Ironwood Station Phase One Townhomes
Developers presented the site plan for 186 new townhomes on a 32-acre parcel, including parking arrangements, emergency access under Hinkley Drive, and stormwater detention plans. Commissioners questioned the lack of dedicated visitor parking and verified that driveways and garages meet code requirements.

Property owners requested general plan and zoning changes from single-family to multi-family residential for 3.5 acres on 5500 South due to state access restrictions limiting single-family development options.
Cole West LLC Small-Lot Residential Development
The council approved a development agreement allowing Cole West LLC to build 24 single-family detached homes on smaller lots at 5154 South 2700 West instead of higher-density townhomes.

A developer requested a zone change and development agreement for 39 single-family homes on small lots, drawing heavy neighborhood opposition over traffic, drainage, and density.
1900 West Economic Study and Corridor Plan
Roy is teaming up with UTA to build a massive housing hub right by the FrontRunner station, adding 3,400 new residents to the area. It’s a major push to make the city more walkable and less dependent on cars.
Council Vacancy Appointment
The city needed to fill a vacant council seat. The process sparked a debate about whether the council should honor past election results or choose the candidate they feel is most qualified.
Fiber Optic Infrastructure Deployment
Lumen wants to use above-ground pedestals to save money on fiber installation. The city is worried about how these look and if it's fair to other companies who followed different rules.
Community Center Development
Roy City Council is meeting this Tuesday to figure out the future of our local community center. Depending on what they decide, we could see big changes to the programs offered and how we actually get to use the facility.
