Should amendments to the zoning districts in Nephi be adopted?

Those zoning changes will address where various types of day care, preschool, music lessons, and other home-based and stand-alone educational activities may be conducted as either allowed or conditional uses.

A public hearing will be held by Nephi City Council on Tuesday, Dec. 16, at 6:30 p.m. to discuss this and two other proposals.

"We may need to make some changes to come into compliance with state law," said Chad Brough, mayor.

The council will also take public comment on proposed amendments to the descriptions of commercial and industrial zoning districts, addressing where those activities may be permitted.

In addition, the council will consider the rezoning of property owned by Central Valley Medical Center at 1500 North from Main Street to 280 West from Industrial Development (ID) to Combined Use (CU).

"We have been asked to look at the zones where day-care, preschools, music lessons, and home-based educational activities will be allowed and consider re-zoning," said Brough.
