Commission approves conditional‑use permit for single‑family home in CE‑5 zone at 1873 N. Fort Canyon Rd.
Summary
The commission approved a conditional‑use permit for a single‑family dwelling at 1873 North Fort Canyon Road in the CE‑5 critical environment zone, subject to meeting engineering, utility and ordinance requirements including minimum firefighting pressure.
The Alpine City Planning Commission voted unanimously March 3 to approve a conditional use permit to reconstruct a single‑family home at 1873 North Fort Canyon Road. Staff explained the lot sits in the CE‑5 (critical environment) zone where single‑family dwellings are a conditional use, and legal review found the parcel is a legal lot rather than an illegal nonconforming lot.
Ryan Robinson told commissioners the city attorney and staff reviewed code and the CE‑5 district contains no minimum lot area in the ordinance; instead, a single‑family dwelling is treated as a conditional use in that zone. Commissioners discussed utility availability, setbacks (including corner‑lot considerations), and a utility requirement noted in code for sufficient culinary and firefighting water pressure (not less than 40 PSI). Commissioner Troy Slade moved to approve the conditional use subject to compliance with engineering, utility and ordinance requirements; the motion passed unanimously. Staff will ensure the applicant meets utility, setback and any other building requirements prior to permitting.
