Action Auto seeks phased business license; commission urges formal application and phased site plan

A representative for Action Auto attended the Cedar Fort Planning Commission meeting on June 10 to present a conceptual site plan and to ask whether the business could operate in phases while final site improvements and UDOT approvals are pursued.

Why it matters: The business owner wants to start limited operations (storage/parking and eventual vehicle sales) before building the full site. Commissioners said the town can work with phased proposals but emphasized that applicants must submit formal applications, pay required fees and follow commercial development standards in Title 10.

What was discussed

Staff said the commission had only received a conceptual site plan and no formal application or fees; the concept review had produced comments but did not substitute for an application. Commissioners agreed they were willing to work with the applicant on a phased plan but reiterated the need for an application so staff can determine which commercial code requirements apply. The commission suggested the owner prepare a phase‑by‑phase plan showing what would be built and operated at each phase.

Next steps

The commission recommended that Action Auto: - Prepare and submit a phased site plan and formal application with required fees to planning staff. - Work with staff on the concept review feedback and align the plan with Title 10 commercial requirements.

Ending: Commissioners indicated they support working with the applicant but said the town cannot approve operating privileges without a formal application and code compliance.
