All development in the county impacting surface water, wells, storage facilities, or aquifers located within Salt Lake City watershed areas shall be referred to Salt Lake City to confirm compliance with applicable ordinances and watershed protection standards. If confirmation is not received within the time prescribed by county ordinance for processing applications, the planning commission or director may approve the application subject to confirmation being received prior to a building permit being issued. The county shall notify other water providers of which the county is aware that have protected watersheds in the canyons and may have authority over the proposed development within those areas. Notification shall include a copy of the application, any public hearing dates for the application, and contact information for the county planning and development services division.

E.

Mountain Resort Zone. Due to the unique and specialized uses of mountain resort properties, including recreational and mixed residential and commercial uses, mountain resorts may apply for specialized mountain resort ("MRZ") zoning.
