Ivins officials weighed zoning changes, contracts, and development plans in mid-July sessions
The Ivins City Council and Planning Commission held several meetings in mid-July covering zoning amendments, a development plan, and city contracts — but minutes have not yet been published for any of the sessions, so outcomes and vote tallies are not yet available.
City Council — July 16
The City Council's agenda included a public hearing and proposed ordinance to rezone approximately 0.81 acres at 366 Fitness Way from Residential Townhouse (R-TH) to Residential Multi-Family (R-M) for Sage Villas Phase 2, Units 36–43. The request was filed by Sage White Mountain, LLC.
The council was also scheduled to discuss and consider approval of a corrected consolidated fee schedule, spend budgeted funds on landscape installation at the Hamblin Parkway Roundabout and center medians, and award a contract for the Public Works Yard West Parking Addition Project on 200 West.
A continued discussion of the Anasazi Commons Annexation along Old Highway 91 was also listed.
Because minutes are not yet published, it is not known which items were approved, tabled, or continued.
Planning Commission — July 14
The Planning Commission was scheduled to hold a public hearing and make a recommendation on amendments to the CN Neighborhood Commercial Zone. The commission was also set to consider approval of the Serene Hideaway Preliminary Plan at approximately 285 West and 450 North.
No minutes have been published, so no recommendation or vote outcome is available.
What residents should watch
The Neighborhood Commercial Zone amendments that the Planning Commission took up on July 14 are expected to move to the City Council for a public hearing on August 6, where the council will consider the commission's recommendation. Written or electronic comments may be submitted to the City Recorder, and the proposed amendment is available at the Building Department and on the city website.
The Sage Villas Phase 2 rezoning, if approved, would change the zoning designation for a specific parcel on Fitness Way to allow multi-family residential use.
