• Summer Reading program and library statistics (public comment)

• Introduction of new Holladay Precinct Chief of Police, Tyler Ackerman

• Appeal by Ron Hilton of the Planning Commission's denial of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for property at 2394 East Murray Holladay Road

  • Role of the City Council as a quasi-judicial body in the appeal
  • Standard of review: whether the Planning Commission denial was supported by substantial evidence
  • History of the property: prior rezone request (R-1-10 to R-2-10), withdrawn antique shop/commercial use component, remaining appeal limited to an additional dwelling unit
  • Applicant's position: application contained sufficient detail; Building Permit with engineered plans already on file with the City
  • Staff's position: application lacked detail on key elements; Planning Commission offered applicant opportunity to withdraw and supplement, which was declined
  • Potential conflict between the additional dwelling unit and the existing PUD/CUP limitations on unit count
  • Applicant's stated goal: preserve Casper Cottage (historic property) by allowing an additional unit; without approval, lots would likely be combined and the historic structure demolished
