Council unanimously approves Jordan Bluffs Phase 3 master plan, developer to build 216 units on 10 acres
Summary
The Midvale City Council approved the large‑scale master plan for Jordan Bluffs Phase 3 at 8090 S. Seghini Drive. Wasatch Residential Group plans 216 market‑rate units on 10 acres, with more open space than required; council and developer discussed dust, parking and amenities.
The Midvale City Council voted unanimously Sept. 3 to approve the Large‑Scale Master Plan for Jordan Bluffs Phase 3 at 8090 S. Seghini Drive. Council Member Dustin Gettel moved to approve the plan; Council Member Heidi Robinson seconded and the roll‑call vote was 5–0 in favor.
Elizabeth Arnold, senior planner, reviewed the project history and approvals, noting the site is governed by prior development agreements including the Original MDA (2004), an amended MDA (2017), and a Subarea 4 Development Agreement entered in 2018. Staff recommended approval after review by planning, engineering, Unified Fire Authority and public works; the Planning Commission had unanimously recommended approval and no written objections were received from property owners within 500 feet. "Staff finds the proposed LSMP complies with requirements outlined in Midvale City Code," the staff report states.
Adam Lankford of Wasatch Residential Group described Phase 3 as "the last phase of the project" and said the proposal includes 216 units on 10 acres with more open space than required and an amenity package; he estimated construction would take about two years. Lankford said the dog park and other amenities will be for tenants only and that the project is market‑priced rather than low‑income housing. Council members pressed the developer on construction impacts — dust control, trash, and delivery‑truck parking on Seghini Drive — and Lankford offered to increase mitigation (water trucks, trash pickup) if problems arise.
Council discussion included bicycle safety and enforcement of improper parking in bike lanes, and a request that the developer consider alternatives to another pickleball court for on‑site amenities. With those assurances and no public comments at the hearing, the council approved the master plan by unanimous roll call. The council motion and vote were recorded as: Bonnie Billings Aye; Paul Glover Aye; Heidi Robinson Aye; Bryant Brown Aye; Dustin Gettel Aye.
Next steps: with the LSMP approved the developer may pursue specific development applications and building permits consistent with the approved master plan and existing development agreements.
