✨NEW UPDATE ON THE BATTLE FORGED FOUNDATION SHOOTING RANGE PROPOSAL.

Location: Plain City, Near the Landfill

The Plain City Council held a work session May 21 to discuss a proposed shooting range on Western Basin Land & Livestock property near 4700–5100 W / 2700–3100 N.

The Battle Forged Foundation, a nonprofit focused on veteran and law enforcement training, is seeking a rezone from A-2 (Agricultural) to C-3 (Commercial) to build the range. The application originally covered a full 50-acre parcel.

After discussion, the Council directed the applicant to come back with an amended application covering only ~25 acres, limited to the actual shooting range footprint, leaving the remaining land zoned A-2.

Key concerns the Council raised:
- A neighboring property (Wineger) is slated for future residential development, creating a potential conflict
- Rezoning the full 50 acres risked unintended commercial uses if the shooting range project didn't move forward
- The applicant will also need to coordinate road access at 2600/2700 N to align with the City's master transportation plan

The city attorney clarified that the state's 1,000-foot rule is a noticing requirement for new subdivisions, not a ban on the shooting range itself.

Next step: The applicant is expected to submit an amended application with a refined legal description. The Planning Commission will hold a new public hearing before the item returns to City Council for final approval.

June 10th, 7:00pm-9:00pm. Happening at the Hideaway On Angel in Layton. Please drop a comment or shoot us a DM if you plan on attending. Also bring something with you to share as it is a Pot Luck Style BBQ.

You hope everyone has a great day today. Please stop remember, what today is all about. We are thankful for the brave men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country and our freedom!
