Commission requires 6‑foot privacy fence as it approves mixed‑use CUP at 220 S Main
Summary
Tooele planning commissioners approved a conditional use permit for a six‑unit multi‑tenant mixed‑use building at 220 South Main (application 2025096) and required a 6‑foot privacy fence along the north property line to address neighboring residential privacy and noise concerns.
The Tooele City Planning Commission on Nov. 12 approved a conditional use permit that authorizes professional offices, personal services and retail (maximum 3,000 square feet) at 220 South Main in the MUG (Mixed Use General) zoning district (application 2025096). Staff said the proposal is a multi‑tenant building planned to share access with Lawson Family Dental and recommended approval with standard conditions.
"There are no new accesses proposed with this development," planning staff Andrew Agard said, noting the applicant provided a signed access easement with Lawson Family Dental. Agard also told the commission that the property is in a mixed‑use zone where many uses require conditional use permits and that one public comment raised concerns about a chain‑link fence and whether masonry would be required.
Commission discussion focused on how to mitigate impacts to adjacent residences. Commissioner Kelly reported driving by the property and noted the chain‑link fence referenced in public comments appears closer to Lawson Family Dental; commissioners discussed requiring a privacy barrier to reduce headlights and noise for nearby homes. Commissioner Proctor moved to approve the CUP subject to staff findings and added a condition requiring a six‑foot privacy fence for the full length of the north side of the property; a second was received and the motion passed 7–0.
Planning staff said the CUP approval authorizes the uses requested but that detailed site plan and engineering review — including exact fence type and placement — will be resolved through the site's technical approval process.
