General Plan Update ("Holladay Horizons")
Continued public hearing and multi-section review of the 2025 Comprehensive General Plan Update (File #00-6-04-2), in accordance with Utah Code Ann. §10-9a-Part 4
Overall document format and layout
Review of chapter titles, presentation, and accessibility before diving into specific chapters
Goal and policy numbering/cross-referencing
Concern that goals are not tied to chapter titles, creating confusion when multiple chapters share similarly numbered goals
Document accessibility
Discussion of whether the plan is readable for both frequent professional users and general residents; suggestion to add generalized introductory language
Physical vs. digital copies
Practicality of having physical copies available at Planning Commission meetings
General Plan Compliance section in Staff Reports
Proposal for Staff Reports to include a dedicated "General Plan Compliance" section with references to specific plan sections
Future Land Use Map vs. Zoning Map
Whether both maps should appear side by side; limitations due to zoning map changes over time; use of the plan portal for dynamic updates
Land use terminology on Page 13
Concern that some listed items (e.g., restaurants, personal services) are not formal land use categories, creating potential confusion
Opportunity zones and corridors map (Page 24)
Suggestion to bold certain sections and include street size references for clarity
Chapter 3 — Design standards and neighborhood character
Discussion of scale, form, and style of new construction; limitations imposed by State Legislature on single-family residential design standards
Transportation section
Concern about lack of implementation strategy for addressing known congestion issues (e.g., Holladay Boulevard); reference to access point management strategies used in Cottonwood Heights
Economic development (Page 45)
Discussion began but was not captured in the available minutes text
Primary and secondary land use designations
Clarification that these refer to area-wide vision, not individual parcel zoning
Survey methodology
Questions about how survey questions were developed, whether the previous General Plan was used as a baseline, and whether residents were asked about their frequency of General Plan use
Colors in Chapter 2 charts
Suggestion to revise colors to reduce confusion
Future Land Use vs. Zoning table (Page 26)
Discussion of expanding the table to better distinguish General Plan designations from Zoning Ordinance regulations
