Corby Talbot of the Public Works Department said recent state legislation and permit changes — including references to HB507, SB220 and HB368 as cited in the presentation — require updates to definitions, inspection authorities and procedural timelines in the city’s code. Talbot said one clear correction is to the city’s equivalent residential unit (ERU) value used for stormwater billing: the code contains a drafting error and should read 3,700 square feet rather than 2,700.

Talbot described other substantive changes: updated definitions to match the new permit; allowances for electronic oversight inspections (contractors submitting photos/videos for monthly inspection purposes); modifications to SWIP (Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan) review timelines and comment procedures; and clarified circumstances under which stop-work or work-order exceptions may be issued, tied to contractors’ use of best management practices. He said the city must allow electronic oversight inspections while retaining the ability to perform on-site inspections.

Talbot also noted a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for E. coli on the Jordan River and said staff proposed limiting some long-term stormwater management practices that could concentrate pet waste or other sources of bacterial loading — for example, disallowing dog parks on top of above-ground retention basins. The presenter said many of the legislative changes originated from large residential developers and alter review processes and timelines; staff reorganized the code to reflect those statutory requirements.

Council discussed the presentation and asked clarifying questions about Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) timing and the practical effects for projects. A councilmember summarized the change as more favorable to developers in some respects; Talbot confirmed that several changes followed industry requests but emphasized the city is meeting state requirements. Councilmember Ray moved to place the draft ordinance back on the agenda as unfinished business for the council’s next regular meeting on Sept. 10; Councilmember Clarissa seconded and the motion passed by voice vote.

Staff indicated they will bring the finalized ordinance back to the council for formal action after additional review and any edits requested by council.","Public works presented proposed updates to South Salt Lake’s stormwater code to comply with new MS4 permit requirements and recent state bills; council moved the item to unfinished business for Sept. 10 for further consideration.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6480089,"South Salt Lake staff unveil neighborhood traffic-calming program; speed pillows, crosswalks planned",806,784000,1590000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5691916-76b11abe5bdbfe5193e25a6015e06c09&start=784&end=1590","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5691916-76b11abe5bdbfe5193e25a6015e06c09/thumbnail_784000.jpg","/articles/6480089/South-Salt-Lake/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/South-Salt-Lake-staff-unveil-neighborhood-traffic-calming-program-speed-pillows-crosswalks-planned","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6480089-ca652d3b259e2a6d44c578df320ec95e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771152109&Signature=aX~0i6pn-iMQUNFORx8mzMRWMalV-48JPucNlqhkzG1EexqqLtMquNl8prvyA-rZmSgGV4j1G6vrVLEkQPYYs3Ryzm8bBmJiRIT4IneqNue6aOE7qQ~ApJgnpkXLKWokSsVRPaLtLC1YZJqr~hKP71rw030HA7pNuA7mIIYEdLy~aAGbrUYF5-xfZc1R1W--ytLYTsdn8tUkYIBGVIl4StjKK3oUpIUM1vs2tgvMIuEI5sewQA5y3fc1f-68bubJMs4RoGTZ0I-PGIZ28dhk1iPSWKmOYjFSao~CotdtdjEhLtDHySkX43vcLrEF05y1gRmJdbV4V4wnmp~wMoEI1Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","South Salt Lake city staff on Aug. 27 presented a new traffic-calming program intended to prioritize neighborhood safety projects, collect data when residents complain, and guide the city’s investment in speed-reduction measures and pedestrian improvements.

Jacob Moser, a staff engineer with the city, described the program’s prioritization criteria: measured average speed and traffic volume, presence and condition of sidewalks, crash history, proximity to youth facilities such as schools or community centers, and other community facilities. Staff said those criteria will trigger data collection — speed and volume studies, sight-line checks, and resident outreach — before any intervention.

Moser listed interventions the city uses or will consider: speed pillows (concrete, permanent), limited use of traffic circles, curb bulb-outs, parking restrictions at intersections to improve sight lines, bike lanes, and sidewalk improvements. He said the city is working with consultant Kimley-Horn on a Safe Streets for All plan and has applied for the federal Safe Streets for All grant; the city is awaiting award decisions.

Staff described recent or planned implementations: bulb-outs and a high-visibility crosswalk near William Walker Elementary and Carlisle Park Lane with a radar speed sign; no-parking/red-curb changes near Truman and Main Street after a fatal crash last year; design work to extend the sidewalk and add ADA ramps on Gregson Avenue; and plans for a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon near Wilson Elementary to improve State Street crossings. Moser said a recent speed study on 3745 South identified speeding complaints, and the city plans to add speed pillows there.

Councilmembers asked clarifying questions. One councilmember raised a pedestrian “head start” signal concept for marked intersections; staff said that idea looks promising and would likely require coordination with UDOT for major streets. Councilmembers also asked whether speed pillows are temporary; staff answered that the city’s speed pillows are permanent, concrete and embedded in the roadway.

Moser said the engineering department has posted the program and a complaint form on the city website, which residents and councilmembers can use to initiate the data-collection process for a particular street.","City staff presented a new traffic-calming program that establishes criteria for prioritizing neighborhood interventions, proposes permanent speed pillows in some locations, and seeks a Safe Streets for All grant to fund broader street-safety work.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6480094,"South Salt Lake council adopts Downtown Connect station-area plan to seek regional funding",715,507000,1222000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5691916-76b11abe5bdbfe5193e25a6015e06c09&start=507&end=1222","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5691916-76b11abe5bdbfe5193e25a6015e06c09/thumbnail_507000.jpg","/articles/6480094/South-Salt-Lake/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/South-Salt-Lake-council-adopts-Downtown-Connect-station-area-plan-to-seek-regional-funding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6480094-6e428b1af9c1602f5e165a029c72878e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771152109&Signature=CNgNYbNVM2weajwBR1MdqRx4n1R8QRNA-a-Mjzp7vffaXUBKq9Exa97xfZqXEL-yIkzQ5wYTsY~gaSCCQGGBC5KNDr0~6DrdCW9Dtep6-Z4Rl4cxGcr9lYQLGTaxGN6JQQXUFndkQxX1pAOPc~pmlv6ak585Mu3p1Mp3epRKJgkDOwraoWyUXu~PEH7hjiIujUIfpNLUdNdxdkZWhE0iVypqmed~4LCczrek9Npkg9dqJj~lomG8ujPtHSoRX6HQxzD7myVl5-TaR~ghvr66Zi4RQ19fTYY8GGNgYW7zR3Usqgn1YcGBkwDXmNwWerQrDqVUZYplzjiWnFlB3YQAzw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","South Salt Lake City Council on Aug. 27 adopted a resolution approving a Downtown Connect station-area plan that covers a half-mile radius around the Central Pointe and South Salt Lake Streetcar stations.

The resolution, presented by city staff, implements a state planning requirement under HB462 that requires cities with fixed-guideway public transit stations to plan the surrounding station area. City staff said approval is needed for the plan to be certified by the Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC) and to appear on regional plans used by regional agencies such as UTA and WFRC to prioritize funding.

Eliza, a city staff member who presented the plan, said the planning process included a public hearing before the Planning Commission on Aug. 7, which produced no public comments and ended with a unanimous positive recommendation. Eliza said the plan packages a number of actions: updates to the city general plan and mobility plan, creation of supplemental plans, and graphics and material the city can reuse in grant applications.

A principal feature highlighted in the presentation is a proposed at-grade crossing on Central Pointe Place to better connect Central Pointe Place with downtown. The presenter said Central Pointe Place currently lacks direct at-grade connections, forcing access from 200 South; adding an at-grade crossing would improve connectivity and make the downtown area more walkable. Staff noted that once the plan is adopted and certified by WFRC, the project concept can be shown on regional plans and compete for funding from UTA/WFRC and other sources.

Councilmember Clarissa moved to adopt the resolution; Councilmember Leanne seconded. The council approved the resolution by roll call.

The plan’s adoption is procedural but consequential: it establishes the city’s official station-area priorities, which staff said are already being used in other applications and grant requests. WFRC certification is the next formal step before regional agencies will consider projects in their funding programs.","The South Salt Lake City Council voted to adopt a Downtown Connect station-area plan covering the Central Pointe and South Salt Lake Streetcar stations; adoption is required by HB462 for cities with fixed-guideway transit and is a step toward regional certification and funding.","actionData","errors"]
