Iron Horse RDO Development Agreement Amendment
The city is reviewing a development agreement and a zone change from Residential Agricultural to Mixed Use near 2300 West Cross Hollow Road and 2415 West 1250 South. These changes will shape future building projects and property uses in the area.
Royal Hunte Drive Median Barrier and Traffic Circulation
Local business owners raised concerns that a median barrier planned as part of the UDOT South Interchange project will severely restrict customer access to their properties. The council directed the city engineer to work with UDOT to see if the median can be shortened slightly to ease truck turns.
Cross Hollow Event Center Arena Bids and Fee Waivers
The council is evaluating construction bids and a request to waive impact fees for a new covered outdoor arena at the Cross Hollow Event Center.
Cross Hollow Development
A developer requested a zone change from residential agriculture to mixed-use for property along Cross Hollow Road to align with the master plan and accommodate future commercial and residential uses.
Downtown Zoning Flexibility
The city is weighing whether to ban new gas stations and convenience stores with fuel pumps in the historic downtown area to protect local buildings from being torn down. While proponents argue this preserves the downtown vibe and historic feel, critics worry about limiting property rights and picking winners and losers among businesses.
Cross Hollow Road Mixed-Use Zone Change
Developers are adjusting zoning boundaries along West Cross Hollow Road to match their master plan, allowing for a mix of residential and commercial spaces near major retailers like Walmart and Home Depot.
