There is a lot going on in the city of Cottonwood Heights.
A developer wants to build a tall building, nearby neighbors don’t want it.
The city planning commission is under fire for the process. Apparently there were some mistakes made, but the Cottonwood Heights Planning Commission backed up and corrected it.
There is the issue of the Canyons School District Bond Vote on June 22 2010. The city of Cottonwood Heights is one of five cities that make up the Canyons School District. The Canyons School Board is recommending $250,000,000 Bond to take care of the immediate problems.
Tall buildings pay a pretty good chunk of cash for property tax without adding children to the school district, that seems like it makes sense.
So the hot seat is on the Cottonwood Heights City Council. We have schools that are old that need replacing and/or major renovations. Both for modernization and seismic safety.
So if the Cottonwood Heights City Council approves the tall buildings proposal and rezoning of three areas, the kids win BUT they tick off an affluent neighborhood.
