Commission adopts county water master plan into Perry general plan to meet state requirement
Summary
Commission approved sending ordinance 25‑v adopting the Box Elder County water master plan into Perry's general plan to comply with a state requirement that cities adopt a water element by 2025; the ordinance will go to city council next week.
The Perry City Planning Commission voted to adopt the Box Elder County water master plan into Perry’s general plan, agreeing to forward an ordinance (25‑v) to city council. Staff said the state updated legislation requiring municipalities to add a water element to their general plans by 2025; Perry’s recommendation would satisfy that requirement by incorporating the county plan and its region‑specific guidance for the Willard area.
Barnhart told the commission the county plan is lengthy and that much of it does not apply directly to Perry, but that it contains items that address local future growth and capital projects. The commission opened a public hearing, found no in‑room or online commenters, and closed the hearing. A motion to approve the ordinance passed on a recorded vote; staff said the item will be presented to city council next week and that a transportation element update will follow in the coming year to meet additional state requirements.
Next steps: The ordinance will go before city council next week for final adoption; staff will continue implementing necessary general‑plan updates required by state statute.
