The recommendation would make a small pocket of land contiguous with existing commercial zoning along Antelope Drive.

The application, submitted by Fort Street Partners (applicant identified online as Rick), proposes commercial development on two small parcels directly west of Glen Eagle Golf Club’s clubhouse. The applicant told the commission the rezone is needed, in part, to allow a second vehicle entrance aligned with an existing roadway across Antelope Drive; the applicant said UDOT (Utah Department of Transportation) would require that alignment and that without commercial zoning the required second entrance would not be permitted at that location.

Owner and manager of Glen Eagle Golf Club, Michael McBride, addressed the commission and said the family that owns the golf course supports the rezone and that relatives' lots provide a roughly 1.5-acre buffer between residential homes and the proposed commercial area. McBride said he did not believe the development would be detrimental to the golf course.

Several commissioners and commenters raised concerns about proximity to the golf course, the potential for errant golf balls striking vehicles or buildings and the adequacy of proposed mitigation. An unnamed commissioner said they feared frequent errant shots could cause problems; the applicant responded that the long-term site plan would include netting and other mitigations and that comparable projects have used tall netting (applicant said roughly 50-foot netting was used elsewhere) and building orientation to reduce risk.

Planning staff explained that the golf-course parcels are zoned A-1 and that the city’s buffer/fencing and landscaping requirements apply based on use compatibility; staff also said the applicant is working with the golf course on parcel adjustments to accommodate depth and UDOT has long-term plans to widen Antelope Drive. Staff noted that detailed mitigation measures (netting height, fences, landscaping) would be reviewed during future site-plan and subdivision processes if the rezone is approved.

A commissioner asked whether the city or applicant had standards for netting height or other precedents; staff said city code does not specify detailed netting standards between a golf course and commercial uses and that mitigation could be addressed through the site-plan stage, fencing/landscaping buffers and building design.

After discussion, a motion recommending approval to the city council was made and seconded. The commission approved the recommendation by voice vote with one recorded opposed: Commissioner Karianne Lisonbee.

(Ending) The matter now moves to Syracuse City Council for final action; if the council approves the map amendment and rezoning, specific site plans, subdivision plats and road-frontage improvements will return to the city for review and permitting, including coordination with UDOT on Antelope Drive improvements.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning Commission Meeting/Public Hearing - July 1, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Syracuse Planning Commission on July 1 recommended that the City Council rezone roughly 1.5 acres near 3400 West and Antelope Drive from medium-density residential to general commercial, prompting debate over golf-course proximity, mitigation and UDOT roadway requirements.","taxTitle","Syracuse City Council, Syracuse, Davis County, Utah","taxId",21367,"location","Utah","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6552581,"Planning commission approves site plan for LDS meetinghouse expansion at 535 West 2700 South",512,683000,1195000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5114242-4abbf1914c5cfb55186e4ba1c50053a4&start=683&end=1195","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5114242-4abbf1914c5cfb55186e4ba1c50053a4/thumbnail_683000.jpg","/articles/6552581/Utah/Planning-commission-approves-site-plan-for-LDS-meetinghouse-expansion-at-535-West-2700-South","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6552581-31bc89454841db9ae9af21548a3d209d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771038040&Signature=DpenC9TTzGEekLf0HIOMBFMxP8jgSxASneoewxLHNaFzXK~fNm76R-wQdU3mMyVd0LAPKOuWHbz-KmsZYlCT8OvWTV5jdQJzVr4wW7wZ4~o01g8DvfpK1sbG7YwZ-x4I4lQZoQR3BHePhqKquX50tx8pSLh~~LOz4c81ZYioBJ8YcLd94kjAlAOZhFA3n7wGlDzqAau8caAEFHa8qiarFaQYsfVpmdm8dThArv5slUxOnkV8ru1yRztOIfATjW9Dz3-bPV1fSAZn-8xrZZgXx9r2iBcRhXNszjbTEta9L3oXGQaq3y18yfdB7FefZwp401WzfE7Kj~3KRLxrVE5W2w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Syracuse Planning Commission on July 1, 2025 approved a site-plan amendment to expand a meetinghouse for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 535 West 2700 South.

City planning staff described the project as an approximately 30-foot southern building extension that would reuse existing façade materials, alter a small portion of landscaping and remove some parking stalls in the affected area while leaving overall parking supply in compliance with city code. Staff recommended approval, saying the proposal met city standards for parking and site design.

Neighbors spoke during the public hearing. Lisa Hayes (534 West 2810 South) said she and an adjacent neighbor were concerned about replacement landscaping, tree regrowth where large Chinese elm trees had been removed, water run-off on the south side and vehicle circulation where children sometimes drive in the parking area.

Another neighbor, Maria Thorpe (2804 South 580 West), told the commission she supported the expansion and said several neighbors were pleased with the proposal. Planning staff clarified that a separate road-signal or right-of-way improvement discussed by commenters (a signal at 2700 South) would be part of the public right-of-way and managed by Layton City and UDOT, and is not part of the church’s administrative site-plan application.

A commissioner asked about timing; staff said the city does not set a fixed expiration for a building project but noted that a building permit typically expires after six months if no work begins on the permit and would need reapplication unless the applicant shows progress or applies for extensions.

A motion to approve the site plan was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.

(Ending) The approved site plan authorizes the described addition; any future changes to the project or separate public-right-of-way improvements will be handled through standard permitting and interagency processes.","The Syracuse Planning Commission approved a site-plan application for an addition to a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints meetinghouse at 535 W. 2700 S.; staff said parking requirements and city code standards were met.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6552586,"Syracuse Planning Commission elects James King as chair, names Garner vice chair",109,277000,386000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5114242-4abbf1914c5cfb55186e4ba1c50053a4&start=277&end=386","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5114242-4abbf1914c5cfb55186e4ba1c50053a4/thumbnail_277000.jpg","/articles/6552586/Utah/Syracuse-Planning-Commission-elects-James-King-as-chair-names-Garner-vice-chair","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6552586-99c9e515d826335a883d39c6b61381c6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771038040&Signature=d-B0Maw7YcZGcaXeDB8qIyAt4VoizbAsZViuBFBKMrHZ51aXvp0JuP04pIHahFYUhhxKgFJlBVXs5mbLKV9cERZ0JMzT0Fvsq-QTO2HMIztJhdFM653xoxT5v-gIyZbfZ0SlzGXXSBZHTw~iwzVEdwmc9VC7XZoWnRCR5oc1qScn~sHVeyoE1KwlPLwh0n4QZ3~5cHYZxvXpXLx0tDzrUezYWmyFVRi3jpEtgXaB5Lkr4fS2YuVPiF6A0zH9h9cSsaezjITDWTcilNOO1OI9agJ3J-Ff52KYgdQg2gR7OxXbXk5-1fjJB6qzs6J5Fv3c2PkyRrjAENM5Z7rIIfyEJQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Syracuse Planning Commission on July 1, 2025 elected James King to serve as chair and nominated Commissioner Garner as vice chair.

The leadership votes come after the commission’s prior chair and vice chair left the body. City staff advised commissioners that they could self-nominate or nominate others and that the commission should resolve the leadership among themselves.

No formal tie or roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript; both positions were approved by unanimous voice vote with no recorded formal opposition on either appointment.
