Commission recommends rezoning portions near 800 S. 1900 E. to industrial to match existing uses
Summary
The Planning Commission voted 3-0 to forward a recommendation that City Council rezone roughly 6.25 acres (RA-5, RA-1, open space) to I-2 and about 2 acres of RA-5 to I-1 at approximately 800 South and 1900 East; commissioners repeatedly raised access and traffic constraints on 1900 East.
The Planning Commission recommended that City Council approve a zone change for parcels near 800 South and 1900 East to industrial zoning (I-1 and I-2), reflecting the area's existing industrial uses.
Staff said the general-plan land use had been updated to "industrial" earlier and that much of the surrounding area is already used for industrial purposes; staff recommended approval based on conformity with current use and the public-interest findings in the report. Commissioners raised concerns about constrained access on 1900 East, which narrows and can become congested; staff and commissioners discussed the historical pattern of development and the difficulty of obtaining additional access without large redevelopment or road extensions.
Commissioner Davis moved to recommend approval of Z‑25‑21 (rezoning approximately 6.25 acres to I‑2 and approximately 2 acres to I‑1) with staff findings and conditions; Commissioner Mitchell seconded. Commissioners Davis, Mitchell and Bullock voted "aye." The recommendation will be forwarded to City Council.
