Orem commission approves three‑lot subdivision and Costco fuel‑center relocation
Summary
The commission approved preliminary subdivision for a three‑lot flag subdivision at 600 S/900 E (Home Again Lane) and a site plan to relocate Costco’s fuel pumps to a new canopy area with doubled pump capacity; motions carried in today’s meeting.
The Orem City Planning Commission on June 17 approved two administrative items: preliminary approval for the three‑lot subdivision known as Home Again Lane and a site-plan application to relocate Costco’s fuel center on the existing Costco property near 648 East and 800 South.
Home Again Lane: Staff said the proposed three‑lot subdivision meets the R8 zone size requirements (the smallest lot shown in the packet is about 12,355 square feet) and includes two deep flag lots served by a long access stem. “I move that the Orem City Planning Commission approve the request for preliminary approval of the Home Again Lane subdivision,” a commissioner moved; the motion was seconded and the commission approved the preliminary plan.
Costco fuel‑center relocation: Staff presented a site plan that relocates the existing fuel pumps to a canopy area closer to the building, adds 16 pumps (configured as eight longer Q lines for 32 fueling positions), and converts the old pump area to roughly 281 parking stalls. Staff said the project required traffic coordination and DRC review; engineering changes were made to ensure proper vehicle flow and a restriping plan on 700 East was included. The applicant’s consultant, Josh Beach of Course Tates Group, told the commission the number of underground storage tanks will remain the same (three 40,000‑gallon tanks plus a 30,000‑gallon additive tank) and that tanker deliveries will use an off‑street drop area to avoid blocking 700 East.
A commissioner moved approval of the Costco site plan and the commission approved it as meeting code requirements; the transcript records that Carl moved and Susan seconded the motion.
Votes and implementation: The transcript records each item as approved in voice vote; no roll‑call tallies were included in the meeting transcript. Planning staff will coordinate final engineering and construction details with public works and the applicant before issuing final permits.
Ending: Both items were recorded as approved on June 17 and staff noted follow-up engineering and coordination steps for construction and public‑works review.
