Planning commission approves Daybreak Urban Center plat amendment to allow single mixed-use building with enclosed parking
Summary
The South Jordan Planning Commission unanimously approved Daybreak Urban Center Plat 1 Amendment 2 to combine two lots into a single lot for a mixed-use building with enclosed parking to meet residential and commercial parking needs. Staff said a council vacation of easements must occur before construction.
The South Jordan Planning Commission on March 10 unanimously approved Daybreak Urban Center Plat 1 Amendment 2, allowing two existing lots to be combined into one site so a single mixed-use building can be constructed with enclosed parking sized to serve both commercial tenants and residential units.
Vice Chair Brian Farnsworth presided over the meeting. Planning staff presented the amendment, saying the combined lot is needed because the proposed structure will span both current lots and include ground-floor commercial space, apartments above and an internal parking structure. "The combined mix of uses proposed for the future building will require a certain amount of parking that needs to be located on one site," the staff presenter stated, and recommended approval.
Commissioners asked staff to clarify where the parking structure sits within the building and why sidewalk easements shown on the recorded plat did not appear on the amended plat. Staff said the parking is primarily on the north end of the building with some central access, that an easement/right-of-way vacation is in process and that the developer cannot construct until the easements are vacated. Staff said the council had postponed the matter from March 17 and it is scheduled for the April 7 city council meeting.
Alex Thorne, a resident who provided public comment, asked staff about a separate property he and a partner are exploring; staff directed him to Planning Director Brian Preece for rezoning and general-plan amendment questions. Thorne’s remarks were not specific to the plat amendment before the commission.
On a motion based on the staff report and the evening’s discussion, the commission voted unanimously to approve the amendment (roll-call approval recorded). The staff report noted the building’s design is intended to enclose parking so the structure does not appear as a standalone parking garage.
Next steps: staff indicated the applicant must complete right-of-way/easement vacations before construction permits can be issued; those vacations are scheduled for city council consideration on April 7 following the March postponement.
