CABCO 5600 West Condominiums – Amending Lot 1B CABCO 5600 West Subdivision
2514 South 5600 West
M Zone
BACKGROUND:
Adam Maher is requesting a plat amendment to lot 1B of the CABCO 5600 West Subdivision.
This subdivision was recorded with the Salt Lake County Recorder’s Office in November 2015.
The subdivision is located immediately to the north of the Riter Canal and west of 5600 West.
ISSUES:
The proposed plat amendment is being requested in order to establish a condominium for each of
the 4 proposed buildings within the subdivision. The previously recorded plat separated lot 1B
from the other property within the subdivision allowing the condominium development to take
place.
Commercial and Industrial condominiums are not uncommon. According to Mr. Maher, there are
a variety of benefits associated with doing a commercial condominium project. For the property
owner, it is primarily the ability to sell units as opposed to leasing them. For business owners it is
the ability to predict occupancy costs without having to renegotiate their lease every few years.
There is also a sense of pride in ownership that can help keep the entire project viable because of
the interest each owner has in wanting the overall project to succeed. For these reasons, Mr. Maher
would like to amend the subdivision plat.
The existing lot is 1.5 acres in size. Dedication of 5600 West and Anna Caroline Drive was done
as part of the original subdivision application. All conditions of approval related to the original
plat are still in effect with this application.
The subdivision is located within the 5600 West Overlay Zone. As such, future commercial and/or
industrial uses will be subject to increased development standards.
STAFF ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the amended CABCO 5600 West Subdivision Lot 1 Amended Subdivision plat subject
to a resolution of staff concerns.
2. Continue the application for reasons determined in the Planning Commission meeting.
Applicant:
Adam Maher
Discussion: Adam Maher said self-storage was the original intent of this development. The
City wanted a retail overlay. While there is a lot of retail in the area, it is all for lease. Adam
Maher said there is a special niche for owner-occupiers who do not want to lease. CABCO will
fill this niche.

Adam Maher’s first building lasted only one day on the market with a full price offer from a
medical user. CABCO is the only game in town for someone who wants to own their own space.
Each owner may want to change the plan a little bit to suit their needs. However, CABCO does
not plan on creating more units or gross square footage than already shown on the plan.
Commissioner Fuller pointed out that the original plan showed development west of Anna
Caroline. Adam Maher affirmed that once there is access to that area, CABCO will develop a
second phase across the street. Hopefully that happens quickly.
Chair Thomas asked if there will be only commercial tenants, no industrial. Adam Maher
answered that is correct. Adam Maher said an auto parts company, ACE Hardware, and various
medical uses have all shown interest in the property.
Motion: Commissioner Matheson motioned to approve S-26-2015.
Commissioner Fuller seconded the motion.

Redwood Business Center Subdivision
2850 South Redwood Road
C-3 Zone
3 Lots
5 Acres
BACKGROUND
Colby Anderson, representing the property owner, is requesting preliminary and final subdivision
approval for a commercial subdivision in the C-3 Zone. The subject property is located at 2850 South
Redwood Road. It is bordered on the north by Community Nursing Services, the south by vacant land
and the west by the Lake Pointe Office complex.
ISSUES:
The proposed subdivision will consist of 3 lots on just under 5 acres. The applicant is proposing to divide
the property so that each existing building will sit on its own lot. During the study session, a question was
asked about minimum lot size requirements in the C-3 zone. The minimum required is 1 acre, and building
coverage cannot exceed 75% of the lot area. For the proposed subdivision, lot 1 will comprise 1.3 acres
with the existing building covering approximately 33%. Lots 2 and 3 are approximately 1.7 acres in size
West Valley City Planning Commission
December 9, 2015
Page 4
with each existing building covering approximately 43%. The proposed subdivision will allow the land
owner to sell each building independent of each other, which is the ultimate objective of this application.
Access to the subdivision will be gained from Redwood Road. There are two existing access points at the
north and south ends of the property. The subdivision will require a cross access easement over lot 1 in
favor of lots 2 and 3 along with cross parking easements. The existing buildings are used for office,
business and retail purposes. Landscaping is installed along the front and sides of the project and is in
good condition.
During the study session a question was also asked about Granger Hunter Improvement District
requirements. After discussing this matter with GHID, staff learned that they are fine with the proposed
subdivision, but will need documentation from the applicant as to how the water and sewer will be
managed between the potential 3 lot owners. Staff understands that this will be addressed in the CCR’s
that will be prepared for the subdivision.
STAFF ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the Redwood Business Center Subdivision subject to staff a resolution of those items
mentioned in the staff report.
2. Continue the application to address issues raised during the Planning Commission meeting.

West Valley Commercial Retail Center Subdivision – Lot 1 Amended
6200 South 5600 West
C-2 Zone
2 Lots
22.6 Acres
West Valley City Planning Commission
December 9, 2015
Page 5
BACKGROUND
Justin Petersen, representing the property owner, is requesting consideration to amend lot1 of the
West Valley Commercial Retail Center Subdivision. The purpose for the amended plat is to create
an additional building lot within what is part of lot 1. The subject property is located at the corner
of 6200 South and 5600 West and is zoned C-2.
ISSUES:
The West Valley Commercial Retail Center Subdivision was recorded with the Salt Lake County
Recorder’s Office in August 2003. The original subdivision consisted of 5 lots. The proposed
amended subdivision plat will amend lot 1 to create a new building lot.
The newly created lot will be located in the northeast corner of lot 1 and just to the south of an
existing retail building on lot 4. Access to this lot will be gained from both 6200 South and 5600
West. The original subdivision contained various easements for water/sewer, parking and access.
While these easements are still applicable for the amended plat, the applicant is proposing to create
new access easements from both 6200 South and 5600 West that were not defined on the original
subdivision plat.
The applicant will need to coordinate future site improvements and storm water drainage with the
City Engineering Division. Parking spaces being eliminated to make way for the new lot will not
negatively impact the overall parking requirement for the shopping center. There are
approximately 965 existing parking stalls where 730 are required.
STAFF ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the Amendment to lot 1 of the West Valley Commercial Retail Center Subdivision
subject to a resolution of staff concerns noted in the analysis.
2. Continue the application for reasons determined in the Planning Commission meeting.
Applicant:
Justin Petersen, Lochner Engineering

Discussion: Justin Petersen is representing Utah Development of Facilities and Construction
Management. They have secured an access easement with Walmart.

El Pollo Loco
5675 W. Brud Dr.
C-2 Zone (0.46 Acres)
The applicant, Cade Cunningham, is requesting conditional use approval for a fast food with a drive-up
restaurant for property located at 5675 W. Brud Drive. The property is zoned general commercial (C-2)
and the West Valley City General Plan designates this area General Commercial. The surrounding zone
is C-2 on all sides. The surrounding land uses include undeveloped commercial to the north, Walmart to
the south, undeveloped retail pads to the west, and IHOP to the east.
This parcel was developed in 2002 as a Tesoro gas station. The use was abandoned and removed in
2008. At this time, Mr. Cunningham would like to construct an El Pollo Loco fast food restaurant with
drive-thru. The building will be 3,040 square feet and constructed of two-toned stucco with metal
awning accents and a rock wainscot. The building architecture must comply with the Commercial
Design Ordinance. This also includes providing pedestrian connections between this project and the
adjacent uses and sidewalks.
The parcel itself contains 27 parking spaces. The required parking for this use is 35 spaces however,
there is a recorded shared access and parking agreement with the adjacent property so the parking is
adequate for this use.
This parcel has frontage along a High Image Arterial and when this site was originally developed the
berming requirement along Brud Dr. (3100 S.) was modified due to the elevation of the lot and the
adjacent road. A 4’ tall masonry wall with landscaping was installed instead of the berm. That wall and
landscaping have since been removed and are no longer on site. Staff recommends that a 2’ masonry
wall and landscape screening be installed as part of this project. This will also help screen the drive-thru
area. There must also be a minimum of 5 trees along Brud Dr. and a minimum of 15% of the site must
be landscaped.
Signage will be located on the building and a monument sign is proposed for this site as well. The
proposed signage must comply with all the requirements set forth in the West Valley City Sign
Ordinance.
Staff Alternatives:
Approval, subject to the resolution of any issues raised at the public hearing, and the following
conditions:
1. The site shall be developed per the approved plans and in accordance with the West
Valley City Municipal Code.
2. The building and site design must comply with the Commercial Design Standards.
West Valley City Planning Commission
December 9, 2015

3. The landscaping must be installed per the approved plans and in accordance with the
Standards for Landscaping Along High Image Arterials. The berming requirement may
be modified to include a 2’ tall screen wall with landscaping along the north side of the
wall to provide additional screening.
4. There must be adequate parking provided for the proposed tenant mix. All shared parking
and access agreements must be recorded and a copy of those agreements must be
submitted to the City.
5. Signage must comply with the West Valley City Code.
6. All additional requirements of affected departments and agencies must be met.
Continuance, to allow for the resolution of any issues raised at the public hearing.
Applicant:
Cade Cunningham
4139 South Colt Court
Discussion: Cade Cunningham was present, representing Travis Cunningham from El Pollo
Loco. He asked if the existing trees are enough to meet landscaping requirements. Jody Knapp
said landscaping along high image arterials is one tree every 30 feet. There are four existing
trees. She asked that shrubs be added along the wall as per the original plan.
Cade Cunningham asked if only high density shrubbery could be placed on the property, in lieu
of a wall. Chair Thomas said the wall blocks the lights from cars on the property from shining
into traffic on 3100 South. Chair Thomas asked Cade Cunningham if he is aware of the
landscaping requirements surrounding the monument sign. Cade answered yes.
Motion: Commissioner Lovato motioned to approve C-61-2015 subject to the six requirements
listed in the staff report. A 2’ screening wall is required.
Commissioner Fuller seconded the motion.

Manufacturing. Auto sales and service is a conditional use in this zone. The surrounding areas are all
zoned Manufacturing. The General Plan designated this area as Light Manufacturing.
The front half of the parcel was developed in 1971 as a machine shop. In 1975, the back half of the
parcel was developed. Tool Design has operated at the site since 1975. Tool Design will be leasing the
south part of the building to Kaufman Car Sales and Express Tractor Trailer Service.
Kaufman Car Sales is owned by Sied Diglisic and Express Tractor Trailer Service is owned by Larry
Hutchings. They will be located next to each other and each business will occupy 2,100 square feet of
the building for a total of 4,200 square feet. The building is 31,000 square feet.
Kaufaman Car Sales plans on having an inventory of 6-8 cars and they will be stored inside the building.
The cars will be shown by appointment between 12-5 p.m. Monday-Friday. The owner is the only
employee at the business. Express Tractor Trailer Service works on diesel pickup trucks, small box
trucks and cars. They plan on working on three vehicles per week. The operating hours for Express
tractor Trailer is 9-5 p.m. Monday-Friday. The service provided by Express Tractor Trailer Service are:
brakes, turbos, shocks and engine repair. There will be no body work or painting conducted at the site.
Repairing of vehicles will only be allowed inside the building.
The site has the required landscaping and the landscaping is maintained. The site does have some
outside storage which is allowed. The whole site is fenced and screened for outside storage and the site
is completely paved. The fence does have some broken slats that need to be replaced.
There are currently 20 parking spaces which was sufficient for the existing business. With adding auto
sales and auto repair to the site, the applicant will need to add eight more parking spaces. The eight new
parking stalls need to be striped and must follow the approved site plan. All parking stalls need to
remain clear of outside storage and must be used for customer and employee parking.
The applicant will be using the building as it is currently configured. When signage is added, a sign
permit must be obtained and all signage must meet the West Valley City Sign Ordinance.

Verizon Wireless
2851 S. Redwood Rd.
C-2 Zone (.71 Acres)
Verizon Wireless is requesting a conditional use for the construction of a roof mounted small cell
antenna at 2851 S. Redwood Rd. This property is zoned C-2, General Commercial and the West Valley
City General Plan designates this area as Mixed Use. The surrounding zones include General
Commercial (C-2) to the north and south, R-1-6 to the east and Manufacturing to the west across
Redwood Road. The surrounding uses include vacant property to the north, single family residential to
the east, a restaurant and tire service center to the south and the US Army Recruiting Station to the west
across Redwood Road.
Verizon Wireless would like to install one roof mounted 2’ canister antenna on top of the existing
building at the Car Care Center. The equipment is 4’ tall as measured from the top of the parapet wall
(6’ from roof deck). The antenna is set back 11’-3” from the exterior wall on the north and west side of
the building. This location complies with the standards set forth is section 7-23-206 of the WVC
Municipal Code.
Verizon Wireless has proposed to paint the antenna to match the building. They request to not add any
screen type structure around the antenna and feel that the screening will be more visually intrusive than
the antenna alone. The equipment cabinet will be located on top of the building and will be completely
screened behind the existing parapet wall. A generator is not proposed for this site.
Staff Alternatives:
• Approval, subject to the resolution of any issues raised at the public hearing and the following
conditions:
1. The antenna shall be painted to match the colors of the existing building and be installed
per the approved plans and in accordance with Chapter 7-23 of the WVC Municipal
Code.
2. The equipment cabinet shall be located on top of the roof and screened behind the
existing parapet wall.
3. Must comply with all other relevant requirements set forth from applicable department
and agencies.
• Continuance, to allow for the resolution of any issues raised at the public hearing.

Discussion: Pete Simmons said this is the fourth cell antenna Verizon will place within the City.
Three more cell antennas will come before the Planning Commission in the future. Verizon’s RF
Engineers have worked with the City to shorten the design of the antenna so most of it can be
hidden behind the parapet wall.
Commissioner Matheson asked if the weight of the cabinet will necessitate an add load
calculation for the roof. Pete Simmons confirmed that Verizon does structural calculations as
part of the building permit application that will be submitted. Chair Thomas asked if there has
been a problem with vandalism of equipment on the ground. Pete Simons said they have not yet
been installed, so we will have to see.

Lodestone Park Monument Sign
6252 W 6200 S
A Zone (53.82 Acres)
The applicant, Angelo Calacino with Salt Lake County Parks & Recreation, is requesting conditional
use approval for a monument sign with bonus sign height and area. The zoning for the property is A,
Agriculture. The surrounding zoning is single family residential, manufacturing and agriculture. The
property is bordered by single family homes located in Kearns to the north and east, the Diamond
Summit Subdivision to the south, and the Mountain View Corridor to the West.
Salt Lake County Parks & Recreation is proposing to construct a monument sign for a new regional
park. The sign for Lodestone Park would be located next to the main entrance of the park on 6200
South. The park has about 1,800 feet of frontage along this road, which per Title 11, would allow up to
9 monument signs.
In an agricultural zone a monument sign is limited to 5 feet in height and 50 sq. ft. in sign area. The
County has standard signage they install at their regional parks, and their proposed sign would be 8 ½
feet tall. The area of the sign containing signage is about 65 sq. ft. Bonus sign height and area can be
granted by the Planning Commission through the Conditional Use process.
11-4-11(1)(g) An applicant may submit an alternative sign plan or design for unique and special
circumstances, provided such sign(s) achieves the intent of the above standards and this
Ordinance.
Staff believes the proposed sign meets the intent of the sign ordinance. Rather than having multiple
signs, 5’ tall and 50 sq. ft., along 6200 South, which would be allowed per the code without any special
approval from the Planning Commission, Salt Lake County is proposing to have one, larger sign. Title
11 requires that the setback for monument signs be at least equal to the sign height. The 8 ½ foot tall
Lodestone Park sign will be setback about 20 feet from the property line. It will be located in a large
landscaped area, much larger than the 130 sq. ft. area that would be required by ordinance. The
landscaping will include a variety of trees, shrubs, perennials and ground cover.
Staff Alternatives:
Approval, subject to the resolution of any concerns raised at the public hearing, as well as the following
conditions:
1. The sign shall be constructed per the approved sign and landscape plans.
2. A building permit must be issued for the sign.
Continuance, for reasons determined at the hearing.

Discussion: Angelo Calacino explained that the County has developed a new sign standard for
all County parks. This sign will be classified for regional parks of which Lodestone Park is one
of many. The County is hoping to have the sign in place when Phase II of the park is completed
sometime within June of next year. Looking at an aerial view of the property, Angelo showed
where some park features are currently under construction. These include a large pavilion and
restroom, a destination playground with a mining theme (because the copper mine is visible from
the park), pickle ball, tennis, and basketball courts to the south. A perimeter path will tie into the
Mountain View Corridor
Chair Thomas asked if it is the County’s intent that children play on the sign. Angelo Calacino
said most likely children will play on the sign. The sign will be constructed of concrete and
metal, almost “bomb proof”. Chair Thomas said the sign is almost inviting for children to play
on, and she doesn’t mind that. However, she is concerned about the planting around the sign
being trampled. Angelo Calacino said the County must deal with tree breakage, tagging of
equipment, and burning of signs. Chair Thomas looks forward to seeing the new sign.

Commissioners for making the City better. Chair Thomas said City staff goes above and beyond
when answering questions, concerns, or complaints. City staff are patient in explaining
ordinances and dealing with citizenry. Steve Pastorik is trustworthy and has a wonderful
department that often goes unnoticed by the City. Planning and economic development is
behind the scenes, yet is at the heart of what we do within the City. Steve Pastorik and his staff
are doing a tremendous job!
Steve Pastorik, on behalf of City staff, thanked Chair Thomas for her many years of dedicated
service to the City. She served 13 years on the Planning Commission and 12 years on the City
Council. She has done an excellent job serving as Chair and runs the meetings in a professional
way. She will be missed!
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 4:51 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
