NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS
________________________________________
Notice is hereby given that the American Fork City Planning Commission will hold a Public Hearing on August 19, 2026, at 6:30 PM, in the American Fork City Hall, located at 31 N. Church Street, American Fork, Utah, to receive public comment and consider the following proposed legislative land use actions before making recommendations to the American Fork City Council.
Prior Public Outreach and Project Refinement
Earlier this year, the City initiated a comprehensive planning effort that included a proposed update to the American Fork General Plan, a comprehensive rewrite of the City's Development Code, and a proposed citywide zoning map amendment. The City provided public notice, conducted public outreach, and invited public comment on each of these initiatives.
Following public outreach, review of comments received, additional technical analysis, and continued refinement of the project, the City determined that additional work on the proposed citywide zoning map amendment, and development code update was appropriate. Accordingly, the proposed zoning map amendment and update of the development code have been removed from the current legislative process and will not be considered as part of this public hearing.
This public hearing is limited to consideration of the proposed General Plan Update.
1. General Plan Update
The Planning Commission will consider a proposed update to the American Fork General Plan. The General Plan establishes the City's long-range vision, goals, and policies to guide future growth and development within the community. The update addresses topics including land use, housing, transportation, economic development, public facilities, parks and open space, infrastructure, environmental stewardship, and other elements necessary to plan for the City's future.
Further Information
A layperson's summary of the proposed Development Code Rewrite, together with draft documents and supporting materials, is available at:
https://www.americanfork.gov/generalplan
Copies of the proposed General Plan Update, staff reports, and supporting materials are also available for public review on the City's website and at the American Fork Planning Department during regular business hours.
How to Participate:
Interested persons are invited to attend the public hearing and provide oral testimony or submit written comments to the Planning Department before the hearing.
Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission may recommend approval, approval with modifications, or denial of the proposed legislative actions to the American Fork City Council. The City Council will hold a separate public meeting before taking final legislative action on each proposal.
