Council approves QuikTrip CUP with fencing condition, drops proposed median
Summary
The council approved a Conditional Use Permit for a 4.9-acre QuikTrip at 2700 East and South Weber Drive with conditions including removal of a proposed median and installation of a 6-foot masonry fence; the vote passed 4–1 after debate over traffic safety and impacts on neighboring businesses.
The South Weber City Council voted 4–1 on March 10 to grant Conditional Use Permit 26‑01 to QuikTrip Corporation for a proposed 4.9‑acre convenience store and gas station at the southeast corner of 2700 East and South Weber Drive. Real Estate Project Manager Braxton Kee described QuikTrip's local engagement and store features and said site plan changes were made in response to the Planning Commission. Kee said the company "will comply with that condition" when asked about fence material.
Council discussion focused on traffic geometry and safety. City Engineer Brandon Jones recommended medians on 2700 East to reduce conflict points, noting past access placements for nearby businesses could create new conflicts with the proposed site. Several council members opposed medians because of impacts on existing businesses. Councilman Wayne Winsor moved to approve the CUP with three conditions: removal of the proposed median on 2700 East; installation of a 6‑foot precast masonry fence along the north and east property lines; and compliance with the Planning Commission conditions from Feb. 12, 2026 (adjusted sign placement, additional trees on the south buffer and south‑entrance signage). Council Members Davis, Dills, Halverson and Winsor voted aye; Councilwoman Angie Petty voted nay.
The approved conditions require a masonry fence and clarified sign and buffer placement; the council recorded concerns about traffic and recommended further study if future departures from engineering recommendations are considered.
