Planning Commission / City StaffNotesContinued as Discussion Items pending Conceptual Subdivision process
Notes
Agenda reordering
Chair Roach directed the Commission to consider the "Oly Vista" Subdivision Amendment (Item 2) ahead of other agenda items so the applicant would not have to wait; Items 2 and 3 were also to be discussed before Items 1A and 1B during the Work Session
LUDMA clarification
City Attorney Christopherson noted that the State Legislature eliminated public hearing requirements for subdivision modifications under the Land Use, Development, and Management Act (LUDMA) for cities, but Planning Commission approval remains required for subdivision plat amendments
Creek setback clarification
Undeveloped parcels require a 100-foot setback from Big Cottonwood Creek; already-developed parcels have a 50-foot setback requirement
PUD open space/amenity note
Unlike Holladay Village, there is no requirement for public amenities on private lands in this PUD context; City benefit may include open space or tree preservation
"Oly Vista" context
The 15-ft × 140.84-ft strip being added has a slope and existing drainage issues; the addition does not change what is currently permitted on the site; two dwellings are already allowable in the R-1-10 Zone without the extra land
