St. George City Council Regular — September 22, 2026
The update to rules for home-based businesses — no signage, no non-resident employees, and stricter limits for conditional use permits — was deferred to October 13 after a hearing with no public speakers.
City of St. George Planning and Zoning — August 31, 2026
Current rules bar home businesses that get customers or hire employees if the property is in a recognized subdivision or under 22,500 square feet. The amendment removes those blanket bans, keeping case-by-case conditional use permit review instead.
