Gaslighting.
From the perspective of a professional planner, Utah doesn’t have a plan. It has a range of growth concepts, developed by public responses to public surveys, that try to placate the range of political agendas associated with growth.
Again, from the perspective of a professional planner, a plan, at a state or regional level, includes the following:
1. A Population and Housing Growth Projection that segregates growth by County and municipalities.
2. A statewide and region wide transportation master plan, developed to serve to growth projections in No. 1, that plans and finances freeways, highways, trains and trails needed to move the growth from homes to jobs and back again.
3. State legislation that counties and cities develop general plans and corresponding land use ordinances that will allow the development of the housing and employment needed to service the growth forecasts including affordable housing.
4 State legislation that requires update municipal general plans to be prepared in three years or less including approval by the appropriate regional planning agency that it meets the legislation approved in No. 3.
Utah is growing and we have a plan! WFRC joined Governor Spencer Cox to discuss the Wasatch Choice Vision, the shared vision for growth that provides transportation choices, housing options, parks and public spaces, and city and town centers to enhance Utah's quality of life.
