Price City approves conditional use permit for storage expansion at 350 North Cedar Hills Drive
Summary
Price City Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to approve a conditional use permit enabling the expansion of a self‑storage complex at 350 North Cedar Hills Drive, with conditions covering floodplain elevation, stormwater controls, public infrastructure installation and operating restrictions.
Price City Planning and Zoning Commission on April 21 unanimously approved a conditional use permit to expand an existing self‑storage complex at 350 North Cedar Hills Drive.
The permit, approved after a brief presentation from the property owner and limited questions from commissioners, allows the applicant to add 67 storage units as part of a phased development on the site. The agreement includes conditions on site work, lighting, fencing, stormwater controls and public infrastructure installation.
The applicant, identified in the meeting as Robert Edsel (also referred to as Bob Yeatzel), told the commission the expansion is part of a phased project that began in 1998 and that equipment is already on site. “We’re gonna put 67 more units in there,” Edsel said. He said construction work will include a culvert to direct drainage to Meads Wash, placement of about 800 tons of road base, curb and gutter and ultimately a gated security entrance expected by late summer.
Planning staff highlighted several required conditions recorded in the permit. Those include: exterior high‑efficiency LED lighting during hours of access; maintenance of a six‑foot perimeter fence; a minimum 20‑foot separation between buildings as required by the Price City Fire Chief; installation of curb, gutter and sidewalk on both 300 North and Cedar Hills (meeting Price City standards); a stormwater management plan and engineering to retain and release flows for a 100‑year, one‑hour storm event to a qualified stormwater conveyance; submission of an elevation certificate; completion of a public infrastructure development agreement and any required financial surety; and compliance with building permits and any Carbon County building‑department requirements.
A commissioner raised concerns about nearby school bus stops and pedestrian safety during construction; the applicant said crews are aware of the bus stop and that vehicles will be able to pull fully into the site so as not to obstruct traffic. Another commissioner noted that the west side of the property is affected by the 100‑year floodplain; the applicant said certified elevation documentation shows finished elevations 15–20 feet above the floodplain and that no power will be provided to units, limiting the potential for occupancy.
The commission moved to approve the conditional use permit; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously. The applicant signed the agreement after the meeting and staff said the executed document would be emailed to him.
The permit runs with the land and remains in effect unless terminated for change of use or failure to meet the performance requirements stated in the Price City land use code.
