The applicant, Ben Myler, requested several modest changes that staff and the building official reviewed and brought together for the commission’s consideration.

Staff explained the package included five changes: (1) security gates at the vehicular entrances that will swing inward and cannot block the public right of way and will require Unified Fire Authority review; (2) a small accessory storage shed to house grounds equipment that meets accessory‑structure standards for size and setbacks; (3) relocation of mechanical heat pumps to a screened corner area with vinyl fencing; (4) minor expansions (pop‑outs) on upper classrooms and small storage rooms on the sports court elevation to gain roughly five feet of interior space for classrooms/storage; and (5) a façade change from white brick to a red brick with a whitewash finish.

Staff said each item complies with applicable code standards or can be conditioned to comply; the gates and any emergency‑access features must be coordinated with the Unified Fire Authority, and the accessory shed must meet building‑official requirements for foundations and inspections. The applicant confirmed the classroom pop‑outs do not require structural changes to the main building and that foundation work for the small storage rooms will follow standard inspection procedures.

Commissioners asked about details of the cantilevered upper‑floor pop‑outs and were satisfied by the applicant’s confirmation and the building official’s review plan. Commissioner Mathison moved to approve the amended site plan with the conditions recommended by staff; Commissioner Clough seconded. The motion passed unanimously.

The changes are administrative or minor design adjustments to an existing school project and do not alter the school’s land‑use classification. The commission’s approval included the staff conditions that the gates not obstruct public rights of way, that Unified Fire Authority review any egress/lock features, and that accessory structures meet code and inspection requirements.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Riverton - Planning Commission - Apr 24, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Commission approved several administrative and minor design changes to the Utah Collective private school site at 2700 W. and 11800 S., including locked entry gates, a small storage building, relocated heat pumps with screening, modest classroom expansions and a change from white to red‑washed brick.","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},6575213,"Planning commission approves Western Springs commercial master plan and Phase 1 Starbucks pad",1984,5642000,7626000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3127102-b85a8ff3664923e7576339d592547c14&start=5642&end=7626","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3127102-b85a8ff3664923e7576339d592547c14/thumbnail_5642000.jpg","/articles/6575213/Riverton/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Planning-commission-approves-Western-Springs-commercial-master-plan-and-Phase-1-Starbucks-pad","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6575213-694f18bc9f16e3b54e051dcbbc028992/orig.mp4?Expires=1771145009&Signature=ft0YdSui-BQ2wb1iP9a5zqrVgxMO6m7dvoM7YM9vIjlr-IHZYm5hX9vAdke~k42b04w6PamejeTPN-ZmNrad1VJ9siXPJxkudw-NJB1VQsxOGwV1CGIjMBDNi4tmdg86lddfGVYGcc~fNvD6xLX4zPnJJMLc2v5BPfPNoef1fEs0Hv5krsSdxIhvLAj~4HHL41tUBHAZPZ~fKZA6VBTASieuGXKpGrYmDkaQ~~SJlQbNRyu34Lf~LUvvJyFLsGZTM9K-~mGN7OLqtOars~L4QGmkMOEORtC0uKsk9Ur3iFuvOqmaOimJEKcQWJRo6j6Mx~HZ7nqJXhwPagPsgZeS0g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Riverton City Planning Commission approved the Western Springs commercial master site plan (PLZ‑24‑8021) and a related final site plan for Phase 1 (PLZ‑25‑58007) on April 24, 2025. The developments are located at 4623 West 12600 South along the city’s western boundary near Mountain View Corridor.

Staff described the master plan as the final commercial portion of the Western Springs development. The master plan lays out four retail pads along 12600 South, each with a drive‑through configuration that requires conditional use approval for drive‑through stacking. Staff reported the application met stacking and buffering requirements and that Phase 1 includes the backbone infrastructure that will be shared among the pads.

Applicant Jake Finlinson (Perry Construction / Perry Homes) told the commission the team intends to install shared access, landscaping and utilities up front to make the pads ready for tenants. He said one Phase‑1 pad has a prospective tenant (Starbucks) that would anchor interest in the remaining pads. Commissioners were told the proposed drive‑thrus include double‑stacking lanes where appropriate, and that the plan restricts certain access movements along 12600 South to right‑in/right‑out via an island.

Key details for Phase 1 included construction of the shared access road, a landscaped park strip along 12600 South, and monument signage on individual pads instead of a pole sign. Staff noted the proposed building design and materials met current and forthcoming architectural standards and that rooftop mechanicals would be screened. Staff also noted that the park strips adjacent to 12600 South and 4570 West are to be maintained by adjacent property owners and that the developer will install the island and other shared features as part of Phase 1.

The commission held a public hearing on the master plan and received no substantive public opposition at the meeting. Commissioners asked about notice procedures (staff confirmed mailed notices and an additional public notice were posted consistent with city code) and about pedestrian/bicycle connections as the city updates its active‑transportation plan.

Commissioner Clough moved to approve the Western Springs master site plan with conditions; Commissioner Peck seconded the motion. The commission voted unanimously. The same commissioners subsequently approved the final Phase 1 site plan for the Starbucks pad with conditions addressing landscaping, shared access easements, and monument signage.

Approvals require the applicant to submit final site plans for subsequent pads, comply with the shared‑infrastructure conditions, and meet monument‑sign standards at staff level review. Developers said they anticipate that having the backbone infrastructure and an anchor tenant will spur faster build‑out of remaining pads.","Commission approved the Western Springs commercial master site plan (with drive‑thru pads) and the Phase 1 final site plan for a Starbucks pad at 4623 W. 12600 S., including shared infrastructure and conditions for future pads.",{"_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},6575218,"Planning commission recommends approval of DAI Utah storage development agreement after debate on height, buffers and traffic",4560,940000,5500000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3127102-b85a8ff3664923e7576339d592547c14&start=940&end=5500","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3127102-b85a8ff3664923e7576339d592547c14/thumbnail_940000.jpg","/articles/6575218/Riverton/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Planning-commission-recommends-approval-of-DAI-Utah-storage-development-agreement-after-debate-on-height-buffers-and-traffic","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6575218-caccac0afaa8a84bcbc98ad4117f25e7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771145009&Signature=bxolECAUTTiyz2-hGxFHSU1eU39wmblQgvpRlyevxjCB03LanPNjvR8-OAywLunKM6MZhJhim7O~O9-CtQLRmjyS9gln~pkB6jwTW8XYzOz9gYb7lWHg~Bn1nKivnOIBbbiKjL5gYePYtXVhcKwH1pCZxM7AnPoN4~2OxvfObyhLutUaI8q0OzovnIAq6arRtqDqe65k9X1e-nv6~IFwfqOY9pSQpOVr~0jb1~UO~4xycRQMwFf276jvNJdr6xIhEK5DdcEnrb8O2HOFtV7lPskOyfMCGV6qI9AnajnXg8Y10LWaRBbxs~6LQmavQ6ZV9OH-12rTz7O7qTOX4HPW8Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Riverton City Planning Commission on April 24 recommended approval of a development agreement that would rezone about 5.63 acres at 12270 South 4000 West from R‑3 residential to commercial‑regional (CR) with use limited to self‑storage and outdoor vehicle storage. The commission’s recommendation will go to the Riverton City Council for final action on May 6.

Staff described the proposal as a development agreement that functions like a tailored rezone: the applicant, identified in the packet as DAI Utah, proposed storage units, limited building heights (applicant materials showed two taller buildings), and site‑specific exceptions to the standard commercial buffering and signage rules. Staff told the commission the developer had offered to limit most storage building heights to two stories and to use split‑face and smooth masonary with aluminum trim to give the site a residential‑style façade facing 4000 West.

DAI’s presenter, who identified himself as Joe with DAI, said the company planned a neighborhood‑oriented, higher‑quality storage facility with 66 RV/boat stalls, a mix of drive‑up and climate‑controlled units and a staffed on‑site residence. Joe said the project represents more than $14 million of investment and cited two market studies (Bear River Storage Consulting and Self Storage 101) and an Extra Space internal analysis in support of the project’s feasibility. He said the developer would install an eight‑foot precast masonry wall along the residential property lines and asked the commission to remove or reduce several landscape buffer requirements and allow signage on building faces as an alternative to a pole sign.

Staff also told commissioners that an amended traffic study reviewed by the city engineer showed the storage project would generate fewer vehicle trips in its initial phase than the single‑family subdivision previously contemplated for the site, and staff summarized other site elements including phase sequencing, perimeter fencing, and proposed setbacks.

Public comment focused heavily on traffic, access and safety. Multiple residents from nearby subdivisions — including Matt Yore and Bob Coomer — described heavy local traffic, peak‑hour backups on 4000 West and adjacent neighborhood cut‑throughs. Commenters expressed particular concern about large RV and boat turning movements into the proposed outdoor vehicle storage, the condition of nearby local streets, and the potential for future higher‑intensity development across the street. Staff acknowledged current construction on nearby roads (100th/118th South and other projects) is increasing short‑term traffic and noted regional traffic forecasts anticipate significant growth; staff said UDOT and regional agencies are tracking long‑term changes and that the city is updating its transportation master plan.

Commissioners pressed the applicant and staff on several technical issues. Commissioner Rushton and others sought clarity on building heights and setbacks; staff pointed out an inconsistency between the draft development agreement (which included a 32‑foot limit in one clause) and the elevations shown in exhibits (applicant documents and renderings discussed maximum peak heights of about 36 and 41 feet for two building faces). The applicant told the commission phase 1 would be single‑story storage buildings and said that future two‑story construction would require further approvals and neighborhood discussion; he also said the project team had an agreement with one adjacent neighbor that they would not build two‑story structures without that neighbor’s consent.

After discussion, Commissioner Cannon moved to recommend approval of the development agreement (PLZ‑25‑4001) as presented. Commissioner Rushton proposed a friendly amendment to clarify and reconcile height language in Section 5.9 of the draft agreement; the amendment was accepted by the mover and seconded. The commission voted by roll call and the recommendation passed unanimously.

The commission’s recommendation limits allowed uses to storage and outdoor vehicle storage, staggers development in phases, and includes architectural and screening commitments from the applicant. It also asks staff and the applicant to correct inconsistencies in the written agreement — principally the explicit numerical height limits — prior to the city council’s May 6 hearing.

Because the planning commission acted in an advisory capacity on this legislative‑style development agreement, the next step is a city council public hearing and final decision.","The commission voted to recommend a development agreement to rezone ~5.63 acres at 12270 S. 4000 W from R3 to CR for a storage facility, approving building design and use limits while asking that inconsistent height language in the draft agreement be clarified before city council review.",{"_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},6575221,"Planning commission approves two‑lot Bergstrom Estates subdivision, waives masonry fence requirement",771,165000,936000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3127102-b85a8ff3664923e7576339d592547c14&start=165&end=936","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3127102-b85a8ff3664923e7576339d592547c14/thumbnail_165000.jpg","/articles/6575221/Riverton/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Planning-commission-approves-twolot-Bergstrom-Estates-subdivision-waives-masonry-fence-requirement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6575221-da2f3a8b7c7778756c586fad400d5130/orig.mp4?Expires=1771145009&Signature=JdPWLM1zK6bCttkEziFXcetP3AFGgOhd2SJTyM~m7h5nOIvazhPPHnu3RDPliopzBldah4n3hUxNVM-erk4QLV~6mISe5Ovc3Jatfo8OS6tixxm-FrrvRQrjcSKdEP-bx~9u-iZgrFXCYWdTAFqlzqxiL8-u9L4EABwgZkXEAM6QN-WQ5JBFpvgXe6Is8HtL61qphZ6E6ERfEDPO7Yg1khCDFaG2T5vXWDaAamhh7eZG1wjNTVOzDU5wSO0T9PR~fjlxSyEUbk9kbY8QcmCohZi5zM67GRgjNFxRhOZPYUNoRG2d6G7HOv~~o13YA0aJPzK6FAE-MN9TGCBZMaugGA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Riverton City Planning Commission unanimously approved the Bergstrom Estates Second Amended Subdivision (PLZ-23-1004) on April 24, 2025, allowing a two‑lot split of family-owned property at 1933 West 11800 South (also described in the meeting as 11871 South Bergstrom Lane) and granting an exception to the zoning code’s masonry perimeter fence requirement.

The vote followed a staff presentation and a public applicant presentation describing the proposed subdivision, access, and fencing. Staff told commissioners the site would be divided to leave the existing house with frontage on 100th and 118th South and create a new lot with access by a private lane set back from the public street. The subdivision requires private-lane upgrades to meet fire-code turnaround and access standards.

The commission’s decision centered on a code allowance for the planning commission to exempt developments under two acres from the standard six‑foot masonry fencing requirement where circumstances support it. Staff said the applicant canvassed neighboring property owners within 300 feet and provided signed waivers from directly affected neighbors. Staff recommended permitting the existing perimeter fencing to remain in place rather than requiring new masonry in areas where established vinyl or other fencing already exists.

Applicant Kevin Bergstrom told the commission the parcel is family property and that neighbors, including an elderly adjacent homeowner identified as Becky Barton, opposed disturbance of an existing vinyl fence. Builder Bridger Taylor described approaching neighboring residents on the east side and said most preferred to avoid disruption to mature landscaping and trees.

Commissioner Clough moved to approve PLZ-23-1004 Bergstrom Estates Second Amended Subdivision with staff items 1–13 as presented; Commissioner Kiel seconded the motion. The commission conducted a voice vote; the motion passed unanimously.

The approval preserves the private lane circulation and requires private-lane improvements for fire access. It also records the planning commission’s exception allowing existing perimeter fencing to remain in lieu of installing the masonry fence otherwise required by zoning code.

The commission invited public comment but heard none on the item. The matter will not return to the commission unless the applicant requests additional changes or the city council alters the conditions when it reviews associated plat or recordation details.

The commission’s action: a recommendation/approval by unanimous vote to adopt the two‑lot amended plat with the perimeter-fence exception. The applicant may proceed to final plat recordation and required building‑permit work to construct the new home and private-lane upgrades.","Riverton City Planning Commission approved a two‑lot subdivision of family property at 1933 W. 11800 S. (11871 S. Bergstrom Lane) and exempted the project from a code-required masonry perimeter fence after neighbors signed waivers.","actionData","errors"]
