Council approves conditional use permit for enclosed vehicle storage on Anderson Junction Road

The Toquerville City Council approved a conditional‑use permit (CUP) for Zion Toquerville Storage, a proposed enclosed vehicle storage and rental facility on Anderson Junction Road.

Developer Bradley Harrell described a phased plan in which phase 1 would provide enclosed storage and limited rental services with low trip generation; later phases could include retail or hotel pads to capture sales tax. Harrell said the project included an expanded landscape buffer near the freeway to address noise and visual concerns.

Council members and residents asked about hours of operation, lighting, truck traffic and on‑site staff. Harrell said storage would permit 24‑hour access for storage customers but that staffing and concierge services would be provided during normal business hours; he also proposed on‑site residential security for phase 1 to reduce night‑time impacts. Planning and legal staff confirmed that the council could attach conditions to a CUP and limit approval to the shown site and site plan.

Council approved the CUP by motion with conditions that limit the permit to the 9.3‑acre area shown on the site plan, require commercial design and landscaping standards, and allow on‑site residential/security staffing for phase 1. Council members noted storage is a lower‑impact interim use and that higher‑tax uses could be considered in later approvals, which would require additional review.

What happens next: Staff will issue the CUP consistent with conditions, coordinate required infrastructure upgrades (water, storm drain, road widening) and track any required UDOT coordination for on‑ramp improvements.
