Kevin Rudd reported that this property was formerly known as the Villas of Bellagio subdivision where improvements were done but the plat was never recorded with the County. The property was purchased by the current owners and they are requesting a zone change from RE-20 to RE-15, which is Low Density Residential. If the property is developed, it will go through the full subdivision process. Commissioner Pack inquired as to the zoning in the surrounding area. Kevin Rudd stated Rider's Repair Shop, Fitness Ridge, a vacant lot, a small parcel that is owned by the Washington County School District, the Cliff Rose subdivision and an agricultural zone. Chairperson Murphy opened the Public Hearing. Richard Bryant resides on Wisteria Court in Ivins and inquired if some of the land was in the Sensitive Lands area. Kevin Rudd indicated there is a small area that would be defined as sensitive lands. There being no other comments, Chairperson Murphy closed the Public Hearing.

Kevin Rudd referred to the project elevations and indicated that the project has been approved, with the exception of design modifications to the building. The project meets the current guidelines for the two (2) design features on the wall. The side wall meets the requirements and the middle section will be set back. The offset from the street would be the decision of the Planning Commissioners. Parking is in the front of both buildings and they are providing covered parking that will be partially hidden from Center Street. There will be one (1) covered parking space per unit for a total of eleven (11) covered parking spaces and landscaping will be required. Commissioner Pack pointed out that the floor plan on the back building sets forward and on the other building it is reversed. Commissioner Anderson was concerned with the view if someone was driving from west to east and the wall fronting Center Street on a main corridor. Kevin Rudd clarified that landscaping would be required and the wall would be approximately fifteen feet (15') from the building to the property line.
MOTION: Commissioner Bryan Pack moved to approve the design of the buildings as submitted as an addendum to the Class IV Conditional Use Permit on the Park Place Townhomes located at 65 W Center Street. Robert Ence, owner, and Premier Design, agent
