Planning commission backs zone changes to match Cedar Trails master plan
Summary
The Cedar City Planning Commission recommended approval of three zone changes at 2605 South Old Highway 91 to align zoning with the previously approved Cedar Trails RDO master plan, clearing the way for single-family homes, medium‑density residential and a commercial frontage parcel.
The Cedar City Planning Commission recommended approval of three zone changes for parcels at 2605 South Old Highway 91 that will align city zoning with the Cedar Trails RDO master plan.
The recommendation, made during the commission’s public hearing, covers a change from MDP (Master Plan Development) to R21 for a largely flat area intended for single‑family homes; a matching change to R3M for a parcel intended for townhomes or apartment‑type units; and a change to Central Commercial for a narrow frontage along Old Highway 91 intended for businesses. Planning staff opened the public hearing and no members of the public spoke to the items before the commission voted to recommend approval.
Steve Kamlowski, representing Brown Consulting Engineers and the project applicant, told the commission the proposals “match the Cedar Trails RDO master plan” and described the yellow parcel as intended “to allow for single family homes,” the brown parcel for townhomes or apartment‑style units, and the pink frontage area for commercial development.
Commissioners asked about topography and impacts on adjacent BLM land. Kamlowski said the bulk of the first (yellow) parcel is “mostly flat” and that the project would not cut into the adjacent BLM hill; grading would slope down from the property line. Planning staff confirmed the requested zoning matches the RDO and said the units and densities are already locked in by the RDO.
After the public hearing closed with no public speakers, a commissioner moved for a positive recommendation on all three items; the motion was seconded and the commission voted in favor.
The commission’s recommendation now moves to the city council for final action. If the council approves the requested changes, the parcels will be rezoned to match the Cedar Trails RDO and the applicant may proceed with detailed subdivision and building permits consistent with the RDO.
