The Snyderville Basin Planning Commission convened on February 13, 2024, to discuss the final site plan and condominium plot application for the Elevation Condominiums, located on the Wait Parcel. This meeting followed extensive discussions and public hearings regarding the project, which spans 9.02 acres and is part of the Canyon Specially Planned Area.

The meeting began with a brief overview of the history of the parcel, highlighting previous developments and amendments that have shaped its current status. The Elevation Condominiums project has been under consideration since November 2022, with the planning commission previously voting to deny a related plat amendment due to access restrictions. However, an appeal by the applicant was upheld by the Summit County Council in November 2023, allowing the project to proceed with certain limitations.

Key points discussed included the restriction of the building's density to 25,000 square feet, which aligns with the council's decision. The proposed plan maintains a total of 25,054 square feet, ensuring that future owners cannot expand the units beyond this limit. The project is designed to include six condominium units intended for nightly rentals, adhering to hotel lodging definitions, which include centralized check-ins and utilities.

The commission also reviewed modifications made to the site plan, including the addition of a 50-foot landscape buffer and the removal of exterior parking to enhance the visual appeal and comply with design guidelines. The height restrictions for the buildings were confirmed, with a maximum of two stories adjacent to Red Pine Road and up to three stories on the backside.

The meeting concluded with staff recommendations for approval of the application, contingent upon compliance with the outlined conditions and findings. The planning commission's discussions emphasized the importance of integrating the new development with existing structures and maintaining the character of the surrounding area. Further steps will involve finalizing the details of the site plan and ensuring adherence to the Canyon's development agreement.
