Maxwell Square land use map amendment, 148 N. 100 East
Denied · 5-0
Request to change 0.93 acres from Residential High Density to General Commercial for 36 townhomes behind ground-floor commercial fronting 100 East, up to 55 feet tall. Engineer Cal Johnson cited 14-16 peak-hour trips; Taylor said turning onto 100 East already takes minutes; John wanted a traffic study; Holley and Carroll questioned height and the commercial-residential line at 150 North. Members suggested revisiting the CC-1 zone so narrow lots can redevelop.
- Acres: 0.93
- Proposed: 36 units, 55-foot building
- Engineer: Cal Johnson

Maxwell Square land use map amendment, 148 N. 100 East (0.93 acres)
Recommended for approval · 5-1
Change of one of three parcels from Residential High Density to General Commercial so all three can be zoned CC-1 for a mixed-use project; two parcels are already CC-1 and the third is R4-7500. The concept is a 55-foot building with 18 one-bedroom and 18 two-bedroom units over about 2,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial. City Engineer Ben Hunter said a UDOT pre-application meeting and a railroad diagnostic meeting (required within 1,000 feet of a crossing) had been held. Commissioner Geoff Dupaix voiced skepticism about the viability of ground-floor commercial in American Fork; applicant Bryant Bishop said a destination use such as a salon is likely and that an October retail proposal had to be redesigned after a January code change. Commissioner Claire Oldham, voting no, said mixed use would not work well on the site. A zone change would follow separately.
- Applicant: Bryant Bishop
- Acres: 0.93
- Land use: Residential High Density → General Commercial
- Zoning now: CC-1 (2 parcels), R4-7500 (1 parcel) → CC-1 to follow
- Concept: 36 apartments (18 1-BR, 18 2-BR), ~2,000 sq. ft. commercial, 55 ft tall
- Commissioner Dupaix said no widening of the road is planned for 30 years
