Daniel Town Council weighs development moratorium; no minutes published yet
Daniel town officials held several meetings over the past week, but none of the minutes have been published, so no formal decisions are confirmed. The most significant item on the table was a Town Council vote on a temporary moratorium on development in the P-160 Preservation Zone.
Town Council special meeting on P-160 moratorium
The Daniel Town Council held a special meeting on August 21, 2026, to consider a temporary moratorium on development in the P-160 Preservation Zone. The agenda included public comment (limited to two minutes per person) and a vote on the moratorium, listed as DO 2026-08-21. The meeting was posted as an emergency notice and scheduled for one hour. It took place at the Daniel Town Office, 3500 S Highway 40 Ste A, Daniel, UT 84032. No minutes have been published, so the outcome of the vote is not yet known.
Planning Commission public hearing on accessory structure
On August 19, 2026, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider a conditional use permit for parcel #22-0753 at 1527 E Little Sweden Rd. The permit would allow an accessory structure exceeding 1,500 square feet. The hearing was held at the Wasatch County Services Building, 55 South 500 East, Conference Room B, Heber City, UT. Written comments were accepted via email at clerk@danielutah.gov or by mail to the Daniel Town office, 3500 S Hwy 40, #2, Daniel, UT 84032. No decision has been published.
Planning Commission regular meeting
The Planning Commission also held its regularly scheduled meeting on August 19, 2026, at 7:00 PM at the same location. The agenda had not been finalized before the meeting, so no specific items were listed for discussion or decision. Minutes have not yet been published.
