Ordinance: Jordan River Fairpark District Zoning Map & Text Amendment Follow-up ~ 4:15 p.m.
  20 min.
The Council will receive a follow-up briefing about a proposal 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.
  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.
