To attend, click on the project link for each item below. Your input is valuable! ----- Public Comments and Questions We want to hear from you! Public comments and questions will be received within the public comment window. To submit a comment or question please contact the assigned planner via email or leave a voicemail, your questions will be answered within a week after the comment window has ended. During and following this comment period, the Planning Division will evaluate the proposal against the applicable zoning standards, taking into consideration public comments as they relate to the standards, and develop a recommendation for the Planning Commission. ----- New Projects Open for Public Comment The list of new projects open for public comment is updated bi-weekly. ----- Removing Public Hearing Requirements for Appeals and Variances as Required by a New State Law This proposal will remove the public hearing requirement for appeals of administrative land use decisions and variances in accordance with House Bill 368 adopted by the Utah Legislature and signed into law by the Governor. The bill states that cities may not hold public hearings for appeals of land use decisions and applications for variances. City code currently requires a public hearing for an appeal of a land use decision made by staff. City code does not require a public hearing for appeals of decision made by the Historic Landmark Commission or Planning Commission. City code also requires a public hearing for a variance. This proposal will remove the requirement for a public hearing but require appeals and variances to be heard at a public meeting. The difference between a public hearing and a public meeting is that a public hearing includes an opportunity for public input while a public meeting does not include public input. This proposal will also add provisions for a notice of the public meeting, mailed 12 days in advance, to be sent to all neighboring property owners and occupants within 300 feet of a project subject to the appeal or variance. Other public meetings will not be impacted by the change and will follow existing public meeting notice requirements. During the 12 notice period written evidence would be accepted up to the day before the hearing and provided to the appeals hearing officer. These changes are necessary to comply with Utah Code. This bill goes into effect on May 7, 2025 and the city must follow the state code requirements starting on May 7th. This proposal is not subject to the 45-day public input period due to the state code requirements going into before the city can adopt the changes necessary to bring the city code into compliance with Utah Code.
