Hearing on 22 townhomes and rezone at 1990 and 2002 South 500 East
Continued · 7-0
The Council held a hearing on rezoning two properties in Liberty Wells from R-1/5000 to RMF-35 and changing the future land use map from low to medium density residential to allow 22 for-sale, four-bedroom townhomes with a playground. The Planning Commission recommended approval with a development agreement and a water-wise landscaping condition. Ten speakers commented: several raised height, setbacks, privacy and natural light, traffic, parking and pedestrian safety; a Liberty Wells Community Council representative spoke against the rezone; a Board of Realtors representative questioned whether the homes would be attainable; and others asked about alternative zoning, lower heights and affordability. Council Member Erika Carlsen thanked residents, credited the developer for incorporating feedback, urged continued talks and said the motion was only to close the hearing. Action was referred to a future date.
