  2. November 17, 2022 · City Council

    Work meeting: FCOZ lot and density amendment

    Discussed

    The hearing remains open to December 8; three parcels would be affected, and a full vote was deferred because not all members were present.

  3. November 3, 2022 · City Council

    Public hearing: Title 13.72.030 FCOZ lot and density standards

    Continued

    The request would remove the one-acre minimum lot size for new lots in the FCOZ so the underlying R-1-21 standard applies. The owners of a 1.97-acre parcel spoke. The Planning Commission denied the request 4-1. In the work meeting, staff said three or four parcels, mostly below Wasatch Boulevard, could be affected and notice was published but not mailed. Council Members Fotheringham and Gibbons leaned toward denial, citing the age of the overlay and the broad impact; Council Member Brewer was inclined to support, saying owners should be able to request changes; the mayor noted the effect on other properties. The hearing stayed open.

  4. August 11, 2022 · City Council

    Continued public hearing: remove the Foothills and Canyons Overlay Zone at 5560 South Wasatch Boulevard

    Discussed

    The applicant described about 1.97 acres to be split into two lots of about 0.71 and 1.2 acres, and requested a variance. An engineer presented survey data showing slopes of 30% or greater. No one commented and the hearing closed; a vote was scheduled for September 8. The Planning Commission had unanimously recommended denial, mainly because of lot size and the overlay exception.
