Planning commissioners review scaled-back general plan and code rewrite, debate wider side-yard setbacks

Development Services Director Patrick O'Brien told the American Fork Planning Commission that the city, after a crowded February hearing, had 'rewound' many proposed general plan, zoning and code changes and now mostly aims to match land use maps to what is already built. Commissioners debated a proposal to widen minimum side setbacks on residential lots from 18 to 22 feet combined, suggesting 8 and 12 feet instead, and supported allowing gyms and similar uses in the PI-1 industrial zone as conditional uses. Staff said the PO-1 professional office area along 300 North would be 'squared off.'
