THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 3151 SOUTH REDWOOD ROAD ON .9 ACRES AND IS ZONED C-2 (GENERAL COMMERCIAL). (STAFF - JODY KNAPP AT 801-063-3497) Discussion: In Jody Knapp’s absence, Brock Anderson announced that two existing automatic carwash bays will be removed to make room for a tunnel carwash. The existing self-service bay will remain. The tunnel carwash will be quieter than the existing car wash. The blowers will be located away from nearby residences. The carwash will employ 2-3 employees. Proposed hours will be 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. during the summer and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the winter. The Redwood streetscape has already been installed. The existing vacuums will be updated with canopies. Additional vacuums will also be installed. The owner is hoping to commence work in September 2017 and complete in February 2018.

(STAFF - BROCK ANDERSON AT 801-963-3361) Discussion: Brock Anderson indicated two tenant panels will be added to the existing sign on 4100 South, which will increase the height from 20’ to 25’. The owner originally wanted to increase the height of the sign on 5600 West as well, but the increase in height required an increased setback, and there is no room to set it back any farther. C-20-2017 PETITION BY WALMART REQUESTING CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL FOR A FUEL CENTER. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 3180 SOUTH 5600 WEST ON 1.27 ACRES AND IS ZONED C-2 (GENERAL COMMERCIAL). (STAFF - JODY KNAPP AT 801-963-3497) Discussion: Brock Anderson said current landscaping plans show existing trees to be removed. We will clarify that if trees are removed, they will need to be replaced with other trees. The existing pole sign will be modified to show pick- up and gas boards. The height and square footage of the sign will need to be revised to meet City ordinance. A stone wainscot needs to be added to the bottom posts of the fuel canopy. Commissioner Winters does not think left hand turns are safe from this property and recommended right in, right out. Commissioner Meaders asked if there are enough parking spaces for the property. Brandon Hill said there is more space in the back that can be used for parking. Brock Anderson confirmed the ends of the parking islands need to be landscaped. The existing Walmart sign does not meet code, and is too high. Planning Commission Study Session July 5, 2017 Page 4 There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 4:05 p.m. Respectfully submitted, _______________________________________ Brenda Turnblom, Administrative Assistant
