South Jordan Planning Commission Recommends Water Share Code Update and Future Water Study
The Planning Commission recommended approval of a text amendment to city code section 16.04.320, concerning water shares required for new developments. The amendment aligns the code with updated state law, changing the calculation method from acre-feet per acre to equivalent residential connections (ERCs) per meter. It also removes outdated references to non-residential water right exactions, a practice the city has not followed for 20 years. The commission also approved an amendment to schedule a future study session within 120 days to further discuss water availability, rights, and their impact on future development, particularly for water-intensive uses [cite: 235-499].
South Jordan Planning Commission Approves Detached Shop CUP with Height Exception
The Planning Commission considered a conditional use permit (CUP) for a detached shop and garage at 11739 South 1220 West. The applicant requested a height exception as the proposed 25-foot structure would exceed the height of the existing single-story residence. Neighbors were notified and one neighbor spoke in support. The commission discussed the height variance, setbacks, and potential ADU implications. Ultimately, the commission approved the CUP, noting the structure's footprint was smaller than the main dwelling and the applicant had followed proper procedures [cite: 86-227].
