Development agreement
In review
Cedar 106 parcels
When Cedar City annexed the land that is now called Cedar 106 in 2006, as part of the Steve Sevy Annexation, the city required 1.2 acre-feet of water rights for each acre annexed. Some of the land arrived with water ("wet"), some partly wet and some dry. Cedar 106, LLC asked to move that water acquisition credit around among the development's residential parcels, and after several years of back-and-forth the city attorney and staff brought an agreement to the council's Oct. 21 work meeting. It reallocates 81.565 acre-feet within the development agreement area, for example 8.41 acre-feet to one R-1 parcel and 23.38 to an R-3-M parcel, and nothing to three commercial parcels. It does not create new water supply. The attorney's memo says he generally opposes moving credit between properties because it is hard to track and could create a market in cheap credits, but he supports this agreement because it stays inside one development-agreement area. The credits would run with the land, and the developer would give up contract claims against the city. The packet copy is unsigned and undated; no approval is recorded yet.

Zone change
In review
Vicinity of 226 N 3325 W
The Oct. 14 Cedar City Council agenda listed a request, brought by Go Civil with Randall McUne, to change the general plan designation of land near 226 North 3325 West from Central Commercial to Business/Light Manufacturing and to rezone it from I&M-2 to I&M-1, both industrial and manufacturing districts. In general, a general plan designation sets the city's long-range intent for an area, while the zoning district sets which uses are allowed today; I&M-1 is the lighter of the two industrial districts. The agenda is the only item-level record found: the packet pages for this item are image scans I could not read reliably, so the parcel, acreage, planning-commission recommendation and any conditions are unconfirmed. The council's action is not in a posted record.

Zone change
In review
Westview Drive and South Mountain Drive
Also on the Oct. 14 Cedar City Council agenda was a request to rezone annexed land near Westview Drive and South Mountain Drive, known as the Bauer Meadows RDO, from the Annexed Transition zone, a placeholder given to newly annexed land, to a mix of single-family (R-1 and R-2-1), two-unit (R-2-2) and multiple-unit (R-3-M) residential zones plus Central Commercial. The agenda names Go Civil and Randall McUne as presenters. No map, acreage or unit count could be read from the packet, and the council's action is not in a posted record. A rezone sets which uses are allowed; subdivision approval and building permits are separate later steps.

Public project
Denied
Cross Hollow Event Center
Cedar City plans a covered outdoor arena at the Cross Hollow Event Center. On Oct. 14, 2026 the council had two separate items on its action agenda: construction bids for the arena, and whether to waive all or part of the arena's impact fees. The agenda names no bidders, amounts or fee figures, and the meeting's memos were not readable in the posted packet, so the bid, any award and the waiver remain separate open questions. Impact fees are charges on new development, so a waiver would shift that cost to the city's other funds; no figure for that is available.
Last action: Denied by the City Council, Wed, Oct 14
Public project
Approved
Cedar City is rehabilitating its Quichapa wells, part of the system that supplies drinking water. Two bids sat on the Oct. 14, 2026 consent agenda: $574,970 from Widdison Well Services and $801,365 from Grimshaw Drilling. The agenda does not say whether they cover separate pieces of work or compete for the same job, so the two amounts should not be added into a project cost. A budget slide in the same packet shows a first-quarter Water Fund adjustment of $1.5 million labeled for a well chlorination system, Quichapa well rehabilitation and power studies, which suggests the bids are part of a larger effort but does not tie any bid to it. Whether the council awarded either contract is not yet in a posted record.
