Cedar Hills amends the city code

By Danielle Palmer
The Cedar Hills City Council made several amendments to the city code at its July 19 meeting. One amendment was in relation to smoking and electronic cigarettes and park curfew noise in city parks. While no smoking is listed as a park rule, it is not stated in the code. Language in the code now includes "lighted pipe, cigar, or cigarette of any kind; e-cigs or any other lighted smoking equipment." Alcoholic beverages would remain prohibited. In addition to the 11 p.m. curfew at public parks, noise must be contained at an earlier hour (from Labor Day to Memorial Day, 8:30 p.m.; in summer, 9:30 p.m.; and 10:30 p.m. on weekends).
The city council also amended the code to include flag lot developments in access requirements as a permitted use within a specified zone. They also amended the city code relating to development and setbacks pertaining to decks, porches, patios, pergolas and awnings. The amendment removed language pertaining to the installation of recreation equipment because there was no clear direction on proper installment, excavation permits, etc. The council also amended the official fees, bonds and fines schedule for the city.
The Cedar Hills Grill Concession Agreement was discussed and amended to allow alcohol sales according to the regulations established by Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, specifying canned and bottled beer only as well as what areas on the premises consumption would be allowed (grill area). All council members agreed except Council Member Rob Crawley, who voted no.
Council members also unanimously voted to approve a resolution to adopt restrictions of fireworks and open fires in specified portions of the city. An ordinance to repeal Title 1, Chapter 8 of the city code relating to government records access and management was approved, and the council enacted Chapter 8A to except for the appeal to a local records appeals board.
There was also much discussion on city-owned property being maintained or improved by city residents as well as on the installation and operation of solar panels and the allowance of short-term rentals in the city, but no actions were taken on these subjects.
