The Tooele County Planning and Zoning Commission voted to grant a six-month extension for Wild Horse Ranch Subdivision Phase 15 to Richmond American Homes of Utah, Inc., following a staff recommendation and a motion by Commissioner Beckstrom.
Planning staff member Millie told the commission the developer is requesting a six-month extension to complete water installation and right-of-way improvements for Phase 15 and that substantial progress has been shown through scheduled inspections. "They're requesting a 6 month extension for water installation and right of way improvements of Wild Horse Ranch Subdivision, Phase 15," Millie said during the presentation.
Staff recommended three conditions: if infrastructure is not complete and approved by July 7, 2026, the developer must reapply from preliminary plat under the updated subdivision code; if infrastructure is approved before that date the developer must record Phase 15 within 30 days of approval; and no refunds will be given for previous applications and inspections.
A commissioner moved to approve the extension with staff recommendations; the motion was seconded and the commission approved the extension in a recorded roll-call. The transcript records Commissioner Dow voting (recorded in the audio as "Yes" in roll call), Commissioner Beckstrom voting yes, Commissioner Stets voting yes and Commissioner Scott voting yes.
The extension preserves the developer's timeline to finish infrastructure work under the conditions listed and does not alter prior approvals for earlier phases. The commission noted a discrepancy in the oral reading of the deadline year during the motion (the packet and staff summary stated July 7, 2026; an oral reading in the meeting contained a conflicting year), which the staff acknowledged as an error in reading.
Outcome: extension approved; developer must meet the stated conditions or reapply under the updated subdivision code.
