Brandon Cooper, community development staff, summarized the package of proposed text amendments and explained the main changes. The code revisions remove references to a separate “preliminary” site plan so the commission and council review a single site‑plan submission; reduce required paper copies from eight to three plus one digital copy; move initial submission and administrative review to the community development director; and clarify the distinct roles of the planning commission and city council in making recommendations and granting final approval.

Cooper said the draft also preserves a one‑year expiration for a final site plan, retains the planning commission's authority to grant extensions before that expiration, and adds a new provision allowing the commission to reapprove an expired final site plan under limited conditions. Reapproval could be based on the ordinances and standards in effect on the original approval date provided the applicant submits a written explanation and the commission finds that reapproval would not compromise public health and safety or conflict with the general plan. Cooper said the language is intended to give the commission discretion while allowing reasonable continuity when projects are delayed.

Commissioners discussed the change briefly and described the revisions as making the review process clearer and more flexible. No public comments were offered during the public hearing on the item.

Commissioner Anderson, Mister Henstra, Commissioner Knight, Commissioner Paulson and Commissioner Paul Thorpe were recorded as voting in favor when the roll was called. The chair declared the motion to forward a positive recommendation to council carried.

Earlier in the meeting, the commission approved its minutes from the June 10 regular meeting and work session; the motion to approve carried unanimously on voice vote. No amendments to policy or final site‑plan approvals were enacted at the meeting; the code amendments now proceed to the city council for final action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Riverdale City Utah Planning Commission Meeting June 24, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The planning commission unanimously recommended that the city council adopt revisions to Riverdale Municipal Code 10-25-5 to remove a separate preliminary site-plan step, allow one consolidated site‑plan review, clarify council and commission roles, and preserve commission discretion on reapprovals.","taxTitle","Riverdale City Council, Riverdale , Weber County, Utah","taxId",24531,"location","Utah","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6553604,"Resident urges Riverdale to restrict semis after residents report roundabout damage",692,71855,764759,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5066524-579e4dac383b9ea6b4ca812cb679c7f4&start=71&end=764","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5066524-579e4dac383b9ea6b4ca812cb679c7f4/thumbnail_71855.jpg","/articles/6553604/Utah/Resident-urges-Riverdale-to-restrict-semis-after-residents-report-roundabout-damage","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6553604-ec49ed0769e411ca69ad94c46270431a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770942983&Signature=aGnZGl8CFgEOzhxVNGYgfWRs54od18~eVVDjbCb5QKkJ3-8sqkpeum6yfrz~xgD1z2-MxGetdbaKwhWRT1vXiZnfw79sB9pxswH8~H1KxpKGXTXCfNNKstRj1X-RlL8Yhxe4r6nU-f-I4uKnxQP8vNqNnroMPK7aLYVhdF1xcx61FNhfA2ISRaT7ZQoEp6P~6Aoh8DD9SqPjd5zhMN98kbDxoJk8RQcTB6a6omLBIeJsIVSmhqRNtdRYB4kMuEeYpFGK7xQFF8LAyW~m-quNZFeHYOUJLlO7L820gyWLWgiGaMwON2NWfgw~JtGCxbG7L5bjT28j8TnnWlMyexrp3g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jason Francis, a Riverdale resident, told the Riverdale City Planning Commission on June 24 that semitrailers routed through neighborhood streets are damaging roundabouts and creating traffic-safety concerns.

Francis said large trucks using the 700 corridor and the roundabout near 4400 and Parker Drive are “destroying” landscaping and curb elements, and that at least one roundabout manhole appears to have been struck. “If you look at the roundabouts now, you can see all the rocks have been pushed out of it. The manhole's been hit inside the roundabout,” Francis said. He added that drivers he has stopped told him their routing comes from dispatch directions for deliveries to the Walmart area and that trucks sometimes become stuck, blocking local streets for 20–30 minutes.

Francis specified the area as “700 from Riverdale, go north… just right down from Sinclair” and said he routinely observes 2–3 semis or large trucks per day on neighborhood streets.

City staff and commissioners responded that the roundabout geometry includes a mountable curb and an apron intended to be driven over by larger vehicles. Brandon Cooper, community development staff, said public works staff would be brought into a scheduled meeting the next day to assess any landscaping or structural damage and to discuss enforcement and signage. “We have staff meeting tomorrow. Our public works director will be there. We'll bring this up,” Cooper said, adding that staff were likely already aware of some damage and would evaluate enforcement options.

Commissioners and staff discussed enforcement limits for a municipal “no truck route” sign, noting that posting a sign is often only the first step because tickets generally require enforcement presence and notification to drivers. Commissioners also discussed other avenues the city could take, including coordinating with the Utah Department of Transportation and contacting commercial dispatchers or retailers that manage large delivery fleets.

The commission encouraged Francis to send photos of the damage to staff; Cooper and commissioners said images would help staff document the extent of damage before the public works review. No formal action or vote on truck-route signage or restrictions occurred at the meeting.

The discussion occurred during the public-comment portion of the June 24 meeting and was followed later by other agenda items. Staff said they would examine the roundabouts’ condition, review enforcement and signage options, and coordinate with public works and, if appropriate, UDOT or private fleet managers.

Local residents who observe damaged curb, displaced rock, or struck manholes were asked by commissioners to forward photographic evidence to staff for the public-works review.","At the June 24 Riverdale City Planning Commission meeting, resident Jason Francis said semitrailer traffic routed through neighborhood streets is damaging roundabouts and creating safety risks; staff said public works and enforcement options will be reviewed.","actionData","errors"]
