Staff said the amendment consists of three courses of concrete masonry unit (CMU) block, an EIFS (stucco-like) top band to match existing building finish, and a single-slope metal roof over the new service area. The addition will enclose a previously open service alcove and contain the new walk-in unit; the cooler entrance will be from inside the enclosure.

Tim explained the proposed materials and colors will match the existing building and that the construction will be built to standard site and asphalt specifications. He also noted that the current rear dumpster area has existing posts and gate hardware and that the commission could require the enclosure be completed to match the code’s screening standard.

Eva Stefanzanakis, acting manager for the family-owned restaurant, told commissioners the team planned to place the walk-in cooler in the existing enclosure and place the roof over it. “We are just … build it a little bit bigger. And we're lucky to have that enclosure that's there currently,” she said.

Commissioners discussed the current open appearance of the dumpster area, gate reuse and gate types that withstand truck operations. Several commissioners urged that the enclosure be enclosed with gates or block and that any gates selected be durable (for example a sliding/roller gate to avoid repeated impact by collection vehicles).

Commissioner Matheson moved to approve PLC 25-8013 with conditions 1 and 2 and the added requirement that the dumpster screening be brought into compliance; a second followed and the motion passed unanimously. Staff will finalize the site-plan approval with the listed conditions.

The commission noted the restaurant is a long-standing downtown tenant and recommended the applicant coordinate final material selection with staff so the enclosure blends with the building.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Riverton - Planning Commission","oneSentenceSummary","The planning commission approved a commercial site-plan amendment for Jim’s Family Restaurant at 7028 Park Avenue to add a walk-in cooler and enclose a service area; commissioners also directed the applicant to bring the dumpster enclosure into compliance with recently amended screening standards.","taxTitle","Riverton , Salt Lake County, Utah","taxId",7396,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6504576,"Planning commission recommends code change to clarify commercial dumpster enclosures",565,2946000,3511000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5587849-6b3cd40de2ad220fc887339f053cb4a8&start=2946&end=3511","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5587849-6b3cd40de2ad220fc887339f053cb4a8/thumbnail_2946000.jpg","/articles/6504576/Riverton/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Planning-commission-recommends-code-change-to-clarify-commercial-dumpster-enclosures","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6504576-15ff405ec3418adf69c00d4e1ba0237c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138446&Signature=lmR5~Ej31iz8YiXUi37~ym2~ZKHxZz1l0gZP-5tvIVw60Q5OLknVNbVPPGoAujT4TACp2j5xwVx47bWFS0xJ1fDGjTOHkY6IXVNWg2WwD4z3v1Qvw2q0TPBrxpc-MXC1a1tGtHmSsc6aI3iZqzp5isoJg5cSXQUdkyaCZ3jMHdltBLdV42tneM2tIcvNPdKox40g7cKQz6HZS3nb3~0dVRpzMbi~xrsmF7janilpjqZAQaJgFpi1rYOnOTa6VOmSt5lg9PkOUhLU5okG~SiFXAt3E9tIQqbEPsiB76H~~2SdEwyMQX6YnnFQkVp5GPwCQpK70q5bbat9LiGbTPFfGg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Riverton City Planning Commission members voted Aug. 14 to recommend amendments to the city’s land-use code clarifying standards for commercial dumpster enclosures and service-area screening.

Staff told the commission a section on dumpster enclosures had been unintentionally omitted during a recent rewrite of commercial standards. The proposed amendment restores and refines the code language to answer common design questions: minimum enclosure height relative to bin height, masonry requirements for large commercial dumpsters and flexible screening options for smaller sites that use regular trash cans.

Planner Tim said designers frequently ask whether the city wants a fixed minimum wall height or a relative standard. He said the draft text sets an enclosure height of 12 inches above typical receptacle heights and offers an alternative for smaller businesses to use a vinyl or wood fence that matches site design when dumpsters are not used.

“Most of the time these things are not an expensive part of the site,” Tim said during the hearing. He said masonry enclosures are still required for large roll-off dumpsters because truck maneuvers can damage lightweight screening.

Commissioners asked about consolidation of trash areas, consistency with master-site planning and a wording typo that staff corrected. No public comments were offered. Commissioner Matheson moved to recommend approval of the Title 18 amendments; Commissioner Clough seconded. The recommendation passed unanimously.

The amendment will be forwarded to City Council for final adoption. Staff said the correction and clarification will help designers and enforcement staff apply consistent standards across commercial and small professional sites.","Riverton planners voted unanimously to recommend amendments to Title 18 clarifying standards for commercial dumpster enclosures, including height guidance and options for small commercial sites, returning the code section to the city’s commercial standards.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6504581,"Commission approves private lane to create five lots at Dansy Cove",772,2158000,2930000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5587849-6b3cd40de2ad220fc887339f053cb4a8&start=2158&end=2930","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5587849-6b3cd40de2ad220fc887339f053cb4a8/thumbnail_2158000.jpg","/articles/6504581/Riverton/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Commission-approves-private-lane-to-create-five-lots-at-Dansy-Cove","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6504581-3c8ad54ee9b082c6159b63de9289819a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138446&Signature=OFMyfL8EfF~Y~orpXEBfVeZxIfn5bJbUlaty05EYGEFAoEO9JK2ZL408whqX0N5EUMyrPAzyaV63tSg01nIzoXTox51uHw2gxRcfilFD1bnm1p12KFvkDUTJfNOMYyLTxZzpxMjS10zAk7cLKtATjscOiAAGcoFVpnpnAdERFdk1OF3~Q8A5y3hWkvUhUhP8pwvjafdYGu7J~sDnW1emIbJqFbKjJXEixkgVX2s8r15fqkXwzZ45SBl9lEgfOFGVFzOt1p~6VzZtZnpMbeBJPByhhXF04G2~qOG39uCzKlzq0fKTiTM9NK9LREW6HFr58TbXcsmRG8pFAscHlVYnWQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Riverton City Planning Commission on Aug. 14 approved a conditional use permit for a private lane, PLC 20-5234, to serve five residential lots on the Dansy property near 3112 West 134 South.

Staff explained the property had recently been rezoned to R-3 by City Council under Ordinance No. 2520 and that a private lane was the feasible way to subdivide the parcel into five lots while preserving the existing house and barn. The lane design shown to commissioners is 26 feet wide, allowing parking on one side and complying with fire and city code turnarounds for five lots.

Applicant Alan Pierce described similar prior developments he built and said the proposed lane will be constructed to public standards for road base and asphalt. Pierce said the lane is slightly curved near a power pole and street light to preserve utilities and improve aesthetics; staff said that serpentine alignment can be incorporated into the final plan.

Staff indicated no public comments were received during notification. The commission’s approval includes standard conditions on pavement width, no-parking signage on one side, and that the proposal will return as a final plat and subdivision application where neighbors will have another opportunity to comment.

Commissioner Clough moved to approve PLZ 25-2034 (Dansy Cove Private Lane) with conditions 1 through 10; Commissioner Matheson seconded. The motion passed by unanimous vote.

The approval authorizes the private lane design and directs the applicant to proceed to final subdivision and plat review consistent with the approved conditions.","Riverton planning commissioners approved a conditional use permit for a 26-foot private lane to serve five lots at the Dansy farm site, following the city council’s recent R-3 rezoning (Ordinance No. 2520).

Staff reported the house is in Butler Meadows, zoned R-2, and that the lot is about 0.45 acres. The proposal includes a fenced backyard for play, off-street parking designed to stagger drop-off and pickup times, and operating hours Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The applicant provided a letter from the property owner confirming permission to run the daycare from the rental property.

Lisa, planning staff, said the state license appropriate for up to 12 children was identified as the \"Lisonbee family childcare\" license in her remarks, and that the most the planning commission may allow for a home daycare in the code is 12 children and up to 24 vehicle trips per day. She said no public comments were received during the notification period.

Applicant Kylie Kennedy told commissioners she currently has five children expected to attend at opening — one of whom is her own — and that families plan to use the driveway for drop-offs so vehicles will not stop on 3600 West. “We kind of have an advantage where ours is one of the first houses on the street. So they will pull directly into our driveway, and they won't have to pass any of the neighbor's houses,” Kennedy said.

Commissioner Clough moved to approve PLC 25-2035 with conditions 1 through 9; Commissioner Beck seconded. Commissioner Cannon abstained. The clerk recorded five affirmative votes and one abstention; the motion passed.

Staff noted that a previous conditional use permit for a daycare at a nearby house had lapsed when that property’s resident owner moved and therefore did not block the new application.

The approval allows Kennedy to operate under the stated conditions; any change in tenancy or ownership would require a separate permit or reapplication.","The commission approved a conditional use permit allowing Kylie Kennedy to operate a licensed in-home daycare for up to 12 children at 3568 West New Private Drive, with operating hours and vehicle-trip limits specified; vote 5–0 with one abstention.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6504590,"Planning commission approves home-office permit for footing-and-foundation business with two work trucks",813,364000,1177000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5587849-6b3cd40de2ad220fc887339f053cb4a8&start=364&end=1177","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5587849-6b3cd40de2ad220fc887339f053cb4a8/thumbnail_364000.jpg","/articles/6504590/Riverton/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Planning-commission-approves-home-office-permit-for-footing-and-foundation-business-with-two-work-trucks","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6504590-aed123f393cc2f68a5229e9786f1286d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138446&Signature=BfEe-P22K450Ob-2cJSPZHNsPZPZS8u4l6ZV0pmOvC3r82nValeMnnKv8fmrB5pKGHYv3FdNjB8WuaWv048druoBgKYDjGjAfaRiann6t8-n5CmMn1t7Yaoxr1VNYoTjA-zHW6-tRYkqyOdtnvnx5P2htHhsKs4WFAt4VwfZkr4tBlgAwqHo1VNQMpthB2pywLjvK~WiXtJK~aSlrRsTyOBKYbmLDmA0Lz3ljNuVDGyGFaVB0ZbGRnAPSBRcg1vBmim5PKA6TnnTpw2VTHzzj4-e2Nqfr71BiCqGADYEVQiHEiNafniDEpARuvEh-XxV1OGKOBqjxqVvkqYCcUDyig__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Riverton City Planning Commission members approved a conditional use permit on Aug. 14 for Strong Wall LLC to operate a home office at 2659 West 11780 South and to keep two business vehicles behind a fenced side gate.

The permit, PLC 20-5233, allows owner Jeff Austin to use part of his home for business activities related to footings and foundations, with no customers, deliveries or outside employees visiting the residence, and with two work trucks stored behind an existing screened gate. The commission approved the permit with conditions 1 through 6.

Staff planner Lisa told the commission the property is zoned R-4 like surrounding lots and that the home office portion is under 25% of the main floor. She said Mr. Austin keeps larger equipment and storage at a commercial yard in West Jordan and that the vehicles slated for storage at the home are regularly screened by the property’s fence and gate.

“I just do bidding and billing and stuff out of my house,” owner Jeff Austin said at the hearing. “There’ll be no employees there except for my boys that live with me. … I don't want the employees even know where I live, so they won't be there.”

Commissioners asked about fairness and code application when residents who are employees park company vehicles at home. Lisa explained the city triggers a conditional use permit when business vehicles are stored at a residence and called the vehicle-storage standard one way the city manages potential escalation from a small home occupation into a more intensive use.

No public commenters spoke for or against the permit at the meeting. Commissioner Matheson moved to approve PLC 20-5233 and Commissioner Clough seconded; the motion passed by voice vote.

The permit is subject to the stated conditions that the planning staff recorded at the hearing. The city’s code requires off-street parking and screening for business vehicles; the commission and staff said the approval will let the applicant renew a business license in the future without being flagged for vehicle-storage noncompliance.

The commission’s action applies to this applicant at this address; if ownership or tenancy changes, a new conditional use permit would be required.","The Riverton City Planning Commission granted a conditional use permit allowing Strong Wall LLC owner Jeff Austin to operate a home office at 2659 West 11780 South and to store two work trucks behind a screened side-gate, subject to six conditions.","actionData","errors"]
