AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 17.06.020 OF THE MOAB MUNICIPAL CODE BY
REPEALING A PORTION OF THE DEFINITION OF FLAG -SHAPED OR PANHANDLE -
SHAPED LOTS
The following describe the intent and purpose of the City of Moab in the adoption of these
amendments:
a. The City desires to provide additional opportunities for housing in the City limits.
c. The Moab Planning Commission held a duly advertised public hearing on June 8, 2017, to hear
and decide the merits of the proposed change and receive public input. The Planning Commission
subsequently adopted Planning Resolution #28-2017 with the findings that the amendment was justified
and recommended approval by the City.
d. The City Council held a regularly scheduled meeting to review the recommendation from the
Planning Commission on June 13, 2017.
e. The City Council finds that it is appropriate for the City to encourage the development of housing
within the City for all residents; that the proposed change is consistent with the General Plan, which
encourages the development of affordable housing; and that the current standards for flag -shaped lots may
be outdated or an unnecessary impediment to the development of available housing for all residents.
NOW, THEREFORE, Council enacts that the definition of Flag -Shaped or Panhandle Lots in MMC
Section 17.06.020 is hereby amended so the definition shall now read:
"Flag -Shaped or Panhandle Lots Permitted. "Flag -shaped or panhandle -shaped lots" may be created in
any single-family or two-family residential zone if all of the following requirements are met:
1. The lot has at least twenty feet of frontage on a dedicated public street, which frontage serves as
access only to the subject lot or parcel;
2. The handle portion of the lot is at least twenty feet in width, and not more than one hundred fifty
feet in length;
3. The lot meets the lot area and lot width requirements of the applicable zone."
PASSED AND APPROVED by a majority of the City of Moab City Council. This ordinance shall take
effect immediately upon passage.
