Council approves three zone changes to encourage mixed-use redevelopment on downtown block
Summary
Council approved three related zone-change ordinances to move several parcels on a single downtown block toward Combined Use (CU-2), allowing more residential options and limited commercial uses; staff said the moves are intended to 'candy stripe' commercial pods and encourage modest redevelopment.
Nephi City Council on July 21 approved three related zone-change ordinances for contiguous parcels on a downtown block, moving properties from Central Commercial or R‑1‑8 to Combined Use CU‑2 to allow a mix of residential and limited commercial activity. Staff described the change as intended to encourage redevelopment compatible with surrounding uses and to diversify commercial pods along main corridors.
Staff said the rezones would permit uses such as storage units for nearby residents, potential condominiumization of existing quadplexes, and small-business opportunities that align with the parcel context. "We think this will prompt a larger look at the entire block," staff said, noting the planning commission will continue review. The council moved and approved the ordinances by voice votes; councilors also discussed the planning rationale to avoid long uninterrupted commercial strips along the main street.
