Zone change
Tabled
14553 S. 3400 W. · 2.09 acres · 2 units
The owners of about 2.07 acres at the south end of 3400 West, where a family home already stands, want to split the land into two lots of roughly 0.8 and 1.25 acres so a second home can be built. The city's general plan calls for very low density there, under one home per acre. On Sept. 23 the council voted 4-1 against changing the general plan map and 4-1 to table the rezone from R1 to R2, a zone the city created in July that allows up to 1.5 homes per acre on lots of two to five acres. Staff then drafted a ten-year development agreement that caps the parcel at two lots, and the Oct. 14 agenda set both that agreement (Ordinance 2026-21) and the tabled rezone (Ordinance 2026-20) before the council. Records use two acreages: 2.09 acres in the September notices and 2.07 acres in the October legal description, which measures 90,371 square feet. The Oct. 14 vote is not in a posted record yet.

Development agreement
In review
15541 S. Redwood Road · 12.04 acres · 50 units
A development agreement application filed Sept. 17 would allow 50 detached homes on lots of 6,000 to 15,000 square feet on 12.04 acres at 15541 South Redwood Road, about 4.15 homes per acre. The land is zoned R1, which requires one-acre lots, and the general plan calls for under one home per acre, so the applicant is not asking for a rezone or a plan change and is relying on the agreement to permit the layout. The city's transportation plan lists Redwood Road as an arterial and Wood Hollow Drive as a local street. The council discussed the concept in an Oct. 14 work session, which takes no votes. The agreement's text, its exceptions to the zoning and the infrastructure the developer would build have not been published.

Development agreement
In review
14402 S. 1690 W.
Robin's Roost, a boutique at 14402 South 1690 West, operates in a building from about 1920 that began as a market and has been commercial on and off since. The owners want it rezoned from R4 to Neighborhood Commercial, with a development agreement that would let the building and site stay largely as they are: the gravel parking lot would stay, with a new concrete ADA van space, the existing landscaping and structure would remain, and one of two shipping containers would be removed. Requested setbacks match the current front and rear (20 feet) and allow side setbacks from 0 to 20 feet depending on neighbors; the building itself sits 3 feet from the front line and 6 feet from one side. The fire department still has to review emergency access, and the city's building official believes improvements such as an ADA restroom would not be required if the use does not change. The council saw this only in the Oct. 14 work session; no vote has been scheduled.

Proposed
Ordinance 2026-23 would temporarily prohibit data centers in Bluffdale while regulations are studied. On the Oct. 14 agenda.
Road project
In review
14600 South
Bluffdale is studying how to widen 14600 South between Redwood Road and Spring View Parkway, where about 11,000 to 16,000 vehicles a day already use a two-lane road. The consultant, Wall Consultant Group, projects 18,000 to 20,000 a day by 2050 and says four lanes would handle that. Its early concept has two lanes each way with no center turn lane, sidewalks, and bike lanes set behind the curb. It also compares widening to the north, to the south, or a "best fit" that takes smaller strips from both sides so fewer homes are lost, and weighs a signal against a roundabout at 1690 West and a bridge for the Jordan River Trail crossing. Preliminary 2025-dollar costs are about $19 million for the road, $350,000 more for a signal or $2 million for a roundabout, and about $3 million for the trail bridge. The consultant said no funding is in place, getting it could take years, and the whole process could run 10 to 15 years. The City Manager called the numbers very preliminary. This study is separate from the 14600 South railroad underpass now under construction.

Development agreement
In review
3515 W. 13800 S. · 15.72 acres · 20 units
A developer has proposed 20 detached homes on lots of about 14,000 to more than 27,000 square feet on 15.72 acres at 3515 West 13800 South, plus a 6.2-acre parcel kept in agriculture with a seasonal produce stand and detention ponds. The land is zoned R1 (one-acre minimum lots) and the general plan expects very low density, but the developer is asking for a development agreement instead of a zoning change, which state law lets the council do. Staff told the council on Sept. 23 that the agreement would run 20 years, that the special terms mostly protect the farm parcel, and that the developer would pay for road frontage improvements. Council members split on the lot sizes. It was a work session for direction only: no draft agreement had gone to the Planning Commission, and Chapel Row was not on the Oct. 14 agenda.
