Commission approves Jordan Credit Union parcel consolidation, site plan and drive‑up teller conditional use
Summary
The Planning Commission granted preliminary subdivision, site plan and conditional‑use approvals for a Jordan Credit Union modernization at 9260 South 300 East, including a relocated drive‑through and a parking reduction justified by a study.
The Sandy City Planning Commission unanimously approved three related actions for the Jordan Credit Union branch at 9260 South 300 East on Aug. 7: preliminary subdivision review to combine two parcels and dedicate right‑of‑way; preliminary site‑plan review for a refreshed exterior, reconfigured parking and new drive‑through arrangement; and a conditional‑use permit for a remote teller drive‑through with associated vehicle queuing.
Nate Reiner of CIR Engineering, representing the credit union, said the project relocates the drive‑through to the west side of the building, improves circulation, reduces the overall paved area and adds landscaping; the applicant is also dedicating additional street width along 300 East to match the standard profile across from the nearby school. Because the reconfigured site reduces the total number of on‑site parking stalls, the applicant requested a parking requirement reduction; staff and the parking study justified a reduction up to 20% under code criteria, and the commission accepted that analysis.
Staff emphasized several mitigation measures that will be required with building permits and final plat: replacement landscaping and park‑strip trees, a masonry screening wall along the north property line adjacent to residences, and adherence to site circulation and queuing drawings. There was no public testimony and staff recommended approval of all three items; commissioners moved, seconded and approved each action by voice vote.
