Commission approves 62‑unit Spring Creek townhome project in Provo’s Pro A36 zone

The Provo City Planning Commission unanimously approved a project plan on June 11 for a 62‑unit townhome development in the Pro A36 Spring Creek high‑occupancy zone at 1225 East 1600 South. Nancy Robinson, Development Services staff, presented the application and recommended approval.

The project covers about 6.35 acres and proposes 62 single‑family attached townhomes, each with four bedrooms and (effectively) four bathrooms, two‑car garages and rooftop deck amenities. Staff told the commission the development would include 264 total stalls (two‑car garages plus 138 surface stalls), landscaped open space, a gathering pavilion and two pickleball courts to satisfy zoning requirements for common amenities. Robinson said the project was previously approved in 2019 but the prior approval lapsed for lack of activity; the current application separates each unit into an individual parcel so units can be sold individually.

Commissioners asked about the product’s long‑term appearance and durability; the applicant, representing Flagship Homes / Braden Hampton, said the proposal uses thin brick at the base, stucco at mid‑levels and cementitious board (hardy type) at upper sections and that the company markets similar products nearby. Staff noted the Pro A36 overlay allows up to four unrelated occupants and that parking and platting changes were intended to reduce risks of over‑occupation; staff recommended approval and the commission approved the project.

Because the project plan conforms to the Pro A36 standards and is before the Planning Commission as the approving body, the commission’s unanimous vote clears the development to move to preconstruction steps; staff said a preconstruction meeting was scheduled and that the developer planned to proceed with construction sequencing.
