f the house on the right can fit a in a tight space, then the house on the left should be able to add a similar sized home and lot as well. But minimum lot sizes and lot widths prevent it.

Are we actually getting back local consent to waive alcohol license proximity requirements for parks and playgrounds? If SB328 S1 is accepted and approved we will. This has been a long haul to get this even this close. le.utah.gov/~2025/bills/...

“Cities evolve, and zoning doesn't evolve with it at the same pace. So, when you've got more people, more demand, prices go up. Zoning has kind of stolen the freedom & property rights of the individual. Zoning needs to be less restrictive." www-thebuildersdaily-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.theb...

Proximity is only changing on 36 contiguous acres within the point of the mountain development area. So dumb not to give local consent to waive the proximity requirements in urban areas, where a church has to be allowed, striping away adjacent owners property rights.
