7 issues in zoning
Cotton Grove Drive Multi-Family Rezone
ICP West Division is seeking to rezone 4 acres at the west end of Cotton Grove Drive from agricultural and partial residential to all R-M-7 multi-family residential, clearing the way for future townhomes. A neighboring property owner raised concerns about proper fencing and drainage ditches for livestock safety.
Monument Health Fence Height Exception
Monument Health installed a 6-foot vinyl fence for its memory care unit to meet state safety regulations for elopement prevention. Commissioners debated the uninviting, prison-like appearance of the asphalt exercise yard and ultimately approved a 6-month trial review.

Proposed changes to Brigham City Code Chapter 156 will update regulations for multiple use, agricultural, and rural residential zones.
Annexation and Zoning for 1000 West Development
The city is considering a petition to annex 87.74 acres along 1000 West and assign it a mix of single-family and multiple-family residential zoning districts. This decision will shape future residential growth and housing density in this sector of Brigham City.
Airport Land Annexation
Brigham City is annexing city-owned land near the airport into city limits, assigning Manufacturing-Distribution and Agricultural zones.
Planning Commission Legal and Procedural Training
City staff briefed the commission on new state laws from the 2026 legislative session affecting ADUs, impact fees, middle housing, political signage, and planning ethics.
Storage Facility Zoning Restrictions
City officials want to stop massive storage unit developments from taking over industrial land west of I-15. By setting boundaries near 1200 West and Watery Lane, the city hopes to preserve space for high-paying jobs and manufacturing, especially since power capacity is limited.
