HOUSING
Since its incorporation in 1941, the City of West Jordan has transformed from a rural community to the third largest city in Utah. West Jordan’s central location within the Salt Lake Valley, proximity to job centers, housing options, recreational and cultural opportunities continue to attract residents to the City.
Although West Jordan’s housing stock is predominantly single-family residential, there are a wide range of housing options available in the City, including opportunities for individuals, families, people with different abilities and those who may prefer to use public transportation. Housing needs change as citizens progress through their life cycle, and over time, may require different types of housing. Residents may want to continue living in the West Jordan community while moving to a home that better suits their needs. Maintaining a balance of housing types available to West Jordan’s residents is an important goal of this General Plan and should be carefully considered as part of any new development proposal.
Housing availability and affordability has become a significant issue in recent years, not only in West Jordan but throughout the state of Utah. Prices and the number of new homes being built dropped for the first couple of years of the past decade but have steadily increased ever since. To understand and counter these trends, the City has created and adopted a Moderate Income Housing Plan, which “ensure(s) that the City of West Jordan provides a reasonable opportunity to provide for a variety housing, including moderate income housing, to meet the needs of the population desiring to live in the City. 1 ”
The Moderate Income Housing Plan is featured in Chapter 8. The Moderate Income Housing Plan is updated regularly and provides current data and specific details concerning housing affordability. In response, the City of West Jordan has implemented strategies over the past decade, which include the creation of the Interchange Overlay Zone and the Residential Overlay District.
The Interchange Overlay Zone allows for high- density residential/mixed use development near the Mountain View Corridor interchanges, while the Residential Overlay District accommodates high-density residential/mixed use development within certain large and underutilized commercial zoning districts. The City has also adopted regulations governing accessory dwelling units to increase housing options in the City.
Moreover, responsible use of the region’s natural resources and minimizing infrastructure needs and maintenance are supported by the goals and polices of this General Plan. As such, water and energy efficient housing, both in new construction and renovation projects should be encouraged.
