Planning commission approves R‑3 recommendation for 1112 South Lloyd to allow townhomes
Summary
The commission voted to recommend rezoning 1112 South Lloyd to R‑3 for a proposed 20‑unit townhome project; developer said units would be for sale with two‑car garages and staff noted required parking and landscape standards.
Fruit Heights planners voted to forward a recommendation to rezone 1112 South Lloyd from commercial to R‑3 to permit a proposed for‑sale, 20‑unit townhome development. City staff described the concept as up to 21 units maximum under R‑3; the developer asked for 20 three‑story townhomes with two‑car garages and designated guest parking. Staff said 31 parking stalls would be required and the preliminary concept includes two access points off Lloyd Road and Hidden Valley Drive.
Developer Rick Skadden said the project aims at “the missing middle” and emphasized quality architecture and open space; he described the product as three‑story units with two‑car garages and suggested the price point might approach levels that could enable some moderate‑income ownership units. Several neighbors raised concerns about density, traffic and lack of nearby play space for children; others said the existing commercial parcel has a long history of calls for redevelopment and that a sensitive design could improve the area.
After a period of public comment and commission deliberation, the planning commission approved a motion recommending the R‑3 rezoning to the City Council. The developer and staff will return with a detailed site plan and the commission indicated it expects to consider parking, access and other design details at that later stage.
