WHEREAS, the City Council ("Council") adopted the Moab Municipal Code ("Code") and
especially Chapter 12.00.00, Streets, sidewalks, and public places, to promote a more attractive and
wholesome environment and protect mapped street rights -of -way and provide for a safe and enjoyable
transportation grid for all modes of travel throughout the City of Moab ("City") ; and
WHEREAS, from time to time the City has determined that there is a need to amend the Code in
order to make the text more contemporary, align the language with Utah State Code, and provide for a use
that was not anticipated at the time of adoption; and
WHEREAS, the City has found it to be desirable to make the development of single family
residential uses on very large lots adjacent to unpaved streets more flexible; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, in a duly advertised public meeting, reviewed the merits of the
Municipal Code amendment concerning street construction for single family residential uses and found
that the amendments to the code are in the best interests of the City and residents.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Moab City Council hereby ordains that Ordinance #2013-19 is

determined by the Public Works Director.
