Applicant Adam Nash (Land Development LLC) asked to change the property’s future land use from residential office to residential medium density and to rezone the site from R1‑8 (single‑family) to R2‑8 (two‑family/twin homes).

Staff told commissioners the parcel is just under one acre. Residential medium density envisions roughly six to ten units per acre; on this site staff said a three‑lot subdivision could yield up to six dwelling units (two units per lot under R2‑8). Development standards such as minimum lot size (8,000 square feet) and a 35‑foot maximum building height would remain comparable between R1‑8 and R2‑8, and staff concluded that the proposed designations are compatible with the general plan and are not materially more intensive than existing designations in the corridor.

Applicant Adam Nash said the project would likely be developed with rear‑loaded townhomes or sold to a builder; he cited traffic estimates and a professional report saying the subdivision would add about 5.44 average daily trips to Fort Union. Nash and staff said the parcel already has a final subdivision plat awaiting recordation and some completed public improvements (curb, gutter, sidewalk) from earlier approvals; the applicant previously submitted similar requests in 2022 that received a positive staff and Planning Commission recommendation but were denied by the City Council at that time.

Several neighbors urged the commission to preserve single‑family character. Speakers from the Apple Valley neighborhood said they had earlier petitioned and met with the City Council in 2022, and they asked the commission to respect the council’s prior denial and the neighborhood expectation of three single‑family homes. Neighbors also asked about parking and driveway impacts on Fort Union. Staff and commissioners discussed that accessory dwelling units (ADUs) are permitted under current R1‑8 zoning and could result in the same theoretical maximum number of households on three lots; staff noted ADUs are owner‑occupied and subject to separate rules.

After deliberation, the commission made two separate motions — one to recommend the land‑use map amendment and one to recommend the zone map amendment — forwarding both items to the City Council. The motions passed with recorded “yes” votes from Commissioners Simon, Mills, Paulson, Smith, Barnes, Shelton and Anderson for the land‑use motion and similar recorded affirmative votes for the zoning motion. The commission’s action is advisory; the City Council retains final legislative authority.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025 05 07 PC Business Meeting (Audio Recording)","oneSentenceSummary","The Cottonwood Heights Planning Commission on May 7 voted to recommend approval to the City Council of a land‑use map amendment and zone map amendment for 3526 East Fort Union Blvd., forwarding the proposals for final action.","taxTitle","Cottonwood Heights Planning and Building, Cottonwood Heights, Salt Lake County, Utah","taxId",21242,"location","Utah","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6563223,"Planning commission delays UDV church conditional‑use permit over parking analysis and neighborhood concerns",1558,208000,1766000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3232095-9e2fc6f8d60f10b774b141753bcef369&start=208&end=1766","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3232095-9e2fc6f8d60f10b774b141753bcef369/thumbnail_208000.jpg","/articles/6563223/Utah/Planning-commission-delays-UDV-church-conditionaluse-permit-over-parking-analysis-and-neighborhood-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6563223-42b25ee2f28cc0596f6deacf4ba56285/orig.mp4?Expires=1771155259&Signature=bLK8B6Z~-Jde2MM0UontXpke0Zo4QaDJaK1VD84krOg6m2b1vDbLjHMsGuhlrn7c3oHkx~UxtEH5EXmy69cp9UKFFd5yTVHlvDvibDqO~KuW2FLlsqpJd40CQAt8CcsJwx5HqyvV2iJrUli-ZwBg-gFGUSnuoba6hwNJTOsaHtrqg8x1EcjzOQdQCAQWSUKeGfThgpvgwFvaNGYCSpkQsAILG62hgydSxOECsPWsVxZXbZ6XC9qh6prkR0RGjTiLTHzkHrWUZOtWmKIUXOEHPUeSQydDT9bgF8xYA84l2e14VJ3c3CDI8bMIgTFaztTgMc26gL7Tm~ecRNAc4g8Oog__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cottonwood Heights City Planning Commission on May 7 continued consideration of a conditional‑use permit (CUP 250004) requested by Bento Viana on behalf of Uneo de Vegetal (UDV) to operate a church at the former Wells Fargo branch, 3425 East Bengal Boulevard.

Staff told the commission the proposal would not alter major site elements of the existing approximately 2,300‑square‑foot building. The applicant proposes gatherings on the first and third Saturdays most months from about 8 p.m. to shortly after midnight, with additional weekday evenings or midday Sunday meetings at leadership discretion. The applicant’s narrative lists a congregation of 47 members and estimates 40–45 attendees at a typical gathering.

Staff identified two primary potential impacts: noise during late‑night hours and the site’s ability to accommodate peak‑period parking demand. The site currently has 15 dedicated stalls; the applicant submitted a late revised plan converting the former drive‑through canopy to four stalls and showing potential on‑street spaces along Bengal Boulevard, which city code does not allow staff to count toward minimum required parking. Staff recommended continuation to allow time for a focused parking analysis and for the applicant to pursue formal agreements with adjacent property owners for overflow parking if needed. Staff also noted that any tenant improvements would trigger building‑permit and fire‑department review.

Several residents spoke during the public hearing. Some raised safety and public‑health concerns tied to the religious practice — specifically references to ayahuasca and hallucinogenic tea — and said they did not want the church operating in their neighborhood. Representatives and members of the congregation, including Gabriel Weinam (identified in the hearing as a local UDV representative), said the group studies Christian teaching, discourages illegal drug use, and described their meetings as quiet and lawful. An applicant representative, who said he is a licensed Utah architect and a neighborhood resident, said the congregation’s growth has been slow and that he planned to seek permission from neighboring property owners for parking agreements.

After deliberation, Commissioner Shelton moved to continue CUP 250004 to the June 4, 2025 Planning Commission meeting for additional parking analysis; Commissioner Steinman seconded. Roll call votes recorded in the hearing transcript show unanimous support for the continuation (Commissioners Shelton, Barnes, Smith, Polson, Mills, Simon and Anderson recorded “yes”).","The Cottonwood Heights City Planning Commission on May 7 continued consideration of a conditional‑use permit (CUP 250004) requested by Bento Viana on behalf of Uneo de Vegetal (UDV) to operate a church at the former Wells Fargo branch, 3425 East Bengal Boulevard.","actionData","errors"]
