Planning commission recommends approval of Crimson Cliffs rezoning to R‑1‑8
Summary
The commission recommended approval of Z‑25‑07, rezoning about 19.13 acres at Crimson Cliffs Way and 4200 South from R‑1‑10 to R‑1‑8; staff said the general plan designation was updated to medium density and the proposal conforms to the plan.
Washington City Planning Commission on April 16 recommended that City Council approve Z‑25‑07, a request to rezone roughly 19.13 acres at Crimson Cliffs Way and 4200 South from R‑1‑10 to R‑1‑8. Staff said the city’s general plan land-use designation for the parcel had been updated to medium density (4.5–6 units per acre) on Feb. 26, 2025, and that the requested R‑1‑8 zoning is consistent with that designation.
During the brief public hearing a nearby resident asked whether the new development would include a wall and whether traffic noise would be reflected back toward existing homes. City engineer Adam Allen said the plan includes a 10-foot landscaped buffer with a wall between the new lots and 4200 South; vehicular access would come from internal subdivision streets rather than directly from 4200 South. No other public commenters spoke on the item.
Commissioner Scheel moved to recommend approval and Commissioner Anderson seconded. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to forward the recommendation to City Council: Commissioners Mitchell, Anderson, Scheel and Bullock voted aye.
The item will appear on a future City Council agenda with a positive recommendation from the Planning Commission.
