Kaysville planning commission continues public hearing on Symphony Homes 50‑acre rezoning after hours of public comment

Kaysville City Planning Commission on Tuesday held a lengthy public hearing on a rezoning and development agreement proposed by Symphony Homes and Ivory Homes for about 50 contiguous acres on Kaysville’s west side and voted to continue the item to Oct. 9 so staff and the applicant can resolve outstanding road and development‑agreement issues.

The application would rezone the site into a mix of R‑1‑6 and RM zones and, as presented, include 193 detached single‑family homes and 102 attached single‑family homes (townhomes), for a total of about 295 dwelling units and an average project density the applicant described as 5.8 units per acre. Developer representative Matt Loveland said the plan includes perimeter lots as a transition to existing larger lots, interior detached homes on smaller lots, and amenity features including a pool, pickleball courts, trails and a proposed city‑owned “bike park” to replace the privately owned equestrian facility on the site.

Community Development Director Melinda (last name not specified) told the commission the city mailed about 65 notices, posted the hearing on the state public meeting site and the city’s channels, and by about 6:30 p.m. had received roughly 30 emails and a few calls — most opposing the rezone. She said staff and utility providers had reviewed infrastructure and found sewer, water and power capacity available but warned some homes may require grinder or lift pumps because of sewer configurations. Melinda recommended continuing the matter to allow the developer and staff to finalize parts of the development agreement tied to the proposed road connections.
