West Jordan Planning Commission approves medical clinic site plan on Highland Loop Road

The West Jordan Planning Commission has given the green light for a new medical clinic to be built on 4.13 acres at 5557 Highland Loop Road, marking a significant step towards enhancing healthcare access in the area. During the meeting on January 21, 2025, the commission reviewed the preliminary site plan, which includes provisions for adequate parking and landscaping.

Commissioners expressed their satisfaction with the proposed layout, highlighting the separation of customer parking from loading areas as a positive feature. The site currently meets parking requirements for its first phase, but additional parking will be necessary for future expansions. Commissioner Allen raised concerns about parking limitations for potential future growth, to which staff assured that any expansion would be contingent on meeting parking requirements.

Paul Stringham from Peterson Development praised the collaboration with the planning team and emphasized the clinic's role in supporting local retail by increasing daytime traffic. He expressed optimism about the project, noting its potential benefits for the community.

The commission unanimously approved the site plan, with Commissioner Gonzales making the motion and Commissioner Allen seconding it. The approval is subject to all conditions outlined in the staff report, paving the way for the clinic's development and promising improved healthcare services for West Jordan residents.
