V             CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT- HOUSING DEVELOPMENT-CONCEPT ONLY

1463 E. 800 N. CEDAR HILLS DRIVE- H & M DEVELOPMENT, RICHARD HARTLEY, PARTNER

Terry Holloway and Richard Hartley presented a request for an affordable housing development project on 10 acres of property located at approximately 1463 E. 800 N.  The development would include town homes and single family dwellings.  The location would be both east and south of the old Swifts gas station on 800 North and directly behind the Jehovah Witness Church on Cedar Hills Drive. The project would work with meeting the needs of the community for affordable housing, creating more City streets that would combine subdivisions in the area. This request is only for concept review and all of the details necessary for such a project will be accomplished with the Preliminary and Final review. A zone change to the area may be necessary to accommodate the town homes.  Mr. Hartley is proposing energy efficient homes built to Energy Star qualifications. The homes will be built in phases and used as a model homes for building in other areas of Utah. This will not be a Planned Unit Development and all streets will be constructed to Price City minimum standards or better. H & M Development has already met with the City Engineer regarding public improvement, standards and developments required. The Commission would like to make sure that the homes are aesthetic to the surrounding area and that traffic on Cedar Hills Drive, 800 North and Sagewood Road does not become a congestion issue. MOTION. A favorable motion was made by Commissioner Lyon to approve the Conditional Use Permit Concept with the possibility for a zone change to accommodate the Multiple Residential units. Motion seconded by Commissioner Shook and carried.

                470 EAST MAIN STREET- DOLLAR GENERAL

This Conditional Use Permit is a clarification for the 2’ setback that needs to be set for the Dollar General building on 470 East Main Street. MOTION. A favorable motion was made by Commissioner Lyon to approve the Conditional Use Permit 2’ setback clarification for Dollar General. Motion seconded by Commissioner Sampinos and carried.

 

 

VII      OTHER BUSINESS

 

1.         Castle Valley Carwash representative, Steve Hilliam came to the meeting to clarify concerns regarding stormwater drainage that the Commission had at the last meeting. This information will be placed on the next agenda for consideration as the item is not on the agenda for this meeting.  Mr. Hilliam would like to add a valley gutter for drainage instead of a retaining wall. The Commission agrees with the gutter in place of a wall.  Staff recommends a letter of what they plan to do sent to the City Engineer for review and approval of capacities. A sound barrier needs to be addressed between the surrounding neighbor’s homes for the noise that comes from the laundry and carwash centers.  Mr. Hilliam agreed to install sound barriers as needed.

 

2.         Margaret Rinaldi would like to have a business in the white concrete building on Carbon Avenue located next to the railroad tracks at approximately 175 South Carbon Ave. The area is zoned MD and the business is not allowed in the zone. The Rinaldi’s would like to either change the zone or change the use in an MD zone to allow the business. The Commission would like to make the changes to the permitted uses in the zone rather than change the zone. The item will be on the next Planning and Zoning agenda for consideration.  

 

3.         Update- Commissioners were given a copy of the letter sent from the City Engineer to Roberta Hardy of the Pinnacle Academy School and a letter to Steve Manzanares for Castle Country Fencing.  

 

Commissioner Lyon motioned to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 6:52 p.m.
