Staff presented the rezone and general-plan amendment for a parcel near 11800 South and Redwood Road that had earlier been noticed for RM‑14 but was amended by the applicant to RM‑8 before the hearing. The site sits adjacent to existing RM‑8 townhome development to the north and includes a portion with prior approvals or zoning histories, including a 2019 office-site approval that was never built.

Planning staff explained that RM‑8 permits attached or detached townhomes and condominiums as permitted uses and that conditional uses (nursing homes, medical clinics, public/quasi-public buildings) would require separate approvals. Staff also noted UDOT and Salt Lake County jurisdictional interests for road access and creek/flood control; the Salt Lake County-managed creek corridor (Midas Creek) may impose constraints on layout and engineering.

Applicant Scott Yarmish (Priority Builders/Newman Construction) described prior due diligence and said the team has conceptual engineering and the ability to pursue either a bridge, pipe crossings or tie-ins to existing storm infrastructure, depending on what the engineering and permitting process requires. He said the applicant prefers to avoid a direct entrance on 11800 South if feasible and will explore tying into the HOA/private access to the north or using a right-in/right-out on Redwood where UDOT allows.

Residents who live near the site raised traffic and safety concerns for Redwood Road and 11800 South, the effect of any change in detention or retention on downstream flood risk and flood insurance, and the potential loss of the area’s low-density character. Several residents requested the commission consider traffic, creek capacity and the number of vehicles generated at the rezone stage.

During commission discussion a motion to recommend approval was made that included wording requiring creek improvements to meet or exceed the 100-year standard. Commissioner Park offered a friendly amendment to add an SD limiting development to townhomes, consistent with adjacent development; the amendment was accepted. The commission voted unanimously to send the recommendation to city council. If the council approves the legislative change, the applicant will return later with a site plan and public notices (300-foot notice area) showing building layout, parking and detailed traffic/stormwater engineering.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Riverton - Planning Commission - May 08, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission voted to recommend rezoning a 3+ acre parcel near Redwood Road and 118th East to RM‑8 and to amend the general plan to medium-high density, adding an SD requiring townhomes and language to address Midas Creek flood capacity.","taxTitle","Riverton , Salt Lake County, Utah","taxId",7396,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6562887,"Planning commission approves Mountain Ridge phases 26A and 26B with safety and trail conditions",677,1395000,2072000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3241129-635af6e902db706f840cc70c654bb323&start=1395&end=2072","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3241129-635af6e902db706f840cc70c654bb323/thumbnail_1395000.jpg","/articles/6562887/Riverton/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Planning-commission-approves-Mountain-Ridge-phases-26A-and-26B-with-safety-and-trail-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6562887-fb410a5cce58bc2d92944d659a4b704d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771173632&Signature=IO2LfbBlBWwWWpimRfRZk78aDghbYTrfLGjSJdFTZPXa0yID38wcOAeWvZOm60eNoNOCMLHq8tDiSRfHoG5-qRkkkA4FQSxDEfbBd2wTZrnC0ZyaBk7GGpOzvuCh3tYrxfHkob-bqxhSx0xOykdAFCJLlzoOEpzaMvHZmi3c78kAIRwCgp~FPUgW04aDyaBO8M8MRHZAc70ZCFBQCTBg2GpeV7cSyN6kAhdGlJA72e2a~f9s87RVuoe6sSmE6imA1p2nPsEWkQRWKv~~Z3ExY68YyDgK6Gz6UJ1ntHCeZ3nb1VzTVf2X3XNsHqtHFal~AHLn0Tlh03SJYT-A88k9pw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Riverton Planning Commission approved final plans for Mountain Ridge Phase 26A (PLZ-25-8001) and Phase 26B (PLZ-25-8002) on a unanimous voice vote, including a condition that fencing along the Welby Jacob canal be installed before occupancy and that traffic-calming islands on Sentinel Ridge Boulevard be completed before the initial occupancy threshold is reached.

The approvals encompass detailed engineering and site plans for the SLR (Suburban Land Reserve) area east of Sentinel Ridge Boulevard near 13000 South. Staff told commissioners the two applications were presented together because they overlap and both reached the decision stage under the SLR development agreement and SDD review process approved by the city earlier in the decade.

The planning staff described Phase 26 as a mix of primarily townhomes and a handful of single-family lots, public and private streets, trail connections along the canal, detention ponds that will double as playing fields, and clubhouses and park improvements that will come with later submittals. Staff said Edge Homes will install the trail and fencing; the City will maintain city-owned ponds and trails while the HOA will own and maintain private portions under a public access easement.

Commissioners emphasized safety and circulation. Staff and City Engineer Matt Castle told the commission that Sentinel Ridge Boulevard was originally built through farm fields and needs islands at certain intersections to control turning and reduce cross-traffic issues. Staff recommended islands be installed before more than 30 units are occupied so early traffic does not create unsafe conditions.

Edge Homes representative Brandon Watson said the developer supports installing a wrought-iron fence along the canal before any certificates of occupancy are issued and that building the new road (Greenford Lane / 26B) is important to open access to the park and permit subsequent phases. Watson said the company is prepared to coordinate installation of the fence and road and to work with the HOA and city on staging.

Commissioner Clough moved approval of PLZ-25-8001 (Phase 26A) with conditions including an added condition that the canal fencing be completed before occupancy; Commissioner Kiel seconded. The commission voted unanimously in favor. Clough then moved approval of PLZ-25-8002 (Phase 26B) with conditions 1–7; Commissioner Kiel seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

The approvals finalize the detailed plans for the two linked phases under the larger Mountain Ridge block-scale plan; city staff said the park’s final design and the remaining park improvements will come back to the commission or council as required by the development agreement and phased approvals.","Riverton planning commissioners approved final plans for Mountain Ridge phases 26A and 26B, requiring trail and fencing work and traffic mitigation islands to be installed before occupancy of early townhome units.","actionData","errors"]
