    Public hearing: rezone 2.9 acres at 1875 South Geneva Road from OS-5 to PRD and amend Farm Haven concept plan (Westerly Way)

    Approved · 6-0

    The council rezoned 2.9 acres from Open Space 5 to Planned Residential Development and folded the parcel into the Farm Haven concept plan to create 'Westerly Way,' a 40-unit single-story twin-home neighborhood with basements and two-car garages, about 2.7 parking spaces per unit. The applicants, who own the adjacent Autism Academy, had the item continued in May to resolve traffic; the new plan adds a public connection to Geneva Road that UDOT approved for full turn movements, and links to 850 West, 2000 South and Whitestone Estates. Applicant Craig Brady said the homes will be sold on the open market, though the neighborhood is designed to be autism-friendly. Three speakers, including one who recalled the Planning Commission's earlier denial over traffic, supported it. Members praised the applicant's revisions. Site plan and subdivision approvals still go to the Planning Commission.

    • Applicant: Craig Brady (owner of adjacent Autism Academy)
    • Acres: 2.9
    • Current zone → proposed: OS-5 → PRD
    • Units: 40 single-story twin homes
