After weeks of meetings and one of the longest discussions on a project council members say they’ve ever seen, the Hurricane City Council voted unanimously Thursday to approve an amendment to the general plan for the development “Lost Trails at the Cove.”
Although City Council members voted to approve the plan, some modifications were made to the original application. The developer had wanted 340 acres in an area known as the Cove to be rezoned to mixed use – which would allow for residential, commercial, industrial and other uses. Many residents and council members expressed concern over all 340 acres being rezoned to mixed use, with some saying it would allow Thomas to do whatever he wants. In response, the developer modified his request, asking that 160 acres be rezoned for mixed use while the remaining 180 acres would be residential. St. George News
