Council hears plan for 21-townhome development at 5548 W 4100 S amid parking and private-street concerns
Summary
Staff and the applicant presented a revised concept for 21 townhomes (mix of two- and three-story units) under a proposed general-plan and zone change at 5548 West 4100 South. The council pressed the applicant on private-street design, parking counts (14 shown vs. 15 expected under code), and potential traffic access to 4100 South.
Community Development staff described the revised GPZ32026 application for 5548 West 4100 South and noted the application had been altered after planning commission feedback to reduce heights along the east side of the site. The current concept shows 21 units (two-story on the east, three-story on the west) and a request for some code exceptions related to setbacks, heights and a private-street configuration; staff emphasized the design aimed to buffer neighboring homes and retain appropriate setbacks.
During council questioning, members focused on parking and private-street issues. Staff noted the code-required parking ratio (4.75 stalls per unit) would yield about 15 stalls but the concept shows 14, with the applicant pointing to on-street or adjacent parking opportunities. The council expressed strong reservations about permitting private streets that shift enforcement to an HOA and asked the applicant to produce an alternative showing what would be lost if the street were configured as a public thoroughfare.
