ERDA, Utah-The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has released plans for a new walk-able, sustainable high-quality residential committee to be built around the site of the Tooele Valley Temple at Erda.

This temple is to be located northwest of the intersection of Erda Way and S.R. 36.

The community surrounding the temple is being proposed by Salt Lake City-based Suburban Land Reserve Inc., a tax-paying real estate investment affiliate of the Church.

SLR has released new renderings and a site plan depicting what the community will look like.

It is anticipated that this development will enhance the vacant land around the temple.

The concept plan is still subject to approval by the Tooele County Commission.

It includes more than 32 acres of open space, parks and walking trails set among single-family homes to be built on a wide array of lot sizes.

There will also be an (55 and above) active adult community of attached homes.

If this concept plan is approved, SLR will engage leading local and regional home builders to construct the proposed community.

New sewer, water and other utilities infrastructure will be needed to improve this largely vacant land.

The proposed residential community makes these utilities economically and functionally viable.

The timeline for construction will follow local government’s approval of the concept and is contingent upon market demand.

A groundbreaking date for the temple has not been announced.

In hopes of procuring approval for the residential development, SLR is working closely with Tooele County elected officials, Tooele County planning staff and the Utah Department of Transportation to ensure the concept plan meets or exceeds all applicable land-use standards and regulations.
