Series 23609

A separate agency history is available.

DESCRIPTION: Utah law provides that each city shall prepare a comprehensive long-range general plan to guide growth and land development within the municipality (UCA 10-9-301(1), 1997). The plan is designed to serve as a guide for decision-making on zoning and other planning proposals. According to law, the plan may include: (a) a land use element; (b) a transportation element; (c) an environmental element; (d) a public services and facilities element; (e) a rehabilitation, redevelopment, and conservation element; (f) an economic element; (g) recommendations for implementing the plan; and any other elements that the municipality considers appropriate (UCA 10-9-302(2), 1997). In April 1991 the Enoch planning commission set up a number of citizens' committees to make recommendations for a general plan. The committees met and came up with suggestions in the following areas: agriculture; beautification (design and zoning); cemetery; community surveys; economic development; emergency preparedness; environmental quality; green areas, parks and trails; public facilities and land use; recreation and fine arts; roads and transportation; safety; utilities and energy; waste disposal; and water drainage. This series is a compilation of the notes, committee minutes, or other material collected by these committees. At least half of the committees left no records. This series does not contain a copy of the general plan.

ARRANGEMENT: Notes and other documents are arranged alphabetically by the name of the committee which compiled the information.

RESEARCH NOTE: Minutes for the general plan advisory committee, to which all of the subcommittees reported, are listed under "report record," and are arranged alphabetically among the notes from all citizens' committees. This series contains extensive information about tree planting and care as collected by the beautification committee to encourage tree planting as part of the general plan.

RELATED RECORDS: Additional discussion of Enoch's general plan can be found in CITY COUNCIL MINUTES, series 23605 and in PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES, series 23610.

PROCESSING NOTE: Notes about the development of a general plan for Enoch were microfilmed at Southern Utah University under the direction of Utah State Archives in July 2001 and processed by Rosemary Cundiff in September 2001.
