Orderville commission approves most conditional use permits, denies laundry facility over employee rule
Summary
On Dec. 18 the Orderville Planning and Zoning Commission approved short-term rentals for two applicants and permits for two mechanic/repair operations, tabled one quasi-public VRBO application, and denied a laundry facility permit because employees conflicted with the town's home-occupation rule.
The Orderville Planning and Zoning Commission considered eight items Dec. 18 and took formal action on multiple conditional use permit (CUP) applications.
Robert Bennett's application for a short-term rental at 130 South 100 East was approved after commissioners confirmed the house's four bedrooms and parking. Bennett said he planned to operate the property as an Airbnb; the commission moved and approved the conditional use permit.
A separate application from VRBO Investments (Micah Young) for a "quasi-public" use at 125 South Center Street was found incomplete—missing a plot plan and specific use description—and the commission voted to table the item for further review at a work meeting.
Tyler Shoaf's request to permit a short-term rental at 550 South Center Street was approved. Shoaf explained he is moving out of state and wants to retain the property as a short-term rental until family circumstances change; commissioners required a designated local contact and confirmation of application forms.
Sean and Dusty Frost returned seeking a permit to operate a YouTube content/automotive mechanic operation at 2355 South State Street. Commissioners discussed and attached conditions including a designated on-site guest parking area and a quiet-time restriction. Speaker 2 recused from voting because of a familial connection; the remaining commission members approved the permit.
Applicant Alex Pavlidis asked to use a Quonset hut at 85 Frost Lane as a laundry facility to serve short-term rental management. Commissioners read the town's home-occupation definition aloud and concluded that the presence of employees conflicted with that definition (which allows home occupation only if carried on by persons residing in the dwelling unit and disallows employees). By motion the commission recommended denial and advised Pavlidis to appeal to the Board of Adjustment or pursue a variance.
Wes and Kimberly Lamb were approved for a mechanic shop and mobile mechanic repair at 150 West 2500 South after commissioners found the parking adequate and recommended that the town council impose conditions including no on-street parking and observance of quiet hours.
Actions at a glance:
- Robert Bennett, 130 South 100 East — Conditional use permit for short-term rental: approved.
- VRBO Investments / Micah Young, 125 South Center Street — Quasi-public use: tabled for missing documentation.
- Tyler Shoaf, 550 South Center Street — Conditional use permit for short-term rental: approved (local contact required).
- Sean & Dusty Frost, 2355 South State Street — YouTube content creator/mechanic: approved with conditions (designated parking; quiet hours 7PM–7AM); Speaker 2 recused.
- Alex Pavlidis, 85 Frost Lane — Laundry facility: recommended denial due to employees present; applicant advised to appeal to Board of Adjustment.
- Wes & Kimberly Lamb, 150 West 2500 South — Mechanic shop/mobile repair: approved; commission recommended conditions including no on-street parking and quiet hours.
The commission also urged town council to consider petitioning ordinance changes around home-occupation/employee rules if the Board of Adjustment or repeated variances indicate systemic conflict between current code and common local uses.
Next step: The commission's recommendations will be forwarded to the town council for any required licensing and final approvals; applicants denied were advised on appeal routes or variance requests.
