A controversial 11,000 square foot home proposed to sit above Treasure Hill must return to the Park City Planning Commission for review, a quasi-judicial panel decided Tuesday night.

The property belongs to billionaire Matthew Prince, the founder and CEO of cybersecurity company Cloudflare.

In a split vote, the Park City Planning Commission approved Prince’s home plans in February. Neighbors Eric Hermann and Susan Fredston-Hermann appealed the decision, triggering a review by the city’s three-member appeal panel. Eight other Park City area residents also signed on to the appeal.

The appeal panel consists of former planning commissioner and lawyer Adam Strachan, real estate agent Esteban Nunez, and Matthew Day, who works in private equity.

After hearing arguments from the appellants and Prince’s lawyers, the panel rendered a decision shortly after 11 p.m. Tuesday.
