Planning commission recommends Park Place Phase 5 rezone and development agreement to City Council with infrastructure review
Summary
The commission recommended City Council approval of a development agreement and rezone to R‑2.5 for Park Place Phase 5 (three single-family lots) and added a staff-direction amendment to confirm the infrastructure analysis applies to R‑2.5; the recommendation passed 5–0 and will go to City Council next Tuesday.
The South Jordan Planning Commission on Feb. 24 voted to recommend City Council approval of the Park Place Phase 5 land-use amendment, rezone to R‑2.5, and associated development agreement for property at 11011 South 1055 West.
Planning staff described a proposal to create three single-family lots (two new homes plus an existing Lot 1), extend New Berkshire Lane to provide improved access and a secondary emergency ingress/egress, and make limited setback modifications through the development agreement. "This is the Park Place phase 5 land use amendment and rezone," staff said, noting the development agreement provides predictability for how the site will develop.
Applicant Derek Rundel Spacher of Bock Homes told the commission the developer will construct a six-foot trail to connect the new road to the Beckstead Canal Trail and expects CC&Rs to match earlier Park Place phases. "The development agreement specifies that we are to construct a 6 foot trail from 1055 all the way to the end of that and connect it to Beckstead Trail," he said.
A neighborhood resident, Milo Tenney, testified he is concerned about opening 1055 West to through traffic because the existing road is narrow and sometimes requires drivers to pull over to let vehicles pass. Commissioners and staff discussed mixed public/private ownership of sections of 1055 West and acknowledged possible easement questions could complicate future changes.
Commissioner Simonson flagged a zoning label discrepancy in the packet (A1.8 vs. R‑2.5); staff acknowledged the typo and the commission amended the motion to direct staff to verify the infrastructure analysis applies to R‑2.5. Commissioner Harding moved that the commission recommend City Council approve resolution R2026‑4 (development agreement) and R2026‑5 (land-use amendment to R‑2.5); the amended motion passed 5–0. Staff said the City Council will hear the item the following Tuesday.
The recommendation advances the zoning change and development agreement to the City Council, where elected officials will make the final decision.
