Planning commission approves zoning text edits, lot-line adjustment and forwards road-restriction recommendation to council
Summary
At its June 10 meeting the Cedar Fort Planning Commission approved a 2-acre AR-2 zoning text insertion, ratified a lot-line adjustment for Cedar Meadows, and voted to ask the town attorney about designating East West Canyon Road as a residential-agricultural road with weight and speed limits before forwarding the matter to the town council.
The Cedar Fort Planning Commission voted on several land-use and procedural items at its June 10 regular meeting, approving language to create an AR‑2 (agricultural residential, 2-acre minimum) zoning text item, approving a lot‑line adjustment for the Branches of Cedar Meadows subdivision, and voting to pursue a designation and enforcement approach for heavy-truck traffic on East West Canyon Road.
Why it matters: The text change to Title 10 and the lot-line adjustment alter the town's zoning and parcel boundaries; the commission's action on the East West Canyon Road issue sends a policy recommendation to the town council that could limit heavy commercial traffic and require enforcement steps.
What the commission did
- Zoning text amendment: Commissioners voted to add section language creating an AR-2 (agricultural residential, 2‑acre minimum) zone and to add a definition for "net density" to the zoning code (Title 10). The commission noted this language had been voted on previously and voted again to ensure a clear record. The commission approved the change and will forward it to the town council for final action.
- Lot-line adjustment: The commission approved a lot-line adjustment for the Branches of Cedar Meadow (Cedar Meadows) subdivision to shift a lot line south and west to enlarge one lot within the 4-acre zone as shown on the submitted exhibit.
- East West Canyon Road: The commission voted to designate East West Canyon Road as a residential-agricultural road with proposed weight and speed restrictions and to ask the town attorney for direction on the legal and procedural steps required before forwarding a formal recommendation to the town council. Commissioners also discussed public-noticing and enforcement logistics with county and state agencies.
Procedural motions: The body also moved to table formal review of the previous meeting minutes for a later meeting.
What happens next: The commission will transmit the zoning text changes and its recommendation on East West Canyon Road to the town council for consideration; the lot-line adjustment is recorded per the commission's approval. The commission identified the town attorney as the next point to clarify posting, enforcement and any required hearings.
