The Price Planning and Zoning Commission has approved a significant land use agreement with Bear River Storage, paving the way for the development of a new storage facility, caretaker residence, and a future car wash in Price City. This agreement, effective from November 25, 2024, outlines specific terms and conditions aimed at ensuring compliance with local land use regulations and maintaining community standards.

Key aspects of the agreement include strict adherence to site plan approvals, which are designed to prevent misunderstandings during construction and ensure quality development. The agreement mandates that all construction activities must be conducted in accordance with the approved plans and under the supervision of Price City officials. This oversight is intended to mitigate potential issues and enhance the overall quality of the development.

To address community concerns about aesthetics and safety, the agreement requires that all garbage and debris be managed in enclosed dumpsters, with regular service to prevent accumulation. Additionally, the site must feature adequate stormwater management systems to control runoff, ensuring that it does not negatively impact surrounding areas.

Lighting is another critical component of the agreement, with requirements for high-efficiency LED fixtures to illuminate the facility during dark hours, thereby enhancing safety for visitors. The installation of a six-foot obscuring fence around the property is also mandated to minimize conflicts with neighboring residential areas.

The agreement emphasizes the importance of maintaining public infrastructure, with provisions for repairing any damage caused during construction. It also includes stipulations for emergency access and landscaping, promoting a visually appealing environment that aligns with Price City’s general plan.

Other notable points include restrictions on long-term parking and outdoor storage, ensuring that the facility operates within the community's guidelines. The agreement also requires compliance with various local, state, and federal regulations, including obtaining necessary permits and licenses before commencing any commercial activities.

This development is expected to contribute positively to the local economy by providing additional storage options and enhancing the commercial landscape of Price City. As the project progresses, the community will be kept informed of developments and any potential impacts on local residents.
