Council approves rezoning of about 160 acres for industrial park
Summary
Willard City Council adopted Ordinance 2025-07 to rezone roughly 160 acres near 1500 North 600 West from A-5 (agriculture) to Industrial after a developer presentation and staff confirmation that the proposal aligned with the future land-use map.
Willard City Council on March 13 approved Ordinance 2025-07, rezoning approximately 160 acres near 1500 North 600 West from agricultural A-5 to Manufacturing/Industrial. Greg Nelson of Willard Land Partners presented the request, emphasized long-term planning and potential tax-base gains, and told the council there were "no plans for nuclear waste or slaughterhouses." City Planner Madison Brown told the council the proposed industrial zoning matched the city's future land-use map.
Council Member Mike Braegger moved to adopt the ordinance and Council Member Rex Christensen seconded; the motion passed in a unanimous roll-call vote. The record shows the council voted yes: Braegger, Christensen, Bodily, Hulsey and Mund. Council members who spoke during the discussion cited proximity to infrastructure and potential revenue benefits as reasons to support the rezoning. The developer said details on specific future uses would be provided in later site- and use-specific applications.
