Cities and towns across the country are facing an unprecedented amount of growth which is directly reflected in the huge influx of development applications being received by local governments. Most planning and zoning departments don’t have the staff available to accommodate timely review of all applications in addition to working on special projects to continue to plan for the future. To compound the issue, many of these same cities and towns are developing under outdated regulatory and policy documents leading them to navigate the storm without the necessary tools to achieve desired development goals. This session will provide some insight into how the public and private sector can work together to realize these goals, what managers/directors can do to set everyone up for success, and tools for planners to manage their workload and stress.

Working from primarily raw ground, Utah’s natives and pioneers developed many of the early land use applications and heavily influenced the development of community buildings and culture. Daughters of Utah Pioneers has preserved historic artifacts reflecting the rich legacy of local pioneers. This tour includes a look at early architecture and lifestyles, featuring a full display of Native American artifacts and pioneer-era farm equipment, kitchen, bedroom and parlor spaces.
The Weber County Pioneer Museum serves as both an exhibition space and educational asset to the greater Ogden community. The building was commissioned by Brigham Young in 1877 and paid for with funds raised by Relief Society women through sale of eggs and butter. Dedicated on July 19, 1902, it quickly became a central meeting place for cultural events, including festivals, plays, concerts and dances. The structure is designed in classic gothic style and constructed of red brick manufactured in Weber County. On January 24, 2012, the 600-ton building was successfully re-located to a half-acre of land that was donated by Ogden City on the corner of Lincoln Avenue and 21st Street, in conjunction with the remodel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Temple.

Staff reports are one of the main ways that planning staff communicate with the City Council, Planning Commission, applicants, and the public. But are they communicating everything they need to be, and does the general public and Planning Commission understand them? After hours of research, review, and drafting, are staff reports doing what they should? This session will explore some of the best practices and review ideas for making staff reports more engaging, communicating the key points and being more accessible.

Campgrounds across the U.S. are overrun, negatively impacting user experience and overburdening public lands, but RV and tent camping is still on the rise.

We will share example ordinances, discuss potential impacts of camping to consider, discuss policy details, and more.
