The City Council approved the master plan for a high density apartment development on the south west corner of Park and Clark Lanes.  The plan allows for up to 191 apartment units, restaurant, offices, and a credit union.  The site is less than 13 acres.  This puts the density of apartments in the range of 14-20 units per acre.

This plan was originally denied by the City Council back in August.  After a lawsuit, threats from the ACLU, and a limit of units to 191 the City Council approved the plan 3 votes to 2.

The Salt Lake Tribune as an article about it, "Farmington OKs development near FrontRunner station".

Since the approval was just for a master plan America West, the developer, won't actually be doing the building of the structures.  They will sell off the appropriate pieces to be built by apartment rental companies, credit union, restaurant, etc.  The actual look of the buildings will be determined by the folks who will own them.  Back in August America West indicated that the apartments could be 7 buildings of 24 units each.

Will West Farmington see more high density developments like this?  Time will tell as the City Council has just passed new zoning ordinances for the 240 acres around Station Park.  For those with access the Standard Examiner has an online article about the new zoning: "Zoning takes center stage in ?Farmington"
