Draper council approves rezoning of ~0.75 acre (Norman property) to allow a four‑lot subdivision
Summary
After a staff report, the applicant described plans to subdivide roughly 2.2–2.3 acres into four lots accessed by a 35‑ft private lane; council approved ordinances 16‑21 and 16‑22 to amend the land‑use and zoning maps for the 0.75‑acre parcel (vote 4–0).
City planning staff presented ordinances 16‑21 and 16‑22 to change approximately 0.75 acres of property from residential low‑medium density to residential medium density and to rezone the site from RA‑2 (20,000‑sq‑ft minimum) to R‑3 (13,000‑sq‑ft minimum). Mary Ann Pickering summarized the property location near Summit Academy and said the Planning Commission recommended approval.
An applicant speaking at the public hearing identified himself as a Draper real‑estate agent (name not given in the transcript) and said he and his brother (a local builder) intend to subdivide the contiguous parcel into four lots accessed by a 35‑ft private lane, creating higher‑value homes and increased property tax revenue. “It’ll be around 2.2, 2.3 total acres for 4 lots,” the applicant said. Council members asked about private‑lane width and subdivision standards; staff explained a private lane serving up to five lots can be built as a 24‑ft asphalt section plus gutters.
Council Member Lowery moved to approve ordinances 16‑21 and 16‑22; the motion was seconded and the council approved the ordinances by a unanimous vote of 4 to 0. The ordinances change the official land‑use designation and rezone the parcel as described; the developer said the two adjacent properties would retain different zones as part of the combined subdivision plan.
