Magna rezones 3665 S 8400 W to commercial and tables a playground purchase

The Magna City Council voted 5-0 on Sept. 22 to approve Ordinance 2026-O-23, changing the zone of property at 3665 S 8400 W from R-M residential multifamily to C-1 commercial, according to the approved minutes. Planning Manager Brian Tucker said the existing medical office building no longer fit the multifamily zone under the city's updated code. The staff slides say C-1 has the same 45-foot height limit that was a condition of the original R-M zoning, and does not allow residential uses. ^[1]

The council also voted 5-0 to table a possible purchase of playground equipment from Play & Park for a neighborhood park. Grant Coordinator Lea Kingsley presented two options. The attached offer lists totals of $93,109.66 and $99,135.91 after a 50% discount on the main structure, plus $4,658 for surfacing under either option. Council members asked to see the broader park plan from Matt Starley, the city's long-range planner first. ^[1]

Finance Director Daniel Hoffman gave the fourth-quarter report for fiscal 2026, covering April through June. He said revenues exceeded projections by about 10 percent and that spending stayed within budget. The council also reviewed draft updates to Titles 1 and 2 of the municipal code for later adoption. Magna inherited Salt Lake County ordinances when it incorporated, Clayton Preece of the city attorney's office said. ^[1]
