Holladay meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Holladay roundup: water plant hearings, a county budget briefing, and a Nov. 5 rezoning hearing

No minutes have been published for the four Holladay meetings held in the past two weeks, so the official record supplied to this outlet contains no recorded decisions, vote tallies or approved dollar amounts from those sessions. The Planning Commission and City Council entries for Oct. 20 and Oct. 22 are agenda-only. The nearest scheduled decision point is a City Council public hearing on Nov. 5 over a proposed zone change at 2221 East Murray Holladay Road.

Water treatment plant hearings at 4772 S. Naniloa Dr

The Planning Commission's Oct. 20 agenda listed public hearings on conditional use permits for a drinking water treatment facility at 4772 S. Naniloa Dr. One entry describes a request from the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District to use property in the Public Use zone for a drinking water treatment plant. A second entry describes a conditional land use permit for "Casto Springs - Jordan Valley Water Treatment Facility" at the same address, for construction of water treatment improvements at an existing public facility. The two entries appear to describe the same project and address. Because minutes are not yet published, no decision, condition or vote on either request is established in the record.

City Council work meeting, Oct. 22

The Council's work meeting agenda listed a Salt Lake County Council presentation on the county budget, services and key priorities; a UPD quarterly report from Chief Ackerman; a UFA quarterly report from Capt. Brown; a Public Art Plan presentation by Megan Attermann; a CDBG update by Ann Garcia; and a discussion of short-term rental options by Jon Teerlink. The supplied records contain two entries for this date listing the same agenda. Work meetings are listed as reports and presentations; the agenda does not list action items.

Coming up

Arts Council, Oct. 28. The Council is scheduled to discuss budget and programming updates, including the Public Art Plan and Spring Lane Public Art, and to review grant funding updates listed as ZAP Grant: $32,700; GALAA Grant: $5,000; UA&M Creative Aging Grant: $2,600; and Cottonwood Study Group: $500. Proposals for a children's concert and an Art Walk design concept are also listed. The agenda describes these as items for review and discussion; no grant awards are recorded as decided.

Historical Commission, Oct. 28. The Commission is scheduled to vote on a proposed Executive Committee: Chair Whitney Law, Vice Chair Martha Bradley Evans and Secretary Kathy Lambert. The agenda also lists a review of the Plein Air Holladay and Cemetery Tour events, planning for the 2027 Speaker Series including confirmed talks on January 13 and November 10, a grants update regarding CLG and ZAP, and an update on Holladay Youth Council oral histories.

City Council, Nov. 5. A public hearing is scheduled on an amendment to the city zone map at 2221 East Murray Holladay Road, changing the zone from "P" (Public) to "PO" (Professional Office) to allow professional office uses. This is the only item in the supplied upcoming agendas that carries a scheduled public hearing before the Council.

About this roundup

Details above come from published agendas. Where minutes have not been published, this article does not report an outcome, and the absence of a recorded decision is not evidence that none was made. Agendas can change; the linked official documents are authoritative.

Holladay Planning Commission agendas set four Oct. 6 hearings; no outcomes published yet

Holladay's Planning Commission was scheduled to hold four public hearings at its Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2026 meeting, according to the city's published agendas. The records available for that meeting are agendas only — minutes have not been published — so no decisions, vote tallies or outcomes from Oct. 6 are established in the material reviewed here. No dollar amounts appear in those agendas.

The meeting was set for 6:00 p.m. at the city's temporary location, 3330 S 1300 E in Millcreek, with a 5:30 p.m. work session at which, the agenda states, no decisions would be made. City notices state that meetings are not being held at 4580 S 2300 East.

Water treatment facility at 4772 S Naniloa Dr

One hearing concerned a conditional use permit for the "Casto Springs - Jordan Valley Water Treatment Facility" at 4772 S Naniloa Dr (File #26-2-07). The same file appears again on the commission's Oct. 20 agenda, where one notice describes a request from the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District to use a property in the Public Use zone for a drinking water treatment plant, and a second notice describes a conditional land use permit to construct water treatment improvements at an existing public facility.

Hulton Park South: open space lot would become a building lot

A hearing addressed an amendment to the Hulton Park South residential PUD subdivision at 2394 South Murray Holladay Rd. in the R-1-10 zone (File #20-1-15-2). The property owner asks to convert "Lot2a" from an associated open space lot to a residential building lot with a designated historic easement. According to the notice, that would create one new residential building lot, for a total of three lots in the plat.

Rezone at 3200 E 3900 S

A hearing covered a zone map amendment for approximately 0.24 acres (10,454 sq ft) at 3200 E 3900 S, from R-1-8 to R-2-10 (File #26-4-06). The item is a recommendation to the City Council, so any commission action would be a recommendation rather than a final zoning decision. The city's summary of the application states the change would alter allowed density from two single-family dwellings per 10,000 square feet to one.

Covington Park townhomes

A hearing covered a concept plan for "Covington Park," an 18-unit townhome subdivision on 1.24 acres at 6037 South Highland Dr, accessed from 6060 South, in the Residential Multi-family zone (File #26-1-07). The notice describes the item as a conceptual review only.

Also on the agenda

The commission was also scheduled to vote on minutes for 07/07/2026 and 08/04/2026. Public comment was accepted in person or by email to cmarsh@holladayut.gov or by phone at 801-527-3890 by 5:00 p.m. on the meeting date; the rezone notice lists email comment by 5:00 p.m. on the meeting date as well.

Coming up

Oct. 20 — Planning Commission. A public hearing on the conditional use permit for the Casto Springs - Jordan Valley Water Treatment Facility at 4772 S Naniloa Dr.

The notice describes the session as a work meeting to receive presentations and reports.

Holladay takes up ADU rule rewrite, townhome plan, rezone and water plant; no minutes yet published

Holladay officials spent the first week of October on a proposed rewrite of accessory dwelling unit rules and a slate of land-use requests, according to meeting agendas. As of Oct. 13, minutes had not been published for any of those meetings, so the agendas show what was scheduled for discussion or decision — not what was decided.

Council takes up ADU ordinance

The City Council met Oct. 1 at 6:00 pm at 3330 S 1300 E to hold a public hearing and consider Ordinance 2026-15, amending sections 13.71.045, 13.100 and 13.04 of Title 13 on accessory dwelling units. The proposed text amendment would modify standards for the approval process, building design and placement of ADUs. One agenda summary states the amendments are intended to align ADU standards with Utah's SB284 (2026).

The same agenda listed a consent item to approve minutes from April 23, July 16, August 6, August 20 and September 17, a city manager report, and a closed session under U.C.A. 52-4-204 and 205. Comments were accepted in person or by email until 5:00 PM on the meeting date. The agenda listed upcoming council meetings on Oct. 22, Nov. 5 and 19, and Dec. 3 and 10, 2026.

Planning Commission: four hearings

The Planning Commission met Oct. 6 at 3330 S 1300 E, with a 5:30 pm work session at which no decisions were to be made, followed by a 6:00 pm meeting. Four public hearings were scheduled:

• A conditional use permit for "Casto Springs - Jordan Valley Water Treatment Facility" at 4772 S Naniloa Dr (File #26-2-07).
• A conditional use permit amendment for "Hulton Park South - PUD" at 2394 Murray Holladay, converting Lot 2a from open space to a residential building lot (File #20-1-15-2). One agenda summary states the change would add one new residential building lot, for a total of three lots in the plat, in the R-1-10 zone with a designated historic easement.
• A Zone Map Amendment to rezone approximately .24 acres at 3200 E 3900 S from R-1-8 to R-2-10 (File #26-4-06). This item is a recommendation to the City Council. The city's description of the application states it would change allowed density from two to one dwelling per 10,000 sq ft.
• A concept plan for "Covington Park," an 18-unit townhome subdivision on 1.24 acres at 6037 South Highland Dr, accessed from 6060 South (File #26-1-07), in the Residential Multi-family zone. The agenda describes this as a conceptual review only.

The Commission was also scheduled to vote on minutes from 07/07/2026 and 08/04/2026.

Tree Committee

The Tree Committee met Oct. 1 at 4:00 PM at the Holladay Library, 2150 E Murray Holladay Rd. Agenda items included the May 15, 2027 tree giveaway, including whether to use "air" pots and which tree species to offer; a 12-month events calendar; a map showing where tree application vouchers originate; a volunteer application from Patti and Kim Kimball of Walker Lane; and Arbor Day 2027 site planning, with St. Vincent's noted as a possible first choice. No votes on ordinances, contracts or fees appeared on the agenda.

What the record does and does not show

All seven recent meeting records supplied are agendas only, with minutes not yet published. No vote tallies or outcomes are available, and nothing in these records establishes that any item was approved, denied or continued.

Coming up

The Planning Commission is scheduled to hold a public hearing Oct. 20 on a conditional use permit application from the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District to use a property in the Public Use zone for a drinking water treatment plant at 4772 S. Naniloa Dr. The City Council agenda of Oct. 1 listed its next meetings as Oct. 22, Nov. 5 and 19, and Dec. 3 and 10, 2026.

Holladay council to hear zoning changes Sept. 3; recent meetings yielded no decisions

In the past two weeks, Holladay's City Council, Planning Commission, and a bids-and-proposals panel met or were scheduled to meet, but none produced a final decision. The most consequential action ahead is a pair of public hearings on zoning changes set for Sept. 3.

Recent meetings

Coming up

City Council public hearings (Sept. 3)

The council will hold two public hearings:

• **Rezone at 4032 S. 2300 E.:** A proposal to change about 1.65 acres from Public to R-1-10 residential zoning. This would allow single-family homes on lots of at least 10,000 square feet. The front portion of the property would retain public zoning.

Public comments on both hearings can be submitted by email until 5 p.m. on the meeting date. The meeting is open to the public.

No other meetings are scheduled in the next two weeks beyond the Sept. 3 council session and the Sept. 1 Planning Commission meeting.

Holladay roundup: Planning Commission canceled, budget hearing and zoning review ahead
