Planning commission conditionally approves Westlake Landing minor plat at 2200 W., 2700 S.
Summary
The Syracuse City Planning Commission voted to conditionally approve a minor commercial plat called Westlake Landing, requiring the applicant to resolve outstanding staff comments and noting a nonconforming separation on 2000 West.
Syracuse City Planning Commission on Aug. 19 conditionally approved a minor commercial plat called Westlake Landing, a roughly 10.14-acre parcel at 2200 West and 2700 South, subject to staff comments being resolved before the plat is recorded with Davis County.
The commission’s recommendation, delivered during the planning session and moved for approval by Commissioner Anderson, requires the applicant to address outstanding engineering, planning and fire comments and acknowledged that the proposed access on 2000 West does not meet the city code’s intersection center‑line separation requirement.
City planner Royce (staff) told commissioners the project is planned as a commercial subdivision with two internal access roads and right‑of‑way dedications along the northern edge to accommodate a future trail alignment. Royce said planning is recommending conditional approval while the applicant resolves outstanding comments with the city engineer and fire staff.
Resident and developer Charles Osman, who identified himself as the landowner and developer, said his team had “added additional roadway space” along 2700 South and coordinated design work with neighboring property owners so future markings or road design could be implemented by the city. Osman said the corner parcel at the signalized intersection is owned by Wasatch Investments and would be developed separately.
Commissioners raised pedestrian‑safety concerns because Trailside Park and a portion of the Syracuse trail network lie immediately adjacent to the proposed development. One commissioner said joggers and bicyclists use the corridor heavily during mornings and evenings and asked whether the plat would increase pedestrian risk. Royce replied that right‑of‑way dedication for a trail along the northern side of the property remains a condition to address pedestrian circulation, and that a future signal could be considered as the corridor develops.
The commission’s motion — to approve the minor plat with the conditions that all staff comments be addressed before the plat is recorded and noting the nonconforming 2000 West access spacing — passed by voice vote.
Planning staff and the applicant will return the finalized, recorded plat to the city for administrative signoffs once the listed conditions are satisfied.
Votes at the meeting were recorded as a voice vote; individual roll‑call tallies were not recorded in the meeting transcript.
