CONSENT:

Ordinance: Jordan River Fairpark District Zoning Map & Text Amendment
The Council will set the date of Tuesday, November 19, 2024 at 7 p.m. to accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that would amend the City's zoning ordinance by creating a new zoning district known as the Jordan River Fairpark (JRF) District at approximately 1500 West North Temple and bounded by the Jordan River, Redwood Road, North Temple, and Interstate 15. The proposal would rezone approximately 93 acres across 32 parcels into a single zone to support the area's redevelopment. The project is located within Council District 2. Petitioner: Snell & Wilmer, representing Larry H. Miller Development. Petition No.:PLNPCM2024-00982. 

  1. Zoning Map & Text Amendment: The JRF district would allow buildings up to 400 feet tall. No minimum lot size,  setbacks, or open space requirements are proposed, and developments would be exempt from meeting the City's general plans.
  2. Development Agreement: The proposed Development Agreement addresses access to the Jordan River,  open space, roads, and infrastructure improvements and establishes review processes for development applications. Under new state law, an agreement must be reached by December 31, 2024, for expedited land use reviews related to a qualified stadium and related uses. If no agreement is made, the JRF District will not be subject to the City's zoning regulations.

Ordinance: Temporary Closure of a Portion of 1000 West Between South Temple and Approximately 15 South 1000 West
The Council will set the date of Tuesday, November 19, 2024 at 7 p.m. to accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that would temporarily close a segment of 1000 West between South Temple and 15 South 1000 West to mitigate unsafe conditions. State law allows the City to temporarily close certain streets until the unsafe conditions are mitigated or up to two years, whichever is less. The Federal Railroad Administration has suspended the Woods Cross Quiet Zone after conducting an inspection and determining that safety systems and measures implemented at this crossing are inadequate. Temporarily closing this portion of the road will allow the City to make improvements to the crossing so that the Woods Cross Quiet Zone may be restored.
