Planning commission approves consent items, recommends denial for Wellsville rezone; continues WiFiber tower rezone
Summary
At its May 8 meeting the Cache County Planning Commission approved consent items and a subdivision extension, recommended denial of the Wellsville Safe Storage rezone to county council and continued the WiFiber/Summit Storage rezone for up to 90 days to allow site relocation and setback work. The commission also recommended approval of the Richmond City Creek rezone.
The Cache County Planning Commission on May 8 approved a set of routine agenda items, recommended denial of a commercial rezone in Wellsville and continued a controversial rezone tied to a proposed wireless tower.
The commission voted to approve consent items including a Creekside Estates second amendment and the Skyline Meadow Subdivision, a three-lot subdivision whose staff report said Lot 3 will be 12 acres and requires an approved water right before plat recordation. Planning staff (Connor) told commissioners the road would access off 1800 West and that Cache County Fire District had no comments; the motions carried on voice votes.
Commissioners also approved a request to extend the Nautica Subdivision first-amendment to allow time to obtain a missing homeowners-association signature and record the plat. Staff acknowledged the delay arose after a county council motion to transfer a road from private to public delayed the HOA signature.
On larger matters, the commission voted to recommend denial to county council for the Wellsville Safe Storage LLC rezone, a request to change about 8 acres from agricultural to commercial. Commissioner 9 moved to recommend denial, citing corridor-preservation and access concerns; the motion passed and will be forwarded to county council for final action.
The commission recommended approval of the Richmond City Creek rezone, a request to rezone roughly 7.58 acres near Highway 91 to allow industrial-supportive uses; staff noted UDOT access constraints and said the city of Richmond raised no concerns.
Finally, the body continued the WiFiber/Summit Storage rezone for up to 90 days to allow the applicant and landowner to explore placing the relocated tower on a different part of the parcel and to address setback and height issues before a conditional-use or variance application.
The commission also discussed proposed code changes (geotechnical exemption thresholds and a surface-fault-rupture study zone) and asked staff to return with refinements.
The commission’s formal recommendations will go to County Council where rezonings receive final consideration.
