Bluffdale City Council Approves Text Amendment to Create New Residential Zoning Districts
The City Council discussed and voted on multiple zoning and land use amendments, including proposals for new residential zoning districts (R2 and R3 for half-acre and third-acre development) and amendments to existing zones. This generated significant public comment and council debate regarding lot sizes, density, character preservation, and the city's response to state housing mandates. Ultimately, the council approved Ordinance 2026-10, which is a text amendment to chapters related to zoning districts, creating new options for development patterns.
Bluffdale Council Approves Development Agreement and Map Amendments for Flex Retail Project
The City Council considered a development agreement, general plan map amendment, and zoning map amendment for approximately 50,000 square feet of flex retail at 2950 West and 139th South. The applicant sought to make three subject parcels consistent with the general commercial zone, including a requested deviation to increase lot coverage from 80% to 85%. The Planning Commission had forwarded a positive recommendation with specific findings regarding facades, access, and a proposed chain-link fence. Public comments were received, and the applicant revised their proposal to remove data centers, loan centers, and storage facilities, and to incorporate brick accents and meet glazing requirements. The council debated issues such as the chain-link fence, overnight parking, and the interpretation of 'construction sales and services' zones. Ultimately, the council approved Ordinance 2026-06 (development agreement), Ordinance 2026-07 (general plan amendment), and Ordinance 2026-08 (zoning map amendment), with an amendment to Ordinance 2026-06 clarifying that the fence must meet design standards.
