The Nibley City Planning Commission convened on August 8, 2025, to address several pressing issues regarding local traffic safety and zoning regulations. The meeting began with a discussion about a problematic intersection, where concerns were raised about drivers missing a stop sign. A commission member shared personal observations, noting that poor driving behavior may contribute to the issue, despite the presence of clear signage.

The commission explored potential solutions, including the installation of larger stop signs, advisory signs indicating a stop ahead, and possibly a flashing stop sign, although the latter was met with some community resistance due to concerns about light pollution. The discussion highlighted the need for further study of the intersection, particularly at 2600 South, with plans to measure traffic patterns and assess the effectiveness of proposed changes.

In addition to traffic safety, the commission turned its attention to zoning regulations, particularly regarding lot sizes in new developments. A member expressed dissatisfaction with the uniformity of a recent subdivision, advocating for more variation in lot sizes to enhance neighborhood design. The commission agreed to consider adjustments to the ordinance that would allow for smaller lot sizes while ensuring that no single neighborhood bears the burden of accommodating all small lot needs.

The meeting concluded with plans for a workshop at the end of the month to further discuss these zoning issues and gather input from the community. The commission emphasized the importance of collaborative efforts to refine regulations that best serve the needs of Nibley residents.
