Scarlett, the city planner, told commissioners the change was proposed after engineering review showed the originally proposed cul‑de‑sac on the south would create unacceptable grades and conflicts with an irrigation main. “From the perspective of meeting the general plan and the transportation plan, this works,” Scarlett said, adding that the modification provides more street connectivity than the previous configuration and that staff would retain all prior conditions except the previously required turnaround.

Developer Jody Robbins said updated elevation information triggered the redesign. Robbins described the engineering constraint in technical terms: “We ended up with a 15 foot cut into the road or cut into the native grade and the lot above it has 10 foot of slope on top of that. So we were going to have 25 feet right on that corner where the irrigation line runs, which was going to make a belly in the irrigation line that was basically 25 feet deep.” Robbins said the revised layout lengthens the road by about 200 feet and allows acceptable grades with less impact to the irrigation main; he added that Spring Creek Water Company preferred the change because it avoids a low point in the main.

Staff told the commission the amendment does not change the overall intent of the approved preliminary plat but will alter lot configuration slightly; staff and the developer said the number of lots may change by one. Commissioners discussed phasing and access: staff confirmed the north portion remains Phase 1 and the south remains Phase 2, and that final grading and cross‑sections will be reviewed during engineering and final plat review. Staff also noted that final plat approvals are handled administratively by city technical staff (engineer, public works director and community development director) after preliminary plat conditions are satisfied.

A public comment submitted by email from Kira Moon encouraged the commission to “require a stub on the future Hilldale Way near 350 North” to improve future access to 300 East and to allow access to a roughly five‑acre field owned by nearby property owners if that land is ever developed. Commissioners reviewed the proposed alignment and acknowledged that creating a stub or through connection could require sacrificing a lot in the plan; they discussed, but did not require at this hearing, additional right‑of‑way acquisition that future development might need.

Following discussion, a motion to approve the requested amendment to the Hilldale preliminary plat with the findings, conclusions and conditions recommended by staff carried. Staff will continue engineering review and work with the irrigation company and developer on final construction plans.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning Commission meeting 6/11//2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Providence Planning Commission on June 11 approved a modification to the Hilldale preliminary plat that moves a cul‑de‑sac to the north, adjusts the street layout and increases on‑site road length to address grading and irrigation concerns.","taxTitle","Providence , Cache County, Utah","taxId",7274,"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},6639354,"Providence planning commission recommends R16 rezoning for Timberbrook Homes parcel",3103,619000,3722000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3795725-7f378b8870f9be22fa3243615f561ca6&start=619&end=3722","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3795725-7f378b8870f9be22fa3243615f561ca6/thumbnail_619000.jpg","/articles/6639354/Providence/Cache-County/Utah/Providence-planning-commission-recommends-R16-rezoning-for-Timberbrook-Homes-parcel","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6639354-979b434051c0b41cf8325449906ac39d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770565408&Signature=IpxNHfhcvBstRPDo8WkM7nGvVQ3u5HFoKD9zTMvhSQf1nJXq1cuUYrrNyzPEP8sVLaf~pIY5J2tibPsNqjwTX0fYXj0o7hJTs~Coz40yZarhBl9f4wbtZEseX3UBabKsigq8CZAsA7SqDkhRijKO-7L6TGH68vAqDByC0dBJ3hIALahbfB9nxP20FFI~mC-mztNZj~PaDKPG45p13Zg9od~5Z2sCkZb5bcR~2MfE6IBcAP5VYIvh~~9O2fHpUclt5dCwQ83l-ymregGEHjZ7LpKjU4cIlbylVZ16Fy6Uf-pVz7smGO9ToPsXqs-YD78zO7sYhnNHDP6FEJKsMKy9-g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Providence Planning Commission on June 11 voted to recommend that the City Council rezone Parcel 02096‑0048 (near 314 West 100 South) from AGR (agricultural) to R‑16 (single‑family residential with a 6,000‑square‑foot minimum lot size).

Scarlett, a city planner, said the commission is a recommending body and reminded the public that the City Council makes the final decision. “They’re requesting to change this zone from agriculture to R 16, and R 16 stands for residential, a single family, so 1 single family unit on the lot, and a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet,” Scarlett said. She described the requirement that the commission consider the general plan and the Providence City moderate income housing plan and noted the staff report lists related Providence City code and Utah statute references.

The staff report said the proposal is near a mixed‑use node and supports a general‑plan initiative to encourage housing options for a range of ages and incomes. The report also flagged irrigation facilities within 100 feet of the property and noted that water dedication and other impact fees will be addressed at subdivision or building stages. Scarlett noted that some conditions and detailed infrastructure reviews (including review by the contracted fire reviewer, Aaron Walker of Logan City Fire) will follow the zoning decision.

Developer Dallin Tolman of Timberbrook Homes told commissioners the company focuses on smaller, locally built single‑family homes aimed at “an affordable” price point. Tolman said the product mix would be mostly single‑story three‑ and four‑bed homes and added, “Most of our homes … almost all of our houses sell for under 450,000.” He also said the lots in his current plan “are still over 10,000 feet” on average, explaining the developer sought R‑16 because of the parcel depth and frontage requirements that would make other zones produce much larger, less affordable lots.

Public commenters praised and questioned aspects of the proposal. Benjamin Chandler asked whether new houses would be within walking distance of Zollinger Park and the new elementary school; Scarlett replied, “I think that they would be able to walk across the street and access Zollinger Park and the elementary school.” Residents who live on streets that would connect to the new subdivision expressed concern about traffic and school‑drop‑off patterns; Crystal Howe said she was “a little concerned about the traffic” because the proposed road would connect a neighborhood street to a school route. Reese Peterson urged larger lots, saying he would “like to see the lots a little bigger.” A neighboring resident, Bryce Berry, said he supported the redevelopment.

Commissioners discussed lot frontage and street character. Staff and the developer said frontage in the plan would be in the roughly 60–65‑foot range while lot depths would make many lots much larger than the 6,000‑square‑foot R‑16 minimum. Commissioners also confirmed that R‑16 does not allow livestock and that accessory dwelling units are allowed in the zone. Scarlett noted water rights, stormwater and culinary water impacts are generally addressed when subdivisions proceed and when houses are permitted.

After deliberation, a commissioner moved that the planning commission recommend approval of the rezoning “with the findings of fact, conclusions, and conditions that have been brought up.” The motion carried; the action is a recommendation to the City Council, which will make the final zoning decision.

The commission closed the public hearing on the rezoning after receiving written and in‑person comments and then proceeded to the recommendation vote.","The Providence Planning Commission on June 11 voted to recommend that the City Council rezone Parcel 02096‑0048 (near 314 West 100 South) from AGR (agricultural) to R‑16 (single‑family residential with a 6,000‑square‑foot minimum lot size).","actionData","errors"]
