Gina Road Rezoning Request
The council approved rezoning five acres at 7232 West Gina Road from agricultural to A-1-10 to allow future single-family residential development.
Title 10 Zoning Code Amendments for Commercial and Mixed-Use Districts
The city is reviewing proposed updates to commercial, mixed-use, and manufacturing zoning rules to better handle commissaries, outdoor retail displays, and seasonal sales.
Church Establishment in M-1 Zone
Awaken City Church is seeking approval to establish a place of worship and related services in an existing building within the M-1 Manufacturing Zone. This required a Master Development Agreement and a public hearing was held.
Church in Manufacturing Zone (Awaken City Church)
A request to permit a church and related services within an existing building in the M-1 Manufacturing Zone requires a Master Development Agreement. This raises questions about the compatibility of a place of worship with industrial uses, potential impacts on traffic, parking, and noise, and the precedent it might set for future land use in manufacturing zones.
Zoning Map Amendment for 7411 W Hi Country Road
A property owner requested to rezone their 1.06-acre parcel from A-1-43 to A-1-10 Single Family Agricultural, with a condition limiting density to two dwelling units per acre. This change would allow for a flag lot subdivision, similar to other properties in the area, impacting local density and neighborhood character.
Fencing Regulations Update
Herriman City proposed amendments to its fencing code to clarify language, allow wood as a permitted fencing material, specify vinyl-coated chain link for recreational areas, and remove chain link with vinyl slats as a screening option in certain zones. These changes affect property owners' choices for fencing materials, aesthetics, and maintenance responsibilities city-wide.
Citywide Landscaping Code Amendments
Herriman is updating its landscaping rules to comply with state laws and water conservation needs, including new standards for artificial turf and reduced tree spacing.
Rear Yard Setback Variance Request at 12128 S. Tower Arch Lane
Homeowners want to build an attached covered deck closer to their property line than zoning rules allow. City staff argued that granting the exception without unique physical hardships could set a difficult precedent for neighborhood setbacks.
