South Jordan roundup: July meetings held but outcomes not yet public; rezoning hearing set for Aug. 4
South Jordan's City Council, Planning Commission, and Senior Advisory Committee all met in the second half of July, but minutes have not yet been published for any of those sessions. Because only agendas are available, this roundup reports what was scheduled for consideration — not what was decided. The most consequential items on the table were a proposed water impact fee for the Lark Meadows/Shoreline area and creation of the So Jo Marketplace Public Infrastructure District.
