The Smithfield City Planning Commission convened a public hearing on Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2026, to consider two separate ordinances regarding the rezoning of Cache County parcels. The meeting focused on changing land use designations for properties located near 1300 East and a separate agricultural plot.
Rezoning for Elk Ridge Subdivision
One of the primary items on the agenda involved Ordinance 2026-16, which sought to rezone a cluster of six Cache County parcels. According to the Smithfield City Planning Commission, the request was submitted by Elk Ridge Subdivision, LLC. The proposed change aimed to transition the land from its current agricultural and residential mix to a uniform residential designation.
The specific parcels involved in the Ordinance 2026-16 request include Cache County Parcel Numbers 08-192-0067, 08-192-0068, 08-192-0069, 08-192-0070, 08-192-0071, and 08-192-0072. These properties are situated at approximately 56 to 120 South on 1300 East and comprise a total area of approximately 1.85 acres.
Residential Land Use Changes
Under the terms of Ordinance 2026-16, the Planning Commission reviewed the conversion of the 1.85-acre site from its existing classifications. The parcels are currently designated as a mix of A-10 (Agricultural 10-Acre) and R-1-12 (Single Family Residential 12,000 Square Feet). The ordinance proposes rezoning all six parcels to R-1-12 (Single Family Residential 12,000 Square Feet).
The public hearing for this ordinance was scheduled for 6:05 p.m. at the City Office Building, located at 96 South Main in Smithfield, Utah.
Agricultural Designation Adjustment
In addition to the residential rezoning request, the Commission held a hearing for Ordinance 2026-15. This ordinance addressed a different land use request involving Cache County Parcel Number 08-048-0014.
Unlike the residential focus of the Elk Ridge Subdivision request, Ordinance 2026-15 concerned agricultural land adjustments. The ordinance proposed rezoning the parcel from an A-10 (Agricultural 10-Acre) designation to an A-5 (Agricultural 5-Acre) designation.
Meeting Details
Both public hearings were scheduled to take place simultaneously on Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2026, at the Smithfield City Office Building. The proceedings allowed for the discussion of these ordinances as part of the city's ongoing land management and zoning processes.
