Junction Commons Redevelopment Clears Planning Commission, Heads to Summit County Council

The Snyderville Basin Planning Commission voted 6–1 on Feb. 24 to forward a favorable recommendation for the Junction Commons master planned development at 6699 N. Landmark Drive in Kimball Junction, advancing a proposal to redevelop the former Outlets Park City into a 19‑building mixed‑use neighborhood with 433 residential units, including 42 townhomes, retail and commercial infill, structured parking and a pedestrian-focused public plaza.

Filed as Project #24-087 by Elliott Workgroup on behalf of SRE Ontario LLC, the application identifies the site as Parcel FSE-1 and includes a master planned development request and a rezone for the property. County meeting materials attach a Junction Commons Master Planned Development staff report dated Nov. 25, 2025, and conceptual renderings credited to Elliott Workgroup that depict a pedestrian plaza and street-level commercial infill in the lower portion of the site.

Commissioners pressed the applicant on multiple fronts during review, asking for a broader traffic strategy and stronger integration of affordable housing into the master plan. The Planning Commission record shows questions were also raised about building height and parking counts during public hearings earlier in the review process. The applicant has told county staff it will provide bus pull-outs and transit amenities and will coordinate on pedestrian and bike connections as part of the redevelopment.

The application has been before the commission in multiple sessions. A CitizenPortal summary documents a lengthy public hearing on Sept. 23 that examined transit access, phased demolition and infill, and the inclusion of affordable housing. At a separate county meeting captured in the draft agenda materials, Amir Caus, AICP, Senior Planner, told the commission that an issue had developed and the applicant requested to be taken off that meeting’s agenda. The draft minutes list Commission Chair Tyann Mooney opening public comment at 6:02 p.m.; no one spoke and the chair closed comment at 6:04 p.m.

County staff and project team members named in the agenda and attendance materials include Peter Barnes, Community Development Director; Amir Caus, Senior Planner; and Steve Borup of DPRE for Park City Junction LLC. The Planning Commission’s 6–1 recommendation moves the Junction Commons file to the Summit County Council for a final hearing and vote; no Council hearing date is provided in the county materials.

With the major entitlements forwarded, the Summit County Council will now weigh the master plan’s traffic mitigation, affordable housing integration and other conditions identified by commissioners and staff. The project’s staff report and the applicant’s master plan packet dated Nov. 25, 2025, will be key documents for council review as Junction Commons proceeds toward its next decision point.
