Jordan Valley Station area plan
West Jordan's council adopted station area plans for two TRAX stops, Jordan Valley and Sugar Factory Road, in a single vote on Sept. 22 (Ordinance 26-34, 5-0, with two members absent). A station area plan is a long-range vision for the land around a transit stop. The Planning Commission had recommended it, and no one spoke at the public hearing. Since the council last reviewed them, staff dropped the 3D concept renderings and added 2D maps of what is on the ground today. The packet does not describe Jordan Valley's contents beyond that, so details such as housing numbers or maps would have to come from the plan itself. Next the city sends the plans to the Wasatch Front Regional Council for certification, and the minutes do not say whether that has happened. Adopting the plan is not a rezone, a financing decision or a building approval, so each of those would need its own later steps. The city has one station area plan left, at 4800 South and New Bingham Highway, due by the end of 2027, and staff expect to ask for the same exception South Jordan received. The minutes were approved and posted with an Oct. 15 notice.

September 22, 2026 · City Council
Adopting the Jordan Valley Station and Sugar Factory Road Station area plans (Ordinance 26-34)
Approved · 5-0
Senior Planner Tayler Jensen presented changes made since the council last reviewed the plans: 3-D concept renderings were removed, 2-D maps of the current built environment were added, no new housing is shown south of the TRAX line at Sugar Factory Road Station, and the only new housing shown there is on the UTA parking lot. The Planning Commission reviewed the plans and recommended approval. If adopted, the plans go to the Wasatch Front Regional Council for certification; the minutes do not say whether that has happened. Jensen said the city has one remaining station area plan, for 4800 South and New Bingham Highway, due by the end of 2027, and that staff would seek an exception like the one South Jordan received. No one spoke at the public hearing.
