Summary
The Enoch City Council unanimously approved a development agreement for the Pinion Springs subdivision and adopted a zoning change moving three parcels from single-family to multiple-residential to permit single-story attached units while keeping overall density unchanged.
The Enoch City Council on April 1 unanimously adopted a development agreement for the Pinion Springs subdivision and approved Ordinance No. 2026-04-01-A to rezone three parcels from Single-Family Residential (R-1-11) to Multiple-Residential (M-R-2). Mayor Jim Rushton presided.
Council members and staff said the rezoning responds to market demand for single-level attached housing. City Manager Ryan Robinson told the council the change "did not involve adding any additional units to the area" and that the developer is shifting from two-story detached homes to single-story twin units to serve retirees and buyers who prefer no stairs. Tyler Melling, representing the applicant, said sharing a wall lets the developer offer approximately 1,350-square-foot single-story units while keeping the total number of residences the same.
The council also approved a development agreement for Pinion Springs after a lengthy discussion about access and phasing. The developer declined to place a specific third-access trigger into the recorded agreement; instead, the council was told access points will be reviewed and required during the phased engineering and plan-approval process. Engineer Mike Platt said the development agreement reduces potential buildable density from just under 800 units under existing zoning to 698 units under the agreement, and Council Member David Harris said that, combined with multiple UDOT-approved connections, he was comfortable with the phasing approach.
The council approved an amended road dedication plat for Enoch Boulevard and two address-correction ordinances (changing 4942 N. 10 E. to 4930 N. 26 E. and 964 E. Remington Rd. to 4913 N. 970 E.) as related administrative items. All land-use and administrative measures in this package passed on unanimous roll-call votes.
What happens next: the development agreement will be recorded and future subdivision phases and construction plans will return to staff and the city for engineering review and approval. As phases are submitted, the city said required access improvements and any engineering-driven road connections will be enforced through the plan-approval process.
