Key outcomes:

Ordinance 25-18 — Priority Builders rezone (item 9.a): Approved. The council rezoned roughly 4.25 acres at the northwest corner of 118 South and Redwood Road to RM-8 (multifamily residential) with a specific development designation limiting the project to townhomes only. Vote (as recorded in the transcript): McKay — yes; Hamon — yes; McDougall — yes; Perucci — yes; Broker — yes. Outcome: approved.

Compensation and pay schedules (items 9.b–9.d): The council held public hearings and adopted multiple compensation and fee items for fiscal year 2025–26 including:
- Compensation for elective and statutory officers (item 9.b): adopted (no increase for council positions this year, per staff presentation). Motion carried on roll call vote recorded in the minutes.
- Compensation for executive municipal officers (item 9.c): adopted; the council approved a public hearing and an up-to-4% merit increase option for department heads consistent with staff and council direction.
- Municipal fee schedule (item 9.d): adopted (Resolution 25-31). The fee schedule breaks out sanitation and recycling charges and implements previously discussed adjustments.

Real property sale (item 10): The council approved a resolution (resolution number recorded as 20532 in the transcript) to proceed with the sale of city-owned property commonly known as the Mascaro property to Evolution Development, the second-highest bidder, after the top bidder failed to close during due diligence. Council discussion confirmed the buyer’s earnest-money amount is higher than the prior agreement’s and that the closing timeline requires performance by August 1 (developer due diligence and closing deadlines discussed). Vote: motion approved on roll call (several council members recorded as yes; Council member McKay recused himself on the property sale vote per transcript notes).

Closed session: The council voted to enter a closed session under the Utah Open and Public Meetings Act to discuss the character, professional competence or physical or mental health of an individual and to discuss strategy on sale, purchase or lease of real property, including water rights. Vote carried.

The council’s formal approvals set in motion site-plan, engineering and county/state coordination steps for the rezoned property and moved forward the negotiated sale of the Mascaro parcel pending buyer performance and closing.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Riverton - City Council Meeting - Jun 03, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its June meeting the Riverton City Council approved a rezoning ordinance limiting a development to townhomes, adopted pay and fee schedules for fiscal 2025–26, and approved sale of a city parcel to a second-ranked bidder after the top bidder failed to close.","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},6527124,"Salt Lake County auditor outlines new property-tax notice improvements and an appeals tracker",177,58000,235000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3647564-f8689d22ee2265c5a83cc94a0f6c03af&start=58&end=235","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3647564-f8689d22ee2265c5a83cc94a0f6c03af/thumbnail_58000.jpg","/articles/6527124/Riverton/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Salt-Lake-County-auditor-outlines-new-property-tax-notice-improvements-and-an-appeals-tracker","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6527124-1a6ff0d963f29c6cf4099b4fd9cb287f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138735&Signature=SDEDLJkCN~Ot1-zxIs5oSArV6FEEubRZn2NdcmR8N4yTaM1oerFUVObFwWJcbCghJVUflALqIG08kCsVxk~OPK1Ledzan0a1Bq58Fve8NNNRwoi7HH-E5F6Xr8pbjLuWaHLmjf6~v-uIkqyUn-zgBXW~8Xf15msf9lbh5YN-tyuRVnYbhjxt7OU2gLNebtWLndIfOTLwLDxXi692WbUeYCd1033-HFW9GNa6S2~LRu9rNFOV8bYbbtNWaJhkIgC15o8Kx-v8NN6Xloxg9j04gnb3eGNw51sfbt4VTTjZmxGhMxYIFpWyBhrfOkC4thSIWZav~UM9VO5~5FOoKQK8tQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","RIVERTON, Utah — Salt Lake County Auditor Chris Harding told the Riverton City Council on Tuesday that his office will enhance the county’s July property-tax notice evaluations with a QR code linking to detailed information about taxing entities and a new electronic appeals tracker.

Harding said each resident will receive a notice evaluation explaining which entities are raising property taxes and why. He asked cities to link to the electronic evaluation so residents can see, for example, if a district’s proposed tax increase is intended to buy buses or hire counselors.

“To make it more simple for those who are appealing their property valuations…we’re implementing kind of a similar tracker [to a pizza tracker], so that when you put your appeal in, you’re gonna get notified via text or email where your appeal’s at in the process,” Harding said. The tracker will attempt to provide status updates and which department is handling an appeal.

Harding framed the changes as efforts to give residents “a little bit more power and oversight of their own property” and asked city staff to consider placing a link to the county’s evaluation on municipal websites when notices are issued. The council thanked Harding and noted the improvements could reduce public frustration with valuation appeals.","Salt Lake County Auditor Chris Harding previewed July property-tax notice evaluations that will include QR links to more detail and a new tracker to notify property owners of appeal status by text or email.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6527129,"Riverton officials plan parking limits, staged access and temporary EOC for Town Days",538,1414000,1952000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3647564-f8689d22ee2265c5a83cc94a0f6c03af&start=1414&end=1952","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3647564-f8689d22ee2265c5a83cc94a0f6c03af/thumbnail_1414000.jpg","/articles/6527129/Riverton/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Riverton-officials-plan-parking-limits-staged-access-and-temporary-EOC-for-Town-Days","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6527129-1588de25a3c2b4f3b6513c7fb49fc264/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138735&Signature=kbRYtHcbHDhUpBv1A2wrncC1RHVuKs2GbQbB4D-A29leHQblo9HhJ67t-WV6C3FMkC68qA20GNQeOoWuvUctT4hDDXBqEFaklRZLV6e6yvW2K774PORQoGx87wSelACz6JaOVsV0S0d5iOd7qGJYYlgXrzrW6YX26FHvT-JrcUkV3FYhcKG2zlnoqkHW~ACcLvbN3TPmwG7OkccpOtrMQRED43vSsI69L8H5HwX6WEAMvMYMKRfEmII1u4f9rPOiDAKBzXLQ2Mju0H-NA96Ozx2kbZr5BYyGmLlGnUgtFd-zMh1BSC5~fo9KtYp0j6YAH7lqZN309CHQjrT9a~T9-A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","RIVERTON, Utah — Riverton’s Town Days organizers presented a revised event layout and safety plan to the city council on Tuesday, including new parking limits inside City Park, staged officer staffing, and a temporary emergency operations center (EOC) at the high school.

Cheryl, the city’s Town Days coordinator, said brochures went in the mail this week and that rodeo ticket sales were timed to follow brochure distribution. She told the council the park’s 507 parking stalls will be largely reserved for fireworks fallout, vendor staging and timed parking passes; remaining visitor parking inside the park will be minimal. “We have a total of 507 stalls in the City Park. I have to block up 22 of those stalls as the firework fallout zone. A 71 stalls for the food vendors because we are moving the food vendors… All our requirements only leave 52 stalls, basically,” Cheryl said.

To avoid vendor resupply problems experienced last year, organizers plan to relocate many food vendors to a parking lot on the 128th side of the park to allow easy refill access. To reduce gridlock and improve emergency access, the city will encourage attendees to use nearby church parking lots and neighborhood staging areas and will staff entry points with officers and crossing guards. Organizers are working with Salt Lake County Emergency Operations to supply additional emergency management support and ham radio operators for parade communications.

Cheryl described the temporary EOC location at the high school as a response to last year’s congestion in the park: if the parade route needs to be halted or cleared, officers and volunteers will open side streets and guide foot traffic out of the route. Council members asked about shuttle and ride-share options; staff said they have discussed potential UTA shuttle services or private providers but noted that for many attendees a shuttle trip may take as long as walking from nearby lots.

Council members voiced mixed reactions. Some said walking from church lots is an established expectation; others raised concerns about the walk distance in summer heat and potential impacts on neighbors who will host parking. Council member Perucci asked organizers to publicize an ask that chairs not be placed along the parade route until Monday, June 30, to respect residents. Public-safety measures will include specific officer placements and a traffic plan the police department will execute on event day.

Organizers also confirmed event entertainment and sponsorships: the headliner is Colin Ray, a performer with Riverton ties, booked with a reduced fee through local connections. The Town Days coordinator said sponsorship revenue helps offset a large portion of rodeo and entertainment costs, and that ticket and sponsorship revenue had outpaced rodeo expenses in prior years.

The council did not take an action tonight; staff said the parking plan and emergency operations details will be finalized with police and emergency management before Town Days.","City staff told the council they will restrict vehicle parking inside City Park for Town Days, stage officers at entry points, use nearby church parking, and set a temporary emergency operations center at the high school to improve safety and vendor access.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6527134,"Riverton council approves Priority Builders rezoning for townhomes at 118 South and Redwood Road",2580,2560000,5140000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3647564-f8689d22ee2265c5a83cc94a0f6c03af&start=2560&end=5140","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3647564-f8689d22ee2265c5a83cc94a0f6c03af/thumbnail_2560000.jpg","/articles/6527134/Riverton/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Riverton-council-approves-Priority-Builders-rezoning-for-townhomes-at-118-South-and-Redwood-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6527134-ccb757e3812253ff95ef07fe05c64faf/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138735&Signature=S~aAlZW8rhu~0YMcD3VgVrmoo-ylv6zNJi3t0fG0zdmFdnlgAVDo~XKYuSB9kUSkbVxwebgvyHxzswmEavVdkPq5zUu-o4uiGArFHANGf4T-qYADUvu728dQWFrY5OIwuZrBj9kDMfrH3YUUavG2cM0AQtpKe65inTZxbDXL7ZPTeeC4VVR5HlP2gCGGnWWMx9bNjjJ54PxT6CQoCdg2wT7eKWdoW5vM1qLK-z7gPR9KJN-Ni4R5yinrW8TpYogT8J5r3KvjT-Qs-XO~ev1Z00AM1phsQTPK5R3hbtH2k8j0wL9xoK2EnaKQ-oMdoD37lP41rjuxaw9ZURQ9eiBHMQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","RIVERTON, Utah — The Riverton City Council on Tuesday approved Ordinance 25-18 to change the general-plan designation and rezone roughly 4.25 acres at the northwest corner of 118 South and Redwood Road to RM-8 (multifamily residential), with a specific development designation limiting development to townhomes.

The council voted after a public hearing that included multiple residents who live across Redwood Road and along 118 South. Several neighbors warned of traffic problems, possible impacts to the nearby Midas Creek channel and potential changes to FEMA flood-mapping. Planning staff, the applicant and council members said a later site-plan review and a required traffic and stormwater engineering review will address many of those concerns.

Jason (planning staff) told the council the application consolidates parcels with mixed existing zoning and the planning commission recommended the RM-8 rezone with an SD designation limiting the development to townhomes. Applicant Scott Yermish of Priority Builders described the planned product as similar to prior townhome-style projects the company has built in Riverton and said the SD limitation is acceptable provided the legal definition matches prior local projects.

Residents who testified during the hearing said they support development in principle but asked the city to protect neighborhood access and to avoid creating downstream flood-insurance requirements. “We want it to be developed — it has to happen — but please consider those that have to be there and try to move somewhere. It’s really, really bad,” said Shelley Sievert, a property owner on the east side of Redwood Road.

Council members repeatedly told residents the rezone is the zoning decision only; detailed infrastructure, stormwater, access and landscaping will be reviewed later through the site-plan process, which includes additional public notice. Staff and some council members noted county and state agencies already restrict discharge into Midas Creek and that Salt Lake County’s recent changes to allowable discharge rates make modern developments more responsible for retaining stormwater on site.

Council members expressed concern about density and traffic but said the developer had reduced density during the review and indicated a willingness to work with city engineers and neighbors. Council member McDougall said the area contains several small, leftover parcels that are difficult to develop coherently and that an RM-8 rezone with townhome limitations can produce a more cohesive result than piecemeal approvals.

The motion to adopt Ordinance 25-18 — “changing the general plan designation to medium-high density (5–8 units/acre) and rezoning the subject properties to RM-8 multifamily residential with a specific development designation limiting the development to townhomes only” — passed on a roll call vote. Council members recorded on the roll call as voting “yes” in the transcript included Council member McKay, Council member Hamon (spelled ‘Haman’ in parts of the record), Council member McDougall, Council member Perucci and Council member Broker. Mayor Staggs and city staff thanked residents and the applicant for their participation.

Next steps: If the developer proceeds, the project will return to staff for site-plan review that will include traffic studies, stormwater and access plans and additional public notice and comment opportunities. The rezone itself does not authorize construction; it changes allowable land use and creates the SD constraint requiring townhome-style ownership and unit configuration.

Residents who testified asked to be notified when the site-plan application is filed and asked staff to closely monitor floodplain and access implications during engineering review. The council said it will watch those elements in subsequent permitting phases.","After a public hearing with residents raising traffic and floodplain concerns, Riverton City Council approved Ordinance 25-18 to rezone about 4.25 acres at 118 South & Redwood Road to RM-8 with a specific development (SD) designation limiting the project to townhomes.","actionData","errors"]
