Board renews conditional use permit for LMP Towing at 99 Reliance Road with conditions
Summary
Sweetwater County commissioners renewed a conditional use permit allowing LMP Towing and Recovery to operate an impound, towing and salvage yard at 99 Reliance Road, approving indefinite permit duration subject to staff conditions including screening and vehicle stack-height limits.
The Sweetwater County Board of County Commissioners on July 15 approved a renewal of the conditional use permit for LMP Towing and Recovery to operate an impound, towing and salvage yard on roughly 7.16 acres at 99 Reliance Road. The board approved resolution 25-07-Z-001 following a staff recommendation and a 5-0 Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation.
County Planner Cassidy Brown told the board the parcel is zoned heavy industrial and is surrounded by industrial uses. Staff noted the site is compliant with county screening requirements and the applicant holds a Wyoming vehicle storage or disposal facility license. Agency comments from Lumen and the county senior mining engineer raised no conflicts or AML (abandoned mine lands) concerns.
The Planning & Zoning Commission had recommended that permanent 100% screening along the southeast and west property boundaries be maintained and that vehicles not be stacked higher than 6 feet. The county presented measurements showing the nearest residences are well outside the 600-foot residential buffer; staff said the closest residential zoning tip is about 340 feet away but that actual residences are farther (approximately 860 feet from the subject parcel).
On the record: The motion to approve resolution 25-07-Z-001 was made by Commissioner Slaughter and seconded by Commissioner Tillman; the board approved the permit with staff conditions, including continuation of the screening and adherence to the stack-height limit.
Questions raised: A commissioner asked whether electric vehicles require special treatment because of hazardous materials concerns; staff said it would investigate whether additional stipulations are needed.
Ending: The permit is personal to LMP Towing and Recovery and remains in effect indefinitely so long as the business remains in compliance with county and state regulations and maintains the required license and screening.
