MEMORANDUM TO MUNICIPAL COUNCIL
DATE: January 9, 2014
FROM: Mike DeSimone
SUBJECT: Land Development Code Amendment - Community Commercial Zone, Code
Amendments (17.16, 17.17, 17.18, 17.19), Zoning Map Amendment
Summary of Planning Commission Proceedings
Project Name: Community Commercial - Code Amendments
and Zoning Map Amendments
Project Address: Citywide
One Site Specific Rezone: (1) Frederico's &
Beaver Mtn. complex 1349 East 700 North
Request: Amendment to LDC 17.16, 17.17, 17.18, 17.19
Zoning Map Amendment
Site Specific Rezone
Recommendation of Planning Commission: Approval
On January 9, 2014, the Planning Commission recommended that the Municipal Council approve a
request to amend the Land Development Code, Sections 17.16 (District and Corridors); 17.17 (District
and Corridor Uses); 17.18 (General Development Standards: District and Corridors); 17.19 (Specific
Development Standards: District and Corridors), amend the Logan City Zoning Map, and approved the
request to rezone the above referenced parcels to Community Commercial.
Summary of Issues Discussed at Planning Commission:
1. Request to rezone the "Bishop's Storehouse Building" pulled from consideration.
2. Concerns raised over fenestration requirements and whether Logan City's fenestration
requirements are too restrictive. Staff sampled other jurisdictions to assess where Logan
compares. It was determined that we are generally in alignment with other jurisdictions
regarding fenestration requirements and, with the new "discretion" language inserted into the
LDC in previous amendments, the Planning Commission has additional discretion they can
exercise during the Design Review process in evaluating fenestration on specific projects.
3. No concerns voiced or raised over the proposed rezone to Frederico's/Beaver Mtn. site.
4. Discussions about the where the Community Commercial zoning designation would be applied
in Logan. Council's packet includes photos of sites representative of the Community
Commercial zone.
Planning Commissioners, vote (4,1):
Recommend approval: Dave Adams, Amanda Davis, Russ Price, and Garrett Smith.
Recommend denial: Steve Stokes.
