The Vernal City Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Oct. 13, 2026, to consider a rezone request and several ordinance amendments, according to a September 29 notice. The meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at the Vernal City Council Chambers, located at 374 East Main Street in Vernal.
One item for consideration involves a recommendation for the Everbuilt Rezone requested by Jacob Speirs.
