Kaysville staff preview master-plan-community zone, Mink Farm rezones, farm-stand CUP and small-area plan grant
Summary
Kaysville planning staff told commissioners on March 13 they are preparing a new master-plan-community zone for large properties and previewed upcoming Mink Farm rezones, a farm-stand conditional-use permit, and a small-area plan grant-funded water-element update.
KAYSVILLE, Utah — Kaysville planning staff on March 13 told the Planning Commission they are preparing a new master-plan-community zone intended to allow flexible, mixed-lot developments on large parcels and briefed commissioners on several upcoming items: a rezone for the Mink Farm property that would split the site into townhome and light-industrial areas, a farm-stand conditional use permit that recently passed City Council, and a small-area plan kickoff with a state grant to update the water element.
Master-plan-community zone: Staff said they have completed a draft of a proposed master-plan-community (MPC) zoning category designed for property 20 acres or larger and intended for the city's few large parcels — including the Symphony property near Sunset and another parcel off Angel Street. The MPC draft would allow flexibility by setting many project-specific standards through a development agreement and would require pre-application materials such as traffic analysis, concept plans and a draft development agreement. Staff recommended bringing the draft to the next meeting for discussion and scheduling a public hearing in April, but noted April scheduling is constrained because the city has only one Planning Commission meeting in April (April 24) due to City Council spring-break scheduling.
Mink Farm rezones: Staff said the Holland Group purchased the Mink Farm property (near 950 North and the West Davis Corridor exit) and will seek rezones at the April 24 meeting. The eastern half of the parcel is proposed for RM (multifamily) with a development agreement to specify townhomes; the western half is proposed for light industrial. Staff said public notices will be mailed to nearby Kaysville and Farmington residents — including extended noticing beyond the usual buffer — because of the parcel's size and proximity to neighbors.
Farm-stand CUP and minutes: Staff reported a conditional use permit for a farm stand recently passed City Council and said the commission will see that CUP as an agenda item. The commission also approved its Feb. 13 minutes by voice vote.
Small-area plan and water element grant: Staff said a kickoff meeting was held for a small-area plan and that weekly meetings will follow. They also reported receiving a $15,000 grant from the Division of Water to support the water-element update for the general plan; staff said the water-element amendment must be completed by December and will be among the commission's priorities this year.
Process notes: Staff emphasized the MPC zone draft aims to provide an alternate pathway for larger developments that wish to use a development agreement to set site-specific standards rather than a conventional zone table. Staff also said they will distribute notices and work to avoid prior mistakes in mail noticing for large acreage rezones.
Speakers named in the record for these items include Melinda (planning staff), Chair Packer, and references to the Holland Group and a Farmington resident who contacted staff. Direct quotes in this article are taken from the meeting transcript.
