During the Snyderville Basin Planning Commission meeting on May 23, 2023, a significant discussion emerged regarding the proposed height and zoning changes for new developments in the area. A key point raised was the potential for four-story buildings, which some members argued would have less visual impact compared to previous plans, as these structures would be set further away from existing homes.

Commission members emphasized the importance of understanding the implications of rezoning, noting that once a property is rezoned, it allows for a wide range of uses that could be implemented with minimal oversight. One member expressed concern about the lack of control over future developments, highlighting the need for clarity and certainty in the planning process to ensure that the community's vision is preserved.

Additionally, the necessity of a roundabout to manage traffic flow for the anticipated large-scale development was underscored. The commission discussed the financial responsibilities associated with constructing the roundabout, recognizing that it is essential for accommodating the expected increase in traffic from the new developments.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the balancing act between encouraging development and maintaining community standards, with members advocating for careful consideration of zoning changes and infrastructure needs to support future growth in the Snyderville Basin.
