Planning staff presented background on the Grove Business Park overlay, which is applied in select Grove Zone locations (including the doTERRA campus, areas behind Tesla and parcels near State Street/CC Bank) and is intended to permit research, office, retail, warehousing and limited light manufacturing in a park‑like, pedestrian‑oriented setting. Jacob Hawkins and another planning staff member identified a list of proposed uses submitted by the applicant and recommended approving most of them as “light manufacturing” or office/indoor storage, but recommended against U‑6411 in its current broad form because it covers a wide range of automotive repair activities that could be inconsistent with the overlay’s purpose.

Staff noted that U‑6418 (auto‑glass installation) is limited and can be conducted entirely indoors with minimal exterior storage, and recommended its approval; however, staff said U‑6411 (automotive services including body shops and transmission repair) could permit activities that generate noise, smells, vehicle storage and outdoor clutter that would undermine the Grove Zone’s high‑quality design standards. Staff proposed that permitted manufacturing uses be conditioned to be associated with retail where applicable and that certain utility company offices remain office‑only without exterior storage.

Representatives for St. John's Properties said their flex‑space product mixes front‑office retail with a smaller indoor warehousing/assembly area and that many potential tenants require the proposed uses. The applicant proposed several restrictions for any allowed automotive‑related use—examples included limiting outdoor parking of vehicles being serviced, prohibiting partially disassembled vehicle storage outdoors, requiring all servicing to occur indoors and preventing outdoor parking in front of buildings. The applicant said it is not seeking typical heavy‑industrial auto shops (oil changes, painting, large outdoor yards) but rather indoor customization, wraps and light customization services.

Commissioners expressed concern that the U‑6411 classification is too broad and could be applied elsewhere in the overlay where property managers or owners may not exercise the same controls as St. John's Properties. One commissioner said that if extensive, use‑specific conditions are required to make U‑6411 acceptable, that is an indication the use may not belong in the Grove overlay. Staff explained that because this is a code‑text amendment the change would apply citywide wherever the overlay applies, not only to the applicant’s parcels; site‑specific solutions would require a development agreement or a different application type.

After discussion, Commissioner Shirley moved to continue the proposed code amendment to Sept. 25 so staff and the applicant can develop clearer language or a narrower use classification (for example, a new U‑6411a) or otherwise refine conditions for automotive activities. Commissioner Trickler seconded and the commission voted to continue the item. Staff said the remainder of the proposed uses are largely acceptable in the Grove overlay but recommended additional work on U‑6411 before final action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Pleasant Grove City Planning Commission 9/11/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Pleasant Grove Planning Commission continued a proposed code text amendment from St. John's Properties that would add multiple permitted uses in the Grove Business Park overlay, asking staff and the applicant for clearer, narrower language for automotive repair and customization uses before the next hearing.","taxTitle","Pleasant Grove, Utah County, Utah","taxId",4710,"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},6506336,"Commission approves one‑lot preliminary subdivision plat splitting 35‑acre parcel near 3195 N. 1240 W.",404,780000,1184000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5780237-d7f95294beb2bc7249bd61dfc5b55ef6&start=780&end=1184","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5780237-d7f95294beb2bc7249bd61dfc5b55ef6/thumbnail_780000.jpg","/articles/6506336/Pleasant-Grove/Utah-County/Utah/Commission-approves-onelot-preliminary-subdivision-plat-splitting-35acre-parcel-near-3195-N-1240-W","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6506336-631264e6936c05c6cd09ed8d3a90fa11/orig.mp4?Expires=1773620583&Signature=SHYyseDE67O6XH762Z79Xa0uCHM4wUrHlekYTx69jg7yaduwpIj9S2vXzV~CkApFmeyipr0QtZPTWBsbFwPAXc1alWBFsJgQCI8ANqgMOxEBMMlT~7P1Bqll6OL2vxz-0PdZrDY~EOnKgkODXipCLEL~tNw86fnqw0oOHWksI69jqN6E55TzQyOlb5-DWKfMIO9SjCbTjNB-ALmTwYwK4f57xKluA2uE3LqY4oNjLCmu3XOQjuR~Z8XRF8h4KhcqokHgbhBIRAECkBzjRgXXv3IiqB9zPGBqLkVmYcvjCBF5uis9JG~l3zI8KJBg5V-c4KZTQ1mu9vInENA44pmyDQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pleasant Grove Planning Commission on Sept. 11 approved a preliminary one‑lot subdivision plat called Smart 1 Lot Plat A to separate a single residential lot from a roughly 35.05‑acre parental parcel at approximately 3195 North 1240 West in the rural residential zone.

Planning staff explained the proposal and showed the plat, noting an existing house in the northeastern corner and agricultural uses across the remainder of the parcel. Jacob Hawkins said Lot 1 will have access from 1240 West, meets rural‑residential lot requirements and will connect via sidewalk to the city's pedestrian system. Parcel A will remain in agricultural use; required improvements and utility extensions within Parcel A will be constructed only when that parcel is later subdivided.

Commissioners confirmed Lot 1 will have separate water rights and that Lot 1 slightly exceeds the rural‑residential minimum lot size (staff noted rural residential requires one‑half acre and Lot 1 is approximately 0.56 acres). No public comment was offered and the applicant did not appear. A motion to approve the plat and adopt staff exhibits, conditions and findings with no additional conditions was made, seconded and carried.

The approval allows the applicant to finalize the preliminary plat, with typical subsequent steps for final plat and infrastructure coordination required before building permits for new development on Lot 1.","Pleasant Grove Planning Commission approved a preliminary one‑lot subdivision plat (Smart 1 Lot Plat A) to split Lot 1 from a 35.05‑acre parental parcel, leaving Parcel A in agricultural use for future subdivision; Lot 1 will have separate water rights and connect to existing sidewalk.",{"_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},6506340,"Planning commission approves conditional-use permit for Little Blossom Montessori to expand preschool to 12 children",697,131000,828000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5780237-d7f95294beb2bc7249bd61dfc5b55ef6&start=131&end=828","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5780237-d7f95294beb2bc7249bd61dfc5b55ef6/thumbnail_131000.jpg","/articles/6506340/Pleasant-Grove/Utah-County/Utah/Planning-commission-approves-conditional-use-permit-for-Little-Blossom-Montessori-to-expand-preschool-to-12-children","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6506340-8e62c68c99c3e57b48b78648ec2b6e37/orig.mp4?Expires=1773620583&Signature=ZICY2P3MreVrk70AfvJRUAZ3u-HJd6w6CzC7TsZLKqiYTY6C1gmXq7BrK-tnbzmqkTL2rk~oRf9KQWy3NRXaq~A-GDYyNIAVd7rnnTxDlLP2su58IsbYjGAKfehdYAMP2eELOCTfXPFnanZy8OtVa7fN~y4e0z1ZEaRmPMRpF5ABCvHsInE5-Yi240WelQyOIoF6J9Xd9fdWfKekZVkHxktKqlIMBqt0wfCGI~pSMbsAqBb-ftfKb3su20ul8qSh9aUbFY5C3LP1W87UmlHGxSbaZDMKlfUjGS4yC5l312xXIu46kx6h8CknxYbvHoknWkMztYrGp23H3K4o~OLD3g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pleasant Grove Planning Commission on Sept. 11 approved a conditional-use permit for Little Blossom Montessori Academy to expand a preschool/daycare at 985 North 100 East in an R‑1‑8 single‑family residential zone.

Staff planner Jacob Hawkins summarized the request as \"a request for a conditional use permit to allow preschool at 985 North 100 East,\" and said the applicant, Janessa Rogers, already holds a business license for six or fewer children and seeks to expand to up to 12 children, ages 3–6. The proposed schedule is a morning class from 9 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. and an afternoon class from 12:15 p.m. to 3 p.m. Activities would use the family room and basement bathroom, and brief supervised outdoor play in a fenced backyard.

Staff told the commission that daycares are permitted as a major home occupation for six or fewer children and that a conditional‑use permit is required when more than six children attend (citing local code chapter 10‑15‑27). Hawkins said staff finds the proposal complies with minimum code requirements and recommended approval with conditions including that no on‑street parking is permitted, required state and local licenses be obtained and maintained, that activities held in the rear yard be fenced, and that one nonresident employee is permitted under the home‑occupation rules when applicable. Hawkins also noted the applicant paved an off‑street area south of the house to accommodate drop‑off and pick‑up and reduce curbside parking on 100 East, which the staff presentation said is a high‑traffic collector-style street.

Commissioners discussed safety and traffic timing for the afternoon session, which roughly overlaps nearby junior high dismissal. One commissioner asked whether a condition could prohibit left turns when leaving the property in the afternoon; staff replied such a condition could be added but enforcement would be challenging and, if breached, could provide grounds to revoke the business license. Commissioners emphasized that enforcement would fall to staff and code enforcement if conditions were violated.

Commissioner Butler moved to approve Janessa Rogers' conditional‑use permit request adopting the staff exhibits, conditions and findings as modified to prohibit on‑street parking, require all licenses and home‑occupation conditions be met subject to sections 10‑21‑4 and 10‑15‑27, allow rear‑yard activities only within a fenced area, permit one nonresident employee when required, and require final planning, engineering and fire department approvals. Commissioner Martineau seconded. The motion carried.

The approval allows the provider to proceed with the expansion under the stated conditions; the applicant was not present at the hearing. The commission closed public comment on the item before deliberations.","Pleasant Grove Planning Commission approved a conditional-use permit allowing Little Blossom Montessori Academy to operate a preschool for up to 12 children at 985 North 100 East with conditions including no on-street parking and fenced rear-yard activities.","actionData","errors"]
