Planning commission approves minutes, tables improperly noticed zone change and tables Cordero release to April 1

The Cedar City Planning Commission on Thursday handled several procedural items before its extended discussion of a Cordero development agreement matter.

The commission approved the minutes from its Feb. 4 meeting by voice vote. A public hearing for an amended plat at 1104 East Sagewood Lane (a lot combination in Ashdown Forest) was opened and closed; staff reported no outstanding utility or easement issues, and commissioners noted the matter is a staff decision item and would not be voted on by the commission that night.

A separate public hearing for a proposed zone change at 366 South Dewey Avenue was not properly noticed and therefore could not proceed; the commission opened the hearing to allow any attendees who had traveled to speak, heard public comment (including from Anne Clark), then closed the hearing and moved to table the matter to the next available meeting so it could be renoticed properly.

After lengthy discussion on the Cordero release request and replacement development agreement from applicant Caleb Levitt, the commission set a date certain of April 1 for the applicant to return with additional coordinated engineering modeling and revised contract language. The motion to table carried by voice vote.

Ending: commissioners asked staff to work with the applicant on notice requirements for any subsequent hearing and to ensure all successor property owners are included in future notices when an agreement's scope affects multiple parcels.
