Last summer, then-Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams vetoed zoning for the vast, high-density Olympia Hills development near Herriman — a day after hundreds of people protested that it would overwhelm already overcrowded schools, streets and water systems.
On Tuesday, the Salt Lake County Council approved a procedure to allow Olympia Hills developers to reapply. But it included a long list of revisions that it wants to see before any final authorization.
“We’re not saying we’re going to approve anything,” Councilman Michael Jensen said.
He added that McAdams’ first-ever zoning veto created legal uncertainty about whether or how Olympia Hills could revise and resubmit its proposal, and the council is now resolving that as the one-year anniversary of the veto approaches.
