Zone change
Highlands Landing North
Denied
A petition to change the Future Land Use Map to Medium Density Residential and Community Commercial and rezone 14.07 acres to R-3-8 and SC-2. On Oct. 13 the council voted 4-3 not to approve it.
Area or general plan
Jordan Valley Station area plan
Approved
West Jordan's council adopted station area plans for two TRAX stops, Jordan Valley and Sugar Factory Road, in a single vote on Sept. 22 (Ordinance 26-34, 5-0, with two members absent). A station area plan is a long-range vision for the land around a transit stop. The Planning Commission had recommended it, and no one spoke at the public hearing. Since the council last reviewed them, staff dropped the 3D concept renderings and added 2D maps of what is on the ground today. The packet does not describe Jordan Valley's contents beyond that, so details such as housing numbers or maps would have to come from the plan itself. Next the city sends the plans to the Wasatch Front Regional Council for certification, and the minutes do not say whether that has happened. Adopting the plan is not a rezone, a financing decision or a building approval, so each of those would need its own later steps. The city has one station area plan left, at 4800 South and New Bingham Highway, due by the end of 2027, and staff expect to ask for the same exception South Jordan received. The minutes were approved and posted with an Oct. 15 notice.
Area or general plan
Sugar Factory Road Station area plan
Approved
The Sugar Factory Road Station plan, adopted along with the Jordan Valley plan on Sept. 22 (Ordinance 26-34, 5-0), shows how the area around that TRAX stop could change over time. The version the council approved is narrower than earlier drafts: it shows no new housing south of the TRAX line, and the only new housing it depicts is on the UTA parking lot. Staff also removed 3D concept renderings and added 2D maps of today's built environment. The Planning Commission recommended approval and no one commented at the hearing. The plan goes to the Wasatch Front Regional Council for certification, and the minutes do not say whether that has happened. The housing on the UTA lot is a concept in a planning document: it would take a landowner's decision, rezoning where needed and building approvals, none of which this vote provides.
Public project
Ron Wood Park municipal well (Well 8)
Under construction
The city's eighth municipal well, meant to add to the water West Jordan can pump for its own system. The adopted FY2027 Water Fund carries $1.4 million for it as a carryover project: $1.15 million in the mayor's budget plus a $250,000 addition. That is a budget line, not a contract price or a total of what has been paid. The well is a separate project from the park's restrooms, parking and fields and from the proposed Ron Wood Park recreation center, which would depend on a county bond vote this November. Latest verified milestone: the mayor's Sept. 14 message called the well "making progress." It does not say the well is operating. Still needed: the operating permit or commissioning record, and the contract, change orders and payments.
