Tooele planning commission approves Fire Station Business Park preliminary subdivision plan

The Tooele City Planning Commission on Oct. 26 approved a preliminary subdivision plan for the Fire Station Business Park subdivision, a roughly 10-acre L-shaped parcel near 1000 North and 145 East, by a 7-0 vote.

Staff member Mr. Agard told commissioners the parcel — rezoned recently to light industrial — sits north of 1000 North near about 220 East Street, with Fire Station No. 3 to the west and an existing senior residential living facility in the parcel’s southwest/southeast corner. Mr. Agard said the applicant proposes splitting the parcel into three lots so two lots fronting 1000 North can be developed and a remnant parcel (parcel A) remain undeveloped; a narrow sliver (parcel B) would extend to the north. “It is good to be back,” Mr. Agard said during his presentation.

The applicant plans to dedicate right-of-way on 1000 North to the city and install the road improvements; the city would assume ownership and maintenance after the developer’s warranty period ends. Mr. Agard told the commission that the light industrial zoning has no minimum lot-size requirement but does have minimum lot-width standards and that the proposed lots exceed those width minimums. He also said staff recommended approval subject to the standard housekeeping conditions listed in the staff report dated Oct. 20, 2025. “I have not received any public comment,” Mr. Agard said when asked about outside input.

Commissioner Proctor moved to approve the preliminary subdivision plan request by Wes Graham representing Grove Development (application 2025079), and Commissioner Hamilton seconded. Commissioners Hammer, Proctor, Gossett, Hamilton, Jensen, Anderson and Stallone voted “aye,” and the motion passed 7-0.

The approved preliminary plan splits the parcel into two developable lots with direct access to 1000 North and leaves a third remnant parcel undeveloped; the motion and staff report direct the applicant to complete the listed conditions before final plat approval. The staff report cited by commissioners is dated Oct. 20, 2025.

The commission’s action was a decision item (not a public hearing) and, per the record, no public comments were received before the vote. The matter will proceed to the normal engineering and final-plat review processes required by city code and the conditions in the staff report.
