What Is the Hurricane Planning Commission Deciding Nov. 12? Quick Answer
The Hurricane Planning Commission meets Thursday, Nov. 12, 2026, at 6 p.m. at the Hurricane City Offices, 147 N. 870 W. Five items are on the agenda, and city staff recommend approval of each with conditions:
- Black Ridge Takedown 4: a preliminary plat for 89 single-family lots.
- Tagg N Go: a preliminary site plan for a car wash at 1691 W. State St.
- Maverik Sand Hollow: a 55-foot shared sign near Sand Hollow Road.
- Pecan Valley Resort Phase 3 and SkyRim Phase 3A: amended final plats.
Black Ridge Takedown 4: 89 Lots and a Possible SR-9 Signal
Wasatch Commercial Builders is asking for preliminary plat approval south of Arlington Parkway and west of 1760 West, across from the Zion Vista and Ridge at Zion Vista subdivisions. The agenda heading says 90 lots; the staff report describes 89 single-family lots plus five remainder parcels set aside for community amenities. From the staff report:
- Most lots are planned at about 10,000 square feet. Density is about 2.13 homes per acre including open space, below the six to eight per acre shown on the master plan.
- The Black Ridge development agreement caps the project at 1,886 units. With this plat, 551 are entitled.
- Public Works notes that a traffic signal at 1760 West and SR-9 appears to be warranted.
- The fire department requires a second access before homes are built, and the water department requires waterline looping.
- The rock fall hazard boundary and a notice to owners must be added to the final plat. An earlier development agreement exempts the project from the sensitive lands ordinance, but staff recommend its principles still be followed.
- Final construction drawings will not be approved until the conditions of a power line extension agreement are met.
Tagg N Go Car Wash at 1691 W. State St.
The preliminary site plan puts a Tagg N Go car wash on State Street west of the Dollar Tree. An existing house on the property would be removed. A car wash is a permitted use in the Highway Commercial zone. Staff conditions include:
- A conditional access permit application to UDOT, because the use of the site is changing.
- A traffic impact study looking at a right-turn lane from State Street and the 1760 West intersection with SR-9.
- Meeting the city's water efficiency standards for car washes.
- Relocating a fire hydrant and replacing unused driveways with curb, gutter and sidewalk.
A 55-Foot Maverik Sign Near Sand Hollow Road
Maverik is asking for a 55-foot sign for its new station at Gateway Boulevard and Sand Hollow Road, shared with other businesses in the Gateway at Sand Hollow commercial subdivision. Hurricane's code lets the commission approve signs up to 55 feet for travel services that sit within 1,000 feet of a state highway but lack frontage on it. Staff found the request meets those tests and noted a hotel is also proposed on a parcel to the north. All other signs on the property would stay under 35 feet. The site is on the way to Sand Hollow Resort and the state park.
Pecan Valley and SkyRim Plat Changes
- Pecan Valley Resort Phase 3, Lots 218-221 (5200 W. 2480 S.): lot lines shift inside a ten-plex. Two lots go from 31 to 26 feet wide and two from 26 to 31. The building size does not change.
- SkyRim Phase 3A (Porter Lane and 295 North, DR Horton): adds limited common area, described as backyards, behind the units. Engineering asked for more clarity because units 1 through 5 were also rotated from the earlier plat.
Recent Hurricane Decisions
This meeting follows a busy council night on Nov. 5, which included the 83-acre H Hill purchase and a 2,700-acre SR-7 plan change and the Kachina Ridge sensitive lands hearing. Drivers should also note the Virgin River bridge lane closures and the 100 South closure.
These are administrative items, so the commission's review is limited to whether each application meets city standards. This story will be updated when the outcome is posted.
