Commission approves agricultural protection area for one Tremonton parcel after hearing
Summary
After a public hearing and a brief public comment opposing agricultural protection areas as unconstitutional, the Box Elder County Commission approved Resolution 26-22 to designate a single 12.01-acre parcel near Tremonton as an agricultural protection area.
The Box Elder County Commission opened a public hearing and voted to approve Resolution 26-22, creating an agricultural protection area that covers a single 12.01-acre parcel in the Tremonton area of unincorporated Box Elder County.
County staff explained the application history: the petition originally sought inclusion of five parcels submitted in March, but four parcels were unzoned and could not be included; the resolution before the commission therefore contained only one qualified parcel. Staff said notices were sent to property owners within 1,000 feet and re-notified for the hearing.
During public comment, Diana (Deanna) Hardy Brigham urged the commission to resist what she called a state-level encroachment on property rights, arguing the protections "are unconstitutional" and urging commissioners to stand up for local property owners. The commission then closed the hearing, moved and seconded the resolution, and approved Resolution 26-22.
The action establishes the designated parcel as an agricultural protection area per county procedure; the commission did not record any amendments to the resolution during the meeting.
