Orem City Council sets July 14 hearings on State Street plan change, 360 W 1500 S rezoning

Orem City Council will hold two public hearings on July 14, 2026—both tied to changes in how land can be developed along the State Street corridor. The meeting is scheduled for approximately 6:00 p.m. in Council Chambers at 56 North State Street.

Two land-use items on the July 14 agenda

In its public hearing notice, the City lists two separate items:

• Public hearing #1: PD-53 concept-plan text amendment (generally at 1890 N State Street) — an ordinance amending Appendix OO of the Orem City Code by altering the existing concept plan for the PD-53 Zone, located generally at 1890 North State Street.
• Public hearing #2: Zoning map amendment (generally at 360 W 1500 S) — an ordinance amending Article 22-5-3(A) and the City’s zoning map by changing the zone of properties generally at 360 West 1500 South from PF (Public Facilities) and R12 (Single-Family Residential) to R8 (Single-Family Residential), covering approximately 5.93 acres.

Where residents can review the proposed changes

The notice says the proposed amendments are available in the Office of Community Development, 2nd floor, 56 North State Street, Orem, Utah.

If you have questions about the proposed rezone, the City directs residents to contact the Community Development Department at 801-229-7058.

The notice also includes accessibility information: if you need special accommodations to participate in City Council meetings, call the Community Development Office (Voice 229-7058, TDD 229-7035).

Prior Planning Commission review: what to know

The Utah public notice posting tied to the earlier Planning Commission step shows that the “KNEADERS NORTH OREM” request was reviewed at a Planning Commission public hearing on July 1, 2026. That earlier step involved a request to amend Appendix OO by altering the existing concept plan for the PD-53 Zone generally at 1890 North State Street.

How to participate (what the City’s July 14 notice actually says)

The City’s public hearing notice does not list a separate written-comment deadline or a specific sign-up/speaking procedure within the notice text itself. Instead, it says:

• The public is invited to participate in all City Council meetings.
• If you have questions, contact Community Development at 801-229-7058.

What to ask—based on the two specific items

If you live near or are directly affected by the areas described as “generally at” 1890 N State Street and 360 W 1500 S, these are practical, on-topic questions to bring:

• For the PD-53 concept-plan text amendment: Which sections of the concept plan would change, and what does the amendment mean for what’s allowed or expected at/near the PD-53 zone?
• For the PF/R12 to R8 zoning map amendment: What changes when the zoning map shifts to R8, and what kinds of uses or development outcomes should neighbors expect?
• For both items: How will the City evaluate neighborhood compatibility—especially around site layout, access, and how the changes could affect the character of nearby properties?

What happens next

This is a public hearing step. Residents should treat July 14 as the moment to review the posted materials through the Community Development Office and raise targeted questions during City Council’s consideration of the proposed ordinances.
