Planning commission approves permits for Simple Manufacturing and Dime in M1 building
Summary
The Herriman Planning Commission approved conditional use permits for Simple Manufacturing LLC and Dime to occupy a multi-tenant M1 zoned building off Redwood Road, subject to staff conditions limiting formulation types and requiring compliance with state, city and ISO/FDA-related manufacturing standards.
The Herriman Planning Commission voted to approve conditional use permits that will allow Simple Manufacturing LLC and Dime to occupy separate spaces in a large multi-tenant building in the Porter Rockwell area.
Planning staff described the site as an M1‑zoned, tilt‑up industrial building with 244 entitled parking spaces; the prior tenant used about 80 stalls. The approved plan assigns roughly 72,654 square feet to Simple Manufacturing (about 4,500 square feet of office and 68,154 square feet of manufacturing/warehouse) and 29,252 square feet to Dime. Staff recommended approval after finding the proposal meets M1 and conditional‑use standards and engineering raised no concerns.
Staff told commissioners the Simple operation will focus on warehousing and light manufacturing of cosmetics and personal‑care products. The presentation noted that cosmetics are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and that Simple holds SGS/ISO certifications for good manufacturing and storage practices. Staff recommended conditions including limiting formulation to cosmetics as defined by federal guidance, maintaining ISO/GMP practices, and complying with any state or city requirements related to the use of alcohol in fragrances and perfumes.
A Dime representative, Sam, confirmed the tenant operates a small storefront at another location and said retail at this site would be minimal: “less than 1% of our revenue comes through that storefront,” Sam said. Sam and staff agreed the small retail element met the M1 zoning parameters applied in recent reviews.
Commissioners also asked about hazardous materials and testing. Applicants said Simple will not store raw ethanol in bulk but will store fragrance blends and perform bottling/filling on site; lab testing is handled by third‑party providers. Staff reported no outstanding engineering or environmental concerns tied to those practices.
Commissioner Adam moved to approve item 4.1 with staff’s four recommended conditions; the motion passed. The commission then approved item 4.2 with staff’s recommendation in a separate motion. Both approvals included the conditions described by staff.
The approvals clear the way for the tenants to proceed with tenant finishes and any additional licensing or building department requirements that apply at the time of occupancy. The planning commission record will be transmitted to city departments as the applicants pursue the tenant‑finish permits.
