• The west side of Provo is growing, and residents and City staff have collaborated over the last five years to establish design guidelines to direct future development. While in office, Councilor Harding requested that the Council adopt an intent statement that would (1) reaffirm their commitment to the Westside Development Policies (WDP) and Future Land Use map, (2) request assistance from the Planning Commission in drafting ordinances to accomplish WPD 3.a, (3) change the density of four units per acre from net to gross, and (4) clarify where WDP 3.a-d apply and give examples of desired development patterns. The Planning Commission has drafted a new intent statement that accomplishes these goals but focuses on a variety of lot and housing sizes rather than types.
