# Midvale City Planning Commission 9/23/2026

The Midvale City Planning Commission held a meeting on September 23, 2026, primarily focused on zoning and land use planning updates. Key procurement-related discussions included a zoning code text amendment to allow garages to encroach into front setbacks on corner lots, aimed at improving property usability and fairness. The commission recommended approval of this amendment. Additionally, the commission received a detailed briefing from Wasatch Front Regional Council staff on the ongoing general plan update, particularly the land use element. This update involves no upfront city cost due to a regional council partnership and includes extensive data analysis on housing stock, population projections, housing affordability, and fiscal impacts of land use. While no direct contract awards or vendor selections were made, the discussion highlighted future opportunities for public engagement and potential implementation recommendations that could influence future procurement and development projects. The meeting also included a staff update and discussion of lessons learned from a recent conference, touching on zoning practices and property rights.
