Planning commission approves conditional‑use permit for proposed auto sales at 480 West 4800 South
Summary
The Planning Commission approved a conditional‑use permit to establish an auto sales office and convert a nonconforming residence at 480 West 4800 South to commercial use; staff said the site meets parking requirements if five stalls are striped and a few shrubs are added, and recommended approval subject to seven conditions.
The Murray City Planning Commission voted July 2 to approve a conditional‑use permit that will allow auto sales at 480 West 4800 South, authorizing conversion of a formerly residential building and rear tow yard into a sales office.
Staff presented site details, saying the half‑acre property sits in the MG zone and currently includes a converted residence and a tow yard. The existing building would become an office for auto sales. Staff told commissioners the site meets required parking (six stalls) and the applicant proposes nine; a condition requires striping five unmarked stalls before a business license is issued. Staff also flagged missing shrubs that must be installed per landscaping requirements and listed seven conditions of approval. Staff said 18 notices were mailed to property owners within 300 feet and no public comments had been received.
Applicant Marcus Spikes confirmed his name and address and said he could comply with the staff recommendations.
After no public comment, a motion to approve the conditional‑use permit subject to the seven conditions passed on a unanimous roll‑call vote. Staff noted that once the permit is finalized and the site is made commercial, the prior nonconforming residential use will no longer be allowed at that location.
Next steps: the applicant must complete required site improvements (parking striping, landscaping) and secure a city business license to operate the auto sales office.
