Planning commission unanimously approves consolidation of two lots at 3303 South 460 East

The South Salt Lake Planning Commission unanimously approved a preliminary subdivision plat to combine two parcels at 3303 South 460 East into a single lot.

City planner Jed (staff) told the commission the parcels are zoned R‑1, where the minimum lot size for a new lot is 6,000 square feet, and that combining the two parcels will create a developable parcel. He said the plat shows a required road dedication to meet engineering standards and that appropriate easements will be recorded.

Applicant Jeremiah Larson, who said he represents the property owner and lives in West Jordan, told the commission there is no current proposal to rezone the property and that the immediate goal is to consolidate the lots so a conforming single‑family home could be built in the future. "As of right now, we are not moving to rezone or or change that," Larson said.

Commissioners asked whether rezoning might follow, and staff replied that rezoning would depend on the applicant's future plans; staff said there was no present intention to change the R‑1 designation. No members of the public spoke during the public hearing for this item.

Commissioner South (mover) put forward the motion to approve the preliminary subdivision plat “based on the findings and conclusions in the staff report with the conditions enumerated in the staff report and on the record.” Commissioner Peschman seconded. The motion carried with a unanimous vote of the commission members present.

The approval applies only to the preliminary plat; staff noted there is no specific development proposal linked to this plat at the time of the hearing. If and when a development application is filed, that proposal will be evaluated separately against zoning and building standards.

Planning staff recorded that the plat reduces nonconforming lots in the R‑1 zone and advances the city’s neighborhood goal of enhancing livability of existing residential areas.
