Near 650 South 1200 West · 6.39 acres · 72 units
Heron Ridge Townhomes is a proposed townhome neighborhood on about 6.39 acres at 650 South 1200 West, zoned P-R-M-7. The townhomes were first part of Heron Ridge Phase 1 but were pulled out for more design work and are now submitted on their own. The council's packet describes front- and rear-loaded units around internal drive aisles with visitor parking and pedestrian links, and 20-foot-wide units with two-car garages along 1200 West. The site sits beside a planned trail on 650 South, and staff reviewed privacy, fire lanes and circulation. The packet counts the units two ways: the council memo and plans show 72, while the staff evaluation's overview says 78 and asks the applicant to correct the notes. On Oct. 6 the Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval, with conditions on matching exteriors, upgraded materials facing 650 South and 1250 West, a half bath on every main floor, and a strong recommendation for wrought-iron fencing along the trail. The City Council took up the preliminary plat on Oct. 15; its decision is not in a posted record. A preliminary plat is an early approval step and does not authorize construction.

Near the Brigham City sports complex · 13.53 acres
Brigham City sold about 13.53 acres of city land to the Box Elder School District for $1,528,889 so the district can build an elementary school on the city's west side, near the sports complex. The council approved the sale 3-0 on Oct. 1, 2026, with three of its six seats filled that night, according to approved minutes. The city administrator said the city and district negotiated for more than a year and that about 2,700 homes are in various stages of development nearby. The vote authorizes the mayor to sign the purchase agreement and closing documents, and the minutes do not say when the sale closes or when the district would design, bid or open a school.
