Walkable Communities Planned Near Park City

The town of Snyderville, located near the Park City ski resorts, hopes to include smart growth directives in its updated General Plan and Development Code. Snyderville Planning Commission Chair Colin DeFord said residents want communities that are walkable and serviceable by public transportation. “Planning is not a speedy process,” DeFord said. “But we need to create the tools for clustering so we can preserve as much open space as possible. We are not opposed to development. We’re just trying to do it smart.”
