• "The Woods Lot 3" PUD Amendment

  (6325 South 2710 East, R-1-43 Zone): Proposed modification to shift the approved building footprint/area from the north side to the south side of the existing structure on Lot 3, to accommodate a new garage and conversion of the existing garage into a residential apartment unit.

• "Royal Holladay Hills, Block A and C" Final Plan

  Review of landscaping and architectural plans for this development, following a prior Planning Commission request for these elements to return for approval. Staff confirmed the Landscaping Plan complies with ordinance.

• Access to Gated Properties

  Commissioner Prince raised the procedural question of how Commissioners should handle site visits to properties located behind locked gates. Jonathan Teerlink advised that Commissioners may contact the City Planner, who can obtain access codes from property owners.
