Staff said the 2.72‑acre parcel is part of an approved mixed‑use commercial development and the submitted site plan shows three buildings intended for a mix of small commercial tenants. The plan allows for potential medical offices and small restaurants; the smaller buildings include space configured for drive‑throughs, and staff confirmed landscaping, lighting and parking requirements were met for the site plan review.

Austin Roy, the applicant, was unable to attend and staff member Adam Orum, of Gould Plus Architects, presented the project and answered commissioner questions. Orum said the developer intends to build shell buildings equipped with stubbed mechanical and plumbing systems; tenants would complete tenant improvements after purchase. The developer will form a homeowner’s association to manage shared elements of the project, Orum said.

Commissioners asked about traffic impacts and whether traffic signals would be required at site entrances. Staff and the applicant said prior approvals for the larger commercial development addressed traffic and that any signalization would be expected on Thrive Drive rather than at individual side access points. Staff noted the larger development’s earlier traffic study addressed vehicular access and queuing.

Commissioner Miles moved to forward a recommendation for approval of the requested site plan “with the findings and conditions in the staff report.” Commissioner Mann seconded the motion. The commission approved the recommendation unanimously and staff will forward the site plan to the City Council for final action on any required permits.

Key details recorded in the staff presentation: parcel size 2.72 acres; three proposed buildings with one and two‑story configurations in the plan set; potential tenant types include medical offices and small restaurants; drive‑through lanes are shown for at least two small units; developer will establish an HOA. No public comments were recorded on this item during the hearing.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning Commission Meeting 08.28.25","oneSentenceSummary","The Saratoga Springs Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval Aug. 28 of a site plan for Spring Cove (Lot 8) at 249 East Thrive Drive, a 2.72-acre parcel planned for three small commercial buildings including potential medical offices and drive‑throughs.","taxTitle","Saratoga Springs, Utah County, Utah","taxId",4713,"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},6480091,"Planning commission recommends school overlay, adds freeway language to gateway parking rules",307,178000,485000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5691913-839b968263708fb9a47f4c93c112804c&start=178&end=485","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5691913-839b968263708fb9a47f4c93c112804c/thumbnail_178000.jpg","/articles/6480091/Saratoga-Springs/Utah-County/Utah/Planning-commission-recommends-school-overlay-adds-freeway-language-to-gateway-parking-rules","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6480091-c4f2a9fb03c889e1ead0297fb693683a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771160950&Signature=eZ2Xewp-MABCHmTBJB1tB~iEMh7w95ZP2nlv847LmOJ-WBFtULs~ejia9RJta6~Dw~linFcLRPHREYaYzGW5f2EF3iMQWSSmQ6K6bXUZEEqSq29DouoFK~2UQWxV~naRJRqxa1DxfqRXvkhoTzGGcMbGc0vPrUHRuSkjeFsnJSgbA51idMiz9h2ECc-rq-jxecA7-cYIdLhhn18WLKXX9l5CAJ2VXSX0JRZr0QEZWttCKkhkFZc~6q007yMb-G2~u3uGcJo~j6IdqOUaRYe~vme1aUhDg0LywsThodrJA1p2F4Wtp-kf9RnaZ9hYr5wH0DOzs7Y0HHRxElAWqQh1og__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Saratoga Springs Planning Commission voted Aug. 28, 2025, to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council for amendments to Title 19.04 that would create a schools overlay and add “freeway” to parking-designation language in the city’s gateway overlay.

City Community Development Director Ken Young presented amendments bundled into a single ordinance that would (1) establish a schools overlay to provide additional, school-specific land‑use direction beyond the existing Institutional Civic (IC) zone and (2) modify gateway overlay parking rules so that future “freeway” designations are treated like arterials and collectors for frontage parking restrictions.

The schools overlay would list permitted uses commonly associated with schools while limiting certain commercial uses to those “associated with a school,” the staff report says. Young noted the change responds in part to questions raised about proposed uses at an existing charter school, which triggered staff to tighten guidance for future school‑related development. The amendment also would require a neighborhood meeting when a school seeks new development or an expansion, according to staff.

On the gateway overlay, staff proposed adding the term “freeway” to sections that now reference arterials and collectors. The change is intended to preserve landscaped frontages along major routes and to consolidate code treatment of roads that are currently arterials but are planned to be upgraded to freeway status, such as portions of Pioneer Crossing, staff said.

No members of the public offered comment during the public hearing. Commissioner Virginia (last name not specified) moved to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council “with the findings and conditions of the staff report.” Commissioner Jack (last name not specified) seconded the motion. The commission approved the recommendation; the meeting record shows the vote was unanimous. The staff report and ordinance will move next to the City Council for final action.

If the council adopts the overlay, staff said they will return with a proposal to map school overlays to current school properties within the city. Young emphasized that public and charter schools retain authorities granted by state code, and the overlay is intended to provide additional local guidance rather than supersede state provisions.

Key details: the proposal is a city‑initiated, citywide amendment to Title 19.04; neighborhood meetings are required for new school development or expansions; staff cited a recent proposal at Lakeview Charter School as a catalyst for tightening permitted-use language.

The commission did not take public testimony on this item beyond the formal hearing and directed staff to forward the ordinance package to the City Council for consideration.","The Saratoga Springs Planning Commission voted Aug. 28 to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council for citywide amendments to Title 19.04 that would create a schools overlay and add a “freeway” designation to parking restrictions in the gateway overlay.","actionData","errors"]
