Summary
Utah's 2026 land use bills changed the rules: new zone uses are now council-only legislative decisions, and planning commissioners face new requirements for removal causes, recusal, and training. The commission recommended the council adopt both changes — mostly housekeeping, but it affects how land use decisions get appealed and who decides them.
