Ivins planning commission recommends rezoning for 10.69-acre parcel at 800 West Old Highway 91
Summary
The Ivins City Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of a concurrent map amendment to consolidate several zoning classifications and designate the 10.69-acre parcel at about 800 West Old Highway 91 as R‑2 10 (R210). The recommendation moves to the City Council for final action.
The Ivins City Planning Commission on April 29 recommended approval of a concurrent map amendment to change multiple existing land‑use and zoning designations on about 10.69 acres at approximately 800 West Old Highway 91 to an R‑2 10 (R210) zone.
Staff told the commission the application is complete and, in staff’s view, is consistent with the Ivins City General Plan and Ivins City Code (staff cited Ivins City Code 16.06.102 in the report). Adam Allen of American Consulting and Engineering, representing owner Lewis Carnesale, said the proposal would allow twin‑home lots sized to match nearby higher‑density parcels while preserving a neighborhood appearance and offering more attainable housing options.
The commission’s discussion focused on map labeling and on the parcel’s mixed zoning edges. Commissioners asked staff to confirm that a narrow sliver of higher‑density zoning occurs along the parcel’s east edge and requested that the applicant update plan sheets showing the correct zone label (R210, not RE210) before final submittal. Staff said the parcel contains a ravine with a buffer and that a sensitive‑lands review will apply if the amendment proceeds.
No members of the public testified in the hearing. Commissioners cited compatibility with surrounding zones and the general plan when moving to recommend approval. The motion passed unanimously; commissioners recorded their votes as follows: Commissioner Waite — aye; Commissioner Robinson — aye; Commissioner Clifford — aye; Commissioner Brown — aye; Chair — aye. Staff said the commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to the Ivins City Council; the council hearing date mentioned in the meeting was May 15.
The petition summary and next steps: the application requests a concurrent map amendment from low‑density residential (LDR) and high‑density residential (HDR) land‑use designations and from RA‑5 and R‑1‑5 lot standards to an R‑2‑10 zoning designation on roughly 10.69 acres. Staff advised the commission that final plan materials must correct the zone label and include any required sensitive‑lands buffering and reviews prior to the council hearing.
