This chapter provides standards for land development within the Jordan Bluffs zone (JB zone). The entire JB zone property will be planned and developed in accordance with this chapter and Chapters 17-7-10.11 and 17-7-10.12. Generally, the JB zone encourages a dynamic mix of uses to include up to three thousand five hundred residential units and commercial and mixed-use development. All new development that occurs within the JB zone is subject to institutional control plans, as approved by the Environmental Protection Agency, the Utah Department of Environmental Quality and the city of Midvale. In the JB zone, new development shall, to the extent relevant:

A. Address environmental conditions of the site through adherence to applicable institutional controls governing (among other things) materials management, cover and barrier maintenance and replacement, surface water management, and so forth;

B. Include variations in architectural design and housing types and affordability that have direct access to open space or parklands;

C. Implement a project which joins new construction with the overall Midvale community in a thoughtful and constructive way;

D. Coordinate a mix of sustainable uses and development that complement housing and commerce opportunities and that are compatible with adjacent historic neighborhoods;

E. Include landscaping to provide a distinctive visual quality to the area;

F. Include multi-modal transportation links including the extension of Bingham Junction Boulevard;

G. Provide significant, functional, improved open space; and

H. Provide pedestrian connections within and among developments, between adjacent neighborhoods, and to the Jordan River Parkway.

For purposes of planning and zoning, the property within the JB zone has been classified into four subareas (numbered 1 through 4) as depicted in Figure 1. Zoning plans, to include the review process and land use regulations for each of the subareas, have been created and shall be applied to all new development in the JB zone.
