newrecordconfirmed No Valar permit request has reached Carbon County's Planning Commission; its next big hearing is Altigen's data park
2026-09-29 · csite-012 · Carbon County Planning Commission, Altigen JS, LLC, Duct Tape, LLC, Valar Atomics

The Planning Commission's notices on the Utah Public Notice Website from 5 May to 6 October 2026 (eleven in the website's notice list; the body page itself shows ten) list rezones, subdivisions and routine hearings, and no item for Valar, a reactor, Section 16 or the Wellington trust-land parcel. The June and August 2026 minutes (scanned; read by OCR) do not mention Valar. The agenda for 6 October 2026 (posted 23 September) has one land-use item: possible approval of a conditional use permit for 'a phased Technology Park and associated infrastructure located East of Wellington' on two parcels for Altigen JS, LLC and Duct Tape, LLC, with an attached 'Project Jurassic Spark' region map (added 28 September); Altigen's gas pipeline was before the County Commission in May (mine-050). The October notice says it was sent to a local newspaper, radio stations KOAL and KUSA, ETV Channel 10 and the state website. As of 29 September 2026 no Valar conditional use application, site plan or rezone appears in these records.

In plain termsBefore anything can be built on the Wellington parcel, Carbon County must approve a conditional use permit (csite-015). That has not started: no Valar item has come before the county's planning board. When it does, it should appear on a Planning Commission agenda like the Altigen project does now, which is the moment for residents to attend and comment.
verified 2026-09-29: Holds. Re-read 2026-09-29: body 1652 notice list; October 6 notice and its Altigen map (text layer); June 2 and August 4 minutes by OCR. Date changed from the future hearing date (6 Oct) to the as-of date of the finding; the claim that every notice names ETV's publication date was not re-checked and was removed. Second check 29 Sept 2026: PMN list endpoint for body 1652 returns eleven notices, 5 May to 6 Oct 2026; only the Altigen item matches a land-use keyword.
