The rezoning drew several residents who urged the council to preserve the existing lot sizes and rural character. Mark Beasant, who said he lives at 1192 East 200 South, told the council he supported maintaining the long-standing zoning pattern: “The only reason this is being requested is because someone wants to make more homes in this area than less homes.”

Property owner Ed Adams, who lives on the parcel, described site constraints. Adams said the developable rectangle of the site is limited and estimated that a cul-de-sac and road could remove about an acre, leaving “probably about 3 acres” for homes: “I really think even with this new situation, the most homes that could go in there would be a dozen.”

Resident Sarah Barker described public-safety and infrastructure concerns: “The water pressure up in that area, my mom… She cannot flush her toilet and have somebody in the shower at the same time.” She also warned that doubling housing would increase fire risk and strain the single access road.

Staff response and technical findings: Director Daniel Cardenas explained the requested rezone and that the city’s general plan designates the area as single-family low density, which lists R-1-10 as an applicable zone. He said the planning commission forwarded a 5–1 recommendation of approval. Public works staff and the city’s consultant addressed the water-pressure concerns. Neil (city staff) summarized the technical assessment: the neighborhood is served by tanks whose elevation determines pressure; the consultant concluded “whether you have 15, or 30 homes in this development, there’s negligible impact to peak day or peak hour pressures” because of the large distribution main and tank configuration. Neil added that significantly increasing pressure would require major upgrades such as a higher tank, which is expensive.

Council discussion and decision: Council members acknowledged the difficulty of balancing property rights and neighborhood concerns. Mayor and council members noted the general plan and code constrained their options: rezoning is a legislative action guided by the general plan, and specific site-plan details (lot count, street layout, fire access) will be evaluated later at the subdivision/plat stage. After discussion, Council member Anderson moved to approve ordinance 2025-017; Council member Williams seconded. The motion passed on a roll-call vote: Anderson: Yes; Janssen: Yes; Limon: Yes; Williams: Yes. Council member Rogers was absent.

What this means next: The zoning change permits future subdivision applications under R-1-10 standards. Any detailed subdivision or site plan will return to staff and the city for review of access, lot configuration, infrastructure capacity and fire-protection requirements. Residents’ concerns about water pressure, single access and emergency response were recorded in the public record and will be part of the staff and developer review at the site-plan stage.

The package of actions included ordinance 2025-017, a zone change for about 4.97 acres at roughly 1525 East 200 South from R-1-20 to R-1-10; ordinance 2025-018, rezoning 0.56 acres at 3195 North 1240 West from A-1 to RR (rural residential); ordinance 2025-019, rezoning 2.19 acres at 644 North Homestead Circle from R-1-20 to R-1-12; ordinance 2025-020, rezoning about 1.15 acres at 555 East 1100 North from R-1-20 to R-1-10; ordinance 2025-021, a code-text amendment to permit nonalcoholic bottling and canning (use 2185) in the Business Manufacturing Park (BMP) zone; and ordinance 2025-022, a code-text amendment to allow mobile food businesses in city parks under a park permit with conditions. The council also approved resolution 2025-034 appointing representatives to the Utah County Aquifer Council, resolution 2025-035 declaring two 2003 Honda four-wheelers surplus, and resolution 2025-036 authorizing an interlocal agreement with Utah County Health Department and Communities That Care for substance-misuse prevention (PG Cares).

Why it matters: the rezonings will allow higher-density single-family development on several small parcels across the city and set the stage for future subdivision site plans; the BMP amendment clears the way for beverage manufacturing tenants in the industrial park; the parks food-truck amendment creates an administrative permitting path for mobile vendors in city parks; and the interlocal locks in $25,000 of county grant funding with a $10,000 city match for local prevention work.

Votes and procedural notes: most measures passed by roll call with the four council members present voting yes. Council member Anderson made or seconded multiple motions; council member Jensen (recorded in minutes as “Jansen/Jensen”), council member Limon (recorded also as “Lamone/Limon”) and council member Williams joined roll-call approvals. Council member Rogers was recorded absent for several votes.

Selected official votes (roll-call results as recorded):
- Resolution 2025-034 (Utah County Aquifer Council appointments): motion by Council member Anderson, second by Council member Jensen — Anderson: Yes; Jensen: Yes; Limon: Yes; Williams: Yes — Outcome: approved.

- Ordinance 2025-022 (code text amendment permitting mobile food trucks in parks under permit): motion by Council member Jensen, second by Council member Anderson — Williams: Yes; Lamone: Yes; Jansen: Yes; Anderson: Yes — Outcome: approved.
- Resolution 2025-035 (declare two 2003 Honda four-wheelers surplus): motion by Council member Williams, second by Council member Limon — Anderson: Yes; Jansen: Yes; Lamone: Yes; Williams: Yes — Outcome: approved.
- Resolution 2025-036 (interlocal agreement for PG Cares prevention program): motion by Council member Jansen, second by Council member Lamone — Anderson: Yes; Jansen: Yes; Lamone: Yes; Williams: Yes — Outcome: approved.

What to watch next: the rezonings permit future subdivision site plans and any subsequent plats or development applications will return to staff and the council for conformity checks (access, water, fire access and infrastructure were discussed for at least one rezoning). The BMP and parks code amendments are legislative changes that will allow administrative business-license approvals for those uses, reducing the need for case-by-case legislative exceptions.
