Commission recommends R‑3 rezoning for 1.7‑acre parcel near West Davis Corridor; variance may be required for additional lots
Summary
The planning commission recommended rezoning a 1.7‑acre parcel at approximately 3281 West 700 South from R‑1 to R‑3. Staff noted that intersection‑spacing standards could limit lots unless a variance is approved.
The Syracuse City Planning Commission voted to recommend that City Council rezone a 1.7‑acre parcel at approximately 3281 West 700 South from R‑1 to R‑3.
Noah, a city staff member, said the site is near the terminus of the West Davis Corridor and that surrounding recently developed parcels include R‑2 and R‑3 zoning. He told the commission the property could support more lots if a public road with the required intersection spacing can be provided; otherwise the parcel could be developed with two lots without a variance.
Chelsea Young, a resident who lives near the cul‑de‑sac behind the church, asked whether R‑3 zoning would permit apartments; staff replied that R‑3 allows single‑family residential types (not apartments) under city code. "If it's R‑3, it is single family residential," staff said on the record.
Staff and commissioners noted a Bureau of Reclamation water‑line easement and a trailhead/parking area nearby. The city engineer has flagged intersection separation standards (385 feet required based on speed/travel time) that could require a variance if an applicant wants more than two lots and a new road connection.
After discussion the commission moved to recommend approval to the City Council; final development details (including any variance requests) would be addressed at preliminary‑plat review.
