Council approves 195‑unit David Weekley Homes development with 18‑month owner‑occupancy restriction
Summary
Marriott‑Slaterville city council approved a development agreement with David Weekley Homes for a 195‑unit subdivision at 2702/2800 West and 1200 South, amending language to specify 30 rental units and requiring owner occupancy for 18 months before units may be long‑term rentals.
Marriott‑Slaterville — The city council voted to approve a development agreement with David Weekley Homes for a 195‑unit residential subdivision at 2702/2800 West and 1200 South, adopting Ordinance 2026‑65.
City staff presented the agreement and noted an edit clarifying that 30 units in the project will be rentals. Council members pressed staff on a provision that requires an owner to live in a unit for 18 months before it may be converted to a long‑term rental; staff confirmed the contract language requires “the owner must live in the unit for 18 months before it can be used for long‑term rentals.”
During discussion council members also raised concerns about long‑term maintenance obligations. One council member asked how the requirement for ongoing weed control “for the life of the project” would be enforced; staff said the provision was intended to ensure the developer and then the homeowner association (HOA) would be responsible, and that the planning commission had requested the language to avoid abandoned, unmaintained parcels.
Brad Slater moved to approve the agreement; the motion passed on a roll call vote with three ayes and two nays. The council did not specify further conditions beyond the amended rental and occupancy language. The ordinance advances the project to the next administrative and permitting steps under the development agreement.
What happens next: City staff will implement the terms of the development agreement and the developer will proceed with permitting and construction steps required under city land‑use rules. Public hearing or additional administrative reviews were not recorded as required by the approved agreement at the meeting.
