The Riverton City Planning Commission on a unanimous voice vote approved a conditional use permit for Bear River Converters, PLZ 24‑2042, allowing exhaust‑system component sales to be run from a detached garage at 1897 West Park Avenue.

Staff told commissioners the property is a 0.67‑acre R‑4 lot near the post office and that the business has operated from the home for about 10 years. The applicant, who identified herself as Anna Millsap, described taking over a family business and said she currently employs two siblings and runs primarily mail‑order and drop‑ship operations.

Millsap said the business ships small parts daily and larger components are shipped directly from manufacturers to customers. “This year I’ve actually gotten noticed more,” Millsap said, describing bulk orders that ship directly from the manufacturing plant and removing the need to store large stock at the property. “That’s the dream. Yeah. I haven’t been able to make that leap yet… it would be really convenient to get into a retail store eventually.”

Staff said the home itself remains for personal use and that the detached garage is roughly half used for business. Deliveries use a lift‑gate truck about six to eight times per year; staff reported no customer visits to the residence and that employees carpool and park at the rear by the garage. Staff recommended approval with conditions limiting nonresident employees, off‑street parking, and use of up to 50% of the garage for business activities.

Commissioner Kiel moved approval with the staff conditions; Commissioner Beck seconded. The motion passed on an all‑in‑favor voice vote.

The commission record shows no public commenters opposed; staff said one neighbor called with initial concerns but, after learning the business had operated for a decade with minimal neighborhood impact, withdrew objections.

The planning commission granted the conditional use permit with the conditions described in the staff report (conditions 1–6 referenced in the record but not listed verbatim in the transcript). The permit allows the applicant to continue operating from the detached garage under the stated limits.

Because this was an administrative conditional use permit, staff will monitor compliance with the stated conditions; any substantial change (for example, customers visiting the home, additional employees beyond the permitted number, or storage of large parts on site) would require further review.
