Vision 14 Blueprint Jordan River Vision & Goals
• Conserve and rehabilitate natural river features and functions where possible • Expand and restore wetlands and habitats • Manage stormwater in the river and tributaries to improve water quality • Preserve and improve buffers between the River and the built environment • Integrate complementary development design standards into the River corridor • Remove physical barriers to boating with alternatives that allow for flood control, water quality, recreation, and habitat improvements • Encourage active transportation with a regional trail that connect communities to each other and to the Parkway Organization of Jordan River Commission
Created by Interlocal Cooperation Agreement August 2010 Interlocal Agreement Partner Agencies • 17 Cities • 2 Counties • Governor’s Office Appointee • Legislative Appointee • 2 State Agencies (DEQ & DNR) • 6 Special Districts (Water & Sewer Districts; UTA) 14 Ex-Officio Governing Board Appointees • Nonprofit Partners • Corporate & Business Partners, including land managers • Stakeholders & Community Members • 4 Open Seats Currently Available Best Practices Guidebook | 2013

• Address better ways to build within the river corridor – low impact riverfront development • Enhance open space habitats – preserve remaining natural open spaces and develop appropriate buffers and transitions with more urban areas • Provide for compatible recreation opportunities – promote passive recreation in more natural environments • Improve stormwater practices – address stormwater systems and impervious runoff, which is one of the most significant impacts on water quality Comprehensive Management Plan | 2017

• Create the first comprehensive management plan for Jordan River sovereign lands (i.e., the planning area). • Ensure that sovereign lands management remains consistent with Public Trust obligations. • Incorporate principles of multiple-use while conserving natural and cultural resources. • Integrate existing information, data, and scientific research that have been developed on the Jordan River into clear and consistent management practices. • Coordinate with Utah Department of Natural Resource (DNR) divisions, Utah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) divisions, and other government entities regarding management, permitting, maintenance, planning, and research on the Jordan River.
