Proposed zone change from A1.5 and RA to CG and VLDR at 1560 S 1100 W Andrade Christensen presented a proposed commercial project with some residential elements: ● The project is located at Lakeview Parkway and 1100 West. ● It follows the city's designation for a commercial area. ● The plan includes residential areas to keep them separated from commercial spaces. ● The zoning matches the subdivision across the street. ● Potential uses include credit unions, hotels, restaurants, and convenience stores. ● A traffic study has been conducted, but no specific users have been confirmed yet. Residents raised concerns about: ● The need for a traffic light at 1100 West and Lakeview Parkway. ● The impact on traffic in the area. ● The transition from agricultural to commercial zoning. ● The lack of specific plans for the commercial spaces. The developer explained that the zoning change is necessary to attract potential users and that they are following the city's zoning plan. Proposed zone change to apply PD Overlay to R1.8 at 130 S 2050 W Steve Turley presented a proposed zone change for the Lakeview Village project: ● The project is located on 2050 West, stretching from Center Street to about 280 South. ● It includes 60 condos and 10,000 square feet of commercial space in Lakeview Crossing North. ● The southern portion, Lakeview Village, proposes 18 clustered units (no ADUs allowed). ● The PD overlay allows for flexibility in design and access. ● The units are planned to be for sale, with prices around $450,000. ● The project includes over an acre and a half of open space. ● A development agreement will include restrictions on rentals for three years after sale. Residents asked questions about: ● The amount of open space and its accessibility to surrounding neighborhoods. ● Parking availability for both the residential and commercial areas. ● The possibility of including clauses to discourage buying homes solely for rental purposes. The developer clarified that the open space would be accessible to the public and managed by an HOA. They also stated that parking studies have been conducted and deemed sufficient. Proposed zone change from PF to AI at 814 S Lakeview Pkwy Mary Barnes, the planner for the project, presented the proposed zone change: ● The property is located in the backyard of the existing Kenny Seng construction property. ● The current zoning is A1.5 (agricultural) and PF (public facilities). ● The proposed rezoning is to AI (airport industrial) for the entire property. ● The plan includes building a new office to the north and a maintenance shop to the south. ● The majority of the existing site will remain unchanged. Residents asked about: ● The proximity to the airport runway. ● The type of maintenance work to be done (confirmed as for construction vehicles and diesel trucks). The planner said the project would need to follow FAA requirements due to its proximity to the airport. Proposed Ordinance Text Amendment for SDP4 zone at 3000 W 2000 N Tyler Horan presented the proposed text amendment for the Lakeview Fields project: ● The project is located on the north edge of Provo, near Orem and west of I-15. ● It's in the SDP4 zone, which is unique to this area. ● The plan is to build single-family detached homes. ● The developer is seeking to update a 19-year-old development agreement. ● Proposed changes include: ● Restricting rentals for three years after sale. ● Updating architectural offerings. ● Changing fence material from cedar to vinyl. ● Clarifying HOA responsibilities for common areas. ● Reducing lot widths from 80 feet to 50 feet. Residents asked questions about: ● The enforcement of owner-occupancy requirements.  ● The number of additional houses that could be built with the proposed changes. ● The potential increase in density compared to the original plan. The developer explained that the deed restrictions would be enforced through the development agreement and that the changes would likely result in about 10 more units than originally planned. Proposed zone change from A1.10 to AI at 3420 W Center St Aaron Ardmore, the planning staff, presented the proposed zone change: ● The property is located north of Center Street. ● The current zoning is agricultural. ● The proposed change is to airport industrial (AI) zone. ● The plan includes warehouses and flex industrial space. ● The project is still under staff review. Residents expressed concerns about: ● The proximity to the Provo River and potential environmental impacts. ● The transition from agricultural to industrial zoning. ● The need for more public input on the expansion of airport-related activities. Aaron explained that the development agreement would include provisions for park space and a pedestrian trail along the river. He also noted that the general plan allows for airport-related activities in this area. Proposed zone change from A1.5 to AI at 3185 W 550 S Joel Pilling, the developer, and Aaron Ardmore presented the proposed zone change: ● The property is adjacent to existing warehouses in the airport industrial zone. ● The plan is to extend the AI zone to provide additional warehouse spaces. ● This proposal aligns with the existing development in the area. Residents generally viewed this proposal favorably, as it was consistent with the surrounding development and did not represent a significant change in land use. Announcement of Neighborhood District 3 Chair, Vice Chairs, and Secretary ● Andrew Terry as chair. ● Hailey Glenn as vice chair. ● Brooke Barnes as secretary. Residents approved by consensus, with no opposition voiced.
