Cottonwood Heights hearing officer moves to approve short-term rental at Wasatch Boulevard with conditions

Cottonwood Heights — City planning staff recommended approval of a conditional use permit on Dec. 3 for a short-term rental at 7430 South Wasatch Boulevard Unit H1, and Hearing Officer Jim Spung moved to approve the application based on staff findings.

Emma, a city staff member presenting the application, told the hearing that "the applicant is Dave Buckley Miller" and that the property is owned by Med Gas Condominium LLC. She said the unit is in an RM (multi-family) zone inside the Canyon Racquet Club planned unit development and that the building contains 40 units accessed by an internal private road. "We find that this request meets the standards for a short term rental as outlined in the city code," Emma said, and staff recommended approval with conditions.

Staff outlined the conditions recommended for approval: the applicant must obtain a business license and display it at the unit's main entry; maintain compliance with all short-term rental code sections; provide a 24/7 hotline for resolving issues; limit occupancy to no more than nine persons; and allow no more than four bedrooms in operation as approved in the application.

Hearing Officer Jim Spung invited the applicant to speak; the applicant declined to add comments. Spung then made the formal motion "to approve project CUP-25-017 based on the recommended findings for approval outlined in the staff report." The transcript records the motion but does not record a second or a roll-call vote in the hearing record.

There were no public comments on the application during the public hearing period. The hearing proceeded to administrative business after the motion.

Next steps: The transcript does not record a final roll-call vote or implementation steps beyond the motion. Any required permits, business license issuance, or code compliance verifications will follow normal city processing and enforcement procedures.
