Enoch planning commission sets hearings on rezoning and RV-park code change, tables annexation amendment

The Enoch City Planning Commission on March 10 set public hearings for March 24 on two zoning items — a developer-led rezoning request and a proposed change to the city code that would remove travel-trailer and RV parks as permitted uses in several commercial zones — and tabled an amendment to the city's annexation declaration area for later consideration.

Chairman Leonard Correa led the unanimous votes. City Manager Ryan Robinson told commissioners the rezoning request covers parcels A-1037-0031-0000, A-1037-0029-0000 and A-1037-0030-0000 and involves changing roughly 1.5 acres from Single-Family Residential (R-1-11) to Multiple-Residential (M-R-2). Robinson said the Commission was being asked only to set a public hearing so staff could provide fuller materials at the March 24 meeting.

Tyler Melling, representing Velocity Development, described the proposal as a transition product between existing quarter-acre lots and denser townhomes. "We want to keep the same number of units but share a wall," Melling said, adding the developer plans roughly 20 attached "twin" homes on lots of about 7,000 square feet to allow one-level, three-bedroom homes that he said would appeal to seniors and some younger buyers. Melling said prior changes two-and-a-half years ago had reduced multifamily acreage by about three acres and that this request would restore roughly half of that acreage.

Commissioners sought clarifications about lot sizes and product type during the presentation. Commissioner Bryce Poulson asked whether the proposed smaller units were quarter-acre or half-acre; Melling explained the twin-unit lots would be about one-sixth of an acre (approximately 7,000 square feet), smaller than the adjacent quarter-acre lots.

On a separate agenda item, Robinson explained staff found that the city code currently lists RV and travel-trailer parks as permitted uses in community-commercial, regional-commercial and research/industrial park zones. The proposed amendment would remove those permitted uses so that an applicant seeking an RV park would need to rezone property to the dedicated RV zone, allowing public hearings and neighbor notification.

Chairman Correa observed the likely political sensitivity of siting an RV park on prime commercial land near the meeting location and said rezoning would provide notice to neighbors. "With a zone change requirement, the city could notify neighboring property owners," Correa said. Robinson confirmed an applicant had submitted materials for a site across the street and emphasized the amendment would not ban RV parks outright but would require a rezoning process.

The Commission also discussed an amendment to the annexation declaration area (section 3.5.3). Because the agenda did not clearly state a public hearing was being set and staff recommended additional explanation from Public Works, Commissioner Delaine Finlay moved to table the annexation-declaration amendment so the item can be properly noticed and explained at a future meeting; the motion passed unanimously.

Procedural votes earlier in the meeting approved the agenda and the February 10, 2026 minutes, and the Commission received staff reports: Public Works Director Hayden White reported recent equipment failures and said the city plans to turn on secondary irrigation April 1; City Manager Robinson said he is preparing grant applications and that the City Council will set an Arbor Day declaration.

All motions taken on March 10 passed unanimously. The hearings on the rezoning request and the RV-parks code amendment are scheduled for March 24, 2026. The annexation-declaration amendment will return for consideration after proper public notice.
