The Summit County Snyderville Basin Planning Commission convened on March 12, 2024, to discuss key developments in the area, focusing primarily on traffic management and infrastructure improvements related to the Canyons Resort.

The meeting began with a detailed presentation on traffic flow and access points for a new parking structure. It was emphasized that all traffic would enter from Canyon Resort Drive, with access to the parking facilities strictly via Ozzie Way. This design aims to prevent congestion near the roundabout and along Canyon Resort Drive, ensuring smoother traffic movement.

The presentation highlighted a two-lane drop-off area located on the second level of the parking structure. Vehicles exiting this area will only be permitted to make a right turn onto Canyon Resort Drive, with no entry allowed from Lower Village Road. This configuration is intended to streamline traffic and enhance safety for both drivers and pedestrians.

Additionally, the meeting addressed landscaping requirements surrounding the parking area, as well as the necessity for a sidewalk connection from the employee housing to the transit area. This connection is crucial for linking the housing to both the transit system and the parking garage, facilitating easier access for employees.

Visual aids were presented, including photographs from Highway 224 and Canyons Resort Drive, illustrating how the new garage would integrate into the existing landscape. The staff report provided a comprehensive analysis of the low impact permit, with an invitation for further questions from the commission members.

In conclusion, the meeting underscored the planning commission's commitment to improving traffic flow and accessibility in the Snyderville Basin, particularly in relation to the Canyons Resort development. Further discussions and clarifications are expected as the project progresses.
