South Jordan council meets Nov. 17 with one hearing after the city amends its notice

SOUTH JORDAN — The City Council meets Tuesday, Nov. 17, at 6:30 p.m. in the council chambers at 1600 W. Towne Center Drive with one public hearing on its amended notice: Ordinance 2026-26, the zone text amendment that would cut the required distance between wireless monopoles from one mile to half a mile 12.

The city amended the hearing notice to pull a second item, a rezone at 2929 W 11400 S. The amended notice still lists both ordinances, then attaches a note to the rezone: "This Rezone Public Hearing is scheduled for December 1, 2026, not November 17, 2026. This will be re-noticed" 3. The Public Notice Website entry that carried the original hearing notice, posted Nov. 6, is now titled "Amended - Notice of Public Hearing," and its attachment is filed as "Amended State Notice Website Combined Notice-City Council" 45.

The amendment settles a discrepancy this paper reported on Nov. 7. The planning staff report on the rezone put the application before the council on Dec. 1; the notice posted Nov. 6 set the hearing for Nov. 17; the Ledger's account of the meeting listed both hearings for that night 5.

**What the council takes up**

The monopole ordinance is the only hearing on the agenda. The Planning Commission voted 5-0 on Oct. 27 to recommend approval, with Commissioner Steven Catmull absent, Commissioner Lori Harding moving and Chair Nathan Gedge seconding 5. The applicant is Rocky Schutjer of RAGE Development, who told the commission his firm is working with Larry H. Miller Real Estate Group on four monopoles for Daybreak and the area west of Mountain View 5. The amendment changes subsection D of §17.112.070; the chapter's 100-foot height cap, rear-yard placement and setback table are untouched 5.

One item precedes it. Resolution R2026-31 would authorize Mayor Dawn R. Ramsey to sign a franchise agreement with Forged Fiber 37, LLC, presented by Assistant City Manager Don Tingey 2. The meeting opens with Utah State University wellbeing survey results presented by Dr. Courtney Flint, and the minutes up for approval are the Sept. 15 study meeting and combined council and Municipal Board Authority meeting and the Oct. 6 pair of the same 2.

**How to be heard**

The agenda limits public comment to three minutes unless the chair authorizes more, and states that anyone attending by Zoom or phone may not comment during public comment or a public hearing 1. Written comments go to City Recorder Anna Crookston at acrookston@sjc.utah.gov by 3 p.m. on the day of the meeting 1. The amended hearing notice sets a separate route for the hearings themselves: written comments to City Planner Ryan Loose at rloose@sjc.utah.gov by noon on Nov. 17, with attachments capped at 20 megabytes 3.

The notice states the agenda may be amended and that an executive session may be held at the end of the meeting 1. The city recorder certified the agenda was published and posted Nov. 13 2.

The council's 4:30 p.m. study meeting for Nov. 17 has been cancelled, and the next one is scheduled for Dec. 1 6 — the same date the amended notice gives for the rezone hearing 3.
