Moab City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: March 22, 2022
Title:Regional Haze Conversation with the EPA Region 8
Presenter:None
Attachment(s):Draft letter, Sierra Club memo
Recommended Motion:N/A - Conversation
Background/Summary:This item was heard at the February 8th, 2022
regular City Council meeting, at which time the Council approved a letter
(attached) to send to the EPA discussing the importance of pollution controls
for our nearby coal power plants. The EPA responded to that letter and asked
to have a conversation with the Mayor and City Council. This is an opportunity
for Council members and the Mayor to discuss these issues with KC Becker, the
Region 8 Administrator for the EPA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the previous agenda summary:
There are two remaining large coal-fired power plants in Utah - Hunter and
Huntington - which are required to comply with clean air regulations. Part of
these regulations are in regards to haze-producing pollutants in national
parks. This aspect of the Clean Air Act is called “Regional Haze.” In 2016, Moab
played a pivotal role in engaging the EPA and producing a strong haze rule,
which was incorporated into the Federal Implementation Plan for pollution
control at both plants in 2016. This plan was never adopted and implemented,
due to rule rollbacks after the federal administration changed.
With the new administration, and new Region 8 EPA Administrator, KC Becker,
there is an opportunity to engage the EPA anew and encourage them to
reinstate the pollution-control requirements from 2016, which would reduce
haze-causing pollutants by 76% from Hunter and Huntington power plants.
Retrofit technology has only become more available, and the parks continue to
be impacted by anthropogenic haze.
The intention of this letter is to voice support at the local level for Regional
Haze controls and introduce Moab to the new EPA administrator. The climate
change and clean energy goals of the current administration align well with
pollution-controls, and the Hunter and Huntington plants directly impact our
region’s skies. Enforcing the regulations agreed upon in 2016 would benefit
the health and economy of Moab and our neighboring communities.
MEMO
TO:White House Climate Policy Office
FROM:Sierra Club and National Parks Conservation Association
SUBJECT:Action on Regional Haze Will Deliver Significant Climate and Health Co-benefits
DATE:December 7, 2021
====================================================================
This memo discusses actions necessary from the administration to reduce haze-causing
pollution from coal-fired plants under the Regional Haze Rule. Significant opportunities exist to
codify emission reductions under both the outstanding round 1 plans for five states as well
round 2 plans that are currently in process for all states around the nation.
Final Regional Haze action is required now on outstanding round 1 plans. Significant
emissions reductions can be secured that would not otherwise be achieved under any
other existing rulemaking.
The 1990 Clean Air Act amendments require states and EPA to remedy the degraded visibility
caused by human-made air pollution -- primarily sulfur dioxide (“SO2”), nitrogen oxide
(“NOx”), and particulate matter from industrial sources -- at treasured national parks and
wilderness areas designated as “Class I” areas. EPA subsequently issued the Regional Haze
Rule, which required states to submit state implementation plans by 2007, and then every 10
years after. The plans outline compliance schedules and measures, and emissions limits for
polluting facilities that will make reasonable progress toward the goal of correcting visibility
issues in Class I areas. The first round of plans required the oldest and dirtiest polluters to
install the best available retrofit technology, or “BART”, to reduce pollution from some of the
worst offenders. More than 13 years later, several states’ plans have yet to fully comply with
round 1 BART requirements.
In June 2021, Sierra Club and National Parks Conservation Association along with four other
conservation organizations submitted a request1 to EPA Administrator Michael Regan
highlighting the need for complete and rigorous implementation of BART requirements,
highlighting a range of state plan deficiencies or a lack of final action state implementation
plans for Texas, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska and Pennsylvania.
1 The coal units described in this letter (excluding those with firm retirement dates) are: Gerald Gentleman 1-2
(NE), Hunter 1-3 (UT), Huntington 1-2 (UT), Jim Bridger 1-2 (WY), Limestone 1-2 (TX), Martin Lake 1-3 (TX),
Naughton 1-2 (WY), Tolk 1-2 (TX), WA Parish 5-6 (TX), Wyodak 1 (WY). Sierra Club, Environmental Defense Fund,
Powder River Basin Resource Council, Earthjustice, National Parks Conservation Association and HEAL Utah, “Re:
Regional Haze: Outstanding Obligations from the First Planning Period,” Letter to EPA Administrator Regan, June
8, 2021.
1
Full compliance with the BART program and final round 1 actions will lead to long overdue,
significant improvement to air quality and visibility in places like (but not limited to) Big Bend,
Zion, Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Rocky Mountain and Shenandoah National Parks. In
addition, this action will have substantial co-benefits of reducing greenhouse gas emissions
and improving public health. This memo highlights these important co-benefits and the need
for prompt action by EPA.
Climate and health impacts of coal plants subject to Regional Haze action
The Conservation Organizations’ letter highlighted 21 units at coal-fired power plants2 in these
five states which would be required to make significant capital expenditures in pollution
controls like selective catalytic reduction (“SCR”) or flue gas desulfurization (“FGD”) to meet
BART requirements at aging, polluting coal plants. Many of these plants, however, are
expensive to continue operating and increasingly uneconomic relative to renewable energy like
wind and solar, energy storage, and customer energy efficiency programs that avoid the need
for expensive power plants. While modern pollution controls would reduce air pollution from
these plants, in many cases it is more cost effective to simply replace these polluting power
plants with clean energy resources.
These 21 coal units consist of 12,579 MW of generating capacity. In 2019, they collectively
emitted 63 million metric tons of CO2, nearly 4% of total U.S. electric sector emissions. While
modern air pollution controls on their own may not reduce this climate pollution, many of
these units are already uneconomic, and additional capital expenditures on aging and
expensive power plants may not be economically rational in the face of lower cost clean energy
options.
The 21 coal units described in this letter collectively emitted 233 million pounds of SO2 and
112 million pounds of NOx in 2019. This includes some of the largest sources of pollution in
the country. For example, the Martin Lake power plant in Texas was the single largest source of
SO2 emissions nationwide in the power sector in 2019, and was also the 7th largest power
sector source of NOx pollution. W.A. Parish, outside of Houston, Texas was the third largest
source of SO2 in the U.S. power sector in 2019, polluting communities that are already
burdened with particulate matter pollution worse than three-quarters of the country. Gerald
Gentleman in Nebraska was the 5th largest SO2 emitter in the power sector in 2019. The
Hunter power plant in Utah is 5th in the nation for NOx pollution, and due to its proximity to
several iconic national parks, is the second largest contributor to pollution in national parks.3
3 NPCA, as referenced in Sierra Club et al letter to EPA Administrator Regan.
2 These totals exclude four Texas electricity generating units that have proposed retirement / gas conversion
dates, as well as two cement plants in Pennsylvania which are identified in the letter for which the state
implementation plan has significant deficiencies.
2
Reducing SO2 and NOx emissions from these coal units to the level of plants with modern, fully
functional pollution controls would reduce NOx emissions by 41 million pounds and SO2 by
180 million pounds.4 Shuttering these plants and replacing the electricity and grid services
with clean energy resources could eliminate this pollution altogether.
The air pollution from these coal units does not just impair visibility in national parks. SO2 and
NOx are dangerous pollutants, both directly and through the formation of particulate matter
and ozone in the atmosphere. The pollution from these 21 coal units contributes to at least 435
premature deaths from air pollution each year. In addition, dirty emissions from these plants
contribute to an estimated 5,400 asthma attacks and 173 heart attacks per year.5 Reducing air
pollution from these plants will significantly reduce the health burden they place on
surrounding communities, many already overburdened by pollution, and regions.
Replacing these coal plants with clean energy will drive over $45 billion in clean energy
investment and deliver jobs
These aging coal plants are increasingly uneconomic compared to renewable energy resources,
which have seen significant and sustained cost reductions in recent years. In many cases, clean
energy portfolios that provide the same electricity output and capacity value as a coal plant
may be less costly than the cost of necessary retrofits and continued operations of those coal
plants. In fact, our preliminary, internal analyses indicate that for most of the coal units at
issue, retiring and replacing these plants with clean energy resources would lower costs and
emissions, relative to investing additional capital in these aging and already expensive fossil
generation resources.
Finally, replacing the 21 coal units with cost-saving portfolios of clean energy resources would
result in over $45 billion in investment, including approximately 22 GW of solar, 10 GW of
wind, and 11 GW of energy storage. These investments can deliver economic benefits to rural
communities6, including local tax revenues, income for landholders, and an estimated 300,000
cumulative job-years over a 15 year time horizon.7 These much needed economic development
benefits will support communities as they transition away from coal.
7 Calculation based on average job-years per MW and investment per MW for solar, wind and storage from the UC
Berkeley, Energy Innovation and Gridlab “2035 Report”.

https://www.tollfromcoal.org/#/map/(title:none//detail:none//map:none/US).Pro-rated from plant-level to
unit-level proportionally using total NOx and SO2 emissions.
4 Based on 2019 NOx and SO2 emissions rates per MMBtu. Assuming fully controlled units have a NOx emissions
rate of 0.05 lbs/MMBtu and SO2 emissions rate of 0.06 lbs/MMBtu, and that units in Texas and Nebraska control
SO2 emissions while plants in Utah and Wyoming control NOx emissions.

Public Engagement
Public engagement on regional haze has been robust and longstanding. Since 2016, Sierra Club
members and supporters have submitted more than 108,000 individual comments to state and
federal agencies requesting stronger NOx pollution controls be installed on the coal plants
listed in this memo. The National Parks Conservation Association has extensively worked on
and led regional haze advocacy to engage tens of thousands of residents calling for strong
action to address Utah’s haze pollution since the beginning of Round 1 planning. Together, our
groups formed a coalition of more than 200 businesses from Utah, Colorado, and Arizona that
raised their voices to decry the effects of uncontrolled NOx emissions from regional sources,
like Hunter and Huntington, and called on EPA to ensure pollution reduction.
In 2015, the National Park Service, including Superintendents from Arches, Canyonlands, Zion,
Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef National Parks, identified these coal plants as the largest
contributors to visibility impairment in regional Class I areas and called on EPA to require NOx
reductions. Over the years, local municipal and county elected officials from National Park
gateway communities have made personal appeals to EPA leadership to require pollution
controls and clean up the skies and views their communities rely on for economic
development. As recent as last month, a County Commissioner in Utah renewed those calls8.
And still, these coal plants remain uncontrolled.
Recommendations
The Regional Haze Rule’s BART requirement for Texas, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, and
Pennsylvania is nearly fifteen years overdue. Because those states have refused to comply with
the Clean Air Act’s mandate, EPA must finally complete the BART process from the first
planning period and put these important obligations to rest. In our letter, we proposed a
nationwide rulemaking to be completed as expeditiously as possible that would fully correct all
deficiencies and satisfy the remaining first round regional haze obligations in the five states.
We are also open to other options that would quickly achieve the same goal. Either way,EPA
must finally ensure that all states have fully complied with the Clean Air Act’s Regional
Haze Rule’s BART requirements for the first round and require emission reductions to
achieve reasonable progress towards the national goal of restoring natural visibility to
America’s treasured Class I national parks and wilderness areas.
The actions of the Biden Administration on these five outstanding state regional haze
requirements are of consequence even beyond the sharp reductions they must produce. With
8 “Sarah Stock: Regional Haze Rule is important for our community and must be enforced to do the most good,”
Salt Lake Tribune, October 21, 2021.
https://www.sltrib.com/opinion/commentary/2021/10/21/sarah-stock-regional-haze/
4
all state regional haze plans in the midst of the planning and implementation process for the
second round, actions on these outstanding obligations will inform the Administration’s regard
and approach for standards to ensure reasonable progress for emission reductions in all states.
EPA, in its July 2021 Clarification Memo on Regional Haze made plain that it expects states'
haze plans for the second planning period to result in meaningful, additive reductions in SO2
and NOx pollution by 2028. Thousands upon thousands of tons of haze pollution remain
unchecked at facilities of all kinds, and at coal-fired power plants in particular. We urge the
Biden Administration to act swiftly on our request to resolve the five state round 1 BART
obligations once and for all and send a clear signal to all states that the agency is taking the
mandate of this Clean Air Act program seriously.

To: KC Becker, Region 8 Administrator, EPA
From:City of Moab
Subject:Clean Air Act Regional Haze Program
Date:February 8, 2022
The City of Moab requests the EPA require the Hunter and Huntington coal power plants to comply with
emissions reductions consistent with the best-available retrofit technology determined by the 2016
Federal Implementation Plan as per the Clean Air Act’s Regional Haze Program Round 1 requirements.
This plan would cut haze-causing nitrogen-oxide emissions by 76% from Utah’s two major coal plants,
and would support the Biden administration’s stated interests in climate change action and clean energy
development, and in addition to cleaning up the air for our community, our visitors, and our national
parks.
Moab is the gateway community to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, in addition to miles of
world-renowned trails providing recreation opportunities for over three million national and international
visitors per year. We have unparalleled desert vistas which are a national treasure. The eye can only see as
far as the air is clear, however, and haze from air pollution has detrimental effects on not only the views,
but our community’s health and safety as well. There is an opportunity already in place to prevent a
majority of this air pollution, the EPA only needs to support it. The 2016 Federal Implementation Plan
lays out a cost-effective route to decrease pollution from the two large coal plants in our region, and over
106,600 people have already submitted comments in support of pollution controls as per this plan.
The City of Moab supports the enforcement of the Clean Air Act’s provisions and the installation of
nitrogen oxide pollution controls on the Hunter and Huntington coal plants to protect our clean air. The
Regional Haze Program is designed to return our national parks to natural visibility by 2064. If
coal-powered air pollution is allowed to continue unabated, this goal will never be met. Pacificorp’s 2021
Integrated Resource Plan states that they plan to keep the Huntington plant open until 2036 and the
Hunter plant burning until 2042. This is 14 and 20 years, respectively, of haze-causing air pollution that
could be avoided with the implementation of the 2016 FIP requirements.
Our city was proud to host Region 8 Administrator Sean McGrath in 2015, as the EPA deliberated the
initial Utah round 1 FIP designation. We would like to invite the current Region 8 Administrator, KC
Becker, to visit and listen to the concerns of our community, as this issue deserves careful consideration.
Our City’s economic and public health depend on clean air and clear skies. The EPA has the opportunity
to keep them that way.
Sincerely,

MOAB CITY COUNCIL MINUTES--DRAFT
REGULAR MEETING
March 8, 2022
Moab City Council held its Regular Meeting on the above date. Consistent with provisions of the
Utah Open and Public Meetings Act, the meeting was held electronically. Audio is archived at
www.utah.gov/pmn.
Pre-Council Workshop:
Mayor Joette Langianese called the workshop to order at 4:07 p.m. Video is archived at
www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvIekssUTGc. Councilmembers Rani Derasary, Kalen Jones, Luke
Wojciechowski and Jason Taylor attended remotely. City staff participating included Acting City
Manager Carly Castle, Finance Director and Acting Deputy Manager Ben Billingsley, Planning
Director Cory Shurtleff and Recorder Sommar Johnson.
Active Employment Households (AEH)—Discussion
Planner Shurtleff opened the workshop on Draft Ordinance 2022-05: an Ordinance
Amending the Moab Municipal Code R3/R4 Zones with AEH requirements. Shurtleff addressed
Council questions regarding Resolution 33-2021. Councilmember Derasary asked about
considerations for the R2 zone. Councilmember Jones asked if the ordinance would apply to
subdivisions and Planned Unit Developments (PUDs). The timeline was discussed, including
public notice and public hearings. Shurtleff described ordinance amendments including Chapter
17.64 which deals with AEH definitions, permitting and enforcement; he reviewed details of
multi-household dwellings and AEH occupancy requirements. Robert Keller of Snow
Christensen & Martineau brought up legal issues regarding enforcement provisions. Aaron
Nousaine of BAE Urban Economics presented data to be considered when determining the
required share of housing for workforce needs, both Citywide and in the R3/R4 zones.
Councilmember Jones brought up the Assured Housing Study (AHS) of 2017 and questioned the
“commuter share” that implied workers camping on public lands and noted the City goal to
ensure safe and decent housing for the workforce. Councilmember Derasary asked about the
scope of work and rates for BAE’s contract and about updating the AHS. Planner Shurtleff
suggested removing enforcement from the pending ordinance. He was asked about the costs of
implementing the ordinance. Councilmember Jones brought up exaction and financial
feasibility for individual developers, including the challenge of determining if the impact on
developers was commensurate with the development’s impact on the City. The characteristics of
the R3 and R4 zones were discussed in terms of the intention for full time residents to populate
the zones. Parking changes were discussed along with developments with more than seven units
rather than more than three. Councilmember Taylor asked about the exclusion of garages in
front of the dwelling units and Councilmember Derasary brought up the scope of safety
considerations being addressed by the ordinance. Discussion of potential litigation ensued.
Regular Meeting Attendance and Call to Order:
Mayor Langianese called the meeting to order at 6:04 p.m. Councilmembers Tawny Knuteson-
Boyd, Derasary, Jones, Wojciechowski and Taylor attended remotely. City staff in attendance
included Acting City Manager Castle, Finance Director and Acting Deputy Manager Billingsley,
Human Resource Director Dani Guerrero, Engineer Chuck Williams, City Attorney Nathan
Bracken and Recorder Johnson. Video is archived at www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEpvl8F-l1o.
Citizens To Be Heard:
Travis Clark spoke about a residence on Arches Drive that housed 28 people. He said it was a
catastrophe. He said it was a commercial-type operation and not a bed and breakfast. He
Page 2 of 4
March 8, 2022
acknowledged the need for employee housing but expressed outrage that this has happened. He
indicated his home value depreciated and parking was an issue.
Jack Wynn concurred with Mr. Clark regarding the residence on Arches Drive. He said it was the
wrong place for a large employee housing development. He called it a corporate bunkhouse, and
stated it sanctioned discrimination and should be in the commercial zone.
Consent Agenda—Approved

Discussion: Finance Director and Acting Deputy Manager Billingsley described the need to
codify procedures for the disposal of small parcels of land owned by the City. He said the
proposed ordinance was recommended by the City’s attorney and was in the public interest.

Billingsley brought up the threshold for parcels deemed significant. Councilmember Knuteson-
Boyd said it was reasonable and defensible and she was fine with it.
Motion and Vote: Councilmember Jones moved to approve Ordinance 2022-04, which
defines a significant parcel of real property as a property that exceeds ($100,000) in fair market
value, is (1) acre or larger, or is set aside for, or used as, a public recreation area. Councilmember
Derasary seconded the motion. The motion passed 5-0 aye with Councilmembers Jones,

regarding the sale of a parcel adjacent to residential property at 388 East 100 South. He said the
site plan process should have identified the 0.04-acre parcel belonging to the City. The adjacent
property owner was selling his residence and hoped for a quitclaim at closing.
Motion and Vote: Councilmember Knuteson-Boyd moved to approve Proposed Resolution
09-2022: a Resolution Authorizing the Sale of a Remnant Parcel of Real Property.

Five-Year Transit Pilot Project Budget—Approved
Discussion: Engineer Williams presented background on the transit pilot project which
includes funding from the Federal Transportation Administration and the American Rescue
Plan Act (FTA ARPA) and presented a proposed alternative budget that would include a fixed
route as well as micro-transit van service. Williams stated the City would hire a part-time
employee to coordinate the program and a vendor would provide the service. The proposed fixed
route was described as running along Highway 191 from the north side of the Colorado River
Bridge to the Old Spanish Trail Arena. Hours and overlap of the two services were discussed.

appropriate Contract Documentation as needed. Councilmember Taylor seconded the motion.

Wojciechowski voting aye.
Walnut Lane Public-Private Partnership Request for Proposals (RFP)—Approved
Discussion: Acting City Manager Castle reviewed alternatives regarding the Walnut Lane
affordable housing project, including issuance of an RFP to engage a developer for a public-
private partnership (PPP) as the possible next step. Councilmember Jones brought up the
specter of required staffing and the difficulty of competing with private sector employers.
Finance Director and Acting Deputy Manager Billingsley described staff involvement. Selling the
property was discussed as an alternative. Councilmember Knuteson-Boyd suggested that
issuance of an RFP would not commit the City and the property could still be sold with deed
restrictions in the future. Councilmember Taylor concurred that the PPP option could be
explored before moving on. Councilmember Jones stated his skepticism regarding the PPP
option and suggested selling the property because of the lengthy process and lack of staff
resources. Councilmember Derasary requested staff to inform residents of the process. She also
asked about the cost of issuance of an RFP and expressed appreciation of Councilmember Jones’
point of view. Councilmember Wojciechowski stated that selling the property was the least
palatable option and displacement of residents is a problem. He cited human costs and the
impact on the community because there was no re-housing option. He said he was open to
developing partnerships with local nonprofits.
Motion and Vote: Councilmember Knuteson-Boyd moved to direct staff to publish an RFP to
solicit developers for proposals to enter into a public private partnership for the development of
the Walnut Lane Apartments. Councilmember Taylor seconded the motion. The motion passed
4-1 aye with Councilmembers Derasary, Taylor, Knuteson-Boyd and Wojciechowski voting aye
and Councilmember Jones voting nay.

Moab City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: March 22nd, 2022
Title:Landscaping Code Updates
Presenter:Mila Dunbar-Irwin
Attachment(s):Memo from Western Resource Advocates
Recommended Motion: N/A, Discussion and Direction
Background/Summary:
The Council has seen a presentation on the possible landscaping code updates from
WaterNOW and Western Resource Advocates. These have since been presented and
discussed by Planning Commission and the Water Conservation and Drought Management
Board. At this time, staff requests direction from Council in choosing which approach to
take forward.
The main questions are as follows:
1)Which approach do you like best – Water Budget? Standards? A combination of the
two?
2)Are there any standards you are wholeheartedly in favor of and would like to see
move forward?
3)Are there any standards you are wholeheartedly against and would like to see struck
from the list?
The Planning Commission discussion ended with a general agreement (not unanimous)
around the water budget approach (#7), with the addition of hydrozones, a plant list as a
guideline, irrigation system requirements, and some kind of turf limits. They felt the
minimum plant material requirement would be too high and advised to strike it. Mulch was
considered likely too expensive and unnecessary.
The Water Board concluded that they were also in favor of the water budget approach, with
the addition of a maintenance requirement, hydrozones, and a plant list (including known
problematic and prohibited plants as well as recommended). They did not find any
particularly problematic from a cost perspective and also recommended lowering the
minimum living plant material requirement and allowing any amount of turf as long as it fit
within the water budget for residential, but keeping a 200sf maximum for commercial. The
Water Board also recommended striking a requirement for ground cover for residential
properties, but keeping it for commercial. They were, as a whole, in favor of strict
requirements for commercial properties and none / minimal requirements for residential.
They also wanted to note that they felt it would be more prudent to wait to adopt anything
until the County is aligned and ready to adopt their own ordinance via the proposed
discussion with the management group.
Staff is supportive of the recommendations from the Water Board and Planning
Commission, and propose a tiered approach according to levels of development. For
developments under 2,000sf, staff recommend easy-to-design requirements such as turf
limits, waterwise plants, and hydrozones, with any of those being allowed to change if the
applicant chooses the water budget approach instead to allow for more flexibility. For
developments between 2,000sf and 8,000sf staff recommend the water budget approach in
combination with the other recommended requirements. For developments over 8,000sf
staff recommend requiring a robust water budget analysis, decreasing allowable turf, and
including the recommended requirements from the other two categories.
These development levels correspond to current Planning Department requirements for
various permits. It is staffs’ opinion that this approach would not create an overly onerous
demand on staff time and the added burden could be shared between the Sustainability
Department and Planning / Building / Engineering. The Water Budget approach with some
additional requirements seems to be the most streamlined for review purposes, while still
achieving water conservation goals.
However, any of the recommendations are well-founded in science, practical examples from
other communities, and best practices in Moab, and any combination of the recommended
standards would be a benefit to the landscape regulations currently in place.

MEMO: City of Moab Water Efficient Landscaping Standards Draft Recommendations
TO: Moab City Council & Planning Commission
FROM: Lindsay Rogers & John Berggren, Western Resource Advocates & Victoria Arling,
WaterNow Alliance
DATE: February 16, 2022
Executive Summary
In August 2021, WaterNow Alliance (WaterNow) and Western Resource Advocates (WRA) launched a
Project Accelerator with the City of Moab to provide pro-bono support in updating the City’s zoning
code to include water wise landscaping and irrigation efficient standards. This memo presents 11
potential recommendations for updating Moab’s landscaping standards in the City’s zoning code that we
feel would be reasonable for developers and landscapers to undertake and feasible for City staff to
implement. These proposed recommendations would apply to some (or all) types of new development
and redevelopment.
The recommendations are based on research conducted by WaterNow and WRA on water wise
landscaping standards implemented in 10 communities throughout the West. This research – which
included a number of options for updating landscaping standards to prioritize water efficiency - was
vetted through a variety of avenues, including a presentation and discussion with Moab’s Water
Conservation & Drought Management Board, conversations with City staff, and interviews with key local
stakeholders. Local stakeholders included: Jeffrey Adams with Terra Sophia; Eric Floor and Tara Stoner
with EcoLogic; Kara Dohrenwend with Wildland Scapes; Roslynn Brain McCann with Utah State
University Extension; Rikki Epperson with Community Rebuilds; and Orion Rogers with Southeast Utah
Health Department. Stakeholders were asked to consider, in particular, any financial, capacity, material
availability, or other barriers that could arise from a given recommendation.
Based on this feedback, and additional research into other western community’s landscape regulations,
these 11 potential recommendations were drafted. Each recommendation outlined below includes a
justification (with stakeholder feedback), current City standards, recommended code update, supporting
code language/examples of potential modifications, and any related supporting resources. In addition,
there are 3 recommendations for educational or best management practices the City could pursue. The
11 recommendations include:
1. Living Plant Material: Require 25% living plant material at maturity in the landscaped area for all
development types and require 50% living plant material in high-visibility, commercial
development
2. Non-Living Permeable Groundcover: Allow up to 75% of landscaped area to be non-living,
permeable materials (e.g., organic mulches, gravel, decorative pavement); for high visibility,
commercial areas, allow up to 50% of landscaped areas to be non-living permeable
groundcover.
3. Turf Limits: For all residential development, require that turf areas shall: (a) be limited to areas
with suitable shade; (b) not be allowed in spaces narrower than 10 feet wide; (c) not be used in
more than 10% of total landscaped area or a maximum of 200 square feet of turf; (d) not be
2
allowed on slopes greater than 33%; and HOAs may not mandate the installation of turf on
residential properties. For commercial properties, retain current standards.
4. Plant List: All plant materials must be selected from the City’s approved Plant List, which is
organized by non-irrigated/very low, low, medium and high water use plants.
5. WaterWise Plants Requirement: A minimum of 50% of living plant material must be selected
from the non-irrigated/very low or low water use category of the City’s Approved Plant List.
6. Hydrozones: Plants are to be hydrozoned with plants of a similar hydrozone. Plants with a very
low hydrozone are not to be planted in a moderate to high hydrozone. Irrigation shall be
hydrozoned, grouping similar water demands by irrigation zone.
7. Landscape Water Budget: The total irrigation water need for all hydrozones cannot exceed a
Maximum Applied Water Budget of 15 gallons/season/sq-ft (24in/season) of irrigated landscape
area unless special features are included. Special features include: protected native vegetation
areas, ecological restoration areas, bioretention areas, non-irrigated permeable areas,
stormwater conveyance infrastructure, and graywater systems.
8. Mulch: Organic mulch must be applied at a depth of 4 inches, 1 cubic yard per 80 sq ft; inorganic
mulch including gravel, river rock, and crushed rock must be applied at a depth of 2 inches.
Because mulching can limit the successful propagation of some native plants, native plants are
exempt from these mulching requirements.
9. Irrigation System Criteria: For commercial and large-scale developments: (a) smart irrigation
controllers are required; (b) dedicated landscape water meters/submeters must be installed for
all non-residential landscapes greater than 5,000 sq-ft; (c) the irrigation system must be
designed to prevent runoff, low head drainage, overspray and other similar conditions; (d)
minimum pop-up height for sprinklers in turf grass shall be 6 inches; (e) check valves or anti-
drain valves are required on all sprinkler heads; (f) operating pressure at each emission device
must be within the manufacturer’s recommended pressure range; (g) sprinklers within a zone
must have matched precipitation rates; (h) a pressure regulation valve shall be installed and
maintained by the consumers; (i) overhead irrigation shall not be permitted within 24 inches of
any non-permeable surface.
10. Fire Wise Landscaping: For all developments in the wildland urban interface: Avoid fire prone
plant materials and highly flammable mulches; plant widely-spaced, low growing, non-resinous
shrubs 2-3 feet away from the house; if planting new trees, plant small maturing ones at least 15
feet away from structures.
11. Maintenance: All irrigation systems must be maintained including backflow assembly testing,
leak repair, head adjustment, etc.; all replacement plants shall conform to the city’s plant list
and landscaping standards; recommended turf mowing height is 3 ½ inches.
It is important to note that this list of 11 potential recommendations is not intended to be adopted in
whole; that is, this is a menu of options from which the City could select certain recommendations to
explore. Most notably, there are two broad categories to consider when making those selections, driven
primarily by the selection of a water budget allowance approach or not. If the #7: Water Budget
Allowance approach is selected, that would impact which of the other recommendations are still
applicable. A water budget approach would NOT include #5: Low Water Plant Requirements or #3: Turf
Limits residential limitation of 10% or 200 square feet. If a water budget approach were not selected,
those recommendations could still be considered.

Finally, Attachment A is a Landscape Water Budget Allowance Worksheet, which presents how the #7:
Water Budget Allowance recommendation (Maximum Applied Water Budget of 15 gallons/season/sq-ft
(24in/season) of irrigated landscape area) was developed.
Draft Recommendations for Updating Landscape Standards
1. Living Plant Material
a. Justification
i. While requiring living plants doesn’t necessarily help reduce landscape water
demand, a living plant material minimum standard can be important for
landscaping aesthetics, reduced heat island effect, and pollinator habitat, among
other benefits. Stakeholders expressed support for a living plant minimum,
though they noted the example code language from other communities (50% or
75%) was likely too high for Moab’s desert landscaping aesthetic.
b. Current Standards
i. Residential: No living plant material requirement. At least seventy percent of the
area contained within a required front or side yard adjacent to a street in any
residential or residential-agricultural zone shall be landscaped.
ii. Developments over 30,000 sq ft: At least 5% living plant material other than
groundcover or natural vegetation; no more than 80% living ground cover.
c. Recommended Code Update
i. Require 25% minimum living plant material at maturity in the landscaped area
including shrubs, perennials, ornamental grasses, groundcover plants, and turf
grasses in all development types.
ii. Require 50% minimum living plant material at maturity in the landscaped area
for high-visibility, commercial areas including - but not limited to - street frontage
landscapes, buffers, and parking lot perimeter landscapes.
iii. Artificial trees, shrubs, plants, and artificial turf are prohibited.
d. Supporting Code Language
i. 50% minimum living materials including shrubs, perennials, ornamental grasses,
groundcover plants, and turf grasses. (Aurora, CO)
ii. For Street frontage landscapes, buffers, and parking lot perimeter landscapes –
75% of the area must be live vegetation. (Grand Junction, CO)
2. Non-living Permeable Groundcover
a. Justification
i. It’s important to strike a balance between non-living groundcover and living
plant material. Allowing for a greater percentage of non-living ground cover
could have the effect of reducing landscape water demand. Stakeholders were
generally supportive of this recommendation and wanted to see the living and
non-living percentages add up to 100% for clarity.
b. Current Standards
i. Residential: None
4
ii. Developments over 30,000 sq ft: Permeable non-living ground cover shall have a
maximum coverage of 20%.
c. Recommended Code Update
i. For all development types except high visibility, commercial areas: Allow up to
75% of landscaped area to be non-living, permeable materials including river
rock, crushed rock, organic mulches such as shredded bark, gravel, cobbles,
walks, decorative pavement, or other non-living materials for all development
types.
ii. For high visibility, commercial areas: Allow up to 50% of landscaped areas to be
non-living permeable groundcover.
d. Supporting Code Language
i. Allows up to 50% non-living materials including river rock, crushed rock, organic
mulches such as shredded bark, gravel, cobbles, walks, decorative pavement,
and artificial turf or other non-living materials. (Aurora, CO)
ii. Allows up to 25 percent of the area required to be landscaped may be covered
with mulch, pavers, decorative concrete (Thornton, CO)
3. Turf Limits
a. Justification
i. High water use, non-essential turf limitations are potentially the most important
standard we can implement to reduce landscape water demand. Given Moab’s
desert climate, the irrigation demands for turf are significant, so any reductions
in the amount of new turf being installed will have large water savings.
Currently, there are no limits on turf for residential development. Some form of
turf limits were strongly supported by all stakeholders interviewed for this
project.
b. Current Standards
i. Residential: None
ii. Developments over 30,000 sq ft:
● Turf areas shall be limited to areas with suitable shade and shall not be
allowed in spaces narrower than ten feet wide.
● Turf shall not be used in more than ten percent of total landscape area,
and should be located in places where people will use it.
● Areas with a slope greater than thirty-three percent shall be landscaped
with deep rooting, water conserving plants for erosion control and soil
stabilization. (Ch. 17.80.070)
c. Recommended Code Update
i. Retain existing standards for large developments
ii. For all residential development, adopt the standards below:
● Turf areas shall be limited to areas with suitable shade from buildings or
trees and shrubs at maturity.
● Shall not be allowed in spaces narrower than ten feet wide.
5
● Shall not be used in more than 10% of total landscaped area or a
maximum of 200 square feet of turf, whichever is greater. (Note: this
requirement could be removed if water budget approach is adopted)
● Turf is not allowed on slopes greater than 33%.
● Homeowners Associations may not mandate the installation of turf on
residential properties.
d. Supporting Code Language
i. Lawn or turf area shall not exceed 10 percent of the overall landscape area of a
project site (Sedona, AZ)
ii. The installation of new turf in residential front yards is prohibited; Turf is not an
allowable plant material within public or private common open space unless it
meets the definition of “usable”. (For example, they’re defined as non-usable as
medians, streetscapes, parking lots, entryways, and perimeter landscaping).
(Henderson, NV)
iii. Turf is not allowed on slopes greater than 25% when oriented towards
hardscape (Sacramento, CA)
iv. Any HOA governing documents… are void and unenforceable if they: Require
the use of turf in landscape areas less than 8 feet wide or require turf in other
areas that exceed 35% of the landscaped area; or prohibit the use of water-
conserving plants as a group. (Jordan Valley WCD, UT)

i. Utah State University Cooperative Extension “Water-Wise Landscaping: Practical
Turfgrass Areas”

4. Plant List
a. Justification
i. There is an increasingly critical need to conserve water in the arid west, provide
habitat for local animals within the urban environment, and create a more
sustainable landscape system through the use of adapted plant materials. A
plant list can be used to address these environmental concerns by encouraging
or requiring certain low water, native plant species and to categorize plant
species by their water use. The stakeholders interviewed expressed general
interest and support of the City of Moab developing and maintaining a
comprehensive plant list, as it would include plants appropriate to Moab’s
unique climate and would give landscapers the flexibility to select a variety of
plants based on what is available in the list.
b. Current Standards
i. Residential: None
ii. Large Scale Developments over 30,000 sq ft: None.
iii. RC Resort Commercial Zone: Screening Plant List: Plants used to satisfy any
required screening standards shall be limited plants with a mature height of
between six and fifteen feet and foliage. For reference to appropriate plants and
6
trees see the publication Urban & Community Forest: A Guide for interior
Western United States, Department of Agriculture, 1990. (Ch. 17.31.050)
c. Recommended Code Update
i. For All Development Types: All plant material must be selected from the City’s
Approved Plant List. The plant list is categorized by non-irrigated/very-low, low,
medium, and high water use plants.
ii. Installation of plants that are not on the approved list must be pre-approved by
the City and are up to the discretion of the Planning Director.
iii. Pursuant to the Utah Noxious Weed Act, Section 7, no plants shall be planted
from the Grand County Noxious Weeds List (Available here:
https://www.grandcountyutah.net/168/Noxious-Weeds)
iv. Note: The City could either adopt and maintain its own plant list or borrow from
other communities or potentially a state-maintained list.
d. Examples of Potential Modifications
i. The required plant list features plants that are considered water-wise or low
water use plants, unless listed as riparian; includes three categories: native,
adaptive, and riparian plants. (Sedona, AZ)
ii. Plant material must be selected from Town’s approved plant list; plant materials
meet or exceed the plant quality and species standards of the American
Standard for Nursery Stock. (Castle Rock, CO)

5. Water Wise Plants Requirements
a. Justification
i. Water wise and native plants typically have significantly lower water demand
than turfgrass and other high water use plants. There are also many associated
benefits to using water wise and native plants such as providing pollinator
habitat, being fire resistant, being lower maintenance, and providing functional,
attractive landscapes. Stakeholders interviewed generally agree that
landscaping code updates should include requirements for water wise plants
and not native plants. It would be disadvantageous to require a standard for
native plants as many plants native to Moab (i.e., cottonwood trees) are not low
7
water use. Additionally, there are many non-native, low water use plants that
are well suited to Moab’s climate that would otherwise be restricted in this
native plant requirement.
b. Current Standards
i. Residential: None
ii. Large Scale Developments over 30,000 sqft: Plant Materials and Landscape
Design Standards. 1. Plants selected for landscape areas shall consist of plants
that are well suited to the microclimate and soil conditions at the project site.
(Ch 17.80.070)
iii. RC Resort Commercial Zone: i. Use of locally appropriate shrubs, trees and
grasses or plants with low-water demand characteristics is encouraged, but not
required, in all cases in order to minimize the consumption of water. (Ch
17.31.050)
c. Recommended Code Update
i. For All Development Types: A minimum of 50% of living plant material must be
selected from the non-irrigated/very low or low water use category of the City’s
Approved Plant List.
ii. Remove RC Resort language above from code as it would be contradictory to
the recommended code update.
d. Supporting Code Language
i. Adopt current standards for all development types in WUI
ii. A minimum of 50 percent of the plants on a development site shall be native
species identified in the Administrative Manual (Sedona, AZ)
iii. Minimum three tree varieties and five shrub varieties shall be provided for each
project selected from the plant list. (Henderson, NV)
iv. Water-wise landscaping is required on all development, private or public, in
recognition of our semi-arid climate and limited amount of water available for
outdoor uses. (Thornton, CO)
6. Hydrozones
a. Justification
i. Hydrozones allow for proper, efficient irrigation. Hydrozones means grouping
plants in the landscape according to categories based on their water usage (ex.
non-irrigated, water-conserving, and non-water conserving); and these plants
are served by a valve or set of valves with the same irrigation schedule.
Stakeholders interviewed were generally interested and supportive of
integrating hydrozone standards into the landscape code in conjunction with
the water budget approach and plant list. Local nurseries in Moab already
categorize plants by very low, low, medium, and high water use and which
complements this code requirement.
b. Current Standards
i. Residential: None
8
ii. Large Developments Over 30,000 sqft: Plant Materials and Landscape Design
Standards. Plants with similar water needs shall be grouped together as much as
possible. (Ch 17.80.070)
c. Recommended Code Update
i. For All Development Types: Plants are to be hydrozoned with plants of a similar
hydrozone (for example, low with low; very low with very low). Plants with a
very low hydrozone are not to be planted in a moderate to high hydrozone.
ii. Irrigation shall be hydrozoned, grouping similar water demands by irrigation
zone.
d. Supporting Code Language
i. Plants are to be hydrozoned with plants of a similar hydrozone (for example,
low with low; very low with very low). Plants of a very low hydrozone are not to
be planted in a moderate to high hydrozone. (Castle Rock, CO)
ii. All non-single-family landscapes must be divided into water conserving (non-
turf), non-water conserving (turf), and non-irrigated areas (e.g., pavement). A
separate hydrozone plan is required for submittal with the landscape plan.
(Aurora, CO)
iii. Each valve shall irrigate a landscape with similar site, slope and soil conditions
and plant materials with similar watering needs. Turf and non-turf areas shall
be irrigated on separate valves. Drip emitters and sprinklers shall be placed on
separate valves. (JVWCD, UT)
e. Supporting Resources
i. Definitions:
● Hydrozone: A group of plants with the same water use classification and
microclimate assigned to a single irrigation valve. Plants should be
grouped and planted in separate hydrozones due to factors such as:
Plant water use classification; root depth; microclimate (sun, shade,
wind, heat); slope and elevation; soil type; irrigation emission devices
with different application rates; summer-dry adapted plants should be
on a different hydrozone to those that require more summer moisture
(QWEL Reference Manual).

7. Landscape Water Budget
a. Justification:
i. A landscape water budget limits the overall amount of water that can be applied
to a given landscape during the irrigation season. Stakeholders have been
overwhelmingly supportive of this recommendation as a way to reduce
landscape water demand while allowing for flexibility in what can be installed in
the landscape.
b. Current Standards: None
c. Recommended Code Update
i. All irrigated landscaped areas must be included in the water budget calculation.
See Appendix for details regarding the Maximum Applied Water Budget
calculation.
ii. The total irrigation water need for all hydrozones cannot exceed a Maximum
Applied Water Budget of 15 gallons/season/sq-ft (24in/season) of irrigated
landscape area unless special features are included.
iii. Special features include:
● Non-irrigated protected native vegetation areas
● Ecological restoration projects
● Bioretention areas
● Non-irrigated permeable areas
● Stormwater conveyance infrastructure (vegetated swales)
● Graywater applied to the landscape (% based on % living plant material
primarily watered with graywater)
iv. If any combination of the special feature areas totals to at least 5% of the total
irrigated hydrozone area, then the Maximum Applied Water Budget increases to
16 gallons/season/sq-ft. If any combination of the special feature areas totals to
at least 10% of the total irrigated hydrozone area, then the Maximum Applied
Water Budget increases to 17 gallons/season/sqft.
v. Active rainwater catchment systems, including rain barrels or cisterns, are also
incentivized in the calculation through a reduced overall irrigation water need.
d. Examples of Potential Modifications
i. Require all proposals to calculate water demand of all landscapable areas
according to a water usage table; no water budget limit (Aurora, CO)
ii. Require water budget calculations that include an estimated total water use
that does not exceed the calculation for the site’s maximum applied water
allowance (Sacramento, CA)
iii. The total irrigation water need for all hydrozones cannot exceed a Maximum
Applied Water Budget of 7.5 gallons/season/sq-ft of irrigated landscape area
unless special features are included (e.g. green stormwater infrastructure,
graywater) (Aspen, CO)

iii. City of Moab Precipitation Date: https://wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?ut5733
8. Mulch
a. Justification:
i. Proper mulching provides many benefits to landscapes, including reducing soil
evaporation and moisture loss, moderating soil temperatures, providing weed
control, and improving landscape aesthetics. Some of the stakeholders
interviewed expressed concern about the availability of organic mulch in Moab,
but also noted that any requirements would create market demand. One
stakeholder described organic mulch from arborists as relatively easy to acquire.
b. Current standards: None
c. Recommended Code Update
i. For all development types, require organic mulch be applied at a depth of 4
inches, 1 cubic yard per 80 sq ft; inorganic mulch including gravel, river rock,
and crushed rock must be applied at a depth of 2 inches.
ii. Because mulching can limit the successful propagation of some native plants, it
is recommended that native plants be exempt from these mulching
requirements.
d. Examples of Potential Modifications
i. Rock mulch shall be installed and maintained at a minimum depth of 2 inches
and a maximum depth of 4 inches on all planted areas except where
groundcover plants are fully established. (Henderson, NV)
ii. Organic mulch applied at depth of 4 inches, 1 cubic yard per 80 sq ft; inorganic
mulch applied at a depth of 2 inches. (Castle Rock, CO)

9. Irrigation System Criteria
a. Justification
i. Irrigation system design and installation is critical because even the most water
wise landscaping won’t save water if it’s not being irrigated efficiently and
effectively. For example, MP rotator nozzle heads are significantly more efficient
in applying water to the landscape compared to more traditional spray nozzles,
especially in windy areas like Moab. The stakeholders interviewed expressed
interest in irrigation system criteria requirements, but were concerned about
having requirements for residential properties.
b. Current standards:
i. Residential: None
ii. Large developments over 30,000 sq-ft:
● A detailed irrigation plan shall be drawn to the same scale as the
landscape plan and shall contain the following information:
11
a. Layout of irrigation system and summary legend outlining the
type and size of all components of the system, including
manufacture name and model number with approved equals;
and
b. Flow rate in gallons per minute and design operating pressure in
pounds per square inch for each valve and precipitation rate in
inches per hour for each valve with sprinklers. (Ch. 17.80.070)
iii. RC Resort Commercial Zone:
● Irrigation. All required landscaped areas shall include a permanent,
underground irrigation system as defined herein to insure the long-term
health and growth of the landscape. Where possible, irrigation systems
shall utilize untreated, irrigation water instead of treated water.
Irrigation system design shall take into consideration the xeriscape
characteristics of plant materials used. (Ch. 17.31.050)
iv. Recommended Code Update:
● For residential developments: All requirements below are
recommendations.
● For commercial and large-scale developments:
● Smart irrigation controllers labeled by U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s WaterSense Program or with published reports posted on the
Smart Water Application Technologies website are required.
● Dedicated landscape water meters/sub-meters shall be installed for all
non-residential irrigated landscapes of 5,000 sq-ft or more.
● The irrigation system shall be designed to prevent runoff, low head
drainage, overspray, or other similar conditions where irrigation water
flows onto non-targeted areas, such as adjacent property, non-irrigated
areas, hardscapes, roadways, or structures.
● Minimum pop-up height for sprinklers in turfgrass areas shall be six
inches (6”).
● Check valves or anti-drain valves are required on all sprinkler heads.
● The irrigation system shall be designed to ensure that the operating
pressure at each emission device is within the manufacturer’s
recommended pressure range for optimal performance.
● Sprinklers within a zone shall have matched precipitation rates, unless
otherwise directed by the manufacturer’s recommendations. Sprinkler
spacing shall be designed to achieve the highest possible distribution
uniformity using the manufacturer’s recommendations. Spacing must
achieve head-to-head coverage.
● A pressure regulating valve shall be installed and maintained by the
consumer if the static service pressure exceeds 80 pounds per square
inch (psi). The pressure-regulating valve shall be located between the
meter and the first point of water use, or first point of division in the
pipe, and shall be set at the manufacturer's recommended pressure for
the sprinklers.
12
● Overhead irrigation shall not be permitted within 24 inches of any non-
permeable surface. Allowable irrigation within the setback from non-
permeable surfaces may include drip, drip line, or other low flow non-
spray technology. The setback area may be planted or unplanted. The
surfacing of the setback may be mulch, gravel, or other porous material.
c. Examples of Potential Modifications
i. An irrigation construction plan shall graphically depict, and describe through
appropriate notes, an efficient irrigation design; each irrigation zone on the
irrigation construction plan should be designed to water plants with similar
water and environmental requirements. (Thornton, CO)
ii. Specific requirements for irrigation systems including backflow prevention,
pressure regulators, highest possible distribution uniformity, and not permitting
overhead irrigation within 24 inches of non-permeable surfaces. (Sacramento,
CA)
iii. Landscaped areas shall be provided with a WaterSense labeled smart irrigation
controller which automatically adjusts … in response to changing weather
conditions. (JVWCD, UT)

10. FireWise Landscaping Standards
a. Justification:
i. Wildfires present a serious and growing threat to Western communities,
particularly properties at the interface between urban areas and natural open
space. In conversation with stakeholder, it was recommended that Moab
expand firewise landscape regulation for properties in the WUI.
b. Current Standards:
i. Residential: None
ii. Developments over 30,000 sq ft: For projects located at the interface between
urban areas and natural open space non-irrigated, highly drought tolerant
plants shall be selected that will blend with the native vegetation and are fire
resistant or retardant. Plants with low level fuel volume or high moisture
content shall be emphasized. Plants which tend to accumulate excessive
amounts of dead wood or debris shall be avoided.
c. Recommended Code Update:
i. Expand current large development standards to all development types at the
interface between urban areas and natural open space.
ii. For all development in the WUI:
● Avoid fire-prone plant materials and highly flammable mulches. See
appendix for a recommended list of plants.
13
● Plant widely-spaced, low-growing, non-resinous shrubs, 2-3 feet away
from the house. Do not plant directly under windows, vents, or decks.
Do not plant under tree crowns, or use shrubs to screen propane tanks
or firewood piles.
● If planting new trees, plant small-maturing ones, at least 15 feet away
from structures.

11. Maintenance
a. Justification: Effectively maintaining landscapes and irrigation systems is critical to plant
health and water demand management.
b. Current Standards:
i. For residential developments: Required landscaped areas shall be maintained in
a neat, clean, orderly and healthful condition. This is meant to include proper
pruning, mowing lawns, weeding, removal of litter, fertilizing, replacement of
dead plants and the regular watering of all plantings. (Prior code § 27-3-24(B))
ii. For commercial developments: Maintenance Requirements. Landscaped areas
shall be reasonably maintained by the owner or the lessee of the property,
including pruning, trimming, watering, and other requirements necessary to
create an attractive appearance for the development. Lack of maintenance of
required landscaping material shall constitute a violation of this code.
c. Recommended Code Update:
i. Include the replacement and maintenance of irrigation systems including
backflow assembly testing, leak repair, head adjustment, etc.
ii. Include language to specify that all replacement plants shall conform to the
city's current plant list and landscaping standards.
iii. Include a recommended turf mowing height of 3 ½ inches.
d. Supporting Code Language
i. Required maintenance shall include regular watering, pruning, mowing,
fertilizing, clearing of debris and weeds, removal and replacement of dead
plants and repair and replacement of irrigation systems and architectural
features. (Sedona, AZ)
ii. All replacement plants shall conform to the city's current landscaping
standards. (Aurora, CO)
iii. Maintenance requirements must be noted in landscape and irrigation plans.
Irrigation system maintenance includes back flow assembly testing, leak repair,
head adjustment, etc. Turf preferred mowing height is 3 ½ inches. (Castle Rock,
CO)

Educational, Best Management Practice Opportunities
1. Soil Amendment
a. Justification
i. Incorporating compost and other soil amendments into a landscape has
important benefits including: up to 20% water savings, improved plant growth
and increased stormwater retention for the soil, pest suppression and reduced
need for fertilizers. However, stakeholders agreed that a requirement for soil
amendment – which can be difficult to come by in Moab – would present a
financial burden and an enforcement challenge for the City at this time.
b. Current standards: None
c. Examples of Potential Modifications
i. Min. 4 cubic yards of organic matter soil amendment required for turf, trees,
shrubs, perennials and annuals; Soil amendment tilled to min. depth of 6 inches
(Thornton, CO)
ii. Develop exception for native seeds/plants to use 2 cubic yards per 1,000 square
feet (based on research from City of Centennial, CO)
2. Graywater Reuse
a. Justification: Graywater reduces potable water demand by reusing water from
showerheads or washing machines or bathroom sinks in the landscape. While graywater
systems have been incentivized through the water budget allowance, stakeholders
shared that requirements for installing graywater stub-outs would likely be ineffective
since most homeowners would not then install the full system and graywater stubouts
are challenging from a regulatory perspective for Grand County Public Health. Fully
installed graywater systems were considered potentially overly prescriptive as a
mandate.
b. Current standard: No requirements, graywater systems allowed in Grand County per
state statute (R317)
c. Examples of Potential Modifications
i. Incentivize or require graywater in all/some types of new development:
● Graywater included in a landscape water budget allowance
● Graywater stub-out requirement
● Fully installed graywater system required
ii. Landscape Standards Best Practices
● Soil characteristics
● Subsurface irrigation system design
● Mulch basin design
3. Rainwater Capture
a. Justification: Rainwater can also be used to reduce potable water demand by capturing,
holding and releasing collected water to the landscape. While active and passive
rainwater capture is incentivized through the water budget, some stakeholders shared
15
that mandating rainwater capture could be financially burdensome and would
potentially not make a significant difference given Moab’s arid climate.
b. Current standards: No local standards, state statute (73-3-1.5) allows for rain catchment
storage up to 2,500 gallons or up to 100 gallons without registering.
c. Examples of Potential Modifications
i. Incentivize and/or require passive or active rainwater harvesting
● Landscape water budget allowance
● Requiring specific forms of rainwater harvesting on some properties
ii. Landscape Standards Best Practices
● Rain garden / bioswale design
● Rain barrel installation

CITY OF MOAB, UTAH ORDINANCE NO. 2022-05 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE TEXT OF THE MOAB MUNICIPAL CODE (MMC) SECTIONS 17.48 R-3 MULTI- HOUSEHOLD RESIDENTIAL ZONE, AND 17.51 R-4 MANUFACTURED HOUSING RESIDENTIAL ZONE, TO ADD A USE PARAMETER REQUIREMENT TO THE MULTI-HOUSEHOLD PERMITTED USE, SUCH THAT 00% OF UNITS BE DESIGNATED AS ACTIVE EMPLOYMENT UNITS (AEU) TO QUALIFIED ACTIVE EMPLOYMENT HOUSEDHOLDS (AEH)
WHEREAS, the stock of workforce housing in Moab is being replaced by new
townhomes and condominiums that are not affordable for workers employed in
and around Moab who need housing, often because these new homes are being
built for the second home market; and
WHEREAS, persons employed in and around Moab are unable to afford housing
given current wage and housing trends; and
WHEREAS, the cost of housing has risen with median home prices having
increased 22% from last year, from $400,000 to $490,000, which is unaffordable to
most workers given the annual household median income of $52,000; and
WHEREAS, the lack of affordable housing can result in crowding, undesirable
living conditions, lack of funds available for other basic needs, and a decrease in
the quality of life for Moab workers and their families; and
WHEREAS, the supply of rental units available for workforce housing are at an all-
time low; and
WHEREAS, the Moab City Planning Department has received application or
inquiries for numerous multi-household projects on parcels that currently contain
attainable workforce housing that will be removed and replaced by higher-priced
market-rate units that are unaffordable for the Moab area workforce; and
WHEREAS, there are many parcels in Moab that are underutilized and property
owners are selling the properties to developers who intend to remove existing
workforce housing units and replace them with units that are not affordable for
workforce housing; and
WHEREAS, employers in and around Moab are unable to hire employees because
of this lack of affordable workforce housing; and
WHEREAS, the City has adopted the 2016 Moab Area Affordable Housing Plan,
the City and other agencies have implemented many of the Plan's
recommendations, and the City is in the process of reviewing additional barriers to
the construction of housing in the community; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is in support of eliminating barriers to increasing the
inventory of workforce housing; and
WHEREAS, from time to time the City undertakes revisions in its zoning
ordinances to improve the quality of land development and align the Code with
state law and contemporary planning concepts; and
WHEREAS, the Moab Municipal Code Chapter 17.04, Zoning Map Amendments
and Text Amendments, permits the Zoning Text Amendment process to allow
amendments to the use requirements within zoning districts; and
WHEREAS, in order to address the lack of affordable workforce housing, the
Moab City Council formally initiated proceedings to amend the Moab Municipal
Code Section 17.48 R-3 Multi-Household Residential Zone, and 17.51 R-4 Multi-
Household Residential Zone, through Resolution #33-2021, approved October
12, 2021, to specifically evaluate the need for and the use parameters for
requiring a percentage of Active Employment Household Unit occupancy in Multi-
Household Developments; and
WHEREAS, the City has also coordinated and contracted for research by BAE
Urban Economics to analyze and determine the need for a particular percentage
of designated Active Employment Units to be required as a permitted use
parameter in the identified zoning districts in order to address the lack of
affordable workforce housing; and
WHEREAS, the City finds that there is a compelling need for and public purpose
for adopting this Ordinance due to the market conditions and other factors that are
not supplying the needed numbers of affordable housing units for Moab; and
WHEREAS, this process is one of many strategies that have and are being
considered by the City of Moab to address Moab’s workforce housing need; and
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED that the Moab City Council hereby approves
the Text Amendments as follows:
PASSED AND APPROVED in open Council by a majority vote of the Governing
Body of Moab City Council this 00th day of March 2022.

SECTION 4. ADD CHAPTER 17.64 ACTIVE EMPLOYMENT HOUSEHOLDS, AS
FOLLOWS:
17.64.010. Purpose.
Active Employment Household is a defined use parameter, meant to identify
qualified workforce residents, whereby the permitted uses in zoning districts may
include a required designation for Active Employment Units as a part of a development
or qualified occupancy of dwelling property.

1) Active Employment Households shall be regulated by this Chapter 17.64, in addition
to the requirements defined in MMC Chapter 17.06 Definitions, for “Accessory
Dwelling Unit, Type 1”, and “Accessory Dwelling Unit, Type 2”.
2) Active Employment Households and Active Employment Units required as a use
parameter for the permitted use of Multi-Household Dwelling developments shall be
regulated as follows:
a) Not less than zerozero percent (00%) of the number of dwellings approved for
multi-household dwelling developments in the R-3 Multi-Household Residential
Zone and R-4 Manufactured Housing Residential Zone shall be designated or
deed restricted to be Active Employment Units.
b) Active Employment Units shall be:
i) Roughly proportional by number in type (e.g. studio, one bedroom, two
bedroom…) and size (square footage) to the free market units; and
ii) Of a quality, both aesthetically and with respect to the standard construction,
that is not materially different from the free market units.
c) The Active Employment Units shall be ready for occupancy no later than the date
of the initial, or temporary occupancy of any free market units with the project or
applicable phase thereof. If the free-market units are developed in phases, then
the Active Employment Units may be developed in proportion to the phasing of
the free market units (e.g. not less than 00% of the units developed for
occupancy in any phase shall be Active Employment Units).
d) Active Employment Units shall only be occupied by households who qualify as
Active Employment Households.
e) Active Employment Units shall be occupied by Active Employment Households a
minimum of nine (9) months per calendar year in total.
f) Active Employment Units shall not be occupied, rented, leased by Active
Employment Households for less than ninety (90) consecutive days.

Change Sideyard to $25 hr/$200 day to be consistent.
Commented [MM18]: Comments from Annie McVay:
Delete ‘Entire Facility’ ‐we no longer want this as an option.
Commented [MM19]: Comments from Annie McVay:
Eliminate the second category of rates for ‘private parties’
the one that is $35/hour, we don’t utilize it and it’s
confusing.

Moab City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 3/22/22
Title: Maximum Adult Residential Occupancy Discussion
Presenter: Councilmembers Derasary and Jones, staff
Budget Impact: None at this time
Attachment(s): None
Recommended Motion:
None – Discussion only
Background/Summary:
The housing market in Moab is highly competitive. Houses, neighborhoods, and city
codes have developed in response to assumptions about household composition which
may not be as accurate in the future. For example, heretofore unusually large numbers
of adults living in one house, each possibly with their own car. This has been observed or
is feared by some members of the community to have negative impacts related to noise,
nuisances, landscaping, and on-street parking availability. This agenda item is an
opportunity to further assess councilmembers’ desire to manage these impacts, staff to
clarify existing tools, and the practical limitations in using them with current City
resources.
