Pleasant Grove City Planning Commission Meeting 6/25/26

The Pleasant Grove City Planning Commission held a meeting on June 25, 2026, primarily to discuss and approve a proposed code text amendment related to water conservation standards for new developments. The amendment aligns with the Central Utah Water Conservancy District's programs, such as lawn replacement and switch to drip irrigation, which offer residents increased rebate incentives if the city adopts specific landscaping requirements. These requirements include limiting lawn width, slope restrictions, and maximum lawn area percentages for residential and commercial properties. The commission reviewed examples of new developments and discussed how the standards would impact landscaping practices, emphasizing water efficiency without affecting existing properties. After a public hearing with no public comments, the commission voted unanimously to forward a recommendation of approval to the city council for the proposed amendments to city code section 10-15-28 and related landscaping regulations. The meeting also included a brief discussion on the compatibility of these standards with existing commercial design review requirements and highlighted educational resources offered by the water conservancy district.
