained the Same. o Uses and spatial requirements will remain the same. D. Rationale for Changes. Millcreek’s existing M zone was modified several years ago after a discussion of eliminating it. Property owners raised many serious concerns and as a result of that process the M zone was retained and updated to assure non-conforming rights were more clearly retained. Few changes proposed and the zone is already defined as a "Legacy" district, meaning no future rezones will be entertained.
