Commission approves two-lot flat and subdivision plan for rural-residential parcel on 1930 North

The Pleasant Grove Planning Commission on Aug. 28 approved a two-lot flat (subdivision) for a property near 1930 North, finding both proposed lots meet the rural residential zoning requirements.

City planning staff reviewed the zoning map and told commissioners that a small portion of the area was annexed into Pleasant Grove in August 2023 and is shown as rural residential on the city map. Staff recounted prior review work on the vicinity plan amendment, noting the commission previously forwarded a recommendation related to the road terminating in a cul-de-sac and that the vicinity plan had later been considered by the City Council.

Planning staff described Lot 1 as containing the existing home, with Lot 2 to be created as part of the flat. The property owner and staff said each lot meets the rural residential minimum: Lot 1 is approximately a half-acre and about 119 feet in width. Staff explained the subdivision design includes private access (a long driveway) from 1800 North and that utilities and access loops had been accounted for during review. “So, ultimately, it meets all the requirements from the rural residential zone,” staff said.

Property owner Bruce Black spoke in favor of the project, described recent renovations to the house and said his son now lives in the home. The commission approved the subdivision after a motion by Commissioner Phillips that was seconded by Commissioner Trevoyer and a voice vote in favor.

Staff noted the approval reflects the subdivision/flat as shown on the submitted plan and that final engineering and any attendant conditions will be addressed through the standard staff review and building-permit processes.
