Rezone 40 acres between Parowan and Paragonah from agricultural zoning (A-20) to industrial (Karman Space & Defense)
Karman Space & Defense asks to change about 40 acres at 2987 N Kane Springs Road (the public notice says about 2700 N), outside Parowan, from agricultural land (zone A-20, minimum 20-acre lots) to industrial land (zone I). Karman says it would use the parcel's existing metal building to make solid-propellant rocket motors, with outdoor storage and a static test site. The zone change alone doesn't approve that operation; a separate conditional use permit would.
