The Enoch City Planning Commission held a meeting to consider amending the city code for the R-1-18 zone. The agenda included discussions on permitted and conditional uses, the annexation policy plan, and projected population growth within the city.
During the meeting, the commission reviewed proposed changes to the annexation policy plan and declaration area. City Manager Ryan Robinson noted that the existing policy plan requires formal amendment before any annexation can proceed. The proposed updates include revising references to the Utah State Code following recent renumbering by the state.
Staff also discussed the inclusion of language encouraging petitioners to meet with city staff prior to submitting annexation petitions. Regarding population, internal estimates suggested Enoch's population could grow from approximately 8,000 to 9,000 residents to between 13,000 and 23,000 by 2050, with a mid-range estimate of 16,000 to 18,000 based on an annual growth rate of 2.5 to 3 percent.
The commission also considered amendments to the Enoch City Code 12.1400.1402-1403 regarding permitted and conditional uses in the R-1-18 zone. The review aimed to evaluate whether current uses remain appropriate within the zoning designation. A public hearing was scheduled for July 28, 2026, to consider these amendments.
Other business discussed included infrastructure concerns, such as water wells and road maintenance, and the status of the Alexander well expansion. The meeting concluded with reports from the City Manager and Council Member Debra Ley regarding community events.
