Draper planning commission approves Lone Peak Canyon lot consolidation

The Draper City Planning Commission voted to approve an amended subdivision plat to consolidate two lots into a single lot at 14691 South Canyon Peak Drive, application 2024-0074-SUB. Chair Andrew Adams opened the item and staff planner Todd Taylor described the proposal to combine Lots 40 and 41 into a new Lot 73, approximately 1.07 acres in the Suncrest area.

Todd Taylor told commissioners the land use designation is residential medium density, the zoning is multiple-dwelling residential, and staff recommended three conditions of approval. Taylor said those conditions include vacating the internal public utility easements as outlined in the staff report, abandoning a previously stubbed iron-fence connection to the lot, and submitting a current title report at the time of recordation. "The internal public utility easements would be vacated but the other utility or easements would remain," Taylor said.

Applicant Pratt Diamond acknowledged the required fence work had already been completed. Commissioner Mary moved to approve the amended subdivision plat "based on the following findings for approval and subject to the requirements as listed in the staff report dated 10/14/2024," and Commissioner Kendra seconded. Chair Adams put the motion to a roll-call style voice vote; the commissioners recorded votes in favor and the motion carried.

Why it matters: the amendment consolidates two residential lots into a single parcel in a Suncrest neighborhood, which changes ownership and utility easement arrangements and requires staff conditions to ensure title and easement issues are cleared before final recordation. The commission’s action was approval with the staff-recommended conditions; staff will guide the applicant on next procedural steps toward recording the amended plat.
