They were looking for record of the establishment of a Torrey Town commercial zone and there is no record of this in the minutes or records. They found that in 1996, Cathy Bagley was the chair of the Torrey P&Z Committee. In a meeting of the Town Council, Cathy reported the P&Z had created an ordinance that the entire town of Torrey is zoned as single family and residential and if there is anything outside of single family and residential, it has to be presented to the P&Z to request a Conditional Use Permit. The 1996 P&Z committee followed up with a public meeting where the topic was commercial zoning in Torrey. 74 surveys were distributed on zoning and 59 of them were returned. The results of the survey were reflected in the decision to use a Conditional Use Permit for commercial use in Torrey Town. The wording that is in the Torrey Town code book is essentially the same wording that came from the 1996 ordinance. The P&Z Agendas will be transparent. For CUP requests, the name of requesting official, name of establishment, and what the CUP is for and address of CUP request will be listed on P&Z agendas. Motion was made by Aaron that Mary contact town council members for approval to contact David Church, General Counsel for Utah League of Cities and Towns, regarding commercial zone vs. CUP for Torrey Town. Motion was 2nd by Tracy, unanimously approved. 6) The Town Council was asked to review the Torrey Town General Plan, the last plan was dated December 2013. In the past years' minutes that were read by the group today, there was no evidence that Torrey Town General Plan was adopted by the Town Council. The General Plan needs to be reviewed every five years. P&Z committee will read the Torrey Town General Plan, red pen it and go through page by page and identify all concerns. Plan for June, or earlier, for final recommendation to Torrey Town Council. Motion made by Don that all committee members should receive a copy of the General Plan. P&Z members will review and be ready to discuss during the March meeting. The goal is to present a final updated review to the town council by the June meeting. Motion was 2nd by Richard and unanimously approved. 7) Other: Discussion about the Torrey Revitalization Group. Marci Milligan is the driver of the three year project. Mary has a phone call scheduled with Marci and will report at the next meeting. Aaron suggested the town trim the trees that overhang North Center Street just before crossing Sand Creek bridge. Questions about the large billboard sign on Main Street just east of Boulder Mountain Realty office building. The sign is old, faded, and unkempt, this is not in accordance with the sign ordinance. Discussion about possible future approval of duplexes, quads, and multi-family housing in Torrey. This topic is addressed in the Torrey Town General Plan. 8) Next meeting: March 21 @ 6:30 p.m. at the Torrey Town Hall. 9) Motion made by Donita to adjourn, 2nd by Aaron. Unanimously approved.
