Your Participation is Needed!

Pine Valley Property Owners, 

The day is finally here and we need your help! 

After more than a year of doing surveys, holding community meetings and polishing our proposal, the County has scheduled its first public meeting about our proposed Pine Valley Overlay Zone. Now is the time for the Planning Commissioners to hear from you. It's critical we get as many comments to the Commissioners before Friday, April 8th. You can send an email to alisha.low@washco.utah.gov or send them by regular mail to Planning Commissioners, 197 E. Tabernacle Street, St. George, UT 84770. 

Your attendance at any and/or all of the meetings below would also be a huge help in showing community support. 

• April 12th 1:30pm (confirmed): Discussion item for the Planning Commissioners. This is their time to ask questions and discuss any issues together. It is not a public hearing, so no comments from the public will be allowed. That's why it's so important for you to send your written support prior to this meeting. Click here to see the agenda, which includes a Zoom option. There is another item on this agenda concerning Pine Valley. It's a public hearing for a request to rezone nearly 8 acres from Agricultural to Residential, requesting five 1/3 acre lots and one 5.5 acre lot. If you are interested, you can Click here to see the map and application documents. 

• May 10th 1:30pm (tentative): If all goes well at the April meeting, we will advance to the Planning Commissioners May 10th meeting, where a public hearing will be scheduled. This will be your opportunity to speak directly to the Commissioners (limited to two minutes per person). The Commissioners will then vote on whether or not to recommend the proposal to the County Commission. The County Commission has the final approval. We hope to be on their May 17th or June 7th agenda. 

But what is really needed right now are your comments showing support. This brief Q&A sheet about the Overlay Zone will give you a refresher and perhaps provide some ideas. The easiest way is to send an email alisha.low@washco.utah.gov . 

With gratitude, The Pine Valley Preservation Committee
