Properties in designated wildland-urban interface along the western foothills must maintain 30-foot defensible space under IFC Chapter 49.
South Jordan's western edge abuts open space and the Oquirrh foothills, placing portions of the city in the wildland-urban interface (WUI). Per IFC Chapter 49 as adopted by Utah and SJMC Title 15 land use provisions, WUI-zoned properties must maintain Zone 1 (0-5 ft noncombustible), Zone 2 (5-30 ft lean/clean/green — thinned vegetation, mowed grass under 4 inches, pruned trees), and Zone 3 (30-100 ft fuel reduction). Roof and gutter debris must be cleared annually. Rock mulch is preferred within 5 feet of structures. Weeds on vacant lots are abated by the city with cost liens if owners fail to comply.
