The South Jordan Planning Commission held a meeting on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, to review several development applications and administrative items. The session included public hearings for residential subdivisions, commercial site plans, and a conditional use permit for a detached garage.
During the meeting, the commission reviewed the Park Place Phase 5 Preliminary Subdivision application. The proposal seeks to divide a 2.02-acre parcel, currently zoned Agriculture 1 Acre, into three distinct lots. The development includes a northward extension of New Berkshire Lane and a paved trail. Staff recommended approval of the application.
Other site plans approved during the session included the Almond Dental Building 2 Site Plan and the Seven Brew Coffee drive-thru site plan. The Seven Brew Coffee project, which is expected to open approximately 120 days after approval, features a double drive-through and a 510-square-foot building. The applicant noted a goal of having 28 to 30 locations in Utah by the end of 2027.
The commission also addressed a conditional use permit for the Peck Detached Garage. Despite discussions regarding second-story window proximity to property lines, the commission approved the application in a 3-1 vote. Additionally, the commission approved the Sri Ganesha Hindu Temple site plan, which includes plans for a future expansion of the temple and India Cultural Center.
Regarding residential zoning, the commission recommended a favorable vote to the City Council for the Fitzgerald and Wagstaff residential zone amendment. This request aims to amend the zoning to be uniform across the property.
City officials discussed upcoming changes to state law regarding accessory dwelling units (ADUs). Director Brian Preece stated that new state legislation will prohibit the city from requiring conditional use permits for ADUs starting October 1, 2026. While the city can still regulate setbacks, it will no longer be able to regulate window types or specific size restrictions for ADUs under the new law.
