Planning commission approves 16‑unit townhome subdivision at 7835 S. Holden St.
Summary
Midvale Planning Commission granted preliminary subdivision approval for a 16‑unit, for‑sale townhome development at 7835 South Holden Street in the RM‑25 zone; staff said the project meets applicable codes and the developer said earlier site plan approval allows unit sales to proceed.
The Midvale City Planning Commission approved preliminary subdivision plat for a 16‑unit townhome development at 7835 South Holden Street during its public hearing.
The vote authorizes Canyon Hollow Development’s proposal in the RM‑25 (multifamily residential medium‑to‑high density) zone. Staff said the proposal has been reviewed by engineering, building, fire and planning and meets applicable codes and standards; the developer told the commission the site plan had been approved previously.
The item matters to neighborhood residents because the project converts the site into for‑sale townhomes rather than rental units and triggers subdivision platting and infrastructure requirements. The commission’s approval allows the developer to complete the subdivision steps required before selling units.
Elizabeth (staff presenter) told the commission: "This, of course, has been reviewed by engineering building official fire planning. Everyone is okay with that and meets all respective codes and guidelines." Developer David Jenkins, representing Canyon Hollow Development, said, "This is just getting the plat approved so that they can start selling the units." Jenkins also said the project received site‑plan approval a few years earlier and staff has worked with the applicant over time.
The commission opened and closed the public hearing with no members of the public speaking. Commissioners then moved to approve the preliminary subdivision with findings in the staff report. The recorded roll call vote was Chair Anderson — yes; Vice Chair Erickson — yes; Commissioner Snow — yes; Commissioner Tippett — yes; Commissioner Licki — yes. The motion passed.
Next steps identified in the hearing: the approval finalizes the preliminary subdivision decision; Jenkins said the prior site‑plan approval remains in place and the developer may proceed with platting and unit sales. The record did not specify a timeline for final plat recording or building permits.
Speakers quoted or named in the meeting were Chair Anderson; Vice Chair Erickson; Commissioner Tippett; Commissioner Snow; Commissioner Licki; Elizabeth (staff presenter); David Jenkins (developer representative); and a city attorney (staff member) who advised the commission on the administrative standard for approval.
