Provo Planning Commission heard 12-townhome rezoning request; City Council set to weigh storm drain deal, zoning amendments
The Provo Planning Commission held a public hearing on a proposed 12-unit townhome project in the Joaquin Neighborhood, but took no recorded vote on the request, according to official minutes from its July 8 meeting. Meanwhile, the Provo City Council and Redevelopment Agency Governing Board have packed agendas for July 14 covering storm drain funding, street vacations, fire restrictions, and multiple rezoning requests — though minutes from those meetings have not yet been published.
Planning Commission: Tuscanel Townhomes hearing held, no vote recorded
On July 8, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on two items submitted by Tuscanel Townhomes LLC, both concerning a 12-unit townhome project at 313 E 200 N in the Joaquin Neighborhood. The requests were for concept plan approval and a zone map amendment from Residential Conservation to High Density Residential.
Staff presented analyses and neighborhood feedback, but the minutes do not record any vote or final decision on either item. Residents interested in the project's status should consult the official Planning Commission record for any subsequent action.
