Commission continues rezone request for 2530 South Daniels Road after residents raise truck‑traffic and noise concerns
Summary
The commission continued a proposed rezoning of the front parcel at 2530 South Daniels Road to industrial after hearing resident complaints about truck traffic, noise and dust. The applicant’s consultant introduced the proposal and requested a continuation so the applicant can return with more detail.
The Daniel Town Planning Commission on Sept. 17 continued a rezone request for property at 2530 South Daniels Road after residents raised concerns about trucks, noise and dust associated with industrial activity near a residential frontage.
Nisha Franco, a consultant speaking for the applicant, introduced the proposal and asked to continue the hearing to give the applicant time to appear and respond in person. Franco said the applicant owns two abutting parcels: a 3.6-acre back parcel already zoned industrial and a 1.12-acre front parcel currently zoned residential. She said the applicant seeks to rezone the front parcel to industrial so he can build a small office and provide nearby parking and storage for trucks that currently travel to a Lehi headquarters.
A nearby resident objected, telling the commission the neighborhood has seen increased truck traffic and dust and that children walk to school along streets where trucks now move in and out. “I’m really, really tired of that crap,” the resident said on the record, urging the commission to avoid pushing industrial traffic onto residential roads.
Commissioners asked about access (Franco said there would be two entrances, at the north and south ends), acreage, and whether an easement or alternate access could route trucks away from residential streets. Staff and commissioners also noted a recent EPA site inspection of a nearby plant: planning staff said the EPA inspected in response to complaints and that the plant cited in the packet was found to be within EPA parameters; a copy of that report was placed in the meeting packet.
After discussion about notice, recordation and the benefit of the applicant attending in person, a motion to continue the rezone public hearing to the commission’s next regular meeting carried. The continuation allows the applicant time to supply additional materials and address neighbor concerns before the commission makes a recommendation to the town council.
The commission emphasized that the rezoning decision will hinge on submitted materials, access and mitigation measures to limit truck routing through residential areas; the council will consider the recommendation if and when the commission completes its review.
