Planning Commission backs update to 2024 International Wildland‑Urban Interface code
Summary
The Emigration Canyon Planning Commission unanimously recommended updating the municipal code to replace the 2006 Utah Wildland‑Urban Interface code with the 2024 International Wildland‑Urban Interface code, aligning local rules with HB 41 (2026); the item moves to council for final action.
The Emigration Canyon Planning Commission on July 9 unanimously recommended that the City Council amend municipal code section 9.900.025 to replace the 2006 Utah Wildland‑Urban Interface (WUI) code with the 2024 International WUI code, citing state legislative alignment in HB 41 (2026).
The chair read the agenda item (OAM2026‑001644) and staff confirmed the legislative driver, saying HB 41 was passed in the 2026 general session. Commissioner (Speaker 4) moved to recommend approval of the ordinance amendment; Commissioner (Speaker 3) seconded and the Commission approved the recommendation by voice vote.
No members of the public were present to comment on the change; Commissioners did not raise substantive objections in the recorded discussion. The Commission closed the public hearing and the recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for consideration and possible adoption.
The staff and commissioners noted that updating to the current international standard is part of periodic code maintenance and aligns local regulations with recent state legislative changes.
