The Utah Lake Commission

The Master Plan

In order to help us accomplish the goals set forth int he Interlocal Agreement, the Utah Lake Commission intends to pursue an expeditious schedule for development of a Master Plan.  The Plan will provide guidance to individuals and groups who are prepared to proceed with projects affecting the Lake and its shore lands.  The plan will also be used by municipalities and state agencies with the responsibility and authority to approve or deny approval as these projects are presented to them.

The Master Plan will include the following correlated elements:

  1. A land use plan which considers Public Trust and Sovereign Land requirements in making decisions regarding the lake and the land surrounding it.  This includes balancing economic benefits and public access, use, enjoyment and protection and promoting land use planning coordination.
  2. A transportation plan which includes consideration for roads, access areas, buffer zones, restrictions and limitations.
  3. A natural resources conservation and management plan which includes, but is not limited to, improving the quality of the lake and its water in order to improve all aspects of conservations, recreation, wildlife, riparian interests, wetlands, and open space.
  4. A recreation plan which includes consideration for trails, marinas, beaches, entry points, public access areas and other areas of public interest.
  5. A public services and capital facilities plan.
  6. A shoreline protection plan.

The Master Plan is currently in the planning stages.  We hope to have it completed by January 2009.
