Planning commission approves Sage Flats multifamily site plan on 16.7 acres
Summary
The commission approved a site-plan design review for Sage Flats Apartments, a proposed multifamily development on roughly 16.7 acres north of 3100 North; motion passed 6-0.
The Tooele City Planning Commission on Wednesday approved a site-plan design review for the Sage Flats apartment development, a multifamily rental project proposed on about 16.7 acres immediately north of 3100 North and west of SR-36 (Main Street).
Planning staff member Mr. Agard presented the application and described the site as largely vacant ground with one nearby single-family residence about 200 to 300 feet to the northeast. The property is zoned MR-20 (multifamily residential, 20 dwelling units per acre). The applicant proposes multiple apartment buildings with internal parking, garage structures to meet the city’s covered-parking requirement and amenities including a clubhouse, pool and gathering spaces.
“We are confident that they comply with the city standards and ordinances,” Agard said, describing stormwater detention at the northwest corner, the proposed garage structures and landscaping plans that rely primarily on dry-scape with trees and shrubs. Agard said the project’s building materials meet Tooele City’s multifamily design guidelines and noted that 40% of the exterior would be brick veneer with complementary fiber cement siding.
Commissioner Proctor moved to approve the site-plan design review application (application no. 2025040), and Commissioner Anderson seconded. The roll-call vote was: Commissioner Hammer — aye; Commissioner Proctor — aye; Commissioner Hamilton — aye; Commissioner Jensen — aye; Commissioner Anderson — aye; Commissioner Sloan — aye. The motion passed 6-0.
Staff recommended approval subject to the standard housekeeping conditions listed in the staff report dated Sept. 3, 2025. The project’s site plan shows building orientations to screen parking from public streets and includes covered garages meeting the city’s requirement that one of every two required parking stalls be covered.
The commission’s approval authorizes the applicant to proceed to building-permit submittal and implementation subject to the staff conditions and applicable permitting reviews.
