Description/Agenda

Commissioner Sommerkorn stated that he also did not have a problem with the lot sizes or zoning, noting that the proposal remained a single-family residential development, which aligns with the General Plan. He said the project could be done in this location. However, he expressed interest in potentially tabling the application to apply pressure toward resolving the 550/Angel Street connection, which he viewed as an important long-term circulation improvement. He also noted that, since the project was being processed as a Planned Residential Unit Development (PRUD), he would like to see additional community benefits, such as increased open space, included as a trade-off for the flexibility provided by the overlay. Finally, he expressed concern about the use of private streets, explaining that in his experience they often become long-term maintenance problems for neighborhoods and frequently lead to residents later asking the city to assume responsibility for them. Chair Packer asked the applicant to clarify whether the use of private streets was driven primarily by size constraints or by another purpose. Mr. Loveland responded that the private streets were partly intended to differentiate between the two product types in the development, with one portion designed to be elevated relative to the other. He stated that private streets were also part of the prior development plans for the property and that Symphony had become accustomed to incorporating them as part of the overall project concept. Commissioner Birkenshaw offered to restate his concerns and requested confirmation that the applicant had captured his detailed feedback. Mr. Loveland confirmed that he had taken detailed notes and understood the concerns that had been expressed. Chair Packer then stated that the Commission generally understood where each member stood on the proposal and asked the Commission what direction it wanted to take next, given the range of views expressed. Following extended discussion among the Planning Commission regarding the proposed rezone and development, Commissioner Sommerkorn stated that based on the concerns raised-particularly regarding traffic circulation, access, connectivity, open space, and unresolved infrastructure issues-he believed additional work and clarification were needed before the Commission could forward a recommendation to the City Council. He indicated that the discussion had provided meaningful direction to the applicant and staff regarding areas requiring further refinement. Commissioner Sommerkorn then made a formal motion to table the rezone request currently before the Commission, to allow time for additional information, revisions, and alternative approaches to be developed and considered. Commissioner Toller seconded the motion, and the vote was unanimous in favor of the motion (7-0). Commissioner Packer: Yay Commissioner Birkenshaw: Yay Commissioner Young: Yay Commissioner Sommerkorn: Yay Commissioner Toller: Yay Commissioner Moore: Yay Commissioner Sevy: Yay Following the motion to table, Chair Packer stated that the agenda item was now tabled and asked how the Commission should proceed regarding when the matter would be put on another meeting agenda. He questioned whether the item would automatically be placed on a future agenda or whether it would come back to Planning Commission once additional information was available. Commissioner Sommerkorn indicated that the item should be brought back when there was more clarity and progress on the outstanding issues. Ms. Greenwood explained that staff would work to coordinate discussions with the Sewer District and with the applicant to attempt to resolve the connectivity and access issues, particularly related to the proposed Angel Street and 550 West connection. She noted that the Sewer District meets only once per month, which could slow the timeline. Because of this, she did not anticipate the item returning at the next meeting and stated that it might not be ready even for the following meeting. She encouraged members of the public to sign up for City agenda notifications using the QR code provided so they would be alerted when the item was scheduled again. Mr. Loveland stated that Symphony Homes would be prepared to return in approximately two meetings and expressed a desire to establish a general timeline so that both the applicant and the community would know when the item was expected to come back. He also noted that the Sewer District's position on selling right-of-way property was a key variable, since if the Sewer District declined to sell, the Commission would still be faced with similar access issues. Commissioner Sommerkorn commented that he hoped pressure could be applied to the Sewer District to help move the issue forward. Chair Packer clarified that the application would not appear on the next January agenda and likely would not appear at the first meeting in February, but that the same application would return once it was ready. He also noted that since a public hearing had already been held, it would not typically be reopened when the item returned. 4- APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES FROM DECEMBER 11, 2025 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Commissioner Sevy made a motion to approve the minutes from the December 11, 2026 Planning Commission meeting. Commissioner Young seconded the motion, and the vote was unanimous in favor of the motion (7-0). Commissioner Packer: Yay Commissioner Birkenshaw: Yay Commissioner Young: Yay Commissioner Sommerkorn: Yay Commissioner Toller: Yay Commissioner Moore: Yay Commissioner Sevy: Yay 5- OTHER MATTERS THAT PROPERLY COME BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION Ms. Greenwood encouraged Commissioners to participate in the upcoming Kaysville University training program, which is intended to help elected and appointed officials better understand city operations and departments. She noted that Commissioner Young had already expressed interest and emphasized that even attending a few sessions would be beneficial. She compared the program to a similar one she had completed while working in Chandler, Arizona, which helped her gain a deeper understanding of municipal departments such as police, planning, and public works. Ms. Greenwood stated she would resend the information and confirmed that the program would be held on Wednesday evenings. There was discussion among Commissioners regarding the start date, with clarification that the program would begin on January 21. Chair Packer confirmed that a flyer was available with the correct date. Toller, Moore, and Sevy indicated interest in attending, and Ms. Greenwood stated she would notify City Manager. Ms. Greenwood also advised the Commission that amendments to the Planning Commission bylaws may be forthcoming. She explained that the City Council is currently addressing an issue involving individuals circulating clipboards at public meetings, which has caused confusion among residents who may believe they are providing information directly to the City when they are not. She said similar provisions may be added to the Planning Commission bylaws to prevent misleading practices and protect the public from unintentionally sharing personal information. Ms. Greenwood informed the Commission that staff has been working on rezoning several City-owned properties, particularly parks that are currently zoned residential, to a Public Use zoning designation. She explained that this change would not alter how the properties function but would align the zoning with their actual public use and provide more accurate zoning statistics for the City. Staff intends to bring these rezonings forward at a future meeting when the agenda is lighter, noting that little public comment is expected because no functional changes would occur. Commissioner Toller thanked staff for intervening earlier in the meeting regarding the yielding of public comment time, noting that the City Council bylaws prohibit speakers from transferring their allotted time to others. City Attorney Katie Ellis confirmed that the City Council's rules prohibit yielding time and explained that, while Robert's Rules of Order may be referenced, the Commission is not required to follow them, and the Chair has authority over procedural matters. 9- ADJOURNMENT Chair Packer adjourned the meeting at 9:58 pm.
