The recommendation supports reclassification from R-3 and RA-1 to C-3 and RA-1, with a boundary adjustment to place the development envelope in a single zone.

Applicant Courtney (representing the National Ability Center) told the commission the adaptive recreational service provider land-use category is \"mission critical\" for the NAC and is the only use category that fits the organization's planned expansion. She asked the commission to approve the map amendment so the organization can proceed with its site plan and programmatic plans.

Staff said the rezoning was intended to run concurrently with an earlier pre-annexation agreement and the annexation of nearby parcels (602 and 611 Cermak were annexed June 4, 2024), but a procedural noticing step for the zoning map amendment was omitted. The current action \"cures a procedural defect\" by completing the public-hearing notice and zoning-change process required under city procedures.

Commissioners asked about notice to adjacent residents; staff confirmed surrounding property owners were mailed notices and no public comments had been received to date. Commissioners discussed the existing county parcels nearby and whether the new zone would create a narrow peninsula; staff said the change aligns the parcel with adjacent commercial annexations and would not create an undue planning issue.

Action: Commissioner Shaylee Bryant moved that the Planning Commission forward a positive recommendation to City Council for Ordinance 2025-14 (rezoning parcel 01-0036-0040 to C-3 and RA-1 and adjusting the boundary); Carolyn Conant seconded. Roll-call votes: Shaylee Bryant: Aye; Miles Lofton: Aye; Carolyn Conant: Aye; Jill Tatton (chair): Aye. Motion passed 4-0.

Staff indicated the rezoning implements terms already identified in the 2024 pre-annexation agreement and will allow the NAC to continue with site planning and development of adaptive recreational facilities pending final council action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Moab Regular Planning Commission Meeting - August 14, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend City Council approve Ordinance 2025-14, rezoning parcel 01-0036-0040 (approximately 610 Cermak) to C-3 with an RA-1 overlay and adjusting the split-zone boundary so the National Ability Center can be designated as an adaptive recreational service provider.","taxTitle","Moab City Council, Moab, Grand County, Utah","taxId",23560,"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},6497551,"Planning commission forwards EV‑readiness rules for multifamily housing to City Council",1794,1126000,2920000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5588444-1f82ae49046a8ee211bb168d57b7b912&start=1126&end=2920","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5588444-1f82ae49046a8ee211bb168d57b7b912/thumbnail_1126000.jpg","/articles/6497551/Utah/Planning-commission-forwards-EVreadiness-rules-for-multifamily-housing-to-City-Council","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6497551-31bd3722d75aeed18d3d8841d78fa028/orig.mp4?Expires=1770615264&Signature=bKFRxrMhzvaLb1hvS6lD26twe83UmHKAxKXKD73Nl90T19zltIMG2bVJ6eqpBr7VpI546UZih3rIZxDcM~vO0LXsf6zphNWgr41-vzUggehu0ucfeGMXhPfqabfjQPUPc96oRefG3soorPD9JxbYYQlTWVpUO6fhm7UuPenlmJb6iiMjsb65CzcFNG7a71HcosE0hHBBvTM1YNvKmaz8ZgDHuLiEqWFISZM1nM2jrWBZ-A9SoFUERLF30bH7wi77KNgPFoJ5RYOoFpS94TAswffx3~S7pknXwVl7k25XD7oeZiCuz7C1dHtBYFPikrCryVjyjOS3KtSjaBNy7X758A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Moab Planning Commission voted 4-0 to forward a positive recommendation to City Council for an ordinance amending Moab Municipal Code section 17.09 to require electric vehicle (EV) readiness for multi‑household developments.

Planning staff presenter Alexi Lam summarized the draft ordinance, which would require that 10% of required parking spaces be \"EV capable\" (electrical panel capacity and conduit terminated near parking) and an additional 10% be \"EV ready\" (electric outlet/connection present), for a total of 20% readiness among required stalls. Lam said the ordinance applies to parking associated with multi‑household dwellings and includes exemptions, an exception process, ADA and fire-safety references, and review procedures.

Alexi Lam framed the measure as supporting city council climate and renewable-energy goals, citing council resolutions adopted earlier that set targets for greenhouse-gas reductions and renewable electricity. \"About 80% of charging happens at home,\" Lam said, and noted that many renters have limited control over parking. Lam also presented the cost rationale: installing conduit and capacity during new construction is substantially less expensive than retrofitting later.

Commissioners discussed concerns about imposing added costs on multifamily developers given housing needs. Lam and staff said the draft avoids requiring installed chargers (EV installed) and instead focuses on low-cost readiness measures; staff added that exceptions can be granted where compliance would create an undue hardship. An electrical stakeholder who responded to staff outreach noted the draft aligns with the direction of the National Electrical Code and that communities are moving toward similar requirements; that stakeholder was not present for formal testimony.

Action: Commissioner Carolyn Conant moved to forward a positive recommendation on Moab City Ordinance 2025-13 (an ordinance amending MMC 17.09 for EV readiness of multi‑household development); Miles Lofton seconded. Roll-call votes were Carolyn Conant: Aye; Miles Lofton: Aye; Shaylee Bryant: Aye; Jill Tatton (chair): Aye. The motion passed 4-0.

Staff said the ordinance includes an incentives provision for single‑ and two‑household dwellings (permit-review cost reduction) and detailed capacity, signage and maintenance requirements for EV equipment. Existing parking lots and multifamily properties are treated as legal nonconforming and would be required to come into compliance only when they undergo substantial parking area modifications or electrical service upgrades as specified in the ordinance.","The commission voted 4-0 to recommend that City Council adopt an ordinance (2025-13) amending MMC 17.09 to require 10% EV‑capable and 10% EV‑ready parking for multi‑household developments, with exemptions and an exception process.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":80,"_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":74,"_75":74},6497555,"Planning commission approves landscape exception for 1581 Mill Creek Drive",916,210000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5588444-1f82ae49046a8ee211bb168d57b7b912&start=210&end=1126","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5588444-1f82ae49046a8ee211bb168d57b7b912/thumbnail_210000.jpg","/articles/6497555/Utah/Planning-commission-approves-landscape-exception-for-1581-Mill-Creek-Drive","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6497555-ad81fc5a08a5169d4b179f2e16e9146a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770615264&Signature=XeCP8Tne~mF-w69U0s1di~YKWxSNeRETsY1jvOqhEkWtmv0ggM9rRpipOR-SsRMM2Ms6AQDts4kZZEIEgF9QLh9HUUksMPz07X6iYB~HD9FUeW9PKFUhDJ8FTRcP2SkWD~mzJFwcOARKkdbDiDagyJeDE~TzIJpr0RqLy2wgU5WIFMZtvu1e~2Wy5z30cAZVvsxMAciJO3CObK2jn9uJI5xZOSt3mVt7jlJEmLXgsHXHmqbNWTxopPyx2fTabFJooTkUFmukj5wFQdwqmgFM5tX8b8aDollDvKaPYw6Tqh-u7zwgP~KSx5ws0mFOFF08sg1Bw6envwEluC91VQGtfg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Moab Planning Commission approved Planning Resolution 2025-12, a landscaping special exception for property at 1581 Mill Creek Drive, by a 4-0 roll-call vote during its regular meeting on Aug. 12, 2025.

The exception allows the developer to place 5 feet of the required 15-foot landscape buffer in the city right-of-way adjacent to Mill Creek Drive, rather than entirely on private frontage. Planning staff said the applicant will still provide a total of 15 feet of separation between the buildings and the street by splitting the buffer between the private property and the park strip in the right-of-way.

Planning Department staff Johanna Blanco summarized the department's analysis and said the request must be considered under the general landscape exception because the code section cited is not part of the landscaping buffer section: \"This code section...is not eligible for that special buffer exception,\" Blanco said.

Applicant Jake Williams told the commission the project is an affordable housing development that has been awarded federal and state tax credits and \"will stay affordable long term at an average of 60% of the area median income.\" He said tax-credit financing prohibits student-occupied units and that shifting five feet of landscape to the park strip produces a better pedestrian experience while avoiding additional footing and foundation work necessary on the steeper portion of the site. Williams said the development team hopes to break ground before the end of the year.

Commissioners asked about the extent of the proposed park strip and connectivity: the applicant said the landscaped strip would extend to the corner and tie into an existing ramp and crosswalk. Commissioners who spoke described the proposal as \"straightforward\" and as improving the pedestrian environment while preserving the total required buffer.

Action: The motion to approve Planning Resolution 2025-12 was moved by Miles Lofton and seconded by Shaylee Bryant. The roll-call vote was Shaylee Bryant: Aye; Miles Lofton: Aye; Carolyn Conant: Aye; Jill Tatton (chair): Aye. The motion passed 4-0.

The commission's approval is a land-use-level exception; implementation will proceed through subsequent site-plan and construction-permit reviews where staff will verify compliance with the conditions and the approved plan. No public testimony was submitted for this item at the meeting.","The Moab Planning Commission voted 4-0 to approve Planning Resolution 2025-12, allowing a 5-foot portion of the required 15-foot landscape buffer to be installed in the city right-of-way adjacent to 1581 Mill Creek Drive for a planned affordable multifamily development.","actionData","errors"]
