Commission adopts Resolution 26-23 establishing agricultural protection area in Riverside
Summary
After a brief public hearing and one public comment opposing agricultural protection areas, the commission adopted Resolution 26-23 to create a 55-parcel agricultural protection area in the Riverside area.
The Box Elder County Commission adopted Resolution 26-23 to approve a proposed agricultural protection area in the Riverside area.
Staff reported 55 parcels totaling approximately 2,248.2 acres were noticed for the application and that the planning and agricultural boards had reviewed the proposal. During the public hearing, a speaker identifying with the Box Elder Committee of Liberty opposed agricultural protection areas on constitutional grounds; the speaker urged that appointed boards and interlocal agreements can exceed local authority. The hearing was then closed and Commissioner Perry moved to adopt Resolution 26-23; Commissioner Bingham seconded and the motion passed.
Staff said all parcels were found to be in the AHZ zone and that notices had been sent to owners within 1,000 feet as required for the hearing.
