Summary

The Planning Commission recommended approval of a general plan amendment and approved rezonings that change roughly 154 acres to mixed‑use and about 51.6 acres to general manufacturing for the Crossing at Willow Creek; commissioners said detailed legal descriptions and traffic mitigation will follow.

The Grantsville Planning Commission on Feb. 3 recommended approval of a general plan amendment and approved several related rezonings for the Crossing at Willow Creek, a multi‑parcel development west of the Motorsports Park along SR‑112.

Phil, the Community Development director, framed the proposal as a response to changing land‑use conditions around the Motorsports Park and nearby Romney Group property and said the general plan change would reflect the community’s goals for the next 20 years. "When we adopt a general plan that reflects the will of the people for the next 20 years," he said, the map guides future development decisions.

Developers’ representatives said they have been coordinating with UDOT on access. Kevin Lunds, a partial owner and contractor representative, told the commission UDOT has approved one traffic signal and a right‑in/right‑out entrance at SR‑112 and that the team is seeking a second full signal: "They have approved one light ... and then a right in and right out," he said. A representative also confirmed a traffic study has been completed to inform future site plans.

Commissioners emphasized that approving the plan and the rezones does not approve final site plans or entitlements. Several commissioners stressed the need for detailed "meets and bounds" legal descriptions and potential traffic‑mitigation conditions to be resolved before City Council action on final development plans.

Motions recommending approval of the general plan amendment and approving the rezones to General Manufacturing (approx. 51.6 acres) and Mixed Use (approx. 102.4 acres) passed by voice vote. The commission closed the items after recording its recommendations and noted staff will refine legal descriptions and conditions before forwarding the items to the Council.
