Land use map amendment, about 5300 W. 1100 South (30.52 acres)
Recommended for approval · 6-0
City-initiated amendment changing about 30.52 acres from Design Industrial to Residential Medium Density, described by planner Cody Opperman as the second half of a previous combined proposal, intended to prevent further encroachment of Design Industrial/Planned Industrial uses and to match the Residential Medium designation already on a neighboring property. The property is unincorporated and would need to be annexed to receive matching residential zoning. No conditions. City Council records identify the landowner as Property Reserve Inc. (the real estate arm of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), which plans a long-term rental community; the council approved the change in November 2025. The church also owns roughly half of the adjoining Meadow View Ranch land (April 16, 2025 minutes).
