Milford planning commission announces public hearings, closes them after no public comment

The Milford City Planning and Zoning Commission announced at the start of its June 10 meeting that public hearings would be held on the city’s proposed annexation policy plan and its general plan, but commissioners closed the hearings after finding no members of the public present to comment.

Chair opened the meeting and read a public notice, saying, "Public notice is hereby given that Milford City Planning and Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing Wednesday, 06/10/2026 at 7PM at the Milford City Administrative Office, 26 South 100 West, Milford, Utah." The chair described the annexation policy plan as identifying the city’s proposed expansion area and establishing criteria to guide future annexation decisions over a 20-year planning horizon. The chair also said the general plan was “a long range policy guide for future growth, development, and community decision making.”

After roll call—during which attendees identified themselves as "Nick," "K," and "Luke" and the chair noted Chancey and Garland were absent—a committee member asked whether any members of the public had come to speak. The committee member said, "So we don't have anybody in attendance unless Liddell's got some public comment on it," and no comments were presented. The committee member proposed closing the public hearing and moving directly into the regular meeting; the chair and others concurred.

No formal motion or vote on the hearings was recorded on the transcript. The commission did not hear substantive public testimony on either the annexation policy plan or the general plan at this meeting. Next steps for both plans—such as scheduling another hearing, accepting written comments, or taking formal action—were not specified in the transcript.
