Staff explained the amendment would add new definitions to Chapter 19.02, update the permitted-use table in Chapter 19.04 to allow these uses in regional commercial, heavy commercial, office-warehouse, light industrial and business park zones, and add an off-street parking standard in Chapter 19.09. The proposed parking rate is approximately 2.5 stalls per 1,000 square feet; staff said that figure reflects review of a comparable prior application (Sky Zone) and an effort to set a parking requirement that would also allow flexibility for future changes of use.

Commissioners asked whether similar indoor-playground uses previously permitted in the city (for example, the indoor playground near Walmart, referenced as VASA/indoor playground) were treated the same way; staff said that earlier indoor-playground/fitness uses had been parked similar to fitness centers and that past approvals could remain nonconforming. Staff noted the city sometimes applies higher parking rates to allow flexibility if a space later changes use.

Commissioner Wheldon moved to forward a recommendation for approval of amendments to chapters 19.02, 19.04 and 19.09 with the findings and conditions in the staff report; Commissioner Kern seconded. The motion carried.

The amendments create a clear regulatory pathway for emerging indoor-recreation businesses and set a new parking metric for review of future proposals.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning Commission Meeting 3.13.25","oneSentenceSummary","Saratoga Springs planners recommended amendments to Title 19 to add definitions, designate allowed commercial zones and set parking requirements for trampoline parks, trampoline courts and bounce houses; proposed parking is roughly 2.5 stalls per 1,000 sq ft.","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},6636076,"Commission recommends removing temporary-permit requirement for food trucks to align with state law",1343,983000,2326000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2615999-60030d15adcd59db1470a81270663931&start=983&end=2326","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2615999-60030d15adcd59db1470a81270663931/thumbnail_983000.jpg","/articles/6636076/Saratoga-Springs/Utah-County/Utah/Commission-recommends-removing-temporary-permit-requirement-for-food-trucks-to-align-with-state-law","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6636076-a80a217f1dbe05ac35206558fece2f55/orig.mp4?Expires=1771186475&Signature=hLGoswclHB9sNGwc~EOBXByCD8kEX8WcaneYaSI-WxaOI9IOdMLdCPI7mY6wmdCassw-8I0Qipk71eLGW5EYTiLqRsqrZ4904e1tSJ9QouBgPsSNHFkHQtUfiZb6v8qj~AnIcvGgVLlKBQKwQv5BrfenRTdi1OoBp2SPXUtNYF3-pdJCPp-MPahuGd2VZbmeJfRrhUDSPOJmiOSZXFca3-Iz00QRxQ7FUL~ZfBCh33Fp8USwMgjK3xL6AYka9hsNm3vssL02ox4M-aNesQ19TGgdD~Q3VwZNwof0cwl80ou9Xolz1hScYyjaqrN3Au-2hnBQLnacMRzWEF4Bq0ZWtQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Saratoga Springs Planning Commission on March 13 voted unanimously to forward a recommendation to amend Title 19 of the city’s Land Development Code to bring the city’s food truck rules into compliance with recent state law changes.

City senior planner Joanne presented two options: (1) move food trucks out of the temporary use permit section so the city would not require an application permit for most food-truck operations and instead enforce state-compliant standards through code enforcement; or (2) retain food trucks in the temporary use permit process but not collect application fees, with an additional requirement that a site plan be provided for any food truck that operates more than 10 hours per week in a single location.

Staff said recent state law eliminates the ability of cities to collect application fees associated with mobile food vendors and that the proposed language would replicate state definitions and enforcement approaches. Staff noted that pending applications have been processed to comply with state law and that the city had rarely processed temporary use permits for food trucks (a handful per year).

Commission discussion weighed administrative simplicity for vendors against staff workload and enforcement. Commissioners asked about typical review timelines (staff said about two weeks for a complete temporary-use application) and enforcement frequency (staff said the city typically enforces 2–3 times per year for noncompliant vendors). Commissioners also discussed how rules would interact with special events and downtown festival planning; staff noted that special-event permits would still be required for organized events on city property.

After discussion, Commissioner Hill moved to forward a recommendation for approval of the proposed code amendments (chapters 19.02 and 19.05) adopting option 1 (remove temporary use permit requirement and adopt state-compliant standards); Commissioner Mangum seconded. The motion passed unanimously. The planning staff asked to be notified if there is an uptick in noncompliance so the commission can revisit the approach if needed.","Saratoga Springs planners recommended adopting a code amendment to move food trucks out of the temporary use permit section (no application fee) and to add state-compliant standards; commissioners chose the option to remove a permit requirement while retaining enforcement authority for noncompliance.",{"_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},6636081,"Planning Commission backs Lakeview Academy site plan amendment after parking, traffic review",797,123000,920000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2615999-60030d15adcd59db1470a81270663931&start=123&end=920","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2615999-60030d15adcd59db1470a81270663931/thumbnail_123000.jpg","/articles/6636081/Saratoga-Springs/Utah-County/Utah/Planning-Commission-backs-Lakeview-Academy-site-plan-amendment-after-parking-traffic-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6636081-857ce440e2680a560c9c0acdf3e2fd85/orig.mp4?Expires=1771186475&Signature=XBZlF09sbXVtjFir0dcY7fo-AhtqgXjIPtNtWl5MeQlgIH~guTarBl2XVmb-zQgAx4e8XBmls-sGerPP0y9SjVzG2xyyC9x5L586OowMatDGLRpuZbSnNvoJFaAW3bM6zKmqOeXds~QdyoXYn9WhsLgCzBkn-NgYi7l3OC4q272WP4I99VN9OImFlB1kdhPJ97vW8iheI9uAYypGFrstWZj9LwRN0YHngtnuG3J~7JnCLAcMYhspvMBcy1egyfG~RT87ipsoURyaTQS6MKuD3Nb5h4l-CrOPlhoN9MKdLdfmKwG-rdzejuW2f~ROz1XceAD3cQUi4A0NM06H2o78pA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Saratoga Springs Planning Commission on March 13 voted to forward a recommendation for approval of a major site plan amendment for Lakeview Academy, a charter school proposed at 527 West 400 North.

City planning staff said the amendment is largely compliant with zoning and noted several “shall comply” conditions related to utilities and storm drainage that are recorded in the staff and engineering reports. Staff told commissioners the city and applicant worked through required corrections and outstanding items.

The commission focused its discussion on off-street parking and traffic impacts. City-commissioned parking and traffic studies estimated a future on-site parking need of about 180 stalls; the applicant is providing 187 permanent parking stalls and an additional 60 event parking stalls on the property. Commissioners asked for details about how the 60 event stalls would be used; staff and the applicant said some of that capacity would come from temporarily opening gated areas and from portions of the site used for drop-off and pick-up during events.

Commissioners also raised intersections in the vicinity, including Mountain View Corridor and Redwood Road, where a traffic study forecasted a degraded level of service (LOS E) under projected conditions. Staff said those off-site intersections are known bottlenecks outside the scope of the site plan and indicated the city is budgeting improvements for the Mountain View Corridor/800 West/400 North intersection as part of future projects. Staff and commissioners discussed the school’s expected phased enrollment growth and that widening or signal projects could coincide with future development.

Mike Glosser attended as the applicant’s representative and Rick Vesey identified himself as principal of Lakeview Academy. An applicant representative (recorded as Mike Vowser) confirmed the applicant will comply with the city’s required utility, grading and drainage conditions.

Commissioner Hill moved that the commission forward a recommendation for approval of the Lakeview Academy major site plan amendment with the findings and conditions in the staff report; Commissioner Mangum seconded the motion. The commission voted in favor and forwarded the recommendation for approval.

The commission did not alter building height or materials requirements in its action; staff noted state law limits local regulation of exterior colors and materials. The item will proceed to the Council review process per the city’s land development procedures.","The Saratoga Springs Planning Commission voted to forward a recommendation to approve a major site plan amendment for Lakeview Academy at 527 West 400 North after staff and the applicant addressed utility, drainage and parking questions; the commission flagged nearby intersection congestion for future city improvements.","actionData","errors"]
