   Workshop: Merrill rezone, 8.11 acres at 1105 West 2200 South (Ordinance 20-07)

   Discussed

   Dan Larsen of Kartchner Land Management is the applicant, with Jed Merrill as authorized agent and owner. The Planning Commission recommended denial 4-2 on March 12; staff supports approval because the Mixed Use zone requires at least 4,500 square feet of commercial space. Council Member Simmonds raised concerns about effects on Firefly Park in Nibley and Vice Chair Jensen supported the rezone. Action was set for April 21.

2. April 21, 2020 · City Council

   Public hearing: rezone 8.11 acres at 1105 West 2200 South from Commercial to Mixed Use (Ordinance 20-07)

   Approved · 3-2

   The request, from owner Jed Merrill with Dan Larsen of Kartchner Land Management, would rezone 8.11 acres in the Woodruff Neighborhood from Commercial to Mixed Use with a required commercial component of at least 4,500 square feet. Staff recommended approval; the Planning Commission recommended denial 4-2 on March 12, and an earlier MR-20 rezone request was denied 4-1 on November 5, 2019. No one spoke at the hearing. The council adopted the ordinance 3-2, with Council Members Bradfield and Simmonds voting no. The minutes' staff report reference to '243 units per acre' appears to be an error; 243 is the total units at maximum density.

   • Applicant: Jed Merrill (owner); Dan Larsen, Kartchner Land Management
   • Acres: 8.11
   • Current zone → proposed: Commercial (COM) → Mixed Use (MU)
   • Planning Commission: recommended denial 4-2; staff: approval

   Moved by Council Member Tom Jensen, seconded by Council Member Mark Anderson. Vote: 3-2; Council Members Jess Bradfield and Jeannie Simmonds voted no
