Planning updates: Jeppson Auto, District at Town Center, Rush Creek, Deer Haven (work session)
Discussed
Senior Planner Tayler Jensen said the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the Jeppson Auto site plan, the District at Eagle Mountain Town Center rezone (with a CN buffer near The Landing), the Rush Creek general plan amendment and the Deer Haven general plan amendment. The Deer Haven rezone and preliminary plat each drew 3-2 recommendations, with dissent over connectivity after staff-recommended road connections were removed. The applicant wants to keep corridor land private under a conservation easement; Wendy Fisher of Utah Open Lands said easements are strong tools but preferred city ownership and offered to steward the land.

Deer Haven general plan amendment and preliminary plat
Approved with conditions · 5-0
The 40-acre parcel west of Cedar Pass Ranch and north of Lone Tree, formerly planned as 74 lots, now proposes 14 lots, the smallest 1.02 acres. Applicant Scot Hazard committed to a 15-foot trail access gap. Speakers at the hearing including Adam Clark of the Utah Valley Trails Alliance, Shane Hill of the Division of Wildlife Resources and Bettina Cameron of the Eagle Mountain Nature and Wildlife Alliance supported conservation protections; Tiffany Ulmer supported an easement over donation; Michael Izatt asked that land with slopes over 25 percent stay private. Written comments mostly supported the wildlife corridor and opposed a Cedar Pass Ranch connector road. The council approved the plat with a 50-foot right-of-way, unimpeded 15-foot trail access and council review of the conservation easement before final plat. It then approved the map amendment to Agricultural/Rural Density Two, leaving the eastern portion Agricultural, contingent on bringing back the easement; the minutes' motion does not mention the RD1 rezone the Planning Commission recommended 3-2.

Deed of conservation easement, Deer Haven
Tabled · 4-0
City Attorney Jeremy Cook and applicant Scot Hazard presented an easement covering nearly 18 of the 40 acres, a 330-foot wildlife corridor that includes a 50-foot wash dedication. Hazard estimated about $100,000 lost value per lot ($700,000 total). Council Member Carolyn Love preferred explicit language; Council Member Melissa Clark suggested a line-by-line review; Council Member Colby Curtis favored project-specific standards and thought a 20 percent hard surface cap too permissive; Council Member Donna Burnham raised pools, dogs and poisonous materials. The direction included prohibiting homes, accessory units and footing-based buildings, capping structures and hard surfaces at 20 percent, banning pools and hot tubs, restricting storage and fencing, and a four-dog limit proposed by Hazard. Bettina Cameron of the Eagle Mountain Nature and Wildlife Alliance asked that the terms apply only to Deer Haven and that the item be tabled; members agreed. The council tabled it with direction to revise the agreement.

Deed of conservation easement, Deer Haven
Approved with conditions · 4-1
Applicant Scot Hazard said he would meet the easement controls but opposed writing them all into the easement; he accepted four entries a year, adding 'other manmade objects' and keeping half the easement width unobstructed. Council Member Carolyn Love's motion added seven conditions: entry limited to four times a year; restricted amenities and a 50 percent width limit; construction banned March 15 to May 15 and Dec. 1 to Jan. 15, effective Jan. 1, 2023; a hillside section with a 50-foot setback from washes and no development on slopes over 25 percent; lighting limits (3,000 Kelvin, 850 lumens per fixture, recreational lighting no higher than 15 feet); and residential livestock limits on agricultural lots 109 and 110. Council Member Jared Gray opposed, saying agricultural zoning rights should apply and the fence standards would not retain livestock; Council Members Donna Burnham, Melissa Clark and Colby Curtis supported the residential limits. Bettina Cameron urged Deer Haven-only terms.
