Planning commission backs switch to 2024 international Wildland‑Urban Interface code
Summary
The Planning Commission voted July 9 to recommend replacing the city’s 2006 Utah Wildland‑Urban Interface Code with the 2024 International Wildland Urban Interface Code, aligning local code with HB 41 (2026). The motion passed unanimously and will proceed to City Council.
The Immigration Canyon Planning Commission voted July 9 to recommend that the City Council replace the city’s 2006 Wildland‑Urban Interface (WUI) code with the 2024 International Wildland Urban Interface Code, reflecting changes required or enabled by the 2026 Utah Legislature’s HB 41.
Commissioners opened a public hearing on file OAM2026‑001644 and, with no members of the public present, discussed the update briefly. A commissioner moved to recommend approval of the amendment to Immigration Canyon Code section 9.900.025; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
Staff referenced HB 41 in summarizing the change and the alignment with the updated, international standard. As staff summarized the legislative context, “HB 41 was passed by the legislature,” and commissioners proceeded with the recommendation to the council. Commissioners had no substantive objections and closed the hearing after the unanimous vote.
Next steps: the commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for consideration and final action.
