Commission approves four‑lot condo plat and single‑story warehouse site plan at 364 S. 700 W.

Pleasant Grove planning commissioners recommended approval for a four‑lot preliminary condominium plat (PG Business Park 3, Plat B) and a commercial site plan to construct a one‑story multi‑tenant warehouse building at approximately 364 South 700 West in the Manufacturing Distribution (MD) zone.

City planner Jacob Hawkins explained that the subject parcel is part of a larger business‑park area developed in the 2002–2006 period. Because the broader business park originally met large‑lot requirements, the proposed condominium plat subdivides building units without creating new individual‑acre lots; staff said prior approvals address minimum-lot‑area requirements. The proposed building would be roughly 22 feet tall, consistent with neighboring metal warehouse buildings; elevations show a metal building with a seven‑foot masonry wainscot on the front facade.

Hawkins said the property is vacant and was previously shown as a future development area on the plat; he also noted that Army Corps mapping previously flagged a potential wetland at the location, but staff contacted the Army Corps, which confirmed that the mapped feature reflected an engineered detention basin or lidar detection rather than an actual regulatory wetland at the proposed building site. The applicant plans to relocate the detention facility to the southern end of the property and manage stormwater accordingly.

Parking was discussed: a warehouse parking calculation based on gross floor area would technically require only three spaces, but the applicant provided a layout with 26 parking spaces to accommodate office mezzanine and employee parking. Seventeen of those spaces overlap an adjacent lot; the applicant will record a cross‑property parking easement simultaneously with plat recording to preserve use of those spaces. An existing six‑foot vinyl fence and covered parking for adjacent condos separates the site from residential uses.

Applicant representative David Fairbanks said the project is straightforward and consistent with surrounding development. Commissioners moved to recommend approval of both the plat and the site plan, conditioned on meeting final planning, engineering, and fire department requirements.

The motions recorded in the hearing: a motion to recommend approval of the four‑lot preliminary condominium plat (moved by Commissioner Fugal, seconded by Commissioner Martineau) and a motion to recommend approval of the commercial site plan for a single‑story multi‑tenant warehouse building (moved by Commissioner Patton, seconded by Commissioner Butler); both motions carried.
