A. Continue discussion and review of the Ivins City Zoning Ordinance. Kevin Rudd explained that the changes previously discussed are in an ordinance format, and the Zoning Map has been revised to reflect the new residential zones. On Table 33-2 NonResidential Zoning Districts, the notation "Mixed Use Overlay Only" was added to Condominium and Multiple-Family dwellings in Resort Commercial.
The existing R-1-8 (Single Family Res. Min. 8,000 sq ft) zones on the Zoning Map were changed to R-1-7.5 (Single Family Res. Min. 7,500 sq ft). R-1-5 (Single Family Res. Min. 5,000 sq ft) and R-2-6 (Two Family Res., Min. 6,000 sq ft) zones were added to the legend of the Zoning Map. There were no other changes to the map.
The consensus was that the Commissioners were okay with the revisions of the text and map. A public hearing will be set for July 14, 2009 to receive public comment on the recommended changes.
At the July 14, 2009 meeting the Commissioners will discuss the commercial zones and define the uses. Work sheets were distributed on the various commercial zones in preparation for the next meeting, and the Commissioners were asked to review the current uses on Table 33-2. The goal is to take these commercial zones and make the uses different enough to create a different zone.
The Commissioners were briefed on each use and locations that require a zone designation.
In regards to the RMU Town Center zone, it was mentioned that the City does have a conceptual plan. This zone has a required residential component within the Town Center, approximately 25%-50% residential component, and a mandatory percentage of mixed use within the same building such as condominiums or apartments over the top of businesses. The Resort Mixed Use - Village zoning is across from The Reserve and around the Red Mountain Spa area. Chapter 19 of the Zoning Ordinance regulates sites and building requirements and Chapter 22 is parking, landscaping and lighting requirements. Before the commercial zones are formerly created, these chapters need to be revised.
Vice Chairman Reed commented that he liked having an idea of what a zone should be and having structure to go along with the zone before sending it to the Council, not a recommendation that is not complete.
Copies of the information distributed and a reminder will be sent to Chairman Mehr and Commissioner Murphy to inform them that the commercial zones will be discussed at the next meeting. (Copies of information distributed are available at the Ivins City office.)
