The Snyderville Basin Planning Commission convened on April 23, 2024, to discuss the ongoing development of the general plan for the region, with a focus on aligning efforts with Eastern Summit County. The meeting outlined the structure and timeline for the planning process, emphasizing community engagement and collaboration.

The commission presented a proposed table of contents for the general plan, which will include chapters on vision, goals, community feedback, existing conditions, and strategic next steps. The aim is to create a cohesive plan that reflects the needs and aspirations of the community.

The planning process is set to unfold over two rounds. Round 1 will commence in June and run through September 2024, focusing on clarifying future goals. This phase will involve public engagement through surveys, open houses, and focus groups. Round 2 will take place from September 2024 to August 2025, where more specific feedback will be gathered from the community.

Key milestones include the launch of advisory committee applications in April and May 2024, with the advisory committee kickoff scheduled for June. A significant deadline is August 1, 2024, when the moderate income housing plan is due for the entire Summit County.

The commission emphasized the importance of public participation, encouraging community members to engage through various platforms. Two members from the Snyderville Basin Planning Commission will serve on a five-member advisory committee, which will also include a representative from the Eastern Summit County Planning Commission and a community member at large.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to maintain the ambitious timeline and ensure that community input shapes the final recommendations to be presented to the Summit County Council for adoption in August 2025. The commission aims to foster a collaborative environment that recognizes the interconnectedness of the county's planning districts.
