Hurricane Planning Commission Meeting Draws 250 People

It was a packed house at the Hurricane City Planning Commission meeting last night. The meeting drew more than 250 people. The majority of those in attendance were opposed to a proposed Western-themed development.  Washington City developer Jim Thomas and his team requested an amendment to the city’s general plan map to change the zoning of an area known as The Cove. The development is described as an active Old West town, the commercial side of the development would feature unique western shops, restaurants, an indoor dinner show with 1,200 seats, wedding chapel, Spanish gardens where wedding receptions and events could be held, a hotel with 60 western-style rooms, an RV park and equestrian center. The Cove is located north of 600 North, at approximately 2000 west.
