(STAFF - STEVE PASTORIK AT 801-963-3545) Discussion: Steve Pastorik said there is a provision in our City Code relating to rezones saying that if a property is under 2 acres, a rezone application may be made for an R-1-7, 8, 10, or 12 (Residential Single Family) zone. Anything over 2 acres may apply for the RE (Residential Estate) zone only. The applicant proposes to amend this provision so that properties between 2-4 acres may be rezoned to include R-1-4 or 6 if the property borders higher density on 1 or 2 sides, has either a shallow sewer access (less than 9’ in depth) or is in an area with Planning Commission Study Session October 4, 2017 Page 2 a high water table. Steve Pastorik said the applicant recently acquired some property in the Chesterfield area over 2 acres and expressed the desire to rezone the property to something other than RE. During a City Council study session, Steve Pastorik asked the City Council if they have any desire to change the code. The City Council was not interested in changing the code; however, the applicant still wishes to pursue the zone change application.

There is no dedication for a sidewalk on the new road. The 10’ setback will be measured from the right of way, not the sidewalk in both cases.
