Commission approves Abington subdivision amendment and Hillcrest Pharmacy site plan
Summary
The commission approved a subdivision amendment to formalize redevelopment of the Abington lots and granted site‑plan approval for a new ~4,000 sq ft Murray Hillcrest Pharmacy with a drive‑through at 5317–5361 South State Street; staff and the applicant discussed sequencing for vacating an existing UDOT easement and an anticipated end‑of‑Q3 2025 completion.
The Murray Planning Commission on April 17 approved two linked applications for properties between 5317 and 5361 South State Street: a proposed amendment to the Abington subdivision and site‑plan approval for a new Murray Hillcrest Pharmacy.
Ruth Ruach, planning staff, explained the amendments would consolidate and reconfigure lots (about six acres) to create Lot 6 where an old seminary building currently sits and enable development of a roughly 4,000‑square‑foot pharmacy building with a drive‑through that loops around the northwest corner of the structure. Staff reported the subdivision conforms with the Utah State code and the City’s subdivision ordinance (Title 16), and that parking requirements would be satisfied (21 required; 26 provided). Notices were distributed and staff had received no public comments.
Applicant Ryan Kimball told the commission he had reviewed the conditions and raised a sequencing question about an existing UDOT easement; he said he expects project completion by the end of the third quarter of 2025. Staff said the easement vacation could proceed in coordination with city staff and, if timing prevents it, the commission could amend conditions later.
Commissioner [name recorded in motion] moved to approve the Abington subdivision amendment, and the motion passed on roll call. A separate motion to approve the pharmacy site‑plan also passed on a roll call vote.
The approvals are conditioned on the items listed in staff’s report and require the applicant to complete building permits, satisfy utility and access requirements, and comply with the city’s land‑use standards prior to occupancy.
What happens next: the applicant may file for building permits and must meet the conditions of approval. The commission’s actions permit the development to move forward subject to city permit review.
