In the year 2021, the city of Coalville is moving forward with the Wohali project, after the Council’s vote for it at their meeting on Monday, Dec. 14.
As Rick Brough reports, city officials judged that the project met the plain language of their code, even while the proposal has provoked some heated emotions.
The City Council on Dec. 14 granted a Master Plan Development and a Phase One Preliminary Subdivision Plat approval. The vote approved a rural golf resort development with 125 residences and 303 nightly rentals.
Coalville Mayor Trevor Johnson told KPCW afterward that the plan was recognized as a permitted use in the Ag-Zone location west of Interstate-80. He said that was determined by the city staff; by David Church, a respected attorney for the Utah League of Cities and Towns; and an ombudsman’s opinion.

Following nearly a year of controversy, the Coalville City Council has granted an approval for a second version of the Wohali residential/resort development west of Interstate 80.
The Council unanimously voted Monday night for a proposed rural golf resort community, with 125 residential lots and 303 nightly rentals.
The Council vote gave a Master Plan Development and Phase One Preliminary Subdivision Plat approval to Wohali.
The community debate over the property goes back to 2018, when it was annexed by the city.
The developers proposed a mixed-use project of over 1660 acres calling for a Zone Map Amendment. It was approved by the Coalville Council a year ago. But after a citizens group launched a referendum effort, the applicants went back to the drawing board.
