The West Valley City Council on Nov. 26 approved a general plan change, a zoning map amendment and a development agreement to allow an industrial/light-manufacturing project at 5892 West and 5998 West Parkway Boulevard.

Council members voted to amend the general plan (ordinance 24-45) and the zoning map (ordinance 24-46) and to enter a development agreement (resolution 24-154) after a short public hearing and brief remarks from a developer representative.

Why it matters: The decisions convert the properties’ land-use designation and zoning from residential/agricultural to manufacturing and clear the way for the developer’s planned buildings on the two parcels.

During the public hearing Chris McCluskey, who identified himself as representing VanTrust, said the company was ‘‘excited as VanTrust to be part of the community’’ and that staff from his firm would be available for questions as the project moves forward. The application materials described a ‘‘projected building size of 600 and twin 320 square foot’’ for the parcels at 5892 West and 5998 West Parkway Boulevard.

Council votes on the three items were taken separately. Ordinance 24-45 (general plan amendment) passed by majority, with Councilman Whetstone recorded as voting no and the mayor and other council members voting yes. Ordinance 24-46 (zoning amendment) passed by majority with one recorded no vote. Resolution 24-154 (development agreement) passed unanimously.

The council record shows the motions were made from the floor and seconded before roll-call votes were taken; the city recorder read each vote aloud. The approvals authorize the city to enter the development agreement required to proceed under the new zoning and land-use designation.

The city’s packet indicates additional ordinances and conditions tied to the development will be brought back as the project advances through permitting and building plan review. The developer representative remained available to the council after the hearing for follow-up questions.

No project timeline, employment estimates, final building dimensions beyond the text above, or fiscal incentives were stated on the record during the hearing; any such details are not specified in the meeting transcript.
