Spanish Fork's Future
Spanish Fork residents and stakeholders have helped shape this draft Land Use Element through surveys, open houses, and months of community input. The draft reflects those ideas—how the city should grow, where new neighborhoods and businesses should go, and how we protect the places that matter most.
This is the final opportunity to review the draft and share feedback before the plan moves to public hearings and adoption. Browse the highlights below, explore the full document by clicking the link above, and let us know what adjustments you believe the city should consider.
Strengthening & Shaping
A simple framework guides the plan: protect what works and focus new growth where it can be supported. The plan distinguishes between Established Neighborhoods and Gateways, helping the city reinvest in existing areas while directing higher-intensity growth to locations with strong access, infrastructure, and services.
Guiding Growth
A citywide map shows the overall pattern for future development. The Land Use Map illustrates where different types of uses—housing, employment, mixed use, agriculture, and open space—are most appropriate. It is a big-picture guide, not a zoning map, and helps coordinate growth with transportation and infrastructure.
A Tapestry of Uses
Land use designations set expectations for different kinds of places. Each designation in the plan describes the types of development and community character intended for that area. Residential categories provide a range of housing options, from large-lot neighborhoods to higher-density districts near key corridors.
Achieving the Vision
Goals, objectives, and strategies translate the vision into actionable direction. The Land Use Element includes goal areas that address topics like neighborhood reinvestment, gateway development, environmental stewardship, and transit-oriented growth. These policies guide decisions on zoning, infrastructure, and long-term planning across the city.
An Invitation
Spanish Fork is at an important point in its growth, and the Land Use Element will guide decisions that shape the city for decades. The draft reflects what we’ve heard so far—protect established neighborhoods, direct growth to strategic areas, support housing variety, strengthen employment centers, and preserve the landscapes that define the community. Your perspective can help ensure the final plan reflects both the city’s long-term needs and the values of its residents.
