A plan to build housing to replace a drive-in theater and swap meet moves closer to reality

The West Valley City Planning Commission approves rezoning of the land under the Redwood Drive-In Theater and Swap Meet. The request now goes to the City Council.

West Valley City needs more housing, said Commissioner Cindy Wood, who was met with boos and yells. People in the meeting room yelled that they can’t afford those units. Wood urged the audience to be respectful, and noted that “the property owner has a right to sell” and that is “unfortunate for some people.”

Many at the June 12 meeting said they had sold goods at the swap meet for generations. Some said they rely on the swap meet for their sole source of income — and that it has been a place of gathering, and a community for vendors and the thousands who visit from near and far.some reading “Some people are so poor all they have is money” and “Protect POC businesses” — but remained focused until the decision was made. When the vote was announced, jeers, boos and yells filled the room.

Also at the June 12 meeting, EDGEHomes’ plan was presented. The plan calls for building 308 housing units on the property — a mix of town homes, condos and single-family homes. EDGEHomes’ founder and owner, Steve Maddox, said then that the housing would be aimed at “empty nesters” and “new families.”
