Herriman council approves amendment removing 12.2 acres from Business Center CDA

Herriman — The City Council, acting in its Community Development and Renewal Agency role, approved a resolution to amend the project-area boundary for the Herriman Business Center CDA after staff told the board the new alignment of Juniper Crest Road bisected the existing boundary.

Blake, the staff presenter, said the road’s new curved alignment divided the original right-angle parcel configuration and that preliminary plats showed some lots split between being inside and outside the CDA. He said the county recommended removing property from the CDA rather than adding or swapping parcels because additions would require renegotiating interlocal agreements with each taxing entity. "It'll essentially remove 12.2 acres out of the CDA and staff's recommendation is to approve this," Blake said during the presentation.

Councilmember Teddy moved to adopt Resolution R202601; Matt seconded. The roll call vote was unanimous in favor, and the chair announced that the motion carried.

Why it matters: Removing acreage from a community reinvestment area alters which parcels are eligible for the CDA’s tax-increment financing mechanism and affects which taxing entities share future incremental revenue. Staff noted options to address rising fund balances in other CDA areas and said removing property avoids the lengthy process of renegotiating interlocal agreements.

Next steps: The amended boundary will be recorded if the resolution is implemented; staff remains available to answer developer and county questions about specific plats and the recorded exhibit.
