Taylorsville General Plan
In the 25-plus years since its incorporation in 1996, the City of Taylorsville has seen significant changes and will undoubtedly see many more changes in the coming decades. Despite the fact that the city is approaching 100% build out, Taylorsville continues to be part of a dynamic and rapidly growing metropolitan area. Growth alone will be a catalyst for change in all communities within the Salt Lake metropolitan area, but this region is further complicated by a series of geographic constraints including the Great Salt Lake, Utah Lake and the Wasatch and Oquirrh mountain ranges.
A comprehensive update to the city's General Plan was completed in the summer of 2025. This plan is primarily focused on development over the next 25-40 years and includes goals, objectives and broad strategies, as well as specific priority projects as detailed in each individual chapter, outlined below.
The plan, in its entirety, may be viewed by clicking the button at the top of the page. There, buttons also are linked to the plan addendums including Taylorsville's Active Communities Plan and the BRT Station Area Plans. The Active Communities Plan outlines ways the city is working to incorporate bicycle and pedestrian mobility into planning, while the BRT Station Area Plans detail developmental opportunities along the Taylorsville Expressway where the community's three BRT (bus rapid transit) stations, including Riverboat Road, Atherton West and 1300 West, are located.
