    Continued review of the 2025 Comprehensive General Plan Update, File #00-6-04-2, focusing on Chapters 1, 2, and 3

  • Formatting and document changes

    made by Logan Simpson in response to prior Commission feedback (photographs, introductory language, graphics, maps)

  • Commercial vs. Mixed-Use land use designations

    Whether to consolidate commercial areas into mixed-use or maintain distinct commercial categories

  • Adjacent jurisdiction land use consistency

    Whether Holladay should account for land use decisions by neighboring jurisdictions (e.g., Millcreek)

  • Protections for commercial uses within mixed-use zones

    Ground-floor retail/commercial requirements in zones such as Holladay Crossroads

  • Opportunity Categories map (Pages 46–47)

    Confusion over the Evolve, Sustain, and Protect categories and whether to retain or remove them

  • Small Area Master Plans

    Their role in the General Plan and how to communicate them clearly to multiple audiences, including developers

  • City funding and economic strategy

    Commissioner Cunningham's concern about over-reliance on property taxes and the need to shift revenue balance

  • Duplex language

    Language in the draft stating duplexes would be allowed in all single-family zones; discussion of whether to soften language and clarify State law compliance

  • Moderate-Income Housing Plan

    State requirements limiting flexibility for built-out cities like Holladay; specific language requirements from the State

  • Figure 4 – Annexation Map (Page 57)

    Color differentiation issues making it difficult to read

  • Numbering of goals and policies

    Restarting numbering by chapter with chapter-specific labels (e.g., "Housing Goal 1")

  • Cross-referencing across chapters

    Proposal to add a summary chart of all goals, policies, and actions at the end of the document

  • Order of chapters

    Discussion of how chapter sequence was determined (minutes appear cut off before full explanation)

Decisions

  • No formal resolutions or final decisions were adopted

    at this meeting. The General Plan review is ongoing and will culminate in a recommendation to City Council.

  • The following directional agreements were reached by consensus:

    • Remove the Evolve/Sustain/Protect Opportunity Categories from the map while retaining relevant language around entitled density
    • Add chapter-specific numbering to goals and policies (e.g., "Housing Goal 1")
    • Add a summary chart of all goals, policies, and actions at the end of the document
    • Add links to Small Area Master Plans within the land use chapter
    • Add an Appendix listing relevant State House and Senate bills, their requirements, and document locations
    • Improve color differentiation on Figure 4 – Annexation Map
    • Soften duplex language to clarify it reflects State law compliance rather than a City-initiated policy choice

Notes

  • No members of the public were present

    ; therefore, the Opening Statement was not read aloud and no public comments were received.

  • Chair Dennis Roach was absent

    ; Vice-Chair Karianne Prince presided over the meeting.

  • Low public engagement noted

    Jonathan Teerlink reported that while there is general public interest in the General Plan update process, there have not been many formal public comments submitted to date.

  • State law constraints

    City Attorney Brad Christopherson emphasized that built-out cities like Holladay have limited flexibility under State law regarding Moderate-Income Housing Plan strategies, and that the Legislature had to add options specifically to accommodate such cities.

  • 4500 South Small Area Master Plan

    Commissioner Gong inquired about a potential Small Area Master Plan for 4500 South; Jonathan Teerlink indicated this is not currently planned, as the road is under UDOT jurisdiction and UDOT partnership is unlikely.

  • Economic reliance on property taxes

    Commissioner Cunningham highlighted a structural concern that the City of Holladay remains overly reliant on property taxes and recommended all Commissioners read the funding section of the General Plan draft.

  • Minutes appear incomplete

    the document ends mid-sentence during Jonathan Teerlink's explanation of chapter ordering; the full discussion on that topic was not captured in the provided text.
