Summary
Council granted administrative site-plan and architectural approval for an 8,500-square-foot veterinary clinic on County Road (Wild Rose PD), subject to final UDOT approval, a hydrant, fence and minor engineering corrections; council noted property owners to the south expressed support.
Highland — The City Council administratively approved site-plan and architectural details for a proposed veterinary clinic on County Road within the Wild Rose Planned Development at its Aug. 5 meeting, subject to a short list of technical stipulations.
Rob Patterson (staff) presented the application, saying the proposed building is roughly 8,500 square feet and that the owner will finish the northern half of the shell building first and finish the remainder later. The site plan includes 44 parking stalls, far in excess of the immediate code requirement for the clinic use, and a landscaped detention area with a small pavilion to meet the PD’s recreational-area obligation.
Staff recommended approval with stipulations: final written UDOT approval for the right-of-way adjustments the applicant has made; installation of a fire hydrant and building sprinklers; retention and extension of screening fencing along residential edges; minor engineering and sewer corrections; and either a sump or revised detention design to meet city engineering review. Patterson said fire reviewed a hammerhead fire-turnaround and approved it for the site’s configuration.
Councilmembers questioned the spacing and layout of ADA stalls, trash enclosures and whether the detention-area slopes would impede use of the recreational pavilion. The applicant’s representative said the detention basin will be shallow at the edges with a deeper center to accommodate stormwater per design and that the pavilion/trail connection to city property would be removed at the city’s request.
Patterson asked council to approve the administrative site-plan decision; council moved and approved the staff recommendation. The vote was 4–0 with Councilmember Kim Radella absent or intermittently connected.
