Staff reported 226 detached single-family permits and 73 multifamily units issued in 2024. The city’s inventory now stands at 27,769 single-family units (about 73%) and 10,438 multifamily units (about 27%). The balanced housing ordinance uses a target of 77% single-family and 23% multifamily; staff said the city would need approximately 7,176 additional single-family homes to reach the ordinance’s breakeven point, assuming no additional multifamily units are built under ordinance exceptions.

Mark, the staff presenter, summarized the ordinance’s intent: to guide higher-density development into areas with infrastructure or special overlay designations — for example, within one-quarter mile of a transit station, in large planned communities (75+ acres), in interchange overlay zones, or for age-restricted senior housing. He explained multifamily permit totals can vary significantly year to year because multifamily projects often deliver many units at once.

Commissioners asked clarifying questions about whether multifamily units approved under ordinance exceptions still count toward the city’s inventory — staff confirmed they do count but are permitted because they meet exception criteria. Council and planning staff officials present noted the ordinance remains a deliberate policy tool adopted to direct growth to appropriate areas and provide predictability to the development community.

No formal action was taken; the report is an annual informational item required by the ordinance.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","West Jordan Planning Commission - January 21, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","City staff reported 2024 housing permit totals and reiterated the city’s balanced housing ordinance requires a 77/23 single-family-to-multifamily ratio; as of 2024 the city’s stock is about 73% single-family and 27% multifamily, leaving the city short of the 77% target for single-family.","taxTitle","West Jordan Planning Commission, West Jordan, Salt Lake County, Utah","taxId",21635,"location","Utah","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6670509,"Planning commission approves Taylor’s Grove preliminary major subdivision (30 lots)",4720,328740,5048920,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2172399-2069759966290ac38902ea8be3842c22&start=328&end=5048","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2172399-2069759966290ac38902ea8be3842c22/thumbnail_328740.jpg","/articles/6670509/Utah/Planning-commission-approves-Taylors-Grove-preliminary-major-subdivision-30-lots","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6670509-69ea1c499ded3c43a9a090b59242d463/orig.mp4?Expires=1771147988&Signature=PTDkCe8EUSnFUMlyOAYYfD3FmXW7031wE2aE1Hg~ZGb8L9kk0kWYuu4DMDb-BHyoceg2kQL0dXZdNi~8~I-hOLnx6ENUMcMScSd8y402oRwN3wrIzRpkhKAds28FnSqCevX4p-HtMfk5UGd52vfvXXUzkTlQtquEYBWEQYW~q4nJG10nUZXimEoAcbxQpRpR4~iFQQyobDrySMJlUkY6EGX~NwWXw2mKbcHlN7hlvXooo~Sd0nbJmTieecPhlP7lbSgdkJFGDS1dtSW0a5jQsn6EPyZTOikzDrCo9Fwy~Sx3PxPkCXDRwBxuhkPEZTJIwI6CS~DTvQ777idAukMNog__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The West Jordan Planning Commission voted 6–0 on Jan. 21 to approve the preliminary major subdivision for Taylor’s Grove, a 30‑lot single-family subdivision with three remainder parcels at 7230 South 1300 West.

Staff said the property is zoned R1A and the proposed subdivision generally matches surrounding densities. The staff report noted two corner lots (identified as lots 20 and 21 in the staff discussion) will be adjusted during final plat submittal by shifting approximately 350 square feet from adjacent lots so all lots meet the minimum area and corner-lot requirements.

Developer representative Robbie Thompson said the plan preserves an existing small commercial building on one remainder parcel; the current building houses a veterinary office that the owner wishes to transition to a new operator but that use is legally nonconforming. Staff clarified that a legal nonconforming use is preserved only if it is not abandoned; under city rules the nonconforming status is lost if the use is discontinued for 12 months.

Residents raised questions about traffic routing and the possibility of converting a planned connection into a cul de sac. Ken Nelson and Andrea Heard asked whether the cul‑de‑sac option had been reconsidered and whether a narrow pedestrian shortcut would remain. Staff replied that the proposed stub street connections conform to city code, which generally requires those connections, and that the narrow cut-through path referenced by residents was not a public trail and is not planned to be maintained as a public facility under the proposed plat.

Commissioner Allen moved to approve the preliminary major subdivision; Commissioner Anderson seconded and the motion carried 6–0. Future steps include staff-level review and approval of the final plat, engineering review of the detention basin and utility connections and construction permitting.","The Planning Commission approved a 30‑lot preliminary major subdivision called Taylor’s Grove at 7230 South 1300 West; staff said two corner lots will be adjusted to meet minimum lot-size requirements and a nonconforming veterinary building may remain if its use is not abandoned.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6670513,"Commission approves preliminary site plan for IHC Copper Hills clinic in West Jordan",814,3306570,4121120,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2172399-2069759966290ac38902ea8be3842c22&start=3306&end=4121","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2172399-2069759966290ac38902ea8be3842c22/thumbnail_3306570.jpg","/articles/6670513/Utah/Commission-approves-preliminary-site-plan-for-IHC-Copper-Hills-clinic-in-West-Jordan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6670513-1622b346c9595356b52e6c426d8c49e4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771147988&Signature=BPvohUyIblfnxZhYNtxIJTFtkg5dWk92FN~KTug4dJJCt4c8s5QAKJcqH1sxRxRwJ~yda5XTqzFiMy0yI6LTt8AxIhAoNARhwfEShmD6E~agftoxtAcmVvAyeKDpL~2aR7o26E3Au4RIRG9d6LKx-yxClPPicUmI2wArJ7l6Pp7VBfOnrByZrKbndbMznJr2N8UDMF2h0plNmbM6pRWMzoKmjHg8HyglmIQkC345LBCXjQ1pC7O18339LDLVTIPDK-CzfKlGtYw5tWlstOks2BnR-DQeX2bVId0WIBBz1uabmsVOL6dumvk4Dep18rjRW3UgDDO7Kh0p5K6AejibuQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The West Jordan Planning Commission on Jan. 21 unanimously approved a preliminary site plan for a new Intermountain Health clinic at 5557 Highland Loop Road, a site zoned SC-2.

The commission’s 6–0 vote authorizes the site layout, building massing and parking plan for Phase 1; staff recommended approval subject to standard conditions listed in the staff report. The applicant said the one-story clinic will offer family medicine, pediatrics, women's services and behavioral health in the initial phase, with space reserved for future additions.

FFKR Architects’ representative Keith Jensen presented the plan, noting the site is set back from 5600 West but will orient the primary public entrance toward that frontage and provide pedestrian and bicycle access. “Primary exterior finishes… primarily brick with stone accent at the entrance,” Jensen said. He also said a future addition is shown roughly south of the proposed building; “the site does meet the required parking for that first phase, but additional parking will need to be installed as part of that second phase,” staff said.

Paul Stringham of Peterson Development, a previous land owner, spoke in support, saying the clinic will provide daytime traffic that supports nearby retail and deliver a needed health service to the west side of the valley.

Commissioner Gonzales moved to approve the preliminary site plan; Commissioner Allen seconded. The motion carried 6–0.

Staff noted the preliminary approval does not permit construction beyond the Phase 1 program without additional review; future building additions will require updated parking and circulation plans that must meet code before permits are issued.","The Planning Commission unanimously approved a preliminary site plan for a new Intermountain Health clinic at 5557 Highland Loop Road; staff and the applicant said the site meets code and future parking and expansion will be addressed at final review.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6670518,"Planning commission approves preliminary subdivision for Copper Rim phases 5–9",3246,35820,3282120,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2172399-2069759966290ac38902ea8be3842c22&start=35&end=3282","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2172399-2069759966290ac38902ea8be3842c22/thumbnail_35820.jpg","/articles/6670518/Utah/Planning-commission-approves-preliminary-subdivision-for-Copper-Rim-phases-59","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6670518-90c9f34cb90e905a584d6b23db1ca5ec/orig.mp4?Expires=1771147988&Signature=SFTKm~AVm1ekuoVqQPgHuF7XAgq15E0sZjAI3PCKTPtQPUqnB4kQbRZfQIJcIoVLeBJtA59oLeDan1lbhgXdrhRllU2nIQ9KqH6zepbNhFBhe74LQPCBVY2LC-5gOUlzC3npcEPSrKvDFfKo0L~VEUwujNODbkL1CD3wGtuTiUDxSGvfVwLxWEKiiyj17JD96Nl7Cw2xAm5q~LkGubzGbEshvTAA~oMzG5BHoD8CHyOe-sS8SIONXvURHOzVlFbkV7yEoUu2MsTnsBzWKwWwvEICa5sHVeVezJzBfcaRiqi7N5aag6nA8sJzdbH80QO0Ontl6evYp3qvpRoUK-~cAw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The West Jordan Planning Commission on Jan. 21 approved preliminary subdivision plats for Copper Rim phases 5 through 9, a residential expansion on the east side of the Mountain View Corridor, by a 6–0 vote.

The approval covers 319 lots on approximately 67.92 acres and clears the way for the developer to pursue final plats and subsequent construction approvals. The planning staff recommended approval, finding the preliminary plats consistent with the previously updated preliminary development plan and the master development agreement.

Commissioners and staff said the approval is for preliminary subdivision layout only; final plats for each phase will return to staff for administrative final approval and review of specific construction details. “We would expect to see those at a final plat as opposed to this preliminary plat,” a staff member said during the hearing.

Residents who live in earlier Copper Rim phases testified at the public hearing that the development so far has not delivered the amenity package they expected. “I am a little bit disappointed that we're not getting more amenities,” said resident Stacia Karen, who said she moved to Copper Rim about three years ago. Several speakers raised questions about irrigation problems, dead landscaping and on-street parking pressures. “Do we know does the developer know when we have the water issues fixed before the new phases are going in?” asked Nate Hurst by phone.

The developer’s representative, Sam Barlow, and an owner’s representative said the project team is aware of irrigation and maintenance issues and intends to address irrigation repairs in the spring. “We are working with FCS management on fixing that issue… we fully intend to fix that in the spring,” a representative for the owner said during the meeting.

Staff noted that some plan changes prompted the resubmittal: phase 9’s previously planned senior housing was replaced by single-family homes and phase 6 was reconfigured to better follow an existing dry-wash corridor. Staff said phases 5, 7 and 8 remain largely as initially approved. The published mailed notice mistakenly listed different totals (432 lots on 93.02 acres); staff corrected that in the hearing, noting the correct figures are 319 lots on 67.92 acres.

Commissioner Hollingsworth moved to approve the preliminary subdivision plats for Copper Rim phases 5 through 9, and Commissioner Allen seconded. The motion carried 6–0 with one commissioner excused.

With this preliminary approval, the next steps are final plat approvals and construction review. Staff said those final approvals will evaluate turnarounds, emergency access and final amenity locations, and must meet the city’s standards before individual phases can be recorded or built.

Votes at a glance: the planning commission voted to approve the preliminary subdivision for Copper Rim phases 5–9 by a 6–0 vote; final plat and construction approvals remain to be completed at the staff level.","The West Jordan Planning Commission voted 6–0 to approve preliminary subdivision plats for Copper Rim phases 5–9, covering 319 lots on about 67.92 acres; public commenters urged more amenities and raised concerns about irrigation and parking.","actionData","errors"]
