Pinnacles master development plan, rezone and general plan amendment (work session)
Discussed
Planning Manager Pete Kane and applicant representative Andy Flamm presented a request on about 161 acres north of Aviator Avenue and west of Brylee Farms, zoned Agriculture, to move much of the Employment Center acreage to residential and commercial zones. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval with conditions, including changing CC to CN, changing some RC to R3 and dedicating about an acre for a future freeway right-of-way. Council Member Colby Curtis said density had risen and multifamily was added contrary to earlier direction; Council Member Jared Gray objected to converting Employment Center acreage and wanted fewer units; Council Member Carolyn Love wanted fewer townhomes; Council Member Donna Burnham worried about later residential requests in the north; Council Member Melissa Clark urged consistency with the general plan. Flamm said the northern portion lacks road access and would stay Agriculture. No action was taken.
- Acres: about 161
- Proposed general plan: 65.02 acres Employment Center/Campus, 21.16 NR1, 31.7 NR2, 26.55 NR3, 16.63 Community Commercial
Item 15.A · Zoning
Scarlet Ridge Estates: transportation plan amendment and rezone
Approved with conditions · 5-0
The council rezoned the roughly 160-acre site with conditions: the north road changes from major arterial to collector on the transportation plan; approval depends on a master development agreement and the Feb. 24, 2021 plat; all one-acre and larger lots go to RD1; lots under an acre go to RD2 with the Equine Overlay. In the work session, Gray and Clark preferred RD1 for the large lots even though it cut the park fee-in-lieu by $108,750. No residents commented at the hearing; applicant Ryan Kent supported the Equine Overlay.
- Acres: about 160
Item 15.B · Development
Scarlet Ridge Estates: master development plan
Approved with conditions · 5-0

Item 15.C · Subdivision
Scarlet Ridge Estates: preliminary plat (Feb. 24, 2021)

Item 11 · Contract
Consent items: 2021 seal coat and Lone Tree Parkway signal
Approved · 5-0
On the consent agenda the council approved the 2021 spray-applied seal coat project with M&M Asphalt Services and installation of a traffic signal on Lone Tree Parkway with B Jackson, for which only one bid was received. The minutes give no dollar amounts. Staff said the seal coat contract would let the city draft a code change requiring developers to fund the first seal coat on new asphalt. The consent agenda also included a technical planning assistance agreement with UDOT, an Overland Trails Plat III-B bond release into warranty and a wastewater planning survey resolution.

City Administrator Paul Jerome said Airport Road bonding was being explored and first-phase funds were in the current budget.
Item 16 · City code
Council business: lot-size averages in RD2
Discussed
Gray asked for an amendment requiring lot-size averages in RD2 zones. Curtis supported it for RD2 but not RD1; Assistant City Administrator Steve Mumford said three members supported it so staff would draft it. Two members supported a separate RD1 discussion, which will return as a discussion item.
