Challenge

White Camel Glamping faced a critical issue during its development in Kanab, Utah, when shallow bedrock at just 28 inches beneath the surface prevented the septic system from being installed in its original location. This posed a significant challenge, as relocating the system to a more suitable site would have reduced the number of glamping units, undermining the project’s profitability. To complicate matters, any adjustments to the septic design needed to align with strict code requirements for wastewater management, making traditional solutions unviable. The project also faced time-sensitive zoning challenges, requiring swift action to secure approval before Kanab County implemented a long-term plan change. These combined issues—geological constraints, infrastructure design, and regulatory pressure—threatened the viability of the development, leaving White Camel at risk of losing its financial footing.

Solution

To address the shallow bedrock challenge, Anderson Engineering developed an innovative septic system that utilized multiple drain fields to balance the wastewater load across all glamping units. This solution allowed White Camel to maintain its desired unit density while fully complying with local septic system regulations, preserving the project’s profitability without sacrificing code adherence. Simultaneously, the team expedited a rezoning application to secure project approval ahead of a long-term zoning change in Kanab County. This required a comprehensive understanding of local regulations and a proactive approach to overcome bureaucratic hurdles within tight deadlines. Anderson Engineering also optimized the site layout to enhance unit design, maximizing interior features while seamlessly integrating the rural charm and red rock ambiance that define the Southern Utah landscape. Their expertise ensured the project met all commercial development standards while retaining the natural aesthetic crucial to the glamping experience.

Engineering and Zoning Challenges in Southern Utah Glamping Development

Building a glamping destination in Southern Utah’s unique environment requires navigating complex engineering issues and strict regulatory standards. For White Camel Glamping, these challenges were compounded by shallow bedrock, tight zoning deadlines, and the need to maintain profitability while ensuring compliance.

  • Shallow Bedrock Threatening Septic System Design: Bedrock just beneath the ground made installing a traditional septic system in the planned location impossible. Moving the system to a different site would have reduced unit density, directly impacting profitability.
  • Time-Sensitive Rezoning Deadlines: A rezoning application had to be completed before Kanab County’s long-term plan changes imposed stricter zoning regulations, adding immense time pressure to the project.
  • Balancing Luxury Design and Compliance: White Camel needed a site layout that maximized the luxury features of its glamping units while adhering to building codes and preserving the natural red rock ambiance crucial to its appeal.

Without immediate action, these challenges threatened the viability of the entire project.
