Loading...
Summary
The commission recommended approval of a conditional use permit for BNP Firearms and So Much More (applicant Patsy Perry) to operate a home‑based firearms transfer service at 176 S. Hill St.; commissioners added a condition prohibiting on‑site retail ammunition storage and limited customer visits by appointment.
The Grantsville City Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of a conditional use permit for Patsy Perry to operate BNP Firearms and So Much More LLC, a home‑based business handling firearm transfers, background checks and limited gunsmithing at 176 South Hill Street.
Staff (voice S5) said the proposed business would operate from a secured basement office, be operated solely by the homeowners, and comply with federal, state and local laws. The applicant, Patsy Perry (voice S7), told the commission customers would visit by appointment and that she did not intend to hold ammunition inventory on site; any ordered ammunition would be delivered directly to the customer and picked up for paperwork when necessary.
Commissioners stressed neighbor concerns and proposed conditions to limit retail inventory and ammunition storage. Commissioner Cameron Moulton (voice S4) moved to recommend approval with the conditions listed in the staff report plus a prohibition on the storage of ammunition inventory for retail sale; the motion was seconded and the commission voiced “Aye,” passing the recommendation.
The recommendation directs staff to prepare the permit with the added condition; the matter will advance to the required administrative steps for final issuance under city code.
