Murray sets hearings on development rules, power fees and 2026-27 budget
Murray City Council has scheduled a series of public hearings in August on development rules, power-impact fees, land-use classifications and the city’s fiscal 2026-27 interim budget.
The hearings create a near-term public decision timeline for policies that could shape how multifamily projects are reviewed, how fees are charged to new power users and how Murray plans to spend money in the coming fiscal year. The matters remain scheduled hearings and agenda items; the approved source packet does not show final votes or adopted ordinance text.
August 4 agenda covers development and power fees
The council’s August 4, 2026 agenda included the 2026 Power Impact Fee Facilities Plan and Impact Fee Analysis. The materials also listed proposed changes to Murray’s power-impact-fee code.
Power-impact fees are the utility-related policy issue in the schedule. The hearing concerns the city’s facilities plan, analysis and code provisions, but the available official information does not state the dollar amount of any revised fee. It also does not establish a specific effect on utility bills or project costs.
The same August 4 agenda included amendments to Murray’s City Center Form Based Code. The listed changes concern street-facing entrances, bicycle parking and minor site-plan modifications for multifamily development.
Those subjects connect the hearing to the city’s development review process. However, the packet does not provide the proposed text or identify a final decision. It supports describing the changes as amendments under consideration, not as rules already in effect.
Budget hearing is set for August 11
Murray has scheduled a public hearing for August 11, 2026, on the city’s fiscal 2026-27 final tentative/interim budget.
The budget hearing is part of the same public-hearing sequence as the development and utility-fee matters. The available city information confirms the fiscal year and the scheduled hearing date, but it does not provide the budget’s total, department-level allocations, tax changes or service impacts.
That distinction matters for residents reviewing the city’s spending plans. The August 11 listing identifies an opportunity for public input and consideration, not a completed budget adoption.
Land-use classifications follow on August 18
A further public hearing on land-use classifications is scheduled for August 18, 2026. The city’s public-hearing listings identify the subject but do not provide the proposed classifications or explain which properties would be affected.
Together, the August 4, August 11 and August 18 hearings put land use, utility fees and city spending on the council’s public schedule within a two-week period. The official notices identify Murray City Hall at 10 East 4800 South as the location for the city’s proceedings.
Residents and property owners who want to track the decisions should distinguish between the scheduled hearings and any later council action. The next listed hearing is August 11 on the fiscal 2026-27 budget, followed by the August 18 land-use-classification hearing. The available records do not yet establish whether the fee, zoning or budget matters will be approved, changed or continued after those meetings.
