Staff described a proposed pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the Jordan River at Bingham Junction Park; said West Jordan city staff are coordinating nearby work on the opposite bank; and said the project was advanced by neighborhood interest. The second application would add buffered bike lanes on Bingham Junction Boulevard and pedestrian improvements near the Topgolf and restaurant area to improve safety and walkability.

A third submittal seeks funds to revise the city's landscaping provisions to make standards more uniform and to better incorporate the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District's water-efficiency standards into local code. Staff said the goal is simpler administration and stronger water savings.

The fourth and largest item staff hopes to fund is an update to the Midvale land-use plan; staff noted the land-use plan has not been updated since February 2016 and that a new plan would synthesize recent planning work (including a new transportation master plan) and produce more actionable land-use policy.

Staff also reminded commissioners about an upcoming planning conference and proposed a final review session for an internal \"ground rules\" book.

Planning staff presented changes that would require master-plan development only where projects include common areas rather than for all multi-lot projects. Staff said lot-by-lot subdivision for single-family lots would generally not require a master plan; master plan procedures would remain required when a proposal uses footprint lots or creates common areas that necessitate coordinated design and homeowner-association maintenance.

Commission discussion focused on whether to set an acreage threshold for mandatory master-plan review. One commissioner said they were \"still interested in, like, a master plan requirement of acreage\" and suggested tying the requirement to the amount of land developed (offsuggested figures such as 5 acres were discussed), but others cautioned the city may not be able to force a development of a given size into master-plan review if the zoning permits lot-by-lot subdivision. Commissioners also noted that footprint-lot projects that create common areas would still require planned-development (PD) procedures and homeowners associations to maintain shared space.

Staff also reported an adjustment to parking rules: the amendment adds additional guest stalls (a small fractional adjustment described in staff materials) and clarifies the city cannot regulate parking in private garages or driveways. Commissioners said increasing guest stalls is a \"good faith effort\" toward a recurring public complaint about insufficient visitor parking, though several noted it will not eliminate periodic congestion on holidays.

The commission voted to recommend approval of the amendment as provided in the staff attachments and findings; the motion passed and will be forwarded to the city council for ordinance consideration.","The Midvale Planning Commission recommended changes clarifying when master-plan development is required, confirmed footprint-lot projects must use planned development procedures, and approved modest increases to guest parking requirements for developments with common areas.",{"_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},6461554,"Planning commission recommends moving vehicle-related use standards to staff review",193,90000,283000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5824008-5245c540c8f271b7a8e2c6e147a37561&start=90&end=283","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5824008-5245c540c8f271b7a8e2c6e147a37561/thumbnail_90000.jpg","/articles/6461554/Midvale/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Planning-commission-recommends-moving-vehicle-related-use-standards-to-staff-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6461554-f00f7ae10985fb67f6095bb3ebc9858a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770419960&Signature=AAcYbL-ZnQseY4SsjOxXCuflvs8Ye7vHE8AbywXSsRWo97JTyd9hk0M8ui~aDGQaVA~gDSIl8i11-pekAD1wcMWpCtHR7r9YWR4~ORl5TpgvwSUotLmSDLgjw4ysoX8tAk7F2wyIw57p-k63WreH1nJ1L5Wwj0mlZ72sKeWEJf1QpDymPIRvkyNjSvZcRLDlw~WFPcs050uVKktFSBaf0IGExxV1dRANr2J~7MSec-cWuTWZz~RaDhFbveHv1N23G2wvQnycNB0su3KbXYOsAEPeIbyPtsq4IWwn1J6jbJBk7cyxgWmm~eclv~1B~ikvqBHaD~K7WsuarEhFAyRUkA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Midvale Planning Commission on a voice and roll-call motion recommended approval of a text amendment to the city municipal code that narrows how vehicle-related uses are listed in several commercial zones and moves many standards to a consistent, staff-administered review.

Commission members said the change would reduce redundant hearings for applicants and make interpretation more consistent across zones. Liz, a planning staff member, told the commission the amendments revise definitions (including a new filling-station definition) and consolidate standards for vehicle-related uses so those standards are applied uniformly rather than through individual zone-specific criteria.

The amendment removes some uses from the commission-level review and places them in a regulatory path where staff can determine compliance against a common set of standards. Liz said building permits and code enforcement will still apply and that the measure is intended to streamline the process for applicants and staff.

Commissioners asked whether shifting reviews to staff would limit public comment on particular projects. One commissioner observed that, \"the public can't necessarily comment on it\" in cases where review moves to staff level, and commissioners discussed that applicants could still be required to provide information and that public input could be considered where applicable.

The commission approved the recommendation as described in the staff report. The motion was recorded as passing; the transcript does not provide a clear, unambiguous roll-call tally in text that names each commissioner's vote for this specific motion.","Midvale Planning Commission voted to recommend amendments that redefine and consolidate vehicle-related uses and shift many permit reviews from commission hearings to staff-level review.","actionData","errors"]
