Planning commission grants one-year extension, approves Burger Station subdivision and vacates Burger Place condominium
Summary
The Murray City Planning Commission on March 6 granted a one-year extension and preliminary/final subdivision approval for the Burger Station project, and approved vacating the Burger Place condominium; the applicant awaits final county sign-off to record the plat.
The Murray City Planning Commission on March 6, 2025, voted 5-0 to grant a one-year time extension for the Burger Station subdivision approval and approved vacating the Burger Place condominium to consolidate parcels for a residential and small commercial project in the Murray Central Mixed Use (MCMU) zone.
Zach Smallwood, planning staff, told the commission the subdivision consolidates multiple parcels and creates a secondary access from Commerce Drive. The commission previously approved the project on March 7, 2024; staff said the applicant needs final approval from Salt Lake County before the engineer can sign and the plat can be recorded. Smallwood recommended the one-year extension subject to the original nine conditions in the staff report.
Applicant Jared Shoop told commissioners the plat is with the city engineer and has been forwarded to Salt Lake County for final review. "We're like this close to getting the plat signed," Shoop said. He said the project has been in development since he purchased the old Burger property in fall 2020 and described working through ordinance changes and a moratorium.
Shoop described the project as two phases; he gave inconsistent unit totals during the hearing, at one point saying "both phases are 423," then stating phase one would be 99 units and phase two another 224 units. That inconsistency was not resolved at the meeting and the commission recorded approval of the extension and subdivision subject to the original conditions.
Commissioner Ned Hacker moved to grant the one-year extension, vacate the Burger Place condominium and grant preliminary and final subdivision approval; Commissioner Pete Haristo seconded. Roll-call votes recorded votes of "yes" from Commissioners Hacker, Haristo, Katie Rogers, Peter Kling and Chair Michael Richards. No public comments were recorded.
Staff cited compliance with Utah State Code, the Murray City subdivision ordinance (Title 16) and the MCMU zone regulations in recommending approval. The applicant remains responsible for satisfying the original conditions and for obtaining any county-level sign-offs before final recording.
