Planning commission approves two-family lot split at Cathay Circle
Summary
The Taylorsville Planning Commission unanimously approved a subdivision plat amendment to allow a two-family lot split at 4717 and 4719 South Cathay Circle, subject to conditions including a firewall permit and removal or modification of a covered patio that encroached on the rear setback.
The Taylorsville Planning Commission voted unanimously July 8 to approve a subdivision plat amendment allowing a two-family lot split for properties at 4717 and 4719 South Cathay Circle (File 4S25, SUB-000525-2025), with conditions staff identified before final recording.
Planner Terryne Bergeson told commissioners the site is zoned R-2-8, which permits a two-family home on lots of at least 8,000 square feet and twin homes on smaller lots meeting dimensional standards. Bergeson flagged two outstanding technical items: a required firewall separation between buildings and a covered patio that the survey showed to be 1.2 feet from the rear property line — short of the 5-foot setback required by code. Staff recommended approval contingent on completing the building/firewall permit and revising plans to address the patio setback prior to final plat recording.
Applicant Michael Williams confirmed he would remove the covered patio and update plans as required. Williams also told the commission he intended to occupy one side of the duplex. Commissioner David Wright moved to approve the file with the staff conditions; Commissioner Don Quigley seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
The approval allows the property owner to move ahead with the lot split and associated building permits once the listed conditions are satisfied; no members of the public spoke in opposition at the hearing.
