South Jordan council approves rezoning for proposed 32‑lot subdivision on South Temple Drive
Summary
The City Council approved a rezoning to allow a 32‑lot single-family subdivision at 9585 and 9633 South Temple Drive after a staff presentation and applicant remarks; council members raised questions about emergency access, water shares and fencing; no members of the public spoke.
The South Jordan City Council voted to rezone two parcels at 9585 and 9633 South Temple Drive from A‑5 agricultural to R‑2.5 single‑family residential, clearing the way for a concept plan that shows 32 lots.
Planning staff introduced the application and said the parcels already carried residential land‑use designations; the planning commission recommended approval in April. Eric Rundelzbacher, representing Fock Homes, told the council the developer intends to build homes “similar quality of home as we've built” in the Park Place development and is coordinating with adjacent property owners on the street layout and utilities.
Council members focused questions on site details they said are typically resolved at subdivision review: an emergency access loop that would meet fire‑code width requirements, a small potential sewer lift station shown on the concept plan, curb and gutter placement, cinder‑block fencing concerns and how water shares would be handled. Planning staff said some water shares will be required to be dedicated to the city as part of the subdivision exaction program and that detailed engineering design — including whether a back loop will have curb and gutter — will be resolved later in preliminary subdivision review.
Mayor Pro Tem Don Shelton called for the vote after no public speakers appeared during the hearing. Council Member Tamara Zander moved to approve the zoning ordinance 2026‑05‑Z; Missus Johnson seconded. On a roll‑call vote the council approved the rezoning (council members Zander, Johnson, Shelton, McGuire and Harris voted yes). The council directed staff to continue coordination with the applicant and the adjacent property owners as the project advances to preliminary subdivision review.
The applicant and staff noted today’s rezoning approves a concept consistent with the ordinance requirement for a concept plan but does not guarantee the precise lot layout; final engineering and development standards will be reviewed in the subdivision application.
