Yeomans & Morgan general plan amendment, about 5 acres at 143 S. 1100 West (Ordinance 10-2021)
Denied · 5-0
Applicant Adam Albrecht asked to change the land use from low and medium density residential to the intermediate-high density residential designation. The planning commission had recommended denial, and Community Development Director Kim Struthers said the request is for substantially more than staff had suggested. Council Member Chris Condie thanked the applicant for taking feedback but said the density jump was too dramatic for the area; Council Member Mike Southwick agreed it did not fit. Council Member Paul Hancock said both the existing plan and the council's direction to planners do not support it. Council Member Katie Koivisto said higher density does not necessarily mean affordable housing and that the request does not fit the general plan; Council Member Paige Albrecht said utilities could not support it. A neighboring property owner said the change would affect animal rights and bring traffic and no sidewalks. The council denied it, finding that utilities and the general plan do not conform and the change could harm surrounding properties.
