Section 16-A  Appendix A Describing fire Districts Or Zones
 
Section 1 FIRE DISTRICTS OR ZONES REFERENCED - This is the Appendix referenced in Section 9-533 of this Code of Revised Ordinances of this municipality in which the fire districts or zones are described.
Section 2 ENTIRE MUNICIPALITY DESIGNATED FIRE DISTRICT - The entire municipality is declared to be and hereby is designated a fire zone for the purposes of the Uniform Building Code and any ordinances of the municipality relating to building and fire prevention.
 
Section 3 FIRE DISTRICT NUMBER ONE - Fire district number one shall include the following described areas:

A. None

B.

C.

Section 4 FIRE DISTRICT NUMBER TWO - Fire district number two shall include all of those areas of the municipality located in areas zoned commercial or industrial by the zoning ordinances of the municipality, except the areas above described in Section 3.

Section 5 FIRE DISTRICT NUMBER THREE - Fire district number three shall include all areas of the municipality not included in fire districts one or two.

NOTE:

FIRE DISTRICT NUMBER ONE - Fire district number one is heavily concentrated buildings in large downtown cities. Examples include downtown Salt Lake City, Provo, Logan, St. George, Cedar City, Price, and Brigham City. Most towns and small cities would not have a fire district number one. Only limited areas of most downtown small cities would be designated to this classification. In this district the opportunity for fire spreading to other buildings is great.

FIRE DISTRICT NUMBER TWO - Fire district number two is less concentrated commercial and industrial areas. Fire district number two is characterized by commercial and industrial buildings having minimum set backs of 20 feet from side (sometimes front) property lines.

FIRE DISTRICT NUMBER THREE - Fire district number three is characterized by residential zoning and buildings. Generally, in district three, there is little risk of fire spreading to adjacent buildings.

Section VI: Nonconforming Uses

1. Regulations Not Retroactive - The regulations prescribed by this Ordinance shall not be construed to require the removal, lowering, or other change or alteration of any structure or tree not conforming to the regulations as of the effective date of this Ordinance, or otherwise interfere with the continuance of nonconforming use. Nothing contained herein shall require any change in the construction, alteration, or intended use of any structure, the construction or alteration of which was begun prior to the effective date of this Ordinance, and is diligently prosecuted.

2. Marking and Lighting - Notwithstanding the preceding provision of this Section, the owner of any existing nonconforming structure or tree is hereby required to permit the installation, operation, and maintenance thereon of such markers and lights as shall be deemed necessary by the City of Kanab to indicate to the operators of aircraft in the vicinity of the airport the presence of such airport obstruction. Such markers and lights shall be installed, operated, and maintained at the expense of the Kanab Municipal Airport.

Section VII: Permits

1. Future Uses - Except as specifically provided in a, b, and c hereunder, no material chance shall be made in the use of land, no structure shall be erected or otherwise established, and no tree shall be planted in any zone hereby created unless a permit therefor shall have been applied for and granted. Each application for a permit shall indicate the purpose for which the permit is desired, with sufficient particularity to permit it to be determined whether the regulating use, structure, or tree would conform to the regulations herein prescribed. If such determination is in the affirmative, the permit shall be granted. No permit for a use inconsistent with the provisions of this Ordinance shall be granted unless a variance has been approved in accordance with Section VII, 4.

a. In the area lying within the limits of the horizontal zone and conical zone, no permit shall be required for any tree or structure less than seventy-five feet of vertical height above the ground, except when, because of terrain, land contour, or topographic features, such tree or structure would extend above the height limits prescribed for such zones.

b. In areas lying within the limits of the approach zones, but at a horizontal distance of not less than 4,200 feet from each end of the runway, no permit shall be required for any tree or structure less than seventy-five feet of vertical height above the ground, except when such tree or structure would extend above the height limit prescribed for such approach zones.

c. In the areas lying within the limits of the transition zones beyond the perimeter of the horizontal zone, no permit shall be required for any tree or structure less than seventy-five feet of vertical height above the ground, except when such tree or structure, because of terrain, land contour, or topographic features, would extend above the height limit prescribed for such transition zones.

Nothing contained in any of the foregoing exceptions shall be construed as permitting or intending to permit any construction, or alteration of any structure, or growth of any tree in excess of any of the height limits established by this Ordinance.

2. Existing Uses - No permit shall be granted that would allow the establishment or creation of any obstruction or permit a nonconforming use, structure, or tree to become a greater hazard to air navigation than it was on the effective date of this Ordinance or any amendments thereto or than it is when the application for a permit is made. Except as indicated, all applications for such a permit shall be granted.

3. Nonconforming Uses Abandoned or Destroyed - Whenever the City of Kanab determines that a nonconforming tree or structure has been abandoned or more than 80 percent torn down, physically deteriorated, or decayed, no permit shall be granted that would allow such structure or tree to exceed the applicable height limit or otherwise deviate from the zoning regulations.

4. Variances - Any person desiring to erect or increase the height of any structure, or permit the growth of any tree, or use property, not in accordance with the regulations prescribed in this Ordinance, may apply to the Board of Adjustment for a variance from such regulations. The application for variance shall be accompanied by a determination from the Federal Aviation Administration as the effect of a proposal on the operation of air navigation facilities and the safe, efficient use of navigable airspace. Such variances shall be allowed where it is duly found that a literal application or enforcement of the regulations will result in unnecessary hardship and relief granted, will not be contrary to the public interest, will not create a hazard to air navigation, will do substantial justice, and will be in accordance with the spirit of this Ordinance.

Additionally, no application for variance to the requirements of this Ordinance may be considered by the Board of Adjustment unless a copy of the application has been furnished to the City of Kanab for advice as to the aeronautical effects of the variance. If the City does not respond to the application within fifteen (15) days after receipt, the Board of Adjustment may act on its own to grant or deny said application.

5. Obstruction Marking and Lighting - Any permit or variance granted may, if such action is deemed advisable to effectuate the purpose of this Ordinance and be reasonable in the circumstances, be so conditioned as to require the owner of the structure or tree in question to install, operate, and maintain, at the owner's expense, such markings and lights as condition may be modified to require the owner to permit the City of Kanab at its own expense, to install, operate, and maintain the necessary markings and lights.
