Planning Commission - Regular Meeting

Hi everyone. You may you may know this, but um the chambers are muted still, so I can't hear you. Thank you. How's this, Carolyn?

All right. Thank you. Uh, we will start over. I will now once again call to order this Thursday, September 25th meeting of the Moab City Planning Commission at 6:05 p.m. Uh, in attendance, we have city staff Kelsey Garcia, Johanna Blanco, and Corey Sherliff, as well as all five planning commissioners, Carolyn Conan is here virtually, myself, Ka Marinfeld, Shaylee Bryant, Miles Loftton, and Jill Tatton. Um, we also have someone who I am assuming is one of our applicants in the audience. Great. we will get to you. Um and otherwise we don't have anyone in chambers um this evening. Uh first item of business is citizens to be heard. Uh this is for items that are not on the agenda this evening. I don't believe we have anything for citizens to be heard. No one is here in chambers apart from an applicant. So we can move on. Uh next item of business is approval of minutes from our August 14th, 2025 meeting. Um those are attached to the packet. If someone who was there, which was not me, uh those of you that were, if you have any anything to say, any corrections, um feel free. Otherwise, we can entertain a motion to approve those minutes. All right. Actually, could I have you just turn your mic into it just because our lovely uh notetaker is listening virtually? I make a motion to approve the August 14th minutes.

Awesome. Uh we have a motion to approve the minutes from August 14th from Shaylee Bryant. Uh is there a second? I'll go ahead and second that. All right. A second from Jill Tatton. Any discussion? Okay. Uh all in favor of approving the minutes from our August 14th meeting say I. I. I. I.

All right. Minutes approved. 50. Uh, next, moving on, our first action item, item 4.1, consideration and possible approval of planning resolution number 202513, a planning resolution approving the parking special exception request for two parking spaces for the Desert and Tropics Health Bar change of use for property located at 45 East Center Street, Moab, Utah, 84532. All right. Um, city staff, take it away, please. Are you the applicant for this item? If you'd like to come to the DAS, you're welcome to. If you have anything to say after city staff make their presentation, you're welcome to. Sorry y'all. I got to get myself off video real quick.

Okay. Okay. candy. How do I quietly open this? Yeah. They do that.

Okay. Today we have the parking special exception request for Desert and Tropics Help Bar uh which is located at 45 East Center Street, also known as 37 East Center Street as it shares um tenency in that building. Um the property owner is our very own Shaylee. [Music] Um, it's in the C3 zone and our applicant today is Cassandra Washington.

So, Cassandra submitted a business license that uh required a change of use and the change of use increased the parking requirement from four spaces to six spaces. on September 3rd, she submitted the application for the parking exception uh for the remaining two spaces. Uh in your packet today was her letter to you all explaining the ration. Um the request she's ex u requesting is under MMC 1709 22. Um, this is her floor plan, um, which lays out the square footage of each use. We've got 980 square ft of the eating establishment use, uh, which requires 4.9 parking spaces. And then we have 120 square ft of retail use uh which requires 04 parking spaces. Uh together that means she needs six spaces and there are four already there from an existing use. This is the narrative submitted by the applicant. It's in your packet. So, I'm not going to read this one. She can speak to these points uh when when ready. Um, and this is the code section that we're looking at for her uh parking exception today.

Awesome. Thanks, Johanna. Yes. Uh, great. Welcome. Thank you. Thanks for um your really great letter. Honestly, I think it articulates everything I would have questions about. It's really nicely presented. It makes good sense to me. If there's anything you'd like to add or just elaborate on, feel free if you just want to introduce yourself quickly so we have that for the record. Yeah. Um otherwise, we can just I think we move through this pretty quick. So,

okay. Yeah. Well, thank you for having me, Sandra Washington. Um, I'm really excited about this opportunity be to become a business owner here in Moab. Um, really excited about it. So, uh, one thing that I did not mention in my letter that I think is relevant is um the city's addition to um the, uh, this uh, off-site parking that we've just added. Mhm.

Um that just encourages pedestrians on and off Main Street and less traffic. And um from my um observation being at that shop every day, working in there and creating this space, uh the amount of pedestrians is exciting to see. Um a lot of tourism up and down that street. So, um, it would be a great opportunity to add this business there and just create more pedestrians walking up and down these streets and more business to um, other local businesses that are there as well. So, yeah,

great. Thank you. Yeah, thank you. Um, all right. Oh, prior to commission deliberation, I just wanted to touch on a point that then maybe it can be added to deliberation on this and it I don't know if it was brought up within the packet itself is I just further discussion before the applicant leaves

would appreciate for the body to consider precedent of previous approvals. Okay. And the idea is that we have multiple mechanisms. Um I think given cases the commission has shown even despite what we'll call a neutral or kind of a tie recommendation of well it's it's a bit sorted and what I'm talking to is that there are tiers of exception one of those prior to a full exception is the fee and loo option in this zone that being said the commission has by precedent also acknowledged particular differences on sites where parking al increases depending on scope maybe even though that is in the latter of tools, you skip a run, so to speak. Yeah. So, I'm not I'm not trying to sway one direction there, but it is important for precedent's sake, for findings of fact that we don't get ourselves into an issue uh that we're being arbitrated in our application of our findings. So, if I can, that was a lot of jargon. I'm just going to sail it out to you guys. So, if we need to get into Yeah. the nuts and bolts of that, we can, but I'll that's prior to uh end of presentation. Y send that out there.

Thank you. Um, can you remind me actually on that note, Corey, the um the establishment that's in that really narrow space on Main Street that we granted a parking exception to, was that a family or was that just an exception for a space that there's this was the Bonjour on Main? Yes. And that was with the change of use from retail food establishment, but the given the graband go square footage. Yep. It would have been a fee and loo and it was only one space. So, it would have been a fee and loo for the one space. In this case, commission opted to skip the wrong angle just to except you for the one. That was my question. In other cases, we've seen with multiples that you have used the multi-rong option, so to speak.

Uh that specific instance seems very appropo to this one as well. It's a grab-and-go eating establishment where you are in a high foot traffic area. Um where I should actually open the discussion, I should say. Um, okay. We had our presentation. We've heard from the applicant. Um, yeah, that that instance that we did grant an exception for the required parking space. Um, just a variance um seems to fit the situation as far as um it being comparable. So,

as far as use, yeah, I think the one thing that we discussed a lot with that other approval was the fact that they had incredibly minimal square footage. If I remember right, it was like sub 200 square feet. It's very small, too. Um, and this is an 1100 foot space.

Um, which, and just playing the devil's advocate here, could theoretically host a fair few more people um, in and serving, which is both a good thing, but also theoretically reason for parking. Um, I had a question which was just, uh, in your letter you mentioned like you're going to have very streamlined staff, so you wouldn't need a lot of parking to support your staff. Ballpark number of staff members you're planning on having at any given time. Um, right now I plan on two at the most. Uh, me being one of them and, um, I plan on being there every day running it. Um, seasonally, uh, the less employees the better. Yeah.

Um, so, uh, my husband also is somebody that, uh, can work with me as well, which would eliminate, um, parking that way. True. Yeah. Not that employees also couldn't like bike commute there. Yeah. Just saying it out loud. I think that, you know, downtown dispersed parking has added spaces significantly. So, yeah, significant amount of spaces. We did give that was atlan over on the other side near the food truck park

because there's so many more spaces now and there were more coming then even too. I think kind of all things considered, I'm certainly inclined to to grant the exception. I think because of the use for the reasons laid out in the letter because it does seem very comparable to the straight up exception we gave for one space for the bonjour main this year as well. Um so that's where I'm at. But um anybody else have thoughts, questions, concerns? Carolyn, you as well feel free to unmute anytime. I'm just trying to decide if this is closer to press or closer to boner. I think closer to boner main. We did we did ask to to provide a feed.

Totally. I think press is a huge space too. Well, and I'm going to recuse myself from voting. But being in that building myself, um I do think we have a a parking lot in the back that is where employees park, so it's not taking up public parking. Y um and honestly having periods in there is probably going to be the in my opinion the busiest parking and we don't seem to have a problem especially since the the city has updated the parking so I I think there's good good parking flow and from a building standpoint we're really excited about

yeah but my mind I press one's large press is also an event space at times which I do think makes it a bit different Yeah, agreed. Versus just walk in, get your smoothie, get your assai bowl, walk out. I just saw like basically presses, you know, coffee with some retail. And in this space, we also have like coffee and smoothies with a small portion of retail. Yep. So, I just wanted to Yeah. No, that's a good that's a good but absolutely what Corey mentioned, we want to be consistent in the recommendations that we're making for just a straight up approval because this is us, right? This doesn't go to city council, right? Yeah, this is just Yeah,

great. Um, all that said, if there's not further discussion, we can entertain a motion.

I I agree with um all of the comments that Ka and Miles mentioned. I think it's really comparable to some of the other examples that we've seen. And just wanted to raise again, I think I brought up once in the past the question of as we're doing our um code overhaul, potentially exploring the idea of having sort of like a geograph geographically designated portion of like the main street downtown corridor where if there are changes in use that necessitate up to a certain number of additional parking spaces, could be could be two, could be four, whatever, but a smaller number that maybe there could be a mechanism for sort of like a blanket um or automatic exception so that we're not having to kind of go through this process for those more straightforward cases that are in the specific geographic area that's also benefiting from the additional parking stalls that were um recently installed during the the dispersed downtown parking project. So, just wanted to mention it again because we keep seeing uh these kinds of cases come forward.

Definitely. Thanks, Carolyn. Anybody? Any checkers?

Scrolling. I know. I know you guys are looking at me. I'm recusing myself. Is recusing herself. Um, I'll make a motion to approve planning resolution 2025-13, a plan resolution uh for the special parking exemption exception request for two parking spaces for the Desert Tropics and Health Bar change at 45 East Center Street, Moab, Utah 84532. All right, we have a motion, a positive motion from Miles. Is there a second? I'll go ahead and second that. Okay, a second from Jill. Um, any further discussion from anyone before we take a vote?

I think we differentiated it from some of the other things that we've done to set the president that this is a quick in-n-out spot and uh that was what I wanted to voice. So, I'm happy to support it as it is. Awesome. Thanks, Miles. Okay. Uh, all in favor of the motion on the table, please say I. I. I. I. Okay. And uh Shaylee is recusing herself. So the motion passes 4 with one recusing. All right. Great. Thank you. Thank you so much. And good luck with everything. Look forward to it. Be good. Yeah. I'll get down on some smoothies for sure.

Always a lot of really excited about All right. Uh next item 4.2. consideration and possible approval of planning resolution number 202515. A planning resolution approving the parking special exception request for one parking space for property located at approximately 160 East 100 South Moab Utah 84532. I believe this is Becky. Hi. Hi. Feel free to come up if you'd like to. Both of you. All right. Is this you again, Johanna? Yes.

All right. Oh, pardon. Sorry everybody. Yeah. Two desert. SP Okie do. Oh, share my screen quite yet. Okay. Now we got it. Okay. This is a parking special exception request for 160 East 100 South. Um, this property also goes by uh 170 East and sometimes even 150 East. Um, so I've got the parcel number there to clarify. Um, the property owner and applicant today is Becky Bird. Um, so Becky's property, um, if you're

familiar with the old Wabishabi building, she's moving in some new tenants. She's got, um, that front building is a new eating establishment and she's also got a tour company in a small portion of the back building. Um so those two came for business licenses and then after those small changes of uses she has now triggered into a site plan review. So along with this site plan review we're establishing all the future uses of the future tenants that are going to be coming in. And so we've done the parking calculation of all of those soon to come and we have calculated that she needs 29 spaces and there are 28 currently at the location. Um so on September 18th, Becky submitted an application for a parking exception for that last space. Yes. Here is the site plan showing the 28 existing spaces. And then up here is that eating establishment. And then uh here is the Oh.

Oh, that's not right. Um

it's all right. The math is correct. Not the picture. Um, not the picture. Apologies. I think I have a different draft um pulled up here. Um, but the math is correct. Let's go with that. Um, we've got commercial recreation, which is that tour company that needs u one and a half spaces. We've got that uh eating establishment in that front building that requires 6.6 965 spaces. And then all the rest of the uses fall into the retail service um office category which all has the same parking calculation. And those all combined require uh 20 um 81. And so all rounded up together they require 29 spaces. This is the narrative submitted by the applicant. Again, this was um in the packet. So, I won't speak on that. Um and then again, this is the code under which she is be seeking the exception,

right? Um, Becky, do you have anything you'd like to add before we have a discussion? All right. Pretty straightforward. Yeah, if you'd like to see the floor plan, I can bring that up. Sure. Why are we pulling that up? I'll kind of It's beautiful. Yeah,

I'll interject again to the same extent I I mentioned the last comment. Um however almost to the contrary is that um with this process the C2 zone so those zones outside of that specific to the C3 central commercial zone does not offer that rung of the fianl. So the only option is an exception or not. So we don't that contemplation isn't quite the same precedent that we just discussed. So that being said I think we do have a number of other exceptions in C2 zone that we've gone through before. Yeah. Not dissimilar to this one. Yes. um least of which I think is the new wabishabi. Correct. I think it was most that was the most recent in the C2 specifically. Yeah.

Yep. Are the business hours consistent in all the businesses or they're all daytime businesses? Uh pretty much. Yeah. The restaurant like more night. No. I was going to ask if the outfitter was planning on having clients meet them and leave their vehicles there while they took trips or if they would be meeting their clients elsewhere. Both. Okay. Good question. Also, this is Becky Bird speaking the applicant just speaking to you on the record here. Sorry. Becky Bird and Progyny.

Uh yeah, I mean it can honestly 28 spaces is a lot. It is. It's already been provided. There's nothing else in this zone that provides that many spaces. That is a hotel. Not a s super active business spot during the day. Like those those spots get busy at night for games and stuff, but on on one of the wider streets in town where there's plenty of on street parking. Next to other businesses that you also own. So

lots of parking available all day. So the adjacent properties are not burdened by this. Um and no I think honestly 28 spaces is already I understand where our parking calculations come from but I also do think once you hit a certain threshold of number of spaces total things become a little more immaterial is kind of where where my mind is. So yeah, I think the only discussion would have been if it was C3, whether it was FU or otherwise, but at D2, I think the exception was the way to go.

Yeah. And you know, Wabby never had trouble with parking spaces with having enough even when things were really busy there, even with consistent drop off and pickup and trucks and all that kind of stuff. So, I do think there's certainly recent precedent at this exact same location for how how manageable it is to have frankly what I see as a ton of parking. Yeah. And I think they had like eight to 10 of their parking spaces taken up by a conx and then like all their drop off area. So, yeah, more of the parking lot will be utilized. Yeah. Oh, and the dumpster too. Yeah, there's a lot that's totally

and yeah, fair bit of street parking there as well. Yeah, there's there's lots of street parking. Um, uh, can I ask what the restaurant is? Are you at River? It's an existing business that's moving moving and expanding the, uh, gelato place by the brewery. So, they're going to add like a small bakery sandwich, I think. Oh, sweet. Yeah. Very cool. So, a little lunch spot, coffee spot. Love it. Ice cream after soccer. Great. Oh, yeah. Oh, that would be a great open that way. Yeah, I was just gonna say like that's a really nice spot to have adjacent to the ball fields, too.

All right, cool. Um, same deal for everybody. We can, uh, have further discussion if there's questions for the applicants. Um, or we can entertain a motion. I'll make a motion to approve. Sorry guys, you got to walk me through this. There's there is a motion in the agenda summary. It's very helpful. Okay. Sorry. Or there should be. This is only my There may not be. This is my No, it's not. There's not. If you just you got to cobble it together from the title. You

from the title from the agenda page. uh from the uh planning resolution 15-202560 East 100 South for special parking exception. Is that you'll need to to make a motion to it would be approved or deny? Is that making a motion to approve city of Moab planning resolution 15-2025 160 East 100 South special parking exception.

I will just uh ask that you amend that to be 2025-15 in that order. and that to 2025-15. There you go. Perfect. I think that'll suffice. Okay. So, we have a motion to approve uh planning resolution 2025-15 from Shaylee. Is there a second? I'll second that. All right. A second from Miles. Um, any further discussion? Caroline, Jill, anybody? No wonder no one likes to make motions. Well, they used to be written out 15- the title. Oh, I was like just reading it. All right, we're all in pink versus the

I'm going to go home and it's okay. You're okay. You did fabulously. You were good. Uh uh if there's no further discussion, we can take a vote. Um the motion on the table is to approve planning resolution parking special exception request 202515. Um all in favor say I. I. I. I. All right. Uh motion passes 5. Thank you very much. Good luck with the new spaces. So excited. Lots of like spaces coming in. I'm so excited. Thank you. Yeah. Bye.

Um All right. Moving on. Next agenda item, action item 4.3, consideration and possible approval of planning resolution number 14-2025. Oh, yeah. We're all over the place.

See? Um, uh, should be 2025-14, a resolution conditionally approving a level two site plan for the cooperative 1581 for property located at Mil Creek Drive, Mo, Utah 84532. Um, summary in our packets, staff, all you, and it looks like we do have the applicant um, with us on Zoom. We can kick it over to you, Jacob. Uh if you have anything to add after city staff make their presentation.

Oh Keith, I just want to see that floor plan again one more time in this in this that we're just really excited about the

excited really excited. Okay, this is the 1581 Mil Creek site plan um approval. We are at 1581 Mil Creek Drive. Um property owner is Red Rock Partners. We are in the C4 general commercial zone. Our applicant is Jake Williams. The proposed use is residential, multi- household um and the more detailed apartments. We have 144 units and 216 parking stalls. Um Jake applied for the level two site plan on May 6th and we went through three rounds of development review team. Um and then now they have approved the plans with a few conditions. Here is their site plan.

Now we have the renderings and an example of their floor plan. Ah, it looks pretty.

This is the uh new landscaping plan after we had had that landscaping exception. And here is the narrative submitted by Jacob. This this was with their first um DRT round. So, this has changed just a little bit, but I think it touches nicely on the fact that this project is a uh low-inccome housing tax credit uh project. Um, yeah, I think I'll let him speak a little bit more to the ins and outs of the project uh when it is his time. And then last thing uh is this plan meets all of the planning standards as you can see by the matrix in your packet um and has been approved by all other departments. Um there are two conditions on the suggested motion. Um the conditions that we suggest are um so the first map over there is right from our parcel viewer map. It's the layout of all the um parcels in this project when it was first proposed. And then on the right you can see when first proposed we had uh they kind of line up with the phases that were going to happen. Phase one, phase two, phase three. Um due to LITC funding cycles um and just convenience and ease, they are just um going to do phase one for now. Um and so we need to put a boundary. oop um around phase one so

that those other two um are open. Um so that requires adjusting property lines from the left photo to the right photo. Um so that has yet to be done. So that's just one condition. Um and then the second condition is um as they will no longer be all one project, we need to get a grading easement agreement um for the now neighboring uh parcel that's newly created after the boundary adjustment. Okay, that is my presentation on this. Um, Jacob, is there anything you'd like to add? If you would just um unmute yourself and introduce yourself first if you'd like to say something.

Yeah, you bet. I'd love to. Uh, thanks to Johanna and Staff First. Uh, but so I'm Jake Williams. I represent a company called 22 Communities. We're a mission-driven affordable housing developer. And then we're partnering with the land owner down there is Red Rock Partners who owns a handful of hospitality and restaurant um, establishments in Moab and are based down there. And then another developer, Garn Development. the two of them approached us um because they have a large workforce housing need and I'm sure you are all familiar with affordable housing shortage down there and so they approached us. We've probably been working on it for about a year and a half behind the scenes. I know some word has gotten out, but we've been working really hard with staff to try and kind of understand the topography and work within some of the limitations of that site uh to do what we feel really proud of is a is a really efficient um but but very hopefully as you can see from the from the drawings, our goal is to not have it feel or look like what you might imagine when you hear affordable housing. Our goal is to have it uh fit in with the style and the and the history of Moab and hopefully be a good contributor for years to come uh with affordable housing that will stay uh restricted for for 55 years. So, we we love the ability to be a part of Moab. Um we're we're based in northern Utah, but Moab's one of my favorite places in the world to visit still. So, we're excited to to be a part of it and happy to answer any questions you have. Um, as far as our kind of project schedule goes, we were hoping to break ground this month. We're a couple months behind, but we're still in line. We've got all of our financing lined up. Um, and we're we're ready to hopefully break ground by the end of November. I'm hoping to beat Thanksgiving to make it a happy Thanksgiving for everybody. So,

great. Thanks so much, Jacob. And if if there's something you'd like to add at any point during the discussion, um, feel free to unmute and just indicate. That sounds great. Thank you. All right. Um, so just looking at the site plans here, Cy, what is the Can you elaborate on the dis the um restrictions that we're operating under here? Know they're getting lit credits. So the low-inccome housing tax credit for those who are not familiar with that acronym.

Correct. So yeah, so that is a separate and outside restriction that'll be applied to the property. So they do have and Jake, you can certainly jump in and speak to this, a separate application process which they've already gone through and been awarded for. So at this point within this zone there are no additional um which um maybe speaks to the idea of the amendment that we were we're going from a phased LITC project which had honestly a significant layering of complexities easements utilities considerations of ownership that complicated not only their litex system but also how we were going to advance the project. In addition to that, we we're working with other groups that are approaching a similar style project, how our ADH conditions would either apply or not apply in that sense and how that may align with some of the life conditions or not. So now that we've isolated what phase one was into just a singular project. So that's how we're advancing this. This is a byite project going through as a multi household in the C4. Uh therefore there are no additional conditions nor does that zone require a percentage of ah without additional uh agreements for any other waivers. I know this group is coordinating with our administration on potential and options for impact waiver impact fee waivers. Again just trying to advance the affordability throughout the project as best as best we can. However, what this is a uh a project that resides within a a coordinating district where they're actually um connected with GWISA services. So, our impact fees are a little bit adjacent. We're not the only part person a part of that discussion. So, I don't know, you know, again, where we're necessarily at with that, but um that's kind of the overall perspective of restrictions andor, you know, considerations of of how we approach this from a dynamic project.

And if you if you want I can add. So for us we because of the funding mechanism we have the the state records a land use restriction that stays on the deed for 55 years. And so the what we applied to the state with the area median income levels will stay the same for that 55 year period. Okay. Any questions for anyone? Do we need to know anything about the grading agreement

other than other than I think yes what a great concept. I think right now as phase one and I can pop this over to Johanna. We we're all very probably likely familiar with the location of this project. It sits on what if we're all familiar with the definition of an aoyo is. Um so the original proposal for this project uh prior to cooperatives uh coming on board was essentially to look at this project as a single plane which it is not uh which created a lot of complexities from a grading utilities phasing perspective all those elements as well as the fact that that aoyo continues down to the north going downhill into another project and they're having to grapple with those things. So the the re the pivot with cooperative to this design layout that we're seeing is actually to align with the natural grading as best they can. Hence the landscaping exception that we work through was them trying to position their buildings where we we're kind of running out of developable room so to speak on that bench. Um so this is something where phase two and three will certainly have to continue the discussion on how that development builds out. But what we're seeing is actually phase one still is more or less teeing up phase two and three or what we'll probably call project two and three because they are not phases. They are separate but that that drainage system is going to lend itself. They're not going to have to go back and reinvent the wheel there. So it's actually a great and forwardthinking way to approach the overall site of the campus. So we're we're hoping this goes through and we're right back in here talking about project two and three soon. Um but yeah, Jake, anything else? Or Johanna, anything else?

Yeah, we're we have the same hope that we will be hopefully do a good enough job that the land partners will want to partner with us again on on project two and three. Um as we kind of I think ultimately it's proving out that there's a continued need uh above and beyond this project. But but this project all the grading we did initial studies for all the grading of the whole site to kind of work within the site and the aoyo and basically we have kind of a small dam at the bottom now that will be graded in um and also ties into what the neighbors building right next door. So it'll be really clean but the calculations were done as though we did all three projects. So the the water can be handled through the through pretty close to the existing the existing grade. So that's the hope is it kind of feels more natural. I think it also make the project more interesting because we'll have similar buildings but on on different levels and it it adds some dynamicness to to the project. So we're excited about it in that way. But it's kind yeah like Corey said, it's kind of queued up for the second and third project are kind of ready to go. um hopefully here shortly.

Now, I noticed that looking at sort of for lack of a better description, this heat mapping of the of the site plan on the elevation um terrain if the buildings line up with what the natural terrain is, which is you don't see that very often. So, and I think honestly I like I know this is definitely a hassle for for y'all as the the applicants trying to make this work, but I think you're spot on with visually and just um character-wise. I think it'll end up being a much more appealing project because there is that diversity of grade um with the buildings and it's not just, you know, little boxes in a row all the same height.

Yeah. So, we appreciate that. So, I'm commend you for making that work. We appreciate that. And I was going to say as far as the easement goes, the land owner continues to be a partner in this project one. So, we'll they're happy to sign the the grading easement that would kind of be the temporary grading needed to build phase to build project one while project two is kind of waiting in the wings. Cool. My next questioning the agreement.

All right. Any other questions for either city staff or applicants discussion? Caroline, anything from your end in your car? Dang it. You can tell I'm in the car. I can. It looks very It looks very nice. It's blurred. Nothing wrong with a Zoom call in the car. It gets blurred. We've all been there. We've all been there. Carol, I'm just glad I'm not the only one. And I apologize if you hear my my son's whistle in the background at his football game, but I love it with it. I'll be there. I'll be there. We're whatever works.

No, I was going to ask a similar question about the nature of the grading easement agreement because I don't think I've um seen that one before or remember if we've talked about it recently. So yeah, thanks for that question and no other questions from me. Right. Straightforward. Yeah, very straightforward. Love more housing. Love the sort of character of the project that you have seem to have planned. Excited to see that come online. Especially this spot is such a prominent location where you can

see it from a lot of places nearby. Um so we can all enjoy that different grade while we get our plants at the nursery next door. Yeah, I was just thinking that uh that said, we can entertain a motion um if someone would like to make it. And there is actually a recommended motion. Like I'm not I'm not I'll make a motion. It's in there. Shay, you redeem yourself.

I I'll make a motion. Um I move that the city of Moab Planning Commission conditionally approve planning resolution number 2025-14. Uh planning resolution conditionally approving the level two site plan for the cooperative 1581 on property located at 1581 Mil Creek Drive, Moab, Utah, 84532 with the following conditions. Then my screen died. Uh boundary adjustment has been finalized and grading easement agreement has been recorded after the boundary adjustment. All right, we have a motion on the table from Miles. Is there a second? I'll go ahead and second that. All right, a second from Jill. Any further discussion?

I think it's a great project. I like that they're working with our landscape a little bit and trying to make something that is appealing as well as functional as low-inccome housing. So, yep. Agree. I know a lot of people that were upset about it at first, but as they've looked at the project, they've become more and more happy. Like, especially the neighboring houses, they're not mad anymore, which is great. Yeah. That's huge. Yeah, it's huge. Frankly, yeah. I really applaud like the work you've done with the houses around it. Yep. Yep. Yeah. Certainly. Thank you. Thank you. Especially

Yeah. I think it's also wonderful to see the inclusion of those additional amenities, the playground and the the pickle ball court and the efforts that you made to be creative with the landscaping um exception. So, like you said, you know, a lot of people do the bare minimum needed for affordable housing development and it's great to see you all going above and beyond to have a really wonderful um bring some really wonderful units on board for our community. Thank you. All right. Uh, that said, we have a motion on the table and a second. Um, all in favor of the motion, please say I. I. I. I.
