Community development staff said the proposed data center would be “about 320,000 square feet” and located southwest of the Ford dealership on the far south end of town. The application will be reviewed at DRC and does not automatically come to the Planning Commission because of recent state legislative changes affecting review authority for some projects.

Commissioners asked staff whether the approved development agreement for the project restricts types of on-site energy generation. One commissioner asked directly, “I have 1 quick question on that data center. We approved that they could make their own power on-site. We did not restrict what kinds of power they could ... do to create that power, did we?” Staff said the development-agreement definition for on-site power-generation had been reviewed with the city attorney during the agreement drafting and that the intent was not to allow certain technologies, but staff did not point to a specific prohibition on particular technologies in the meeting record.

When a commissioner raised the example of modular or containerized nuclear units, staff and other commissioners discussed that the existing definition covers on-site production of electricity, heat or steam. One commissioner noted there was no explicit, textual prohibition against nuclear within the current on-site-power definition and said the city could add restrictions if desired; others said the project team did not intend to use nuclear technology. No code amendment or formal restriction was adopted at the meeting.

The data-center site plan will proceed through DRC review for detailed engineering and site-plan questions; the commission was provided the notice as an informational update rather than a land-use action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Santaquin City Planning Commission Meeting - June 10, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Staff told the Planning Commission on Tuesday that the Development Review Committee (DRC) had received a site-plan application for a large data center on the city's south end, and commissioners questioned whether the city's development agreement or code definitions limit on-site power generation options.","taxTitle","Santaquin South , Juab County, Utah","taxId",7354,"location","Utah","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":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6205120,"Planning commission approves amended preliminary plan for Tanner Flats phases 3–6",425,2725000,3150000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3776778-6b04c9c1d1ab1ca5aee83c47f50b4309&start=2725&end=3150","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3776778-6b04c9c1d1ab1ca5aee83c47f50b4309/thumbnail_2725000.jpg","/articles/6205120/Utah/Planning-commission-approves-amended-preliminary-plan-for-Tanner-Flats-phases-36","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6205120-26909c52d28b0393a0b8898f86638c30/orig.mp4?Expires=1775069511&Signature=TMV9eB80vAYSQhLU0Bw3zzcryUyO0uLNgTCouweRhuteLPyJNSSm6p1aMBKTvgYu7dM08d0sEqAoOFKJXl2H8SvO7xnqp59WQNj~iuAWCs5Cfaprec9yHRue~-OC2KMjCwkFpeTEXFGuu0yo4UgpdMfls9k6lza-Jch8eOxNvHKWuJNNHAblgnKAvLXt-a0PRLOJwwjeON4oPiknPL~Tyizn4RVPshN-etAfNAWPkV08CFr5fZrJTZ2Jaxh5E5TRBCTCdnicwGsqFo9B~lxQZRRLQNo-ZOxC6FTuqQ9iHVyZhSUFlo~Z-GBsa~meCzvq~2vyRXAk~j-5WaWxaMe79A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning Commission on Tuesday approved an amended preliminary plan for the Tanner Flats subdivision covering phases 3 through 6, following a presentation from the applicant describing grading-driven adjustments to lot layout.

Staff explained the item was returning because an amendment to the development agreement and several layout changes required the plan to be reviewed again. The property is in the R10 zone; staff noted relevant R10 standards during the discussion including a minimum lot area of 9,600 square feet and minimum lot width of 80 feet.

Skyler Tolbert, representing Ivory Development, told the commission the team refined grading plans and adjusted road and open-space alignments, which produced “a few lots fewer.” Tolbert said the overall open space increased slightly and that the revised layout “lays out better on the land.” At one point he said the total count decreased from 133 lots to 130 lots as the developer refined plans in later phases.

Commissioners asked engineering questions about drainage near a southeast cul-de-sac; Tolbert and staff explained the sewer outfall and grading plan route and confirmed that sewer drainage was planned toward the north/northeast low point of the subdivision. No unresolved technical objections were raised.

Commissioner Nixon moved to approve the preliminary plans for Tanner Flats Phases 3 through 6; Commissioner Waite seconded. The motion passed unanimously with all commissioners voting yes. Staff noted the final plats and any right-of-way vacations will follow later through the DRC and final-plat approval process.

No specific conditions beyond the normal DRC/final-plat submittal requirements were stated on the record at the commission meeting.","The Planning Commission approved the amended preliminary plan for Tanner Flats (phases 3–6) after the applicant said grading changes reduced lot count slightly and increased open space; the approval was unanimous.",{"_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":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6205126,"Santaquin planning commission tables agritourism code amendment after questions on size, signage and hospitality",2235,580000,2815000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3776778-6b04c9c1d1ab1ca5aee83c47f50b4309&start=580&end=2815","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3776778-6b04c9c1d1ab1ca5aee83c47f50b4309/thumbnail_580000.jpg","/articles/6205126/Utah/Santaquin-planning-commission-tables-agritourism-code-amendment-after-questions-on-size-signage-and-hospitality","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6205126-df294b29056caa7b3ebf84f2449b26ae/orig.mp4?Expires=1775069511&Signature=Vb29EOC1tp-JCGnC7vWDpZeccB-0hcevaSLqwMe5UVO2U69wqJK47i5ab~KGzgd-rN~B1CXqhq4zjx9eGZQvnom5xsHsot-UikSP-ceQb8BVR0PmzqhmHboFCnOOo2hllKQSb2OZumv~ZeS5ygs1nrGf57J4lPDNxuzjtuwbDifxPBc4ww4DL4dGc25PqKXAPRKlCQXYtiFTGDAocNwNU3zLkhcSM9a5GCkJhDaU4DAlHZV-QbA6zr9CtIzZbFktTJ16NXt0y26Um2sWTaI~HH07ma5Cim40AvkPiYNRDDPyZlA4GrUB649QlIx19ereZ-Qg3RxDdeKyhKpg0F5FwQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Santaquin City Planning Commission held a public hearing Tuesday on a draft ordinance to expand agritourism as a conditional use across most zoning districts, then unanimously voted to table the item for additional edits and outreach.

City staff presented the draft as an update to definitions first added last year allowing agritourism as a temporary use and proposed moving toward a more permanent, conditional framework. Jason Bond, community development staff, read the draft definition into the record: agritourism is “the practice of touring agricultural areas to view and participate in agricultural related activities for recreational, entertainment, or educational purposes.” Bond said the proposal would add agriculture and agritourism entries to the land-use table and make agritourism a conditional use in most zones.

Commissioners discussed multiple technical and policy questions during a lengthly review. Key elements in the draft that prompted debate included a 5-acre minimum farm size for agritourism operations, a proposed cap of eight temporary hospitality rooms or units (draft language mirrored existing bed-and-breakfast limits), a 16-square-foot signage limit in residential settings, and flexible parking standards that would allow gravel instead of paved parking in some cases. Bond told commissioners the temporary-hospitality language had been modeled on the city’s bed-and-breakfast conditional-use rules.

Commissioner Romero raised the question of whether 8 rooms should scale with acreage (“Is that per 5 acres or only?”). Commissioners suggested an approach that would allow “8 rooms or units per 5 acres” with a maximum cap, and several members recommended removing two draft conditions that mirrored bed-and-breakfast rules (one limiting unrelated adult occupants in a guest room, another restricting meal service to family-style). Bond and commissioners agreed some conditions could be struck or revised.

Commissioner Wood pressed staff on outreach to growers; Bond said the idea had originated with orchard owners and that staff had met with Dustin Rowley and others but would continue to solicit input and circulate a revised draft. Commissioners also asked about livestock: one commissioner noted that agriculture in some residential zones is already listed as a use but said animal restrictions in R8/R10 zones still apply and should be called out in the draft.

After discussion, Commissioner Nixon moved to table the proposal for further revision and engagement; Commissioner Romero seconded the motion. The motion to table carried unanimously (Commissioners Waite, Hoffman, Wood, Nixon and Romero voting yes). Bond told commissioners he would incorporate suggested edits, consider scalable language for units, and share the revised draft with growers including Dustin and Jace Rowley before the next meeting.

The commission did not adopt any ordinance language at the meeting; the item will return after staff revisions and additional stakeholder outreach.","The Planning Commission held a public hearing on a proposed agritourism code amendment that would allow conditional agritourism uses across many zones, then voted unanimously to table the draft for further edits and outreach after members raised questions about signage, unit counts, livestock rules and other conditions.",{"_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":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6205131,"Residents ask city to investigate missing rear fencing in townhome development",543,138000,681000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3776778-6b04c9c1d1ab1ca5aee83c47f50b4309&start=138&end=681","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3776778-6b04c9c1d1ab1ca5aee83c47f50b4309/thumbnail_138000.jpg","/articles/6205131/Utah/Residents-ask-city-to-investigate-missing-rear-fencing-in-townhome-development","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6205131-45a1bb98a64402ff94552766d2c6ff6e/orig.mp4?Expires=1775069511&Signature=RrOPl36pHdwaywS~UAqOxVqKPNjsJ1ZQhV~XU~QBse1~QFQw812MDzc6h~KaQSomeAuu9bDg38imvH8jMA0SfKREcMsTFChuVuM0D5dFA0Ou1NFeTpn~j7E6dhNpP9YTrgvVP7yHVt5aPU9G9Xuqfw~PddQJT6FCWjIT8oFex4I78JEGsF3xZdRK7vIoFhai529f5hYqyIcKUBPXiPSL9PHPpjYiVcfvp0lTm77u2kOFqRtTMCZjwplzUVBwcgGjgpj-MOQ5I1ivrJN0ghkl-p79RBHXTGn0NJjGfuqlbInQEfwFS03UMNLptKwis-1VBXnmgE9mv6v8H3f5wecDmA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Two Santaquin residents told the City Planning Commission on Tuesday that a required rear-yard fence at their townhome development was not installed and that recent backyard disputes might have been prevented if the fence had been in place.

The residents said they live at addresses on East 990 North and cited what they described as a 2019 fence requirement. They asked the commission to direct staff to review the development plan and confirm who is responsible for installing the fence.

Nathan Haines, a resident at 144 East 990 North, told commissioners he and neighbors “would like to report a possible noncompliance with ordinance 808012019, fencing and multifamily developments.” Haines said his development was finished in 2020 and that some nearby developments do have fences while others do not. He provided photos and a packet to staff as part of the record.

Paige Aguirre, who said she lives two houses from Haines, described ongoing safety concerns affecting children and said the absence of a fence has made outdoor play unsafe: “It has been ongoing for 5 years and I don't think there will be any resolution outside of if we can just seek protection from, you know, offense.”

Commissioners noted that code enforcement and compliance investigations are handled by city staff rather than the commission. Jason Bond, community development staff, said staff would take the packet, review the materials and “we'll look into the situation and see what happened there, and we'll just be in touch with you.” Bond also gave the residents office-hours and contact guidance for follow-up.

No formal enforcement action was taken at the meeting; the commission closed public forum and moved on to the night's agenda. The residents left materials with staff for the department record.","Two Santaquin residents told the Planning Commission they believe a required rear yard fence was never installed along a townhome development built after a 2019 fencing ordinance, and asked staff to investigate enforcement and responsibility.","actionData","errors"]
