Council Member Marlor asked if they will be discussing the Rise Development issues during the next work session. Mayor Ramsey said they are working to get that on the January 3, 2023 meeting, however that night’s meetings are part of a unique situation. Manager Lewis explained that there are way more items than can fit in the work session for that first 2023 meeting, and they all need to happen that night. Along with that, there is only one very short item for the regular meeting. As a result, they are looking at extending the work session and starting the regular meeting later that night. Attorney Loose said the one item for the regular meeting is the Annual Religious Freedom Proclamation, and if they can find a way to do that during the work session they will cancel the regular meeting and do everything in the study session. Council Member Marlor asked if they will be discussing the Rise Development before they come back to the January work session. The response was no, the developer asked to address the council at the next work session. Council Member Shelton had some questions on the 1055 West change, asking why this change needs to be done now. Director Klavano responded that it is partly because of the Rise Development, because they were going to connect to the road and if it stays historical then they would have some sort of emergency access, which none of the council wanted to do. Technically, it would work with the Rise Development to have only one point of access out to Riverfront Parkway, but it’s not the right thing to do to have that much development with one point of access. This was also a big discussion point at the planning commission, from the residents. Council Member Shelton asked when the road will be improved, assuming things are approved tonight. South Jordan City 3 City Council Study Meeting December 6, 2022 Director Klavano said they would do parts of it as development came along, probably trying to find some CIP money over the next few years. There is a water line that needs to be replaced in the next couple years as well, and some of that funding being used for the waterline can be used to help re-pave the road. Staff has done some high level horizontal alignment to figure out what rights of way need to be purchased, some can be dedicated with development and some will have to be purchased at some point in time. Council Member Shelton asked if staff had any sense of what the cost might be. Director Klavano said no, he hasn’t done a cost estimate. Mayor Ramsey noted that she and the council received a few emails today, and one the end of last week. They will all be entered into the public record. E. Presentation Item E.1. The Point presentation (By The Point Executive Director, Alan Matheson). Alan Matheson reviewed his prepared presentation (Attachment A). He discussed Phase 1 and showed some pictures from Attachment A. This will begin in the center part of the project and he pointed out some of the bigger features of this first phase; a Winter Garden, a pedestrian focus and an innovation campus that will begin with Phase 1. There will be entertainment options, retail, and some connectivity through trails as well. Council Member Shelton asked if the state will continue to own the land and buildings, leasing them, or are they selling any parts of it. Mr. Matheson responded the state will maintain ownership of the land for a few reasons, one being to retain control of the vision. Another reason is providing an ongoing revenue stream for the state in the long-term. If they sell the land, it becomes subject to the Draper Land Use Authority. The buildings will be privately owned for the most part, and there will be a few for sale residential units. They are working closely with Draper, there will be an interlocal agreement as well. Council Member McGuire asked what type of affordable housing will be available. Mr. Matheson said they want to ensure that anyone working there can afford to live there, as that makes it easier for them to avoid commuting and adds a transportation benefit as well. Council Member Zander asked about possible satellite schooling options with universities. Mr. Matheson said they are in conversations with the higher learning in the state, and the Utah system of higher education is directed to oversee the development of the innovation campus on the site. They’ve hired Jefferson Moss to put together that innovation district. It is unlikely that South Jordan City 4 City Council Study Meeting December 6, 2022 there will be campuses with classrooms, but there will be labs and places for graduate students to work with professors. They have also spoken with Canyons School District about having a STEAM focus, an apprenticeship focus, and after school programs, etc. Council Member Zander motioned to recess the Study Meeting and move to Executive Closed Session. Council Member McGuire seconded the motion; vote was unanimous in favor. RECESS CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND MOVE TO EXECUTIVE CLOSED SESSION G. Executive Closed Session G.1.
