Every hearing and vote

1. February 11, 2020 · City Council

   Pine Springs general plan amendment, 3.09 acres, low to high density (Ordinance #10-2020)

   Approved with conditions · 4-1

   Applicant Dan Ford, representing the property owners, said high density would be a good buffer and described it as workforce housing, not affordable housing. Koivisto said high density can work but not here given surrounding zones. A neighbor to the south asked for a privacy fence, a relocated access road and consideration of a sidewalk's effect on her property. The owners' family said they sought commercial zoning earlier, which was not recommended, and agreed with the Planning Commission that higher density makes a buffer. Neighbors to the east supported the change and hoped their land could later be considered for higher density. Ford agreed to a privacy fence but did not want approval tied to road placement. City Attorney Ryan Wood suggested tying a developer's agreement to the zone change. Council Members Hancock and Mike Southwick said it transitions from commercial and is near freeway access.

   • Acres: 3.09
   • Low Density Residential → High Density Residential

   Moved by Council Member Chris Condie, seconded by Council Member Paige Albrecht. Vote: 4-1; Council Member Katie Koivisto voted no

   Pine Springs zone change, 3.1 acres, TH-5 to R-3 (Ordinance #18-2020)

   Approved with conditions · 4-1

   The council approved the rezone following February's general plan amendment. Dan Ford represented the applicant.

4. July 14, 2020 · City Council

   Pine Springs concept plan, 225 South 600 East

   Approved with conditions · 5-0

   The council approved the concept plan for a 37-unit residential development. Dan Ford represented the applicant. Members discussed adding parking inside the development; Community Development Director Struthers noted public street parking does not count toward required stalls but can still be considered. The motion recommends the applicant add parking and, at Council Member Hancock's suggestion, asks to see how many street stalls would be available when the project returns for preliminary approval.

   • Units: 37
   • Condition: completion of all Development Review Committee and Planning Commission comments
   • Recommendation: more parking within the development

   Moved by Council Member Koivisto, seconded by Council Member Southwick. Vote: Unanimous, 5-0
