The South Jordan Planning Commission approved an amendment to the Bangerter Highway Mixed Use (BH-MU) text and use on July 14, 2026, according to meeting minutes. The amendment, Ordinance 2026-16, allows for an increase in residential units from 1,600 to approximately 1,865, including 200 units designated for senior housing.
City Attorney Ryan Loose stated that the increase includes approximately 350 additional units, which would be located away from existing neighborhoods and near Bangerter. The project is a joint application between the city and Boyer Company. The development includes a senior center and senior housing that will be tied to adjusted medium-income requirements due to the use of Redevelopment Agency (RDA) funds.
According to Loose, the city will sell the property for the senior housing to Ivory Innovations, a nonprofit arm of the developer, to ensure the income restrictions are maintained. Scott Bergeron of the Boyer Company noted that the development is being planned to accommodate retail tenants who are increasingly requesting more residential rooftops to create mixed-use environments.
During the meeting, commissioners expressed varying views on the development. Commissioner Harding raised concerns regarding the density of housing and potential parking impacts in the area. Conversely, Commissioner Catmull and Commissioner Farnsworth noted that the development could add vibrancy to the district and meet city needs for senior housing.
The commission also addressed several other items during the session, including the approval of the Ridgeview Retail Center Pad F site plan and a conditional use permit for a horseshoe accessory building. Additionally, the commission approved the CJ Estates Preliminary Subdivision Plat, with the applicant stating plans to build a home in the next one to two years.
The meeting adjourned at 7:40 p.m. following the approval of several administrative and public hearing items.
