Commission reviews general‑plan update with BioWest and PLIPCO; staff to refine state-required items
Summary
County staff, BioWest and PLIPCO met with the planning commission to review the county general plan. Commissioners said consultants caught items needing updates to reflect recent state law changes and local priorities.
Commissioners received an update on the Emery County general plan review after a meeting that included BioWest consultants and PLIPCO representatives.
Commission staff and consultants said the review focused on cleaning up language, removing outdated references (for example to wilderness study areas), and aligning the plan with recent state requirements. BioWest and PLIPCO gathered maps and documents to support edits and to address a small number of items the state identified as missing or incomplete in the county’s current plan.
Commissioners and staff described the meeting as productive and said the consultants identified state-mandated items that needed to be added or clarified. The group discussed adjusting some state wording to better fit county circumstances and flagged several “hot topics” for the general plan update. Nicole Nelson of PLIPCO and two BioWest employees were noted as participating in the meeting. Staff will continue working with the consultants to finalize the updated general plan language and documentation before bringing revisions back to the commission for further review.
