Planning Commission approves Apollo Burger site plan and drive‑through conditional use permit on Redwood Road

The West Jordan Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit and preliminary site plan on Jan. 7 for a new Apollo Burger restaurant at 7134 South Redwood Road.

Tracy Stocken, the project architect, told the commission the proposal replaces an existing office/drive‑through building with a new single‑story restaurant and drive‑through. Planning staff noted the drive‑through met the city’s stacking requirement (seven spaces provided; code requires six) and that the project exceeds required parking (39 spaces provided; code requires 32 for the building size).

Commissioners asked about vehicle conflict points and queuing. Taylor Jensen said the city’s traffic engineer reviewed the design and staff were comfortable with the current configuration; staff also noted the design review committee recommended approval without negative comments.

Commissioner Roberts moved to approve the conditional use permit for a fast‑food restaurant with drive‑through, and Commissioner Hollingsworth seconded. The motion passed. Commissioners then approved the preliminary site plan in a separate motion; that motion also passed unanimously.

Staff said remaining items include recordation of an easement for a water meter and the applicant’s submission of final site‑plan materials for a staff‑level final site plan and building permit.

No members of the public spoke on the application during the public hearing.
