Carla Wiese, city long-range planning and economic development staff, said the change is a targeted step to preserve future design goals for the North Main corridor while the city completes a general plan and a zoning overhaul. \"We wanted to for the time being, put certain uses that would not be allowed within 500 feet of Main Street. It's just kind of a stop gap measure to prevent that until ... we get to the general plan rewrite,\" Wiese said.

Wiese said staff have received repeated inquiries from prospective buyers and businesses for parcels on the north end of Main Street — including a frequently discussed property at 1001 North Main, the Maurer house next to the Subway — with interest in used-car lots and auto repair shops. The proposed amendment would not force existing, legal nonconforming uses to close, Wiese said, but would prevent expansion of those uses in the affected stretch. \"Once we change the zone they're considered legal nonconforming uses. So they can continue in that ... they just are not allowed to expand,\" she said.

Commission discussion clarified that the change is not a moratorium. Wiese explained a moratorium has a six-month statutory limit; the proposed code change is a permanent amendment until the council or future code revisions change it again. Staff estimated \"about 4 or 5\" property owners would be affected by the prohibition in the specified stretch.

Commissioners asked about the timeline for a broader zoning overhaul; staff said the zoning rewrite connected to the general plan is expected in the first quarter of 2026. A commissioner summarized the approach as creating opportunities for more diverse street-facing businesses and better design standards rather than removing all commercial activity. One commissioner said they appreciated the proactive approach.

A motion to recommend approval of the amendment \"to prohibit certain uses within 500 feet of Main Street, Highway 89 from 400 North to 1060 North\" was made and seconded; the commission voted \"Aye\" and the recommendation passed. The transcript does not include a roll-call tally. The recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for final action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Springville City Council Meeting/ Planning Commission","oneSentenceSummary","The Springville Planning Commission recommended May 27 that the City Council amend the land-use matrix to prohibit certain uses — including auto sales and similar uses — within 500 feet of Main Street (Highway 89) between 400 North and 1060 North to support a more walkable North Main corridor.","taxTitle","Springville City Council, Springville, Utah County, Utah","taxId",67731,"location","Utah","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6534620,"Planning commission recommends senior-housing overlay for Eternal Springs; forwards to city council",411,157950,569575,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3536564-f667e0b58fb8fff643dd0910b1137d19&start=157&end=569","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3536564-f667e0b58fb8fff643dd0910b1137d19/thumbnail_157950.jpg","/articles/6534620/Utah/Planning-commission-recommends-senior-housing-overlay-for-Eternal-Springs-forwards-to-city-council","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6534620-664f7fe83b76651af2d8cbff68b69a5c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770930300&Signature=RC99vRYgiXuX4~eyd24O7yl~cQvLrTxhlBXYnycedKho-QNFHO7wh6jSSRssdZjE7PtlUFYrcWxPEDx2arc6j8MZfwuQvjwpxs5i~ihiJP1x1VEwKu-aO3QB8AQdB-ee7m3th~2nHkxnXqQ8j7Gb-AwB5b-qGL0nT8rQOkaWqWMcLiC9kzj92~ECD8f3BS4sezG5738jYJU36~35QPh-AJkWXWCcF6VESahPxImuw1Cr1WVeh4iw2F06d255V8metRJdKDkZW0zyVsvOf7GjAJpLJ8hkTVZ4qu8z-nBRIJVA08rP7pkUPt5Xbhgew9u066fBGGRYwkqpgxlfdIAclQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","SPRINGVILLE, Utah — The Springville Planning Commission on May 27, 2025, voted to recommend that the City Council adopt an amendment to Springville City Code Title 11, Chapter 5 to create a senior housing overlay zone for the Eternal Springs development.

Carla Wiese, a Springville city long-range planning and economic development staffer, told the commission staff and the petitioner worked to produce language that would allow independent senior living in a zone that had been designated for neighborhood commercial use. \"The Eternal Springs Senior housing overlay has come before the commission ... we had to continue the item while we figured out how to do residential in a zone that was commercial,\" Wiese said. She told commissioners staff made wording changes to align with other sections of city code but said there were \"no substantive changes as far as setbacks or the activation of the public realm with garages and parking behind so that the streets are not met with just a large block of garages or parking.\"

The petitioner, Greg, who represented Ashford Living and the Eternal Springs proposal, told the commission the applicant worked closely with staff to craft the code language and had no additional comments beyond supporting Wiese's presentation.

The overlay is intended to allow the applicant to establish independent senior-living housing in the neighborhood commercial zone while meeting city objectives on walkability and street activation. According to staff, the final draft keeps vehicle parking and garages behind buildings to preserve active street fronts and adopts setbacks consistent with other code sections.

A commissioner moved to \"approve the amendments to the Springville City Code, Title 11 Chapter 5 overlay district regulations, adding senior housing overlay zone as edited by staff,\" and a second was recorded. The commission voted \"Aye\" and the recommendation passed; commissioners did not record a roll-call tally in the meeting transcript. City staff said the commission’s recommendation will be transmitted to the City Council for final action.

The recommendation does not itself change property zoning; it is a planning commission recommendation to the City Council. Any final code change will take effect only if adopted by the City Council and as specified in the ordinance language.

The staff report and the petitioner’s proposal were the primary bases for the commission’s deliberations; no public commenters addressed the item during the hearing.","The Springville Planning Commission voted to recommend an amendment to city code creating a senior housing overlay zone for the Eternal Springs site. Staff said the overlay adapts a commercial zone to allow independent senior living while preserving street activation and setbacks; the recommendation now moves to city council.","actionData","errors"]
