Clearfield meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Clearfield agendas: supportive housing overlay, utility rules for large users, Planning Commission code update

Clearfield's recent government meetings were agenda-only: no minutes have been published for the Planning Commission session on October 7 or the City Council meetings on October 13. As a result, no votes, outcomes, or dollar amounts are available from the supplied records. What follows is what was scheduled for discussion and possible action, not what was decided.

Supportive housing overlay proposed at 1230 East 1450 South

The Planning Commission met Wednesday, October 7, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at 55 S. State Street. Its main item was a public hearing and possible action on RZN 2026-0903, a Davis County request to rezone about 4.25 acres from C-1 (Commercial) to C-1 with an S-H (Supportive Housing) Overlay at 1230 East 1450 South (TIN 09-022-0183; the parcel is listed at 5.26 acres).

According to the agenda, the overlay would allow supportive housing paired with services for people who have experienced homelessness. The agenda states that approval would establish the overlay only, not approve a specific development project.

The same item is scheduled before the City Council at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 10, 2026. Both meetings are in the Council Chambers on the 3rd Floor of the City Municipal Center, 55 South State Street, Clearfield, Utah 84015. Written comment may be mailed to Clearfield City, Community Development, at the same address.

Dog grooming business and townhome zone also on planning agenda

Staff items included a discussion of the Residential Townhome Zone (R-T) and approval of minutes for June 4, 2025 and August 5, 2026. A pre-meeting was set for 6:00 p.m. in the Executive Conference Room to review agenda items; the agenda notes that public comments are received only in the formal meeting.

Council to review Planning Commission ordinance, hold recognitions

Clearfield roundup: Supportive housing overlay on 4.25 acres goes to review; council to weigh Planning Commission code update

Clearfield's most closely watched land-use question this week is a request from Davis County to add a Supportive Housing (S-H) Overlay to about 4.25 acres at 1230 East 1450 South. The Clearfield Planning Commission scheduled a public hearing and possible action on the request, RZN 2026-0903, at its Oct. 7 meeting, 6:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at 55 S. State Street. No minutes from that meeting have been published, so no vote or outcome is confirmed in the records provided.

Supportive housing overlay at 1230 East 1450 South

The overlay would allow supportive housing paired with services for people who have experienced homelessness. The request covers roughly 4.25 acres of a 5.26-acre parcel (TIN 09-022-0183) and would change the zoning from C-1 (Commercial) to C-1 with the S-H overlay. According to the agenda, approval would establish the overlay only, not approve a specific development project. The same item is scheduled before the City Council at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2026. Written comment may be mailed to Clearfield City, Community Development, 55 South State Street, Clearfield, UT 84015.

Staff items included discussion of the Residential Townhome Zone (R-T) and approval of minutes for June 4, 2025 and August 5, 2026.

Clearfield City Council agenda includes property tax increase, budget; upcoming meetings set

The Clearfield City Council's Aug. 11 agenda included a proposed 6.59% property tax increase, the Fiscal Year 2027 budget, and a zoning text amendment. Minutes from that meeting have not yet been published, so no decisions are confirmed. The council also held a work retreat Aug. 14, and the Parks and Recreation Commission met Aug. 19. Upcoming meetings include a council work session Aug. 25 and Planning Commission public hearings Sept. 2.

Property tax and budget

The council held public hearings and considered a resolution (2026R-20) setting the 2026 property tax rate at 0.001253, which is above the certified rate and represents a 6.59% increase generating $233,106. The council also considered Ordinance 2026-11 adopting the FY 2027 final budget.

Public hearings were held on inter-fund transfers totaling approximately $1.33 million for FY 2027. The transfers include $170,000 from the Water Fund to the General Fund for uncompensated water used by city operations, plus $1,158,322 from enterprise funds to reimburse the General Fund for services. Specific amounts listed were $140,035 from Utility Admin, $359,186 from Water, $382,075 from Sewer, $231,168 from Storm Water, and $45,858 from Solid Waste.

Zoning text amendment

The council held a public hearing on ZTA 2026-0704, a zoning text amendment that would remove multi-family residential as a permitted building type on secondary streets in the Urban Core Commerce (UC) zone of the Downtown Form Based Code. The amendment retains office and mixed-use building types on those streets. The council also considered Ordinance 2026-12 to amend the Downtown Form Based Code accordingly. The change is intended to preserve commercial and mixed-use redevelopment flexibility pending a broader Downtown planning effort. The Planning Commission held a hearing on the matter Aug. 5.
