Council approves rezone at 615 Fox Meadow Drive to allow veterinarian clinic
Summary
Pleasant View City Council rezoned about 1.03 acres at 615 Fox Meadow Drive from CP-1 to CP-2 to permit a veterinarian clinic; the decision followed a public hearing where neighbors asked about conditional-use protections, access and traffic; the measure passed 5-0 as Ordinance 2026-1.
Pleasant View City Council on Jan. 13 approved Ordinance 2026-1 to rezone roughly 1.03 acres at 615 Fox Meadow Drive from Planned Commercial CP-1 to CP-2 to accommodate a proposed veterinary clinic. The vote was 5-0 after a public hearing and council consideration.
Planner Tammy Eveson told the council the rezone is intended to allow a veterinarian clinic as a conditional use, with a boundary adjustment to combine lots. During the hearing, attendee Elaine Pitcher asked, “what does a conditional use mean?” City staff member Andrea Z. Steiniger responded: “it’s a permitted use but put on conditions.” Mary Williams, president of the Fox Meadows HOA, asked about access points; Steiniger said she met with UDOT and that “there is no access off 2700 N. 600 W is our access.” Applicant Daniel Harris said he was under contract to purchase the property and clarified, “We are under contract to purchase and build a business for household animals. It is not a pet ambulance.”
Neighbors raised concerns that a rezoning to CP-2 could allow other commercial uses if the veterinary clinic did not come to fruition. Debra White said she was concerned the CP-2 zoning “opens it up to undesirable businesses.” Mayor Steve Gibson acknowledged the concern but said the city’s process includes conditions tied to conditional-use permits and staff review. After closing the public hearing, Councilmember David Marriott moved approval and the council adopted the ordinance on a roll call vote of 5-0.
The decision changes the property’s land-use designation and allows the next step of conditional-use permitting and site planning; any future specific uses beyond the veterinary clinic would still be subject to review under CP-2 rules and any conditions attached by the planning commission or council.
