The Herriman City Planning Commission is a seven member citizen board appointed by the City Council. The Planning Commission makes a variety of decisions on diverse items of importance to the City and its residents. The following is a guide to Planning Commission Meetings.

Citizen Participation

Citizen input into the planning process is very important and the Planning Commission makes every effort to encourage meaningful participation.

Comments are also encouraged from neighborhood associations and individuals. The Planning Commission is appreciative of the time required for everyone to participate and tries to reduce the time required and maximize opportunities for input.

The Agenda

The Planning Commission Agenda is prepared and distributed generally one week before the meeting. Only issues listed on the agenda will be considered unless a member of the Commission requests that an item be discussed.

The Meeting

If you wish to speak on an item, please complete a Comment Form and give to the Planning Coordinator at the time of your participation. This will expedite the meeting, and there will be an accurate record of who is to speak on each issue. Speakers must address only the determinations or criteria the Commission must consider, limit comments to 3 minutes and avoid repeating comments.

Public hearings are held on subdivision and zoning items. The public hearing process is as follows:

• Staff Presentation
• Commission members ask questions to Staff
• Applicant's Presentation
• Public Hearing Opened by Chair
  • Comments from proponents
  • Comments from opponents
• Public Hearing Closed
• The process will be similar for items that are not official public hearings.

If there has been public input on a case and it has been tabled, the Commission will not accept additional public comment. However, members of the Commission may ask questions of various people in order to clarify information.

After the Meeting

Following the meeting, the City Planner will send a letter to the applicant for each case. The letter will explain the Commission's decision and the next steps in the process.

The Planning Commission meetings are held in the Herriman Community Center on the
second and fourth Thursdays of each month at 7:00 pm.
