The Wasatch County Planning Commission is scheduled to hold a public hearing on November 12, 2026, to consider several land use and ordinance matters. The meeting will take place at 6:00 p.m. in the Wasatch County Council Chambers located at 25 North Main Street in Heber City.
The commission's agenda includes a request from Josh Bouthillier, representing Rich Wolper, for final plat approval for Wakara Ridge phase 2. This development consists of 102 single-family lots situated on 115.639 acres in Section 26 of Township 2 South, Range 5 East, located approximately at 4177 E. Tuhaye Hollow Drive in the JBOZ.
Additionally, the commission will consider a recommendation for Ordinance 26-16 to adopt Appendix B, the Implementation Matrix of the General Plan. This matrix is intended to replace an existing placeholder and identifies action items, lead departments, timeframes, and resources for implementing the General Plan that was adopted on July 15, 2026, via Ordinance 26-11.
The meeting will also include a discussion regarding a potential code text amendment to Wasatch County Code 16.08 and 16.30. The discussion aims to clarify the purpose and intent of the RA-1 zone and to re-establish optional housing density incentives that align with the affordable housing goals of the General Plan. This specific item is for discussion only, and no formal action will be taken during the session.
A work meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on November 12, 2026, in the Council Chambers prior to the regular Planning Commission meeting. This session is intended for discussion purposes only, and formal presentations, public comments, and official actions are reserved for the 6:00 p.m. public hearing.
All matters listed under the consent agenda, such as the approval of the 2027 Planning Commission Meeting Schedule, are considered routine and will be enacted by one motion unless a member requests an item be moved to the public hearing agenda following a public comment period.
The Wasatch County Council is scheduled to hold a separate public hearing on November 18, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. to consider items advanced to the Council by the Planning Commission. This includes the recommendation for Ordinance 26-16 and the discussion regarding the RA-1 zone, which is also listed on the County Council agenda for 4:00 p.m. on November 18, 2026.
