Community development staff said recent state code changes narrowed administrative paths for some developments and left a gap for projects that need site-specific flexibility (setbacks, unit counts, impervious limits) but are too small to qualify for a traditional PDO. Staff presented draft language that borrows PDO concepts and would allow applicants to seek legislative review for deviations on smaller parcels.

Staff said one pending applicant has roughly a 1-acre parcel where a PUD-style approach could increase the buildable unit count (example discussed: turning a 4-unit layout into a 6-unit layout) but requires formal variation language and a public-review process. The proposed tool is intended to provide consistency and predictability so applicants and the public understand evaluation criteria and obligations of any development agreement.

Commissioners asked for a refined draft and agreed staff should return with a formal recommendation for public hearing. Staff said they would coordinate the drafting with the city attorney and DRC and aim to present a revised draft at a future meeting for commission deliberation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","March 12, Planning Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","City staff proposed adapting Planned Development Overlay (PDO) language into a new planning-and-development tool to give developers flexibility for projects under the current 5-acre PDO threshold; staff cited a pending ~1-acre application that would benefit from such a tool.","taxTitle","Centerville City Council, Centerville, Davis County, Utah","taxId",21218,"location","Utah","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6278441,"Centerville staff to research body-art zoning after council denies Main Street request",568,2286000,2854000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2641052-7a774aecb375dcf82e2ae19fedffbd9b&start=2286&end=2854","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2641052-7a774aecb375dcf82e2ae19fedffbd9b/thumbnail_2286000.jpg","/articles/6278441/Utah/Centerville-staff-to-research-body-art-zoning-after-council-denies-Main-Street-request","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6278441-d08a4427b24554f7ddd4c49f73264968/orig.mp4?Expires=1770732107&Signature=MyZsHkGKmVtRVMbne1V1xy4U1JT1TBJ~Xa1npMugQNrNofS3mmZW8T~d1y2UGJJa1PLyfzk98O0bF1tvOMJxHVphBqvLH2O1~yzWHqeMu3HR8xWDk14P7hb0gPrzrvd8eFNSBZ1E09SgrbLPDg8URFPey~lbm4lXmJlhM8vPOx2p46aNPypcAuAm8mx~Y54-raIAyiM5jzBLq1mT~RE5rWl3f-5eZgrzltKarvcDpehOz9shAdxS~y8BTq~1H1EJClKFFEXybqA2n8WUVGOVQ-MWIQpLaACXLjDjs7BLpi2MD8elX08U-3IrxkMPwIRFqVqghq8h1o5zP1~~RXCMpA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Centerville staff on March 12 presented draft zoning-text changes to define and place body art facilities in appropriate commercial and industrial zones after City Council denied a Main Street application in February. The Planning Commission asked staff to research neighboring jurisdictions and public-health regulations before the city holds a public hearing.

Planner Mike Eggert summarized the request’s history: an applicant (Nicole Hutchins) sought approval for body-art work on Main Street, and council members raised concerns about location, differentiating “fine-line tattoos” from other tattooing, and legal and administrative issues. The council denied that application on Feb. 18 and directed staff to draft clearer code language that aligns with state and county nomenclature.

City attorney Lisa (surname not specified in transcript) told commissioners there is legal risk to an outright ban: she reviewed case law from the Ninth and Eleventh Circuits that has found blanket prohibitions unconstitutional and noted the Tenth Circuit (governing Utah) has not issued a controlling decision she found that resolves the question for Utah. For that reason, she said, staff recommended creating a narrowly defined, regulated allowance for body art facilities in appropriate zones rather than an across-the-board ban.

The draft ordinance (proposed Ordinance 2025-04) would adopt the term “body art facility,” align definitions with state and Davis County health regulations, and add conditional-use or permitted-use designations in particular zones (staff identified CVH, Legacy Crossing PDO, IH, and LVH as candidate locations). Commissioners asked for further research about specific conditions that the city could reasonably require (hours, odor/chemical storage, fire-safety compliance) and whether procedures such as microblading and other permanent cosmetics should be treated separately.

Commissioners requested staff prepare a comparative survey of nearby jurisdictions and Davis County health regulations, clarify the municipal code text for permanent cosmetics, and return with recommended language and suggested conditions for conditional-use permits. No public hearing or ordinance vote was taken; staff will return with a formal recommendation and draft code language for Planning Commission review.","After City Council denied a Main Street body-art proposal in February, staff presented draft zoning-text changes on March 12 to create a citywide approach for 'body art facilities' and asked the Planning Commission for direction to research county and neighboring-city regulations and potential conditional-use conditions.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6278446,"Commission backs rezone and PDO amendment to transfer parcel to neighboring Packer property",510,1836000,2346000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2641052-7a774aecb375dcf82e2ae19fedffbd9b&start=1836&end=2346","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2641052-7a774aecb375dcf82e2ae19fedffbd9b/thumbnail_1836000.jpg","/articles/6278446/Utah/Commission-backs-rezone-and-PDO-amendment-to-transfer-parcel-to-neighboring-Packer-property","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6278446-e751b553a8990205c99c3c678df90a1c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770732107&Signature=WIhVm-chET2Zr389CYuGwc1rNJ62xxxoxuJuAAXRvNq32WQOgMEKIzHewwEuhBWzCwONsZMGvvgJoXvpWPcPlIv-WHkf6vJFbr5-Gf0y97lI-JXtkfHnNgSnWmbUQP3d3G4uDVP0R7ExNfxhAbGkP5aCNLn2Ivd9lzZXpEZH-XbsYp2iDnEqA5yuVL506b39FAN4cjpa7B0NTsp6JDDmoQz-F2sHTCDJsRmRTUquyXPNrHPO2lF~HQTOoK09PcRUrpfkrpBnOvrBmaeMpaQtgKILUWKob72B3NN58STt4u6slC4bOaFxJVvhA--9H3QK96U9ImNRKNPnLImU30fyIQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Centerville Planning Commission on March 12 voted unanimously to recommend City Council approve a zoning-map amendment and plan-development-overlay (PDO) amendment for parcel A of the Summerhill Lane plat so the parcel can be removed from the subdivision’s PDO and transferred to the adjacent parcel owned by Spencer and Pamela Packer.

Planner Sydney DeWeese said the proposed rezone would change parcel A from residential low to agricultural low, allowing the immediate transfer to the receiving parcel (parcel ending 0031) after the subdivision amendment is recorded. Staff told the commission the rezone and PDO amendment comply with general-plan goals and city code; staff recommended approval.

Russ Wilson of Symphony Homes said the application implements a private settlement and resolves access issues. A neighbor, Spencer Tucker, spoke in favor at the public hearing, saying the amendment is an avenue to settle the dispute and move forward.

The commission moved to recommend City Council approval based on the findings and conditions in the staff report and voted unanimously to forward the rezoning and PDO amendment.","The Planning Commission recommended City Council approve rezoning parcel A from Residential Low to Agricultural Low and a Plan Development Overlay amendment so the parcel can be transferred and legally attached to Spencer and Pamela Packer’s adjacent property.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6278451,"Planning commission recommends City Council approve Summerhill Lane fourth plat amendment",552,1383000,1935000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2641052-7a774aecb375dcf82e2ae19fedffbd9b&start=1383&end=1935","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2641052-7a774aecb375dcf82e2ae19fedffbd9b/thumbnail_1383000.jpg","/articles/6278451/Utah/Planning-commission-recommends-City-Council-approve-Summerhill-Lane-fourth-plat-amendment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6278451-5501f57e91f957ae29494f1c7f7726ad/orig.mp4?Expires=1770732107&Signature=KQ~rjliclkp6EqoKDmZrmAZkBhp5s72isuGnI~Jsaw7CMd8CWCKjIZD5MQrhfz-Dy-z2paGyF53lrFuL2t3XR5JjvcF51csgaMk3k2ji5YausTZOSOe9S4AxOi2Pp~rXZHYYfgr-My3b5U705pxVX1q~7zELlsCpddvnF0p-l3giltdBldJMaavoh5UjREnv6R0PuIy3c0-hEtrCYhI2cchfpok7QTOmDhdTB3Lc6y9tKqWGze06LT~PLZrE5AckVtP72rpifouUbCEncqad7lF3FZWScTzcon7m6UknYfZ9SOHaap84UJd3vKz0lJfW1mgvW1umBo2wu86dDxYOzQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Centerville Planning Commission on March 12 voted unanimously to recommend City Council approve the fourth amendment to the Summerhill Lane subdivision plat, a change that facilitates eight property exchanges from lots in the Summerhill Lane subdivision to an adjacent parcel owned by Spencer and Pamela Packer.

Planner Sydney DeWeese summarized staff review and noted the application seeks to remove a portion of the subdivision (parcel A on the proposed plat) from the planned development overlay and transfer it to parcel ending 0031 so the two properties can connect legally after recording. DeWeese said the Board of Adjustment previously approved related determinations and modifications on Jan. 13, 2025, and that the subdivision amendment is intended to satisfy conditions set by that board.

Russ Wilson of Symphony Homes said the amendment implements a private settlement and facilitates access to the Packer parcel; he told commissioners the application is the second step of a three-step process and that the applicant will comply with staff requests.

Staff concluded the amendment complies with Centerville Municipal Code 15.090.09 (plat amendments) and recommended the commission forward a positive recommendation to City Council subject to the listed conditions and findings in the staff packet.

Staff planner Mike Eggert told commissioners the conceptual application met completeness requirements under the city’s subdivision checklist and municipal code and that the project has already been reviewed by the city’s design review committee. Eggert said the site comprises two parcels (060060118 and 060060082) currently zoned commercial very high and that a site plan for Lot 2 would come later.

“We did receive earlier today commentary from the neighboring property, the North Centreville Flex Project LLC, through their legal representation that provided a prescriptive easement claim for a portion of property on the north end of Lot 1,” Eggert said. He added the claim and the letter were provided to the city attorney and placed on the record.

Spencer Wright of Wright Development Group, the applicant, told the commission the prescriptive-easement dispute was a private legal matter and that the developer does not believe the claim prevents the subdivision from moving forward conceptually. “We bought the land about five years ago…we don’t believe there is an easement there and we think the legal process will bear that out,” Wright said.

Commissioners debated whether the newly disclosed claim should delay conceptual approval. One commissioner said the claim creates a “cloud” that could complicate later land-use approvals, while others noted conceptual approval does not finalize easements and that the city’s preliminary and final plat reviews will require all easements of record to be shown.

The commission approved the conceptual plan by motion with conditions and findings included in the staff packet. The motion advanced the project to the next steps (preliminary subdivision review and, later, final plat and city council action) but did not resolve the ownership or easement dispute. Staff advised the prescriptive-easement issue would be examined during preliminary review, when title reports and recorded easements are required.

Commissioners and staff also noted site details shown in the packet: a planned dedication for a future roundabout at the interior roadway, a Dominion Energy easement that prohibits buildings but allows parking and landscaping, and standard design-review comments included as guidance for later submittals.

The commission’s approval was a conceptual clearance, not a determination of final plat approval or of the validity of the easement claim. The applicant and staff were told to resolve or further document the prescriptive-easement claim before the preliminary subdivision stage.

Votes at the meeting recorded the commission approving the motion; the transcript does not include a complete roll-call tally in names and counts for publication, but staff recorded that the motion carried and the item will proceed to preliminary review.","The Centerville Planning Commission approved a conceptual two-lot commercial subdivision for Legacy Commons (8.55 acres) at Parrish Lane and 1250 West while noting a prescriptive-easement claim on the north edge of the property that staff said should be resolved before later stages.","actionData","errors"]
