Packet materials for agenda items will be available on the Town website by 5:00pm on December 6, 2019: http://www.springdaletown.com/AgendaCenter/Town-Council-4 Memorandum To: Town Council From: Thomas Dansie, Director of Community Development Date: December 6, 2019 Re: December 11, 2019 Planning Commission Meeting Preliminary and Final Subdivision Plats: Best Western Property, 668 Zion Park Boulevard Overview The Town of Springdale is requesting approval of a preliminary and final subdivision plat that will split the Best Western property at 668 Zion Park Boulevard into two parcels. One parcel will continue to house the Best Western hotel. The other parcel will house the historic structure. This parcel split is envisioned by and called for in a development agreement between the Town and the Best Western property owners. The subdivision will allow the historic structure parcel to be deeded to the Town of Springdale. As allowed by Town Ordinance for minor subdivisions, both the preliminary and final plats are being presented together for review. As contemplated in the development agreement, the subdivided historic structure parcel is intended to be placed in the Public Use (PU) zone. A zone change to the PU zone for this parcel is on the Council’s current agenda. This report analyzes the historic structure parcel based on the standards in the PU zone. If the historic structure parcel were to remain in the CC zone, then the parcel would fail to meet several land use standards. Thus, should the Council wish to approve the proposed subdivision, such approval must be contingent on subsequent approval of the zone change to the PU zone for the historic structure parcel. The only new infrastructure proposed with this subdivision is a new water connection and a new vehicular access off SR9 to serve the historic structure parcel. All other infrastructure necessary to serve the two proposed lots is already in place. Thus, the main issue for the Council to consider is whether or not the proposed historic structure lot meets all the lot requirements in the PU zone, and the remaining Best Western lot continues to meet all the requirements for the CC zone. Applicable Ordinances Staff recommends the Council review the following ordinances prior to the meeting: 1. Chapter 10-11A: Central Commercial Zone 2. Chapter 10-12: Public Use Zone 3. Chapter 10-14: Subdivisions Staff Analysis Preliminary Plat The purpose of the preliminary plat is to make sure the subdivision meets all required zoning standards and to review the proposed infrastructure improvements. Staff’s analysis of the preliminary plat in relation to these two issues follows. Lot Size The minimum lot size in the CC zone is 0.25 acres. The Best Western parcel in the CC zone will measure 3.77 acres. There is no minimum lot size in the PU zone. The historic structure parcel in the PU zone will measure 0.13 acres. Lot Width Lots in the CC zone must have a minimum width of 50 feet. The Best Western parcel will have a lot width ranging between 76 and 300 feet. The PU zone requires a lot width of 80 feet. The historic structure parcel in the PU zone will have a lot width of 80 feet. Lot Frontage Lots in the CC zone must have at least 50 feet of frontage on a public street, private street, or private lane. The Best Western parcel in the CC zone will have 76 feet of lot frontage on SR9. The PU zone requires 35 feet of lot frontage. The historic structure parcel in the PU zone will have just over 80 feet of frontage on SR9. Setbacks The newly created lot line separating the two parcels will create new setback requirements for the existing development on each lot. However, the development agreement exempts the existing development (the historic structure, as well as the employee housing structure on the Best Western parcel) from the setback requirements from this new lot line. There are no other structures that would be impacted by setbacks from the new lot line. Landscape The CC zone requires at least 40% of the property to remain in natural open space or landscape. The Best Western Parcel in the CC zone will have at least 44% of the property in landscape area. The PU zone requires at least 50% of the property to remain in natural open space or landscape. Currently, the historic structure parcel in the PU zone has approximately 70% of the property in landscape. The Development Agreement allows a reduction in the landscape area requirements on the historic structure parcel, if necessary, to develop a parking area. Compliance with landscape requirements associated with potential future development on the historic structure parcel will be analyzed as part of a future DDR process. Infrastructure With the exception of culinary water to serve the historic structure parcel, all utilities are already connected to both lots. There will need to be a new connection for culinary water on the historic structure parcel. Should the Council wish to approve the subdivision, such approval should include a condition that requires public works department approval of the new culinary water connection.

  • Diagenetic Coloration Facies and Alteration History of the Jurassic Navajo Sandstone, Zion National Park and Vicinity, Southwestern Utah
    DIAGENETIC COLORATION FACIES AND ALTERATION HISTORY OF THE JURASSIC NAVAJO SANDSTONE, ZION NATIONAL PARK AND VICINITY, SOUTHWESTERN UTAH Gregory B. Nielsen, Marjorie A. Chan, and Erich U. Petersen Department of Geology and Geophysics University of Utah 115 S. 1460 E., Rm. 383 FASB Salt Lake City, Utah 84112-0102 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Coloration patterns in the Jurassic Navajo Sandstone of Zion National Park and vicinity are examined using a broad variety of geochemical, geospatial, petrographic, and bedform analysis techniques. Six diagenetic coloration facies (including 12 subfacies) are defined and characterized. Results indicate a prolonged and complex diagenetic history with variations in color resulting largely from changes in the concentration and distri- bution of iron oxides. In the northern Kolob Plateau, the Navajo Sandstone has a uniform red pigmentation (red primary facies) that formed during early diagenesis to produce the “primary” sandstone color. In contrast, Navajo Sandstone of main Zion Canyon displays “secondary” alteration features occurring in three distinct vertical coloration facies: brown (lower), pink (middle), and white (upper). The white and pink facies in Zion Canyon are characterized by a combination of prevalent bleaching, areas of remnant “primary” sandstone, and small concretionary iron-enriched lenses. Bleaching is concentrated in the upper Navajo Sandstone where alteration occurred during middle diagenesis (deep burial). Widespread bleaching and alteration in Zion Canyon terminates abruptly in the central park but narrow, well-defined, white bleached bands locally follow high-permeability beds northward for several kilometers into the red-colored Kolob Plateau (red/white facies). The brown facies is characterized by widespread dark iron oxide cement concentrations precipitated beneath a well-defined subhorizontal boundary.

  • Zion National Park Which Stirs the Imagination with a Singular Power ...’ Clarence E Dutton
    ‘There is an elegance to their forms Zion National Park which stirs the imagination with a singular power ...’ Clarence E Dutton Towers of the Virgin 91 Heaven on earth As we set out from Springdale, dawn was bathing the spires of the West Temple, The Sentinel and the Towers of the Virgin in a golden, glowing light. It augured well for a day when we were going to explore the inner sanctuaries of Zion, the 15-mile-long, half-mile-deep canyon cut into the Kayenta and Navajo sandstones of the Colorado Plateau. Formed over millions of years by the uplift of the surrounding plateau, aided by the tremendous erosive power of the North Fork of the Virgin River, Zion Canyon was named by the first Mormon settler, Isaac Behunin in the mid-19th century. It was the nearest thing to heaven that he had seen, so he named it after the city of his God. The exalted names given to the golden, red and white sandstone walls and bristling peaks reflect the reverential awe in which they were held by those first visitors: East and West Temples, Great White Throne, Altar of Sacrifice, Court of the Patriarchs, Organ, Pulpit and the vertiginous viewpoint of Angel’s Landing. The latter, a 5790-foot-high spur which hangs over the Upper Canyon, was given its celestial name by a Methodist minister, the Rev Frederick Vining Fisher on a day trip in 1916, after one of his companions had commented: ‘only an angel could land on it’. Angel’s Landing on the north western rim of the canyon was our destination, and we set off from the site of Behunin’s log cabin at Zion Lodge along the river to The Grotto, and over the sturdy metal footbridge across the rushing waters of the Virgin River.

  • The Colorado Plateau
    The Colorado Plateau An OUGS Severnside Field Trip 2015 The Colorado Plateau 2015 Introduction This was to be another Severnside trip, but one with a new organiser! Janet Hiscott and Tom Sharpe had devised the idea for this trip when talking about what he would do in his retirement from the Museum of Wales. The large group of 27 members that collected in Denver at the end of September 2015 were the beneficiaries of this chat. We were all eager to explore the Colorado Plateau with Janet and Tom to guide us. The Colorado Plateau is an area between the Rockies and the Basin and Range Province and extends through parts of 4 states, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. (Fig. 1) It contains some of the most famous and most visited National Parks of the USA and we were here for 17 days to be introduced to the geology, paleontology and human interaction with and exploitation of the region. The Rockies have been through several cycles of uplift and erosion since the Precambrian, the most recent period of uplift started 5Ma ago and the area has seen a change in elevation of 5000ft. There was associated volcanic activity, building volcanoes and causing a redistribution of metals by heated fluids. The latter having been exploited by man in the Colorado Mineral Belt. The debris eroded from the Rockies during these successive periods of upift was deposited in the plains surrounding them. These sediments, and marine deposits from a period of inundation by an inland sea, form the level beds that comprise the Colorado plateau.
