# 2026-10-21 Planning Commission Work Session

Cottonwood Heights Planning Commission work session, dated October 21, 2026 (the meeting metadata timestamp is October 22 UTC), addressed development applications and a zoning-code amendment. For CUP-26-020, a proposed childcare center for up to 35 children, commissioners raised concerns about pickup and drop-off traffic, the shared driveway and parking, and safety near Fort Union. They sought more information—including a traffic and circulation analysis and the operator’s plan for managing arrivals and departures—before proceeding; no decision on the permit is evident in the transcript. The commission also reviewed Brady Family Trust subdivision and plat matters, including a requested sidewalk and gutter waiver subject to City Council approval and technical review, and a separate two-lot subdivision subject to engineering, fire, utility, and other final-plat requirements.

The commission discussed proposed ADU code amendments to align Cottonwood Heights rules with Utah SB 284, effective October 1. The proposal would allow detached ADUs as permitted uses where single-family homes are permitted, remove minimum lot-size and additional buffering requirements, and standardize the off-street parking requirement at one space. The Old Mill demolition item had no new information and was expected to return no sooner than February. No procurement activity, contract awards, spending decisions, or budget allocations were identified. The only clearly recorded vote was to adjourn and move to the business session.
