5 issues in zoning with medium priority
Political Sign Regulations Compliance with State Law
The city is updating its municipal code to comply with Utah House Bill 33, which changes how political signs can be placed near park strips and sets new rules for sign retrieval, storage, and appeal procedures.
Chinatown Overlay Localized Alternative District
City officials are considering a new zoning overlay that would give developers more flexibility with landscaping, parking, and signs to encourage investment in the Chinatown district.
River Trail Station Area Plan Exemption
The city formally excused itself from drafting a transit station area plan for an out-of-city TRAX station because surrounding local land is entirely industrial and owned by the railroad or UTA.
Planning Commission Vacancies
The city is filling a vacancy on the Planning Commission following a resignation. This ensures the commission remains fully staffed to review local development and zoning projects.
Wentworth Avenue Street Vacation
