Several items included development agreements or deed restrictions (example: at 1122 S 900 E the applicant will record a deed restriction limiting rentals to 35% and prohibiting short‑term rentals). Most land‑use approvals passed with recorded votes. The Canyon Road rezoning drew the most extensive public comment and resulted in a failed vote.
