Planning commission approves major home‑occupation permit for A+ Carpet Repairs

The Murray City Planning Commission on July 2 approved a major home‑occupation permit for A+ Carpet Repairs, a sole‑operator carpet repair business at 5488 Hollow Springs Drive.

Staff presented the request and said the business is classified as a contracting service under the land‑use ordinance and therefore requires a major home‑occupation permit and a business license. Staff told the commission the applicant is the only employee, clients will not visit the property, repair work will take place at client locations and the applicant stores tools and equipment in a designated work vehicle parked at the residence. Staff recommended approval subject to conditions in the staff report.

Applicant Richard Miller stated his name and address and confirmed he moved his business from West Valley. Miller told commissioners his work vehicle is a marked work truck with the business name and phone number and that typical hours would be about 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

With no members of the public speaking on the item, a motion to approve the permit (subject to five conditions) carried on a unanimous roll‑call vote.

The commission did not read the conditions aloud in the meeting transcript; the approval is subject to the conditions listed in the staff report and the city business‑license process. The chair welcomed the applicant to Murray and wished him luck with the business.

Next steps: the applicant must comply with the conditions in the staff report and obtain a business license before operating under the home‑occupation permit.
