Local priorities to validate

Three kinds of question, each to be checked with staff.

01

Detached ADU questions.

Utah’s 2026 SB 284 adds a detached-ADU provision with conditions — among them specified municipalities, lots of at least 11,000 sq ft and an existing permitted single-family home — and local standards still apply. A lot-size filter alone does not establish eligibility.

02

Existing properties and infill.

A developed parcel is not automatically irrelevant: an addition, an ADU or redevelopment can start from a lot that already has a house on it.

03

City-owned undeveloped land.

Which parcels the City owns, which are truly undeveloped, and which could carry housing — the Section 104 question, kept separate from everything else.

Whether the ADU provision applies in South Jordan, and how the City’s ordinance and development agreements interact with it, are questions for City staff. Read SB 284 · How many South Jordan lots pass its size and dwelling tests.

Three real lookups, on land the City lists as its own.

City-owned parcels, so no resident’s home appears on a sales page. Each read is dated; open it to read the same point again live.

Score 88 · Worth pursuing — with open questions

Zoning
Two districts cross the lot: OS-P and R-2.5 South Jordan zoning layer
Flood
Area of minimal flood hazard FEMA NFHL
Soil
Bluffdale sandy loam, 1–3% slopes; no flooding class USDA SSURGO

City Owned Parcels: current use “Vacant”, type “Park”; the City’s record does not match county data

Still open

  • Which part of the lot is OS-P, and whether that part can carry anything at all.
  • Sewer service: the soil is “Very limited” for septic, so a sewer connection matters. Not confirmed.
  • Ownership: the City’s own layer flags this record as not matching county data.
  • R-2.5 dimensional standards have not been read into our records.

City Owned Parcels: current use “Vacant”, type “Right of Way”

Still open

  • The FEMA flood zone, re-read when the service answers.
  • What I-F allows, and whether a right-of-way remnant is a building site at all.

City Owned Parcels: current use “Vacant”, type “Undeveloped”

Still open

  • The flood reading. Until it exists the 82 is a partial screen and carries no readiness verdict.
  • What “clayey terrace escarpments” means for a foundation here — a geotechnical question.
  • R-2.5 dimensional standards have not been read into our records.

A score is a screening number, not a housing allocation, a surplus determination or a finding by the City. Utility readings are proximity to mapped streets and power lines, never service or capacity.

Two scopes, kept apart

Every parcel in the city is not the same job as the land the City owns.

All-parcel screeningCity-owned undeveloped inventory
BoundarySouth Jordan’s municipal boundaryParcels the City owns inside it
What the City’s own data showsThe City’s public parcel layer holds 30,364 records. Records are not a verified tax-parcel count: condominium units, common areas and right-of-way can each be a record.The City Owned Parcels layer holds 452 records (452 parcel IDs, about 819 acres). 196 are right-of-way and 107 open space; 7 are recorded as vacant.
Source dateRe-read at agreement; refresh frequency to be agreedRecords last edited 2026-04-02 to 2026-05-07; the layer’s description still says “Updated 2/10/2017”.
Verified?Not yet. Count, sources and cost are confirmed before any quote.Not by us. 18 records name an owner other than the City, and the City marks 31 as not matching county data.

Next step

Choose the 20 properties with us.

Tell us the two use cases and when staff have time. Residents never need an account to look anything up.

Besides accuracy, the evaluation asks

  1. What decision did this information help someone make?
  2. What research, expense or delay did it change?
  3. What still required professional or City review?
Two use cases to test optional, up to two

No payment card. Nothing is charged at the end. We reply within two business days.
