Wellsville meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Wellsville agendas set 908 East Main rezoning hearings and annexation item; no votes yet on record

Wellsville's Planning Commission and City Council each scheduled a public hearing in October on a request to change the zoning designation of property at 908 East Main, according to the agendas for those meetings. Minutes have not been published for either meeting, so the records available do not show whether a vote was taken or what either body decided.

Rezoning request at 908 East Main

Lyle Riggs submitted a request to amend the General Plan for property at 908 East Main, identified by Tax IDs 11-093-0040, 11-093-0035 and 11-093-0012. The requested change would move the designation from Residential Open Space 1 Acre (ROS-1) to Residential Open Space 1/2 Acre (ROS-1/2).

The Planning Commission noticed a public hearing for 6:05 p.m. on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at the City Offices, 75 East Main, as part of its regular scheduled meeting.

The City Council noticed its own public hearing for 6:10 p.m. on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, at the same address. The council notice states that a Planning Commission recommendation would be considered alongside public input. The agendas do not state what recommendation, if any, the commission forwarded.

Also listed on the October 21 council agenda

• Approval of the Jared Nielson Annexation Petition
• Discussion of a 2026/2027 road project at 500 North 200 West
• Discussion of 2026 Founders Day Vendor Evaluations, including sending the evaluations out
• Approval of accounts payable disbursements

These appear as agenda items. The supplied records do not show whether the council approved, denied or tabled any of them, and no dollar amounts were included in the materials reviewed.

What the record does and does not show

Both October meetings are documented here as agendas only. Agendas list what a body intends to take up; they are not a record of outcomes. Because no minutes are available, this roundup cannot report a vote tally, a decision, or a recommendation on the 908 East Main request or on any other item listed above. Readers who need the outcome should consult the official minutes once the city publishes them.

The October 21 council notice also states that ADA accommodations are available by calling (435) 245-3686.

Coming up

The Planning Commission meeting scheduled for October 28, 2026, has been canceled due to a lack of agenda items. The notice states that no decisions or discussions will take place at that meeting.

No other meetings appear in the upcoming listings for the next 14 days. Residents interested in the 908 East Main request or the annexation petition may want to watch for posted minutes from the October 14 and October 21 meetings, since those are the records that would show what each body did.

Wellsville council meeting cancelled; 908 East Main rezoning set for Oct. 21 hearing

Wellsville's city bodies recorded no decisions on money, land or services over the past two weeks, based on the agendas and notices published for three meetings. The City Council's Oct. 7 meeting was cancelled for lack of agenda items. The two meetings that were noticed — the Administrative Land Use Authority on Oct. 5 and the Planning Commission on Oct. 14 — are documented only by their agendas; minutes have not been published, so no outcome is established for either.

The most consequential item still open is a request to change the zoning on property at 908 East Main, which goes to the City Council for a public hearing on Oct. 21.

908 East Main rezoning reaches the council

Lyle Riggs has asked the city to amend the General Plan for property at 908 East Main, identified by Tax IDs 11-093-0040, 11-093-0035 and 11-093-0012. The request would shift the designation from Residential Open Space 1 Acre (ROS-1) to Residential Open Space 1/2 Acre (ROS-1/2) — in plain terms, allowing smaller lots than the current one-acre standard.

The Planning Commission noticed a public hearing on the request for its regular meeting at 6:05 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 14 at the City Offices, 75 East Main. The published agenda lists the hearing and the proposed change; it does not record what the Commission did, and no recommendation has been published.

The City Council will hold its own public hearing on the same request on Wednesday, Oct. 21, starting at 6:10 p.m. at 75 East Main. The notice states the council will take public input and will also consider a Planning Commission recommendation. It does not state that any vote has been taken or decided.

Lot line adjustment at 56 West 200 South and 241 South Center

The Administrative Land Use Authority noticed a regular meeting for 2:00 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 5 at the City Offices, 75 East Main. The agenda listed review and discussion for approval of a lot line adjustment involving Jessica Fabricius at 56 West 200 South (Tax Id. #10-027-0046) and BWC Investments at 241 South Center (Tax Id. #10-027-0026). No other substantive items were listed. Because minutes are not yet published, whether the adjustment was approved is not established by the available record.

Oct. 7 City Council meeting cancelled

The City Council meeting scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 7 was cancelled because there were no agenda items. The notice was posted Oct. 2, 2026, and lists the meeting's scheduled end as 6:05 p.m. No decisions, votes or discussion items were listed.

Coming up

• **Wednesday, Oct. 21 — City Council, 6:10 p.m., 75 East Main.** Public hearing on the Lyle Riggs General Plan amendment for 908 East Main (ROS-1 to ROS-1/2), with a Planning Commission recommendation to be considered. The same agenda lists discussion of sending out 2026 Founders Day vendor evaluations and approval of accounts payable disbursements.

Meetings are held at the City Offices, 75 East Main, Wellsville, UT 84339. ADA accommodations are available through Leesa or Laurie at (435) 245-3686. Residents who want to weigh in on the 908 East Main zoning change can do so at the Oct. 21 hearing.

Wellsville City Council hears property tax increase proposal; planning commission reviews sign and smoking rules

Wellsville's most recent public meetings centered on a proposed property tax increase and a city council vacancy, though no decisions have been published yet. The City Council held a public hearing Aug. 19 on a proposed tax increase, and the Planning Commission reviewed updates to sign and smoking ordinances. Minutes for these meetings have not yet been released.

City Council

Aug. 10 — Council vacancy. The council was scheduled to interview three candidates — Jill Parker, Jami Van Huss, and Diane Bailey Roundy — to fill a mid-term vacancy, then elect and appoint one and administer the oath of office. No minutes have been published, so the outcome is not known.

Aug. 19 — Property tax hearing. The council held a public hearing on a proposed property tax increase for the 2026/2027 budget year. Agenda materials listed two proposed increases: one of $4,060 (1.12%) to fund a part-time contracted city planner, and another of $3,703 (1.04%) in budgeted revenue. For a $578,000 residence, one agenda item listed an average increase of $2.86 per year, from $254.96 to $257.83; another listed a $2.54 increase, from $254.96 to $257.50. For a $578,000 business, increases of $9.15 (from $814.45 to $823.60) and $4.62 (from $463.56 to $468.18) were listed. The council also considered Resolution 2026-07, which would implement the increase. The hearing was held at 75 East Main, and the council could have voted on the increase following the hearing, but no minutes are available.

Planning Commission

Aug. 12 — Sign and smoking ordinance updates. The commission reviewed proposed updates to the Sign Ordinance and the Smoking Prohibited Ordinance for city parks, cemeteries, and recreational areas. No minutes have been published.

Coming up

Aug. 26 — Planning Commission. The commission will hold public hearings on two code amendments: one to add a section to Title 4 prohibiting smoking in city parks, recreational areas, cemeteries, and near mass gatherings; and another to amend the sign ordinance in Title 10, including definitions. The meeting starts at 6:05 PM at 75 East Main.

Sept. 2 — City Council. The council will hold public hearings on the same two code amendments, receiving public input and considering Planning Commission recommendations. The meeting is at 75 East Main, with no other business listed on the agenda.

Wellsville's August 5 Council Meeting Packed With Fire Code, Smoking Ban, Vacancy Appointment, and Tax Discussion

Wellsville residents saw little official action over the past two weeks, with the Planning Commission canceling its July 22 meeting for lack of agenda items and the City Council's July 29 agenda focused on procedural steps for filling a mid-term council vacancy. Minutes from the July 29 meeting have not yet been published, so no decisions from that session are on the record yet.

The consequential items are all queued for the August 5 City Council meeting, which will include public hearings, a council appointment, a tax increase discussion, and a planning workshop.

Planning Commission Meeting Canceled

The Wellsville City Planning Commission meeting scheduled for July 22, 2026, was canceled because there were no items to address. No decisions or discussions took place.

Mid-Term Council Vacancy

The City Council is filling a mid-term vacancy with the appointed member serving through January 5, 2028. The application deadline was July 29, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Public interviews and the appointment are scheduled for August 5, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at 75 East Main.

Three candidates are listed in the upcoming agenda: Jill Parker, Jamie VanHuss (also listed as Jami Van Huss), and Dianne Roundy (also listed as Diane Bailey Roundy). The differing spellings appear across separate agenda entries for the same meeting.

Fire Safety Code Amendments

The Council will hold a public hearing on amending Title 10's Wildland/Urban Interface Fire Safety (FS) Overlay Zone. The proposed amendment would adopt the 2006 Utah Wildland-Urban Interface Code, the 2003 Edition of the International Wildland-Urban Interface Code, and the Wellsville City Wildland-Urban Interface Map. No vote outcome is available yet; this is a proposed action scheduled for August 5.

Smoking Ban Proposal

A separate public hearing on August 5 will cover a proposed code amendment banning smoking in city parks, recreational areas, cemeteries, and near mass gatherings. The amendment would add Section 6 to Chapter 7 of Title 4 (Health and Sanitation). The Planning Commission has provided a recommendation for the Council's consideration. The Council will consider approving the amendment after receiving public input.

Proposed Tax Increase

The Council will provide a statement regarding a proposed tax increase for the 2026/2027 budget year. The proposed increase is approximately $4,060 in additional revenue, representing a 1.12% increase. This is listed as a discussion item on the August 5 agenda.

General Plan Workshop and Sign Ordinance

The City Council and Planning Commission will hold a joint workshop on General Plan Goals and Strategies. The agenda also includes an update and discussion on the Sign Ordinance, presented by Citi Design.

Coming Up

• **August 5, 2026, 6:00 p.m. at 75 East Main** — City Council meeting featuring public hearings on fire safety code amendments and the proposed smoking ban, interviews and appointment for the mid-term council vacancy, a statement on the proposed 2026/2027 tax increase, a General Plan workshop, and a sign ordinance discussion. This is the meeting most likely to affect residents directly this month.

All details above are drawn from official agendas. Minutes from the July 29 City Council meeting have not been published, so outcomes from that session are not yet confirmed in the record.
