The Holladay Planning Commission voted to forward a preliminary plat for a two‑lot subdivision at 1919 East Baywood Drive and 5428 South Highland Drive to the City Council on Jan. 7.

The proposal would re-establish two parcels that were combined in 2013. City staff said there is no redevelopment planned as part of the plat; the Baywood Drive lot would retain access from Baywood Drive and the Highland Drive parcel would take access only from Highland Drive. The staff report and the applicant’s submission state the zoning follows the parcel line and that the Baywood Drive lot maintains R 121 zoning while the Highland Drive frontage is zoned R 210.

Planning commission members said the application appeared complete for a preliminary plat because no new development is proposed. Commissioner Dan Roach moved to forward the preliminary plat application by Ashley Wooley (recorded in the staff motion as “Highland Subdivision”) to the City Council; Commissioner Barrett seconded. Commissioner Cunningham, Commissioner Vilchinski, Commissioner Fondt, Commissioner Roach, Commissioner Barrett and the chair voted aye; Commissioner Gong abstained. Commissioner Gaughn recused herself because of a family connection.

The commission’s motion will send the application to City Council for final action; the commission’s approval was limited to forwarding a recommendation on the preliminary plat rather than final plat recordation.

The planning commission noted that because no site redevelopment is proposed, the commission’s role was limited to confirming the plat meets subdivision and zone requirements and that any required off-site improvements or conditions would be addressed prior to final plat approval.

The commission’s recommendation and the public record will be available to the City Council when it considers the final plat.
