Commission approves agricultural protection area in Tremonton (Resolution 26-22) after public hearing
Summary
After a public hearing, the commission approved Resolution 26-22 establishing an agricultural protection area for a single 12.01-acre parcel in the Tremonton area; one public commenter said the program infringes on property rights.
Commissioners opened a public hearing on a proposed agricultural protection area in the Tremonton area and heard staff explain that the original application had included five parcels but four could not be included because they were in unzoned areas; the resolution before the commission covered a single 12.01-acre parcel.
During public comment, Diana Hardy Brigham told the commission she believed agricultural protection areas overreach and urged commissioners to "stand up" to the state legislature. After closing the hearing, Commissioner Bingham moved to approve Resolution 26-22 and Commissioner Perry seconded. The motion passed by voice vote and the resolution was approved.
Staff said the county mailed notices to property owners within 1,000 feet of the parcel prior to the hearing. The record does not show conditions attached to the resolution beyond the single-parcel scope described in the staff presentation. The commission recorded the public hearing, closed it, and approved the resolution by voice vote.
