Box Elder County Commission · July 22, 2026

Summary

Following a public hearing with mixed comments, the commission adopted Resolution 26-23 to create an agricultural protection area covering 55 parcels (2,204.82 acres) in the Riverside area.

The Box Elder County Commission adopted Resolution 26-23 to approve a proposed agricultural protection area in the Riverside area covering 55 parcels and 2,204.82 acres.

Staff noted all required notices were sent and that the planning and agricultural boards reviewed the application; the planning commission recommended approval after a public hearing. Diana Hardy Brigham spoke at length in opposition, arguing that agricultural protection areas and appointed boards are unconstitutional and constitute "taxation without representation." Despite the public comment, Commissioner Perry moved to pass Resolution 26-23; Commissioner Bingham seconded and the motion passed by voice vote.
