Planning commission clears brewery at 151 W. Angelo Ave.; operation limited to weekdays and subject to MTOID pretreatment
Summary
The Planning Commission unanimously approved a Conditional Use Permit for a brewery (manufacturing only, no taproom) at 151 West Angelo Avenue in the TOD‑Core district, imposing conditions including MTOID pretreatment/grease interceptor, five employee parking spaces, indoor containment of mechanical equipment, and weekday-only operations (6:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.).
The South Salt Lake City Planning Commission on July 9 unanimously approved a Conditional Use Permit for an alcoholic beverage manufacturer (brewery) at 151 West Angelo Avenue. The commission's approval covers manufacturing and wholesale operations only; the applicant did not propose a retail taproom or public‑facing gathering space.
Senior City Planner Spencer Cawley told commissioners the 0.36‑acre site contains a 3,780‑square‑foot commercial warehouse that will house all brewing equipment indoors. Cawley explained operational and infrastructure conditions staff recommended, including that the applicant satisfy Mt. Olympus Improvement District (MTOID) requirements for wastewater pre‑treatment and a grease interceptor before final inspection. “The applicant indicated that their standard operating hours will be 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday,” Cawley said as he reviewed staff-recommended limits; the approval includes a prohibition on deliveries on weekends and a requirement that all loading and staging occur on‑site.
The staff report noted the property uses an onsite well (no impact on city culinary water) and that sanitary sewer collection is served by MTOID. The application states the operator currently expects five employees, and staff conditioned the permit on providing at least five off‑street employee parking spaces prior to issuance of a business license. The commission also required that all mechanical equipment be contained within the existing structure to limit noise and that any future outdoor grain silo would require a separate building permit and city approval.
Applicant Jeff Isbell acknowledged he was uncertain about specific odor‑control measures during the meeting and said odors can escape when doors are opened; Chair Carter asked whether a stack or scrubber would be used, and the applicant said odors are not actively pumped out of the facility. Commissioners and staff noted the TOD‑Core zone allows breweries, and the permit includes several operational conditions and mandatory permits (building permit, DABS and city business license) before manufacturing may begin. The motion to approve passed unanimously (Commissioners Pechmann, Self, Southey, Slifka and Chair Carter voting yes).
