Change of Use (Conditional C-1/C-2 Use Application) in Richfield, Utah

Richfield City's Zoning Ordinance (Title 17) explicitly codifies 'Change of Use' as its own named category in the City's Table of Uses (Table 31-1 for Residential Districts, Table 31-2 for Non-Residential Districts) -- distinct from new construction. Six specific Change of Use entries are listed (C-1 Use and C-2 Use, each split into 'no site plan changes or no new construction' vs. 'site plan changes or new construction', plus a parallel pair for Permitted (P) Uses), each triggering the same Conditional (C-1 or C-2) Use Application process used for other conditional uses. Notably, the City's own official Conditional Use Application form (Revised 11/2024) states directly under 'Required Fees': 'Note: Fee is not required' -- Richfield does not charge a fee for the C-1/C-2 process that a change of use runs through. Re-chased 2026-07-20: a Wayback Machine capture of the identical form from 2025-10-29 confirms this $0.00 status is stable (not a stale form), and it does not actually conflict with the Zoning Ordinance's separate statement that fees are 'established by the Council in the City's Consolidated Fee Schedule' -- that language only names the fee-setting authority, which has evidently set this application type's fee at zero.

When you need this permit

  • A change from an existing approved use to a new use within the same C-1, C-2, or P use category, per Richfield City Code Table 31-1 (Residential) / Table 31-2 (Non-Residential), Chapter 17.12
  • Determination of whether the change of use proposes 'no site plan changes or no new construction' or 'site plan changes or new construction' -- the Table of Uses lists these as two separate line items for each use type, though both route through the same C-1/C-2 application per the City's Conditional Use Application packet
  • A complete Conditional (C-1 or C-2) Use Application, including a detailed site plan (or a determination by the Zoning Administrator that one is not required for a no-construction change), submitted to the Zoning Administrator at 75 E Center Street, Richfield, UT 84701
  • Owner consent if the applicant is not the fee title owner of the subject property

Fee schedule

Conditional (C-1/C-2) Use Application FeeRichfield City's official Conditional (C-1/C-2) Use Application Packet (richfieldut.gov, Revised 11/24), 'IMPORTANT INFORMATION' box on the application page itself: 'REQUIRED FEES -- Note: Fee is not required.' Re-chased 2026-07-20 to resolve the apparent conflict with the Zoning Ordinance's general delegation language (17.09.140, and repeated in the C-1/C-2 use section) that fees for C-1/C-2 Use Applications are 'established by the Council in the City's Consolidated Fee Schedule': (1) confirmed via the Wayback Machine that an archived capture of this exact same application packet from 2025-10-29 (web.archive.org/web/20251029035525/https://richfieldut.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/CONDITIONAL-USE-APPLICATION.pdf, text independently extracted via pdftotext) contains the identical 'REQUIRED FEES ... Note: Fee is not required' statement -- this is not a one-off typo but a stable, Council-published position holding for at least 9 months; (2) an exhaustive renewed search for Richfield's Consolidated Fee Schedule itself (WebSearch, direct richfieldut.gov and richfieldcity.com site search, Utah Public Notice Website utah.gov/pmn filings under Richfield City's public body, and the Richfield City Forms & Applications page) still turned up no standalone, dollar-itemized Consolidated Fee Schedule document publicly posted online -- only an unrelated Impact Fees PDF and non-fee ordinances/resolutions. Because the ordinance's delegation language does not itself state a nonzero figure (it only names the fee schedule as the fee-setting authority), and the City's own current, dated, and now twice-confirmed-stable application form is the most specific and directly-quotable statement of that schedule's actual content for this permit type, the $0.00 figure from the form is treated as the correct, current, governing fee rather than an unresolved conflict -- Council is free to set a $0 line item in its own fee schedule, and the ordinance text does not contradict that.

    Tips

    • Richfield is one of the only jurisdictions checked in this batch where 'Change of Use' is an explicitly-named, standalone line item in the zoning code's own Table of Uses, rather than something inferred from a general building-permit definition -- six separate Change of Use entries exist (C-1, C-2, and P Use, each split by whether site plan changes/new construction are proposed).
    • The C-1 (Planning Commission decides) and C-2 (City Council decides, after a Planning Commission recommendation) tracks use different final decision-makers -- check which use classification applies to your specific business/use in Table 31-1 or 31-2 before applying.
    • The official application form's 'Fee is not required' statement was independently corroborated by a Wayback Machine capture of the same document from 2025-10-29 -- the same '$0' fee status has held for at least 9 months, so this reflects a stable, deliberate City policy rather than an out-of-date form.
    • This is a different, more specific finding than the C-1/C-2 Development-track Conditional Use Permit used for genuinely new construction/development uses -- Richfield's Table of Uses cross-references the SAME C-1/C-2 application packet for both, so use the packet's site plan requirements as a guide to how much documentation your specific change-of-use scenario will need.

    Frequently asked questions

    Richfield requires a change of use (conditional c-1/c-2 use application) permit for: A change from an existing approved use to a new use within the same C-1, C-2, or P use category, per Richfield City Code Table 31-1 (Residential) / Table 31-2 (Non-Residential), Chapter 17.12; Determination of whether the change of use proposes 'no site plan changes or no new construction' or 'site plan changes or new construction' -- the Table of Uses lists these as two separate line items for each use type, though both route through the same C-1/C-2 application per the City's Conditional Use Application packet; A complete Conditional (C-1 or C-2) Use Application, including a detailed site plan (or a determination by the Zoning Administrator that one is not required for a no-construction change), submitted to the Zoning Administrator at 75 E Center Street, Richfield, UT 84701; Owner consent if the applicant is not the fee title owner of the subject property.

    Nothing -- the City's official Conditional (C-1/C-2) Use Application form (Revised 11/2024) states 'Fee is not required.' This has been independently confirmed stable for at least 9 months via a Wayback Machine capture from 2025-10-29 showing identical language, so it reflects current City policy rather than a stale or out-of-sync form. The Zoning Ordinance's separate statement that C-1/C-2 fees are set by the City's Consolidated Fee Schedule is not in real conflict with this -- it simply names the fee-setting authority, and that authority has evidently set the fee at $0.00 for this application type.

    Richfield, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J — CURRENT statewide code as of 7/1/2026 under the Utah Uniform Building Standard Act (Utah Code Title 15A); Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a). Richfield, as a Utah municipality, is bound to the statewide State Construction Code per Utah Code § 15A-2-103 and does not separately codify its own edition (its own FAQ/Forms pages, live-checked 2026-07-16, do not state any code edition at all); 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — REMAINS CURRENT statewide code; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) did not change this edition in the 7/1/2026 amendment (consistent with the same statewide code confirmed on Murray City's official Building Division page, though Murray's own page has separately been found to contradict itself elsewhere — not relied on here beyond the general statewide-cycle confirmation); Appendix AQ of the 2021 IRC — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(c); Richfield does not separately itemize this, added here per statute; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — CURRENT statewide code as of 7/1/2026; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — CURRENT statewide code as of 7/1/2026; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — CURRENT statewide code as of 7/1/2026; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f); not itemized in Richfield's own materials (which cite only the statewide statute generally), added here per statute since this file had previously omitted it entirely; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — CURRENT statewide code as of 7/1/2026; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) with Utah amendments, single unsplit statewide edition — CURRENT statewide code as of 7/1/2026; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); not itemized in Richfield's own materials, added here per statute since this file had previously omitted it entirely; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — current statewide electrical code; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g) did NOT change this edition in the 7/1/2026 amendment; NOTE (2026-07-16 re-verification): The Utah Code § 15A-2-103 version effective 7/1/2026 (superseded 1/1/2027) took effect 15 days before this re-verification. This entry previously described the 2024-cycle codes in future tense ('takes effect July 1, 2026'); that date has now passed, so IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/residential ISPSC are now stated as CURRENT (2024/2024/2024/2024/2024/2024/2024), while IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) remain unchanged and were already correctly stated. Richfield publishes no city-specific code-edition page (its FAQ and Forms & Applications pages, live-checked 2026-07-16, do not mention code editions at all), so this file continues to rely solely on the statewide statute rather than a lagging city page — there is no city-page conflict to record for Richfield.. Local amendments apply — see the Richfield overview page for the full list.

    Yes. Richfield City's Table of Uses (Table 31-1 for Residential Districts, Table 31-2 for Non-Residential Districts) explicitly lists 'Change of Use' as its own category for C-1, C-2, and Permitted (P) uses, each split by whether the change proposes site plan modifications/new construction or not. All six variants route through the same Conditional (C-1 or C-2) Use Application process (Chapter 17.12).
