Roy Station Area Plan

AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Discussion
RECOMMENDATION:
Informational report for discussion
BACKGROUND:
In 2022, HB462 legislation mandated all cities with a fixed-guideway public transit station (rail or BRT) to develop and certify a Station Area Plan (SAP). Station Area Plans are intended to promote shared objectives of 1) increasing housing availability and affordability, 2) enhancing access to opportunities, 3) promoting sustainable environmental conditions, and 4) increasing transportation choices and connections. Supported by UTA, the associated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), Utah Department of Transporation, and other stakeholders, Station Area Plans are led by municipal staff to ensure general plans and zoning regulations will be updated for future Station Area Plan implementation. The Roy Station Area Plan was led by Roy City. This Station Area Plan has been formally adopted by Roy City.
State Statute and UTA Board of Trustees Policy 5.1 require that Station Area Plans are reviewed by UTA’s Local Advisory Council and adopted by its Board of Trustees prior to pursuing development of UTA-owned property.
DISCUSSION:
Roy City, in coordination with UTA and Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC), worked to develop the Station Area Plan for the Roy Station. The SAP focuses on the key themes of economy, mobility, maximization, civic space, and regional growth. It also calls for a mix of uses and housing types throughout the station area with particular intensity on UTA-controlled property.
These plans are presented for the Board for discussion prior to Local Advisory Council review on August 27, 2025.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board may direct staff to not present the Roy Station Area Plan to Local Advisory Council for review. Without Local Advisory Council review of the SAP and adoption by Board of Trustees, UTA may not pursue development of its properties within the Roy station area.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed Roy Station Area Plan will better position UTA and Roy City to coordinate redevelopment of the station area. This aligned coordination will promote future transit-oriented development in an efficient and fiscally responsible manner.
