Grantsville planning commission approves outdoor RV storage at 519 W. Main with conditions
Summary
The Planning Commission unanimously approved a conditional use permit allowing Shelton Ross to operate outdoor recreational-vehicle storage at 519 West Main Street, subject to conditions including no on-site habitation, downward-directed lighting, required insurance and registration, and periodic permit review.
Community Development Director Bill Cobabe presented a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) request from Shelton Ross to operate outdoor RV storage at approximately 519 West Main Street in the Commercial Shopping (C-S) zone. Staff recommended approval, concluding the use meets City Code and is not expected to have a significant adverse impact on surrounding properties.
During the public hearing and commission discussion, members pressed the applicant and staff on operational details. Chair Sarah Moore asked about propane tanks; Shelby Moore, Planning and Zoning Administrator, said the Fire Marshal reviewed the proposal and did not express concerns about propane tanks or batteries being stored on-site. The applicant, Shelton Ross, said customers would have 24-hour access to retrieve vehicles but that his contract prohibits unauthorized activity, overnight habitation, repairs, or storage of spare parts. "Customers would be required to maintain insurance on stored vehicles," Ross said, noting insurance and registration requirements are included in customer contracts.
Commissioners also asked about site security and monitoring; Ross confirmed the property is monitored by cameras that he can access remotely. He said he has been working to clean up and improve the site, moving a fence line to facilitate vehicle turning movements and avoiding direct access from SR‑138.
Vice Chair Jason Hill moved to approve the CUP with conditions: storage limited to operable recreational vehicles and trailers, gated access, no occupancy or habitation of RVs, no on-site repair or dismantling, required screening and maintenance, downward-directed lighting, compliance with local/state/federal regulations and industry standards, maintenance of business and state licensing, payment of applicable fees, and periodic administrative review or revocation for noncompliance. John Montgomery seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
The permit runs with the land; staff noted enforcement tools and that the permit may be administratively reviewed if public-safety concerns arise. The commission’s action advances the application to applicable administrative processing steps and records the conditions attached to the CUP.
