Engineer and applicant representatives described the project as consistent with prior Kayenta subdivisions and said streets will be public, trails will be installed and most lots will remain in natural condition until individual building approvals. Staff said the Technical Review Committee verified that phasing numbers need updating and that Kaleva Trail must be installed; the developer agreed to add a note requiring the trail where needed.

Commission discussion focused on a wash that runs through the rear of several lots. Commissioners and staff described the easement as intended to protect the natural drainage, preserve access for future maintenance, and give the city and homeowners association the right to enter for necessary work. Commissioners pressed whether ownership or long‑term maintenance responsibilities would rest with landowners, the HOA or the city. Staff explained the final plat will establish easements and that notes can be added to clarify access and maintenance rights; staff also said the easement is intended to give the city and other entities access for utility or maintenance work if necessary. Applicant and staff noted a detention basin upstream and prior mitigation work in the area; the applicant and staff said the wash is a natural, steep desert wash and not an overgrown, vegetated channel.

After extended discussion about liability, maintenance responsibility and fire risk in washes, the planning commission approved the amended preliminary plan with the explicit condition that the city attorney review easement language and advise on liability and maintenance expectations for the final plat. Commissioners also asked staff and the applicant to add clear notes to the final plat to make future lot purchasers aware of the presence of an active wash and any maintenance or access requirements.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Ivins - Planning Commission - Apr 29, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Ivins Planning Commission approved Kavasa Phase 3 amended preliminary plan on April 29 but asked that the city attorney review easement language and liability regarding a drainage/wash easement that crosses proposed lots.","taxTitle","Ivins, Washington County, Utah","taxId",6018,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6574980,"Commission approves Crossings at Red Desert amended preliminary plan with separated phases",575,1823000,2398000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3157421-9c300209eb304e5fbc1a26a10aad1b17&start=1823&end=2398","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3157421-9c300209eb304e5fbc1a26a10aad1b17/thumbnail_1823000.jpg","/articles/6574980/Ivins/Washington-County/Utah/Commission-approves-Crossings-at-Red-Desert-amended-preliminary-plan-with-separated-phases","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6574980-61c2988f7c58533d16665a729f9406c1/orig.mp4?Expires=1775368699&Signature=VM59hGVp2K3VGN76Tt2MYfUfv7D3zS4Lrx8W24oREuanLeFpKyM-LFUwqoV6KlOurSSEADDCe8LCnwNbQAalpZEcVXdFJqKb64S8hdP0WXGW0GCVSolijLC3fjCWd8I3ZgruvTzafczIQ~yAhdV9vuutNP~o3mbAb6OTZECPxXOCzn51h-dlUdDZWfLKdpsBjLWzD16O-bK4~GfX4FnI6XJ4O2qiHHascxPFf2-St9elQ9QjgYyZvgIhO3hBv1Pa2005mTY3q60kJA~O0EK9zkwOPpknIr9domMRXSdJlTZIeCbTEd9zuiY9OubIjP90kfZx03yfegIChv8WWHp38g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Ivins City Planning Commission on April 29 approved an amended preliminary plan for the Crossings at Red Desert project, located at approximately 800 South Main. Applicants told the commission the change separates twin‑home lots (to be sold individually) from condominium/townhome parcels so each phase may use different governing covenants and filings.

Thomas Ahay (applicant) said the amended plat divides the development into two phases because twin homes fall under different zoning and ownership structures than the condominiums. The full project footprint contains 78 lots in total, the applicant said, and the twin homes will be on one side of the internal road with other higher‑density lots grouped across the street.

Staff and commissioners discussed site design, including driveway and shared common areas. Staff noted the Twin Homes conform to required setbacks and that limited common areas and homeowner association maintenance will define landscaping in front of those units. Commissioners asked about concrete area and impervious surfaces; staff said common areas will be landscaped, driveways and walkways will be concrete and the development includes separation, privacy walls and fire access as required by the technical review committee and the fire department.

The commission moved, seconded and approved the amended preliminary plan by voice vote. Commissioners recorded “aye” votes on the motion. Staff will continue final technical review and ensure required fire access, HOA maintenance responsibilities and other final‑plat requirements are satisfied.","The planning commission approved an amended preliminary plan for the Crossings at Red Desert development near 800 South Main, separating twin‑home parcels from higher‑density townhome/condominium parcels so twin homes may be sold individually.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6574985,"Planning commission approves Circle Cliffs partial amendment preliminary plan",443,1376000,1819000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3157421-9c300209eb304e5fbc1a26a10aad1b17&start=1376&end=1819","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3157421-9c300209eb304e5fbc1a26a10aad1b17/thumbnail_1376000.jpg","/articles/6574985/Ivins/Washington-County/Utah/Planning-commission-approves-Circle-Cliffs-partial-amendment-preliminary-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6574985-92b388f999d30f8f70d0d861f1f599d1/orig.mp4?Expires=1775368699&Signature=W8T8jktsL2K5c-eOp9080aIFNvapzVcthy6edZHPza0m0-~RlSaTarAFIXU5dNFt2BE9tBMPxyYkD8DMpzRng~UNIWBO~8jFEVWeLrwfvZL00-uUuhTtJm97CuVHkY7SNd1U5c738aqx0v1~Uk24-ykgvYI3GtgEr4GMliuqU5ar8CyP6~1WOYRMK7HO~2DeibEhPwVGfqNWjfJVffwhrg9dHw9ikYdn8OAgQfkOCK~2n8aqe~L8DOJ9BtcaPPvn1AfO4Sr20XqNwewrOAP-ysOCt-jxCUxIb7WZWyHjSbKgO0QW61lAa~yuNuGqyYdTCENgx-Y6Q~NAbZL4w4aZ3A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Ivins City Planning Commission on April 29 approved a partial amendment to the Circle Cliffs preliminary plan to show three lots to be sold individually at approximately Main Street and 300 North.

Staff said the application is complete and conforms with the general plan and applicable zoning. Jared Madsen, representing the applicant, described the change as segregating three lots for individual sale. Staff noted a utility line (Rocky Mountain Power) running down the side of one proposed lot and said the applicant has been advised that the utility may be asked to go underground or the developer will need to accommodate the line.

Commissioners visited the site and commented that removing existing, deteriorated structures and replacing them with planned lots would be an improvement that fits the surrounding pattern of development. No members of the public spoke. After brief discussion the commission moved, seconded and approved the preliminary plan amendment by voice vote.

Staff recorded the approval with findings that the amendment fits the general plan and zoning compatibility of the area; final plat and technical review will address utilities and any required adjustments.","The commission approved a partial amendment to the Circle Cliffs preliminary plan to allow three individually sold lots at Main Street and 300 North, finding the proposal consistent with the general plan and zoning.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6574989,"Planning commission recommends rezoning of 10.69-acre parcel at 800 W.

Staff told commissioners the application is complete and complies with Ivins City code and the city general plan. Adam Allen of American Consulting and Engineering, the applicant, told the commission the site sits adjacent to existing higher-density zoning and that the requested R2-10 zoning (two-family district, 10,000-square-foot minimum lots) would “blend in” with nearby development while also providing more attainable housing choices.

The staff presentation quoted Ivins City Code 16.06.0.102 and noted that the general plan supports a variety of housing options. City planner Mister Dally said the parcel includes small, overlapping pieces of several zone districts on the map and acknowledged the zoning map and parcel lines do not exactly follow one another. Commissioners and staff also clarified a typographical error in the materials: the correct district designation on the map is R210, not “RE210.”

No members of the public spoke during the hearing. Commissioners discussed buffering and compatibility with adjacent zones before making findings that the petition appears to conform with the land use plan and city code. The motion recommending approval passed by voice vote with commissioners recorded as voting “aye.” Staff confirmed the item will proceed to the City Council on May 15 for the council’s decision.

Commissioners and staff noted that any sensitive‑lands or environmental review identified in subsequent technical review would be addressed during later permit and plat stages, and that council review remains the next step.","The Ivins City Planning Commission on April 29 recommended approval of a concurrent map and zone change for about 10.69 acres at roughly 800 West Old Highway 91, advancing the proposal to the City Council on May 15.","actionData","errors"]
