Planning commission approves rezone of 281 West 8600 South to clean industrial
Summary
The Midvale City Planning Commission recommended approval to rezone 281 West 8600 South from regional commercial to clean industrial, citing compatibility with adjacent indoor manufacturing and redevelopment of a vacant parcel; the applicant said the change will allow a new building next to an existing operation.
The Midvale City Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of a rezone for 281 West 8600 South, moving the property from regional commercial to clean industrial.
Planning staff member Elizabeth told commissioners the applicant argued the change better aligns the parcel with surrounding indoor manufacturing uses and would put a vacant parcel back into productive use, noting the site sits on Midvale’s southern border adjacent to Sandy. Staff said the proposal meets Midvale City Code 17-7-13 and the general-plan criteria for redevelopment.
Applicant Jean Webster spoke at the hearing, saying, “My name is Jean Webster and I'm also the owner of the property. ... We are trying to build a new building right next to it,” and explained the new building would expand existing indoor manufacturing operations.
No members of the public spoke during the public hearing. Commissioner discussion focused on compatibility with surrounding land uses; one commissioner observed that similar industrial zoning exists just south in Sandy and that the clean-industrial designation limits operations to mostly indoor activities.
A motion to recommend approval, with findings noted in the staff report, was moved and seconded and passed on a roll-call vote. Chair Eberts, Vice Chair Ledkey, Commissioner Anderson and Commissioner Broeky voted in favor.
The commission asked staff and the applicant to continue working together on final design and compliance details required by the zoning change. The matter will proceed per the city’s ordinance process and the applicable sections of Midvale City Code 17-7-13.
