Council approves Phase 1 development agreement for Amasa Apartments; 50 affordable units noted
Summary
Moab City Council approved a Phase 1 development agreement for Amasa Apartments LLC for parcel 01‑0001‑0200 (57 West Kane Creek Blvd), with staff noting 50 affordable units in phase one and several concessions including reduced setbacks and parking reductions; Councilmember Loftin recused.
The Moab City Council on Feb. 24 approved a Phase 1 development agreement for Amasa Apartments LLC covering parcel 01‑0001‑0200 at 57 West Kane Creek Boulevard. The motion to approve was made by Councilmember Kaitlin Myers, seconded by Councilmember Tawny Knutson‑Boyd, and passed 3-0 with Councilmember Miles Loftin recused for a potential conflict of interest.
City staff (Community Development Director Cory Shurtleff and Associate Planner Johanna Blanco) described that the omnibus development agreement provides concessions for the affordable housing project, including reduced front yard setbacks, a waiver of the city’s Active Employment Household requirement based on project financing, a custom approval process, and reduced parking requirements for different phases. Blanco indicated that 50 affordable housing units would be provided in phase one. Councilmember Jason Taylor voiced concern about parking; applicant Amanda Dillon said she believed the final design would provide more parking than the current proposal anticipates.
The agreement covers the first phase of the larger Amasa project and formalizes the concessions and review process; the minutes do not list a construction timeline beyond council questions asking about timing. The decision advances a project that staff and council described as addressing affordable housing needs in the city.
