Tooele County Planning Commission Meeting July 22, 2026

The Tooele County Planning Commission held a meeting on July 22, 2026, primarily addressing land use and zoning matters including subdivision amendments, conditional use permits, and rezoning requests. Key procurement-related discussions involved approving subdivision amendments for property expansions and a conditional use permit for ETSRS LLC to operate a land farming facility for contaminated soil remediation. The commission also reviewed a rezoning request for a gravel excavation project, with extensive discussion on truck traffic routes and infrastructure impacts. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the proposed Regional Significant Development Zone overlay and a new land use ordinance (Chapter 34) to regulate data center facilities. The commission heard extensive public comments expressing concerns about environmental impacts, water usage, noise, and economic benefits of data centers. Due to the complexity and public input, the commission voted to table the data center ordinance to allow further refinement and a work session before final recommendation to the county council. No contract awards or vendor selections were made, but the meeting set the stage for future procurement and regulatory activity related to land development and data center projects in the county.
