2:50

Um here is the land use map, it's residential low medium density, and the zoning designation is RA2.

It's on the main floor, it has its own garage, uh its own entrance.

3:41

Um the floor plans.

Uh it can fit two vehicles.

3:52

Um everything is completely accessible without going through the main structure.

4:04

Here are the elevations that were submitted, and they're uh they were also included in their building plan set as well.

4:13

So this isn't just the the IADU, this is the home all together.

4:17

Um as you can see on the uh uh bottom right, that garage, that's the the garage that they would uh pull their vehicles into and have that side of the home as their IADU.

4:33

Summary of Proceedings

Draper City Planning Commission Meeting - June 11, 2026

The Draper City Planning Commission met on June 11, 2026, to consider several land use applications, including an internal ADU deviation, a farm-to-table school project, a subdivision plat amendment, a boundary line adjustment, and a text amendment for detached ADU conversions. The commission approved all action items unanimously and forwarded a positive recommendation to the city council for the text amendment.

Consent Calendar

  • Approved the planning commission meeting minutes for March 12, March 26, and April 23, 2026.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • Steeplechase Phase 2 Amended Subdivision Plat: Three residents (Victor Wells, Lance Conrad, Heather Polee) expressed concerns about insufficient notice, lack of HOA vote, the transfer of HOA open space to a single private owner, potential precedent, and impacts on drainage easements. They requested more time and information. Staff clarified that HOA approval was documented and that the drainage channel and trail access would not be affected.
  • No public comments were received for the Skaggs Catholic Center, Fox Landing, or Rohr text amendment items.

Discussion Items

  • Johnson Internal ADU Deviation Request (Application 2026-0095-BAR): The commission considered a deviation from geographical restrictions for an internal ADU on a 0.63-acre lot at 13164 S City Point Cove. Staff found all three criteria met (lot size ≥6,000 sq ft, code compliance, two parking stalls). The applicant (Van Norman, City Point Homes) stated the ADU is not for rent but for family use. The deviation was approved unanimously.
  • Skaggs Catholic Center Farm to Table – Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit (Applications 2025-0208-SP and 2025-027-CUP): The commission approved a conditional use permit and site plan for a garden/farm on 0.91 acres at 235 E Kimballs Lane to support the school lunch program. Conditions included lighting hours (off between 9 pm and 7 am). No public comments. Approved unanimously.
  • Steeplechase Phase 2 Amended Subdivision Plat (Application 2025-0295-SUB): An amended plat to square off a lot line adjustment between HOA open space (Parcel D) and private Lot 44, involving a nearly equal land swap (90 sq ft more to the homeowner). A fault line setback of 50 feet was identified. The HOA signed the affidavit. Public concerns about notice, precedent, and easements were addressed; drainage channel and trail access remain unaffected. Approved unanimously.
  • Fox Landing Phase 3 Subdivision Plat Amendment and Full Boundary Line Adjustment (Applications 2025-0042-SUB and 2025-0180-SUB): A full boundary line adjustment and plat amendment to add one lot (from the Huber property to Wright Homes) and reconfigure adjacent lots on 1.18 acres at 773 W Osborne Vista Way. Staff confirmed lot dimensions meet code (minimum frontage 50 ft, lot width met at rear). No public comments. Approved unanimously.
  • Rohr DADU Text Amendment (Application 2026-0051-TA): A citizen-proposed zoning text amendment to allow conversion of existing accessory structures (built before September 21, 2021) into detached ADUs, using accessory building setbacks (10 ft side/rear) and height limits (15 ft walls, 25 ft peak) instead of main dwelling standards. Applicants Ellen and Bob Rohr cited aging-in-place goals and noted surrounding cities allow similar setbacks. Commissioners discussed potential for taller structures and consistency. The commission voted unanimously to forward a positive recommendation to the city council.

Key Outcomes

  • All four action items (Johnson ADU deviation, Skaggs Catholic Center CUP/site plan, Steeplechase amended plat, Fox Landing boundary adjustment/plat amendment) were approved unanimously.
  • The Rohr DADU text amendment received a unanimous positive recommendation to the city council.
  • Staff reported that the city council had approved the Nelson rezone (lot size compliance) and the Veranda West master plan and text amendment (surf park) at recent meetings.
