General Meeting
Commercial zoning code amendments
The Council approved several updates to the City’s commercial zoning code, including the creation of a Commercial Flex (CF) option, though it was not applied to any specific property. The CF zone allows commercially zoned property owners to apply for approval to include smaller commercial spaces and a broader range of service-oriented uses. The intent is to encourage commercial growth in areas that are zoned for such use but have remained undeveloped due to factors like limited access to main roads, poor visibility, irregular lot shapes, or challenging topography, despite increasing demand for commercial space.
Commercial master development agreement for "Crescent" property
The Council approved a change to the Crescent commercial master development agreement to allow warehousing and wholesale uses as conditionally allowed within the 15.5-acre site near 5452 W Herriman Boulevard. The anticipated use discussed at the meeting is for a Black Clover corporate headquarters, including a warehouse and wholesale location. The Council and applicant agreed to require 5-foot berms constructed in a way to block headlight glare and general sightlines between the project's ground level and the existing adjacent neighborhood. The amendment will also require on-site contaminated soils to be remediated to Environmental Protection Agency and City standards before development takes place.
Work Meeting
Road cut ordinance discussion
The Council reviewed a proposal to strengthen protections for newly paved roads. The draft ordinance would establish a 3-year moratorium on pavement cuts (such as for underground utility installation), require full-width resurfacing for work taking place in newer roads after the three-year window, and expand restoration rules for recently treated surfaces. The ordinance change will return in a future meeting for further review and approval.
Stampede Bowl Trail
Staff proposed reallocating unused trail maintenance funds to construct the Stampede Bowl Trail, a half-mile connection between the Mosey and Rawhide Trails. The work would have been performed by the contractor currently building the nearby Bonneville Shoreline Trail, offering a cost-saving opportunity by reducing some mobilization expenses. After discussion, the Council chose not to proceed in order to preserve maintenance funds for future years and to continue pursuing grant funding for the project, which the City was unsuccessful in securing this year.
