Please see proposed language below. The Planning Commission recommended approval. 6. Consider approval of an ordinance changing the General Plan map from COM (Commercial) to HDR (High Density Residential) on approximately 1.28 acres generally located southwest of the 900 South and 250 West intersection. BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: On May 5, 2020, the City Council approved a portion of the property located to the west as HDR (High Density Residential) and OS (Open Space). Further, on November 9, 2020, The City Council amended approximately 1.7 acres in the same vicinity from COM (Commercial) to HDR. The property has now changed hands and the new developer would like to add one more piece to the future site. Therefore, the applicant is now requesting to extend the approved HDR for these 1.28 acres. This would increase the HDR to a little over nine acres. The name of the application is The Cove General Plan Amendment. The Planning Commission recommended approval. 7.

BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: Historically, much of the subject property has been a gravel pit. In 2018, the applicant applied for a General Plan amendment on the subject property. That request was granted and changed the land use from low density to a mix of commercial, medium density and low density. In February of 2020, The City Council heard another request to change the general plan on the property to medium density and commercial and remove the low density residential. That request was also granted. The Planning Commission recommended approval with the condition outlined in the staff report. 8. Consider approval of an ordinance changing the zone from A-1 (Agriculture 40,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size) to RE-37.5 (Residential Estate 37,500 sq. ft. minimum lot size) on approximately 20.52 acres located at approximately 2450 South between 3430 East and Crimson Cliffs. BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: The underlying general plan for the project area is LDR (Low Density Residential 0-4 dwelling units per acre). Current zoning allows for agriculture and livestock uses.
