The commission also approved minutes from the April 22, 2025 meeting.

Commissioners moved quickly through the items after staff presentations; planners recommended approval in each case based on findings of fact, conclusions of law and the conditions of approval in each staff report. Laura Kermeier, planning staff, told the commission that for multiple items “staff is recommending approval, based on the findings of fact, conclusions of law, and conditions of approval.”

Glenwild Phase 2 (ratification)
The commission ratified and clarified a motion confirming its April recommendation for approval of the Glenwild Phase 2 amended subdivision plat (adjustment of the common-area Parcel H boundary). The staff report dated April 22, 2025 provided the findings and conditions. The commission’s ratification was made to ensure the public record explicitly states the recommendation for approval.

Accessory dwelling unit — Altitude Loft Condominiums, Unit 5, 4123 North Forestdale Drive
The commission approved a conditional-use permit for an accessory dwelling unit within Unit 5 of the Altitude Loft Condominiums. Staff described the building as an earlier-approved “shell” where the third level’s footprint exceeded the 1,000-square-foot ADU size limit; the applicant proposed to wall off an inaccessible portion of the third level so that the ADU portion meets the 1,000-square-foot limit. Architect Justin Wallace confirmed the upper and lower floors will have separate HVAC systems. The commission approved the CUP subject to the findings, conclusions and conditions of the staff report.

Major accessory building (with ADU) — 7596 Wylaway Road West
The commission approved a conditional-use permit for a major accessory building that will include an ADU on a lot with an existing single-family dwelling at 7596 Wylaway Road West (Silver Creek area). Staff clarified that the current approval is for the accessory building (the ADU itself is reviewed administratively during building permit because ADUs are an allowed use in the zone). The applicant’s representative said the accessory structure would include a garage and storage and that the ADU is intended for an elderly family member. The commission approved the requested CUP under the recommended findings and conditions.

Brewery / taproom and light manufacturing — 4175 North Forest Hill Drive, Suite 105
The commission approved a conditional-use permit for light manufacturing and a bar/brewery/taproom use within an existing shell suite at 4175 North Forest Hill Drive, Suite 105. Staff explained that the proposed uses are not specifically listed in code and are being reviewed as the closest matching uses (bar and light manufacturing). Owner/operator Connor (first name only on the record) said his existing operation has a small footprint and that weekday daytime traffic is light, with most patron activity occurring after typical business hours. Property owner Rob Nielsen described 27 on-site spaces and said daytime parking demand is modest; commissioners and staff discussed shared parking and hours of operation (tasting-room hours were listed in the application). The commission approved the CUP with the staff-recommended conditions.

Administrative items
The commission approved the minutes of April 22, 2025.

Why it matters
These approvals allow multiple proposals that incrementally change how properties in the Snyderville Basin are used — e.g., converting portions of previously permitted commercial shells into limited residential uses (ADUs), and adding a brewery/tasting-room use in a mixed-use park. Staff emphasized that the approvals were recommended because the projects meet current code standards and the conditions in each staff report.

What the commission decided to do next
Commissioners asked staff to continue monitoring trends involving ADUs and accessory buildings; later in the meeting staff said it will return with possible code amendments and a work session to discuss cumulative impacts and clarifications.

- Major accessory building (7596 Wylaway Road West): motion to approve the major accessory building per staff findings of fact, conclusions of law and conditions of approval. Motion: made; seconded; outcome: approved (motion carried).
- Brewery/taproom (4175 North Forest Hill Drive, Suite 105): motion to approve the conditional-use permit per the findings of fact, conclusions of law and conditions of approval. Motion: made; seconded; outcome: approved (motion carried).
- Minutes: motion to approve minutes from 04/22/2025. Motion: made; seconded; outcome: approved (motion carried).

Requested documents and next steps
- Staff noted the source staff reports and conditions of approval (for example, the Glenwild item references the April 22, 2025 staff report). Applicants will proceed to building permit review where building-code compliance (separate from land-use approval) will be verified.

The request followed multiple agenda items that involved ADUs or accessory buildings — including an ADU in an existing shell building on North Forestdale Drive, and a major accessory building with an ADU proposed on Wylaway Road West. Commissioners and staff discussed how county land-use limits (for example, a 1,000-square-foot cap on ADUs and a 2,000-square-foot threshold for “major accessory buildings”) interact with building-code requirements (accessibility, egress and fair-housing considerations) that are enforced at permit review and by the state construction code.

Planning staff described the problem as one of cumulative impacts and intersecting regulatory regimes. Staff explained that building-code accessibility requirements can be triggered when a structure contains multiple residential units (staff cited that reaching four residential units in a single structure triggers additional accessibility requirements), which can make some ADU configurations infeasible without elevators or other costly modifications. Staff told commissioners they will return with an analysis of issues that have arisen since the ADU-related code changes were adopted, and with possible language amendments.

Commissioners asked staff to bring background materials and legal context to a work session. The chair and staff suggested inviting legal counsel and senior planners to present the history and rationale of the existing ADU provisions, related building-code constraints, and options for changes. Commissioner Heather Peteroy and others asked for practical examples, documented limits (for example, on number and size of accessory buildings per lot) and how short-term-rental rules and accessibility law intersect with local code.

What staff said and what will happen next
Planning staff acknowledged the county will prepare a summary of the code history and documented issues and said it will return with a proposed work session (staff indicated that a work session could be scheduled in the coming weeks). Staff also said changes to state or federal law (for example, accessibility standards) can limit what the county can permit, and that the department will present both planning- and building-code implications so the commission can consider balanced changes.

Why it matters
Commissioners said they are not attempting to block ADUs but want clarity on whether current rules allow uses that are consistent with the county’s objectives (for example, protecting commercial zones while allowing employee or family housing). The outcome could lead to code amendments clarifying allowed sizes, further restrictions or implementation steps to reduce unintended conversions of commercial shells into de facto second homes.

Requested deliverables
Commissioners asked staff to:
- Prepare a work session explaining the history and intent of the ADU language and the planning decisions that led to the current code.
- Document the building-code interactions (accessibility, egress and fair housing triggers) that are affecting ADU feasibility.
- Provide examples and possible amendment options (e.g., limits on major accessory-building size when an ADU is proposed, minimum-term rental limits, or alternate permitting pathways).
