Show a public hearing on September 19, 2006, to consider reverting back the land owned by Frank Blair to A-1 zoning designation. Mr. Blair sought and received approval from the city for the property in question to go back to the original 1990 plan and zoning that was passed by Weber County, the governing body of that time. A plan submitted subsequently did not meet the 1990 agreement and was turned down. Nothing else has been presented and passed about the property since then and the city proposes returning to the original agricultural zoning. The matter is still under negotiation. The commission discussed building material requirements for the Mill Creek Meadows subdivision. They approved allowing vinyl siding for the backs of the subdivision homes, in addition to the brick and stone materials previously approved. At the June 20, 2006, Planning Commission meeting, the site for the community park behind the city office building, and IFA's final site plan were approved, subject to the finishing of IFA's sewer plan. A public hearing was set for July 18 concerning a zoning change requested by Maverick, Inc., at 2036 West Pioneer Road. Permission to move a stream was also requested. This requires both the state and the Environment Protection Agency approval in order to move the stream, before the city can act on their part. The request calls for the rezoning of about 3 acres, zoned A-1, located at 2036 West Pioneer Road, on the northwest corner of 400 North 2000 West (SR 126) to C-2P (community commercial.) The company wants to construct a service station/convenience store and has submitted a rough conceptual plan for about 4800 sq. ft. The general plan states this area may be future commercial only 300' from the west edge of the public right-of-way on SR 126, and 75" outside the centerline of Four Mile Creek, in order to protect the stream corridor. At the July City Council meeting, Mr. Morris said the proposal conforms to the general plan as long as it does not exceed these restrictions. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the ordinance subject to conformance with the general plan; the rezone of the stream corridor to 0-1, open stream corridor along Four Mile Creek; approval of the stream alteration permit by the state; appropriate landscape and screening as a buffer to surrounding zones; UDOT approval of access to the site, and the developer entering development agreement subject to staff and agency comments. If not developed, the zone would convert back to the original zoning. The vote to adopt the ordinance passed. An application by Justin Tobias proposed one acre on the south end of 2.83 acres at approximately 250 North 200 West (SR 126) be rezoned from A-1 to C2-P and was approved on July 18, 2006. He wanted to build professional offices, including a dental office. He lives in the city and would like to keep his business here. The entrance to the dental office would be from 250 North, not off the highway. He showed two rough conceptual plans. After the public hearing, changes on zoning requests by Justin Tobias and Maverik, Inc., were approved unanimously by the Planning Commission, and sent to the City Council. City Administrator Bill Morris recommended approval of an ordinance to adopt the Tobias concept plan and rezone the entire 2.83 acre parcel to C2-P, subject to compliance with the general plan, appropriate landscape and screening as a buffer to surrounding zones, UDOT approval of access to the site, and developer entering development agreement subject to staff and agency comments. After Mr. Tobias develops his commercial property, the remainder of the property not developed by Mr. Tobias, would remain in the new zoning. If it wasn't developed within one year, it would revert back to the previous zoning. The rezoning was approved at the July council meeting. Mr. Morris met with representatives of the First Methodist Church who plan on constructing a building in the city. He advised them of the necessary set back and the paperwork needed to start building. The First United Methodist Church held a fundraiser in October to finance the new facility. It was a successful event, with about 100 people attending, and raising over $10,000. A highlight of the evening was auctioneer Lance Quinn's spontaneous demonstration of a Fender guitar. He broke into a version of The Auctioneer Song, to the delight of the audience. They hope to break ground in the spring of 2007. Ordinance 2006-05, which relates to amendments to the zoning ordinance, consolidating or repealing certain chapters to more accurately fit the community, was passed unanimously by the Planning Commission after a public hearing was held on August 15, 2006. One change would prohibit industrial traffic through a |
