Prior legislation: Ord. 12-145.
This zone is intended to keep open and open up collector streets for emergency vehicle travel and maintain the integrity of the Naples transportation system. The ultimate goal is to relocate the existing airport to a new site away from Ashley Valley. In September, 1995, a study was completed titled the Vernal/Uintah County Airport Master Plan – Sunshine Bench Airport Site. Here is an excerpt from Chapter 11, page 26 of that document:
The foregoing site evaluation was presented to the Uintah County Commissioners, Vernal City and Naples City at a public meeting on June 23, 1995. The Commissioner and City Council groups understood the advantages and disadvantages of both sites, and based on the analysis presented, made the decision to select the Sunshine Bench site for a new airport, maintaining the existing airport only as much as necessary in the interim until the new airport is operational. The commissioners and councils felt that the impacts to the communities of Vernal and Naples that would be felt if the present site were maintained and improved, justifies the higher costs of relocating the airport to Sunshine Bench.
