Scope and Content
Cedar City planning commission minutes are prefaced by a copy of the city ordinance (1945) creating the commission as authorized by Utah law (Laws of Utah, 1945, chapter 23). The ordinance provides for the appointment of a municipal planning commission to regulate the subdivision of land, monitor building, appoint a board of adjustment and enforce regulations. The Cedar City planning commission has seven members. One is also a member of the city council and another also a member of the board of adjustments. The planning commission is responsible for developing a master plan for the physical development of the city, creating official maps, and approving all subdivisions and public construction. In addition to the date and names of those present, the planning commission minutes include a summary of the planning commission's discussion. Issues addressed include the development of a master plan for Cedar City and the zoning requests of specific individuals and businesses. The planningcommission manages subdivision development and is involved in building or maintaining public institutions like the airport, hospital, and civic center. They are also involved with issues like city traffic and parking, university housing, and day care and pre-school facilities. The planning commission minutes include several petitions and letters, as well as occasional maps.
