Topics getting the most attention in Herriman City public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
The city is reviewing proposed updates to commercial, mixed-use, and manufacturing zoning rules to better handle commissaries, outdoor retail displays, and seasonal sales.
The City Council was scheduled to discuss amendments to the Land Development Code to permit detached ADUs. A public comment highlighted a proposed state bill (HB477) that would prohibit more than one ADU per parcel, urging the city to adopt a more restrictive approach (either detached *or* internal, not both) to prevent increased density and parking issues.
A request to permit a church and related services within an existing building in the M-1 Manufacturing Zone requires a Master Development Agreement. This raises questions about the compatibility of a place of worship with industrial uses, potential impacts on traffic, parking, and noise, and the precedent it might set for future land use in manufacturing zones.
Awaken City Church is seeking approval to establish a place of worship and related services in an existing building within the M-1 Manufacturing Zone. This required a Master Development Agreement and a public hearing was held.
Edge Homes proposed to change the land use and zoning of 15.47 acres from C2 Commercial to Mixed-Use Neighborhood Two, intending to build residential units alongside commercial pads and a hotel. This proposal sparked debate over the balance between commercial and residential development, the impact of increased density, and whether the design truly reflects an integrated mixed-use concept.
This change allows a long-underutilized property to become a new commercial space, specifically a veteran-owned bicycle shop. It's a step towards bringing more local businesses and services to Herriman.
The proposed rezone from Office Professional (OP) to Commercial (C-1) for 0.97 acres at 6319 W 13400 South will allow for a new veteran-owned bicycle sales and service shop. This change aims to revitalize an underutilized property, bring new commercial services to the community, and increase the city's tax base.
A property owner requested to rezone their 1.06-acre parcel from A-1-43 to A-1-10 Single Family Agricultural, with a condition limiting density to two dwelling units per acre. This change would allow for a flag lot subdivision, similar to other properties in the area, impacting local density and neighborhood character.
Herriman City proposed amendments to its fencing code to clarify language, allow wood as a permitted fencing material, specify vinyl-coated chain link for recreational areas, and remove chain link with vinyl slats as a screening option in certain zones. These changes affect property owners' choices for fencing materials, aesthetics, and maintenance responsibilities city-wide.
The Planning Director briefly mentioned pending amendments to the city's fence regulations. Details were not discussed due to time constraints, but this indicates potential changes to how fences can be constructed or regulated within the city.
Concerns were raised about development elevation changes, particularly regarding hillside development. Staff will review existing city ordinances and compare them with neighboring cities to identify potential adjustments, aiming to balance regulatory oversight with property rights.
