Planning commission approves preliminary plan for Dino Dash car wash, flags neighbor easements and traffic study
Summary
The Hurricane Planning Commission approved a preliminary site plan for Dino Dash Commercial Plaza at 1690 West State Street, including a car wash and rear tenant building, subject to staff and JUC comments. Commissioners required neighbor coordination for road dedications and a traffic study with UDOT.
The Hurricane Planning Commission on June 25 approved a preliminary site plan for Dino Dash Commercial Plaza, a proposed car wash and small commercial building at 1690 West and State Street, subject to staff and JUC (Joint Use Committee) comments and outstanding neighbor agreements.
Agent Eric McFadden of Premier Design introduced the application as "the vacant parcel that sits directly west of Tractor Supply," saying the project will include a car wash at the front and a separate tenant building behind it. McFadden told commissioners the plan shows the site will be accessed from a private drive that the applicant expects to improve and dedicate as a public roadway.
Staff planner Jeremy cautioned the commission that converting the private drive to a public street will require neighbor participation and property dedications or easements. "To commit to that road alignment, we are gonna need participation from the neighbors," Jeremy said, and flagged curb, gutter, sidewalk and landscape-strip improvements that the city expects to collect during review.
Commissioners focused much of the discussion on traffic safety and UDOT jurisdiction at the SR-9/Tractor Supply intersection. Several commissioners said left turns there already create near misses, and staff said a conditional access permit and a traffic impact study could be required by UDOT; the results of that study could determine whether a signal, medians or other mitigation are warranted.
The commission also pressed the applicant to coordinate with neighbors about existing prescriptive easements, an irrigation ditch and an overhead power line that constrain the property. McFadden said utilities exist in the corridor but acknowledged the limited space will make full standard roadway sections difficult without additional dedications.
A motion to approve PSP26-05 subject to staff and JUC comments passed; the chair recorded the outcome as "4 to 1 with 1 abstention." The abstention followed a commissioner’s declaration that his mother’s property borders the site; the city attorney clarified that declaring a conflict is required but does not automatically bar a vote.
What happens next: the approval was preliminary only. Before any final site-plan approval the applicant must resolve right-of-way easements or dedications, address staff and JUC plan comments (including curb/gutter/sidewalk expectations), and provide any traffic-impact information needed for UDOT review.
