from Commissioner Catmull attached. Chair Hollist seconded the motion; vote was 5-0,
unanimous in favor. Commissioner Bevans was absent from the vote.
D. STAFF BUSINESS - None
E. COMMENTS FROM PLANNING COMMISSION MEMBERS
Commissioner Catmull encouraged the other commissioners to listen to the audio from the Study
Session they attended with the City Council regarding short-term rentals, suggesting staff have a
draft legislation before the weekend, so the commissioners can spend time studying it before it is
presented in a meeting. Chair Hollist seconded the suggestion.
City Planner Greg Schindler responded that it is looking like that will not be under the zoning
code, but under the business licensing, and therefore will not be presented to the commission
during a meeting for a recommendation before going before the City Council. He did offer to
forward a copy when completed to the commissioners for their information.
Commissioner Nathan Gedge shared he will no longer be absent the second meeting in October,
and is planning to attend.
F. SUMMARY ACTION – None
G. ACTION - None
H. ADMINISTRATIVE PUBLIC HEARINGS
H.1. DAYBREAK SOUTH STATION PLAT 3 CONDOMINIUMS PHASE 2B
PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION
Address: 5263 W. Reventon Drive
File No.: PLPP202400155
Applicant: Daybreak Communities
City Planner Greg Schindler reviewed background information from the Staff Report and his
prepared presentation (Attachment B).
Commissioner Nathan Gedge asked the distance from the new Downtown Daybreak area, noting
the allowed street parking was before the plans for the ballpark/Trax station, and asked how that
will be factored in. He has concerns about the off-site parking for these housing units along with
parking for other events and light rail station.
South Jordan City 3
Planning Commission Meeting
October 8, 2024
Planner Schindler responded that other events shouldn’t be taking up street parking, there are
already plans for around 1000 parking spaces for the stadium and megaplex.
Chair Hollist invited the applicant forward to speak.
John Warnick (Applicant Representative) shared this is between two light rail stops, almost
right in the middle between the two. The parking is all contained within the condominium
development, and should not interfere with anything being planned in Downtown Daybreak.
Chair Hollist asked if they had similar product in Daybreak, allowing them to comment on
parking and if the model has worked.
Mr. Warnick responded this is an extension of the Holmes Homes condominiums, being built as
Phase 2. There have been no complaints about parking and when asked whether they make it
clear to potential residents that they only have one parking spot on-site, he responded that is in
their declarations when the units are sold. It is also obvious in the Daybreak declarations as well,
and he noted he has a family member that lives right across the street from this project and she
has not had any complaints over parking either.
Chair Hollist asked for the bedroom counts on these units.
Mr. Warnick responded he believes this building is two bedrooms.
Commissioner Ray Wimmer asked about the number of parking spaces and units in Phase 1 of
this development.
Mr. Warnick responded he did not have that information available at the moment.
Planner Schindler was able to share that Phase 1 has 66 units as well, located directly east of this
project.
Chair Hollist opened the Public Hearing for comments; there were no comments and the hearing
was closed. She noted that she shares the concerns for parking, but it does meet the requirements
for the zone. She is glad to hear there will be additional parking included for the
commercial/recreational future projects in the area and doesn’t see any reason this should not be
passed.
Commissioner Gedge motioned to approve File No. PLPP202400155, Preliminary
Subdivision, based on the Staff Report and discussion this evening; subject to the
following: All South Jordan City requirements are met prior to recording the plat. Chair
Hollist seconded the motion.

H.2. DAYBREAK URBAN CENTER PLAT 2 PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION
Address: Generally south and west of the future Salt Lake Bees Stadium
File No.: PLPP202400050
Applicant: Perigee Consulting on behalf of Miller Family Real Estate
City Planner Greg Schindler reviewed background information from the Staff Report and his
prepared presentation (Attachment C).
Commissioner Nathan Gedge asked about connection to adjoining streets.
Planner Schindler responded there will be access to what will become the frontage road,
currently Mountain View.
Commissioner Gedge asked if these will have right turn only access, specifically asking about
traffic flow when it becomes a frontage road far west of these dedicated properties.
Deputy City Engineer Jeremy Nielson responded it will tie into the northbound segment of
Mountain View Corridor with a right-in/right-out access. He also believes the city already has
the permits to make both of those connections from UDOT; that has been in the works for quite a
while.
Commissioner Gedge asked if UDOT and/or the city has already looked into potential conflicts
with Lake Avenue, to the south of the Mountain View Corridor Access, to avoid slow down of
traffic.
Engineer Nielson responded yes, that has been looked at extensively with UDOT.
Commissioner Steven Catmull asked if Mountain View Corridor going to travel under this.
Engineer Nielson responded there will be slip ramps coming off the mainline in that vicinity,
which has caused some of the complications with these accesses, making sure there aren’t
strange weave patterns being created for traffic. The mainline will be about the same grade as the
frontage roads at that location due to those slip ramps.
Commissioner Sam Bishop asked about any right turn lanes, perhaps widening of the frontage
road at that point, to allow for easier traffic flow.
South Jordan City 5
Planning Commission Meeting
October 8, 2024
Engineer Nielson could not recall if UDOT required that and suggested asking Mr. Warnick
about any planned acceleration/deceleration ramps.
Chair Hollist asked if the two sections missing in this application had already been turned over to
the city.
Planner Schindler responded they will not be turned over to the city, but there will be easements
recorded there so travel is allowed across the Rocky Mountain property.
Engineer Nielson confirmed that is correct, the city is currently working to get that worked out
with Rocky Mountain Power. He added that with the UDOT piece, the city does have a right of
entry with UDOT, allowing entry across that segment to the north; that right-of-way dedication
is currently being worked out with UDOT.
Mr. Warnick added those will be right-in and right-outs with a small accel and decel lane going
in. If you look at the current work being done on Mountain View, in the median between the two
frontage roads, the U-turns and right connections are being put in right now. Engineer Nielson
was correct that the permits have been given by UDOT, and noted that these will probably be
paved in the next few weeks and it’s all part of the engineering plan behind getting access in and
out of downtown Daybreak.
Chair Hollist opened the Public Hearing for comments.
Bennion Gardner (Resident) – I wanted to add a comment here, I’m not asking for anything in
particular, but just sharing a little bit. I was hit by a vehicle last year on Mountain View and
South Jordan Parkway, was out for a jog and because of that I have started a petition asking for a
pedestrian and cyclist bridge across Mountain View Corridor right in this area. Mainly, that is
because I am looking at these plans and seeing this and hearing some of the concerns at this
meeting tonight that there is a lot of concern over traffic and what to do with all the vehicles that
will be coming and going from this area. What I am looking and asking for is for some balance
in the planning. The city has agreed to meet with our group pushing this petition, which I am
excited for, and I am hoping to learn more information. If you want traffic and vehicles, then you
will make it easy for cars to get to this area; adding more roads, lots of parking lots in the area,
that will bring lots of cars to the area. If you want to reduce traffic and reduce parking issues,
then we need to make it easy to get to these games and get to this area on foot or on bike. Not
everybody owns a car either and wants to get around by vehicle. I am hoping as the planning
goes forward and plans are made, that we can have more of a balanced approach than what I
have been seeing so far and make it safe for people to get around in Daybreak. Daybreak is
known as a walkable community, but it seems like that has kind of gone to the wayside here in
this area. I know the plan eventually is to build overpasses for Mountain View, but that wouldn’t
have helped me in my situation as the car that hit me was turning right on to Mountain View.
Two weeks ago a mom and her four year old were hit by a vehicle exiting Mountain View, and
now here we are adding two more on and off ramps basically to Mountain View. It is not a
freeway yet, it is a frontage road still, and those access points create hazards for people on bikes
South Jordan City 6
Planning Commission Meeting
October 8, 2024
or on foot. That is my ask, we work to make it safe for everyone that wants to get to the games
and make it easy for those who don’t want to drive a car so traffic and parking is reduced.
Chair Hollist closed the hearing and asked staff to comment on concerns shared, specifically any
plans for walkability and pedestrian/cyclist access to this area.
Engineer Nielson responded there are a number of things being done for multimodal
opportunities at the ballpark. There is a new Trax station being built right on the east side of the
ballpark that will make it very easy to access it via transit. Lake Avenue has a center running
cycle track that will allow access, as well as South Jordan Parkway having that center running
cycle track for similar access. They have found that many of these pedestrian accidents occurring
are due to right turning vehicles, because when they are making a right turn they are looking left
and the pedestrian is on the right side. In fact, 90% of the pedestrian accidents on Mountain
View in South Jordan are exactly that conflict. The crossings on South Jordan Parkway and Lake
Avenue are center running, crossing in the middle of the intersection which eliminates that right
turn conflict. There will also be some grade separated crossings at the drainage basins at
Bingham Creek on the north end of the city, as well as at Midas Creek on the south end of the
city. He also added that the city is only aware of the petition referenced through the media, they
have not received a formal petition. The City Manager has reached out to Mr. Bennion and there
is a meeting scheduled this week.
Commissioner Catmull asked if the pedestrian access issue would be something UDOT would
delegate to the city if additional structures or access were desired.
Engineer Nielson responded he didn’t know, as those are UDOT facilities currently.
Commissioner Catmull noted that those issues are probably beyond this application anyway,
since they are only looking at the subdivision and whether it meets the current requirements.
Commissioner Gedge asked for the next steps towards dedication to the city, does it go to City
Council, or just city staff.
Planner Schindler responded this will be dedicated through the recorded plat, just like any other
street.
Commissioner Gedge asked, because part of these roads will be easements and not actually
property owned by the city, what happens in terms of maintenance and liability.
Engineer Nielson responded that situation comes up in many areas of the city, the easement
allows the city to operate and maintain the roadway.
Commissioner Wimmer asked what caused the city to decide that an easement was the best
option here versus ownership.
South Jordan City 7
Planning Commission Meeting
October 8, 2024
Planner Schindler responded that was Rocky Mountain Power’s decision, not the city’s; they
don’t want the city to own property that is part of their whole property, and will require the city
to maintain the roads.
Commissioner Gedge asked if the city has the option to use eminent domain for something like
this, or if that was impossible due to this being a regulatory agency.
Engineer Nielson responded the city could use eminent domain if desired, but the first approach
is always to try and make things work for both parties. He also noted that generally, whoever
owns the property first retains the property and grants easements for whoever crosses it in the
future. That is how the city handles park properties if a power line or something similar crosses
the property, the city would grant an easement without allowing the entity to buy the property.
Commissioner Catmull motioned to approve File No. PLPP202400050, Preliminary
Subdivision; subject to the following: All South Jordan City requirements are met prior to
recording the plat. Chair Hollist seconded the motion.

H.3. SOUTH JORDAN COMMERCIAL PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION
Address: Generally located along the north side of South Jordan Parkway
between Grandville Avenue and Mountain View Corridor (10850 S. 5675 W.)
File No.: PLPP202200141
Applicant: Trish Smith – Arbor Commercial/Residential
City Planner Greg Schindler reviewed background information from the Staff Report and his
prepared presentation (Attachment D).
Chair Michele Hollist asked about a parcel for a road.
Planner Schindler responded this will be a private roadway going through, and he was unsure if,
when the north side developed, they would add another segment of the parcel to make it wider.
There is one road being dedicated as public, the rest are drive aisles and similar things that will
be private.
Chair Hollist noted there were two acreages listed, one at 5 acres and one at 8.1 acres.
Planner Schindler responded it is 8.1 acres, the 5 acre measurement was a mistake.
South Jordan City 8
Planning Commission Meeting
October 8, 2024
Chair Hollist invited the applicant forward to speak.
John Gust (Applicant Representative) is the President of Arbor Commercial/Residential
Properties. He asked staff if the traffic signal was still listed in the requirements. He continued,
noting they are in agreement with the Staff Report as presented, noting a concern with the signal
issue previously being worked out. They will begin construction early next year, the architect is
doing several renderings for his approval currently and they are trying to come up with
something different to be a good entrance to that area.
Chair Hollist noted that his answer would not impact the commission’s decision tonight, and
asked if Mr. Gust could share anything about the future plans for the properties.
Mr. Gust responded it will be commercial. They are next to the University of Utah and currently
have 17 acres there on the odd shaped north piece. The University has 80-90 acres to the north
and they have been negotiating with them to include 15 acres of their property. They have
worked an agreement out with Daybreak in the last 60 days, selling 10 acres across the street to
them so they could have the cohesive development to the north where the ballpark is. As part of
that whole agreement, it was agreed that he could work with the University to bring in 15 acres
of their land if they could come together with a development they all like.
Chair Hollist asked about potential tenant information.
Mr. Gust responded they get calls every day. They are going to own the whole development,
they will not be selling anything there, and will be building it out as the owners. They feel it is
one of their most valuable pieces of property, and as a result will be taking their time to make
sure it is done right and he hopes the city will like it; he thinks they will.
Chair Hollist asked for the purpose of the specifically designated section labeled as “parcel”.
Mr. Gust responded that is just an access road, so after entrance visitors can leave via different
accesses and allow for better traffic flow.
Chair Hollist opened the Public Hearing for comments; there were no comments and the hearing
was closed.
Commissioner Steven Catmull noted that with commercial developments like this there are
vehicle access minimum widths between lots for vehicle access, and asked if those also apply to
the CC Zone. He didn’t see anything called out in the Staff Report, but also didn’t see anything
that looked inappropriate.
Planner Schindler responded these properties may have separate accesses from South Jordan
Parkway, those accesses would have to be granted by the city and there are limitations on how
close they can be on collector streets.
South Jordan City 9
Planning Commission Meeting
October 8, 2024
Mr. Gust added that parking and movement of traffic will be under the future development
agreements with each tenant; everybody will be granted access to those access points and
parking, and those will be shown on future site plans submitted.
Commissioner Sam Bishop noted that his first concern upon seeing this application was
connectivity, and he appreciates the thought put into providing that here.
Commissioner Gedge motioned to approve File No. PLPP202200141, Preliminary
Subdivision; subject to the following: All South Jordan City requirements are met prior to
recording the plat.
Commissioner Gedge then asked to confirm that this file number is from 2022, and whether there
are any statute of limitations/timelines that need to be considered before approval.
Planner Schindler responded that once approved there will be time limits, but there is nothing in
the code related to this submission in terms of time limits. The city knew what the issues were
here, and why it wasn’t moving forward; however, if it was a different project that had no
updates they would have contacted the applicant and inquired about going further with their
application or clearing it from the system. In this case, there were good reasons for the delays.
Chair Hollist seconded the motion.

I. LEGISLATIVE PUBLIC HEARINGS - None
J. OTHER BUSINESS
J.1. Planning Commission Discussion regarding Commission Rules for 2025.
Chair Michele Hollist noted that Commissioner Steven Catmull has done a lot of legwork finding
examples and sharing those with the commission via email. After reviewing the materials shared,
she feels the Santaquin City Planning Commission Bylaws (Attachment E) were a good place to
start. The commission reviewed the referenced bylaws together, with her noting she liked their
outline on how meetings run, with the standard procedures they follow; those would be nice to
have, especially for a new commissioner, to help define what they mean when they say they
South Jordan City 10
Planning Commission Meeting
October 8, 2024
follow Robert’s Rules in general. Her hope is to have a working copy by the commission’s last
meeting in November to allow a copy to be given to Attorney Simonsen for feedback; she noted
they would appreciate Attorney Simonsen’s input greatly, due to both his legal background and
helping a planning commission in the past do something similar.
Assistant City Attorney Greg Simonsen was willing to offer any help possible.
Commissioner Sam Bishop asked for clarification regarding remote attendance and participation
by commissioners during meetings.
Chair Hollist shared her preference would be to require in-person participation, but she is also
open to following the council’s rules on the subject.
Commissioner Steven Catmull noted that was his question, if they only chose to follow the City
Council’s procedures for remote participation, why would they follow Santaquin’s procedures
for everything else.
The commission discussed whether or not our City Council has their own rules of procedure or
bylaws, agreeing that would be a good place to start. She noted that the Santaquin example
appears to follow the template from the League of Cities and Towns, which was a little more
involved than the ones they discussed from Murray. Commissioner Gedge added that the
Santaquin example was very similar to West Jordan’s.
Attorney Simonsen noted the city does have guidelines for boards and the like, but they
specifically exclude the planning commission. He believes the reason for that can be explained
by looking at Section 17.16.010, sub part 1, where it lays out specifically what the planning
commission can do, and gives the commission a lot of discretion. He noted the commission’s
limits are going to be pretty obvious, as the code already gives the commission rules on how they
conduct their business. However, he gave the extreme example of if the commission decided in
the name of efficiency that they were going to cut public comment in a way not allowed by the
code, or do anything else that infringes on constitutional due process, obviously the code would
already limit that. As long as the commission’s motivation is to get fair process for people,
allowing them to feel heard, as well as incorporating efficiency in meetings, those things should
be okay. He believes that, even though nothing is written currently, the commission does have
some rules already. Some examples of that were seen tonight, telling those speaking they have
three minutes, which is not written down officially anywhere. The way our commission responds
to questions is a little unusual, but he feels it is done in a good way, taking all the public
comment, writing down all the questions and responding at the end; does the commission want to
officially write that down as a rule that will be continued to be followed, or not.
Chair Hollist asked if they wanted to discuss this further tonight, or take the paperwork home to
review. The subject she always struggles with finding an orderly way to proceed with, especially
on a hot topic item, is how to handle the question/issue where they could have an opportunity to
clarify, or the answer to the question brings up another question. Another thing the council
currently does that the commission does not, that can be discussed, is having an open comment
South Jordan City 11
Planning Commission Meeting
October 8, 2024
section at the beginning of the meetings. That has not been done in the past for various reasons,
and it has been discussed with Director Schaefermeyer.
Commissioner Gedge noted that if they want this done in November, they should probably add
reviewing the draft as an action item on the next agenda, noting they need to leave time for
possible approval by the city council or other issues.
Attorney Simonsen invited the commissioners to review Section 17.16, noting that he would
interpret that to say the commission’s rules on conducting their own business is in their domain.
The council can do things as noted in that section, like removing a commissioner, but in terms of
setting rules there is room for broad discretion under the code.
Chair Hollist asked if they are allowed to discuss this over email, as long as the results are
presented in public.
Attorney Simonsen would prefer that wasn’t done. If group discussions start happening it begins
to conflict with Public Meeting requirements. If a discussion is started, he asked to be copied on
those emails to ensure there are no potential problems down the road.
Commissioner Catmull asked about creating a subcommittee of less than the majority, if they
could then draft something up and share it with the rest of the group.
Attorney Simonsen noted that there is still time with another meeting in October, and a meeting
in both November and December to present drafts. The ordinance allows the commission to
make changes at any time, not just the first of the year, if more time is needed. It would be good
for both the commission and city as a whole for any discussions to be open for anyone to hear.
Chair Hollist asked if it would be appropriate for one commissioner to take on the task of
creating the first draft, or even just an outline for the next meeting.
Attorney Simonsen didn’t see any other way of beginning the process.
Chair Hollist asked if it would be more complicated if more than one person worked on that, or
would it be better to just have discussion noting what specifically they would like to
keep/remove from the example, noting why in a group setting.
Commissioner Catmull feels it would be best to have one or two people take the previously given
suggestions and create something for everyone to review.
Planner Schindler noted that would be a better process, using the example of the last city council
meeting where they discussed the short-term rentals. The Legal Department came to the council
in an open meeting and helped the council start drafting that ordinance by bringing up each point
and asking what they’d like to include. If each commissioner could come up with a list of what
they’d like to see in the ordinance, they could have a similar discussion in the next meeting
regarding what they want in the rules with everyone participating.
South Jordan City 12
Planning Commission Meeting
October 8, 2024
Commissioner Ray Wimmer asked specifically to address a mechanism to ask questions of
public commenters. He has felt many times that the ability to ask a simple clarifying question
could have avoided a heated discussion, and there is currently no mechanism for that.
Attorney Simonsen additionally noted that he’d like to avoid a group of emails being written
outside of the public’s view, and those things being brought to a future meeting where the
commission has already reached a consensus but the public hasn’t had a chance to give their
input.
Commissioner Catmull asked if they could have a work session where they worked on a Google
Doc to share and present those ideas.
Attorney Simonsen responded yes, as long as it is noticed properly.
Planner Schindler reviewed the items expected on the next meeting’s agenda, noting that he will
be absent and Planner Miguel Aguilera will be presenting items in his absence.
Attorney Simonsen shared some insight from the city’s code regarding commission rules and
regulations, noting it says they may be modified or amended at any time by the planning
commission, at any of its regular meetings. He doesn’t know if that excludes noticing of special
meetings or not, but to be safe he thinks it would be good to keep it in the regular meetings and
be especially careful about avoiding any private meetings related to the topic.
Chair Hollist recommended adding it to the agenda for their next meeting, similar to how it was
done for this meeting, and allotting up to one hour for that discussion. She would also like to see
the example submitted tonight to be slightly edited to have South Jordan on the top and
published with the next meeting’s packet as the working copy they will be using for their
discussion that night, allowing for the public to give input beforehand.
Attorney Simonsen believes it is okay for the commissioners to speak to city attorneys, as well as
have verbal discussions with each of their council representatives, which might yield additional
helpful suggestions.
Commissioner Catmull suggested making that discussion a standard agenda item for a few future
meetings to prioritize the election of specific positions within the commission and keep things
moving.
Chair Hollist agreed, noting that prioritizing the election of those “special positions” at the
beginning of the year would be helpful, expediting the discussion of rules for that process. The
commission agreed that at the next meeting they will prioritize discussing the appointments for
the beginning of the year, traditionally a Chair, Vice Chair, and Architectural Review Committee
(ARC) representative; also inviting suggestions for additional elections.

Hi Cindy,
Here is the language I am going to propose we amend to the minutes in case it is agreed to.
Commissioner Catmull stated that the Flag Lot Overlay Zone code enforces all City Code
requirements, except for lot size, unless modified or waived in the development agreement. He
found no provisions in the agreement to prevent the spread of flag lots along a street. Both
Commissioner Catmull and Ryan Loose agreed that enforcing intent language is challenging.

Subject: Proposed change to last meeting minutes
Hi Anna,
I would like to propose a modification to the minutes from last meeting.
Starting around
He then explained why this application is able to use Title 17 requirements and bypass
some of the Title 16 requirements to legally do so. The commission is being asked tonight
to decide whether or not to recommend the Title 17 requirements be applied to the
property. The second part of this, which would have to be approved conditionally and
prematurely, to decide whether or not to apply it if it meets the requirements.
Essentially, the commissioners need to decide whether they feel the zone that allows flag
lots should be applied to this area or not.
I believe a good summary of my concerns that went with his comments would be something
like this:
Commissioner Catmull said the Flag Lot Overlay Zone code says that all requirements of the
City Code except the ability to have a flag lot because of lot size are in effect with the passing
of this rezone except those modified or waived in the development agreement.
Commissioner Catmull saw no provisions in the developer agreement that would waive the
effect described in the code to prevent proliferation of the flag lots along a street.
Commissioner Catmull and Ryan Loose agreed that intent language is a challenge to enforce.
This was about 30-35 minutes into the audio.
Thanks,
Commissioner Catmull
