Midvale City Planning Commission Meeting 05/13/2026

The Midvale City Planning Commission held a meeting on May 13, 2026, primarily addressing zoning and land use matters. Key procurement-related discussions included a rezone request by JDH Development for four parcels near West Center Street and South State Street, shifting from Transit Oriented Development Zone to Transit Oriented Development Overlay zone to allow higher density mixed-use development. The commission recommended approval of the rezone, which would enable up to 85 units per acre and require 65% street frontage for retail or restaurant use. Additionally, the commission reviewed city-initiated zoning code text amendments to comply with Utah state law changes, including setback exceptions and regulations for home-based micro schools and micro education entities. These amendments aim to align local codes with state requirements and address potential impacts such as traffic and parking. The meeting also included an update on a federal grant (RAISE grant) for infrastructure projects including road modifications and shared-use trails near the Frontrunner station, with funding expected to flow soon. Motions to approve the rezone and zoning amendments passed unanimously.
