Applicant: South Jordan City
Planner Andrew McDonald reviewed background information from the Staff Report.
Commissioner Laurel Bevans asked if a Phase 2 is funded in the next few years, will the
commission see that site plan before construction, or is this approving all future phases.
Planner McDonald responded that this vote is only for what is before them tonight. Any future
phases would come back with an amendment.
Commissioner Steve Catmull asked about average cul-de-sac sizes and how this one compares.
Deputy City Engineer Jeremy Nielson gave those measurements.
South Jordan City 3
Planning Commission Meeting
October 24, 2023
Commissioner Catmull asked how many months out of the year staff sees this park actually
being used based on weather.
Engineer Nielson responded there might be soil amendments to make the ground handle the
water slightly better, but there will be some weeks where it will not be available due to weather.
Realistically he sees this being open as early as March and staying open until November or
December, weather pending.
Vice Chair Nathan Gedge opened the public hearing for comments.
Greg Dill (Resident) I am on the east side of the boot displayed on the last graphic. Our main
concern is with the rezoning of this land, the previous graphic showed a boot and we are on the
toe side of the boot, so to speak. That retention pond often has a lot of water in it and it has a lot
of wildlife, we get deer back there and migratory hummingbirds, which we are all very fond of
we just do from the ankle up where the actual development is being done.
Vice Chair Gedge acknowledged the emails received prior to the meeting from Klodian and
Chantelle Mitri (Attachments A and C).
Klodian Mitri (Resident) I just wanted to follow-up on what that Phase 2 looks like so we can
all understand what potential phases might impact the zone. In addition to that, I have signed
petitions from all the houses on the west side of that entire zone, and all those are not in favor of
any of these types of improvements. When you are saying it has been well received by the
community, we are the ones most impacted on that entire border. I can also email that signed
petition to the rest of the commission if needed. If you guys have this funding and are just
investing in this area, as someone who frequents the Welby Canal path I was also the person who
e focus some of that funding on the 18 miles
a bike park that maybe not everyone wants. I think everyone would want a well-maintained area,
maybe we can start with little things like trimming up the shrubs that are not maintained or
maybe putting in some nice benches that families can actually enjoy. You mentioned the hours of
-10 minutes west,
even though there are some cul-de-sacs that can only handle 10 cars at a time, there is definitely
purposefully all built here because it is peaceful, calm, and we enjoy the views. The last thing we
want is more noise pollution, light pollution, etc. We are already handling ATVs, trucks that are
driving on that Welby Canal path illegally; I can only imagine the motorized activity that will
come about hav
the place for that.
Jenny Morgan (Resident) I honestly oppose all of it, I feel like it all kind of snuck up on us. I
would have been here at the last meetings you had but I was working in Boston and out of town.
As Klodian said, I worry about a lot of people parking there, the dust it will create. We have
South Jordan City 4
Planning Commission Meeting
October 24, 2023
go through there, along with a lot of birds; I just worry that all of that will be driven away if we
have a lot of people riding bikes back there all the time. Honestly, if we have money I feel like
ke having a freeway right
next to our homes; I think Klodian covered the rest.
Vice Chair Gedge closed the public hearing. He then asked staffed to address the questions from
the public.
Planner McDonald explained that the entire area is being rezoned because it was necessary to
help support this project, but the existing current future land use is OS (Open Space) which the
city would like to maintain. The rezone to the OS-P (Open Space Parks) was to make
everything consistent with the future land use designation, which allows for, and is more suitable
for this open space use as you can see from the maps provided. The storm water detention basin
in the boot currently serves to cover these surrounding subdivisions, and as has been stated in
previous meetings and tonight, is not a part of this application. As it is today, it shall be after, if
this application was to be approved.
Vice Chair Gedge asked staff if there were any concerns in regards to natural wildlife.
Deputy City Engineer Jeremy Nielson responded that there are no concerns for the area being
discussed.
Vice Chair Gedge asked for details on the decision to dedicate funds to this project.
Engineer Nielson responded that early every year the City Council approves Capital
Improvement Projects, and this was a project on that prioritized list. The list spans five years,
and this one received funding for Phase 1 only this year. Phase 2 is not even on that list, and
there are no plans for that. There is some additional area that could potentially be used, but as
mentioned in previous meetings the city is trying to be very sensitive to the neighbors. The city is
not trying to generate a lot of traffic there, keeping it more for the users on the Welby Trail and
kids learning to ride bikes.
Vice Chair Gedge asked to confirm that any illegal motorized vehicles being used on the
property could be reported to the police.
Engineer Nielson confirmed.
Vice Chair Gedge asked about potential concerns with additional noise or lighting concerns.
Engineer Nielson responded that there are no additional concerns, any noise generated will be
drowned out by Bangerter Highway.
Vice Chair Gedge asked to confirm that all residents within 300 feet of the property were
noticed, and that it was also published to the Utah Public Notice website per our requirements.
South Jordan City 5
Planning Commission Meeting
October 24, 2023
Planner McDonald confirmed that was correct.
Vice Chair Gedge asked to confirm that the cul-de-sac is dedicated to parking for this park, and
the total amount of spaces.
Engineer Nielson responded the cul-de-sac was created oversized for parking uses, and it can fit
for fire access and anything else. Since these are all public streets, it is legal for visitors to park
in front of homes; however, if it became a nuisance there are parking restrictions that could be
it lacks many of the bigger obstacles.
Commissioner Catmull asked if the structures being installed would support motorized vehicles
like an OHV or ATV.
those types of vehicles to put their full weight on. If they were intentionally abused like that they
probably would not hold up to the weight of those vehicles.
Commissioner Catmull asked about repairing future damage and where that funding would come
from.
Engineer Nielson responded those repairs or replacements would be done as part of the
maintenance fund, and as long as the foundation is still good the other repairs would be simple
and minor.
Vice Chair Gedge mentioned vandalism and potential charges.
Engineer Nielson responded that he was unsure of the exact crime, but that it would definitely be
something police could be involved in.
Commissioner Bevans noted there were questions from the public about the details on Phase 2,
and she shared that information was available in the packet from the September 26, 2023
meeting and encouraged those interested to review those archived records on the city website.
Planner McDonald reiterated that the Phase 2 renderings are merely concept plans, they are not a
site plan. In regards to the park pavilion itself, he clarified that it is a public space, available on a
first come, first served basis, subject to the hours enforced by the city. The pavilion and park
trail does not have any lit posts along it, and this project is not proposing to install any additional
ones at this time. The only one currently on site is the one existing along the cul-de-sac, between
the park and nearest home.

H.2. RMP DAYBREAK SUBSTATION SITE PLAN AND CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT
Address: 7028 West 11800 South
File No.: PLCUP20230012, PLSPR202300017
Applicant: Christopher Anderson
Planner Miguel Aguilera reviewed background information from the Staff Report.
Vice Chair Nathan Gedge asked if utility uses are conditional in all zones of the city.
City Planner Greg Schindler responded it is a conditional use in all zones; however, there was an
ordinance change that came before the commission and was forward to City Council regarding
making these uses a permitted use. It has not gone to the City Council yet, but it will in the
future.
South Jordan City 7
Planning Commission Meeting
October 24, 2023
Vice Chair Gedge asked to confirm that historically, other conditional uses have been permitted
for utility use in an A-1 Zone. He wants to ensure they are not setting a precedent this evening.
Planner Schindler confirmed that is correct.
Commissioner Laurel Bevans mentioned the changes to the residential protection area and asked
for the details of the change.
Planner Aguilera referred to a map from the packet and explained which adjacent zones might
end up being residential. Since there are no existing residents, staff felt it could modify that
requirement for this zone instead of having a specific buffer.
Commissioner Steve Catmull asked for the reason behind the 1000 foot distance.
potential detrimental effects of any uses next to residential areas. For this specific use, there were
no detrimental effects found.
Commissioner Catmull asked about safety measures in case the area becomes residential.
Planner Schindler responded there will most likely be residential areas nearby, but power lines
are commonly used throughout the city in many neighborhoods and there has never been any
danger inherent with them in place and used.
Assistant City Attorney Greg Simonsen appreciated the concern of the commission, however city
code gives the planning director and city engineer the right to make a decision waiving the 1000
foot requiremen
jurisdiction to override that decision in regards to the 1000 foot buffer.
Commissioner Catmull noted that his intent was just to make sure they understood the reasoning
for the exception on the buffer.
Christopher Anderson (Applicant) referred back to the images from the Staff Report and
noted the existing right of way along the north side of the road. The plan for this substation is to
bring that current voltage overhead into the east side of substation at about the midpoint. He also
noted that part of this change is to step the power down from its current voltage, which happens
with the transformer protection and control. He also discussed the switchgear that conveys the
voltage underground for residential and commercial needs.
Vice Chair Gedge opened the public hearing for comments. There were no comments and the
hearing was closed.
Commissioner Darby motioned that the Planning Commission approve the Conditional
Use Permit, File No. PLCUP202300012, allowing for construction of the RMP Daybreak
Substation located at the address listed above. Vice Chair Gedge seconded the motion.

H.3. MISSION CHURCH CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND SITE
PLAN
Address: 10978 South 2200 West
File No.: PLCUP202300061, PLSPR202300057
Applicant: Jacob Iverson
Planner Andrew McDonald reviewed background information from the Staff Report.
Vice Chair Nathan Gedge stated that his children have attended summer camps with this
organization for many years, have any ownership stake in this business. He asked
about possible safety concerns with overflow parking and the nearby equestrian center.
Planner McDonald noted staff had no concerns. This is private property and can post signs about
vehicles being towed if not parked for the intended use.
Commissioner Steve Catmull asked about an option to add a middle turn lane, or would there be
a need for one with everyone leaving at the same time after a service.
Deputy City Engineer Jeremy Nielson responded that if it becomes necessary that could be added
later, however with that potential being on Sundays the traffic volumes are generally light and he

Jacob Iverson (Applicant) Project is conversion of an equestrian barn to a church building.
Exterior modifications are very minor to the structure itself. Interior plans are for approximately
300 movable seats to allow for different uses and events, including Sunday morning service and
a few other events throughout the week. Concrete structures being removed on the property will
be done with the proper demo permits to ma
equipment. They also plan to update the interior for insulation requirements and other needs. The
plan is for the church to move their operations to this location once construction is complete.
Vice Chair Gedge opened the public hearing for comments.
Rich Sanford (Pastor at the Church) I am a pastor at the Mission Church. We planted here
about 10 years ago and have been here in South Jordan ever since. We are very grateful for all
the work the team has done to get everything up and running. To clarify, we are a pretty typical,
traditional Christian Church with the hours you might expect. Sundays are the only busy day, we
have everyone there for one service hour which usually ends up lasting about three hours with
arrivals and departures. The rest of the week there might be one to two nights of the week for
meetings with youth and children, or random business type meetings. Occasionally we might do
a week long kids camp, as was mentioned, and those are only for the early morning hours from
9:00 to noon; those are done one time a year. The use of the space is hoped to be typical of what
someone would expect for religious services in a place like that.
Michael Walker (Resident) I am very close to the property in question. My only comment or
question would be specific to the lighting situation. I am not familiar with the city ordinances,
but I would ask that with my property being so close, if the lights would not be on if the property
was not in use.
Mike Bennion (Resident) I am the property directly west of the church being proposed. I just
have a concern about the elevation of the fence on the west side of the property right up against
the canal. I was wondering if there was anything we could do because in the documents sent out
with this, from my property where I will be building a house shortly, I will be able to see directly
into the parking lot. I wanted to propose, or see if there is anything we could do about basing the
bottom elevation of the fence off of the canal road, versus where the property line slumps off and
drops down a couple feet. Is there anything we can do to cover up the parking lot as much as
possible.
Vice Chair Gedge closed the public hearing. He asked staff to address concerns shared by the
public.
Planner McDonald responded that per the lighting plan in the meeting packet, all lights are
shielded and pointed directly down, as required by city code. Staff has no concerns regarding
light bleeding into the adjacent subdivision. In regards to sloping and the fence brought up, what
is being proposed complies with city code in regards to fencing in this application. There is a
grading plan listed in the packet, and the grading along the canal and the fence line in the same
space is relatively consistent and flat. With the subdivision to the west, there is a portion where it
South Jordan City 10
Planning Commission Meeting
October 24, 2023
drops a little bit, but according to the final grading plan, and the engineering plans, they have it
consistent with the grade of the canal and the fencing being installed.
Commissioner Laurel Bevans asked about a potential café or coffee shop on the property.
Mr. Sanford replied there are no plans for that.
Vice Chair Gedge motioned to approve the Conditional Use Permit Application, File No.
PLCUP202300061, based on the findings and conclusions listed in the Staff Report.

Applicant: Kirk Young
South Jordan City 11
Planning Commission Meeting
October 24, 2023
Planner Andrew McDonald reviewed background information from the Staff Report.
Commissioners and staff discussed the lengths of stay allowed with this proposal and what the
intended use is for the hotel.
Doug Young (Applicant) They are very excited for this project, which is intended to be more
of a resort. He shared his prepared presentation (Attachment F).
Vice Chair Gedge acknowledge public comment received via email before this meeting,
Attachments B and D. He then opened the public hearing for comments.
John Clark (Resident) I really appreciate what Mr. Young and the City Council did years ago
does this pathway need to be general commercial. Wh
the golf course road that goes in-between the water and sand trap.
Joan Wells (Resident) I am directly to the south of the proposed hotel. I am not for or against
the hotel, lly negative, but I do have a few concerns. The hotel
will be built directly adjacent to out residential area, and there are no other commercial
establishments in that area at all except for the Harmons in Daybreak. You then either have to go
down to the c
given the fact that a golf course usually is not operational for about four months out of the year
and I do have some concerns about the hotel there. With boutique hotels like this this, which is I
not profitable and they built it as an extended stay, I have some concerns about what could
happen to that building. The plan is to build this three story, 100 room extended stay type hotel,
and that means it is going to have a kitchenette in every room. Three stories is also kind of tall. I
can see the need for that, if you are going to build a hotel you have to have a decent amount of
rooms, but they will be able to view directly some homes that are adjacent to that. With that said,
we have had a couple meetings with the owner, and he did say that he would put like a 20 foot
berm type of barrier there with some trees and things like that which would buffer that zone a
little bit from the parking coming up next to the fence. My first concern is that our fence right
now is a Styrofoam fence that looks like stone, but is not, and you could kick a hole in it if you
wanted to. I did talk to the owner about this as well and I would like that to be a stipulation of the

our backyards are maybe 8 x 12 and tiny. My biggest concern is probably not going to affect me

Mike Thomsik (Resident) I live in the Glenmoor Villas, just south. Doug has put millions in
this golf course and it has all been a success, with many improvements and still putting money
into it. He also landscaped on the east side of the townhomes and they love it. I think the
South Jordan City 12

I am all for it. I live there, I think it will bring the values of the homes up. I think some of them
are excited about the coffee shop that is going to go in there, and I am definitely excited about
commercial?
Mark Pehkonen (Resident) - I live in one of the condos that adjoins the golf course, and I am
the president of the HOA for those condos, consisting of 39 units that are clustered along Skye
Drive. I just became aware of this, this evening, because I live outside of the 300 foot zone, and I
update to the plans. The HOA I am a part of was very involved in obtaining
the use of the open space/park use of this land in the first place. Since Doug took ownership of
the course, I have nothing but positive things to say about what he has done for the golf course,
but also as a neighbor to us. My thought was, as I saw this, that I think he is going to undertake
this project with the same type of neighborliness he has shown to us. I hesitate to say that I speak
n this to them yet, I am not
sure how many of them know about it, but as the president I am going to solicit their input,
which I can suppose provide at the city council meeting. My guess is that they would be in favor
of it, but I will canvass them and come back with that. For, it looks like a good thing on first
blush.
Eric Burson (Resident) I live on the 7th fairway and found out about this today because I
happened to drive by 4800 and saw the public notice sign. I was a little taken aback because, like
initial concern is traffic mitigation, especially in the next three years when 9800 and Bangerter
becomes untenable. 10200 is a two lane road, 4800 is a speed limited road at 30 mph, Skye Drive
is a speed limited road at 25 mph which is exceeded constantly. Has the traffic mitigation been

a hotel for one or two nights, is it an extended stay that is an executive extended stay where
valley. It is a little bit disconcerting to think about the traffic that could come from high volume
movement like that, and I just hope somebody considers that.
Shawn Labrum (Resident) I live adjacent to the property, the single house on the southeast
corner of the property to say a
couple of things. First of all, I want to commend Doug for engaging the community. He has been
a great neighbor for the last several years, and he has met with all the homeowners in that area
and encouraged our input to some of his designs. I also want to just say he has my support for
what his plans are there. We have talked about the offsets, how it will affect my view, and
South Jordan City 13
Planning Commission Meeting
October 24, 2023
reason why that would change.
Diane Golden (Resident) I wanted to thank Doug for reaching out, he has reached out three
times already, and I am on the board there at the HOA. One thing I was really concerned about
was being on the 18th. Last year he spent a lot of money putting in the grass where the rough was
off the 18th green, because that has been dirt and a nightmare. However, now we have a beautiful
green grass that feeds into the green and when I talked to Andrew I was really concerned that
some day there could be some structural service buildings for the golf course, that if parking ran
out on the lower side we could potentially have a mower shop in front of the house, which would
destroy our property. Doug has agreed to a structural easement on the 18 th
really commendable. I hope that will take place. He has agreed to a concrete precast fence to
split the properties, and I think that will go in with lots of beautiful trees and things that are going
ak mentioned something about there
being three entrances to the hotel, which one would be really close to Hoggan Alley which is
need that far one close to Hoggan Alley, or if we could get by with two. I am in favor of the
hotel.
Henry Corzan (Resident) I am here on behalf of my wife, Dawn Corzan, and myself. We are
elated that improvements continue to be made with this golf course. We moved back to Utah in
2018, it only took several months and up went signs saying we were going to sell it all. Being the
largest property owner in the subdivision I was shocked. We had moved back from Florida
where we have seen numerous golf courses fail, and when the golf courses fail, the communities
fail. What Doug has done is beyond belief. He obviously has spent a lot of personal money
wonderful, and I am so happy the future of the golf course is being protected in making these
improvement and I believe he is a steward of land, more of a conservationist than a developer, or
even a golf architect. We were very happy and highly recommend this development. Having the
largest property I want to maintain my value as well.
Commissioner Gedge closed the public hearing.
Mr. Young discussed the stem mentioned, going in front of the ponds, has plans to be expanded
and they plan on having fly fishing in there with the rare Bonneville trout with the veterans being
able to fish there. They have done a complete traffic study, which will be submitted during the
site plan, and this lessens the traffic because people can stay there during the tournaments, rather
than currently coming in from outside the US and having to travel down to the freeway.
Regarding the stays here, the length is very limited and the costs in this resort hotel is very
expensive; unless you have a group to bring in. While we will have kitchenettes in the rooms,
there will be six kids with an adult there. They are brought in groups and we host most all the
high schools in the southwest quadrant, along with the groups that come in from out of state.
These are not apartments. They plan on installing a concrete wall as a barrier as well between the
course and residences.
Vice Chair Gedge asked about the three entrances.
South Jordan City 14
Planning Commission Meeting
October 24, 2023
Engineer Nielson responded that will be reviewed more closely when site plans are received.
There was an infrastructure analysis, with part of that looking at the transportation system, and
they have no concerns with the concept. There will be an increase in traffic, but many will be
staying and golfing there; however, 4800 West can take quite a bit more traffic and still stay
within a reasonable level of service.
Commissioner Bevans clarified that the development agreement references the city code as
lodging, and that indicates a stay less than 30 days. She asked if there is anything in the
development agreement that extends that further, or if it is just based on city code.
Planner McDonald said it would refer back to the wording in the city code.
Commissioners shared their final thoughts on the proposal.
Commissioner Darby motioned to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council
to approve Resolution R2023-50, approving the development agreement. Seconded by Vice
Chair Gedge.

Planner Miguel Aguilera reviewed background information from the Staff Report.
Matthew Tracy (Layton Davis Architects) Previously there were some concerns raised
related to parking and they wanted to be good neighbors, sensitive to their environment. They
have taken the site plan and reversed it, placing parking in the back and maximizing the distance
between adjacent residential zones. There will also be a six foot high masonry wall at the back
end for additional separation. Throughout the land use process they intend to comply with all
applicable requirements.
Vice Chair Gedge opened the public hearing for comments.
Stan Balfour (Resident) I am just adjacent to that property.
only the beginning, but in the city I understand there have been some challenges with drive-
thrus. Since that drive-thru on the west would be next to our property, that close to that fence, it
is an interesting situation. hat is my main
concern; not to stop the development, but the drive-thru is an interesting situation that we need to
look at seriously.
Vice Chair Gedge closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Laurel Bevans asked if this property is located where the median is located, or
could there be left turns in and out of this property.
Ultimately, they will need a permit from UDOT, and he expects UDOT will restrict the access to
right in and right out.
Commissioner Bevans asked about the distance between the fence and building on the site plan.

City Planner Greg Schindler noted that the code requires a 30 foot distance away from the
residential properties on the side and rear. They will also be required to have a 10 foot
landscaping buffer in that 30 feet on the west side and south side where the parking is.
Commissioner Bevans has no issue rezoning this to CC, but she thinks they all share the
hesitation to put a drive-thru in a residential backyard and she shared that with the applicant,
asking them to consider that before it comes to site plan.
Vice Chair Gedge added that with the potential for stacking on to South Jordan Parkway, that
will be a main concern.
Commissioner Darby motioned to recommend approval to the City Council of Resolution
R2023-48, approving the Land Use Amendment and changing the designation from Stable
Neighborhood to Economic Center; Resolution R2023-06-Z, approving the zone change
from Single Family Residential to Community Commercial. Seconded by Commissioner
Bevans.
