Midway planning commission recommends Homestead Golf Cottages, two condominium buildings to City Council
Summary
The commission voted unanimously to recommend City Council approval of The Homestead Golf Cottages and Homes — five single-family homes and two lodging condominium buildings totaling about 2.69 acres at 700 North Homestead Drive — and approved a plat amendment to set building locations and ownership configuration.
The Midway City Planning Commission on June 9 recommended that City Council approve a resort development called The Homestead Golf Cottages and Homes, a roughly 2.69-acre phase of The Homestead containing five detached single-family homes and two lodging condominium buildings with eight units each at 700 North Homestead Drive. The commission made the recommendation after staff said the proposal complies with The Homestead Master Plan on density, building area, height, water‑right dedication and setback requirements.
Commission staff also presented a landscape plan intended to prevent through vehicular traffic between the new development and The Links while preserving pedestrian and emergency access from the cul‑de‑sac to the condominium buildings. Parking for the lodging units will be provided in the main resort parking areas rather than adjacent to the new buildings; a condition of the commission’s recommendation requires removal of three cul‑de‑sac parking stalls as described in an agreement between The Links HOA and The Homestead.
During the public-comment portion of the discussion, Mitch Cato, treasurer of The Links Homeowners Association, voiced support for the proposal and cited the agreement to remove the three cul‑de‑sac stalls. Paul Berg, agent for The Homestead Group LLC, confirmed the three stalls would be removed from the final plans.
Commissioner Travis Nokes moved to recommend approval to City Council with three conditions, including removal of the three cul‑de‑sac parking stalls; Commissioner Kim Facer seconded. The motion passed with votes from Commissioners Nokes, Facer, Farrell, Knight and Lineback and no dissent. The commission’s recommendation and the plat amendment establishing building locations and condominium ownership will be forwarded to Midway City Council for final action.
Staff noted the project is expected to expand the resort tax base and tourism-related economic activity. Questions raised by commissioners included short‑term rental enforcement; staff said that restriction is controlled through the development agreement and the Homestead CC&Rs.
Next steps: City Council will receive the commission’s recommendation and consider the final approval and the Lot 2 Second Amendment plat at a future council meeting; no council date was specified in the record.
