West Jordan Council Considers 'Sugar Factory on the Creek' Townhomes, Focusing on Parking and Amenities
The council discussed the 'Sugar Factory on the Creek' townhomes development, focusing on parking, utility capacity (ERUs), open space, and the potential for rentals. The applicant, MacArthur Homes, proposed 23 residential units, asserting they are below the area's ERU capacity and overparked. They addressed previous concerns by including CC&Rs for garage parking and offering guest parking. The project emphasizes open space along Bingham Creek with pathways and a pedestrian bridge. The planning commission unanimously approved the project. Council members debated the adequacy of parking, the viability of the product for owner-occupancy, and the proximity to public transportation. Some expressed support for the project's density and amenities, while others raised concerns about potential street parking issues and the long-term viability of owner-occupancy enforcement. The project is intended for sale, with a goal of attainable housing prices.
West Jordan Council Debates High-Density Townhome Proposal Amidst Concerns Over Infrastructure and Zoning
The West Jordan City Council Committee of the Whole discussed a proposed development for 11.4 acres at 3009 West, 7800 South, involving 50 residential units (townhomes) and commercial retail space. The applicant, represented by Adam Nash and Garbett Homes, sought rezoning and master plan amendments. Council members expressed significant concerns about the project's density, potential parking issues due to rear-loaded driveways and limited driveway lengths, strain on utilities (water and sewer), and the height of the proposed buildings. Despite the applicant's arguments about market demand, affordability, and improved amenities like open space and creek access, a consensus was not reached on the proposed unit count, with many favoring a lower density. The lack of available water rights for the proposed density and the conflict with current zoning were key obstacles. The council also debated the necessity of retail space and the potential for renting units versus owner occupancy. Staff highlighted that the current zoning does not permit this type of attached housing development.
West Jordan Considers E-Bike Regulations to Align with State Law and Local Preferences
The West Jordan City Council Committee of the Whole discussed proposed amendments to e-bike regulations, aiming to align with new state legislation and local preferences. The draft code incorporates state definitions and classifications for e-bikes while allowing municipalities to regulate their operation on city paths and sidewalks. Key points included prohibiting e-motorcycles on sidewalks and the Jordan River Parkway, restricting certain classes of e-bikes based on power and age, and allowing lower-powered e-bikes on sidewalks with age restrictions. The council considered allowing e-bikes on paved city trails like Mountain View and Jordan River Parkway, with some favoring paved surfaces over natural ones. The discussion also touched upon the distinction between e-bikes and other personal electric devices and the potential for future legislative changes.
West Jordan Proposes Overhaul of Fireworks Licensing Regulations
The West Jordan City Council Committee of the Whole reviewed proposed amendments concerning the licensing of fireworks. The discussion focused on separating regulations for professional fireworks shows from those for the sale of personal fireworks, relocating the latter to the Special Business Licensing section for better accessibility. Key issues addressed included updating outdated language, simplifying the process, establishing a reasonable fee structure for personal fireworks licenses, and clarifying responsibilities regarding site inspections and cleanup. The council debated the appropriateness of a $100 cleanup security deposit and the potential for disparate impact fees for fireworks vendors, ultimately leaning towards direct cost recovery for licensing rather than broad disparate fees. The proposed changes aim to improve clarity, enforceability, and administrative efficiency.
West Jordan City Council Reviews 90th South Corridor Study for Future Traffic Needs
The West Jordan City Council Committee of the Whole discussed the 90th South Corridor study, which aims to address projected increases in traffic volume by 2050. The study evaluated various potential improvements for 90th South and 4000 West, including road widening, intersection realignments, roundabouts, signals, tunnels, and grade separations for the railroad tracks. Several options were presented and debated, with a focus on balancing cost, traffic flow, safety, and impact on existing infrastructure and residents. The council provided feedback on preferred options, particularly concerning the grade separation at the railroad tracks and improvements at the Old Bingham and 90th South intersection, and the intersection at 4000 West and 90th South.
