Canyon Creek Development Zone Change
A proposal to rezone a 35-acre site at 2100 North Canyon Creek Parkway from industrial to high-density residential (R-4), which could significantly impact local housing options and land use patterns.
Hollow Acres Commercial Concept
A developer wants to rezone the southern half of a property near Spanish Fork Parkway for residential use while keeping the northern half commercial, featuring small retail and drive-thrus.
Flood Plain Ordinance Updates
The city is updating its flood plain rules to match new federal FEMA maps released in June 2026. This ensures local development rules stay current with federal flood data.
U-Haul Self-Storage Zoning Compatibility
The proposed U-Haul facility faces challenges because the current zoning and self-storage overlay rules may not support this specific type of multi-use project. City staff suggested that the site's location near the new freeway interchange makes it better suited for high-traffic commercial uses rather than storage.
Let Them Grow Montessori School Expansion & Traffic
Neighbors voiced strong concerns about increased traffic, student capacity, and parking congestion associated with the Montessori school relocating to 75 West 300 North. Supporters and staff highlighted the educational benefits and the applicant's willingness to implement staggered drop-off times.
