Planning commission recommends approval of industrial design review at 02350 N. New Long
Summary
Weber County planning staff and commissioners recommended approval of a design review for two new light‑manufacturing buildings in the M‑1 zone, conditioned on engineering and landscaping sign‑offs and agency reviews.
The Weber County Planning Commission on a unanimous recommendation approved design review DR‑2025‑12 for two proposed light‑manufacturing buildings on a parcel in the M‑1 manufacturing zone. Planning staff and the applicant told commissioners the proposal meets zone standards and that final written approval will await engineering and district comments and a complete zero‑scape landscaping plan.
Planning staff presented site plans, parking counts and elevations and said the applicant proposes 1–2 small office/warehouse units, landscaping beds and a subsurface stormwater approach using StormTech chambers. Staff said the combined parking on the property (existing plus new) totals about 32 spaces, above the minimum parking calculation staff performed for warehouse uses. Staff recommended written approval only after review‑agency comments from county engineering and the fire district are satisfied.
Applicant comments described the proposal as a multi‑unit office/warehouse project to be offered for lease; the existing building on the parcel is used for manufacturing now and the new buildings would add rental units. Commissioners asked about parking, truck loading, and the surfacing around roll‑up doors. Staff said the site will require hard surface where vehicles are parked and fire access will need to meet fire‑district standards; staff added a condition requiring building permits and hard‑surfacing details be resolved before written approval is issued.
Commissioners moved and seconded a motion to recommend approval conditioned on completion of review‑agency requirements, submission of the landscape plan, and assurance that occupancy cannot occur until required improvements and guarantees are in place. The motion passed unanimously.
Commissioners and staff said they preferred applicants install low‑water landscaping and that the landscaping plan be submitted with the design review package so review conditions can be enforced at the building permit stage. Staff also noted the parcel will be subdivided prior to final approvals and that the proposal uses septic (no sewer currently available) and that the applicant must address stormwater calculations and the heavy‑duty water supply requested by the fire district.
