Annexation near 2441 North Rose Park Lane and rezone at 2350 North Rose Park Lane
Discussed
The proposal would annex about 28 acres, zoning city-owned land at 2440 North and state-owned land at 2462 North as Open Space and the 2441 North parcel (Hunter Stables) as Residential/Mixed-Use, and rezone 2350 North from AG-2 Agricultural to R-MU. The parcels are used for horse boarding and equipment storage. The change would allow a mixed-use, multi-family development of potentially 1,800 dwelling units. The planning commission recommended against it. Members discussed transit, green space, noise, a food-desert area, safety tools in the R-MU zone, the road's interaction with the canal and Jordan River, and why the requested zone rather than lower density. The applicant's team said changes addressed planning commission concerns and mentioned a possible development agreement.

- AG-2 to R-MU (2350 N); annexed parcels OS and R-MU

Annexation near 2441 North Rose Park Lane and rezone at 2350 North Rose Park Lane (public hearing)
Tabled · 7-0
The proposal would annex about 28 acres and rezone land for a mixed-use, multi-family development of potentially 1,800 units. Seven speakers opposed it, citing freeway pollution and health, too many units for the space, traffic and noise on a dead-end road already busy with soccer fields and trucks, schools, lost views and open space, an existing canal as a safety hazard, and slow emergency access. A representative of the applicant said it was willing to work through concerns. A second speaker supported it as a way to add homes during the housing shortage. The council closed the hearing and deferred action.
