Key Provisions
This resolution:
- recognizes the importance of agriculture to Utah's past, present, and future;

Plain-Language Summary
AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
The Utah Senate passes this non-binding resolution expressing its support for "agrihoods" — residential developments that blend housing with agricultural features like community gardens, orchards, working farms, and edible landscapes. It encourages cities, counties, developers, and builders to voluntarily consider incorporating these elements into new residential projects, while explicitly stating that nothing in the resolution creates any legal requirement or mandate. Copies of the resolution are sent to the Utah League of Cities and Towns, the Utah Association of Counties, the Property Rights Coalition, and the Land Use Task Force.
