Council broadens Grove Business Park overlay to allow more flexible "flex" uses, with indoor-only limits for auto work
Summary
Pleasant Grove approved Ordinance 2025-024 to add multiple permitted uses to the Grove Business Park (GBP) overlay — including limited manufacturing, refrigerated warehousing, and auto servicing — with restrictions such as indoor-only vehicle servicing and assembly-only manufacturing.
Pleasant Grove City Council on Oct. 7 approved Ordinance 2025-024 to expand the list of permitted principal uses in the Grove Business Park (GBP) overlay, a square-shaped overlay south of doTERRA and behind Tesla on State Street.
Director Daniel Cardenas and applicant representatives from St. John’s Properties described the proposal as an effort to codify a set of uses commonly requested by tenants of the city’s recent flex-space buildings so future tenant requests need not be handled one-by-one. "These are all uses that make sense to be here, so why not just add them so that they're available so we don't have to come in one at a time," an applicant representative said.
The additions include specific manufacturing categories (with assembly-only limits), apparel and leather product manufacturing tied to retail, refrigerated (climate-controlled) warehousing, and a clarified automotive repair use. For automotive services the code language adopted excludes engine and transmission rebuilds and requires all servicing to be conducted entirely indoors; no outdoor storage of vehicles being serviced is permitted.
Council and staff emphasized geographic limits: the revised overlay applies only to the specific GBP area (south of doTERRA, behind Tesla and adjacent to a newly approved hotel along State Street), not to the entire Grove zoning district. The planning commission and staff worked with the applicant to refine language about office/warehousing mixes and the allowed relationship between manufacturing/assembly and retail sales.
Marty, representing St. John’s Properties, said the flex buildings have performed well and the broader allowance will reduce the need for piecemeal code amendments. Council Member Anderson moved approval; Council Member Lamone seconded. The ordinance passed unanimously on roll call.
The planning commission had forwarded the item with recommendations that included clarifying that certain office uses (such as utility offices) should be office-only and that heavier outdoor industrial activities remain disallowed.
