DAI proposes modern farmhouse design for new self-storage facility in South Jordan

In a recent Riverton Planning Commission meeting, developers presented plans for a new self-storage facility that aims to blend seamlessly into the local neighborhood. The proposed design features a modern farmhouse aesthetic, which developers believe will enhance the area rather than stand out in an unappealing way.

The facility will include two main buildings, one reaching a height of 41 feet and the other 36 feet, both of which are within the zoning regulations. The developers emphasized that these structures will be complemented by thoughtful design elements, such as natural wood beams and grid-patterned windows, to ensure they fit well within the community's character.

A significant point of discussion was the landscape buffer between the new facility and neighboring properties. The developers proposed a reduced landscape buffer, citing an existing 8-foot concrete wall that already provides adequate separation. They received support from nearby residents, who expressed satisfaction with the proposed plans and agreed that an additional buffer would not be necessary.

The meeting also addressed signage for the facility. Developers plan to install more subtle signs that align with the community's vision of reducing commercial and industrial visual clutter. This approach was well-received by city staff, who viewed it as a positive compromise.

Overall, the Planning Commission meeting highlighted a collaborative effort between developers and residents to create a facility that meets community standards while addressing practical needs. The next steps will involve finalizing the design and ensuring that all regulatory requirements are met before construction begins.
