During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the future development of a property that has been a focal point in the city's transportation planning. The property, currently zoned for residential use with 20,000 square foot lots, is impacted by a proposed major collector road intended to connect 400 North to 400 West. This road, which requires a 66-foot right of way, poses challenges for development as it divides the property, complicating potential construction efforts.

City representatives noted that any changes to the current zoning would necessitate a zone change and an ordinance amendment, indicating that significant planning and regulatory processes lie ahead for any future development on the site.

Additionally, the city has an agreement with the Fellowship Bible Church, located on a portion of the property, which stipulates that the church must receive a one-year notice before any demolition of its building can occur to facilitate the road's construction.

The meeting also touched on the implications of the new road for traffic management. If the connection between 400 North and 400 West is established, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has indicated that Gilman Lane may need to be closed to prevent residential traffic from accessing State Street, although businesses would retain access.

As discussions continue, city officials are preparing for further presentations and considerations regarding the development and its impact on the community's infrastructure.
