4 issues in development with critical priority
Southwest Quadrant Development
City staff and the council are working to finalize a small area plan for the Southwest Quadrant, balancing a targeted 80/20 economic development to residential ratio with specific housing densities, mixed-use commercial nodes, and topographical constraints.
Townhome Development and Density
A proposal to amend The Highlands Master Development Plan to allow for townhomes on a 5.2-acre parcel sparked debate about increasing housing density in the area. Council members weighed the benefits of varied housing types against concerns about the overall density and its impact on the community's character.
Commercial and Industrial Development
The city is reviewing three applications for business operations and storage. These projects ensure that local businesses can grow while meeting city safety and aesthetic rules.
Water Conservation
West Jordan might be growing too quickly, with one local writer warning that the city is using up its water supply and can't handle more new housing. This could mean big problems down the road if we don't slow down.
