Orem City Council Meeting | 7.28.2026

The Orem City Council meeting held on July 28, 2026, included several procurement-related discussions primarily focused on capital improvement projects and zoning amendments. The council received an update on numerous ongoing and upcoming city infrastructure projects, including water line installations, storm drains, road paving, and public facility improvements. The city manages design, bidding, contractor selection, and project management largely in-house, which helps control costs and maintain quality. Additionally, the council reviewed and approved a zoning map amendment for a planned residential development (PRD) at 1875 South Geneva Road, including site plan adjustments. The meeting also covered updates on accessory dwelling unit (ADU) ordinances to comply with state law, with detailed discussions on setbacks, size, and parking requirements. Public comments addressed community concerns such as short-term rentals, housing affordability, and neighborhood safety. The council unanimously approved the PRD zoning amendment and adjourned to a closed session to discuss litigation and real property matters.
