Listen, I've got a seven.

One last uh the last time better have something good for the time.

Yeah, wait till you go over after senior.

Yep.

That's a real finance.

Okay.

So here we go.

Well someone is gonna pay one thing that are conflict.

I probably remember in a retirement die.

My wife's had me paying the light.

We'll get that favorite.

Actually, that does a lot of it's not much of it.

That's probably the end of cheaper.

What are you doing?

Uh I do investigation for a firm.

Oh it's good.

Well, uh, I love that.

And uh so in terms of us and then license sero slowly build the space.

Dale, you won't be chair.

I really don't need to be I think you're probably used to seeing the conditions for sure.

So I think uh plans that's true.

Uh yeah, I'm solved.

All right, so I'm replaced right now.

They're based on PADS build.

Wait for the book, right?

They're off to the interview right now.

And they're just I mean, there's some more um yeah uh therapy for the won't go.

So we'll get a chair.

Uh my cousins, I'm not gonna like because my cousin that's right.

So we do better choose water fresh room to find some of the like the Royce.

Are we ready?

We are ready, Mr.

Chair, and we have a couple folks online for when the public hearings come up.

So just heads up.

What sorry, say that again.

Uh we are ready, but we also have a couple folks online for when the public hearings come up.

So just okay, that's sounds good.

Yeah, yeah.

Awesome.

All right, we're gonna go ahead and um call the meeting to order.

This is the CRQ City Planning Commission meeting for February 3rd, 2026.

We will have an invocation of thought by Commissioner Baker and a bunch of legions led by Commissioner Mount Heelson.

Okay, I'm actually gonna mix it up and share a little thought tonight.

Uh many of you are probably familiar with the proverb that says a society grows great when old men plant trees under whose shade they will never sit.

I think that is very appropriate as a group of commissioners as citizens of a city.

I think it's important that we have a perspective looking forward.

It's not about us, it's about what comes behind us.

And sometimes those things might be painful for us in the time, but we have to think outside of ourselves and think about what's coming down the line, whether it be zoning, building plans, uh how we treat our neighbors, etc.

I think it's just very important that we keep that in mind, and it's not just about our own personal opinions, but what would serve the greatest good as a community will serve the people that come here after we're gone.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Please rise.

Our next item will be the uh minutes.

Um these are the minutes from the meeting on January 6th, 2026.

Um, if uh as long as there's no changes or anything that needs to be made, we'll take a motion to adopt the minutes.

I saw no changes and after reviewing, so I move to adopt the minutes as posted.

Got a motion, got a second.

Okay, all in favor.

Aye.

Aye.

Any opposed.

Okay.

They are adopted.

We will move on to public comment.

Uh this is an opportunity for uh the public to address the planning commission um for items that are not slated for tonight's agenda.

Um if you have comments for items that are on the agenda that have a public hearing, we would ask that you hold those until that time.

Uh for now, this will be an opportunity.

And if you have any comments, please limit your comments to three minutes or less.

Anyone online asking?

No, Mr.

Chair.

Okay, perfect.

All right, we will go ahead and close public comment.

All right.

Item number four.

Um Royce, you want to go ahead and yes, sir.

All right, so this is for a uh subdivision plat.

Uh we did the rezone here uh a couple months back.

Um a couple months, almost a year ago, I guess now, but uh the rezone was approved.

Uh so this is gonna be an administrative approval.

Um what's been proposed here is just a uh a plat showing a cul-de-sac and uh single family lots.

So the uh the subdivision, this currently is uh dead end road here.

It will be opened up and continue into this cul de sac.

Um there is currently uh some undeveloped ground to the east and then uh just larger lots to the north, but everything around other than that is is uh developed in the same way as what's proposed here.

Uh the zoning matches what's around there.

So um this also meets all the requirements of the city code and all the staff comments have been addressed.

So we would recommend approval.

Perfect, thank you.

All right, this is open for a public hearing.

Uh any comments, uh concerns again.

We'll do the same thing that we did in public comment.

Please limit your comments to three minutes or less.

Um we'll open public hearing on this item now.

Seeing none, we will go ahead and close public hearing back to the commission and we have the developer here.

This one.

Um wanna come forward and state your name and we can address any questions from the commission.

Hi there, I'm Chase Stevenson, the one developing this.

Any questions?

It's pretty simple.

I was just want to make sure that we any questions from the commission are addressed.

So it looks pretty fairly straightforward.

And I was looking over this and I didn't see any concern.

So we're just probably concerned from fire marshmallow.

Yeah.

Um, the only thing I knew there in the comments was the flow rate, which supposedly was okay by the engineering.

So that was the only thing I know of.

Yeah, oh, the the original plan we had the bubble was a little small, so they had to make the bubble a little bit bigger.

Yeah, okay.

All right, thank you.

All right, clip back to the commission.

I think the only comment I know when it was brought up because it the undeveloped land to the east is kind of stubbed out, and it's we're not making that connection, but do appreciate uh Commissioner Baker's comments about uh looking to the future and that the impact here doesn't seem like it's not a huge development.

So forcing that connection.

I'm uh at first I was thinking, well, it's probably good, would be a good thing to connect the two, but it's that's really not in hugely impactful.

So I think the development is is fine for the size and the area.

So all right.

Well, yeah, if there are no other comments, I'll take a motion.

I'll make a motion.

I move the planning commission, approve the request of Chase Stevenson for approval of a minor plot called Marcella Circle at approximately 2800 south, 1400 west, and R2 zone.

Thank you, Commissioner Baker.

We have the motion.

Do we have a second?

Second.

All right, we have a second.

All in favor, aye, aye.

Any opposed motion passes.

Moving on to the next item.

We have a minor subdivision for the museum foundation.

And Commissioner accusing yourself on this one.

I need to recreate recuse myself if I can pronounce that word properly on this on this agenda item.

Perfect.

All right.

Royce.

All right.

So this is just a two-lot.

It's technically commercial plat.

It's not necessarily a commercial use as proposed.

Um, but uh we run it through the process as if it's a uh commercial uh use per the subdivision code.

Um so the the buildings are all existing in this plat.

So we've got uh a large steel building in the back, and there's uh an older home that's been converted into an office space uh in the front.

So there's a cross access easement that will provide uh general access to lot two, and then are also installing a gate that you can see here.

These these uh drawing that will provide access into the uh well emergency access, I should specify into the the parking lot is as needed um per fire requirements.

So uh, but yeah, what's been shown here meets all the requirements of the code.

Um all the staff comments have also been addressed.

So we would recommend approval.

Um, and just as as an explanation, the museum uh is just looking to expand.

So they're they're looking at using this building to expand uh their campus a bit so they'll have more museum space in that existing building.

Awesome, thank you.

All right, this uh item is up for public hearing.

Same rules as before.

Please also if you have comments on this particular item, limit them to three minutes or less.

Anybody online?

Uh no.

Okay.

We'll go ahead and close public hearing.

Uh bring it back to the commission.

Yeah, I think this would have to be eager to see the museum edition.

Cool.

All right.

Any comments?

We'll take a motion.

For approval of commission flat eye.

Yes, submitted number south of the G.

Thank you, Commissioner Hernan.

We have a motion, we have a second.

Second.

All in favor?

Aye.

Any opposed?

Motion passes.

Moving on to item number six, subdivision amendment or Fred.

Uh hopefully I'm pronouncing this right.

Panucci.

Very good.

All right.

So this is going to be uh probably the simplest one of the night.

Uh so the property owner, they own two parcels.

Technically, the the uh parcel is currently being used as essentially like a backyard side yard kind of thing next to the house.

So the proposal here is just to combine those two parcels together.

And uh usually this kind of thing, if it's uh what we call a meets and bounds parcel, which means it just has a long description of what the property is supposed to look like um and is not a part of a subdivision plot.

They just can just go down to the county and do this on their own.

But because this is part of a platted subdivision, they do have to go through the subdivision amendment process.

So uh nothing is physically changing, it's just getting rid of the existing property line uh between these two.

So um again, same as the others.

Uh all requirements of the city code are met, and uh all staff comments are addressed.

We would recommend approval.

Perfect.

Public hearing for this one as well.

Uh please limit comments to three minutes or less.

Seeing none, we'll go ahead and close public hearing on this.

Commission, do we have any questions for the property owner?

No answer now.

Any questions?

You could just state your name and and your address for the record.

Fred Penucci and 1104 West, 2175 south.

Syracuse.

Perfect.

I have a question.

There's the property line that's being abandoned.

There's also utility easements associated with that property line.

And of those, I'm assuming there are no utilities, or they're they're known if there are utilities.

Yeah, there's no utilities there.

Uh you can see the new utility lines.

The setback lines are these smaller dashes, utility.

Uh you can see PUE there.

So that will essentially just uh eliminate the one along the property line there, and then retain uh the existing PUEs that were there before along the exterior.

Cool.

Thank you.

Okay.

Appreciate it.

All right.

We'll take a motion.

I'll make a motion.

I move that we approve that the planning commission approve the request resolution for approval of a subdivision plan at approximately 11 world has 2175 south and the R2 as well.

Thank you, Commissioner Garner.

We have a motion.

We have a second.

Second.

All in favor.

Aye.

Any opposed.

Motion passes.

Well, appreciate it.

Thank you.

All right.

Moving on to item number seven.

It's a rezone request for by Chris Lessig.

Apologize if I mispronounced that.

I've got this one.

I can know.

So we've recreed we've received this request to rezone.

You can see here highlighted in blue is the location.

The general plan is commercial, which would support a professional office, would be consistent.

And then the current zoning is R1, and the proposed zoning is professional office, like I said.

But being a rezone, we don't know exactly how it's going to develop.

Those things will would get sorted out with a site plan.

But it also has frontage on the new frontage road, which is the rerouted Bluff Road, Quell Bluff Drive.

You can see the purpose of the zone.

If you look at the list of permitted uses, it doesn't include some of the maybe more impactful type things.

And like I said, I don't think we have any of the detail as far as how it'll be developed exactly, what the buildings or what will go in there.

But my guess is most likely some sort of medical office.

The applicants here.

Exclude use, not for human.

So we know about that.

So otherwise, there's also our buffer ordinance and the site plan review.

So like I said, without getting into the weeds of exactly how this will be developed, because I know that's probably one of the top concerns.

Um just understand that we'll have another stab at this when we get more details.

But right now it's a very high level.

What we're looking for is a recommendation to city council of whether or not you think this is an appropriate use for the area.

You can see we we have already rezoned the property to the west to the professional office.

I think that happened last year, and you can see the uh new highway 177, West Davis corridors right there.

So I think there's really good visibility.

Um thing this property does not have is frontage on Antelope, which makes the access just a little bit hard for like a retail use, I think, because you have to come in through the light and then loop around and go past those other the backs of those other houses.

Um, but it does have really good visibility, and you know, I I think that as far as being consistent with the general plan, being close to uh state highway and and well, two state highways.

I always want to call it interstate, but I guess it's not.

Uh, but it's a yeah, it's it's uh it's a prime site for commercial activity, but um maybe not retail.

That's probably the other question is why not retail instead of professional office because of course retail generates a lot of sales tax for the city, and we do need that, but professional office could generate uh uh a really attractive building that is that generates a lot of um property tax and jobs, depending on employment numbers and what kinds of buildings we get.

So uh yeah, that's that's the scoop.

If you have any questions, uh let me know.

And the applicant, I see him in the audience, and of course, as uh public hearing as a reminder.

Yeah.

Um I do want to ask you a quick question.

Is this right next to or does this excuse me?

Is this right next to you, or does this include the property that we discussed um either last month or the month before uh with the storage?

Good memory.

Uh no, it it does not include that property.

Okay, so that's it it's a jacent.

There's a there's a gap there.

And you know, this the city for economic development reasons, we always try to encourage property owners to work together, but also recognize that there are private property rights, and each individual property owner may want to do something a little bit different.

And so we're just trying to work with that.

The as an update on that that middle piece, the applicant actually uh asked to just remove his application, is seeing that it wasn't looking very promising.

So it never made it to city council after you guys was this conversation discussion.

Perfect.

All right, thank you.

All right, we'll go ahead and uh go to public hearing on this one.

Um again, public hearing, just like everything else.

You have a question or comment about this item, please step forward and or speak up online and limit your comments to three minutes or less.

Seeing none, we'll go ahead and close public hearing.

We're gonna open this back up to the commission for questions.

Uh we said we have the uh applicant here.

Mind coming down and sure state your name and address for the record.

Chris Lessig, uh 353 North, 3425 West in Leighton.

Okay, thank you.

Um I'll I'll start off.

Do you have an idea of what you're looking to do like long term on the property?

Yeah, just uh office complex area.

So lease it out to dentists, physical therapists, just people that need professional office space.

Cool.

Fairly straightforward to me.

And then stub out road, did you plan on making that connection or what uh to that 1775?

No.

I don't know if we want to make that connection or not.

It's probably gonna depend a lot on what the city wants to do right there.

Makes our piece a little bit better because it connects a subdivision to a development, but the neighbors may not want that, so I don't know.

Yeah, okay.

I have a question.

Do you have envision this as a multi-story situation?

Are you waiting to see how the the market shapes out making the decision at a later point?

No, ready to go in the near future.

Yeah, probably like one story office space.

Okay.

Kind of like that, those what that office space that you have up further up the east on Antelope on the south side, just those white buildings, and one of them kind of has that sile of things, something like that.

That's what we've done in the past.

And it would be multi-tenant.

Did I hear that?

Yeah, okay.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Cool.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I appreciate it.

All right.

Concerns, comments from the commission.

If not, we'll take motion.

I would just make a quick comment.

I feel like that is kind of odd geography that would make it difficult to have a highly functioning business or commercial where it's not on antelope.

It's kind of back away.

You'd end up going on that weird uh quail bluff, and you're almost getting in the neighborhoods.

Additionally, it's not so it's not great access for the the uh customers, but also I think it it would be tough if it would because then you'd have potential traffic issues right when people are getting off and on the freeway.

So I in my eyes, I feel like office space might be the best possible use.

Uh if I was getting a house, I would not want a house that's right there by the freeway in that an antelope in that little area.

And like I said, it's kind of an awkward spot.

So I feel like kind of a low impact office kind of situation might be the best situation there.

I concur with you.

Uh retail just doesn't make sense.

As much as many of us would want more that kind of business in our city, which we do.

I agree.

It just doesn't make sense for that area.

So and to be honest, don't we want more doctors, dentists, pits of therapists?

Physical therapists, highly educated professionals that are you know bringing those tax dollars and you know make making our community a better, more convenient place to live.

So that sounds like a good option to me.

All right.

I think maybe just to uh reiterate what uh Noah said uh with that one sliver piece is that the applicant did remove their uh request, and if they're no longer pursuing that, it might be worth reaching out again to see if you could uh expand your uh development to include that lot as well.

Say that in the SR.

So the the lot to the west is no longer uh they had an applicant and they're no longer uh pursuing that, and they may be open to some um partnering owners and right now they're all covering so but they may in the future we could maybe expand.

All right, we'll take a motion.

You want to scroll?

Can we get the language up there, please?

Yeah, yeah.

I didn't see one of them.

It's a recommendation.

Oh, also recommend make sure in the uh motion that this is a recommendation.

Sorry, I Royce is really nice.

He spoils you guys and he types out the language for you.

But I I actually didn't type any language, but let me uh if whoever's gonna make the motion, if you want to use the main page, there you go.

The opening page, you can actually base it off of that.

That's what I have historically done.

The main page.

You want to do that?

Yeah, I can do that.

So sorry to say that again to make a recommendation to the city to a approve or deny, whatever you're gonna suggest.

A zoning change.

Okay.

I move that uh the commission recommends to the city council approval of a rezone application from Chris excuse me from Chris Lessig of Rake LLC for approximately 2.205 acres located approximately 260 West Quail Bluff Rot Drive.

The request includes one parcel.

Um what's that?

Uh just the the zone right rezone to uh professional office space.

Thank you, Commissioner Baker.

We have a motion.

Do we have a second?

Second.

All in favor?

Aye.

Any opposed?

Motion passes.

We'll take a motion to adjourn to work session.

So moved.

Any opposed?

We have a second.

Yes.

Second.

All in favor.

Aye.

Opposed.

All right.

We are in work session.

Thank you, everyone.

Um yeah, we'll do that in small.

We'll start with the city council liaison report.

Sad, sad day.

This is Paul's last one.

Thank you, Paul.

Thank you.

So I don't have anything specific to report on as far as things the city council has voted on that might be pertinent to the planning commission.

But wanted to thank you all for the opportunity to be the uh liaison for the I think it's been four years that I've been the liaison.

So I appreciate all of your service.

Appreciate the opportunity to work with all of you.

Um, I'm going to be turning over the reins to Abe here.

Abe Pollard, uh newly elected city council member.

And so um he's gonna be here every other Tuesday night with you guys um to be our liaison.

But uh again, thank you for the opportunity.

So thank you, Paul.

Pleasure.

Thanks.

All right, city attorney.

Good to see you again.

It's good to be back.

And now that Paul's leaving, I feel much more comfortable being here.

Like to rebuttal.

Uh as many of you know, I used to attend planning commission fairly regularly, but uh I took a month off in October to go to Italy.

And when I got back, I was um convinced by my family doctor to get some testing done on my heart.

Spent basically November and December getting poked and prodded and injected with glow on the dark stuff and in and out of big donuts that go whirly whirly all around you.

And the good news is yes, I do have a lot of cholesterol in my system, but it's not blocking any arteries near my heart.

So uh looks like for now and maybe for the next several months or years, surgical intervention will not be necessary.

I do, however, um own a pharmacy now.

Yes, lined up, but it's good to be back.

And so uh from here on out, I'd like to get back in track.

We need to do the open meetings and ethics training.

Uh do that whenever you'd like, Mr.

Chair.

Um and then as I don't know if you remember, we started in September with a little bit of mini trainings that we were gonna do, and then I completely disappeared for three months.

So I'm ready to pick that stuff up and go whenever you're ready to do it.

Perfect.

Um, yeah, if are you you have one ready for us tonight?

I do not.

Okay, no problem.

We'll plan that for next time if that's okay.

You want do you want me to do the open meetings one that takes about 30 minutes next time or some other time?

Um, let's see how uh long the meeting is gonna be in the future.

But if it if we're dealing with like something that we got like tonight, then that would be fantastic.

All right, I'll wait to hear from Noah and Royce.

Kayla.

Appreciate it.

Thank you.

And if any of you get the Syracuse newsletter, please take an opportunity to look at the employee of the month.

So it's our own calling.

They only did that because I did not die.

Yeah.

Hey.

That was well deserved.

All right, upcoming agenda items.

I may be able to address the uh the next meeting length, possibly here.

Um, we don't have uh a ton.

Well, not much at all, honestly, for the next meeting.

Um, currently could be we'll get some stuff that comes in, uh sneaks in at the end of the week, but we'll see.

Um currently we we have a couple of things that well, a lot of stuff that's on the docket, but nothing that's quite ready right now.

Um couple of uh sort of bookkeeping general plan amendments around water.

Um we have the commons at Glen Eagle uh retail subdivision just west of the golf course clubhouse.

Um still waiting on updates on that one.

Uh Falcon Landing application Perry Homes, just uh north of where Bluff meets 3000.

Um that would be single family, still waiting on that one.

Uh Rocky Mountain Wellness just west of City Hall.

Uh, same there.

Um let's see.

We also have a revised site plan from Take Five Oil.

We may see that one next time.

I know they're they're working quickly on that one.

Um here.

We have an addition to Syracuse Arts Academy on Antelope, uh, that we're also waiting for some updates on.

Um we have, yeah, we have uh the Sim City project.

Uh it's uh what do you call it?

It's part just east of the uh pickleball kingdom um that we approved uh a few weeks ago.

Um also still waiting Lakeside Flat, which is the single family subdivision south of that one.

Um we are also waiting.

We have uh kind of a strange site plan application, uh unique, maybe not strange.

It's uh inbridge gas is putting in a facility at the southeast corner of 3000 west in our 2700.

Uh so it's it's a pump house.

They're gonna have a bunch of pipes coming out of the ground and things.

Um, but they have to go through the site plan process.

So uh we'll be seeing that.

There's not a whole lot necessarily to look at, but gotta approve it.

Uh easement then.

Uh I mean there will be easements, I would imagine leading out to the road, but it's uh it's a significant facility that manages the pressure and you know they're able to maintain uh I don't know, various aspects of the gas stuff.

I guess I'm not super familiar with the specifics, but there is a building and it's a it's about uh quarter acre-ish area.

I haven't any questions, but I'll wait until we see what's when it was.

Yeah, be happy to, I'm sure the applicant will be happy to answer the specific questions there.

Um we also have a revised site plan from the Monterey West project uh on 1550 west and about 300 south.

So they they're just looking at changing their landscape plan.

Um they move some things around, they're not gonna be building one of their buildings, so they want to move some amenities and so on.

So we'll be seeing that one.

We also have an application for a Dutch Bros coffee shop uh just west of the waffle love, like where the rush is um on 1700.

Um so we'll be looking at a site plan for that one.

Salt Rock subdivision, uh south of the interchange.

I guess east of the interchange with uh the West Davis Corridor in 2000 West.

Uh we saw phase one a few months back, and they're they've applied for phase two.

Uh and finally the Earthworks project uh over by um the Monterey West project.

They're um they're looking at changing some aspects of their exterior.

So we'll see if that makes it in.

Um, that one's probably gonna be at least a month out.

So that's what we have currently, and we'll keep you apprised as to the status of the next meeting.

And that Dutch Rose that you're talking about, that's in that empty lot right behind them.

Yes, that's correct.

Cool.

All right.

Thank you, Royce.

All right, commissioner reports.

Um, I'm gonna go ahead and uh start this with something.

Uh we received notification from uh resignation from Commissioner Anderson uh earlier uh about uh obviously he won't be able to be on the commission anymore.

Um I just want to uh publicly thank him for his service.

Um he's offered some really great insights and uh help while while he was serving as a commissioner.

So thank you, Commissioner Anderson.

Appreciate it.

Open it up to the rest of the commission.

Any reports, comments, concerns.

All right.

Well, I did have one quick question.

Sorry.

You you you you barely missed it.

Uh just an observation more than anything.

I've noticed that the the secondary water metering is going forward.

My whole neighborhood's been painted out.

Is there a timeline on that project?

I imagine it's multi-year.

It is multi-year, and state statute has a deadline to have them all installed by I think 2030.

So you're looking at several more years of that.

I guess it's been going around.

I just noticed it because all of a sudden they're just all over my neighborhood.

So they they must do a lot at a time and just dig a job and then they do.

They do an area at a time, and they've been doing it now.

I think this is probably like the third year in.

So they're at least two or three years left.

Okay.

The funny thing is is that uh um I'm friends with uh one of the city council members, and uh we were when I was visiting one time, they actually had a big pile of the boxes and the meters and everything they had left on his property because they were doing the area.

And he's like, I need to reach out to somebody if I know what all this is.

So pretty pretty funny there.

So all right.

Barring any other things, we'll take a motion to adjourn.

Move to adjourn.

All in favor?

Hi, hi.

All right, we are adjourned.

Thank you, everyone.

Thank you.
