Planning commission recommends commercial zoning for three Highway 91 parcels tied to Logan–Nibley boundary adjustment
Summary
The Nibley City Planning Commission recommended commercial zoning for three parcels on South Highway 91 that Logan City intends to transfer to Nibley through a boundary adjustment. The recommendation will go to city council alongside the boundary adjustment.
The Nibley City Planning Commission recommended designation of three parcels on South Highway 91 as commercial in conjunction with a boundary adjustment transferring the properties from Logan City to Nibley City.
Staff told the commission the parcels are in Nibley’s annexation plan and are closer to Nibley City utilities than Logan City services. The applicant, who operates Canyon Landscaping, said the parcel would host a landscaping business and that commercial zoning would allow construction of a more appropriate warehouse-style facility than the current leased location.
Staff said the future land use map designates the area as commercial and recommended the commercial rezone to support the city’s economic-development goals, including maintaining a sustainable tax base and local employment.
Public comment was limited to the applicant, BJ Smith of Canyon Landscaping, who identified the business and said it has operated in the area about 12 years and intends to invest in improvements if the property is annexed and rezoned to commercial.
Commission discussion noted one adjacent residential property whose owner had signed the application; staff said it may be vacant and that the owner agreed to the application. Commissioners discussed context along the highway and agreed commercial zoning fits neighboring commercial/industrial properties.
A recommendation motion passed on a 3–0 vote; staff said both the rezone and the boundary adjustment will next go to city council for final action.
