Bluffdale council tackled short-term rentals, storage containers, and water bonds July 22; outcomes pending
Bluffdale's City Council and Planning Commission held a packed July 22 agenda covering short-term rental regulations, storage container rules, new land-use definitions, water revenue bonds, and the potential sale of city-owned property. Minutes from the meeting have not yet been published, so final votes and outcomes are not yet confirmed in the public record.
Short-term rentals
The council scheduled public hearings and a vote on Ordinance 2026-13, which would establish regulations for short-term rentals in Bluffdale. The proposed text amendments to Chapter 3.100 would create new definitions, permitted locations, inspection requirements, fees, and compliance standards. Short-term rentals would be allowed in residential zones and prohibited in commercial and industrial zones under amendments to Chapters 11.350.020 and 11.350.030. The Mixed Use and SD-X Bringhurst Station Project Zone standards would also be amended to allow short-term rentals as a permitted use. The city is the applicant; staff presenter is Ellen Oakman (Application 2026-02).
Storage containers
Ordinance 2026-12 would enact Section 11.160.320 to regulate the placement and use of accessory storage containers — including shipping containers, Conex boxes, enclosed truck trailers, and freight containers — in both residential and non-residential zones. The council sought public comment on the proposed text amendment (Application 2025-23).
Fulfillment centers and medical transportation
Ordinance 2026-11 would add definitions for "fulfillment center" and "medical transportation establishment" to Chapter 11.20 and amend Section 11.350.020 to allow those uses in specified non-residential zones. The city is the applicant; staff contact is Caitlyn Tubbs (Application 2026-18).
Water revenue bonds and surplus property
Two resolutions were on the agenda: Resolution 2026-38, approving Water Revenue Bonds, Series 2026, and Resolution 2026-39, authorizing the surplus of city-owned property. Dollar amounts for the bonds were not listed in the available agenda materials.
