Francis meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Francis boards to weigh car wash code, subdivisions, zoning map updates

Francis city boards met over the past two weeks to take up land-use and code items, but no decisions have been published yet. The City Council and Planning Commission both held public hearings and discussions on agenda items that remain pending, with minutes not yet released.

City Council (Aug. 13)

The council met Aug. 13 to hold a public hearing on a proposed text amendment to the city's car wash code (Ordinance No. 2026-06). The amendment would allow a car wash on parcel RT 32-5. The agenda also included discussion items on Lot 301 Francis Commons, online residential permitting, and Frontier Days. The council reviewed routine consent items, including the invoice register and minutes from the July 13 meeting. A closed executive session was listed as possible if needed.

No votes or outcomes were reported; the meeting is listed as agenda only.

Planning Commission (Aug. 20)

The Planning Commission met Aug. 20 at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall, holding a public hearing on three items:

• An update to the city's zoning map.
• A preliminary subdivision proposal: Crittenden Farms, on parcel CD-2106, about 10 acres near 2396 S Willow Way, proposing five lots in the AG-1 zone.
• A code text amendment to update rules for landscaping businesses in the C-1 Commercial Zone.

The commission also reviewed Stewart Ranches Phase 5 and a zone map amendment, and approved minutes from its July 16 meeting. The meeting was open to in-person and email comments, with comments accepted by email to comments@francisutah.gov until 3:00 p.m. on Aug. 19. The meeting was live-streamed on YouTube.

Francis officials weigh car wash code change and water system review

Francis city officials turned their attention to a proposed car wash code amendment and a review of the Woodland Hills Mutual Water system in recent meetings, though outcomes remain unknown because minutes have not yet been published.

Planning Commission holds car wash hearing

The Francis City Planning Commission met July 16, 2026, at Francis City Hall to conduct a public hearing on a Car Wash Code Text Amendment for parcel RT 32-5. The public was invited to attend and comment.

The commission's agenda also included review of minutes from the June 18, 2026 meeting and receipt of staff updates.

Because minutes have not yet been published, no record of public comment, commission deliberation, or any vote is available. The agenda confirms the hearing was scheduled but does not indicate what, if anything, was decided.

City Council reviews Woodland Hills Mutual Water

The Francis City Council met July 21, 2026, to discuss the Woodland Hills Mutual Water system. The agenda listed three focus areas:

• Financial Accounts Review
• Well/Water Review
• Scheduling of next Shareholders Meeting

The session centered on financial and infrastructure matters related to the water system and on setting a future meeting for shareholders. Minutes have not yet been published, so no decisions, votes, or dollar figures from the discussion are available in the record.

What this means for residents

The car wash code amendment, if eventually adopted, would affect what is permitted on parcel RT 32-5. Residents who attended the July 16 hearing had the opportunity to comment on the proposal.

The Woodland Hills Mutual Water review concerns the financial accounts and physical wells tied to the system that serves area shareholders. The council's discussion was aimed at assessing those accounts and infrastructure and planning a follow-up shareholders meeting.

Coming up

No public meetings are listed on the Francis calendar for the next 14 days. Residents interested in the car wash amendment or the water system review should watch for published minutes, which will record any actions taken at the July 16 and July 21 sessions.
