8 issues in development
Autumn Ridge Dental Condominium Subdivision
A commercial property at 1326 W. Shields Lane is being split into two office condominium units. The change allows the dentist owner to sell one vacant suite while keeping his practice in the other, without altering the approved building size or overall parking requirements.
Master Auto Tech Vehicle Service Facility
Residents expressed strong concerns regarding noise, traffic congestion, and proximity to homes for a proposed Master Auto Tech repair shop on Redwood Road, prompting the commission to add operating conditions.
Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Regulations
South Jordan is updating its ADU rules to comply with new state legislation that prohibits conditional use permits and requires allowing detached ADUs on lots over 11,000 square feet. The council discussed shifting to setback-based rules, height caps, and window standards to balance property rights with neighborhood privacy.
Daybreak Development Growth
Get ready, South Jordan! The masterminds behind Daybreak are planning a HUGE new development, covering 2,200 acres. This massive project could totally reshape the city.
Data Center Development
Get ready for a massive data center to land in South Jordan, backed by Kevin O'Leary himself! This project is set to gobble up a lot of electricity, and the state's rolling out the red carpet with tax breaks to lure in tech giants.
Economic Development
South Jordan is getting a major economic boost! Merit Medical is investing $25 million into a new expansion, and it's expected to create around 500 new jobs. This is a big win for the local economy.
