Council approves rezoning for 1750 S. Geneva Road with a development agreement
Summary
Council rezoned a roughly 4.43-acre parcel at 1750 S. Geneva Road from OS-5 to C-2 subject to a development agreement that narrows permitted uses, sets earliest operation times and binds the submitted concept plan; a neighbor raised drainage and master-plan concerns that will be reviewed during site-plan/engineering review.
The council approved an application to rezone roughly 4.43 acres at or near 1750 South Geneva Road from OS-5 (open space/farm) to C-2 (community commercial) with a development agreement that limits certain C-2 uses and establishes a concept plan the applicant agreed to follow.
Planning staff explained the request grew out of right-of-way acquisitions that would isolate a leftover parcel that is no longer viable for the prior agricultural uses. The applicant’s concept — branded in materials as the “Johnson Farm” — shows several small retail buildings, farm-themed architecture, and access limited to the old Geneva Road per UDOT requirements.
A nearby resident raised concerns about drainage, the timing of the Geneva Road drain work and the need to coordinate with the Lakebottom Irrigation Company. Planning staff said engineering will review drainage in the subsequent site-plan and permit process, and that the general plan already designates commercial use for this location.
Council action: after public comment and staff responses, the council voted to approve the rezoning subject to the development agreement and the planning commission’s recommended list of restricted uses. The development agreement includes limits on hours (earliest start ~5 a.m.), prohibits certain uses that would be incompatible with the adjacent area, and requires site‑plan review to finalize engineering and drainage mitigation.
Next steps: engineering and site-plan review will examine drainage and access in detail; impact fees and required infrastructure will be addressed during those permitting steps.
