Planning staff presented a consolidated rewrite that would standardize building-height limits, four‑sided architecture, wall-massing breaks, roof-line variation, limits on materials and colors, prohibited materials, cohesion/consistency requirements within centers, and mechanical-equipment screening. Staff said the changes apply across most commercial zones (except the SLR development agreement area) and would also apply to quasi‑public uses in residential zones.

Commissioners asked pointed questions about several elements: whether glass should be counted as an exterior material for the materials limit, whether a previously used 30‑inch wainscot requirement is still necessary, how to measure and screen rooftop mechanical equipment, and how the code would treat existing or renovations to older buildings. Staff said the drafting provides flexibility for the commission to determine which architectural elements are “major” for cohesion-and-consistency findings and that mechanical screening language offers several measurement options (for example, “as seen six feet high at property lines or as otherwise determined by the city”).

Commissioners asked staff to return with clarifying edits and to consider expanding some material limits (for example, increasing allowed material types from a maximum of four to six). After discussion, Commissioner Clough moved to table the architectural-standards amendments to the next planning-commission meeting; Commissioner Rushton seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

Staff indicated they will revise the draft to address commissioner concerns (glass counting, wainscot language, potential maximum for glass, and procedural clarity about cohesion/consistency), then return the revised ordinance for the commission’s review and a subsequent recommendation to council.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Riverton - Planning Commission - Mar 13, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The planning commission tabled a package of proposed revisions to commercial architectural standards pending staff revisions requested by commissioners.","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},6636122,"Planning commission recommends revisions to Riverton’s table of commercial uses; adds building‑trades language and expands conditional authority",1656,3078000,4734000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2615953-2074c4f38262fc71396933ef7d43191b&start=3078&end=4734","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2615953-2074c4f38262fc71396933ef7d43191b/thumbnail_3078000.jpg","/articles/6636122/Riverton/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Planning-commission-recommends-revisions-to-Rivertons-table-of-commercial-uses-adds-buildingtrades-language-and-expands-conditional-authority","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6636122-a7f55d1ff5bf8f92dd5d8cb8568284be/orig.mp4?Expires=1771143005&Signature=DvUpAhGNcLgbVJk2Y5F6xyW8nD~Vy9IZdX1PccRdaYUC5GM7lMhsRPqBKnP2pFOWZVojxzsj7Zwrt2QUkiK9GcC6eUIyCJiGhDbjCi1p3aCVdb~CrJNUbzF2WbrcGCJh3Z3GydV2~QL5IVZbwYoe1POewEU3tWUHHJi1d6ILQEUWgI8pvmNLKDioKY7-w7bhLIS0s4RdeksTFzDTqAS814yFO5uFEakSA1~wBcgQjm2e01d56ESw2YctGEEx~xLspTFP8rUq6dAdg944ipCHu6HwedMJ1mxqACnl971KAdiSvcDW7ALG8908QIeP-d-N4RHmk7ijJtC6vWH4UkZnyw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Riverton Planning Commission unanimously recommended multiple amendments to the city’s table of commercial uses, including clarifications for assisted-living/residential-care listings, a new building-trades category with broader examples, and revised permissions for landscaping services and passenger-terminal language.

Planning staff presented a package of edits to Chapter 18.9 (the table of commercial uses) intended to correct earlier oversights and clear recurring sources of confusion. Staff said the primary correction is to ensure assisted-living and residential care facilities are properly identified and permitted so existing care centers are conforming rather than nonconforming. Other edits included adding a dedicated “building trades” line to clarify where contractor offices and similar uses belong, adding a “passenger terminal” clarification (that it does not automatically cover simple bus stops), and adding “dance studios” as a distinct use where appropriate.

Commissioners and staff discussed how the building‑trades line should be written to avoid ambiguity about examples such as electricians, plumbers and HVAC contractors; staff recommended adding the parenthetical phrase “including (without limitation)” after the word “including.” Commissioners also debated whether professional-office zones (CPO) should allow building-trades offices if they contain no outdoor storage; the commission directed that building trades be made conditional in the CPO zone. Commissioners further asked that landscaping services be allowed only as conditional uses in downtown (commercial downtown), commercial gateway and CPO zones to address concerns about bulk materials storage.

The motion that passed instructs staff to forward the table-of-uses amendment package to the city council with the commission’s recommended edits: 1) clarify assisted-living/residential-care placement and permit it appropriately; 2) add a building-trades line and insert “including (without limitation)” after “including,” and treat building trades as conditional in the CPO zone; 3) clarify that passenger terminals do not automatically create public bus stops and that bus-stop placement will be coordinated between UTA and the council; and 4) change landscaping services to a conditional use in the commercial downtown, commercial gateway and CPO zones. Commissioner Clough moved the recommendation; Commissioner Knudson seconded and the commission voted unanimously in favor.

Staff told the commission no public comments were received on the noticed amendments. The recommendations will be forwarded to the Riverton City Council for final action.","The planning commission unanimously recommended edits to Riverton’s table of commercial uses to clarify assisted-living/residential-care listings, add a building‑trades category, and change landscaping services to conditional status in several zones.",{"_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},6636127,"Commission recommends amendment to Mountain View Village development agreement to add six units, approves exterior site-plan change for Village Lofts",1460,1635000,3095000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2615953-2074c4f38262fc71396933ef7d43191b&start=1635&end=3095","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2615953-2074c4f38262fc71396933ef7d43191b/thumbnail_1635000.jpg","/articles/6636127/Riverton/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Commission-recommends-amendment-to-Mountain-View-Village-development-agreement-to-add-six-units-approves-exterior-site-plan-change-for-Village-Lofts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6636127-51b88e421104cb3154ebbf89cfb95f2f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771143005&Signature=kUWo29qQwGaEL8tZqQ~exfLB7VJ9AzTKNg-Z0ahp6htQZhxd3wvPmy0JjyXPEIpa2~OFrH8zbnXpg7C6f6Lo2WxygpUQizvpq2raj-3OVLUB-JtY-klneCwdlveeQxJAp35zKuk7tYs7jDJ-hRCx8yxgK3gIf0DqgcQMl0EeDpmA1fgzb5J9eSFJLbkDZBOoXdDctWvEgpUKtAkf4AbCmUfyKUSWOrtKvzFF9YUjfsSdAal5w6PU88kGoCR8XJtZ7g~97sJiJL5bgj2UAxpKz2Zknzg-ubLm75a~28BpPDfEqEsDu2lSNgyNkCKkdSW7QzU7-neYQjncJBeuO~DVHA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Riverton Planning Commission recommended approval of a development-agreement amendment that would increase the total number of residential units allowed in Mountain View Village and approved a related exterior site-plan amendment for the Village Lofts building.

Planning staff said the amendment would add six units to an existing cap that had been previously amended to 282 units; the second amendment would raise the cap to 288. The change stems from a proposal by Salt Development to convert a remaining 10,000-square-foot main-floor retail corner into six residential units, including minor exterior design revisions to tuck the corner back and add landscaping.

“Salt Development thought and the city concurred that this really probably created more impacts than it addressed, and so ... the last remaining commercial space [would] be converted to six residential units,” a planning staff member explained. Salt Development vice president of design Ethan Bedingfield described the project as luxury multifamily with two-story changes at the corner, pool and amenity spaces, and said the footprint reduction changes 5,100 square feet of retail to 5,400 square feet of stacked residential.

“That's the major change on the site,” Bedingfield said, describing updated renderings and the revised corner treatment.

The amendment affects the Mountain View Village development agreement and requires city-council approval after the commission’s recommendation. Commissioner Clough moved to recommend approval of the second amendment to the Mountain View Village development agreement and to approve the site-plan amendment for the Village Lofts exterior architecture; Commissioner Knudson seconded. The commission voted unanimously to recommend approval.

The staff report and applicant materials note CenterCal — the master developer — has consented to the change and will sign the amendment before council consideration. Final approval of the development-agreement amendment and the amended site plan rests with the Riverton City Council.","The planning commission recommended approval of a second amendment to the Mountain View Village development agreement to add six units and approved a site-plan amendment to convert the project’s remaining main-floor commercial corner into residential units for the Village Lofts building.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6636131,"Planning commission approves home-occupation permit for snack delivery business at 2046 West Kimber Lane",576,1082000,1658000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2615953-2074c4f38262fc71396933ef7d43191b&start=1082&end=1658","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2615953-2074c4f38262fc71396933ef7d43191b/thumbnail_1082000.jpg","/articles/6636131/Riverton/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Planning-commission-approves-home-occupation-permit-for-snack-delivery-business-at-2046-West-Kimber-Lane","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6636131-5dba805ae35e3ffd3d8d44e5497e83a7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771143005&Signature=gLBxINEfJFdIOpo8UJ9ND1Mm-SzPtzuRneG-MLzF-N73EujhE4yEZY5GZKCKd9j~PIUvmveVHHIq1-a1pFC68uvWSHGayZ2DVn76KVk5PC3hau2uoljdCJSrbjFxZvnftPJJh8mFXcba9mCCyyAd8l3wWqkHYKgn5oQ1PXaKTuHPSs708iZu~3CWF9fafeWlfM3SRS~1cdRnWbcHjWUMruRZq7OFpg6gYtA-OFcZ1aK3dXkmnP--Yhe7ujz5bOtIxWV6QXGr9Wp3JKH3QY7q4s2dAsHs4wAv99b3H-2c39xu9dOdZXJJhzadfVUPStfJKsbyyd3nprHfF2JRut4USw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Riverton Planning Commission unanimously approved a conditional-use permit for a home-based snack delivery business at 2046 West Kimber Lane.

The permit allows applicant Robin Caviness to use up to 50% of her basement kitchen to prepare snack trays containing fruits, nuts, muffins and prepackaged snacks, then deliver those trays to businesses; Caviness said she does not anticipate customers visiting the home. Planning staff said Caviness will need the required inspections before the city issues a business license.

Staff said the property is a roughly 3,500-square-foot single-family home in the Saddle Brook subdivision, zoned R-8SD. The home-occupation rules permit use of up to half of a basement for the business and require health-department approval for food preparation. The staff report noted the city mailed notices to neighbors within 300 feet and received no comments.

“Miss Caviness will need to contact the Department of Health for an inspection and their approval as well,” a staff member said during the public hearing. Caviness told commissioners the Utah Department of Agriculture sent her a letter saying an inspection was not needed for prepackaged food; she said she had forwarded that letter to city staff.

Commissioner Matheson moved to approve the permit with six standard conditions; Commissioner Beck seconded. The commission voted unanimously to approve the conditional-use permit.

The approval requires Caviness to obtain any required inspections and approvals and comply with the city’s home-occupation code and conditions listed in the staff report. Caviness said she does not expect to employ staff at the home; if the business grows beyond a home operation she said she would relocate and notify the city.

The commission closed the public hearing after no members of the public came forward to comment.","The Riverton Planning Commission unanimously approved a conditional-use permit allowing Robin Caviness to prepare prepackaged snack trays in a basement kitchen and deliver them to businesses from a residence at 2046 West Kimber Lane, subject to standard health inspections and six conditions.",{"_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},6636113,"Commission tables McKenzie development-agreement item to allow re-noticing",90,1014000,1104000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2615953-2074c4f38262fc71396933ef7d43191b&start=1014&end=1104","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2615953-2074c4f38262fc71396933ef7d43191b/thumbnail_1014000.jpg","/articles/6636113/Riverton/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Commission-tables-McKenzie-development-agreement-item-to-allow-re-noticing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6636113-41ba47c4b0ec14f000cd28ca1155061d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771143005&Signature=gvtzx2KToT0ILlbrllMYBNU81r7Rb~YC1jkG31lHFnGvqMnUcxNv4lOYK1tLHeUcmw~J86JrHkYCYP2Sg4zrUbJiXwzyY9095AzwmmO-hBc25TzSxvubQSJ~CjEZciwy3wlCtkcBAn-g~8aCu5MdlSnlZrm4O07O03a36zE5nqpgQapOGQlOB1GNKaoAgB8Qfb3k02FEah25jsrE2ffN~OTrbo~3VM-I38r3gW9w8CPvbqPHCbWXRRWRkX~6cZIy8lE81sXdkLWvcn6dpK6eqa0zwTvVGEjaYp4h8~KU8z3unsUUMUdFXox7TcZfLC2iIfKnhu9qIQDEAtGFEjXfyw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The commission opened its meeting by tabling an agenda item on the McKenzie development agreement after staff reported the applicant needed additional time and that notices had not been circulated to all interested parties.
