Holladay voters’ decision to shoot down the controversial development on the site of the old Cottonwood Mall will stand, the Utah Supreme Court has ruled.
After frustrations from residents, developers and city leaders that a ruling had not come before the November election, the Utah Supreme Court issued its opinion Wednesday afternoon affirming a 3rd District judge’s opinion that the voter referendum to block the development was valid.
“We agree with the district court that the city was exercising its legislative powers when it approved (the development),” Utah Supreme Court judges wrote in the opinion, determining it was “therefore referable” to a referendum.
