Farmington's City Council will weigh a residential rezone and a new Fire/EMS agreement with Davis County when it meets Tuesday, Sept. 1.

The council's agenda, posted Aug. 27 by City Recorder DeAnn Carlile, lists four substantive items beyond routine business. A work session with the Planning Commission starts at 6 p.m., and the regular session follows at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 160 South Main.

Avocet Subdivision rezone and PUD

The council will consider rezoning land from the AA (Agriculture) zone to the LR (Large Residential) zone for the Avocet Subdivision. The item also includes a Schematic Subdivision and Preliminary Planned Unit Development Master Plan. The applicant is CW Avocet, LLC, a Centerville-based company affiliated with Cole West. Specific lot counts, acreage and site details were not available in the published agenda materials.

Glovers Lane right-of-way vacation

An amendment to an ordinance vacating a portion of the Glovers Lane right-of-way is also on the agenda. The agenda does not specify which portion or the reason for the vacation.

South Davis Greenway Final Report

The council will consider accepting the final report from the South Davis Greenway Feasibility Study. The study evaluated a continuous multi-use trail corridor, separated from vehicle traffic, stretching from North Salt Lake through Bountiful and Centerville to Farmington.

Four cities collaborated on the study, each contributing $7,500 in local matching funds. The total consultant budget was approximately $145,000, with $115,000 coming from a Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC) grant. Kimley-Horn led the study, with project manager Brent Crowther presenting updates at a May 2026 Bountiful City Council meeting.

Crowther told the Bountiful council the project could qualify for full funding through Gov. Cox's Utah Trails Network, which requires no local match. He estimated the trail would not be ready for implementation until 2030 or 2031.

Fire/EMS interlocal agreement

On the consent-style Summary Action List, the council will consider an interlocal agreement with Davis County for Fire/EMS services to unincorporated areas bordering Farmington. The Farmington Fire Department, led by Chief Shelby Willis, responded to 2,573 incidents in 2025, including 1,883 EMS calls, according to the department's 2025 annual report. The department covers Farmington's roughly 24,500 residents and the City of Fruit Heights.

The staffing picture is stark. At a November 2025 council meeting, Willis told the council that Farmington met the national standard of arriving within 5 minutes and 20 seconds only 33% of the time, far below the 90% benchmark. The city received mutual aid from neighboring departments about 350 times per year while providing aid only 54 to 56 times.

The Sept. 1 agenda also includes zoning text amendments to business park setback and height rules and updates to planning and zoning code provisions. Residents can email comments on public hearing items to [email protected] or listen live and comment through the city's website.
