Disposition of city property near 300 South 100 East (public hearing)
Discussed
City Attorney Craig Carlston described four city-owned parcels totaling about 0.99 acres near 300 South 100 East that would be conveyed to the Bear River Association of Governments for low-income senior and disabled housing, with a deed restriction requiring development within five years or the property reverts to the city. Affordable housing RDA funds were used to acquire the land, and the project must still go through rezoning. The disposition is an executive power and not a council vote. Gail Yost and Gideon Martin supported the project. Council Member Amy Anderson read a statement citing 6 percent of Logan seniors, 212 people, living in poverty. Mayor Daines stated the intent to proceed.
- Parcels: about 0.38, 0.16, 0.15 and 0.30 acres, about 0.99 acres total

Discussed
Planner Russ Holley presented Land Development Code changes allowing flag lots with one additional home behind an existing home or a duplex on multifamily lots with a 20-foot shared driveway, and capping middle-of-the-block infill at 6 single-family and 20 multifamily units on private access roads. The Planning Commission recommended approval 4-1 on August 14. Council Member Mark Anderson noted commercial projects are excluded.
