Planning Commission approves parking reduction for Santaquin Peak Lot 14
Summary
The San Quentin Planning Commission unanimously approved a request to reduce required parking at Lot 14 in the Santaquin Peak industrial park from 25 stalls to 21, citing warehouse use and employee parking behind a fence.
The San Quentin City Planning Commission unanimously approved a parking-reduction request Tuesday for Lot 14 in the Santaquin Peak industrial park, reducing the required number of stalls from 25 to 21.
Ryan, a planning department staff member, told commissioners the site — at the corner of Summit Ridge along the highway — had conditional development approval from the Development Review Committee contingent on either receiving this parking reduction or adding the additional stalls. "They show 21 stalls on their site plan that DRC conditionally approves," Ryan said.
Case Greenhall, the applicant, told the commission the business is an excavation company and that most employee vehicles and large trucks would be parked behind a fence on road base, not in the front stalls. "There won't be a lot of visitors... it's just kind of our office and our shop to work on trucks and stuff," Greenhall said.
Commissioners asked about Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) spaces and use changes. Ryan confirmed ADA spaces count toward the total. The commission also discussed whether a parking reduction should travel with the property; staff said reductions typically remain with the property and a change to a substantially different use would require meeting current parking code.
Commissioner Nixon moved to approve the reduction from 25 to 21 stalls; Commissioner Waite seconded. The motion passed unanimously (5–0). Commissioners Waite, Wood, Nixon, Romero and Mook voted yes.
The reduction was granted for the specific site; staff noted that if the use changes to one that generates greater demand (for example a gym), the property would have to meet the current parking requirements or seek a new reduction.
The commission closed public comment and recorded the formal vote. The conditional development approval previously issued by the DRC will be finalized subject to this parking decision and the site meeting the other DRC conditions.
Looking ahead, staff said any future expansion or a change in use by a future tenant would trigger review of parking and possible requirement to add stalls or submit a new parking-reduction request.
