Planning commission approves conditional use permit for used car dealership on Redwood Road, sets conditions on display and lighting
Summary
Taylorsville commissioners approved a conditional use permit for a used car dealership at 4479 S. Redwood Road, 4-2, with conditions restricting display area, prohibiting outdoor storage on the undeveloped portion, and requiring paved customer parking and repair of gravel prior to final approval.
The Taylorsville Planning Commission approved a non-administrative conditional use permit to operate a used car dealership at 4479 South Redwood Road, subject to conditions intended to limit site impacts and require code compliance.
Planner Terryne Bergeson presented the application and noted the applicant, Guillermo Gonzalez, was not present due to technical difficulties. The site contains a roughly 1,300-square-foot building with three front parking spaces and approximately eleven spaces in the rear; the undeveloped eastern portion of the lot contains vegetation and a temporary trailer that staff recommended be removed.
Public commenters raised concerns about additional lighting, potential access to the canal behind the property, and proximity to a nearby middle school. Bergeson told commissioners there were no current plans for new lighting; any future lighting changes would require a photometric plan to prevent light spillage into the residential area. She recommended conditions including (1) removal of the temporary trailer and vehicle on the undeveloped portion prior to final approval, (2) prohibition on outdoor storage on the undeveloped portion, (3) repair of gravel and requirement that all display parking be on paved surfaces, and (4) prohibition of inoperable vehicle storage.
Commissioner Don Quigley argued for the applicant’s presence to answer questions and to ensure that any future expansion return to the commission; an initial motion to table until the applicant could attend failed on a tie vote. The commission then approved the CUP subject to staff findings and conditions by a 4-2 vote (Commissioners Quigley and Wright opposed; Muñoz abstained).
The approval allows the dealership to operate Monday–Friday 10 a.m.–6 p.m. as proposed, with staff to verify compliance with the listed conditions prior to final sign-off. Any significant change to the undeveloped portion or site improvements would require a return to the Planning Commission.
