Residents of the Lambton Farm Subdivision voiced strong opposition during a recent government meeting regarding a proposed zoning change from residential to commercial for three lots in their neighborhood. Vivian Wilson, a local resident, expressed concerns that such a change would not only disrupt the community's character but could also pave the way for further commercial development along Temple Drive, which is currently zoned residential.

Wilson recounted a history of community efforts to prevent similar zoning changes in the past, highlighting a previous city council meeting that saw overwhelming opposition from residents. At that time, the city council, led by former council member Leona Winger, decided against the proposal, with plans for the lots to be transformed into a city park instead. However, Wilson lamented that the property has since changed hands, raising fears that the community's vision for a park may be lost.

The meeting also included discussions on an amendment to the Daybreak Village 11 a subdivision, which involves adjusting lot lines for five properties to better accommodate existing homes. The applicant, Randy Smith of Fieldstone Homes, explained that construction errors had led to discrepancies in lot dimensions, necessitating the amendment. He assured the commission that all homeowners affected by the changes were informed and had signed off on the necessary documents.

The planning commission is expected to deliberate on these matters further, weighing the community's concerns against the proposed developments. The outcome of these discussions could significantly impact the future landscape of the Lambton Farm Subdivision and the broader South Jordan area.
