Commission approves agricultural protection area for single Tremonton parcel
Summary
The commission approved Resolution 26-22 to create an agricultural protection area covering one Tremonton parcel of 12.01 acres after a short public hearing and a public comment opposing the measure on property-rights grounds.
The Box Elder County Commission voted to approve Resolution 26-22, establishing an agricultural protection area for a single Tremonton parcel totaling 12.01 acres. County staff told the commission that the original application included five parcels filed in March but that only one parcel qualified after four were determined to be in an unzoned area and therefore ineligible for inclusion.
During the public hearing, Diana Hardy Brigham argued that agricultural protection areas constitute an overreach and urged local commissioners to defend property rights under the state constitution. After closing the hearing, Commissioner Bingham moved to approve the resolution; Commissioner Perry seconded and the motion passed by voice vote.
