The Copperton Planning Commission is scheduled to hold a public hearing on September 2, 2026, to discuss several municipal amendments, according to a notice published August 20.
The virtual meeting is set to begin at 6:00 PM. During the hearing, the Commission will consider a resolution to amend Copperton’s land use fee schedule, presented by Brian Hartsell.
Additional agenda items include amending Section 15.08.011 of the Copperton Municipal Code to adopt the 2024 Edition of the International Wildland-Urban Interface Code, in accordance with H.B. 41 of the 2026 General Legislative Session of the State of Utah. This item is being handled by planner Brian Tucker.
