Commission approves development agreement amendment and rezoning first reading for Sunset Strip; city moves to buy two adjacent properties
Summary
The commission approved a first amendment to a Sunset Strip development agreement and a first‑reading rezoning amendment tied to affordability for 1577 Sunset Strip, and later approved purchase of 1190 and 1200 Sunset Strip properties; applicants waived full quasi‑judicial hearings and staff said building demolition is expected after permits are issued.
The Sunrise City Commission on Nov. 12 approved multiple items tied to redevelopment on Sunset Strip, including a development‑agreement amendment, a first‑reading rezoning amendment addressing affordability, and a resolved plan to purchase two adjacent parcels for future use.
At the start of the meeting the commission handled a quasi‑judicial consent item for the Sunset Strip project after the applicant, Tim Hernandez, waived a full hearing. Commissioners then voted to approve a resolution (item 12b) authorizing a first amendment to the development agreement between the city and New Urban Sunset Strip Lehi; no affected parties appeared and the item passed on a 5–0 roll call.
The commission then conducted first reading of an ordinance amending a rezoning condition tied to affordability for property at 1577 Sunset Strip. The applicant again waived a full quasi‑judicial hearing; staff indicated concurrence and no members of the public spoke. The ordinance passed first reading.
Later in the meeting, the commission approved a resolution authorizing city staff to execute a purchase and sale agreement for parcels at 1190 and 1200 Sunset Strip (folio numbers recorded in the agenda). City staff told the commission the existing building on the purchased parcel is not usable and the expectation is to demolish and preserve the land for future use; the vote passed 5–0.
Commissioners asked applicant and staff about demolition and neighbor notice. Dennis Meeley, speaking for the applicant, said the team has submitted building permits and demolition will follow permit issuance; he agreed to coordinate resident notifications for nearby phases and lakefront homeowners.
What’s next: staff will record approvals, coordinate permit and demolition timing with the developer, and provide neighbors with construction notice plans. The rezoning item at 1577 Sunset Strip remains at first reading and will return per ordinance procedures.
