Nibley City Council discusses Church development and $50K traffic master plan funding

The Nibley City Council meeting on June 12, 2025, focused on several key issues, including a proposed church development and traffic management plans.

During the meeting, the Planning Commission reported the approval of a concept plan for a new meeting house for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The church plans to develop five acres of a ten-acre parcel located at approximately 3420 South 1200 West. The project will require a conditional use permit and final site plan approval, which will be reviewed by the Planning Commission and subsequently presented to the City Council in a future meeting.

The council also held two public hearings. The first addressed traffic calming measures on 1200 Lehi, aimed at enhancing community safety and engagement. The council emphasized the importance of public interaction in official meetings, encouraging residents to voice their concerns.

The second public hearing focused on a Community Impact Board (CIB) grant application for $50,000 to assist in updating Nibley's transportation master plan. The council highlighted the necessity of public participation in the funding process, noting that the city would match the grant with an additional $50,000. The proposed plan includes various tasks, such as reviewing existing documents, gathering traffic data, and facilitating public involvement through open houses.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to community engagement and infrastructure development, with plans for future discussions on both the church project and traffic management initiatives.
