On May 13 2025, Orem City Council voted (4 to 3) to rezone the property that Wilkerson Farm has leased and operated in favor of residential housing development. We are currently moving off the property as required by the owner. But we are just one example of what this land could be.
If you believe the land should remain open space, then this public referendum is your chance! City code defines the OS-5 zone as "devoted to environmental preservation, agricultural production, or outdoor recreation". With this purpose and in this location, the land also serves as an essential buffer or transition zone between existing homes and the FrontRunner, industrial strip, freight train, and freeway.
If we can collect the required number of signatures, the issue is put on the election ballot for Orem citizens to overturn the narrowly passed zoning decision of the city council. Here's how YOU can help:
