There were no disclosures or conflicts of interest with this meeting’s agenda.

A.	Public Hearing on a proposed Class IV Conditional Use for a Casita located at 134 West 200 South.  Robert and Lorrie Morris, applicants.

Kevin Rudd reported that based on 30% of the primary structure, which is 2412 square feet, the ordinance allows 723 square feet for the Casita. The proposal is 720 square feet, and the architectural style blends with the primary structure, it meets the required setbacks of ten feet (10’) and height restrictions of fifteen feet (15’). The property is just under one acre. There is space for offstreet parking and parking beside the home. Staff recommends approval.

Chairman Mehr asked if parking would be in the existing driveway.
Kevin Rudd explained that there is a gravel driveway to the detached garage, and parking could be created beside the Casita. The current ordinance requires two (2) parking spots on any residence but with adding a Casita the minimum would be three (3) parking spots.
Commissioner Todd asked if the roof pitch was included in the height as it was not identified on the drawing.
Kevin Rudd explained that the roof pitch will be within the fifteen foot (15’) requirement.
Chairman Mehr opened the Public Hearing and with no response closed the Public Hearing.

A.	Continue discussion of the Ivins City Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances on grading and elevation of lots.

Chairman Mehr explained that during the previous meeting they asked Form Tomorrow to review the proposed revisions on elevation of lots and furnish some feedback.
The Commissioners agreed the discussion would continue after receiving the comments back from Form Tomorrow. Staff will contact Form Tomorrow to see if they have had time to review the document.

B.	Continue discussion of the Ivins City Zoning Ordinance regarding commercial uses.

During the previous meeting Form  asked for the Commissioners comments regarding their submittals on Commercial Development Standards. The consensus was that it was a good presentation and a good start.
Commissioner Scott liked the fact that Form Tomorrow was narrowing the zones down. Now that the zones are being defined and the Commission has a picture of the zones, an assessment needs to be made as to whether these are the right locations on the Land Use Plan. 
Commissioner Reed stated that the General Plan identifies the locations. In conjunction with identifying the right locations, the Commissioners need to look at doing overlay zones or base zones to decide what overlay zones fits with what zones. If a zone destination is changed to a base zone with overlays and has differentiations, it needs to be determined if it matches the General Plan. Those changes will have to be proposed as well and any modifications to the General Plan.

Commissioner Benson explained that he didn’t disagree with what was proposed but had some questions about the design standards as to why they were doing certain things. He suggested that the Commissioners take some time to go through the design. He was concerned about potential conflicts, concerns, or hardships that might arise.
Commissioner Reed stated that he was not familiar with the impact of the setbacks for the pads on the commercial lots. He would like to know about any problems that might occur with setbacks or the technical aspects before having a public hearing.
The Commissioners will send their comments to Martha Wilson by email. Their comments will be included in their packets to be discussed in the October 19th meeting.  The comments will be forwarded to Form Tomorrow for their feedback.
