The Price Planning and Zoning Commission convened on November 25, 2024, to address several key agenda items, including the approval of previous meeting minutes, public comments, and a significant zoning change proposal.

The meeting commenced with a review of the minutes from the November 12, 2024, meeting. After a brief discussion, the minutes were unanimously approved following a motion by Commissioner Wood and a second by Commissioner Bianco.

Next, the commission opened the floor for public comments regarding agenda items, but no comments were presented. The meeting then transitioned to general business discussions, specifically a public hearing concerning a proposed zone change for a property located at 1430 East 300 South. The current zoning classification of R-1-8 (residential) is proposed to be changed to C-1 (commercial).

Commissioner Thorn motioned to open the public hearing, which was seconded by Commissioner Swinburne. The motion passed, allowing for public input. Jesse Reynolds from Menlove Construction, the applicant for the zone change and conditional use permit, addressed the commission. He outlined plans for the property, which include the development of storage units and potentially a car wash in the future. The commission engaged in a discussion about the proposed uses and the implications of the zoning change, noting the proximity of existing commercial establishments.

After the public hearing, the commission moved to close it, with a motion made by Commissioner Thorn and seconded by Commissioner Heffernan. The motion passed without opposition.

Following the closure of the public hearing, the commission considered a resolution to recommend the zoning change to the city council. Commissioner Thorn made a motion to approve the resolution, which was seconded by Commissioner Heffernan. The resolution received unanimous support from the commission.

The final agenda item involved a conditional use permit for the proposed storage caretaker office and future car wash at the same location. The commission again called upon Jesse Reynolds to provide further details. The discussion continued to focus on the implications of the conditional use permit within the newly proposed commercial zoning.

In summary, the Price Planning and Zoning Commission successfully approved the minutes from the previous meeting, conducted a public hearing on a significant zoning change, and recommended the approval of a resolution to the city council. The meeting concluded with plans to further discuss the conditional use permit in future sessions.
