3. Consider approval of a request for a PD Amendment to the Desert Color PD-R to develop plat 'C' of Sage Haven (more particularly known as Sage Haven Phases 14-17) in the Desert Color development.

The applicant is Desert Color St. George, LLC and the representative is Bob Hermandson. Case No. 2024-PDA-016 - PUBLIC HEARING.
BACKGROUND AND RECOMMENDATION: In 2021, Sage Haven was approved, and construction has since commenced construction. Desert Color is seeking approval for the next two phases of Sage Haven. Sage Haven phases 14 & 15 (the subject property) were originally approved in 2022 for a total of 110 units (50 single-family and 60 townhomes). The development went dormant, and the approvals lapsed. The applicant is proposing to amend what was previously approved and fill in a portion that was set aside for a future phase (thus the increase in units)(Staff - Dan Boles).

BACKGROUND AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The subject property is currently zoned PD-R - TNZ (NG & NE) (Planned Development Residential, Traditional Neighborhood Zone - Neighborhood General & Neighborhood Edge).

BACKGROUND AND RECOMMENDATIONS: This is a request to obtain a hillside permit for the property located at 1856 E. Joe Cir (Lot 44, Foremaster Ridge).

The plat identifies this ridge line as having a 30' ridge line setback area and states, 'No structures, walls, or solid fences are allowed within the 30' foot ridge line setback area.' (Staff - Dan Boles).
6. Consider approval of a request to amend a portion of the city building ordinance, Title 9-1-1, to amend the code to adopt the most recent version of the construction codes adopted by the state of Utah including appendices and amendments.
