Commission recommends code changes to council; conditional-use replacement passes 4-1, fee schedule continued to July 9
Summary
On June 11 the Emigration Canyon Planning Commission recommended enacting Chapter 19.03 (Development Agreements) and replacing Chapter 19.84 (Conditional Uses) to the Emigration Canyon Council; the 19.03 recommendation was unanimous while the 19.84 recommendation passed 4-1 (Commissioner Wallace opposed). The commission also continued consideration of the land use fee schedule to July 9.
The Emigration Canyon Planning Commission on June 11 recommended two proposed code changes to the Emigration Canyon Council and acted on a separate fee-schedule item.
Planning Manager Brian Tucker presented an ordinance to enact Chapter 19.03, titled "Development Agreements," and a related ordinance to repeal and replace Chapter 19.84, "Conditional Uses." Commissioners discussed formatting, titles and cross-references in the municipal code and reviewed a council resolution/adopting-ordinance approach that would apply to both chapters. Commissioner Jodi Geroux provided written comments that were discussed at the dais.
For OAM2026-001637 (Chapter 19.03), Commissioner Geroux moved to recommend the ordinance to the Emigration Canyon Council with adjustments to formatting and adopting language; Commissioner Jim Karkut seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
For OAM2026-001638 (replacement of Chapter 19.84), the commission opened and closed the public hearing with no public testimony. Commissioner Geroux moved to recommend the replacement with reformatting and reference checks; Commissioner Dale Berreth seconded. The motion passed with Commissioner Andrew Wallace casting the lone vote against the recommendation; the other commissioners voted in favor.
Separately, the commission continued OAM2026-001636 (a resolution amending Emigration's land use fee schedule) to the July 9 meeting after a presentation from Brian Hartsell; the motion to continue was made by Commissioner Wallace and seconded by Commissioner Geroux and carried unanimously.
