The Trails Committee met July 16 to discuss a pump track and the Deuel Creek Trailhead, and to review minutes from April 16, 2026.

Centerville meetings: I-15 update, Chase Creek drainage agreement, and Fineline Steel site plan on the agenda

Centerville's City Council and Planning Commission held meetings the week of July 7, but minutes have not yet been published for any of the sessions. What follows is based on the published agendas only; no votes or final outcomes can be confirmed at this time.

City Council work session — July 7

The Council scheduled a work session to receive an update from the I-15 team on several items: the interchange, landscape treatments, the 620 N/Frontage intersection, the 6-F park property, and a 12-foot-wide Greenway trail. A closed session for legal matters was also listed as possible. No votes on ordinances or contracts were listed on the agenda.

City Council regular meeting — July 7

The Council's regular meeting agenda included two items for consideration:

• **Drainage facilities agreement** for the Chase Creek Subdivision, between the city, 224 Chase Creek, LLC, and the Chase Creek Homeowners Association.
• **Professional services agreement with Civic Review** for software services covering permitting, licensing, and applications for Community Development.

The agenda also listed approval of minutes from the June 16, 2026 work session and City Council meetings, plus reports from council members, the mayor, and the city manager. Councilmember Cheylynn Hayman was listed to report on Davis County Mosquito Abatement and the Trails Committee.

Because minutes are not yet published, it is not known whether either agreement was approved or how any vote went.

Planning Commission — July 8

The Planning Commission agenda included:

• **Final site plan amendment for Fineline Steel Fabrication** at 975 West 50 South, an industrial development. The amendment involves changes to use, building footprint, and a cross-access travel lane connection to the neighboring Steelworks site.
• **First review of draft code concepts for Detached Accessory Dwelling Units (DADU)**, which would be added to Chapter 12 of the Centerville Zoning Code.
• **First review of draft code concepts for Boundary Line Adjustments** processing, intended to replace existing Exchange of Title codes (CMC 15.09.140).
• Community Development Director's report.
• Minutes review and approval for the June 10, 2026 meeting.

The DADU and Boundary Line Adjustment items were listed as first-review discussions, not final decisions.

What this means for residents

The I-15 interchange and Greenway trail updates affect transportation access and recreation along the city's western edge. The Chase Creek drainage agreement relates to stormwater infrastructure in that subdivision. The Civic Review software agreement, if approved, would affect how residents submit permitting and licensing applications. The DADU discussion, though preliminary, could eventually shape what homeowners are allowed to build on their properties.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days. Residents should watch the city's official meeting calendar for newly scheduled sessions and for publication of minutes from the July 7 and July 8 meetings, which will confirm what was actually decided.
