Bannock County planning council approves conditional use permit for portable‑building sales
Summary
The Bannock County Planning and Development Council approved a conditional use permit for a family-owned portable‑building sales lot on Sunnyside Road, setting operating hours, lighting and parking limits and requiring culvert work per Road and Bridge.
The Bannock County Planning and Development Council on June 18 approved a conditional use permit allowing a family business to sell portable buildings from a one‑acre area behind a residence on South Sunnyside Road.
The council voted to approve the application by Candidemic, a family LLC, with conditions including hours of operation from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday; a limit of no more than 30 portable structures on site at any time; compliance with the county sign and outdoor‑lighting ordinances; customer parking contained on the property and no on‑street parking; and required improvements to the existing culvert as recommended by Bannock County Road and Bridge. The council recorded the motion as carrying 3‑0.
Applicant and property owner Tandon Dimick told the council the business would operate as a family LLC with her son and that the sales lot would occupy roughly an acre behind their house on a larger 80‑acre parcel. “It’s not gonna be big,” Dimick said of the operation, adding the only structure to be connected to electricity would be a small office and that most display buildings would sit on gravel or grass rather than concrete.
A planning staff member told the council that outdoor lighting, even if solar, must meet the county’s lighting rules (zoning ordinance requirements referenced in the staff report). Dimick said the solar fixtures she planned to use have shields and would be down‑facing. She also said deliveries should be infrequent and that many customers order customized buildings that ship directly to a buyer’s property.
The staff report recommended five conditions: the hours listed above; signs to conform to section 475.14 of the zoning ordinance; outdoor lighting to conform to section 475.10; a maximum of 30 portable structures on site; and customer parking contained on the property. Council members added a condition that the approach/culvert be improved per Road and Bridge recommendations.
The decision is final at the council level but may be appealed to the Bannock County Board of County Commissioners within 10 days, following the appeal instructions given by staff at the hearing.
