Commission approves 27-unit Signature Homes townhome project at 7444 S State Street
Summary
The Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit and small-scale master plan for a 27-unit townhome development at 7444 S State Street (RM-25). The developer said units are planned for sale at roughly $450,000–$500,000; staff noted required open space and parking provisions were included.
The Midvale Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously approved a 27-unit townhome development at 7444 S State Street on April 9, granting both a Conditional Use Permit and a small-scale master plan under the RM-25 zone.
Staff reported the site was rezoned by the City Council on March 18, 2025 and that the project complies with multifamily review criteria, including pedestrian connections and active open space requirements; the plan provides 7,815 square feet of active open space. The proposed 27 units are two-bedroom townhomes; staff confirmed required resident parking of two stalls per unit (54 spaces) has been provided and that eight guest spaces are included. Commissioner Michael Edwards moved approval of the CUP and Vice Chair Candice Erickson moved approval of the small-scale master plan; both were approved unanimously.
Applicant John Semnani of Signature Homes told the Commission the developer had increased outreach after early opposition and that the homes will be sold, with a goal price point between $450,000 and $500,000. Planner Jonathan Anderson noted the recorded development agreement restricts public access over an existing easement and requires screening or fencing to block access; two existing buildings on site will be demolished as part of the project. The approval follows findings in staff reports and the recorded development agreement; final permits and demolition approvals remain prerequisites to construction.
