South Jordan Council approves rezoning for 3250 West 11400 South

The South Jordan City Council on Aug. 4 approved Zoning Ordinance 2026-06-Z to rezone property at 3250 West 11400 South from A-5 agricultural and split R1.8 designations to a uniform R1.8 single-family residential zone.

"And and with that staff is recommending approval of the application," said Miguel Aguilera, a city staff member who described the proposal as a cleanup of split-zoned parcels that would allow the lots to conform to R1.8 lot-size standards while retaining existing residential uses. Aguilera said the request primarily affects three parcels — two larger parcels and one small rectangular parcel — and that the applicant does not intend to change the current uses of the houses.

Applicant Cindy Wagstaff, who gave a brief family history of the land, said the property has been in her family for generations and that the requested change would allow practical lot-line adjustments for shared outbuildings and yards. "The property began, with my grandfather Peterson," Wagstaff said, telling the council the family has shared lawns and structures for decades.

Councilmember McGuire moved to approve the ordinance; Councilmember Kathy Johnson seconded. City Recorder Crookston called the roll: McGuire, Johnson, Harris and Shelton each voted "yes." The motion passed and Mayor Dawn Ramsey declared the rezoning approved. Mayor Ramsey offered condolences to the applicant for a recent family loss and wished them well as the ordinance took effect.

By council and staff account, the rezoning standardizes zoning to match surrounding parcels and permits potential future lot-line adjustments, although no specific subdivision or construction plans were presented at the hearing. The council did not receive public testimony opposing the change during the hearing.
