March 27 at Planning Commission  Appeal of Special Exception Decision at approximately 1724 E 2700 S –Amir Cornell, property owner, has filed an Appeal of the Findings and Order issued for Special Exception PLNPCM2015-01034. The Special Exception was meant to resolve height, use, and design issues associated with an existing garage that was not built to the approved plans. It was determined that the garage could remain if a permit is pulled and certain alterations are made. City ordinance allows up to 720 square feet of accessory structures on a property. The footprint of the shed and the garage exceeds 720 Square feet. The approved special exception required the removal of the smaller shed so that the total square footage of all accessory buildings on the property is 720 square feet or less. The appellant contends that he received approval from a City employee for both buildings although no records or approved plans support his claim.

Also on the Planning Commission agenda for March 9 is the Master Plan and Zoning Map Amendment at approximately 1964 S 900 E – A request by Cottonwood Residential to amend the master plan and zoning map designation of eight properties near the intersection of Ramona Avenue and 900 E. The intent of the proposal is to consolidate the parcels into one and then construct a multi-family residential development. The applicant proposes to rezone the subject properties from RMF-35 (Moderate Density Multi-family Residential) to R-MU-45 (Residential/Mixed Use) to allow for structures up to 45’ tall and allow more apartments. The subject properties are currently residential uses ranging from a single family home to multi-family buildings. The Planning Commission may consider other zoning designations that are equal or less intense to what is being proposed

The project 2855 Highland Drive, where we recommended that the parcel behind on Crandal Avenue be rezoned to CB Is now known as 1315 E Crandall Avenue.  The project is called Sugar House Townhomes.  The property was rezoned to CB, and they are going to build 41 townhomes on the parcel.  The City Council put some conditions on the rezone, he has to double the amount of trees along the perimeter abutting the other parcels from one every 30′ to one every 15 feet, and they have to be 2″ caliper trees.  They have been working with the city for about three months and  hope to have a shovel in the ground by April 1.
