The Kanab City Planning Commission voted to approve a building project for Best Friends Animal Society, changing the zoning from Rural Agricultural (RA) to Residential Single-Family (R-1-8 and R-1-15). Best Friends was denied on two other attempts when they tried to get the zoning changed to Residential Multi-Family. It will now go before the Kanab City Council for approval.
Instead of the clustering of the 45 homes around the center of the property, as was proposed in the initial request, this zone allows for two to four homes per acre, according to the Kanab City General Plan. Potentially this 30 acre subdivision could see anywhere from 60 to 120 houses in it, depending on how Best Friends wants to develop it. Battista said it’s possible that not all of the lots would be owned by Best Friends in the end. Southern Utah News
