Planning commission forwards positive recommendation for Quarry Village Lot 5 low‑impact permit
Summary
The commission voted to forward a positive recommendation to the community development director for a low‑impact permit for a 13,600‑square‑foot, two‑story shell building at Quarry Village Junction. Conditions and the consent agreement will govern allowable tenants; the motion passed 6–1.
The Snyderville Basin Planning Commission voted to forward a positive recommendation to the county community development director for a low‑impact permit for Lot 5 of the Quarry Village Junction subdivision, a proposed 13,600‑square‑foot, two‑story shell building at the subdivision entrance.
Senior planner Amir told the commission the development is governed partly by county code and partly by an existing consent (development) agreement for Quarry Village; staff’s report analyzed both sets of requirements. Parking, plazas and much of the required circulation were already built as part of the subdivision infrastructure, the staff report said, and the applicant is proposing to “plug” the building into those existing improvements with some additional sidewalk connections and landscaping. The applicant described the shell building as intended for retail and office tenants; the owner said they are not seeking restaurant tenants at this time (no grease trap) but had recent interest from a gym and from lighting/furniture tenants.
During the hearing commissioners asked whether the proposed roof patio is a third story and whether the building’s materials and roofline match the rest of Quarry Village. Staff and the applicant said the rooftop elements meet the site’s height limitations; the rooftop patio is treated as an accessory roof element rather than a full third story for the setback/height calculation and the homeowners’ association would maintain shared rooftop spaces. The applicant and staff also confirmed the consent agreement and business licensing processes will limit or verify allowable tenant uses in line with prior subdivision agreements.
A motion to forward the low‑impact permit to the community development director with a positive recommendation carried 6–1; the meeting record shows Commissioner Jim Jeffrey cast the lone opposing vote. The community development director is the final land‑use authority for this permit type and may accept or reject the commission recommendation.
Staff recommended approval with the findings and conditions listed in the staff report; the commission’s action was procedural (a recommendation) rather than final approval of any tenant or lease.
