Roy City planning commission nominates Ryan Kelly as chair, Jason as vice chair; to revisit parking ordinance in work session
Summary
At the Feb. 10 meeting the commission nominated Ryan Kelly for chair and Jason for vice chair (each unopposed), discussed placing the council's recent parking-ordinance decision on a planning-commission work session for possible public hearing, and heard staff updates on forthcoming projects including Agora Heights and Golden West Credit Union.
During the Feb. 10 Roy City Planning Commission meeting, staff opened annual nominations for commission leadership. A commissioner nominated Ryan Kelly for chair; no other nominees were offered and the nomination was closed. A separate nomination for vice chair named "Jason"; again, no other nominees were presented and the nomination was closed. Commissioners did not take a contested roll-call vote because each nominee was unopposed.
In commissioner minutes, an acting commissioner raised concerns about the process by which the city council recently adopted a parking ordinance, saying the commission did not have a public hearing opportunity and asking that the commission put discussion of the parking ordinance on an upcoming work session to consider whether to hold a public hearing. "I would like to maybe bring that back and just have a discussion in the work session, as a planning commission to see if we want to look at that at all and maybe hold a public hearing," the presiding commissioner said.
One commissioner commented on a newly formed government watchdog group, noting the role such groups play in accountability while cautioning against speculation or defamation. "Let's just keep the mud out of it," the commissioner said, urging members to stick to verified facts.
Staff updates reported several projects progressing in Roy: Agora Heights (near KFC on roughly 5450 South) has plans stamped and may schedule a pre-construction meeting soon, and Golden West Credit Union has submitted plans and can proceed once departmental approvals are complete. Staff also said there are other potential developments under discussion but did not identify them.
No formal votes resolving the parking-ordinance question were recorded; staff and commissioners indicated the matter would be placed on a future work session for further discussion.
