before the Planning Commission in 2025 as a General Plan and Zoning Map Amendment, as well as

17

a Development Agreement proposal for 99 townhomes.

18

applications were for Phase 1 of the townhome development. The approximately 11-acre subject

19

property is southeast of Bringhurst Station.

20
21

The Subdivision Plat was reviewed, and Ms. Tubbs reported that Phase 1 would be served by a public

22

street that crosses the Utah Lake Distributing Canal and terminates at City-owned property. The

23

proposal met all existing parking requirements, and Phase 1 included all required guest parking stalls

24

for the 50 units included in the phase.

25
26

The applicant would continue installing amenities outlined in the Development Agreement.

27

Lake County has determined that it does not want planters, benches, or landscaping along the Jordan

28

River Trail, so the applicant will relocate those amenities elsewhere within the development. Fencing

29

will include passage points between the development and trail so residents can access the trail

30

corridor. Amenities will be concentrated on the northern portion of the property, including pergolas,

31

chess tables, and benches in the northwestern corner. A swing set, additional benches, and the

32

amenities previously planned for the trail area will be located in the existing grove of trees.

33

Architectural renderings were reviewed, and Ms. Tubbs reported that all materials meet City design

34

standards.

5.

CONSIDERATION AND VOTE on a Proposed Site Plan for The Grove at Bringhurst
Station including 50 townhome units, public and private streets, and amenities.

Brandon Watson spoke on behalf of Edge Homes and stated that they had worked hard with Staff and

2

outside agencies to prepare the application and were excited to move forward. In response to a

3

question raised by Chair Cragun, he reported that they originally considered adding a park in the

4

grove of trees, but the decision was made to leave the grove as-is, and those amenities had been moved

5

to the northwest portion of the property.

PUBLIC HEARING, CONSIDERATION, AND RECOMMENDATION on a Proposed
Text Amendment to Chapter 11.220.030 to add a definition for “Gas Station Electronic
Display Sign” and to Chapter 11.220.070.A to allow electronic display signs for gas
stations with a minimum display interval of three (3) seconds. (Application 2026-10).
Applicant, Yesco. Staff Presenter, Ellen Oakman.

Associate City Planner, Ellen Oakman, presented the Staff Report and reported that the Text

27

Amendment was requested by Yesco on behalf of Maverik, Inc. to allow electronic display signs

28

specifically for gas station monument signs. The proposed new definition and sign category generally

29

mirrored existing language for static electronic numeric display signs, with the primary difference

30

being the allowance of a three-second display interval rather than the 12-hour interval allowed for

31

static signs. The proposed definition was as follows:

Bluffdale City Code §11.220.030: Definitions
GAS STATION ELECTRONIC DISPLAY SIGNS:
An electronic message center sign that:

7

Is incorporated into a monument sign and does not occupy more than 50% of the entire sign
face;

8

Changes display no more frequently than once every three seconds;

9

Does not scroll, flash, blink, emit sound, or include animated copy or graphics.

10
11

The proposed gas station electronic display signs would be limited to gas station monument signs and

12

have a minimum three-second display interval. Electronic display signs use the NIT brightness

13

standards to measure how bright the display appears. By contrast, electronic message centers have a

14

minimum eight-second display interval and are measured using foot-candle brightness standards.

15
16

In response to a question raised by Commissioner Flynn, Ms. Oakman confirmed that static signs

17

require a 12-hour display interval. Electronic message centers are largely prohibited in the City, but

18

allow an eight-second interval.

19

standards, and they indicated that they had no concerns with the three-second interval for this sign

20

category.

21
22

Commissioner Swanson asked for examples of static electronic signs. Ms. Oakman reported that

23

banks or other businesses utilize that type of sign. In response to a follow-up question, Community

24

and Economic Development Director, Grant Crowell, stated that digital clocks are not static, but there

25

may be one legal nonconforming clock sign in the City. Bluffdale had worked over the years to

26

clarify its policy on electronic message centers and their full animation. Gas station signs were first

27

manual, then static electronic, and the proposal was in response to the next step in their evolution. It

28

was important to avoid content regulation.

29
30

Skyler Walser spoke on behalf of the applicant and indicated that three seconds is longer than it may

31

seem. Maverik had implemented a companywide change with lower pricing for Nitro rewards

32

program members, and they want to display the different pricing. He then presented a video of the

three-second display interval. In response to a question from Commissioner Flynn, Mr. Walser

2

confirmed that the three-second interval is standard for all Maverik locations. They had not received

3

any complaints or requests to change the interval at night, and the signs follow all regulations for

4

dimming, etc., after dark.

Chair Cragun opened the public hearing and reviewed the commenting rules. There were no

Commissioner Griffis moved to forward a POSITIVE recommendation to the City Council for

the Proposed Text Amendments, based on the Findings presented in the Staff Report dated

April 15, 2026. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Luker. Vote on motion: Ulises

Chair Cragun stated that many previous comments about the item showed a misunderstanding of the

4

actual proposal. The Agenda item was one component of a much broader discussion, and the only

5

matter under consideration was text changes to City Ordinances. No rezoning or General Plan

6

changes were proposed.

7
8

Ms. Tubbs reported that the City was considering consolidating its existing single-family residential

9

zones into one Chapter and potentially creating two new zones to allow for 0.50-acre and 0.33-acre

10

development. Discussions on the changes had taken place over the past year. The first Planning

11

Commission public hearing was held in April 2025, where the item was tabled. The matter was

12

revisited at a joint City Council-Planning Commission meeting in January 2026 and subsequent

13

Planning Commission and City Council meetings. Staff then incorporated changes discussed at those

14

meetings into the current draft.

15
16
17
18

(Application 2025-07). Applicant, City of Bluffdale. Staff Presenter, Caitlyn Tubbs.

Changes included:

The word “contiguous” was removed from the Zoning Table. The minimum area required for

19

rezoning must be satisfied by one parcel that is at least two acres in size. Multiple property

20

owners cannot work together to rezone smaller parcels.

21

22

The proposed R3 Zone will only be considered on parcels five acres in size or larger and
within 60 feet of the municipal boundary.

23

A Development Agreement is required for any development in the R3 Zone.

24

Parcels between two and five acres in size are limited to a density of 1.5 dwelling units per

25

acre.

26
27

Mr. Crowell reported that the City Council was only in favor of allowing the R3 Zone along the

28

periphery of the City. Staff chose 60 feet as that is the approximate width of a street.

29
30

Ms. Tubbs reviewed the proposed Zoning Table and footnotes as shown on page 4 of the Staff Report

31

and below.

Unless as otherwise approved by Section 11.160.260 Small Accessory Buildings of this title.

In response to a question raised by Chair Cragun, Ms. Tubbs confirmed that the changes would

significantly limit where 0.50- and 0.33-acre zones could be applied in the City.

Ms. Tubbs reviewed maps created in response to a request from the Planning Commission. Areas of

2

the City with lots smaller than one acre include The Falls at Bouldenridge and some parcels along

3

2200 West, 150th South, and 14400 South that were created through road expansion or are older lots

4

that predate the City’s one-acre zoning requirements. Other maps include parcels between two and

5

five acres, five to 10 acres, and over 10 acres.

6
7

At Commissioner Woodruff’s request, mockups of sample subdivisions were also created. Ms. Tubbs

8

reviewed renderings of the following:

9
10

11

A potential 0.33-acre development on a five-acre parcel with a standard 52-foot right-of-way,
small pocket park, and detention basin that would allow for eight single-family lots.

12

A three-acre parcel with a 52-foot right-of-way and two 0.75-acre single-family lots.

13

A two-acre parcel with a shared driveway and four single-family lots.

14
15

Ms. Tubbs reported that the Planning Commission had the option to forward a recommendation to

16

the City Council or table the item for further discussion.

17
18

Commissioner Flynn remarked that the Planning Commission had previously discussed whether the

19

General Plan or Zoning Table should be addressed first, and other cities have addressed both at the

20

same time. He asked if both items should be addressed in conjunction. Mr. Crowell stated that the

21

Commission could suggest specific areas of the General Plan Map where the new zoning should

22

apply.

23
24

Chair Cragun stated that at the last Planning Commission meeting, it was indicated that an applicant

25

would need to request both a General Plan Amendment and Zoning Map Amendment to be eligible

26

for the new zoning. She asked if that would still be necessary. Mr. Crowell stated that the matter

27

was not addressed in the Text Amendment that was before the Commission, but the expectation was

28

that both applications would be required to maintain consistency. The City Council could also make

29

a text change to the General Plan to indicate areas of the City where the zoning would be appropriate.

30

However, each property has unique attributes, and zoning that may work on one parcel will not work

31

on another. Chair Cragun restated the issue and clarified that the Agenda item was specific to the
8

Page 11 of 111

DRAFT – FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY
BLUFFDALE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
MEETING MINUTES
Wednesday, April 15, 2026
1

Text Amendment to change City Ordinance. Potential changes to the General Plan were not under

2

consideration, and any such changes would require additional public hearings.

3
4

In response to a question raised by Commissioner Swanson, Mr. Crowell reported that the General

5

Plan Map includes a Very Low Density Residential (“VLDR”) designation for a density of up to one

6

unit per acre, which is prevalent on the west side of the City. The Low Density Residential (“LDR”)

7

designation allows up to four units per acre, which includes the existing R-1-10 Zones. The text of

8

the General Plan provides the City’s recommended intent for each designation, and City Ordinance

9

indicates that zoning should conform with the General Plan. If the new Zoning Table were approved,

10

the issue would need to be addressed at some point. Unless the VLDR designation was redefined,

11

the new R2 and R3 Zones should only be applied in LDR areas.

12
13

Commissioner Flynn asked if the footnotes included in text would be better served in the General

14

Plan. Mr. Crowell reported that their purpose was to serve as criteria to determine if an application

15

was valid, and the concept of applicability was better suited to the General Plan.

16
17

Ms. Tubbs reviewed the text descriptions of General Plan categories. VLDR equates to less than one

18

dwelling unit per acre, or the current R-1-43/proposed R1 Zone. LDR allows one to four dwelling

19

units per acre, or the current R-1-10/proposed R4 Zone and infill overlays.

20
21

Commissioner Flynn remarked that the new residential zones will actually help the City. Smaller lot

22

developments currently required a Special District, and the new zoning would clearly define the

23

requirements. Mr. Crowell confirmed that Special Districts are very complex. The footnotes provide

24

the criteria for application, but do not guarantee that the application will be favorably received. An

25

applicant could currently apply for R-1-10 zoning anywhere in the City, but the likelihood of approval

26

may be very low. The City did not yet know whether there would be a discernible pattern to create a

27

General Plan amendment, and he appreciated the uncertainty that created.

28
29

Chair Cragun asked Staff to identify specific areas on the General Plan Map. Ms. Tubbs pointed to

30

VLDR areas of the City (shown in pale yellow) and LDR areas (shown in darker yellow). If an

31

applicant wishes to propose a zone that is not in alignment with the existing General Plan designation,

they must also apply for a General Plan Map Amendment.

2

Bringhurst Station. Portions of the property were originally zoned Agricultural and had a General

3

Plan designation of Very Low Density Residential, so the project required Zoning and General Plan

4

Map Amendments in addition to a Development Agreement.

5
6

In response to a question from Chair Cragun, Ms. Tubbs confirmed that the public hearing was left

7

open at the last meeting, and a second public hearing notice was posted for the current meeting as

8

well.

9
10

Chair Cragun opened the public hearing and reported that emailed comments were forwarded to the

11

Planning Commission for review and would be incorporated into the record.

12
13

Connie Robbins gave her address as 14455 South 2585 West and asked for clarification on what the

14

specific action the Planning Commission would be taking. Chair Cragun clarified that no property in

15

Bluffdale was being rezoned. The item was a Text Amendment to change the City Ordinance.

16

Ms. Robbins stated that she and her husband live on a private road west of Redwood Road. There

17

are five homes on the lane, two with one-acre lots and three with two-acre lots. If the additional zones

were approved, at least four additional homes could be added, which means as many as 12 vehicles

19

would regularly use the private lane. Council Member Wilding, who has been pushing the new

20

zoning, was working with two of those landowners. She does not believe the zoning aligns with the

21

City’s stated goal to maintain “the long-term neighborhood character,” and it would change the feel,

22

safety, and livability of the area. The City Council had stated that applications would be looked at on

23

a case-by-case basis, but she believed applicants would look at what had been approved and expect

24

the same treatment. She was concerned that if 0.50- and 0.33-acre zoning were added and found to

25

be not good enough, elected and appointed officials would approve 0.25-acre lot sizes. It was recently

26

acknowledged by the City Council that most residents do not support the zone change, yet the issue

27

kept coming up, and citizens had to continually fight against it. She believes the stated two-acre

28

minimum is inadequate and should be five acres.

30

Albert Allen Larsen gave his address as 14103 South Deer Orchard Cove and stated that he was

31

disappointed the item had resurfaced. He spoke with a majority of City residents during the election,

and they were overwhelmingly against the new zones. Citizens do not want to wake up one morning

2

and find a house planted in the last 0.50 acre of a one-acre lot. They feel like they are being pushed

3

out of the City. He believes the City should show how many residents are for and against the

4

Ordinance changes, not just make a decision for them. During the election, Council Member Wendy

5

Aston and Council Member Mackey Smith stated that they would not support the proposal, and he

6

wanted to everyone to remember what was said.

7
8

Brett Lovell gave his address as 13697 South 3825 West. He lives in Riverton but owns multiple

9

properties throughout the City. He recently met with representatives from the Jordan Valley Water

10

Conservancy District, who expressed concern about larger lots, as studies have found that they use

11

more water. The most efficient water use occurs in 0.50- and 0.33-acre settings as they do not have

12

as much irrigatable space. He encouraged the City to consider those studies.

13
14

Paxton Guymon stated that he owns two properties in the City, one of which is 14433 South 2200

15

South. He fully supported the proposal as it is important to have options for lot sizes. The improved

16

portion of his two-acre parcel is 1.2 acres. The road frontage is an unkempt 0.8 acres that they cannot

17

do anything with except landscape it. They would like to be able to subdivide into a separate 0.75-

18

acre lot. Two lots on two acres and would not increase the overall density but would provide

19

flexibility. Not every piece of land can be neatly subdivided into one-acre parcels. He liked the

20

proposal to provide zoning options with a density cap of no more than 1.5 lots per acre. That is not a

21

sweeping reform but rather a very small step toward allowing flexibility for smaller lots. He loves

22

Bluffdale, but many of the one-acre lots have a significant portion that is unkempt. The environment

23

is changing. People are moving to the City not because they want animal rights but because they

24

want to build nice homes on large lots, and an 0.50-acre lot is still very large. He asked that the

25

Planning Commission consider forwarding a positive recommendation to the City Council.

26
27

Connie Pavlakis gave her address as 14469 South Frost Court and stated that, having served on the

28

Planning Commission for almost nine years, she understands the importance of clear, well-defined

29

standards and meaningful public input on decisions like this. She did not believe the proposal was

30

ready for approval as the 0.50-acre and 0.33-acre lots are reduced by approximately 1,800 and 1,500

11

square feet, allowing roughly 2.18 and 3.35 lots per acre. Even with a cap of 1.5 units per acre, the

2

same land would be developed in a more compact pattern than residents expect. Subdivision design

3

also includes roads, sidewalks, and open space, which further tightens overall spacing. Reduced

4

setbacks bring homes closer together, increasing the perceived density. The 60-foot boundary rule

5

was not clearly defined, as the term “boundary” was undefined, and there was no standard for how

6

much of the parcel must fall within the area, so a small portion of a large plat could qualify the entire

7

property. Detached accessory dwelling units (“ADU”) are already permitted, which means more

8

households per lot than typically assumed in the zones. There are over 60 parcels larger than two

9

acres on the west side of Redwood Road in or adjacent to already developed areas. Under the

10

proposal, those parcels could be subdivided, and just three of the larger parcels could yield hundreds

11

of new homes, each of which could have a detached ADU. This would fundamentally change the

12

character of established neighborhoods and create long-term impacts on traffic, infrastructure, and

13

livability that are not easily reversed. There are no protections for existing one-acre neighborhoods.

14

While increased revenue was mentioned, there was no analysis of long-term costs for infrastructure

15

and services. It was also suggested that it may reduce water use, but more household per acre typically

16

increase indoor culinary demand. It was being justified by a possible future state mandate, but if that

17

occurs the City can respond with precision rather than making broad changes now based on

18

speculation. It was acknowledge in prior discussions that there were significant resident concerns.

19

Given the scale of the change, she believed that additional public engagement was critical. The item

20

was previously tabled by the Planning Commission for more public input, and she asked that it be

21

tabled again and Staff directed to hold open houses and provide direct postcard notices to properties

22

in VLDR areas. Based on the lack of clear standards, incomplete impact analysis, and the need for

23

further public engagement, she did not believe the proposal was ready for approval as written. She

24

asked that the item be tabled or denied.

25
26

Tyler Howland gave his address as 14788 Castle Valley Drive and stated that he is an affordable

27

housing developer who primarily develops missing-middle housing for teachers, nurses, and others

28

who cannot afford homes. Utah is facing a housing crisis. According to the Kem C. Gardener

29

Institute, in 2026 alone, Utah is short 35,000 housing units. He did not suggest that Bluffdale fill the

30

entire gap. However, what was proposed would help. Utah’s average home price was currently the

ninth highest in the country. The Text Amendment addressed many issues, from housing affordability

2

to water conservation and private property rights. He agreed that a lot of communication and dialogue

3

were needed, but he commended the City for its efforts and hoped that the Planning Commission

4

would recommend approval so they could move toward more affordable housing for residents, their

5

children, and grandchildren.

6
7

Yolanda Briganti gave her address as 3174 West 14865 South and stated that she moved to Bluffdale

8

because she found a great property where she could have horses on a one-acre lot and where the

9

neighbors could do the same. She loves living in the City for those reasons. It is hard to find a place

10

like Bluffdale, and she would like it to stay the way it is.

11
12

Andy Mollerup gave his address as 2429 West 14550 South and stated that he would like to keep

13

things as they are. His wife is a teacher, and not all teachers need small lots. They moved to Bluffdale

14

from West Jordan, which resembled Bluffdale when he was growing up. He imagined they had a

15

similar meeting where there seemed to be adequate protections from small lots and high-density

16

housing, but it was now a hodgepodge of different lot sizes. If they had wanted that, they would have

17

stayed in West Jordan. He asked that the City make the new zones as restrictive as possible. He

18

understood that there were certain unique parcels where 0.8 acres cannot be developed, but he

19

believed they could be addressed on a case-by-case basis without changing zoning. He hoped that

20

Bluffdale would remain Bluffdale rather than becoming nondescript urban sprawl.

21
22

Michelle Ross gave her address as 2295 West Statehood Drive and stated that she has lived in the area

23

all her life. When developers see a one-acre lot, they want to build as many homes on it as they can.

24

Riverton was a horse town, but that changed, and she got pushed out because there was nowhere to

25

keep her horses. She found a home in Bluffdale because she likes the area, but now they were doing

26

the same thing. People say that we need places for our children, which is true, but that will not happen

27

because homes are getting larger. There are no 1,100-square-foot starter homes. People will build

28

large, high-end homes that cost $600,000 or more. She likes ADUs and will be building one in her

29

backyard for her daughter to live in because she cannot afford to purchase a large home in the area.

30

When she moved to Bluffdale, she was able to ride her horses down the street, but she no longer dares

1

to do so because people drive too crazy and fast. She does not believe more people will solve

2

problems. She asked where the water will come from. Apartments are being built everywhere, which

3

bring in more people, traffic, and congestion. She asked that the City keeps its one-acre zoning.

4
5

Garrett Schmidt gave his address as 13791 South 3870 West and stated that his family owns property

6

in Bluffdale and would love to see it developed. His father has been in real estate for 40 years. They

7

believe the new zoning would be a great addition to the City. He would love to be able to afford a

8

home near his father and believes the new zones would be great for the City.

9
10

Michael Mueller gave his address as 14590 South 2457 West and stated that he and his wife moved

11

to Bluffdale 25 years ago. His father sold 27 acres of land to someone who later asked for his family’s

12

help in selling it, but they were unable to find a developer willing to build on one-acre lots because

13

there was no money in it. He believes that type of change is generated by greed and most zoning

14

changes are very disruptive to residents. In this case, people bought a piece of property where they

15

did not have to see their neighbors if they did not want to. The City had the opportunity to retain its

16

one-acre and larger lots, which makes it a unique place. If they began subdividing them due to greed

17

or the perceived need to have a cheaper to live, they would ruin the community, and quality people

18

would start moving out. They moved to Bluffdale to have a home they had dreamed of, and he

19

believed the zoning change was wrong. It would disrupt lives and create division, traffic, and crime.

20
21

Ken Johnson gave his address as 14676 South 1630 West and stated that he did not see the requirement

22

that parcels be within 60 feet of City boundaries in the proposed text. The footnote pertaining to the

23

R3 Zone states that the zone is intended to be limited to perimeter edges of the City, which he believed

24

was weakly worded and not an actual requirement. If the Planning Commission was considering

25

recommending approval, he asked that they amend the Ordinance appropriately. However, he

26

requested that they table the item to correct the text and address issues raised by other citizens.

27
28

Billy Frashure gave his address as 14177 South Loumis Parkway and stated that he built a home in

29

West Jordan that he thought was his forever home, but he lived there for 18 years and was boxed in.

30

He is a people person who loves neighbors, but his wife prefers to keep her distance. Their home in

31

Bluffdale is on a large parcel with few neighbors. The owner of the farm next door died and it was

sold, and the new owner wants to build houses in his backyard. He understands that everyone needs

2

a home. However, it should not be like Daybreak or downtown Salt Lake City. The lots should at

3

least be large enough for everyone to enjoy their own space.

4
5

Laura Allen gave her address as 14659 South 2700 West and stated that she was born and raised in

6

Bluffdale. She has seen many changes, but residents’ determination to keep their lot size has never

7

changed. For many years, residents were penalized for retaining their lot size. There was a very big

8

discussion about allowing the houses at Bouldenridge, but their shared greenspace equates to one

9

home per acre. She lives on a busy street, and her youngest child is three years old. She cannot go

10

outside alone. Allowing ADUs and 0.33-acre lots will create five times more traffic on roads like

11

hers. She is trying to raise her family in Bluffdale. When she was looking to buy a home, her realtor

12

tried to talk her out of Bluffdale, but she was determined to buy in the City because it is like no other

13

community in Salt Lake County. She was against the Ordinance changes.

14
15

Brad Llewellyn gave his address as 3547 West 13800 South and stated that he lives on one acre and

16

has horses. His understanding was that allowing 0.50- and 0.33-acre lots would protect the City

17

against denser housing. Some residents live near larger lots, but the proposal would not change their

18

current zone. It would provide an opportunity for rezoning, but otherwise, people could still apply

19

for 10,000-square-foot or smaller lots or multifamily housing. He agrees that the community should

20

stay as-is with large lots but believes the new zones would protect it from higher density.

21
22

Clint Lantz gave his address as 1464 Salmon Caddis Drive and agreed with Ms. Pavlakis that the

23

actual lot sizes would be smaller than 0.50 and 0.33 acres.

24

However, he believed it was important to address the issue of specificity and clearly state the actual

25

lot sizes because otherwise developers will take advantage.

26
27

Scerinda Johnson gave her address as 14676 South 1630 West. Council Member Aston had said that

28

she wants to make the tool available in the table and it will then be up to the City Council to determine

29

where to use it, but she did not want the Council to be able to use the tool anywhere in the City. She

30

agreed that there were areas where the new zones might not have a negative impact but believes it

31

should be used carefully and the General Plan should be addressed first. The tool can then go in the

toolbox for those specific areas rather than leaving it open for the current City Council to decide. She

2

reviewed the City Council meetings where the item was discussed. A recurring theme was an

3

argument between two extremes, that many residents are in favor of or opposed to the proposal. City

4

Manager, Bruce Kartchner mentioned the possibility of conducting a survey, and she believed that

5

should be a priority. Residents who own one-acre lots or larger should be asked a simple question

6

about whether they are in favor of rezoning to be able to subdivide lots so the City could understand

7

what they really want rather than what they think it wants.

8
9

Ms. Johnson read a letter from her neighbor, Jolene Norton of 14995 South 1800 West, who said, “I

10

believe in zoning because I don’t want my neighbor to be able to build a store right next door where

11

we would have all kinds of traffic coming in and out. I worked with the police in gang prevention

12

maybe 30 years ago out here in Bluffdale. When you have businesses, they attract more people, and

13

maybe not good people. Maybe the kind of people who would be in gangs, and that puts the whole

14

neighborhood in danger.” She asked that the City consider more flexible zoning on larger lots in her

15

area. The letter was given to Staff to be included in the record.

16
17

Court Dymock gave his address as 14572 South Ten Sleep Circle and stated that he has lived in

18

Bluffdale for 30 years. He moved to a 1.5-acre lot in Herriman, then developers annexed and rezoned

19

the adjoining property with 8,000-square-foot lots. They moved back to Bluffdale because of its one-

20

acre minimums, and now they were doing the same thing. Low-income and high-density housing

21

exists in other cities, and they do not need to change Bluffdale so that everyone can live there. The

22

City is unique, and residents love it for a reason. He does not believe that everybody has a right to

23

live in Bluffdale. There are small lots in other parts of the valley, and people can live in Herriman or

24

West Valley. It is not right to change what a lot of people moved to Bluffdale for because they have

25

rights as well. He does not believe it is all about the developers. He asked who was behind the

26

ordinance. Mr. Crowell stated that Staff received the assignment from the City Council.

27
28

City Attorney, Fred Donaldson, reported that the public comment period was not a question-and-

29

answer session. He encouraged Mr. Dymock to direct his question to the City Council, but clarified

16

Page 19 of 111

DRAFT – FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY
BLUFFDALE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
MEETING MINUTES
Wednesday, April 15, 2026
1

that at least three Council Members had requested the Text Amendment, or it would not have moved

2

forward. He then invited Mr. Dymock to speak with him after the hearing.

3
4

Matthew Roller gave his address as 14109 South 2055 West and stated that when he moved to

5

Bluffdale 18 years ago, people led sheep and horses down the streets. There was one police officer,

6

and that was adequate because the City was not high-density. As density had increased, they had to

7

spend more on police because crime increased. His son was exposed to a drug dealer in The Bluffs.

8

He would like to keep the one-acre lots and retain the current density.

9
10

Nancy Bell gave her address as 443 East 13800 South in Draper. She lived in Bluffdale for over 42

11

years. Her mother owned a 1.5-acre property and tried to go through the process to subdivide it so

12

she could sell a portion and afford to stay in the City after her father unexpectedly passed away. The

13

Board of Adjustment approved her request, but the City Council then sued both the Board of

14

Adjustment and her mother. She was unable to use the property she had lived on for over 44 years

15

and lost her home to a short sale. Ms. Bell agrees that 0.33-acre lots should not be allowed on two

16

acres, but there should be flexibility. Her mother’s property could have been subdivided into two

17

0.75-acre parcels and had minimal impact. That was not allowed, yet the City had approved Edge

18

Homes building 150 units.

19
20

Steven Thatcher gave his address as 14952 South 2405 West and stated that he and his wife were in

21

the process of selling their eight-acre property and would like to eventually have 0.50-acre lots. He

22

understood the concerns, but he did not believe there would be an increase in crime or significant

23

changes to quality of life in going from one acre to 0.50 acres. Upper middle-class families will

24

purchase the homes and increase the tax base, which will allow the City to properly fund the police

25

and fire departments.

26
27
28
29

There were no further comments. The public hearing was closed.
Chair Cragun asked Staff to address citizen concerns regarding setting a precedent. Mr. Donaldson

30

reported that there are two types of precedent: legal precedent and political precedent. If a rezoning

31

application is approved, the approval is based on the contents of the application and unique

17

Page 20 of 111

DRAFT – FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY
BLUFFDALE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
MEETING MINUTES
Wednesday, April 15, 2026
1

characteristics of the property.

That approval would set no legal precedent for subsequent

2

applications. Someone may perceive it as having precedential value or setting a political precedent,

3

but that is incorrect because another parcel may have characteristics that make it unsuitable for

4

rezoning.

5
6

Chair Cragun asked to review the reasoning behind the simplified square footage requirements in the

7

proposed table. Ms. Tubbs reported that the proposed R2 Zone has a minimum lot size of 20,000

8

square feet, and R3 has a minimum of 13,000 square feet, which are slightly less than 0.50 acres

9

(21,780 square feet) and 0.33 acres (14,500 square feet). That decision was made based on standards

10

for other communities with similar zoning. The rounded numbers better accommodate the loss of

11

space due to right-of-way dedications and make it easier to develop challenging parcels. The current

12

0.25-acre R-1-10 Zone was also rounded down from 10,890 to 10,000 square feet. However, if that

13

was not appropriate for Bluffdale, the specific square footage could be used for all zones.

14
15

Regarding setbacks, as Staff was researching the table, they realized that over the past 10 years, all

16

applications to rezone to R-1-10 also included an Infill Overlay (“IO”) request with setback

17

modifications. The proposed setbacks were the average of all requested modifications. Chair Cragun

18

stated that the setbacks were new to the table and some zones, but were not new to the City.

19

Ms. Tubbs confirmed that they are substantially similar to what was approved through IO Zones.

20

Mr. Crowell added that the existing R-1-10 standards require a minimum lot width of 100 feet, which

21

is almost always narrowed with an IO Zone. The decision was made to establish requirements based

22

on what is actually being approved and built.

23
24

Mr. Crowell stated that a question had been raised about the word “intended”, which could be changed

25

to “shall” or a similar stronger word. The idea was that that the zoning could only be applied

26

properties within a certain distance of the municipal boundary. Mr. Donaldson stated that the

27

language would be changed to make the qualification mandatory.

28
29

Commissioner Swanson asked about the context of the discussion regarding only allowing the R3

30

Zone at City boundaries. Mr. Crowell reported that some larger parcels along the perimeter may lend

31

themselves to a different development type. Mr. Donaldson added that smaller lots would not have a
18

1

significant impact on existing neighborhoods if they were located on the periphery of the City.

2

Commissioner Swanson remarked that in the Work Session, time was spent discussing a specific

3

triangular lot on the west side along the canal, and asked if the requirement was derived from that

4

discussion. Mr. Crowell confirmed that the parcel would potentially qualify for the R3 Zone.

5
6

Commissioner Swanson asked why a single 0.25-acre lot would be allowed, as that sounded more

7

like spot zoning than the two new proposed zones. Mr. Crowell reported that the proposed 0.25-acre

8

R4 Zone was carried over from the existing R-1-10.

9
10

Commissioner Luker appreciated the changes that had been made, especially the minimum acreage

11

required to apply. Most of the emailed comments were from residents worried about their one-acre

12

lots, but the new zones cannot be applied to a one-acre lot.

13
14

Commissioner Luker asked if the footnotes could be moved into the table. Mr. Donaldson reported

15

that the current City Code had more text and no tables. The Zoning Table was entirely new and would

16

make the standards clearer and easier to understand. He cautioned against duplicating information

17

because that runs the risk of future changes only being made to one area. He agreed that the footnotes

18

were somewhat unwieldy but believed it was an appropriate approach that keeps all the information

19

in one place.

20
21

Chair Cragun stated that previous discussions on the item had been very broad, and she was glad they

22

had engaged in the process and provided multiple opportunities for public input.

23

information the Planning Commission and City Council have, the better their decisions will be.

24

However, most of the public comments and associated discussions were still at the broad level. The

25

item before the Commission was not a rezoning request. Nothing was being rezoned, and the General

26

Plan was not being amended. They were only considering a Text Amendment to create two new

27

zones and clarify the standards so applicants know exactly what is required. Staff listened and

28

responded to suggestions made in Work Sessions and public comments, and as a result, the areas

29

where R2 and R3 Zones can be applied were significantly limited.

30

19

The more

1

Comments had been received both against and in favor of the proposal. The west side of Bluffdale

2

has a unique character, and the people who chose to live there have valid reasons for not wanting it

3

to change. However, there is no reason why the rest of Bluffdale cannot have 0.33- and 0.50-acre

4

lots. If the Text Amendment was not approved, the City would be prohibiting the remainder of the

5

City from utilizing that zoning, and she saw no compelling reason to do so. Many residents had stated

6

that they supported the new zones anywhere except the west side, but the Text Amendment had to be

7

approved for that to be possible.

8
9

Chair Cragun stated that she was still concerned that a General Plan Amendment was not considered

10

first. That was not the order the City Council chose, but she recommended that they move forward

11

with the amendment so people know where the zones can be applied. She was not in favor of requiring

12

property owners to apply for both Zoning Map and General Plan Amendments. She asked for the

13

Commissioners’ opinions on tabling, denying, or approving the item. Commissioner Flynn was in

14

favor of recommending approval with the additional recommendation that the General Plan should

15

be updated.

16
17

In response to a question from Chair Cragun, Mr. Crowell reported that the last General Plan update

18

was completed in 2022. It is typically updated every seven to 10 years, but the housing plan element

19

must be updated in 2027. Chair Cragun stated that she believes the issue’s significance and level of

20

citizen concern warrants a General Plan update with open house meetings. Commissioner Griffis

21

agreed and stated that the City must be responsible and transparent, and the community needs to be

22

involved. She was in favor of conducting surveys and starting with the General Plan instead of trying

23

to push the new zoning through.

24
25

Commissioner Swanson remarked that the General Plan does not address the missing smaller lot

26

zoning or create medium-sized low-density lots. The Zoning Table would do so. He agreed that the

27

City Council should be encouraged to amend the General Plan text rather than consider applications

piecemeal. However, the tools would have been useful for developments the Planning Commission

29

had considered over the past several years. Because the middle zones were not available, those

30

developments have higher density than the surrounding communities. He was in favor of forwarding

a positive recommendation so that the tools are available, and also recommending that the City

2

Council revisit the General Plan once the tools are in place to address the citywide gap in the Zoning

3

Code. Areas east of Redwood Road currently only have the option for 0.25-acre or higher density,

4

and only having those options available would drive higher density.

5
6

Commissioner Luker stated that the City’s General Plan already specifies that Very Low Density is

7

one acre, which was the R-1-43/proposed R1 Zone, and did not need to be addressed prior to adopting

8

the Zoning Table. The General Plan may need to be updated, but the first step was to provide the

9

tools for medium density.

10

Amendment should be approved first because medium-density zoning cannot be added to the General

11

Plan if it does not exist.

12
13

Mr. Donaldson clarified that the City Council had the option to address the General Plan first and

14

chose not to do so. The zoning categories would not be automatically applied to any property. When

15

someone applies to rezone their property, the City Council will consider the Zoning Map and General

16

Plan Amendments together and determine whether it is appropriate to amend the General Plan to

17

allow rezoning. It will require two changes, but it will also make the process very deliberate.

18
19

Commissioner Swanson remarked that during the above process, the City will consider the effect on

20

traffic, water resources, surrounding neighborhoods, etc. Chair Cragun stated that it was a valid point.

21

All requests would require a public Planning Commission hearing prior to the City Council process;

22

the City Council could not arbitrarily begin rezoning parcels. The Text Amendment would add the

23

guidelines to City Ordinance, but the application process must still be followed. When requests are

24

considered, they will have specific information about the location and topography of the parcel, as

25

well as other details to determine whether the specific, unique application warrants approval.

26

However, she did not like requiring simultaneous General Plan and Zoning Map Amendments, as the

27

General Plan should provide homebuyers with an idea of what could potentially be built around them

28

in the future.

29
30

Commissioner Swanson stated that per Footnote 9, a five-acre parcel could only be subdivided into

31

approximately seven units, and asked if Staff had created a rendering of that scenario. The two-acre

Chair Cragun understood their position and agreed that the Text

scenario that had been reviewed would not be possible with this rule, as it depicted four homes, but

2

only two would be allowed. Mr. Crowell clarified that the scenarios were configuration ideas only.

3

Parcels between two and five acres in size would be limited to a maximum average density of 1.5

4

units per acre. In response to a follow-up question, Mr. Crowell reported that the Cluster Residential

5

Overlay was still part of City Code but had been modified in such a way that no one would choose to

6

use it. Commissioner Swanson asked if the standards should be changed from lot sizes to the number

7

of domiciles per acre. Mr. Crowell indicated that such policy questions are often debated. Staff was

8

seeing a trend for Development Agreements on smaller parcels to clarify minor details.

10

Chair Cragun asked if Planning Commission was comfortable with moving forward or if they would

11

like to discuss additional changes prior to voting on the item.

Commissioner Swanson stated that his concerns about the minimum lot size for the R2 Zone had been

14

mitigated by Footnote 9.

15
16

Commissioner Flynn stated that the word “intended” in Footnote 10 should be changed to mandatory

17

language. Mr. Donaldson confirmed that the change would be made.

18
19

Commissioner Flynn moved to forward a POSITIVE recommendation to the City Council for

20

the Proposed Text Amendment (Application 2025-07), amending 11.80.010 and other sections

21

of the Bluffdale City Code, based on the Findings presented in the Staff Report dated April 15,

22

2026, and including the following additional Findings:

23
24

1.

This Text Amendment does not rezone a property. Any future application of R2

25

or R3 to specific parcels requires a separate Zoning Map Amendment with

26

independent public notice and hearing.

27
28

2.

The minimum area requirements of two acres for R2 and five acres for R3, with

29

R3 zoning limited to parcels within 60 feet of the municipal boundary, prevent

30

subdivision of standard one-acre lots under either zone.

27


There is a lot of interest in the flex space on 13900 South, and a rezoning request for an
adjacent property was expected soon.

32
33

He spoke with the Woodbury developer earlier in the week, and they will likely be ready to
begin construction on the next building soon.

30
31

There was not yet a date for the Brooker’s Founding Flavors Ice Cream grand opening, but
that information would be shared with the Planning Commission once available.

28
29

Vote on motion: Ulises Flynn-Yes,

The applicant was still working on the rezoning request for the Sage area that had been
continued. It will include a Development Agreement, so the item will be re-noticed.

Staff was compiling research for the container project as requested.

Ms. Tubbs reported on the following:

Planning Commission meetings were scheduled for May 6 and May 20.

She attended the American Planning Association’s spring conference the previous week,

6

where she learned that only a few updates to City Code would be required in response to

7

legislative changes.

8

The Utah League of Cities and Towns ("ULCT") was working on new training modules on

9

impermissible bias that would be made available to the Planning Commission once completed.

10
11

Mr. Crowell stated that one change made during the Legislative Session was in regard to items held

12

by the Planning Commission for a long period of time. In those cases, the City Council can consider

13

the Commission’s recommendation nonexistent and make a decision without it. The timeframe was

14

not defined. There are valid reasons to continue an item; for example, if the Planning Commission

15

needs more information. However, he once experienced an issue in Morgan County where a Planning

16

Commissioner tried to hold a General Plan update to be considered by the incoming County Council

17

rather than the sitting members, and some parliamentary moves were necessary to address the matter.

18

He did not believe that would be an issue in Bluffdale.

19
20

Mr. Donaldson stated that the State Legislature considered setting a 30-day limit but did not. In his

21

opinion, one to two continuances would be appropriate, but more could be questionable. In response

22

to a question from Chair Cragun, he reported that he had provided a legislative update to the City

23

Council and could also update the Planning Commission.

24
25

Mr. Crowell reported that detached ADUs must now be permitted under most circumstances in most

26

cities. Bluffdale anticipated that legislation and had already addressed it, but some minor text changes

27

may be required. Commissioner Swanson asked if the City had any desire to further revisit ADU

28

Code. Mr. Crowell stated that the RDA contributed money to the Salt Lake County Housing Trust

29

Fund’s upcoming ADU loan program. The program offers loan forgiveness in exchange for agreeing

30

to certain moderate-income housing parameters. He had received feedback that the utility meter rule

24

prohibitive as the City allows separate utility meters in garages but not in ADUs. Staff had not

discussed the matter with the City Council but may do so in association with required text changes.

3
4

Commissioner Swanson stated that he had received feedback that the 50% size limitation on ADUs

5

was too restrictive. Mr. Crowell indicated that due to the size of homes in Bluffdale, some ADUs are

6

larger than single-family homes in other areas. He believes some unpermitted ADUs may be being

7

built. In response to his question, Ms. Tubbs reported that the City issues building permits for

8

between six and eight ADUs each year.

PUBLIC COMMENT EMAIL ADDENDUM
04-08-2026
Zoning
Planning Commission members,
I noticed on the upcoming text amendment that there is not a minimum size area of ground that
can utilize the new zoning ie: 5 acre minimum?
At the planning meeting when the containers were discussed, practically all of those that spoke
were against this new zoning. Everyone I talk to, and explain what the city is trying to do, are
not for this new zoning. They all said they moved out to Bluffdale for the space.
One more comment. I tried to send this email to each individual commission member and was
told that the commission members don't ever look at their Bluffdale.gov email (of which 3
members do not have .gov emails) and to send my comments to this email address. It will be
"looked at" by 2 other people, not commissioners, and if approved, then sent on to the
commissioners. Interesting way to keep the public input from those making the decisions. If this
is incorrect, please let me know.
Thank you,
Connie Robbins

Residential Text Amendment
Dear Planning Commission Members,
I am writing to strongly oppose the proposed residential text amendments that would allow
increased density through the creation of R2 and R3 zones.
Many of us purchased our homes with a clear understanding of how the surrounding land was
zoned and what that meant for the future character of our community. Zoning is not just a
technical classification — it directly influences financial decisions, long-term planning, and
expectations about neighborhood stability. When residents invest in property based on
established zoning, there is a reasonable expectation that those standards will not be continually
reduced over time.
Our neighborhood already experienced a prior rezoning that reduced lot sizes below what was
originally anticipated. That change was deeply unpopular, and many residents felt blindsided.
Most homes in this area sit on approximately .3 to .5 acres, and the surrounding larger-lot zoning
was a key component in preserving balance, space, and compatibility. Further reducing adjacent
properties to allow one-third-acre lots would continue a pattern of incremental density increases
that undermine the original vision for this area.
Each new development seems to come with assurances that the impact will be minimal or that it
is necessary to meet broader goals. However, over time, these cumulative changes significantly
alter the character of established neighborhoods. At some point, the City must stand by its longterm planning commitments and protect the expectations of current residents.
This area was never intended to evolve into high-density residential by gradual amendment.
Increasing density yet again will affect traffic, infrastructure strain, stormwater management, and
overall neighborhood cohesion. More importantly, it erodes trust in the planning process.
I respectfully urge the Commission to reject this amendment and preserve compatibility with
existing lot sizes and neighborhood character. Stability and predictability in zoning decisions are
critical to maintaining community confidence and protecting property investments.
Sincerely,
Creed Anderson
Bluffdale Resident

Public Comment- April 15 Planning Commission Meeting
Dear Planning Commission,
I am writing in support of the proposed residential zoning amendments to be considered on April
15th.
As a Bluffdale property owner, builder, and developmer, I believe these changes offer a balance
approach to growth on the west side. The addition of R2 and R3 zones allows for thoughtful
increases in housing supply while promoting efficient land use, water conservation, and longterm cost sustainability.
These updates respect private property rights and help Bluffdale proactivly address housing
demand while maintaining the community’s character.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Douglas Jessop

Proposed zoning code change
Dear Committee members,
I do support the zoning change that is proposed, but only as a starting point. I have been a
resident home owner in Bluffdale for 46 years. We got the building permit for our first home
from the county before Bluffdale incorporated. We moved in just after it was incorporated.
Bluffdale was just a little sleepy town back then. I enjoyed the 1 acre lot we had then, and I
enjoyed the 1 acre lot that we have now had for the last 26 years.
However things have changed a great deal over the intervening years. Our children. and
grandchildren can no longer afford to live here. And yes they are professionals with very good
paying jobs.
A major concern that I have is that I am getting older, and soon will not be able to stay in
Bluffdale because I can no longer keep up a 1 acre yard. We do not have animals, so the entire
yard must be cultivated and/or maintained as a lawn. If we cannot eventually subdivide our lot
into at least two 1/2 acre lots, we will be forced to move out of Bluffdale all because we cannot
have family nearby. I love Bluffdale. I love our neighbors. I love the history of our city, but if
changes are not made, we will be forced to live elsewhere. That will indeed be a sad day.
Thank you for taking the time to hear my concerns.
Vernon Dunn

Ordinance to recategorize residential zones
To the Members of the Planning Commission,
As a property owner in Bluffdale, I am writing to formally express my support for the proposal
to consolidate Chapters 11.80.010 (R-1-43) and 11.80.020 (R-1-10) into a unified "Single-Family
Residential Zones" chapter. Furthermore, I strongly support the creation of the R2 (halfacre) and R3 (third-acre) zones.
Bluffdale has seen significant positive growth over the years, and I believe these updates are the
next logical step in ensuring our city remains a premier place to live. I support these changes for
the following reasons:
• Fiscal Responsibility: By allowing for slightly higher-density options like R2 and R3,
the city can develop more responsibly. This optimizes our existing infrastructure and
broadens the tax base, which is essential for keeping individual property tax rates low.
• Water Conservation: Smaller residential footprints are a proven tool for conservation.
Transitioning to these zones will significantly reduce the demand for both irrigation and
culinary water compared to larger, traditional lots.
• Thoughtful Transition: These new zones represent a "middle ground" in housing. They
provide a careful, tiered transition between high-density areas and rural lots, maintaining
the character of our community while addressing the modern housing crisis.
• Property Rights: This change respects the rights of property owners to have more
flexibility in how they utilize and develop their land.
• State Zoning Mandates: These zoning changes allow Bluffdale City to control
development on the west side rather than the possibility of state mandates with much
higher density.
Providing more housing options for everyone—from young families to seniors looking to
downsize—is vital for the longevity of Bluffdale. I urge the Commission to recommend approval
of these updates to help our city move forward sustainably.
Thank you for your time and for your service to our community.
Sincerely,
Maura Thatcher

Support for proposed zoning changes
Dear Planning Commission members:
Thank you for the service you give to our community. My husband and I understand that you
will be meeting soon to discuss changes to the zoning code for Bluffdale—specifically, allowing
residential lot sizes of 20,000 square feet and 13,000 square feet in certain areas that now require
acre lots. My husband, Vernon Dunn, wrote a letter in support of these changes, and I would like
to do the same.
As you know, affordable housing is the number one concern the residents of our state have. In
addition, Governor Cox and the legislature consider this a most pressing problem and have
aggressively passed laws to help. I have read that as a last resort, they might preempt local
zoning policies to encourage more affordable homes. I’m sure no one wants this to happen in
Bluffdale, as we all enjoy the semi-rural feel that our city still has. The solution, of course, is for
the city to pass reasonable zoning laws themselves that allow smaller lot sizes. Those who want
to keep large lots for animals or small farms could certainly do so.
It’s my understanding that proposed changes to city zoning would only apply to new
developments; but I would like to suggest that where feasible, current acre lot home owners be
allowed to split their property for another home to be constructed if they desire. Or perhaps two
neighbors with adjoining property could open up lots for affordable home construction if they
desired. There are many individual lots where this wouldn’t be feasible, but where there is a lot
of frontage, it wouldn’t change the look of the neighborhood at all.
I also believe it would help with water conservation as residents could more easily have waterwise landscaping on smaller lots. And an affordable home or two might even be more attractive
in purely residential areas than many of the very large warehouse-type buildings that are
currently being built to use up the acre lot. If the city’s desire is to maintain a semi-rural feel,
these buildings certainly don’t add to that goal.
Times have certainly changed since my great-grandfather and his brother settled in Bluffdale as
early pioneers, and also since our family originally moved here in 1978. People of all economic
levels lived together and everyone was welcome. With one-acre requirements, only high-income
families can afford to live in these areas now.
In closing, I was interested in an article in the Deseret News in January 2026, and in the
comments of Phil Dean, Gardner Institute chief economist. He indicated that we are in a danger
zone with the lowest home ownership rate in decades. Median home prices here are some of the

Page 34 of 111

most expensive in the country, but average wages are far below that mark. He said, “It is both an
economic imperative and a moral imperative to find a way to build housing that allows the
children and grandchildren of Utah residents to start their own households in the state.” I believe
this should be a goal for us here in Bluffdale.
Sincerely,
Marsha Dunn

Bluffdale Lot Size Proposal
Council members,
I am writing to express my strong opposition to the inclusion of 1/2-acre and 1/3-acre lots in the
city’s development plans. Introducing these smaller lot sizes into established 1-acre
neighborhoods creates significant concerns regarding density, increased traffic, the lack of clear
protections for current residents and increased costs of services. With Bluffdale bonding the
railroad trestle for $30-million dollars after residents were told the majority was to be covered by
state funds, the city council’s transparency remains, opaque . Because the proposed language
remains vague, I urge you to prioritize a transparent dialogue with the community. Please defer
any decision until the residents of Bluffdale have been fully heard and the long-term character of
our neighborhoods is secured.

Lot Sizes
I am opposed to allowing 1/2 and 1/3 acre lots throughout Bluffdale. There is too many
unaddressed concerns with can cause problems ie traffic population that already developed
neighborhoods were not designed for not to mention that being a resident of Bluffdale for 28
years, I bought in this area wanting to keep the larger lot without having my neighbors a stone
throw away. We have areas in Bluffdale where the zoning allows for smaller lots with the
traffic,water and other items taken into to consideration. Please don’t change old Bluffdale
without the consideration how it will affect so many and so much only so that someone can make
a quick buck. If they desire to have a more condensed neighborhood then they should move to
one of the other areas and allow us who want more open space to remain open.

Support for zoning changes
My name is Kelly Albiston. I spent the first 11 years in Bluffdale in a .3 acre lot in springview
farms (which we loved), before building a new home on a 1 acre lot on the far west side. I
support the thoughtful approach taken to these amendments. It provides guidance for proper
use.
My reasons for supporting this:
1. The state is suffering a housing crisis with no end in sight. None of our children will be
able to afford to stay in the state, unless we start doing our part.
2. Herriman and other neighboring cities will build ultra-high density right up to our city
limits. I live 2 open fields away from the Herriman boarder. I envision one field full of
1/2 acre lots, the next one full of 1/3, proving a thoughtful blend together to high
density. I support this.
3. The cost of 1 acre lots will only cater to ultra-wealthy going forward, very often from
outside the state. Our zoning is driving the future make up of our citizens.
4. We need to spread the tax burden across more homeowners. The cost of keeping our city
beautiful and functional will only go up in the future.
5. For many people, most of their wealth is tied up in their land. I don’t believe our city
government should hold such a heavy hand in their rights.
My only plea is that we don't allow infrastructure and roadway improvements to trail too far
behind our growth. I think people often hide the fear of traffic behind their outward position to
“keep Bluffdale rural”. There is nothing rural about what is being built on these 1 acre lots now,
but planning for traffic has to be part of our plans.
A Bluffdale that continues to put its head in the sand with a “not in my neighborhood” mentality,
while the state crisis goes unaddressed, is not a Bluffdale I am proud to be part of.
Thank you for your consideration.

Zoning Code Amendments R2 & R3 Comments
Planning Commission,
I have read the information regarding the zoning amendments to add R2 and R3 Zones. I support
the addition of these new smaller lot sizes for areas West of Redwood Road in Bluffdale that fit
these criteria. In addition to the benefit of lower cost to purchase a smaller lot, there is a need
for lot sizes not intended for large animals or large detached garages but have a manageable lot
size that is easier and less expensive to maintain and irrigate. The current proposal still provides
a lower housing density than most areas in the southern part of the valley. It is not intended to
divide up the current 1 acre lots but allow property owners who have larger undeveloped land the
rights to provide these options.

Bluffdale Lot Size Proposal
I am asking you to oppose adding 1/2 acre and 1/3 acre lots to the city’s development toolbox. I
feel this has been deceitful and dishonest in not letting the people in the areas of 1 acre lots
aware of the plan. Is this for the cities political or a financial plan? I think the planning
commission should prioritize Bluffdale real needs of other areas needed such as their roads for
moving traffic, repairs and not so much parking on the streets. The building of high density
apartments causes much clutter and difficulty getting around the city. The builders never include
an appropriate plan for parking.
Is this another deceitful plan like the bridge that was planned and not discussed with the people
living in the areas. I could not even get out onto the road because of diverted traffic on 13800
South.
Please ensure residents are notified appropriately and heard before moving forward with any
decision that impacts established neighborhoods and the long term effects/character of
Bluffdale. Most of my neighbors live on one acre lots for a reason!
Thank you!

I am asking you to OPPOSE adding 1/2 acre and 1/3 acre lots to the city’s development

I am asking you to oppose adding 1/2 acre and 1/3 acre lots to the city’s development toolbox.
These changes allow smaller lots within existing 1-acre neighborhoods without clear protections,
increase overall density and traffic, and include unclear language. We moved here because of the
larger lots, because we love the more rural feel. Even in the logo of the city, it includes a horse,
which suggests rural and space. Otherwise, people may feel this is a bait and switch - We are a
rural community…but we are going to cram a bunch of homes right next to you, and you can’t
do anything about it.
I am disappointed that this is where you are all heading. It is not what the majority wants. Again,
we moved here to have land, space, and a more rural feel. I don’t want to live in a Herriman,
Riverton, etc. Let’s keep Bluffdale unique, the way it was intended from its inception.
Thank you for listening to the voice of the people.

Bluffdale Lot Size Proposal
Hi! I haven't lived in Bluffdale for very long compared to most in our city, but I moved here
because of the character that Bluffdale carries, and the overall quietness and lack of
overpopulated neighborhoods. My wife and I decided to buy in Bluffdale and live here full-time
because of how unique it is as a city. We still regularly talk about how amazing it is to be able to
drive around in the city at any time of day without worrying about whether or not our commute
is going to double, if we will get stuck in traffic, etc.. We love the clear roads, and quiet but
lively parks while still being in close proximity to many things/places/businesses we love. We
find ourselves regularly commenting on how amazing it is that there is a quieter city with bigger
lots right in the middle of all of these other cramped, overcrowded, and traffic-jammed cities. We
are minutes from many stores and great things we rely on - yet we feel like we still live in a
small town.
We are worried that adding 1/2 and 1/3 acre lots to the city's toolbox will affect what we (and
those around us) see as the best parts of Bluffdale. We also know that everyone who hears about
this change around us feels and worries the same as we do.
We simply love the way that Bluffdale is. We don't see the lot sizing regulations/laws/ideas that
this city was built upon as a mistake. And therefore we are sincerely asking you to not allow
these lot size changes to pass. Especially without hearing the opinions of the people who belong
to this city and community.
I appreciate your time!

I strongly oppose lot division adjustments especially for existing homes
I am asking you to oppose adding 1/2 acre and 1/3 acre lots to the city's development toolbox.
I am writing as a resident of Bluffdale to share my concerns regarding the proposed zoning
changes that would allow 1/3- and 1/2-acre lots, particularly as they apply to the subdivision of
existing 1-acre properties.
My largest concerns about the proposed zoning changes relate to allowing subdivision of
existing 1-acre properties.
I understand the need for growth and can support smaller lot sizes in thoughtfully planned new
developments. However, applying these changes to established 1-acre neighborhoods raises
concerns about piecemeal subdivision leading to inconsistent layouts and a loss of the cohesive
character these areas were designed to have.
My concern is less about density itself and more about maintaining well-planned, integrated
communities. I would encourage the City to limit smaller lot zoning to new or master-planned
developments and to establish clear standards if subdivision of existing lots is considered.
I also have huge concerns that this is being led by someone who may have a conflict of interest
and request that Wilding recuse himself of this vote unless he plans to not financially benefit
from any of the growth in Bluffdale.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Bluffdale Lot Size Proposal
Hello,
I rarely reach out but the lot size proposal has been brought to my attention and it is a subject that
I feel strongly about.
I am asking you to oppose adding 1/2 acre and 1/3 acre lots to the city’s development
toolbox.
These changes allow smaller lots within existing 1-acre neighborhoods without clear protections,
increase overall density and traffic, and include unclear language.
Please ensure residents are fully heard before moving forward with any decision that impacts
established neighborhoods and the long-term character of Bluffdale.
I appreciate all you do.
Thank you,

It’s important to preserve the lot size as an essential part of our community. Representative of
Bluffdale and its citizens have worked tirelessly to preserve and even suffered negative
consequences to maintain a 1 acre lot size on the west side of Bluffdale. We want this lot size to
stay intact. Listen to your citizens. You represent us not the developers or any other 3rd party.

Bluffdale Lot Size Proposal
Dear City Council,
I am asking you to oppose adding 1/2 acre and 1/3 acre lots to the city’s development toolbox in
neighborhoods currently zoned for one acre minimum.
The increase in overall density and traffic, which is already a challenge, is a large concern as
well as the impact on established neighborhoods and the rural beauty of this unique city.
Please ensure residents currently living on 1+ acre lots receive full communication on proposed
development changes.
Thank you,

Residential Zones Ordinance Amendments- Agenda Item#8
Dear Planning Commission,
I am writing in support of expanding residential zoning options for all property owners within
the City.
For full disclosure, I am currently the Parks Manager for the City and previously worked as a
Senior Planner for 14 years. Throughout my career, my focus has been on improving the quality
of life for all residents. I strongly support sound planning principles for residential development
and appropriate zoning regulations. I am proud of the many beautiful developments in Bluffdale,
across a variety of lot sizes. Above all, Bluffdale has been my home for 29 years, and I care
deeply about its future.
I support the creation of new residential zones that provide property owners with greater
flexibility in design and use, allowing them to maximize the value of their investment. Allowing
smaller lot sizes is a valuable planning strategy that can help residents remain in the community
as they age by reducing the burden of property maintenance. Many residents have made
substantial long-term investments in their properties and should have the opportunity to rely on
those assets to meet their future needs.
Property tax revenue is critical to sustaining City services now and in the future. Expanding
opportunities for development through smaller lot sizes can help strengthen this revenue base.
Additionally, smaller lots can reduce the consumption of valuable resources, including culinary
and secondary water.
While the current General Plan and Zoning Map designations does not allow property owners
within the R-1-43 zone to subdivide one-acre lots, I believe the City should establish a zoning
tool that provides all property owners with equal opportunity to subdivide, provided they can
demonstrate compliance with established development standards. As a resident of the R-1-43
zoning district, I would like the same opportunity to subdivide my property and maximize its
long-term value.
I respectfully encourage the Planning Commission to consider creating a zoning tool that
benefits all property owners, either now or in the near future, and to avoid restrictions such as
five-acre parcel requirements, density limits between two and five acres, or municipal boundary
limitations that primarily benefit only a small number of property owners. Ensuring fairness and
broad applicability in our zoning framework will help foster public trust and support balanced
growth across the community.

Thank you for your time, thoughtful consideration, and continued work on these important
zoning decisions.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Robison
Resident

Bluffdale Lot Size Proposal
I am asking you to oppose adding 1/2- acre, 1/3 - acre and smaller lots to the city's development
toolbox. These changes allow smaller lots within existing 1-acre neighborhoods without clear
protections from inappropriate ADUs and FLAG houses, increase overall density and traffic,
restrict access for emergency vehicles require substantial utility changes (increases), restrict the
presence of domestic animals and include unclear language.
Please ensure residents are fully heard before moving forward with any decision that impacts
established neighborhoods and the long-term character of Bluffdale. We lived in an area that was
like what the city is now trying to create. We moved to Bluffdale to get away from these issues
and problems. Many residents do not support city council and planning committee actions.
Thanks,

Maintain 1 ACRE lots
To Planning Commissioners and Council Members, I am opposed to adding 1/3, ½ acre zones
(R2 and R3) to the planning toolbox.
I moved to Bluffdale 17 years ago because of the 1 acre lots, this is a rare Gem so let’s not ruin
what we have.
There are so many loopholes with the way this is written, it should not go forward.
The two main desires of the majority of the people that live in Bluffdale, No more higher Density
and No more added Traffic.
The last thing I need is 6 houses on one side of my house and 6 more houses on the other
side. (3 houses + 3 ADU)
Couple of other points, it’s not the city’s job to make developers money. (it’s to listen to the
people that own and live in Bluffdale)
Anyone voting on this matter that can or possible gain money
because of this change, should not be voting on it. (please recuse yourself from the vote)
Please deny the addition of these two new zones.
Thank you for your time and service to the City of Bluffdale.

Bluffdale Lot Size Proposal
I am asking you to oppose adding 1/2 and 1/3 acre lots to the zoning options in Bluffdale. When
we built in 2012, we specifically chose Bluffdale because of the 1 acre and larger lot size zoning.
We wanted to avoid what we came from West Jordan that has a patchwork of lot sizes. Please
keep Bluffdale as it is. We are adamantly opposed to the patchwork lot size zoning we left in
West Jordan

Bluffdale Lot Size Proposal
Our Bluffdale Elected Officials, Planning Commission, and City Staff,
I am asking you to oppose adding 1/2 acre and 1/3 acre lots to the city’s development toolbox.
These changes allow smaller lots within existing 1-acre neighborhoods without clear protections,
increase overall density and traffic, and include unclear language.
Please ensure residents are fully heard before moving forward with any decision that impacts
established neighborhoods and the long-term character of Bluffdale.
I realize that this is a copy of a prepared mailing, but I assure you that it states a concern of
mine. And what follows are in my words.
Density, traffic, existing sewer, water, power capacity, and quality of life are a few of the things
that come to mind when making these decisions.
Anyone who loves Bluffdale as it currently exists could not possibly support this zoning
change. Most of you who are elected officials stated how much you loved Bluffdale during your
campaigns. And I'm pretty sure that those of you who are City Staff and members of the Planning
Commission would agree. You chose Bluffdale as your home because it was such a wonderful
place to raise your family. And "was" is exactly the correct verb to use if this zoning change is
approved. Bluffdale will no longer be the city to which you were able to escape. We will be
just like all the other cities in the valley. Why would we want to move to a wonderful place to
live, and then change it into what we just moved away from?
And lastly, I'm afraid that some of the same people who are pushing for this change the hardest
are those who would profit the most financially from the rezoning. I would hope that we would
not make changes that would affect our lives in such a negative way, solely to line our personal
pockets. There is just too much at stake.
I love Bluffdale and plead with you to save it as it is.
Sincerely,
Walt Hall

Re:

Proposed Text Amendment Regarding Seasonal Firework Sales
Application No.: 2026-16
Applicant(s):
Joee Witter
Request:
To review the proposed amendments to Bluffdale City Code Chapter 3.40 to
update the City’s regulations on seasonal fireworks sales and to Section
11.180.020 to allow outdoor fireworks sales as an allowed temporary use.

SUMMARY
The Applicant proposes amendments to Bluffdale City Code (BCC) Chapter 3.40 “Retail Fireworks
Outlets” to reflect current state-level licensing requirements and contemporary storage methods
and to allow the seasonal sale of fireworks as a permitted temporary use in commercial and
industrial zones.
ANALYSIS
The proposed amendments would update Bluffdale’s fireworks regulations by recognizing outdoor
fireworks sales as a permitted temporary use and by revising Chapter 3.40 to better align local
requirements with current Utah law and State fire and life-safety standards. The proposal would
also remove the separate salesperson license provisions, simplify the insurance requirement,
update terminology from “license assessor” to “Business License Official,” and revise storage
language to allow approved steel shipping containers for commercial storage.
Through this updated code, fireworks retailers would first need to proceed through the Temporary
Use Permit (TUP) process outlined in BCC Sections 11.180.030 and 11.180.040, including providing a
description of the proposed use and a description of the site layout. Following the TUP approval,
the retailer would be able to obtain a business license to sell their fireworks.

Re:

Bluffdale at 2950 Flex Development
Application No.: 2026-04
Applicant(s):
Pine West Investments, LLC
Request:
To consider the following requests, hold a public hearing, and forward a
recommendation to the City Council:
- Request to amend the General Plan Land Use Map for approximately
1.90 acres at 13942 South 2700 West from Very Low Density Residential
to Commercial;
- Request to amend the Zoning Map for approximately 1.90 acres at
13942 South 2700 West from R-1-43 Residential to General Commercial
(GC-1); and
- Request to approve a Development Agreement to facilitate the
construction of four flex buildings (totaling up to 50,000 square feet) on
approximately 3.914 acres of land.

SUMMARY
The Applicant owns approximately 3.914 acres of land on three parcels at 13918 South 2700 West,
13942 South 2700 West, and 13937 South 2950 West. The Applicant seeks to construct four (4) flex
buildings along with required parking and landscaping on the site. One parcel, 13942 South 2700
West, requires an amendment to the General Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Map to facilitate the
development. This proposal would replace the existing 2022 Development Agreement for
professional office buildings on the same site1.

Two of the Applicant’s three parcels are already master-planned for commercial development in the
City’s General Plan and are currently in the General Commercial (GC-1) Zone. One parcel, 13942
South 2700 West (outlined in yellow in the images below), remains a Very Low-Density Residential
island surrounded by commercial and institutional uses in the General Plan and is currently zoned
R-1-43 Residential. The Applicant has requested an amendment to the General Plan Land Use Map
from Very Low Density Residential to Commercial and an amendment to the Zoning Map from R-143 Residential to General Commercial (GC-1) to reflect the existing designations of their other
abutting properties and to facilitate the development of the flex project on this site.

The Applicant’s properties are situated nearby a commercial node and along 2700 West, a collector
street designed to handle higher traffic volumes. This is an area in which the City has anticipated
higher-intensity uses, such as future commercial development.
Development Agreement
Per Chapter 11.290 of the Bluffdale City Code (BCC) and Utah Code § 10-20-508, the City Council is
authorized to enter into a Development Agreement on behalf of the City of Bluffdale. Development
Agreements can include specific design standards and may also authorize land uses not typically
permitted within the underlying zone as long as the requisite public hearing is held.
The Applicant has proposed some deviations from the General Commercial (GC-1) Zone, namely,
the maximum allowed lot coverage and minimum landscaping percentage and has also proposed
allowing some land uses that are not currently permitted in the GC-1 Zone within this development.
BCC Section 11.90.020.100 limits all buildings, structures, and parking lots to no more than eighty
percent (80%) of the total area of the parcel or site. The Applicant requests the City consider
allowing a maximum building and parking lot coverage of eighty-five percent (85%), an overall
increase of five percent (5%). Respectively, the Applicant requests the City allow a minimum
landscaping percentage of fifteen percent (15%) where the GC-1 Zone typically requires twenty
percent (20%), an overall reduction of five percent (5%).
This request is consistent with the lot coverage and landscaping standards of the Light Industrial (I1) Zone, which is concentrated on the eastern side of the city near Interstate 15. This request is also
consistent with the Development Agreement approved by the City for the Bluffdale Exchange

provided a concept plan of the development demonstrating how the landscaping will be spread
throughout the entire site to break up the appearance of the impervious surfaces (see below).

Land Uses
The Applicant has proposed to voluntarily restrict laundry services from the project.
The Applicant has requested the City allow the following uses within the project through the
Development Agreement:
- Construction Sales and Service, provided no outdoor storage of equipment or
materials will be permitted within the project
- Data Center
- Loan Center
- Manufacturing, General
- Manufacturing, Limited
- Printing Services
- Storage Facilities for Machinery and Equipment, provided no outdoor storage of
machinery or equipment is permitted
- Wholesale and Warehousing, including any e-retailers
- Temporary Job Trailers and Offices, provided these are only allowed during the
construction period for the project and are removed after occupancy is completed for
the final building in the project.
