HolladayDigest

Zone Map Amendment background

History of zoning in the subject area, including changes when the City of Holladay was incorporated in 2000 (transition from Salt Lake County R-2-10 zoning to R-1-10).

Non-conforming duplexes on 6060 South

Existence of legal non-conforming duplexes resulting from historical zoning changes.

Slip lane / bypass lane on Highland Drive

Access implications for the three Highland Drive parcels; the applicant's proposal to eliminate driveway access from the slip lane; City Engineer support for closing the slip lane contingent on access reconfiguration.

Future Highland Drive reconstruction

Anticipated City reconfiguration of Highland Drive around 2030; potential UDOT coordination on intersection realignment (Commissioner Cunningham inquiry; not yet finalized).

Right-of-way width of 6060 South

Current 37-foot width; potential widening requirements at time of development per City Engineer discretion.

Fire access and turnaround requirements

Existing fire turnaround added with prior development; additional fire requirements possible with new dwelling units.

Density and R-M Zone allowances

Maximum density permitted under the R-M Zone (up to 19–20 units on 1.24 acres); clarification that a Planned Unit Development (PUD) cannot increase density or height beyond what the zone allows.

Moderate-income housing considerations

Whether proposed townhomes would qualify; role of unit size, number of bedrooms, and Area Median Income (AMI); Ann Frances Garcia (Economic Development and Housing Manager) noted as a resource for additional detail during the Regular Meeting.

General Plan conformance

Relevant General Plan sections cited in the Staff Report; State requirements regarding moderate-income housing; Planning Commission's role limited to evaluating conformance with the General Plan and making a recommendation to City Council.

Transitional zoning rationale

R-M Zone presented as a transitional buffer between lower-intensity R-2 zoning and higher-intensity HCR (Holladay Crossroads) Zone.

Conceptual Site Plan

Applicant submitted a conceptual plan showing a line of townhomes approximately 1,600 square feet per unit; no full Site Plan submitted at this stage.

Opening Statement

read aloud by Commissioner Cunningham at the start of the Regular Meeting.

Discuss Highland Drive / UDOT intersection realignment status with the City Engineer

Provide additional information on moderate-income housing qualifications (AMI, unit size, bedroom count) during the Regular Meeting

Determine right-of-way widening requirements for 6060 South at time of development

Determine additional fire access/turnaround requirements upon submission of actual development application

City Council to make final decision on closure of the Highland Drive slip lane

Work Session

Held prior to the Regular Meeting; opened at 5:38 p.m. and closed at 6:08 p.m., followed by a short break before the Regular Meeting convened at approximately 6:10 p.m.

City Attorney clarification on Planning Commission role (Commissioner Prince's request)

Brad Christopherson stated that under State Code, the Planning Commission's role in a rezone is to conduct a public hearing, receive feedback, evaluate conformance with the General Plan, and make a positive or negative recommendation to City Council — it does not make the final land use decision.

Moderate-income housing note

City Attorney Christopherson indicated the rezone request likely does not qualify as moderate-income housing but could still meet the General Plan goal of providing multiple housing types.

Non-conforming structures context

Commissioner Berndt expressed concern about approving higher density without knowing the specific site layout and its neighborhood impact; he stated he would be more inclined to support higher density with a full Site Plan.
