A glorious sunny day welcomed members and guests to the chamber's September luncheon at Houston's Trail's End Restaurant. As guests arrived the friendly Houston's servers brought out delicious taco bowls, a favorite of members and non-members, alike. Open to the public, the monthly lunch gatherings are free for members and $10 for non-members.

He also welcomed new members Martone Integrated Systems and My Zion Vacation, as well as renewing members All Ways Adventure, Desert Air Heating and Cooling, and H&C Development.

Ben Clarkson opened his comments by saying that members of the city planning commission are appointed by the mayor and approved by the city council. They meet every two weeks, working in support of Kanab City's General Plan and Land Use Ordinance. After speaking briefly about current projects and plans, Ben answered questions from attendees and noted that the commission's meetings are open to the public. Agendas and minutes can be found online at the Utah Public Notice website at www.utah.gov/pmn/. Land use forms for the municipality can be found at kanab.utah.gov/2160/Planning-Zoning.
Wendy Allen described the seven-member county planning and zoning commission as serving four-year terms and that are appointed by the county commissioners. County planning and zoning advises the commissioners on land use following the county's general plan. Wendy spoke about a number of current projects and plans, answered questions, and urged those who are interested to review agendas and minutes at www.utah.gov/pmn/.
