Commissioner Gedge seconded the motion; vote was unanimous in favor. Commissioner Catmull was absent from the vote. Commissioner Nathan Gedge suggested discussing the possibility of adding public comments to future agendas at the next meeting. Chair Hollist opened the meeting for public comment. Joby Kamp (Resident) My biggest concern with South Jordan is Beckstead Lane. It just seems like it is a patchwork quilt with no rhyme or reason to it. We have homes, we have commercial, we have homes, we have commercial, we have farmland; it just seems like it is a messy conglomerate and it would be really nice to know what you guys feel is know who the city planner is, or who has come up with this plan, but we have lived here for nine years now and there is really no rhyme or reason to Beckstead, it is really messy. Chair Hollist closed public comment and asked staff to forward those comments to City Council. She shared that from what she knows, sometimes infill projects can be tricky as things develop a piece at a time. She recommended going to the City Land Use Plan, which is updated every 10 years. City Planner Greg Schindler agreed that the City Land Use Map was the best place to look, but reminded the public that the designations are broad and can include commercial development and residential development. The east side of Beckstead is pretty much all residential, and that was planned that way because of the density of those developments; they were not allowed to be built on the other side of the canal back in the days when these projects were approved. On the other side of Beckstead, previous and current City Councils have preferred to see commercial development along Redwood. Since it is not necessarily a wide strip between Redwood and Beckstead, that is why there is more commercial along Beckstead. Recently a townhome project was approved off Beckstead, but on the Redwood side there is commercial development. The property along Redwood is expensive and the property owners along Redwood want to build commercial or higher density to get the most out of it. The general plan can be found on the esignations and definitions. F. SUMMARY ACTION - None G. ACTION - None H.
