Public Meetings - Draper, Utah

The Draper City Council met on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, beginning with a 5:30 PM study session and reconvening for the regular business session shortly after 7:00 PM. The study session included a closed-session motion and the Draper Days recap; the business session covered the consent calendar, a development agreement, a budget amendment, surplus vehicle sales, and council reports. No separately adopted minutes were available in the source materials; this summary draws on the posted agenda and the raw transcript. Study Session & Closed Session - The council moved to go into closed session for litigation, property acquisition, and security measures. The closed-session meeting was to be held in the Administrative Conference Room at Draper City Hall. - Staff presented the Draper Days recap. Vendor revenue at Draper Park increased about 26% over 2025. Three anchor sponsors provided $35,000, roughly one-third of the $102,000 total sponsorships. Among vendor survey respondents, 5% said the event was not successful. The city subsidy for Draper Days decreased nearly 5% from the prior year. The largest expense was the stage at almost $60,000. Rodeo expenses increased $38,000, driven by a $17,000 LED board, a $4,600 water truck (normally sponsored by Wadsworth but not this year), and a $7,000 shade awning. Staff feedback noted the public liked the larger concert area and the proximity of food vendors. - The agenda listed a Willow Creek Update; the available transcript does not include discussion of that item. Consent Calendar - A motion was made to approve the consent calendar, which included approval of the September 1, 2026 City Council meeting minutes and Resolution 2644 reappointing Alan Taylor to the Draper City Building Board of Appeals. The consent calendar was approved. Public Comments & Testimony - During general public comment, one resident spoke about public safety. The resident said Draper police officers should be in Draper, not in South Salt Lake, and identified a first goal of having officers respond in less than 15 minutes. The resident also said public safety is in jeopardy because the jail cannot hold prisoners, which prevents accountability and the opportunity for those individuals to change. - Public hearings for Items 5A and 5B were opened and closed with no public comment. Discussion Items - Item 5A - Exchange Development Agreement: The council considered an ordinance approving an exchange development agreement for approximately 2.15 acres at approximately 14068 South 145 East. The applicant, representing Woodbury in partnership with Hunt Companies, requested a development agreement to build a building matching the existing office park. Requested elements included elimination of landscape islands and head-to-head parking rows, permissive (not required) tree diamonds, no change to the base parking ratio of four spaces per 1,000 square feet, concurrent site plan and building permit review with the building permit not issued until site plan approval, and shared parking/cross-access aisles on the property. A representative described the company as an ESOP company focused on people and purpose, and said the Draper facility is purpose-built for current and future R&D for a government customer. Council discussion addressed roof antennas (screened, no wider than six to eight feet), a fourth story triggered by occupied space under a canopy, and the building appearing from ground level like the adjacent three-story building. The height exception was tied to roof access for the antennas. The public hearing was closed, and the council then discussed the motion. - Item 5B - Budget Amendment: The council considered a resolution amending the adopted FY 2026-2027 budget with 12 items. The amendment included two new grants as additional revenue, use of fund balance, reappropriation of previously approved but expired budget amounts for continuing projects, delayed fleet vehicle purchases, a $2 million grant for the Centennial Pump Improvement Project (formerly Pump Station 2) to repair and upgrade the pump station, and an additional $100,000 for two newly identified sidewalk gap replacement areas along Pioneer Road/Fort Street between 132nd and Pioneer, funded from sidewalk maintenance fund balance. The amendment also moved money from personnel budgets to operational budgets to keep line items balanced. The public hearing was closed without comment, and the council discussed the amendment. - Item 5C - Surplus Vehicle Sales: The council considered an action item to approve sale of surplus vehicles above the city's threshold. The older vehicles were being sent to auction because they had been replaced. Council discussion noted vehicles from model years 2024, 2025, and 2026 being auctioned because the city is no longer in the garbage business. - Council/Manager Reports: The city manager reported on a league call with cities that had proposed tax increases; a common theme was the documentation workload required to show the tax commission that every requirement had been met. The manager reported the process went through and said the city will monitor legislative changes in the next session, while not saying the city is raising taxes next year. A council member also shared a community compliment about a recent fire event being the best one a resident's kids had attended. Key Outcomes - Approved the consent calendar, including the September 1, 2026 meeting minutes and Resolution 2644 reappointing Alan Taylor to the Draper City Building Board of Appeals. - Approved Item 5A, the exchange development agreement for the approximately 2.15-acre property at approximately 14068 South 145 East. - Approved Item 5B, the FY 2026-2027 budget amendment. - Approved Item 5C, the sale/auction of surplus vehicles. - Moved to go into closed session for litigation, property acquisition, and security measures during the study session. - A motion to adjourn was made by Councilmember Catherine, and the meeting adjourned. - The available transcript does not include roll-call vote tallies.

The Draper City Planning Commission met on September 10, 2026, at 6:30 PM in the Council Chambers at 1020 East Pioneer Road. The meeting included public hearings on four items, with one item continued. The commission also conducted annual training for commissioners. Public Comments & Testimony - Blueprints and Blossoms Home Occupation CUP (Item 1.b): No public comments were offered. - Exchange 14068 South 145 East Development Agreement (Item 1.c): No public comments were offered. - Snow Zoning Map Amendment (Item 1.d): No public comments were offered. - SSVM Development Agreement, Land Use, and Zoning Amendments (Item 1.e): Multiple neighbors spoke in opposition. Rick Taylor (1143 S. 700 W.) argued that the proposal would destroy the rural character of the area and was not harmonious with existing development. Jan Sharp (11471 S. 700 W.) noted flooding concerns and the loss of open space. Leroy Larson (11553 S. 700 W.) said four homes on the lot would be out of place. Bob Rower (west of the property) raised issues with irrigation lines, grade changes, and set-backs. Wayne Hughes (across the street) stated the change was out of keeping with the neighborhood. A neighbor collected 71 signatures in opposition. All speakers requested denial. Discussion Items - Bangerter Crossroads Site Plan (Item 1.a): Continued to September 24, 2026, per staff announcement. - Blueprints and Blossoms Home Occupation CUP (Item 1.b): Staff presented a request from Emilie Brenchley to operate a cottage business for cakes and flower arrangements from her home. No customers come to the home; deliveries are made by the applicant. One remote employee. The commission discussed condition six requiring an HOA letter. The commission voted to waive that condition (deviation from code) because the employee does not work at the home. A motion to approve with conditions 1–5 was passed unanimously. - Exchange 14068 South 145 East Development Agreement (Item 1.c): Staff presented a development agreement for the last vacant parcel in the Exchange office complex. The applicant, Jason Prisbila (Woodbury Corp), requested height up to 60 feet (code 45 ft), use of similar materials to existing buildings, reduced parking lot landscaping, and concurrent site plan/building permit review. The commission discussed height comparisons (existing building at 56 ft plus allowed architectural features) and parking concerns. The applicant noted the incoming tenant is a defense/tech company planning 100 high-paying jobs. A motion to forward a positive recommendation to the city council passed unanimously. - Snow Zoning Map Amendment (Item 1.d): Staff presented a request from Lowell and Tamara Snow to rezone 1.35 acres from RA1 to RA2 (allowing 20,000 sq ft lots instead of 40,000) to facilitate creating one additional lot. The applicant stated they want to age in place and have support from neighbors. A previous similar request was denied in 2016 due to character concerns. The commission noted no public opposition and property to north/south already RA2. Motion for positive recommendation passed unanimously. - SSVM Development Agreement, Land Use Map Amendment, and Zoning Map Amendment (Item 1.e): Staff presented three related applications for 1.58 acres at 11511 S. 700 W. The applicant, Ari Bruening (land use attorney for owner), proposed four lots on a 26-ft private road (instead of standard 31-ft), with phasing of lot development and notice to future owners about nearby agricultural uses. Neighbors raised significant concerns about grade changes, drainage, sewer pumping, floodplain, irrigation lines, and loss of rural character. The commission discussed density and piecemeal development. Motions to forward negative recommendations to the city council on all three applications passed unanimously. Key Outcomes - Approved: Blueprints and Blossoms Home Occupation CUP (application 2026-0075-USE) with conditions 1–5 (condition 6 waived).

This meeting of the Draper Historic Preservation Commission covered the results of the Phase II Reconnaissance Level Survey, reviews of National Register nominations, budget discussions for the current and upcoming fiscal years, a recap of the Draper Days Historic Walking Tour, updates on various plaque and research projects, and planning for the upcoming Widowmaker plaque unveiling. The commission also coordinated with the Draper Historical Society and discussed progress on slavery in early Draper research. Consent Calendar - Approval of Previous Meeting Minutes: The minutes from the June 17, 2026 meeting were approved unanimously. Discussion Items Reconnaissance Level Survey (RLS) – Phase II Results - Kirk Huffaker of Kirk Huffaker Preservation Strategies presented the findings of the Phase II RLS. The survey evaluated approximately 423-439 primary buildings within the city, with 62% (269 buildings) deemed eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The survey also inventoried all outbuildings, bringing total contributing resources to 56%. The vast majority of surveyed structures (67%) were built in the post-war period (1945-1977). The commission noted the high concentration of contributing properties along streets like Relation and Boulder and discussed potential for small historic districts. Recommendations included targeting these areas for future intensive-level surveys and expanding public education about post-war architecture. National Register of Historic Places Nomination Reviews - The commission reviewed nomination paperwork for the Isaac Stewart House and the Smith-Steadman House (Dina Williams’ home). No changes were requested from the commission; staff will notify the state historic preservation office (SHIPO) of the commission’s approval, pending SHIPO’s redlines. Budget Review – FY 2025/2026 and FY 2026/2027 - Staff presented the budget for the prior fiscal year, noting that the $15,000 allocation plus an additional $5,000 for the RLS was largely spent. Remaining funds of approximately $1,500 will carry over for final RLS deliverables. The proposed FY 2026/2027 budget includes funds for a video tour of the Spins Rasmus House, plaques for the two National Register nominations (pending approval), and printing for walking tour images. With remaining funds, the commission discussed using the RLS results to select properties for intensive-level surveys or nominations, possibly by architectural theme. A broader discussion on establishing a historic district in Draper highlighted challenges: state law requires a high threshold of property owner consent, and past efforts in other cities faced opposition due to perceived restrictions on renovations. The commission agreed to continue budget discussions at the next meeting. Draper Days Historic Walking Tour Recap - The walking tour on August 13, 2026 was deemed a success with steady crowds and positive feedback, especially from families with young children. The ability to enter buildings (e.g., Park School) was a highlight. Several residents suggested offering paid tours similar to Salt Lake County’s model. One attendee also requested that the rodeo include more Draper history. The commission will explore the idea with the Draper Historical Society. Draper Historical Society Coordination - Elizabeth was absent, but others reported that the Historical Society hosted a well-attended presentation on Draper history at the senior center, and a new monthly series is planned starting September 25, 2026. Additionally, a resident contacted the commission with records from the Draper Irrigation Company; staff will connect him with the Historical Society. Draper Bank Sign - The sign is still stored in Nancy’s garage. The commission agreed to contact the bank manager (now a Deseret Bank branch) to arrange a meeting to discuss possibly returning or displaying the sign. Widowmaker Plaque Update and Decisions - Jason reported that Kelly (city staff) confirmed David Wilkes can assist with logistics. The county will provide restroom cleaning but cannot close park amenities. The commission voted to set the plaque unveiling ceremony for October 10, 2026. Planning details will be worked out, including coordination with the Kimball family, the local motorcycle club (Bees Club), potential sponsors for water/snacks, and use of city speakers and chairs. A secondary planning meeting (likely on a Wednesday in September) will be scheduled, with public notice required. Staff will notify the county and other partners of the date. Walk Through Video Tour of Historic Buildings - No updates. The commission awaits readiness from the property owners (likely the Spins Rasmus House family). Dominguez-Escalante Expedition Article - Wendy has prepared a draft article about the expedition. She will send it along with a map (instead of a painting) to Alex for inclusion in the next city newsletter. Draper Ethnic and Minority History Research - David was absent; he will provide an update at the next meeting. Slavery in Early Draper - Wendy reported progress on identifying graves of enslaved individuals in the Draper cemetery. She has been in contact with Robert Birch of Sema Hadithi, an organization focused on African American genealogy. The group is interested in conducting ground-penetrating radar to verify unmarked graves and placing a marker. Staff will coordinate with the city recorder (who manages the cemetery) and may need city approval. The commission also discussed creating a webpage on the city site to share information about the Bankhead family (enslaved people in early Draper). Additional genealogical findings were shared: one child adopted by the family was buried alongside the slave graves. America250 - The project has concluded; the commission disbanded, as the 250th anniversary celebration has passed. Walking Tour Brochures - David was absent; no update. Key Outcomes - Motion Passed: Set the Widowmaker plaque unveiling ceremony for October 10, 2026 (approved unanimously). - Direction Given: Staff to notify the county, Kelly, and the Kimball family of the date; Jason to rework the planning spreadsheet and start a new email thread; a secondary planning meeting to be scheduled for a Wednesday in September. - Budget Continuation: The budget will be carried over for discussion at the next regular meeting. - Action Items: - Inform the state preservation office of no changes to the Isaac Stewart and Smith-Steadman nominations. - Nancy and potentially Lynn to contact Deseret Bank about the Draper Bank sign. - Wendy to send the Dominguez-Escalante article and map, and information on slavery research for the website and Sema Hadithi partnership. - Staff to check on snack funding (city may provide snacks).

The Draper Historic Preservation Commission met on September 10, 2026 (2026-09-10) at Draper City Hall's Administration Conference Room, 1020 East Pioneer Road, to coordinate the upcoming Widowmaker Plaque Ceremony. The agenda was dated September 9, 2026, while the provided timestamp is September 10, 2026; no minutes were available. The transcript records the start time as 6:02 p.m. The meeting included roll call, presentations by the Kimball family, planning for the October 10, 2026 ceremony at Flight Park, and adjournment. Welcome and Roll Call - In-person attendees: Jason Wiggins, Annie Bomber, Lyndon Peterson, David Hao, Rena Pace, David Wilkes, and Jennifer DeStromski. - Via Zoom: Mel Kimball Jr. and Mel Kimball Sr. Event Vision - Commissioner Jason Wiggins described the event as a way to reunite the Widowmaker community around the original race site, celebrate its spirit of adventure and camaraderie, and preserve its place in Draper's history for future generations. Kimball Family Participation and Memorabilia - Mel Kimball Jr. introduced his father, Mel Kimball Sr. (age 89), who joined the Bees Club around 1963, won the 1968 Widowmaker on the 600-foot hill, and later raced when the event moved to longer hills to the south in the mid-1970s. - Mel Kimball Jr., born in 1963, began riding at age 11 on the original 600-foot hill and won Widowmaker championships in 1986 and 1988. - The Kimballs plan to bring Mel Sr.'s Triumph motorcycle, Mel Jr.'s championship bike, Mel Jr.'s traveling trophy, Bees Club jackets and hats, and other memorabilia. Other Bees Club members may bring items; about six members were confirmed, with an estimated 20-25 people expected from that community. - Two large scrapbooks from the 1960s and roughly 1979-1984/85 may be displayed, but only with a family member turning pages because the bindings are fragile. Ceremony Logistics - Date: October 10, 2026; setup at 9 a.m., ceremony start at 10 a.m. The advertised public event will be no more than one hour, with no more than 30 minutes of speaking followed by 30 minutes for questions and memorabilia viewing. Cleanup must be complete by 2 p.m. due to afternoon thermal activity at Flight Park. - Location: The plaque is already installed near the Flight Park restrooms, facing the original race hill. The ceremony will be set up in the parking lot with canopies, chairs, tables, a lectern, and a sound system. County rules prohibit making the park unusable for its intended purpose, and the area includes paraglider launch boxes and a fire truck turnaround line that cannot be blocked; the site plan will be shared with the fire department. - Weather contingency: The ceremony is rain-or-shine for light rain; cancellation or postponement would occur with lightning within 8 miles or wind gusts over 12 mph. Canopies will shelter VIPs and artifacts; VIP estimates were no more than 50 people. - Format: No ribbon cutting or unveiling will take place because the plaque is already installed. Media will be invited through a media release; Linda will pull clips from an 'On Any Sunday' DVD and coordinate press. The Kimballs are willing to be interviewed and to stand near the artifacts for informal questions. Speakers, Outreach, and Refreshments - Invitations: Kelly is reaching out to the Draper mayor and city council; David Wilkes will email county council members. County Mayor Wilson was unable to attend, while county community engagement staff Lauren Brady and Chris Otto are expected. David Wilkes accepted the MC role. - Outreach: An invitation may go to Edge Sports, a Draper-based motorcycle shop, for participation and social media promotion, but formal sponsorships were not being pursued due to the short timeline and sponsor reciprocity expectations. - Refreshments: The city will provide cookies and hot drinks; a suggestion for motorcycle-shaped cookies was noted, with a possible donation and shout-out if a business provides them. Action Items and Next Meeting - Action items were reviewed briefly; members indicated they understood the next steps. - A follow-up coordination meeting was scheduled for Wednesday, September 30, 2026, for commission members; the Kimballs may not attend but can be reached by phone if questions arise. Key Outcomes - Ceremony date and time finalized: October 10, 2026, 10 a.m. start; 9 a.m. setup; cleanup by 2 p.m. - Event format set: short speaking program of 30 minutes or less, no ribbon cutting, followed by memorabilia interaction and media availability. - Kimball family confirmed they will bring motorcycles, a trophy, apparel, and scrapbooks; other Bees Club members may contribute. - David Wilkes to email county council and coordinate with Kelly on city official attendance; Linda to prepare media materials and video clips; refreshments arranged through the city; possible Edge Sports outreach. - Follow-up commission meeting set for September 30, 2026. - A motion to adjourn was made, seconded, and approved by voice vote.

The Draper Community Reinvestment Agency (CRA) met on September 2, 2026, to approve the minutes of the August 18, 2026 meeting and to consider a participation agreement with Nexcore Healthcare Development LLC for a medical office building in the Crescent Redevelopment District. The meeting was brief, with a single action item covering both approvals. Discussion Items - Minutes Approval (Item 2a): The board approved the minutes from the August 18, 2026 CRA meeting without separate discussion. - Participation Agreement with Nexcore Healthcare (Item 2b): Mike Barker, city staff, presented a resolution (CRA-26-05) approving a participation agreement with Nexcore Healthcare Development LLC. The project is a three-story, 80,000-square-foot medical office building adjacent to Lone Peak Hospital, expected to employ approximately 150 medical professionals and provide specialized care including cancer treatment and orthopedic services. The CRA would contribute $3.3 million from its Crescent Redevelopment District fund, which currently has $7.3 million available for qualifying projects. Payments are tied to three benchmarks: $1.3 million upon closing of the construction loan, a second payment (next fiscal year) upon issuance of a building permit and proof of $3 million in development expenditures, and a final $700,000 upon issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the core and shell, first tenant certificate of occupancy, and proof of 30 full-time medical professionals earning at least $96,000 annually. Council members asked about off-site infrastructure improvements—none are required, though discussions are ongoing about using CRA funds for improvements at Kimball's Lane with UTA and UDOT. Council also noted that no other projects are currently proposed in the district, but the district still has significant life remaining. Key Outcomes - Motion and Vote: Councilmember Fred moved to approve both the August 18, 2026 meeting minutes and Resolution CRA-26-05. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Bryn. The vote was unanimous (4-0) in favor (Fred, Bryn, Tasha, Catherine). The meeting then adjourned back to the city council session.

The Draper City Council met on September 1, 2026, at 6:30 PM for a study session (including a closed session for potential real estate acquisition/sale) and resumed at 7:00 PM for the business session. The council approved the consent calendar, adopted a code cleanup ordinance, and later recessed to a Community Reinvestment Agency (CRA) meeting where they approved a participation agreement for a medical office building. Council member Michael Green was absent. Consent Calendar - 4a: Approved minutes from August 12, 2026, and August 18, 2026, City Council meetings. - 4b: Approved Resolution 26-40 reappointing Geneva Woodmansee to the Parks, Trails, and Recreation Committee. - 4c: Approved Resolution 26-41 appointing Laura Fidler as a regular member of the Planning Commission. - 4d: Approved Resolution 26-42 appointing Drew Martinez as an alternate member of the Planning Commission. - 4e: Approved Resolution 26-43 authorizing the Mayor to execute a Quit Claim Deed for property in the Suncrest Development. All consent items were approved unanimously (4-0). Public Comments & Testimony - Dave Mast (14727 Canyon Point Road, 50-year Draper resident) expressed frustration with the Draper Water Department over a plat amendment for his Lone Peak Canyon development. He stated he is reducing seven lots to three and surrendering four water connections but is required to predict the location of a future water connection for a larger lot. He requested a condition allowing the connection location to be determined by the buyer at the time of building, and asked the council to help expedite the process. - Reed Gibby (667 Vandalay Lane) shared personal experiences with the medical system and expressed concerns about federal COVID-19 policies, including the U.S. recommendation of six-foot distancing compared to the WHO’s one-meter recommendation. He thanked the council and staff for their honesty. Discussion Items Study Session & Council/Manager Reports (prior to business session) - The council briefly entered a closed session to discuss potential real estate acquisition or sale (location noted as the conference room, motion approved 4-0). - Tree Committee Renaming & Beautification: Council member (unidentified) reported that the Tree Committee met that morning and welcomed a collaborative role in the beautification fund. The committee expressed interest in updating its duties and possibly changing its name to better represent its work (e.g., City Beautification Committee or Trees & Landscaping). The council discussed merging parks responsibilities with beautification and noted the committee's expertise in water-wise landscaping. The committee has been teaching well-attended classes on water-wise landscaping, with the highest attendance in the valley. - Gateway Projects: Discussion of a potential welcome-to-Draper sign at the Smith’s development gateway. The committee hoped to use the site for beautification, but the corner property is owned by UDOT. The focus shifted to Smith’s property if a small spot can be secured. The existing detention basin filled during a recent storm. - Widow Maker Trail Event: The sign for the Widow Maker Trail at the flight park has been installed. A dedication event is planned for October 10, 2026 (time TBD, likely early afternoon). The county will not allow closing any portion of the park. The Kimball family (including Mel Kimball, in his 80s) will attend with vintage motorcycles. Some cookies shaped like motorcycles may be provided. - Foster Cat Situation: One council member noted a need to discuss the city’s approach to feral/foster cats, following what other cities are doing, as the issue involves passionate residents. - Great Salt Lake Documentary: A council member invited others to a showing of the documentary “The Lake” about the Great Salt Lake, hosted by Cottonwood Heights on September 10. The council also considered hosting a showing in Draper as part of water-wise education efforts. Business Session - Item 5a – Ordinance 1737 (Government Records Access): Presented by City Recorder Nicole Smedley. The ordinance updates Title 3, Chapter 4 of the Draper City Municipal Code to align with state records management statutes, described as administrative cleanup with no change to public records access or compliance. Approved unanimously (4-0).

The CRA will contribute $3.3 million from the Crescent Redevelopment District (which has about $7.3 million available). The building is projected to employ approximately 150 medical professionals, with services including cancer treatment and orthopedic care. Financial analysis by LRB showed a strong return on investment through increased property tax, sales tax, and high-wage jobs. - Payment benchmarks: 1. $1.3 million upon closing of construction loan. 2. $1.3 million (next fiscal year) upon issuance of building permit and proof of $3 million in development expenditures (over $2 million already invested). 3. $700,000 upon certificate of occupancy for structure core/shell, first tenant CO, and proof of 30 full-time medical professionals earning at least $96,000/year. - Staff confirmed no off-site infrastructure improvements are required; on-site improvements will include landscaping and drive lanes. The council discussed potential future use of CRA funds for straightening Kimball’s Lane in coordination with UTA/UDOT, though no analysis has been completed. The district has remaining life and may fund other capital projects. - The CRA resolution was approved unanimously (4-0). Key Outcomes - Consent Calendar: Approved unanimously (4-0). - Ordinance 1737: Approved unanimously (4-0). - CRA Resolution 26-05: Approved with $3.3 million in CRA funds for the Nextcore Health medical office building. - Directives: The council directed staff to explore renaming the Tree Committee and updating its duties, likely to be discussed at a future study session. The Widow Maker Trail dedication event is set for October 10, 2026 (time TBD). The foster cat issue will be researched further. The council may consider hosting the Great Salt Lake documentary in Draper. - Closed Session: The council held a closed session for real estate discussion (approved 4-0), but no action was taken publicly.

The Draper Planning Commission met on August 27, 2026, at 6:30 PM in the City Council Chambers. Chair Andrew Adams presided. The meeting included approval of prior minutes, three public hearings/meetings, and other business. Commissioner Lisa attended her final meeting after eight years of service and was recognized by the commission. Consent Calendar - Approval of July 30, 2026, and August 13, 2026, Planning Commission Minutes — Approved unanimously by roll call vote (Gary, Susan, Lisa, Kendra all yes). Public Comments & Testimony - No members of the public spoke during the two public hearings (Rusty's Pitmasters and Wise Flooring). Discussion Items - Camden Park Subdivision Phase 1 Amended Plat (Application 2026-037-SUB) — A lot-line adjustment between lots 120 and 121 on approximately 0.62 acres at 11446 and 11464 S. Camden Road. The applicant, Philip Rosbach, requested the change to add a third-car garage to his property (lot 120). The adjustment would increase lot 120 from 13,187 to 13,943 sq. ft. and decrease lot 121 from 14,088 to 13,332 sq. ft. Public utility easements would be reduced from 10 ft to 7 ft in width, matching current code. Staff recommended approval, citing conformity with R3 zone requirements and agreement between both property owners (affidavits provided). Commissioners found good cause and no vacated public easements. Approved unanimously. - Rusty's Pitmasters Barbecue LLC Home Occupation Conditional Use Permit (Application 2026-0162-USE) — Request by Russell Stevenson for a home-based barbecue business on two parcels totaling 0.64 acres at 1645 E. Richins Rd. (RA2 zone). Operations: online orders, one smoker in the rear yard, basement kitchen preparation, customer pickups by appointment only. Hours limited to Wednesday, Friday, Saturday 4–8 PM; max 8 customers per hour, no more than two in any 15-minute block; three off-street parking stalls available. The smoker is 130 ft from any residence and near a church parking lot to mitigate smoke and odor. Staff recommended approval. Commissioners raised concerns about potential odor/ nuisance (citing DCMC 9-5-080E) and the fact that the smoker is located on a separate parcel from the main dwelling, which conflicts with the code requirement that accessory uses be on the same lot as the primary dwelling (as noted by Commissioner Nixon). The applicant stated the smoker is on wheels and could be moved, or the parcels could be combined. The motion to approve added a condition (No. 7) requiring the smoker to be relocated onto the parcel containing the dwelling or the parcels to be combined. Approved unanimously. - Wise Flooring Site Plan and Parking Deviation (Applications 2026-0033-SP and 2026-0190-VAR) — Proposal by Savio Rentals (represented by Mitch Cordner) to construct a 17,256 sq. ft. retail building on 1.08 acres at 41 W. Ikea Way (CSD-DRC zone). The zone requires 5 parking stalls per 1,000 sq. ft. of retail, totaling 85 stalls. The applicant requested a deviation to 53 stalls, supported by a parking study using ITE data that found an appropriate range of 44–53 stalls. Similar deviations have been approved for adjacent Bassett Furniture. The project complies with landscaping (25% coverage vs. 15% required), building height (25 ft vs. 45 ft max), lighting (20 ft poles, no residential spillage), and other standards. Staff recommended approval. Commissioners noted the special district's parking requirement was overly high and that the proposed number is reasonable, especially given nearby overflow parking. The parking deviation and site plan were approved separately, both unanimously. Other Business - City Council Recap (Staff Report) — Staff reported on a text amendment to the Town Center zone clarifying density definitions for small lots (allowing single-family units where only multifamily was previously permitted, still requiring mixed-use) and a Title Three amendment aligning with state law. Both items received positive commission recommendations previously. - Accessory Use on Separate Parcels Discussion — Commissioner Susan Nixon raised a concern about accessory uses (such as the smoker in the previous item) being permitted on separate parcels. Staff acknowledged the issue and agreed to bring back a discussion for potential code clarification or amendment.
