Description/Background:
Nathan Boyer, on behalf of The Boyer Company (applicant), is requesting a change of zone district on one parcel, subject property, (7.2 acres) owned by the Canyons School District at 825 E. 9085 S. from the R-1-8 Zone ("Single-Family Residential District") to the PUD(12) Zone ("Planned Unit Development District"). The subject property is currently used for the Canyons School District's C-Tech facilities. The applicant is seeking to redevelop the property as a townhome project.
A neighborhood meeting was held on May 18, 2026. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 4, 2026. The Planning Commission forwarded a positive recommendation to the City Council by a vote of 7-0 (see attached minutes). The application was presented to the City Council as an informational item on July 7, 2026. The item was presented to the City Council for a decision on July 14, 2026. At that time, the City Council directed staff to prepare a development agreement to be associated with the rezone and to bring back the rezone application upon completion of a draft development agreement. The item, with the development agreement, was presented to the City Council on September 15, 2026. The Council voted to deny the associated ordinance and resolution.
In accordance with council policy on reconsideration and renewal of motions, "If properly placed on the Council Meeting agenda, any Member may Motion to Rescind or Amend an Action of the Council." Council Members Christensen and Stroud petitioned the chair to place this item back on the agenda so the council may consider amending its original action.
See the attached staff report for additional information on this request.
Further action to be taken:
The action requested by the Application is a rezone, a legislative item, together with a development agreement, being presented to the City Council, as the final decision-maker, on October 20, 2026.
