Summary

Springville adopted ordinance 09-2024 to adopt residential and commercial subdivision regulations with standardized preliminary and final plan application checklists; staff said the lists centralize required materials, make application completeness determinations clearer, and align with state changes.

The Springville City Council voted to adopt ordinance 09-2024, which establishes standardized residential and commercial subdivision regulations and application checklists to define what constitutes a complete application for preliminary and final plans.

Carla, a staff member who led the presentation, told the council the planning commission unanimously recommended the resolution (with two members absent). She said the checklist lists all items required for a complete application and will allow applicants to find requirements in one place. Staff and council members said the checklist will help the city deny incomplete applications consistently and reduce back-and-forth during reviews.

Councilmembers and staff discussed state law changes that increased the regulatory role of local governments; John (staff) said the checklist centralizes items but that formal changes to standards and specifications still must follow the planning‑commission and city‑council process. The council approved the ordinance by roll call; the transcript records 'Yes' votes for Mindy, Jake, Logan and Mike in support.
