Electronic Meeting
Planning Commission Chairman Statement
In accordance with, Utah Code 52-4-207(4) Open and Public Meeting Act, I have determined that to protect the
health and welfare of Sandy citizens, an in person Planning Commission meeting, including attendance by the
public and the Planning Commission is not practical or prudent.
Considering the continued rise of COVID-19 case counts in Utah, meeting in an anchor location presents
substantial risk to the health and safety of those in attendance because physical distancing measures may be
difficult to maintain in the Sandy City Council Chambers.
The Center for Disease Control states that COVID-19 is easily spread from person to person between people who
are in close contact with one another. The spread is through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs,
sneezes or talks and may be spread by people who are non-symptomatic.
It is my intent to safeguard the lives of Sandy residents, business owners, employees and commission members by
meeting remotely through electronic means without an anchor location.
Community Development staff are hereby authorized and directed to include a copy of the above notice with each
Planning Commission agenda.

Brian McCuistion presented the information that the Planning Commission had asked for
in the previous meeting on December 17, 2020, to the Planning Commission.
Jamie Tsandes asked about the building being taller.
Brian McCuistion explained that the consultants observed that the building itself was
raised higher than the grade. The City surveyor did go out to see if the grades were
correct, but the wall is 10 feet on the resident’s side but is not 10 feet on the 7-11 side.
Ryan Kump further explained that the building being higher than the grade was made by
the consultants and they were implying that they did not consider the grading plan. The
grading plan that was submitted and approved did approve fill on the site for the building,
but the lighting consultant did not include that in the study and the building that was built
does match the plans.
Cameron Duncan asked how much higher the building is versus the wall on the 7-11 side.
Ryan Kump explained that it varies depending on the location, but it is five feet at one
point.
Cameron Duncan clarified that for the headlights coming into the 7-11 site, it is effectively
a five-foot wall.
Ryan Kump said yes.

Planning Commission Meeting Minutes March 4, 2021
Michael Christopherson thanked staff for answering the questions that the Planning
Commission had and the organization of it.
Cameron Duncan asked who the 7-11 representative is.
Brian McCuistion explained that at the previous meeting it was Andrew Hickman and the
franchise owner, but it looks like they are not in attendance.
Michael Christopherson clarified that the Planning Commission already held a public
meeting that included extensive time for public comment. At the last meeting, the
Planning Commission began deliberations and identified some gaps in their
understanding of the facts and tabled this issue to gather more information. He explained
that this meeting’s purpose was to continue the Planning Commission deliberation and to
try and come down to a consensus.
Dave Bromley and Cameron Duncan agreed.
Jen Archuleta, the applicant added that she sent more videos and pictures of the proof
that Andrew Hickman did not keep his word about changing delivery times. They are still
being awakened in the middle of the night and have seen minimal changes since the last
meeting.
Michael Christopherson felt it would be a good idea to look at what items are still on the
table for debate and speculation because the information that staff shared eliminates
some of the fact and do not support the findings on some of the criteria (Section 21-33-6
of Sandy City Code).
The Planning Commission talked through the criteria and determined that criteria 1, 4, 5,
and 7 still applied and 2, 3, and 6 did not.
Monica Collard explained that she went down to the site last night and the homes are
very close to the wall and the store is so bright and that because of the grading she felt
that there was a big impact on the homes.
Dave Bromley asked why the representatives for 7-11 are not in attendance.
Brian McCuistion said he has reached out multiple times but has not received a
response.
Michael Christopherson asked if it is the Planning Commissions role to try and preserve
the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) if mitigation measures can be made before it can be
revoked.
Darien Alcorn explained that it is the same as when someone is asking for a
modification, so if the mitigation measures can be done than it should be changed, or it
can be revoked it if they cannot mitigate the impacts.
Jeff Lovell asked if the CUP can be suspended until mitigation measures are made.
Darien Alcorn said she would need to look further into the code but did not think it could
be suspended.
Jeff Lovell explained that he is concerned that it has been two months since they last
Sandy City, Utah Page 5 Printed on 3/19/2021
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes March 4, 2021
met, and no honest efforts have been made to mitigate any of the impacts and that the
representatives from 7-11 are not in attendance and feels they are not taking this
seriously and they need to protect the residents.
Michael Christopherson explained the code and that a CUP is limited to modification or
revocation, not suspension.
Darien Alcorn explained that the City is also pursuing code enforcement for the violations
of the code regardless of if there was a conditional use permit or not.
James Sorensen agreed and clarified that the code enforcement would deal with the early
morning trash and delivery because it violates the code with or without the conditional
use.
Michael Christopherson believes there are two issues , the first being the trash and
deliveries during all hours of the night and the second being the light and sound
mitigation. He then explained that the Planning Commission made a previous decision
based on a study that did not consider the grade in the light and sound studies.
Dave Bromley explained that the light is a bigger issue than the sound and that it needs
the biggest mitigation.
Michael Christopherson asked how long it would take for the trees to reach maturity and
if a 20-foot wall would be necessary to mitigate the light and sound.
Jamie Tsandes said it would take about 10 years for the trees to reach enough maturity
to mitigate anything.
Cameron Duncan asked if the Planning Commission needed to determine the mitigation
measures or if it should be left to the applicant and 7-11 representatives.
Michael Christopherson explained that he thought the Planning Commission needed to
come up with them because it does not seem the like the 7-11 representatives will.
Cameron Duncan explained that he is frustrated that the representatives are not here
because we cannot discuss mitigation measures with them.
Dave Bromley expressed that he would like to find a way to structure something where
we can identify the mitigation problems and have the solutions developed by the 7-11
group and staff and have them come back for the Planning Commission’s approval and if
that is not achieved by a certain date then it would be revoked.
Michael Christopherson asked how we would include the residents in the mitigation
efforts. In the beginning everyone relied on studies and good faith from the developer that
we are now finding that it was based on a disconnect in the studies and the mitigation
measures are insufficient.
Dave Bromley explained that he thought that if the 7-11 group were given a date to have
some proposed mitigation measures then they could come back to the Planning
Commission to receive public comment and possible approval for the new mitigation
measures. If this doesn’t happen within a specific time frame, then the CUP would be
revoked by the Planning Commission.
Cameron Duncan asked what happens if the mitigation is a 20-foot wall.
Sandy City, Utah Page 6 Printed on 3/19/2021
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes March 4, 2021
Dave Bromley clarified that the residents would be able to respond to the suggested
measures the Planning Commission would make the decision.
Michael Christopherson asked Ryan Kump if a 20-foot wall is a realistic mitigation.
Ryan Kump explained that you need to think about what is the lesser of two evils and
that a 14-foot wall would be more realistic to address the headlight issue but the sound of
the garbage trucks at 5:00 am needs to be delt with no matter what happens with the
wall.
Dave Bromley explained that it should be up to the owners what the mitigation measures
are and see if the neighboring residents are okay with it.
Michael Christopherson agreed that the Planning Commission should not be the body
that comes up with what they need to do but maybe the owner should not be either. He
expressed that the Planning Commission should hear from Jen Archuleta and other
residents to find out what they think would be reasonable mitigation measures. He then
explained that 7-11 said they hardly have customers between midnight and 6:00 am and
so maybe it is not reasonable to build the wall or buy mature conifer trees so maybe it
would be better just to get rid of the 24-hour business hours.
Dave Bromley asked Darien Alcorn if the Planning Commission could revoke the CUP if
certain conditions were not established.
Darien Alcorn explained that it would be because it is the same as not being able to
mitigate the detrimental impacts if there was an inability or unwillingness to meet that
date.
Dave Bromley expressed that he agreed with Jeff Lovell that the residents have been living
with this and that there needs to be some way to reach a decision on this issue and if it
is not done than it needs to be revoked.
Michael Christopherson asked Dave Bromley to clarify because it sounds like Dave is
suggesting that the Planning Commission should make a motion tonight to have the
owners come back at a set date with new mitigation measures for the impacts and if they
do not, then the CUP is revoked.
Dave Bromley said that is correct and that they need to come back to the Planning
Commission so that we can determine if the new measures would mitigate the current
impacts.
Cameron Duncan explained that he liked that thought but has concerns about the cost of
new mitigation measures versus just cutting the business hours but would like 7-11 to be
part of the conversation.
Cameron Duncan asked to hear from Jen Archuleta.
Jen Archuleta, the applicant, expressed that she is annoyed that the 7-11 group is not in
attendance and that it is just one more opportunity to drag this out and now the residents
must deal with the repercussions. She explained that the 7-11 group never rescheduled
the dumpster pickup and delivery times and feels like 7-11 is not taking this seriously and
if the wall is replaced then the residents will have to deal with the dirt falling in their
backyards.
Sandy City, Utah Page 7 Printed on 3/19/2021
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes March 4, 2021
Jeff Lovell expressed that there really is not a good way to mitigate these impacts of the
light and sound given the current circumstances and it might not be cost effective for
them to make the changes, but they are not here to tell us one way or another. He then
asked if they do revoke the CUP, can 7-11 come back with a new request that is able to
mitigate the current detrimental impacts.
Jamie Tsandes agreed and asked if the CUP can be reinstated if it is revoked.
Cameron Duncan excused Monica Collard for the rest of the meeting.
Darien Alcorn explained that generally anyone who is meeting the requirements can have
their applications looked at. A rezone application that has been denied and seeks the
same request does have to wait one year before applying again. A Conditional Use
Permit is not limited to the 1 year waiting period.
Michael Christopherson clarified that nothing the Planning Commission decided tonight
would prevent them from coming back again.
Jamie Tsandes has concerns about the constructability of a 14-foot wall and that the
footings to hold it would be very damaging and is in favor of revoking the CUP. If 7-11
wants to come back with new mitigation measures they can do so.
Jeff Lovell agreed.
Michael Christopherson explained that he understood that the Planning Commission
needs to determine how we are going to reach a conclusion under the four criteria that
still applies and then articulating findings and conclusions under them.
Cameron Duncan agreed.
Darien Alcorn explained that it is appropriate to include findings and conclusions. If the
Planning Commission did not do this now then we would have to come back at a future
meeting to identify and adopt the findings and conclusions.
Michael Christopherson read through the first criteria.
(1) The actual detrimental effects or impacts are greater than anticipated.
Michael Christopherson expressed that he thinks the Planning Commission can support
a finding that the detrimental impacts of the extended hours are significantly greater than
expected. One of those findings is that the studies that they relied on did not take into
account the grading plan.
Cameron Duncan asked if the revocation is for the business hours to go back to 10:00
pm or midnight.
Michael Christopherson asked what the applicant asked for in the application.
Brian McCuistion explained the applicant asked to revoke the 24-hour business hours.
Darien Alcorn explained that it would go back to the permitted hours of 6:00 am to 10:00
pm
Sandy City, Utah Page 8 Printed on 3/19/2021
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes March 4, 2021
Michael Christopherson asked if there are two different conditional use permits.
Brian McCuistion explained that they modified the original conditional use so there is only
one.
Dave Bromley asked why the Planning Commission does not just modify the conditional
use it back to midnight.
Cameron Duncan explained that if we revoke the conditional use permit than we should
consider a complete revocation because it will still be impacting the residents after 10:00
pm when kids and the residents are going to bed.
Michael Christopherson explained that the findings are not limited to midnight to 6:00 am,
the findings are detrimental impacts, and it depends on whether you are making a motion
to fully revoke the conditional use permit.
Cameron Duncan asked if there were other elements to the conditional use permit.
Brain McCuistion said that the conditional use permit also included gas sales.
Michael Christopherson clarified that they could still modify the conditional use permit.
Brian McCuistion said that was correct.
Michael Christopherson asked if everyone agreed to that finding.
Dave Bromley said he agreed to those factorial issues.
Michael Christopherson asked what the conclusions would be.
Dave Bromley explained that a grading plan was not considered for the study that the
Planning Commission relied on in the original approval.
Darien Alcorn clarified that the conclusion is that the actual detrimental effects or impacts
are greater than anticipated, the findings are the facts that lead to that conclusion.
Michael Christopherson explained that the detrimental impacts are that the Planning
Commission relied on the studies to dictate the height of the wall as a sufficient
mitigation measure and it is not being met because of the disconnect of the grading plan,
so the light is shining into the resident’s windows at all hours of the night and is not being
mitigated.
Cameron Duncan agreed.
Dave Bromley clarified that the western residents don’t have a wall and asked if that
should be discussed since they still have impacts that are not being mitigated.
Michael Christopherson said yes and that all the residents among the boundary are being
impacted.
Dave Bromley asked what the Planning Commissions options were.
Darien Alcorn explained that depending on what the criteria is, if the actual detrimental
impacts are greater than you anticipated and those are impacts because the use is
Sandy City, Utah Page 9 Printed on 3/19/2021
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes March 4, 2021
within 250-feet of residential homes.
Michael Christopherson asked if an additional conclusion needs to be made that none of
the impacts can be mitigated because 7-11 does not own the neighboring parcel to
mitigate impacts of residents within the 250-feet.
Brian McCuistion explained that the parcel to the right is owned by Wright Development.
Dave Bromley explained that the entrance is off to the right, so even the parcel to the
west is being impacted even if the wall was able to extend to the west.
Brian McCuistion said that is correct.
Michael Christopherson read criteria 4.
(4) One or more of the conditions of the permit have not been met.
Michael Christopherson expressed that the only finding he found was the trash pick-up
and deliveries are being made outside of what is permitted. That could be mitigated if 7-11
would just comply with the code.
James Sorensen explained that staff is working with Code Enforcement to have them
comply with the code.
Michael Christopherson explained that the Planning Commission asked 7-11 to mitigate
it and they did not, and we asked again, and they still did not, and they have continued to
violate it.
Dave Bromley expressed that the finding is that there is evidence of violation of the
condition.
Cameron Duncan thought the proximity of the store being within 250-feet of the residential
homes that the gas station sales would include the noise from the cars.
Michael Christopherson suggested that the subsequent consultant review undermined
that.
Cameron Duncan explained that 90th south is busy road, but he thinks that the cars
congregating there would not happen there if it was a different use than a gas station.
Michael Christopherson expressed that they just discussed both criteria 4 and 5 and
thinks they should move onto criteria 7.
Jamie Tsandes asked if the CUP is revoked does it take effect immediately.
Dave Bromley said it would be once the minutes are approved.
Michael Christopherson read criteria 7.
(7) One or more of the general standards have not been met.
Michael Christopherson expressed that the finding that was identified is the detrimental
impacts that have been discussed in criteria 1 have exceeded what a permitted use
would result in for these same residents within the 250-feet proximity.
Sandy City, Utah Page 10 Printed on 3/19/2021
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes March 4, 2021
Dave Bromley asked if the Planning Commission has evidence of other hotels (a
permitted use in the zone) that had to apply for CUP because they are within 250 feet of
homes.
Brian McCuistion said he did not think so and that most of the hotels and motels in the
city are in commercial zones.
James Sorensen agreed.
Michael Christopherson explained that the Planning Commission has hypothetically
talked about some possible mitigation measures but do not have the benefit of 7-11’s
input on the cost benefits of those mitigations measures.
Cameron Duncan asked if all these findings and conclusions need to be in the motion.
Michael Christopherson said that it is in the record so it should be fine if we say based on
the discussion.
Jeff Lovell asked if the Planning Commission is thinking of modifying the hours of
operation to midnight or back to 10:00 pm.
Michael Christopherson asked what the Planning Commission thinks about eliminating
the extended hours.
Jeff Lovell is in support to going back to the permitted business hours from 6:00 am to
10:00 pm
Jamie Tsandes agreed.
Dave Bromley and Cameron Duncan both expressed that they could go either way.
Jen Archuleta expressed that she is not above a compromise but thinks that it should go
back to 10:00 pm.
Michael Christopherson said from an appeals perspective, 7-11 could claim that
modifying the hours back to 10:00 pm is a regulatory taking because their business has
been rendered crippled.
Dave Bromley expressed that he leans towards letting them be open to midnight.
Jamie Tsandes explained that 7-11 can always come back to extend their hours again.
Michael Christopherson asked if modifying it 10:00 pm is just kicking this down the road
and if we leave the extended hours to midnight in place then the Planning Commission is
not inviting them back as readily as they would be if they reduced the hours back to
10:00 pm.
The Planning Commission talked through each of the applicable criteria found in 21-33-6
and came up with conclusions and findings. The table below is a condensed version of
the Planning Commission discussion.
1) The actual detrimental effects of impacts are greater than anticipated.
A) Conclusion: The actual detrimental effects or impacts are greater than anticipated.
Sandy City, Utah Page 11 Printed on 3/19/2021
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes March 4, 2021
i) Findings of Fact:
* Planning Commission relied on the studies to dictate the heights of the wall as
a sufficient mitigation measure. This is not being met because of the disconnect of the
grading plan and the previous study. The light is shining into the resident's windows at all
hours of the night and is not being mitigated.
* None of the impacts can be mitigated to the homes west of the boundary wall
because 7-11 does not own the neighboring parcel to mitigate impacts of residents within
the 250-feet.
2) The permit was obtained by misrepresentation or fraud.
A) Conclusion: The permit was not obtained by misrepresentation or fraud.
i) Findings of Fact:
* There was no evidence provided of misrepresentation or fraud.
3) The use for which the permit was granted has now ceased for at least six consecutive
calendar months.
A) Conclusion: The use for which the permit was granted has not ceased for at least
six consecutive calendar months.
i) Findings of Fact:
* There was no evidence provided of discontinuing the use.
4) One or more of the conditions of the permit have not been met.
A) Conclusion: One or more of the conditions of the permit have not been met.
i) Findings of Fact:
* The neighbors have provided evidence that trash pick-up and deliveries are
being made outside of 7:00 am to 10:00 pm.
* 7-11 is aware that this is an issue and they continue to violate the approved
hours of delivery and trash pick-up. No other reasonable mitigation efforts can be made,
especially without 7-11 representation in attendance.
5) The holder or user of the conditional use permit has failed to comply with any City,
State or Federal law governing the conduct of use.
A) Conclusion: The holder or user of the conditional use permit has failed to comply
with any City, State or Federal law governing the conduct of the use.
i) Findings of Fact:
* The neighbors have provided evidence that trash pick-up and deliveries are being
made outside 7:00 am to 10:00 pm.
* 7-11 is aware that this is an issue and they continue to violate the approved
hours of delivery and trash pick-up.
6) The holder or user of the conditional use permit has failed to construct or maintain.
A) Conclusion: The holder or user of the conditional use permit has not failed to
construct or maintain.
i) Findings of Fact:
* There was evidence shown that the construction and maintenance has met the
approved plan.
7) One or more of the general standards have not been met.
A) Conclusion: One or more of the general standards have not been met.
i) Findings of Fact:
* The detrimental impacts that have been discussed in criteria 1 have exceeded
what a permitted use would result in for these same residents within the 250-feet
proximity.
Sandy City, Utah Page 12 Printed on 3/19/2021
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes March 4, 2021
8) As an additional finding, Planning Commission determined whether detrimental
impacts could be mitigated.
A) Conclusion: The only reasonable mitigation effort is to modify the hours of operation
and leave other conditions the same.
i) Findings of Fact:
* Limiting the hours of operation to 6:00 am to midnight would lessen the
detrimental impacts to adjacent residents.
A motion was made by Michael Christopherson, seconded by Jeff Lovell that the
Planning Commission modify the conditional use permit that is subject to this
application to return to the permitted hours of operation from the current 24/7
hours configuration to 6:00 am to midnight based on the finding of facts and
conclusions that have been articulated in the deliberations that took place this
evening and which the Planning Commission directs staff to summarize and
accurately characterize in the meeting minutes.
