FILED BY MARCO DIAZ, REQUESTING A GENERAL PLAN CHANGE
FROM GENERAL COMMERCIAL TO MEDIUM DENSTIY

RESIDENTIAL (7 TO 12 UNITS/ACRE) AND A ZONE CHANGE FROM C-
2 (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) TO RM (MULTIPLE UNIT DWELLING
RESIDENTIAL) FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4612 WEST 3500
SOUTH
Mayor Bigelow informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular
Council Meeting scheduled July 27, 2021 in order for the City Council to hear and
consider public comments regarding application GPZ-12-2021, filed by Marco Diaz,
requesting a General Plan Change from General Commercial to Medium Denstiy
Residential (7 to 12 Units/Acre) and a Zone Change from C-2 (General Commercial)
to RM (Multiple Unit Dwelling Residential) for property located at 4612 West 3500
South.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
The applicant is proposing to develop the property into a 10-unit, 3-story
townhome development. Each unit would be 1,858 sq. ft. and include 3-
bedrooms. While the property is 1 acre in area, the south portion of the
property will need to be dedicated as it falls within the existing road
improvements along 3500 South. The resulting density after dedication
would be about 12 units/acre.
The zoning and General Plan designation on this property were changed
back in August of 2019. The previous zoning was R-1-8 (Single Unit
Dwelling Residential, minimum lot size 8,000 SF) and the previous General
Plan designation was Low Density Residential (3 to 4 units/acre). At the
time, the proposed land use was a dermatologist office. The dermatologist
that was going to build here is now moving to a new office building at 4133
W Pioneer Parkway.
While the subject property is eligible to be considered for RM zoning, the
City can still deny the zone change request. Since the Planning Commission
recommended denial, staff did not prepare a development agreement. At the
Council’s direction, staff will prepare a development agreement for
consideration.
Mayor Bigelow opened the Public Hearing.
Marco Diaz, the applicant, stated that the Planning Commission was concerned
about the small size of the proposed project. He provided a history on the proposal
and detailed modifications that have been made to hopefully receive an approval
for the project from the City Council.

Darrell Curtis stated that he is concerned about this project because many
townhomes become rentals. He stated that its important to maintain properties that
are owned. Mr. Curtis also expressed concern about parking because townhomes
often see an overabundance of that.
Jim Vesock stated that he was a former president of an HOA. He stated the number
one issue was leaving money for roads. He indicated that small communities like
this would have expensive HOA’s. He noted that parking is a constant issue in
these types of communities.
Mayor Bigelow closed the Public Hearing.
ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 21-48, AMEND THE GENERAL PLAN TO
SHOW A CHANGE OF LAND USE FROM GENERAL COMMERCIAL TO
MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (7 TO 12 UNITS/ACRE) FOR
