Application #: Z-1-2025
Applicant: Eric Nguyen
Address:3001 W 4100 S
Request: Zone change from A to RM, 1.53 acres
Eric Nguyen has submitted a zone change application on a 1.53-acre parcel located at 3001 W
4100 S. The current zoning is A (Agricultural, minimum lot size ½ acre) and the requested zoning
is RM (Multiple Unit Dwelling Residential). The General Plan designation on the property is
Medium Density Residential (7 to 12 units/acre).
Surrounding zones include R-1-8 (Single Unit Dwelling Residential, minimum lot size 8,000
square feet) to the north and south, A and R-1-8 to the east, and R-2-8 (Two Unit Dwelling
Residential, minimum lot size 8,000 square feet) and A to the west. Neighboring uses include
single family homes to the north, east, and south and the Sunnybrook Park Condos and Valley Jr.
High School to the west. The property includes a home that, according to Salt Lake County, was
built in 1940, a detached garage, and three other outbuildings.
Minutes of Planning Commission Public Hearing April 23, 2025
Page 1 of 14
The applicant is proposing to retain the existing home, demolish the existing detached buildings,
build a new garage for the existing home, and construct a 14-unit, two-story, for-rent townhome
development. The proposed density of the project including the existing home is 9.8 units/acre.
All townhome units would face the perimeter of the property and each unit would include a 2-car
garage and 4 bedrooms. All garages have driveways that are deep enough to park in. The attached
concept plan and application materials from the applicant provide details on and support for the
proposed project.
In reviewing this application, staff suggests that there are two primary questions to answer:
1. Is this the right location for a townhome development?
2. Assuming the location is appropriate, does the quality of the project further City goals?
These two questions are explored below.
Is this the right location for a townhome development?
According to the City’s zoning ordinance, zone changes to the RM zone can only be considered
by the City if the following four conditions are met:
1. For properties without existing Structures which are proposed to be developed, the property
must be a minimum of one acre and the Density must not exceed 12 units per acre. For properties
with existing Structures proposed to be redeveloped, the property must be a minimum of 20,000
square feet and the Density must not exceed 20 units per acre. For properties that are west of
Redwood Road and within one-half mile of the West Valley Central light rail station, the Decker
Lake light rail station or the Redwood Junction light rail station, the Density may exceed 20 units
per acre;
2. The property shall meet any one of the following four requirements: (i) have access and
Frontage on a Street with a planned Right-of-way width of at least 80 feet (for properties under
two acres) or 100 feet (for properties two acres or larger) as indicated on the Major Street Plan;
(ii) be adjacent to existing multifamily residential development on two sides; or (iii) be located
west of Redwood Road and within one-half mile of the West Valley Central light rail station, the
Decker Lake light rail station, or the Redwood Junction light rail station; or (iv) if the property is
vacant, was vacant as of January 19, 2021, will be an exempt housing development under 24 CFR
100.304 or successor regulation with a density no greater than seven units per acre, and have
access and Frontage on a Street with a planned Right-of-way width of at least 80 feet;
3. A Development Agreement must be proposed with the zone change application that addresses
Dwelling Unit sizes, exterior materials, architecture, Landscaping, and project Amenities; and
4. A traffic impact study prepared by a registered traffic engineer is required for projects with
100 or more Dwelling Units.
Minutes of Planning Commission Public Hearing April 23, 2025
Page 2 of 14
This application meets the first condition in that the property has existing structures, is over
20,000 square feet in area, and has a proposed density below 20 units/acre. For the second
condition, the subject property has access and frontage on 4100 S, which has a planned right-of-
way width over 100’ at this location. On the third condition, the applicant has proposed
development agreement standards and those standards are addressed later in this report. The
fourth condition does not apply because the project is under 100 units.
While the property is eligible for RM zoning, the City may still deny requests for RM zoning.
The points below may help the Commission answer the first question.
• There are five existing multi-family developments (apartments, townhomes, and condos) that
front or have access on 4100 S within the City – Boulder Pines Apartments at 1535 W 4100 S,
Sage Valley Apartments and Townhomes at 1812 W 4100 S, Sunnybrook Park Condos at 3121 W
4100 S, Village Green Apartments and Townhomes at 4150 S 4000 W, and Aspenwood
Apartments at 4139 S 4080 W.
• This section of 4100 S is currently a 5-lane arterial street that is serviced by UTA bus routes 47
and F232.
• Average annual daily traffic (AADT) on this segment of 4100 S was 29,000 in 2023. A 5-lane
arterial can handle a traffic volume of 26,500 at a level of service (LOS) C and 30,500 at a LOS
D.
Does the quality of the project further City goals?
City Code requires requests for the RM zone to be accompanied by a development agreement
proposal that addresses dwelling unit sizes, exterior materials, architecture, landscaping, and
project amenities. These items, along with other considerations, are addressed below.
Dwelling Unit Sizes
In the zoning ordinance, the minimum unit size for 4-bedroom townhomes is 1,700 square feet.
The proposed townhomes are 1,700 square feet.
Exterior Materials
For materials, the City’s multi-unit residential design standards state: “All multi-unit residential
Building exteriors shall be brick, stucco, stone, tile, metal panels or fiber cement siding. With the
exception of brick or stone which may be used on the entire Building exterior, no single material
shall comprise more than 60 percent of a Building’s exterior. Where stucco, tile, metal panels or
fiber cement siding are used, at least 20 percent of the Building’s exterior shall be brick or stone.
Wood and vinyl may be used as trim, soffits and/or accent materials only.”
The applicant is proposing a combination of stone and fiber cement siding. According to the
applicant, the percentage of brick meets the 20% requirement. While the fiber cement siding
exceeds the 60% rule, there could be a variety in color and a mixture of horizontal and vertical
application, and the City has granted an exception in such cases.

Architecture
Based on a preliminary review of the proposed building architecture by staff, the proposed units
fall short of the City’s multi-unit residential design standards in the following areas:
• The ordinance requires primary façades (i.e. building fronts) to include at least two of the relief
treatments from the ordinance used at least once per dwelling unit. Currently, there is only one
relief treatment in the use of balconies. The applicant is proposing to add a box window for the
office on the main level.
• The ordinance requires three window treatments with at least two window treatments per
window on the front of buildings. Based on staff review, two treatments – varying the size and/or
style of windows and window grids – were identified.
Landscaping
The ordinance requires a total of 50% landscaping and recreation space. The applicant’s concept
shows 52.4%.
Project Amenities
For a project of this size, the ordinance requires one amenity. The applicant is proposing to
include either a sports court or covered pavilion.
Garages/Parking
The ordinance requires all townhome units to include a 2-car garage. The overall parking
requirement for townhomes is 4.75 with 2 in a garage, 2 in a driveway, and an additional 0.75
within the project. All of the units meet the 4.75 stall requirement.
Other Considerations
Staff suggested that posts be added below the balconies to make them look more like a covered
porch. The applicant was comfortable with adding this feature.
The City’s Public Works Department is recommending that the developer incorporate a parkstrip
along 4100 S similar to the property to the west. The applicant has agreed to this so, staff is
recommending that this provision be addressed in the development agreement.
During the study meeting, Commissioner Durfee asked if the units would be considered an R2
Occupancy, which is a building code reference. Staff checked with our Chief Building Official
and received the following response:
“I have reviewed the proposed preliminary residential project to be located at 3001 West 4100
South. Pursuant to IBC Chapters 1 and 3 (and respective IRC sections), and my duties as the
Chief Building Official, I would interpret and classify this as an R2 Occupancy, as currently
configured and submitted to the WVC Planning Commission.
Specifically, the second level is configured as a dormitory or congregate residence. The elements
or features (bathrooms, family room, etc.) of the building are shared by all the residents, with the
exception for the individual private bedrooms. In Context, the International Building Code
Minutes of Planning Commission Public Hearing April 23, 2025
Page 4 of 14
defines a congregate residence as “A building or part thereof that contains sleeping units where
residents share bathroom or kitchen facilities, or both.” It also defines Residential Group R-2
occupancies as “containing sleeping units or more than two dwelling units where the occupants
are primarily permanent in nature… including… Congregate Residences.”
Lastly, an R2 Occupancy would be required to be constructed according to the International
Building Code and is NOT the same as a Single-Family Dwelling, a Two-Family Dwelling, or a
Townhouse constructed under the provisions of the International Residential Code.”
Given this feedback from our Chief Building Official, staff would suggest that the second level
floor plan be modified by incorporating one of the bathrooms into one of the bedrooms so that the
bathroom is only accessible from the bedroom and not the shared family room.
Staff Alternatives:
1. Approval. This zone change application should be approved subject to a development agreement
that incorporates the standards proposed by the applicant along with the following additions
recommended by staff:
a. The developer shall install a 5’ parkstrip along 4100 South and replace the existing sidewalk.
b. The second level floor plan shall be modified by incorporating one of the bathrooms into one
of the bedrooms so that the bathroom is only accessible from the bedroom and not the shared
family room.
c. All of the Multi-Unit Residential Design Standard in the City’s Zoning Ordinance shall
apply. This means that the elevations will need to be modified. As part of the conditional use
review by the Planning Commission, the Commission may allow more than 60% of the
exterior to fiber cement siding if different colors and textures of fiber cement siding are used.
2. Continuance. This application should be continued for reasons determined during the public
hearing.
3. Denial. This application should be denied.
Discussion: Steve Pastorik presented.
The applicant, Eric Nguyen, was present. He clarified his intention to rent entire units to families
rather than individual rooms. He addressed the Commissioners’ concerns about property
maintenance, remodeling the existing house, and fencing the property; expressing willingness to
address these issues if the project is approved. Commissioner Drozdek asked him what amenities
would be available. Eric responded with pickleball or a pavilion.
Mike Markum, on Alice Way, is opposed to changing the zoning to multi-family, arguing that the
area is predominantly single-family homes, and that multi-family housing would not fit the
neighborhood character.
Minutes of Planning Commission Public Hearing April 23, 2025
Page 5 of 14
Some Commissioners expressed concerns about the architectural design and height of the
proposed buildings, which were described as boxy and out of character with the surrounding area.
The Commission considered whether to recommend approval or denial, noting that if they
recommend denial, the applicant will need to appeal to the City Council. Commissioner Winters
asked what the density of the surrounding multi-family homes are in the area. Steve answered
that the project's density would be 9.8 units per acre and is slightly lower than the neighboring
property to the west of 10.9 units per acre.
Motion: Commissioner Winters motioned to continue Z-1-2025 to the May 28, 2025 Public
Hearing, for requested improvements to the elevations. Commissioner Matagi seconded. A roll
call vote was taken, and 5 Commissioners were in favor of the motion.

MAJORITY--Z-1-2025— APPROVED
Application #: ZT-2-2025
Applicant: Granite Credit Union
Request: An ordinance text change request to amend section 7-2-112 of the West Valley City
Municipal Code to permit a Mobile Financial Institution as a Temporary Use
The applicant submits this request based off the following considerations:
1. Continuity of Financial Services: When a financial institution undergoes remodeling or
reconstruction, community members who rely on in-person banking services may experience
significant disruption. Allowing a financial mobile branch ensures uninterrupted access to
essential banking services, such as deposits, withdrawals, loans, and financial counseling.
2. Alignment with Existing Temporary Land Use Permits: The ordinance already permits mobile
medical units and temporary structures for construction and sales offices. Financial mobile
branches serve a similar public benefit by maintaining community access to critical financial
resources during construction.
3. Economic and Community Stability: Access to financial services plays a vital role in
maintaining economic stability for individuals and small businesses. Allowing temporary
mobile branches helps customers avoid financial hardship by ensuring they can continue
managing their banking needs locally.
Minutes of Planning Commission Public Hearing April 23, 2025
Page 6 of 14
4. Regulated and Temporary Use: The proposed amendment maintains reasonable land-use
regulations by requiring financial mobile branch permits to be renewed every six months while
construction is ongoing, ensuring they remain temporary and are not used indefinitely.
Proposed Language:
7-2-112 TEMPORARY LAND USES
(3) Temporary Land Uses Permitted. Only the following Uses are permitted as Temporary
Land Uses:
f. Mobile Financial Institution in accordance with the following:
i. Shall be limited to sites in conjunction with a remodel or construction of a
permanent financial institution and shall be renewed every six (6) months.
ii. A mobile financial institution may operate at a strategic partnership under a
formal agreement, business, to provide financial services no more than two (2)
times per week. The branch will use dedicated parking spaces provided by the
business partner, will not remain on-site overnight, and will operate for no more
than eight (8) hours per day.
Staff Alternatives:
1. Approval. The ordinance should be approved as proposed by staff.
2. Continuance, to allow for the resolution of any issues raised at the public hearing or to allow
time for the applicant to revise the proposed regulations in the ordinance amendment.
3. Denial, the current Ordinance requirements are adequate and this amendment is not
appropriate at this time.
Discussion: Jody Knapp presented two text additions to the Code: one for temporary use during
construction or remodeling of permanent financial institutions, renewable every six months; and
another for strategic partnerships allowing operation up to twice a week with specific restrictions.
The commission recommended adding an annual renewal requirement for the second option.
The applicants, Cindy Clark and Mary Woodard were present and explained the mobile branch's
security features and their plans to increase visibility in West Valley.
Motion: Commissioner Durfee motioned to approve ZT-2-2025 with the addition of “The permit
shall be renewed every twelve (12) months.” for the second option of 7-2-112 (3) (f) (ii).
Commissioner Winters seconded. A voice vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously.

Iron Workers Local 27 Subdivision
Minutes of Planning Commission Public Hearing April 23, 2025
Page 7 of 14
7022 West SR-201 North Frontage Road2 Lots
2 Lots, 3.11 Acres, M Zoning
Background:
Jeremiah Larson, representing the property owner, is requesting preliminary approval for the Iron
Worker’s Local 27 Subdivision. The subdivision will consist of 2 lots on 3.11 acres and is
located in the manufacturing zone north of the SR-201North Frontage Road.
Staff/Agency Comments:
Magna Water District:
• Project will need to run availability for water, sewer and fire protection.
• Subject to design and review inspections.
• Will need to coordinate services and agreements regarding services for the flag lot.
Utility Agencies:
• Subject to all standard easement locations.
Public Works:
• Authorization required of ditch/water users for any abandonment, relocation, piping or any other
modifications to existing ditches or irrigation structures.
• Revisions to plat are required.
• Will need to dedicate an additional 5 feet along SR-201 North Frontage Road.
• A delay agreement will need to be approved the City Council for street improvements. This
will need to be addressed as the subdivision moves through the process.
Fire Department:
• Development of the flag lot will require some type of turnaround for fire apparatus and
emergency vehicles.
Issues:
• The proposed subdivision is being requested to divide an existing parcel into two lots, one
of which will be a flag lot. Lot one, where the existing building is located, will be
approximately 1.35 acres in size, with the new lot being 1.75 acres in size.
• Access to the subdivision will be gained from the SR-201 North Frontage Road which is
presently used for access to the Iron Workers. It is anticipated the City will be doing a
future improvement project on said right-of-way. The developer, as part of the subdivision
plat will need to dedicate an additional 5 feet of right-of-way. Future improvements will be
installed by the City.
• For the improvements, the City will require a delay agreement that would simply postpone
Minutes of Planning Commission Public Hearing April 23, 2025
Page 8 of 14
improvements until such time the City begins work. The City has a number of delay
agreements for other properties in this general area. The Engineering Division will work
with the developer to get this in place prior to plat recordation.
• Access to both lots will be via a flag lot design. The access drive will be part of lot 2, with
lot 1 having an access easement across the stem. Maintenance of the drive access will be
shared between both properties.
• At a future date, staff will review either conditional use and/or permitted use applications.
At that time, staff and agency comments will be more thoroughly addressed as part of the
site plan review process. The subdivision plat will contain easements and other information
applicable to the division of property.
• During the study session, a question was asked about landscaping along the frontage of the
SR-201 North Frontage Road. The City reviewed a site plan in 2004 which indicated
landscaping would be installed along the frontage of the property. While this will not be
a condition of approval for the subdivision, the City will follow up with this requirement.
Most likely at the time improvements along the frontage road are installed as previously
mentioned in this report.
Staff Alternatives:
A. Grant preliminary subdivision approval for the Iron Worker’s Local 27 Subdivision subject to
the following conditions:
1. That compliance be made with Magna Water District regarding water line extensions,
sewer connections and fire protection.
2. That the subdivision name be approved by Salt Lake County.
3. That the developer dedicate an additional 5 feet of right-of-way for improvements along the
SR-201 North Frontage Road. A delay agreement will be required for future improvements.
This will be addressed by the City Engineering Division as the project moves forward and
prior to plat recordation.
4. That the developer resolve all staff and agency concerns.
B. Continuation to address issues raised during the public hearing.
Discussion: Steve L. presented. The applicant, Jeremiah Larson, was present. There were no questions
or concerns.
Motion: Commissioner Woodruff motioned to approve SMI-2-2025 subject to conditions (1) through
(4). Commissioner Durfee seconded. A voice vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously.

Apex Wraps/Wasatch Fleet Service Expansion
2296 S. 5600 W.
M Zone (.90 acres, 4.3 Acres Total)
The applicant, Guy Williams with Fawkes Consultants representing Apex Wraps, is requesting
conditional approval for a vehicle wrap and design business. This is an expansion Wasatch Fleet
that is a commercial vehicle upfit facility. This property is zoned M, Manufacturing and is located
within the 5600 West Overlay Zone. The West Valley City General Plan designates this area as
Light Manufacturing. The surrounding zone is LI to the north, south and west. The zoning is M,
manufacturing to the east across 5600 West. The surrounding uses include salvage yard type
businesses to the west, and south, vacant UDOT property to the north and the Warner Truck
Center to the east.
Wasatch Fleet received conditional use approval for their main facility at 2265 S. 5650 W. in
2019 (C-12-2019). The business sells and installs truck and van racks, truck flatbeds, snowplows,
custom van interiors, service truck bodies and lift gates. Office uses and vehicle sales are also
conducted from the site. The site was modified and expanded in 2020 (CA-4-2020) and then
again in 2023 (PR-15-23 – parking lot). This next phase of expansion is for Apex Wraps to
redevelop the south lot at 2296 S. 5600 W., which was previously occupied by Code Fabrication.
This parcel was rezoned from LI, Light Industrial to M, Manufacturing in 2024 (Z-1-24) subject
to a Development Agreement. The roadway to the west, Clifford Street/5660 West, was also
recently vacated and is now part of this project area. (SV-1-24).
The site will be developed to provide access and shared parking between all the uses. There will
be no outside storage in this phase. The onsite landscape areas will be modified and completed
per the Development Agreement. The 5600 West Streetscape, which includes a 15’ landscaped
area, a 6’ sidewalk and a 9’ landscaped area with decorative street lighting, will also be completed
along the entire frontage.
The existing blue building on site will remain and be expanded and remodeled to comply with the
development agreement and includes architectural metal panels/siding that is used only as a
veneer and not as structural sheeting or sheathing;
As outlined in the Development Agreement, a Certificate of Occupancy shall not be granted for
the expansion and remodel of this south building until all of the on-site and off-site improvements
required in the Development Agreement and City ordinance are completed.
Staff Alternatives:
Approval, subject to the resolution of any concerns raised at the public hearing as well as the
following:
1. Must comply with the requirements in the Development Agreement.
Minutes of Planning Commission Public Hearing April 23, 2025

201 Commerce Center – Buildings #1-4
4387 West 2100 South
M Zone (32.45 Acres)
The applicant, Steve Layton with Integrated Developers, is requesting a conditional use for four
(4) office/warehouse buildings at 4387 West 2100 South. This property is zoned M,
Manufacturing, and the West Valley City General Plan designates this area as Light
Manufacturing.
This project is part of the 78 acre 201 Commerce Center project. When this project was initially
approved in 2008 (C-36-2008) the design included 19 buildings of various sizes with a total
square footage of 1,189,256. The applicant would like to take what was originally proposed as 7
buildings and construct 4 larger buildings and a 1.7 acre park area. This same request was
originally approved under CA-1-2021, however that application has since expired. The
subdivision for this phase of the development is being reviewed under PUD-1-2021.
Minutes of Planning Commission Public Hearing April 23, 2025
Page 11 of 14
The buildings will be constructed to match the existing buildings on site (5, 6 and 7). They will be
tilt up concrete panel construction painted three colors that are used to create a wainscot and
column appearance along all sides of the buildings. The office portions are enhanced with large
windows, relief in the roof line and architectural awning features above the entrances. This
facility is not required to meet the Commercial Design Standards due to the use being limited to a
manufacturing zone.
The general breakdown of the uses includes approximately 20% office uses and 80% warehouse.
The uses will be monitored as building permits and business licenses are submitted so the parking
will be evaluated periodically to ensure that the site is in compliance with the ratio of uses.
The landscaping required on site is 5% and the applicant has provided 9.7%. All areas that are
considered landscaping must have a minimum of 50% live plant material. As discussed in the
PUD process the applicant has asked for some relief in the roadway cross section and setbacks
along 4400 West and 2250 South. This will help accommodate the larger building footprints. As
part of that request a 1.7 acre park will be constructed. This area will be used for detention but
will also include walking paths, picnic areas and an activity court.
The east edge of the site along Commerce Center Drive includes a grass swale with a 2’ wide
concrete gutter, a shrub row to screen the parking and trees planted every 30. This design was part
of the original approval for the overall center for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design) requirements in the storm water category. The north side has frontage along 2100 South,
which is a High Image Arterial. The setback in that area will be bermed with a shrub row and
trees planted every 30’.
The sidewalk design for this entire phase is still being coordinated with Public Works to ensure
street crossings are safe and that the connectivity makes sense for the proposed ROW cross
sections. This also includes sidewalks along 2100 South.
Signage was reviewed with the previous overall project submittal as well as with the Agreement
for Disposition of Land (ADL) with the City Council. The approval included wall signage for the
buildings, monument style directory signs throughout the site and one pole/development sign on
the 2100 South frontage. All signage shall comply with the requirements set forth in the Sign
Ordinance and require a building permit.
A lighting plan must be submitted that complies with the standards set forth in the West Valley
City Code. Several dumpsters are located throughout this area and they will all be secured within
a 6’ masonry enclosure and additional landscaping has been proposed around these facilities to
help further screen them from view. Any mechanical equipment proposed on site or on the
building shall also be properly screened from view per the standards set forth in the City Code.
Staff Alternatives:
Approval, subject to the resolution of any issues raised at the public hearing and the following
conditions:
