Orem Planning Commission opens general-plan review, staff to lead update
Summary
Commissioners reviewed the city—s general plan framework and state requirements, heard a staff overview of required elements and the advisory role of the plan, and were told planning staff (Planning Division Manager Jared Hall) will lead an update process the council would like to start this year.
The Orem Planning Commission met Dec. 11, 2024, and spent the bulk of its work session reviewing the role, scope and next steps for the city—s general plan.
