Planning panel recommends vacating Price Business and Industrial Park subdivision after owners cite cost of development

The Price City Planning and Zoning Commission voted Feb. 23 to approve Resolution No. 2026-3PZ recommending vacation of the Price Business and Industrial Park Subdivision located between Airport Road and 300 North at 1900 E Airport Road.

At a public hearing, property owner Kim Martino asked on behalf of the subdivision’s owners to “dissolve the lot lines within the subdivision and turn it back into 10-acre parcels and also vacate the plats,” saying further development would be too expensive. Commissioner Todd Thorne asked staff to correct language in the resolution that referred to “one” parcel, noting the roadway and drainage dedications bisect the property and that two parcels are identified in the action; the motion to approve, including that clarification, carried.

Jeff Richens of the Price River Improvement District told the commission the subdivision had “no connected service,” a technical point commissioners discussed while considering the request. The transcript records no vote counts beyond the motion carrying; the resolution was approved by motion of Commissioner Thorne and second by Commissioner Renee Swinburne.

The recommendation vacates the subdivision plats and reflects the owners’ request to return the land to larger parceling (10-acre parcels); the record does not specify subsequent administrative or council steps or an effective date. The commission’s action was recorded in its minutes and will be reflected in the official record for further processing by city staff.
