Show Layton approves zoning changes By DONETA GATHERUM LAYTON At a recent meeting, meet-ing, city council members agreed to several major zoning changes and scheduled a public hearing to discuss the rezone of a controversial controver-sial parcel of land. The largest piece of property involved in-volved in the zoning changes was 80 acres of land located immediately immediate-ly north of the Solid Waste Management Man-agement District burn plant. The council approved an annexation of this property into Layton City and a rezone to M-l to allow the development de-velopment of an industrial park. Tom Hayes, spokesman for the development, said the plan is to attract tenants that are subcontractors subcontrac-tors to Hill Air Force Base. The businesses would be of a professional profes-sional and technical nature. The council required the developers de-velopers to agree to work out a satisfactory road system and to develop de-velop an adequate water supply system once development takes place. In other action a six-month extension ex-tension of the C-X zone was granted to the Harris Brothers who own property at 800 West Antelope Drive. The proposed development for this property is still in the planning plan-ning stages and not ready for coun- cil action. A major development will be considered at a public hearing set for Feb. 4 at 7:30 p.m. The council will consider three proposals called the "Wangsgard Rezone." The property is located near 2400 North and 400 West (Hill Field Road). Many proposals for development develop-ment of this property have been considered in the past. All of the former plans were opposed by area residents and ultimately denied by the city council. The first change being requested is for a CP-2 zone to allow construction con-struction of a professional and retail re-tail business park adjacent to the Pleasant Hills Subdivision. A residential subdivision is planned plan-ned for the second parcel. The requestors re-questors are asking for an R-l-6 zone. The planning commission favored fa-vored an R-l-8 zone. The plan will be for single family dwellings. The final Wangsgard proposal is for a "Food Fair," a collection of eight fast-food restaurants. The planning commission voted four to two on this proposal. The dissen-tors dissen-tors wanted a market analysis to support the concept. Residents are invited to attend the public hearing to express their views on the proposed develop- fj ment. |
