Council approves General Plan amendment and rezoning for 6228 West 13400 South, 4–1
Summary
Herriman City Council approved a General Plan amendment and a rezoning for property at 6228 West 13400 South, changing 9.77 acres from Hillside Agricultural to Neighborhood 1 and rezoning 15.8 acres from A-143 to A-110 with a condition limiting density to 2 dwelling units per acre; the votes were 4–1 on both measures.
The Herriman City Council on Jan. 22 approved two related land-use actions for property near 6228 West 13400 South, adopting ordinance 2025-03 to amend the General Plan future land use for 9.77 acres and ordinance 2025-04 to change the Official Zoning Map for 15.8 acres from A-143 (one-acre agricultural single-family lots) to A-110 (smaller agricultural single-family lots) with a zoning condition limiting density to two dwelling units per acre.
Clint (city planning staff) described the two-part request as a standard sequence: amend the General Plan designation for roughly 9.77 of the 15.8-acre parcel and then apply the A-110 zone so the applicant can proceed with a conceptual subdivision. The applicant’s concept showed lots ranging from about 0.33 to 0.66 acres; staff said some lots larger than 0.5 acre could retain large‑animal privileges. Planning commission review had recommended approval by a unanimous vote.
Council debate centered on long-term plan objectives and neighborhood character. Councilmember Sherry said she could not support the General Plan amendment because the city’s general plan had been crafted over years to preserve larger-lot, agricultural and equestrian opportunities. "I just have to be a no on this," Sherry said, arguing the council should preserve one‑acre options for future residents.
Other councilmembers said the proposed zoning condition (maximum two dwellings per acre) and the proposed lot sizes respond to existing development patterns and housing demand on that side of town. One member noted that a nearby subdivision was already approved with similarly sized lots and said turning this parcel down could be inconsistent with recent decisions.
Councilmember 7 (mover) made the motion to approve ordinance 2025-03; Jared seconded. Roll call votes recorded: Jared — yes; Teddy — yes; Sherry — no; Steve — yes; mayor (voting member) — yes. The motion carried 4–1. The subsequent motion to adopt ordinance 2025-04 (zoning) was made by the same mover and seconded by Teddy and passed by the same 4–1 tally.
The ordinances place the property on track for a later subdivision application with staff review and Planning Commission consideration of final plat details. No construction approvals were granted at the Jan. 22 meeting; council action changed only the General Plan designation and zoning classification for the property. The council did not adopt specific lot-by-lot plats or infrastructure commitments at this meeting.
Next steps: With the General Plan and zoning changes approved, the applicant may submit subdivision plans to staff and the Planning Commission for final review and approval. The record does not specify a timetable for application submittals or infrastructure sequencing.
