Development
River Crossing affordable townhomes
Discussed
Community Development Director Russ Holley said the project at 600 South 100 West is about 99.9 percent complete: eight three-bedroom townhomes of about 1,500 square feet built with partner Visionary Homes, sold in about a month to buyers meeting area-median-income limits at about $279,000 each against appraisals near $320,000. The city contributed about $40,000 per unit through land value and fee reductions. A five-year owner-occupancy deed restriction applies, after which owners may sell at market value; the council discussed longer-term or permanent affordability and supported using it as a pilot.
- Budget$40,000
Item 1 · Taxes and fees
Parks and Recreation fees, Resolution 26-24 (public hearing)
Approved · 4-0
The council added four baseline fees omitted from the earlier schedule, with no fees increased: a $10 four-hole golf loop fee at Logan River Golf Course, a Pioneer Day parade entry fee for business participants, a $75 per device inflatable amusement fee and an A-frame sign rental fee. No one spoke.
- Fee$10
- Fee$75
Item 2 · Zoning
Ellis Neighborhood rezone from NR-6 to MR-12, Ordinance 26-10 (public hearing)
Approved · 4-0
The council rezoned a 0.31-acre lot in the Ellis Neighborhood so the owners can remodel the home, keep an owner-occupied unit, add an accessory dwelling unit and convert the garage to a studio, three units in all. The Future Land Use Plan designates the area Mixed Use, and staff called MR-12 a reasonable transition. The Planning Commission recommended approval by a close vote. The applicant said either MR-12 or Mixed Use would be acceptable.
- Acres: 0.31
- Current zone → proposed: NR-6 → MR-12
Item 3 · Zoning
Old Mann Project rezone, 185 East Cache Valley Boulevard, Ordinance 26-11 (public hearing)
Approved · 4-0
The council rezoned 1.76 acres in the Adams Neighborhood from Commercial to Mixed Use, tied to a proposed bar for patrons 21 and older at the former Greek Streak location. Residential development is not required because the building is not being demolished. The Planning Commission recommended approval with conditional use conditions for landscaping, a buffer between parking and sidewalk and parking lot islands. Joshua Molitor supported it, citing nearby planned housing; a prospective owner described a limited-food venue with a transportation service. The applicant still needs conditional use approval and a state license.
- Applicant: Alliance Acquisitions LLC
- Acres: 1.76

Item 4 · Roads and utilities
Cache Council of Governments transportation funding applications (public hearing)
No action
Public Works Program Manager Sam Odd said the countywide 0.25 percent sales tax funds the program, with applications due in August and awards in November. The city is applying for two traffic signal projects, including a new signal near 1400 North and 1200 East. Protected left turns are not anticipated because they would require widening. Linda Johnson urged future turn-lane projects on 200 East; Anna Darley asked whether the signals would have protected or yield left turns. No council action was required.
Item W1 · Budget
Workshop: budget adjustments, Resolution 26-26
Discussed
Previewed $50,000 from UDOT for the 400 North and 600 West corridor, an $18,000 ICAC task force grant, $10,710 in bulletproof vest funds, $40,000 from Select Health for employee wellness replacing a Cigna grant, $2,500 in donations and $22,000 for Visage GPS software for golf carts, $143,210 in all. Golf pro Jeff John said the GPS covers about eight months of service this season and the golf fund will evaluate affordability. Action was set for August 4.
- Grant$50,000 to UDOT
- Grant$18,000 to State of Utah
- Grant$10,710 to U.S. Department of Justice
- Grant$40,000 to Select Health
- Grant$2,500
- Purchase$22,000 to Visage
Item W2 · Zoning
Workshop: rezone of a small Adams Neighborhood lot to TC-2, Ordinance 26-13
Discussed
The council previewed a second request to rezone 0.21 acres from NR-6 to Town Center Two to legalize a third unit in a detached garage, after the council denied a similar request in September 2025 pending the updated Future Land Use Plan. The Planning Commission recommended approval 4-1, the dissent citing redevelopment and canal setback concerns. Action was set for August 4.
Item W3 · City code
Workshop: wetland setbacks, Ordinance 26-14 (Chapter 17.24)
Discussed
Holley said the 2023 rules set a uniform 50-foot wetland setback. Proposed changes clarify when delineations are required, require approved delineations by qualified professionals, measure setbacks from the delineation line and replace the 20 percent disturbance allowance with a do-not-disturb buffer. The Planning Commission voted 5-1 to keep 50 feet for all private development, with reduced setbacks for some public infrastructure and recreation, an exemption for boardwalks and underground utilities and a reasonable-use exception. Council concerns included lower standards for public projects. Action was set for August 4.
