Council approves rezoning for Lagoon administration parking expansion
Summary
Farmington City Council unanimously approved rezoning about 0.6 acres from Buffer to Commercial Recreation Transition at 510 N. 200 West so Lagoon can expand employee parking; council asked staff to review landscaping along the trail and staff said a security guard will manage gate traffic.
The Farmington City Council on March 3 approved a zone change to allow expanded employee parking at Lagoon’s administration site at 510 N. 200 West.
City Planner and GIS Specialist Shannon Hansell presented the request to rezone approximately 0.6 acres from Buffer (B) to Commercial Recreation Transition (CRT) to accommodate additional employee parking. Hansell said the requested zone is consistent with surrounding zoning and supports Lagoon’s need for staff parking. Councilmember Kristen Sherlock raised concerns that a visible parking area near the trail could detract from the trail experience and asked for a landscaped buffer; Hansell said staff would look into the issue.
Applicant Dustin Allen, a Farmington resident representing Lagoon, said the level of employee traffic would be similar to past patterns and that a security guard would open and close the gate to manage traffic. "A security guard will open and close the gate. The station will be manned, so if there is a traffic problem, the guard can direct traffic," Allen said.
Councilmember Roger Child moved to approve the enabling ordinance for the zone change from B to CRT; Kristen Sherlock seconded the motion. The council voted unanimously in favor and the motion passed.
The council did not attach additional conditions in the meeting record; staff said they would follow up on landscaping and other site details through the Planning Department and related permitting.
