Grantsville staff and a contracted GIS analyst introduced an interactive city GIS map during the Feb. 17 Planning Commission meeting, showing how combined parcel, zoning, utilities, transportation and parks layers will be accessible via QR code on desktop and mobile devices.
The analyst said the map consolidates previously separate data sources — the county’s base parcel data and the city’s zoning PDFs — into a single interactive interface with 56 layers, allowing staff and the public to search addresses, zoom to parcels, and view combined infrastructure and zoning details. Staff demonstrated how the tool can speed application reviews and support planning, transportation and accessibility decisions.
Commissioners praised the map as a step toward modernizing city planning work. "This is stepping up to the 21st century," one commissioner said, noting that trail and county-plan layers could be integrated to support the city’s master plan and trail-planning efforts.
The GIS map is not yet published but staff expects to make it available soon; commission members suggested adding trailhead and county-plan layers and confirmed the map includes utility layers (e.g., sewer pipes, hydrants) that will help coordination between departments.
Next steps: Staff will finalize publication details and add suggested layers, and the map will be made available for staff and public use with documentation on how to access it.
