Brighton council roundup: zoning change adopted; interlocal elections ILA, job posting and compactor study approved
Summary
At its March 11 meeting the council adopted a zoning‑map ordinance for two parcels, authorized an interlocal election agreement with Salt Lake County, approved posting a community outreach coordinator job, directed staff on junkyard code language, and authorized $20,000 for compactor‑station design work.
The Brighton Town Council completed multiple routine and policy actions during its March 11 meeting.
Key outcomes: • Ordinance adopted: The council adopted Ordinance No. 2025‑0‑3‑1 to amend the zoning map for properties at 11183 and 1185 East Mountain Sun Lane (motion and roll call carried). • Interlocal agreement (elections): The council authorized the mayor to sign an interlocal agreement with Salt Lake County to provide municipal election services, subject to legal review. The motion carried by voice vote. • Job posting: Council approved posting for a community outreach coordinator position using the version reviewed during the meeting; the council asked staff to manage onboarding and adjust duties as needed. • Title 19 (junkyards/cluttered yards): Council directed planning staff to reintroduce anti‑junk/"cluttered yard" language into Title 19 to return to the planning commission for consideration. • Compactor station study: The council authorized an initial design/agreement and approximately $20,000 for planning work to rebuild the compactor station, add mail/FedEx lockers and storage; the motion passed by roll call.
The meeting also included regular department reports (police, fire/EMS, recycling and resort updates), a regional planning update on the Wasatch Choice visioning map and public comment on micro‑transit and reservation parking. Several items were described as staff direction or for future agenda consideration rather than final action.
