Code change
In review
Pod I, Jordan Bluffs (JB 1-3) zone, near Bingham Junction Boulevard
A developer asked Midvale to change the street plan for the Jordan Bluffs zone near Bingham Junction Boulevard. Ordinance 2026-O-30 would remove two public-street features from the zoning figures: the secondary road that separates Pod I from Pod J, and a narrower public right-of-way along the south edge of the park. The applicant says the change should ease congestion at Ivy and Bingham Junction Boulevard. Planning staff say it would do the opposite by cutting the connections to Bingham Junction Boulevard, would make the area less walkable, and does not meet the city's standard for changing the code, so they recommend denial. The Planning Commission recommended approval on a split vote. The council tabled the item Sept. 15 and asked the city engineer to weigh in on safety and viability; the Oct. 20 packet has the item back without an engineer's report, and the result is not yet posted.
Code change
In review
Citywide, SF-1 zone
A zoning code change allowing garages on corner lots to extend into front setbacks in the Single Family Residential-1 zone, and revising the habitable space definition. A public hearing was on the Oct. 6, 2026 agenda.
Development agreement
In review
8000 South and 300 East · 11.67 acres · 83 units
The Midvale Mills Project is a single-family neighborhood of private streets on land at 8000 South and 300 East. Midvale approved it in a development agreement dated April 14, 2021, for about 10.12 acres and 72 homes. A first amendment on May 24, 2023 added about 1.55 acres, bringing it to roughly 11.67 acres and 83 homes. The second amendment on the Oct. 6 consent agenda (Resolution 2026-R-53) is narrower than its title suggests: because the approved house plans are written into the agreement, builder Garbett Homes needed an amendment to add one more, slightly smaller home plan to the approved list. Garbett's representative told the council on Sept. 15 that the plan gives more flexibility across the remaining lots as the market changes while keeping the community's architectural style, and that about 80 to 90 lots are planned. At that discussion a council member said he was dismayed that the neighborhood is not walkable because of cars parked on sidewalks, and the builder said it was working with the management company to enforce the parking rules. The packet shows no change to the number of homes. The agenda lists the item as a consent item, the packet copy of the resolution is unsigned, and the vote is not in a posted record.

Drinking-water line projects at 13 street locations listed in the city's invitation for bids
Drinking-water pipeline replacement and connection work that the council awarded on April 7, 2026 to Noland & Son Construction Co. Inc. for $3,872,874, funded from bond proceeds. The figure is the approved contract award, not a payment total, and change orders could alter the final cost.
