Midvale City Planning Commission — October 14, 2026
Midvale is updating its city code to match Utah state laws on who is allowed to appeal land use decisions. The change narrows appeal rights so that only property owners immediately adjoining a project or those uniquely affected can challenge decisions, rather than anyone who submitted a public comment.
