The Smithfield Planning Commission unanimously approved the final plat for Birch Creek Business Park Phase 2, a two-lot commercial subdivision at 475 West 600 South, at its Feb. 18 meeting.
Applicant representatives Jesse Vega and Rigo Chaparro described the proposal as a continuation of Phase 1, which the City Council approved in December 2024 and recorded in August 2025. The Phase 2 plat calls for two commercial buildings—one on the east side and one on the west side of the parcel—and staff noted a planning distinction from Phase 1: buildings in later phases cannot be subdivided in the same way the developer was able to subdivide in Phase 1. City planner Brian Boudrero clarified parcel boundaries shown on the plat map.
Commissioner Klydi Heywood moved to approve the final plat for Birch Creek Business Park Phase 2; Commissioner Brad Thatcher seconded. The motion passed 6-0, with commissioners Beckstead, Henderson, Heywood, Marshall, Meier and Thatcher recorded as voting yes.
The approval finalizes the two-lot/unit subdivision for the property zoned General Commercial and allows the applicant to proceed with recording and subsequent site preparations consistent with city subdivision requirements. No conditions beyond standard platting and code compliance were recorded in the minutes.
