2026-09-02 Planning Commission Business Session

The Cottonwood Heights Planning Commission held a business session on September 2, 2026, focusing on several zoning and subdivision matters. Key procurement-related discussions included a recommendation to rezone a 1.98-acre property at 7030 South Park Center Drive from Office Research and Development to Regional Commercial to support commercial redevelopment and economic investment. The commission also reviewed and recommended approval of a zoning text amendment to modernize the Regional Commercial zone by expanding permitted uses and adjusting conditional use requirements, including a condition that businesses with drive-throughs require conditional use approval. Additionally, the commission considered a general plan amendment and rezoning request for a 1.11-acre property to allow for subdivision into three single-family residential lots, with staff and applicants addressing concerns about lot frontage and access. Finally, a subdivision plat amendment was approved to create three single-family lots, with discussion on fire department access and infrastructure compliance. All recommendations were forwarded to the city council for final approval, and motions were passed unanimously. The meeting also included procedural items such as upcoming chair elections and joint council meetings on the general plan.
