The final opportunity to give public feedback about the proposed General Plan Update will be Thursday, March 6, during the regular City Council meeting.
Two previous public hearings were held in the Planning Commission on January 21 and February 4. The Planning Commission recommended the following modifications to the Future Land Use Map based on public feedback:
Change the Heavy Industrial area between 1200 West and the railroad and between 350 North to the existing Agriculture area on the north side of 600 North to Office/Light Industrial.
Change the properties along 600 North and south of 600 North to 350 North in the 1100 West area from Industrial to Agriculture, per owner request.
Change the area along 900 North (Hwy 13) south of North Point PUD to Medium Density Residential to reflect current zoning.
Change the area west of the railroad in the 1200 West vicinity and south of the City Sports Complex to Agriculture to the support the owner's request.
In addition, the Planning Commission has made the following recommendations:
Keep Agricultural and Rural Residential as separate land use categories rather than combine them into one Agricultural/Rural Residential category.
Update the Future Land Use Designation table with accompanying/recommended zoning districts.
Remove the Brigham City Small Area Plan due to inconsistencies and changes to Future Land Use Map.
Update the Transportation element to include the bicycle master plan.
Include the Existing Sidewalk Master Plan from current General Plan in the appendices with a note to be updated.
Include the Southeastern Box Elder County 2017 Active Transportation Plan or applicable sections in the appendices.
Include the Moderate Income Housing plan as Appendix A.
