Council certifies Frost, Hunter and Carroll wins; general plan draft steers growth south of I-15
November 18, 2025, 4:00 p.m. · City Administration Conference Room, 51 E. Main St.
Sitting as the Board of Canvassers, the council certified the Nov. 4 election: Mayor Brad Frost (4,863 votes) beat George Brown (1,364), and Ryan Hunter (3,873) and Staci Carroll (3,843) won council seats over Deb Anderson (2,990) and Seth Stewart (790), with 29.12% turnout. In a joint work session with the Planning Commission, Psomas consultant Chris Hupp presented the draft general plan, which keeps the built-out north side largely unchanged, adds 'missing middle' housing overlays, and names the area south of I-15 near the transit corridor as the city's largest growth opportunity. Councilmember Hunter objected to attached residential shown south of a planned park east of 100 East.

Item WS 1 · General plan
General plan update (joint with Planning Commission)
Discussed
Chris Hupp of Psomas summarized engagement themes (connectivity, trails, housing mix, public works facilities, growth mainly south of I-15, commercial revitalization) and seven plan elements including moderate-income housing and water conservation. The future land use map leaves the north side largely unchanged with optional missing-middle overlays, and focuses on the area south of I-15 near the transit corridor, downtown, and an East Gateway along State Street. Councilmember Hunter said land south of a planned park and east of 100 East (the church parcel) should not be shown as attached residential; Carroll recalled the council told a 500 East applicant it did not want more density there; staff mentioned densities around 55 units per acre in mixed-use areas.
