What is a General Plan?​

• A general plan is a practical vision for the future unique to each of Utah’s cities and towns.
• A general plan guides growth and land development for both future and present needs.
• Each City and County is required to have one and the state law dictates how the general plan is created.
• A general plan does NOT create regulations or requirements, but may recommend new policies or regulations as implementation strategies.

Why does it need updated?

• Some communities regularly update the plan in accordance to policy, while others update the plan in response to new circumstances such as growth pressure.
• 5 years is the recommended interval between general plan updates and the City's current plan has not been comprehensively updated since 2008.

​What topics does the plan address?

• Land Use
• Transportation
• Housing
• Water Use + Preservation

• Economic Development
• Parks, Open Space + Trails
• Environment + Sustainability
• Public Services + Facilities

Should I be involved?

​Absolutely! Your input is essential to a successful general plan. Opportunities to participate in the general plan update process will be shared by the city and posted on the project engagement page.
