It is hoped zoning changes may spur commercial activity

PLEASANT VIEW -- The city is encouraging new commercial development with recent zoning changes.

Two public hearings were held in a Pleasant View Council meeting regarding zoning changes in the area. The properties between 2550 North and 2700 North along 1000 West were changed from a commercial and agricultural zone to a commercial zone.

Zoning was also changed from commercial to manufacturing and commercial mixed zoning for properties between 2955 North and 3155 North along U.S. Highway 89. This means that light industry is allowed in this area, according to Bruce Talbot, community developer for Pleasant View. Unanimous approval was given by the city council for the zoning changes with no comments or questions from the public.

Talbot said, "It is a pleasure to see some development come forward on a larger scale that looks at the big picture."

Talbot also said the biggest change in this zoning move is the change of the zoning in the area that had been agricultural and would now be zoned for commercial use.

Some of the development going into the area is still conceptual, but Pleasant View is eager for positive commercial growth, according to Talbot.

Wasatch Custom Cabinets in Pleasant View plans to erect a new building in the area in addition to their already existing building. There is also an Assisted Living development in the works that will be a two-level building with a basement in the rear part of the center of the building.

Councilman Kevin Bailey asked what would happen to the city-owned property at 1000 West.

Talbot explained, "There are three ways to handle this. The city vacates it, turning it back to the property owners adjacent to it, or declare it as surplus property and put it on the market and sell, or you can also trade land with the developer for some other property."

Councilman Doug Clifford expressed concern about the need for a signal light at the potentially dangerous intersection of 2550 North and Highway 89 and asked, "Has UDOT approved a signal?"

Talbot answered, "They have agreed that a signal could be placed there."

Talbot also said he was pleased about the approval for the zoning changes and the new growth in commercial areas in the city.
