ST. GEORGE CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
SPECIAL MEETING
SEPTEMBER 25, 2003, 4:00 P.M.
ADMINISTRATION CONFERENCE ROOM
PRESENT:
Mayor Daniel McArthur
Council Member Suzanne Allen
Council Member Rod Orton
Council Member Bob Whatcott
Council Member Larry Gardner
City Attorney Shawn Guzman
City Recorder Gay Cragun
EXCUSED:
Council Member Sharon Isom
City Manager Gary Esplin
SITE VISIT:
A site visit was taken to the Wailea Falls at Stonebridge project area. Also present were Dave Terry, Reed McArthur, Jerome Jones, and Jeff Norton. The meeting then reconvened at the City Office.
TRAFFIC STUDY:
Discussion concerning traffic study for the Rebel Creek student housing project.
Traffic Engineer Aron Baker distributed a Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by Carter Burgess for the area adjoining the Rebel Creek student housing project, along with a hand-out on future expected trips on Riverside Drive, and reviewed both with the Mayor and Council.
Zane Morris, representing the Rebel Creek student housing project, advised that he met with Ryan of SunTran about a potential bus stop at the project to service both the apartments across the street and the Rebel Creek project. This bus stop would make a significant dent in car trips, especially if the bus came every half hour instead of every hour. He advised that he was willing to coordinate this with the College and SunTran, and would include a bus stop in the project design.
REVOCATION OF PENDING ORDINANCE DOCTRINE:
Consider revocation of pending ordinance doctrine for the area of the east side of Foremaster Ridge from 180 South Maill Drive intersection south of the Virgin River, including land on the south face of Foremaster Drive.
City Attorney Shawn Guzman advised that when the pending ordinance doctrine was invoked, he thought a change of zoning would be readily forthcoming. If he had known a recommendation would not be forthcoming, he would have recommended a temporary zoning regulation instead.
Associate Planner Mark Bradley reviewed the area in question and pointed out areas where the zoning was inconsistent with the master plan.
A site visit will be made on October 9 at 3:30 p.m. A temporary zoning regulation for the expanded area to the west side will be scheduled on the October 2 City Council agenda.
A motion was made by Council Member Allen and seconded by Council Member Gardner to revoke the pending ordinance doctrine for the area on the east side of Foremaster Ridge from 180 South Mall Drive intersection south of the Virgin River, including land on the south face of Foremaster Ridge. Mayor McArthur called for a roll call vote, as follows:
Council Member Allen - aye
Council Member Gardner - aye
Council Member Whatcott - aye
Council Member Orton - aye
