(action) – Will Wade Applicant Presentation – Will Wade – 2141 E Parleys Terrace, Salt Lake City – Also, Bill Eckersell is the owner of record; he is in attendance. Will is requesting a zone change from Light Industrial to High-Density Residential 1 for the property at 165 and 191 N 1st W. The property currently accomodates a small cabin and barn used for storage. The intended use is a multi-family development project. To the west there is Light Industrial and Mixed-Use on 2nd W. To the immediate east is High-Density Residential 1 (HDR1) and High-Density Residential 2 (HDR2) with some Mixed-Use parcels in the vicinity. Brent McFarland is the architect the applicant is working with on building plans. The parcel is serviced by city water and sewer. The parcels have frontage on N 1st W. Commissioner Questions: Kristi Anderson confirmed both parcels are part of the application. As a courtesy, Will Wade reached out to neighbors to the south and to the north of Bill’s parcel. Will talked to the people south of this parcel and they plan to request HDR1 or HDR2, but they were not ready to do so at this time. Chairman Rory Kunz thanked the applicant for communicating with his neighbors. David Pulsipher confirmed both parcels with this application are both currently zoned as Light Industrial. Aaron Richards joined the meeting. Roll Call. Present: Chairman Rory Kunz, Vince Haley, Kristi Anderson, David Pulsipher, Todd Marx, Randall Kempton, Sally Smith, Aaron Richards, Jim Lawrence. Absent: Greg Blacker, John Bowen. Staff Report: Planning & Zoning – Stephen Zollinger – The request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The property to the west, the old Arnold Printing, was contacted and chose not to participate in the application. From the staff perspective, the infrastructure is adequate at this location to accommodate any use proposed to meet the zone requirements. The proposal is consistent with the traffic demands of this area. Staff does not have any issues with the Commission considering this proposal. Commissioner Questions for Staff: None Conflict of Interest? - Chairman Rory Kunz asked the Commissioners if they have a conflict of interest or if they have been approached by any parties relative to this particular subject. If you believe your prior contact with respect to this subject has created a bias, you should recuse yourself, otherwise at this time please indicate the nature of your conversation or contact. None. Chairman Rory Kunz reviewed the public hearing procedures. Favor: Bill Eckersell – 125 E 2nd N – He feels development on this site would be a benefit to the city by bringing in additional taxable income. Neutral: None Opposed: None Written Correspondence: None Rebuttal: None Chairman Rory Kunz asked if anyone else would like to speak. He closed the public input portion of the hearing at 6:43p.m. Commissioners Discussion: Vince Haley says this area is currently Light Industrial. He was looking at the warehouse on the south side; the property was just purchased by a management company for more of a commercial use. He does not see any problems moving forward with this request. Sally Smith reminded the Commissioners to think of the future of Light Industrial. Chairman Rory Kunz said the Comprehensive Plan shows Moderate to High Residential, so he does not believe this will have a negative impact. Kristi Anderson requested people speak louder into the microphones. Sally knows there is a shortage of Light Industrial. The Commission needs to be mindful of these areas changing along the railroad tracks. She supports this change in this spot. Vince said the lot is small for a Light Industrial use. Aaron Richards apologized for coming late. Aaron is in agreement with the other Commissioners: based on the location, the rezone makes sense. Randall Kempton shares Sally’s concern about the location of Light Industrial. This does not seem like the location to ask the question for Industrial, because the Comprehensive Plan already identifies this area as residential. In general, we keep asking the question: Where is Light Industrial going to go? However, in each particular application, piece by piece, we are changing the light-industrial areas. MOTION: Motion to recommend to City Council to rezone 165 & 191 N 1st W from Light Industrial to High-Density Residential 1 (HDR1), because it meets the Commission's criteria and matches the patterns of the area., Action: Approve, Moved by Vince Haley, Seconded by Randall Kempton. Commission discusses the motion: None VOTE: Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote (summary: Yes = 9). Yes: Aaron Richards, Chairman Rory Kunz, David Pulsipher, Jim Lawrence, Kristi Anderson, Randall Kempton, Sally Smith, Todd Marx, Vince Haley.
