The Murray City Planning Commission on Oct. 2, 2025, unanimously approved conditional-use permits to allow auto-sales businesses at 4195 South 500 West, Unit 26, and at 4205 South Commerce Drive, Unit 8, and adopted minutes and findings of fact for recent meetings.

The approvals came at the commission's regularly scheduled meeting after staff presentations and brief applicant remarks. For the item at 4195 South 500 West, planning staff presented that the unit is in the MG (Manufacturing General) zone and that the proposed auto-sales use is permitted there subject to conditions. Staff reported the unit is roughly 850 square feet with three parking stalls (two outside, one inside) and that no public comments had been received. Mustafa Jabber, the applicant and listed owner for MS Auto Sales, confirmed he had reviewed the five conditions and said he could comply. Commissioner Ned Hacker moved to approve the conditional-use permit; Commissioner Katie Rogers seconded. Roll call votes recorded commissioners Hacker, Rogers, Peter Kling, Jake Pearson and Chair Michael Richards as voting yes. The motion passed.

For Greenlight Auto at 4205 South Commerce Drive, planning staff said the property is a 3.36-acre site with a 3,600-square-foot multi-tenant building; the occupied office for the applicant would be roughly 180 square feet (Unit 8). The applicant identified three dedicated display stalls (numbers 6–8) and access to customer parking; staff concluded parking met code and noted a landscaping requirement that must be completed before a business license is issued. Staff said 14 notices were mailed to property owners within 400 feet and no public comments had been received. Applicant Amy Horsley asked for latitude on planting timing and was informed that the permit conditions allow a deferral agreement where appropriate. Commissioner Katie Rogers moved to approve the conditional-use permit subject to six staff conditions; Commissioner Ned Hacker seconded. Roll call votes recorded Hacker, Rogers, Kling, Pearson and Chair Richards as voting yes. The motion passed.

Earlier in the agenda the commission approved minutes from previous meetings and adopted findings of fact and conclusions for three land-use items (Loft On Vine design review; Lofts On Vine condo subdivision; Murray Block 1 subdivision amendment) following motions and unanimous votes.

The approvals are limited to the items and conditions presented to the commission; staff noted compliance with the Murray City Land Use Ordinance and alignment with the Murray City General Plan were factors in the recommendations. The meeting then moved on to an informational discussion of the Fashion Place West station area plan.
