Hearing officer moves to approve Cottonwood Heights short-term rental at 7430 S. Wasatch with inspection change
Summary
Cottonwood Heights staff recommended approval of CUP-25-014 for a short-term rental at 7430 S. Wasatch Blvd., Unit 12; the hearing officer moved to approve with a change removing the den/office from condition 7’s inspection requirement. One emailed objection was received.
Cottonwood Heights Hearing Officer moved on Oct. 1, 2025, to approve conditional use permit CUP-25-014, allowing a short-term rental at 7430 South Wasatch Boulevard, Unit 12, subject to the staff report conditions and a modification to reword condition 7 to exclude the den/office from the building-inspection requirement.
Planning staff member Maverick presented the application and recommended approval with conditions, describing the unit as a two-bedroom plus office and noting the applicant proposed accommodating up to eight guests. "So we recommended approve this project with the condition," Maverick said during the staff presentation.
Applicant Andrew Kundin questioned the occupancy and inspection requirements, saying the den/office "does not have ingress windows" and should not be counted as a bedroom. Maverick relayed guidance from the building department that if the office/den is not used as a sleeping area it does not require a building inspection, while the business-license inspection would still apply.
The hearing record shows discussion about whether the living room—because it has windows and a patio exit—could be considered a habitable sleeping area for occupancy calculation. The Hearing Officer and staff agreed to modify the condition language to remove the den/office and to defer the final occupancy count until after any required safety inspection of the living room.
No speakers addressed the board in person during the public-comment period; staff noted one emailed objection from a person identified as "Cindy," who wrote to register opposition to the requested short-term rental.
After the motion to approve with the modification, planning staff said they would email the applicant the approval letter and outline the next steps for the business-license process.
The administrative hearing then moved on to the consent agenda and was adjourned. The record does not include a roll-call vote in the transcript; staff follow-up indicates the administrative approval process will continue through the business-license procedures.
