The TOD zone was created by the city several years ago, but last January, Farmington decided to re-examine what it wanted in a mixed use of housing, retail and office space. Defining that mix has caused tension between the city and a developer.

America West owns about 140 acres west of Interstate 15 along Park Lane. Last week, the city denied a request to develop 12 acres into an apartment complex with 220 to 300 units, a credit union and an office building with restaurants on the lower level.

Council members said the development had more residential density than the zone allowed; in the past they and the Planning Commission have raised concerns about whether the development would create the walkable community the city wants.

The City Council meeting begins at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 130 N. Main St.
