Hidden Spring RV Resort. There will be a public hearing at the Ivins Planning Commission on Tuesday July 13th starting at 5:30pm. This is early on the agenda.
The Resort will be located on the south side of Hwy 91, between Main Street and 200 W.
The idea for a resort was introduced back in 2015. But due to numerous concerns, it took until September 2016 before an ordinance allowing RV Resorts was approved. The staff report for Tuesday’s meeting notes that, “The layout is basically the same as before.”
It has been a long time since all the original concerns were discussed and an ordinance allowing RV Resorts was approved. So, it would be valuable to review the original concerns to understand whether any differences are problems or not. I have a few concerns, so I’ll be at the meeting.
