It will generate significant financial advantages for the city and its residents: taxes paid on
the project, wages paid to employees, etc.
It is a known project.
The developers are willing to make provisions that will satisfy the concerns of the neighbors.
This is a good time to make the change if a change is ever made because we are not yet
bound by a Master Plan. We are evaluating as a community the zone changes and their
potential benefits to the community.
(Recording of proceedings started at this point)
He explained the property access. The front of the building will be on the Main Street side but there
is no road access from Main Street. This is a better arrangement for the neighbors than the Comfort
Inn where the front of the building is on the back side closer to the neighbors.
Roger B. asked if any of the PC members have any issues. Kent P. expressed concerns because of
the previous problems with the Comfort Inn, but he really doesn’t know what would be a better
alternative—certainly not a gas station or a fast food store.
Bob B. reminded members that this body has the responsibility to review the items and to make a
recommendation only. Steve W. said that Chris Marchant’s arguments are valid and will make more
sense presented to the City Council.
Steve W. moved to give a negative recommendation to the City Council because it does not comply
with the current or the proposed General Plan; Roger B. seconded. The vote was unanimous.
3. Minor Lot Subd Port 15, Lot #5 Quantum
(Approval) Group/Ironridge
Heath Oveson presented. The proposal is to break out the property into smaller lots for industrial
development. Kit reported that everything is in order.
Steve W. moved to approve; Roger B. seconded: The vote was unanimous.
III Work Agenda
4. Annexation 231 W. 3000 N. InSite/ Russell Miller
Recommendation
Ron Larsen presented. He explained the exact location and boundaries. There are two properties
involved (Russ Miller and Barton); both owners want to annex their property. Paul B. asked if both
parties signed the petition. Ron’s understanding is that both parties did sign the petition. Roger B.
asked what the zoning would be. Paul B. said it would be at annexation transition. Ron said that
eventually it would be rezoned when part of it could be commercial and part of it could be
residential. Kit W. explained that any future building permits will trigger improvements to 3000
North and utility lines; Ron said the owners understand that. Roger B. asked if it has water. Kit will
verify from the water report. Ron thinks they have their own wells.

This item will move to Action agenda at the next PC Meeting.
5. PUD Plat Amendment Cedar Crossing PUD Cedar Crossing
Preliminary Phase III Tim Stewart
(Approval) 1177 N. Northfield Rd
Tim Stewart presented. He explained its exact location. The amendment would move the location
of the front doors and garage of each dwelling to the front of the building so as not to face the
existing block wall. .
This item will move to Action agenda at the next PC Meeting.
6. Public Utility 936 S. 1950 W. Cedar City Corp
Easement Jonathan Stathis
Kit Wareham presented. This is a city request which is necessary to provide power services to the
control valves, lights, etc. around the new city reservoir. The power lines need to cross city
property; this requires an easement from the City, as the property owners, to the utility companies.
This item will move to Action agenda at the next PC Meeting.
7. Master Plan 2100 S. 5300 W. Cordero/Kelly Crane
Development
Kelly Crane presented. This is a long-term project. The owner of the property will meet with City
staff on 10/30/08 to review the details. Brian M. explained staff has been reviewing the Master Plan
and the Development Agreement. Land Use specifics is one topic that has not been covered. Bob B.
said it is too early to consider that topic.
Roger B. asked Brian M. what is the instrument used to steer this project over its lifetime; Brian M.
explained that it is the Development Agreement and the Master Plan. This agreement is binding,
even if different owners become involved. Delivery of services is being reviewed. The developer
has written these into the agreement. Details will be reviewed as the development progresses. The
PC will be involved making recommendations to the City Council. It is brought to the PC’s
attention now to familiarize members with the project. Brian explained the details of the upcoming
process.
Bob B. asked when Staff will complete review: November 4 is the target date.
This item will move to Work agenda at the next PC Meeting.
