Commission sends positive recommendation for Norman property rezoning and land-use change
Summary
The commission forwarded positive recommendations to the city council for a land-use map amendment and a zoning map amendment that would change a parcel near 13200 South and 1300 East from RA2 (20,000 sf minimum) to R3 (13,000 sf minimum) to allow a two-lot subdivision; neighbors raised concerns about density and access.
The Draper Planning Commission voted to forward positive recommendations to the City Council for a land-use map amendment and a zoning map amendment requested by Sam Norman for the parcel at approximately 1201 East, 13200 South (applications 2024-0278-MA and 2024-0255-MA). Mary Anne Pickering, the staff contact, explained the change shifts the lot from RA2 (Residential Agricultural, 20,000-square-foot minimum) to R3 (Residential, 13,000-square-foot minimum), enabling a potential subdivision into two lots to match family-owned lots to the west.
Applicant Sam Norman said the intent is to build a personal home on an interior lot and that the existing front house could remain or eventually be removed depending on lot layout. Neighbors at the hearing expressed concerns about neighborhood character, access width and the potential for greater density. J Michael Burrows warned of possible additional lots if other nearby approvals occur, saying the change "could lead to 6 to 8 homes" in a worst-case scenario; commissioners and staff explained access constraints and that, as presented, the change would yield at most one additional home on the parcel. Commissioners found the demonstrated plan and staff findings sufficient to recommend approval to the City Council.
