Orem City Council's Zoom Meeting

The Orem City Council and Planning Commission held a joint meeting on June 3, 2026, focusing primarily on land use and zoning matters. Key procurement-related discussions included a recommendation to update the city code on flood damage prevention to align with new FEMA floodplain maps and standards, which was unanimously approved to be forwarded to the city council. Additionally, the Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval for a rezoning request to change approximately 5.458 acres from public facility and R12 zones to R8 residential zoning to facilitate new single-family residential development. The meeting also covered upcoming priorities such as accessory dwelling unit regulations, housing affordability, and commercial zoning reviews, though no direct contract awards or vendor selections were discussed. The council emphasized the importance of balancing development with community concerns and infrastructure capacity.
