Summary of Proceedings

Planning Commission Meeting Summary, January 8, 2026

The Draper City Planning Commission convened on January 8, 2026, to conduct organizational elections for the 2026 term and review three public hearing items. Commissioners unanimously elected Andrew Adams as Chair and Lisa Fowler as Vice Chair. The commission heard presentations and public testimony for two Conditional Use Permit requests and two Map Amendment requests, ultimately approving permits for a home-based salon and a wholesale flooring facility, and forwarding positive recommendations for a boundary line agreement involving three adjacent properties.

Leadership Elections

  • Chair: Andrew Adams was unanimously elected as Chair for 2026 after a motion by Gary and a second by an unnamed member.
  • Vice Chair: Lisa Fowler was unanimously elected as Vice Chair for 2026 after a motion by Susan and a second by Gary.

Consent Calendar

  • The agenda stood as posted with no additional routine items requiring unanimous consent beyond the staff report templates mentioned for approved items.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • England Salon Project: No members of the public commented on the home occupation permit for Kayleen England. Staff clarified that the business involves a hair salon and aesthetic services in a 1.34-acre property, with no retail sales to the public.
  • Western State Flooring: No members of the public commented on the conditional use permit. The applicant, Marshall Peterson, clarified that the facility is a warehouse for storage only; installers pick up materials, and there are no retail sales, adhesives, or chemicals present on-site.
  • Peterson/Gustin Land Use Amendments: No members of the public commented. The applicant, surveyor Dave Johnson, explained the request stems from a family desire to manage land ownership more efficiently and accommodate the growing needs of three neighboring families (including space for recreational facilities like soccer and pickleball).

Discussion Items

  • England Salon Home Occupation (App. 2025-0418): Staff presented the request for a conditional use permit to operate personal care services in an ADU. The applicant confirmed the use involves two distinct rooms (salon and aesthetics) with a single driveway for parking, mitigating traffic and congestion impacts. Commissioners noted the straightforward nature of the proposal and its compliance with standards.
  • Western State Flooring (App. 2025-0184): Staff presented the third CUP request for this facility since the previous year. The use is defined as "limited wholesale and warehousing" with strict conditions prohibiting manufacturing, off-site storage, and vehicles parked for over 12 hours. Commissioners discussed the definition to ensure it does not constitute high-volume distribution and confirmed that no manufacturing or assembly is permitted.
  • Bell, Peterson, and Gustin Map Amendments (Apps. 2024-0408-MA & 2025-0135-MA): Staff detailed a complex request to amend land use and zoning designations for three parcels on Shadow Mountain Lane and East 138th Street. The goal is to facilitate a boundary line agreement that will reduce the land use from RA1 to RA2/R3 to prevent the creation of impractical "flag lots" or land parcels too small for subdivision. Commissioners deliberated on the necessity of these amendments to ensure future lots are developable within the Draper Code.

Key Outcomes

  • England Salon CUP: Motion to approve the Conditional Use Permit as requested by Kayleen England (Application 2025-0418-USE) passed unanimously (5-0). The approval is subject to findings of compliance with Draper Code and conditions in the December 30, 2025 staff report.
  • Western State Flooring CUP: Motion to approve the Conditional Use Permit as requested by Marshall Peterson (Application 2025-0184-USA) passed unanimously (5-0). The approval is subject to findings of compliance with Draper Code Section 9-5-080E and conditions in the December 23, 2025 staff report.
  • Land Use Map Amendment: Motion to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council on the Land Use Map Amendment (Application 2024-0408-MA) passed unanimously (5-0) per six findings of approval.
  • Zoning Map Amendment: Motion to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council on the Zoning Map Amendment (Application 2025-0135-MA) passed unanimously (5-0) per five findings of approval.
  • Other Business: Commissioners were reminded to complete and return annual conflict of interest disclosure forms and confirmed that mandatory training was completed for the fiscal year.
