The next item that we have for um up on the agenda is a uh an application for a conditional use permit on behalf of Devin Garcia, a conditional use permit request to install a fence in the front yard area that is taller than four feet on approximately 0.4 acres located at 373 East Draper Downs Drive, known as application 2025-0256-USC.

Staff contact is Nick Whitaker.

Nick, the time is yours.

Thank you.

Um this is the Devon uh Garcia Fence Conditional Use Permit.

Oh, we have a okay.

The mouse is okay.

So here's the vicinity map of the subject property here in the center.

Oh boy.

Let's see.

Sorry, the mouse again is very sensitive.

Ah, thank you.

All right, here's an aerial map of the property.

As you can see, it's in a very residential area, just regular residential neighborhood.

Land use map.

The uh land use designation for the property is uh residential medium density.

And the um zoning designated pardon me, the zoning designation is R3.

So here's the overview of the request.

Um the installation of a six-foot tall fence that extends into the front yard area by four feet.

The purpose of the fence is to provide privacy for the backyard pool.

The fence will be made of brick.

Um per Draper City Municipal Code, subsection 927 uh dash, or I'm sorry, nine-27-080A.

Um a fence, wall, or other visual obstruction, excluding trees shall comply with the following when located within the required front yard, a fence, wall, or other visual obstruction, not including trees, shall not exceed four feet in height unless a greater height is allowed by a conditional use permit or is otherwise permitted in this title.

So here's the site plan that was provided by the applicant.

Um what they're proposing uh is a six-foot tall fence that extends about four feet from the front yard plane, which would be right here.

So it comes out four feet and then goes to the uh east of the property.

It's about a 15 foot span right there.

And this was provided by the applicant.

These are the materials and concept art of um of the uh project.

The materials are a black brick, and this is the concept art here, how it would look impact analysis and mitigation.

Yeah, uh identified potential impacts would be minor impacts to visibility of pedestrians use life utilizing the adjacent sidewalk.

The proposed mitigation is that all requirements of Draper City uh engineering, building, and planning divisions are satisfied throughout the construction of the fence, including permitting, and that the fencing shall not exceed six feet in height and shall be constructed only in the locations indicated on the approved site plan, which would mean no further than four feet into the front yard plane.

And here's an exterior photo of the property.

Right here is where the fence will come out.

Uh questions or comments.

Okay, commissioners, do you guys have any questions for staff?

Okay, no questions for staff.

Um, is the applicant here?

Would you like to address, come up and address us and maybe give us a little more color about this project?

Sure.

Hopefully, this there we go.

Um, yeah, so I've actually been in Draper for 25 years, so um long standing resident.

I was the one that originally created the home.

So there's been a vinyl fence around the back of the yard, have a dog.

Um, really just trying to improve the outside aesthetic of the house.

So it's 25 years old.

Uh it was a spec home, and so the building materials and other items were not necessarily long lasting.

And so what we're trying to do, I kind of made the decision I'm gonna live there for the rest of my life.

And so I'd like to start to make some renovations and to try to upgrade it a little bit, one of which is the fence.

So, really kind of changing from a vinyl fence to a brick fence and moving it a little bit forward uh so that you can access the yard going this direction instead of that direction.

So um still sits back about 18 feet from the sidewalk.

Can you give us your name, please?

Devin Garcia.

Okay, sorry, Devin, I didn't ask you for that.

No problem.

Okay.

Uh commissioners, do you guys have any other questions on this?

No.

Okay, great, perfect.

Do we have public comment on this, Todd?

Yeah.

Okay, so we'd like to uh you will you can sit down.

Okay, thank you.

Appreciate it.

Is there anyone here to address this agenda item?

Doesn't look like that.

So with that, we will close the public comment portion.

Um commissioners, you guys know what you want to do on this one.

Seems pretty straightforward.

If we don't have any further discussion or questions, I can make a motion.

Okay, Kendra, go ahead.

I move that we approve the conditional use permit as requested by Devin Garcia, application 2025-0256-USE based on the findings for approval and subject to the conditions listed in the staff report dated February 2nd, 2026.

And that would include the one finding that um approval is found based on DMCM DCMC section 95-080E, and all potential net negative impacts are mitigated through the imposition of reasonable conditions.

Okay, perfect.

Thank you, Kendra.

Do I have a second?

I'll second that.

Okay, Lara, thank you.

Um, Kendra, how do you vote?

Yes.

Laura, how do you vote?

Yes.

Mary, how do you vote?

Yes.

Kristen, how do you vote?

Christine versus the case.

Kristine, excuse me.

Sorry.

And I vote yes.

So it passes.

Thank you for coming in.

Good luck.

The renderings look really good.

That'll look that'll look like a really good property.

So I hope it turns out as good as the drawer made.

Yeah, it looks good.

So good luck with that.

Thank you very much.

Okay.

The next item we have on the agenda is for a uh plan uh site plan request on behalf of Andy Whitlock representing Velocity Auto and VAS Investments LLC, a request for approval of a site plan on approximately 1.28 acres located at 12276 South Galena Park Boulevard, known as application 2024-0341-sp and our staff contact is Nick Whitaker.

Nick.

Thank you.

So yes, this is the Velocity Corner Sales Plan request.

Here's the vicinity map.

Um this is 123rd right here in Galena Park Boulevard here.

Um this is part of a larger operation that surrounds it here.

Velocity auto sales.

Here's an aerial map of the property.

Um at this time, as you can see, it's a uh vacant field.

Um it is surrounded by velocity auto.

Uh the land use designation for the property is neighborhood commercial.

And the uh zoning designation is CC.

Or community commercial.

So the site plan that they're proposing is to oops.

Uh is to uh benefit the uh existing um uh auto um sales uh I'm sorry, velocity auto sales that surrounds it.

What they're proposing is a uh essentially a a parking lot to store their um their vehicles that they intend to sell.

That's what would be parked there is just the uh inventory.

Um vehicles would enter um through the uh property to the north and uh through the property to the west, and they have provided um access uh easements to both of these uh uh points of access.

They've provided a landscaping plan as well.

Um that provides uh street trees and uh um the required landscaping um, uh especially the around the perimeter here.

Um this will soften the parking lot uh photometric plan.

Um so there will be lighting during the day and in the evening.

Now uh there are there is an issue with the photometric plan.

Uh as we can see here, they they comply with ordinance on all of these um uh requirements except the maximum illumination ratio.

Um and the uh so what we will be doing is requesting a that is a condition of approval that they fix this prior to um the installation of the uh parking lot.

If I could make one tiny correction here, I'm looking that actually is 2.5 to 1 for after hours there.

Um both of those are over.

So next got it right here, but uh to set after hours is 2.5 to 1 instead of 5 to 1.

So um staff recommends the conditions of approval that would be that all requirements of the Draper City Engineering Public Works Building Planning and Fire Divisions are satisfied throughout the development of the site and the construction of all buildings on the site, including permitting and there are no proposed buildings, by the way.

That the site that the site shall be constructed and landscaped in compliance with the approved site plan and landscaping plan.

And that the applicant provide city staff with an updated photometric plan and after hours lighting plan that has a maximum illumination ratio that does not exceed five to one.

And that the proposed site shall only be used to store vehicle stock being sold by velocity autos, and that the number of vehicles stored at the site shall not exceed the number of parking stalls provided in the approved site plan.

Here is a picture of the property from Galena Park Boulevard.

There's my lovely sign I made.

And here is a picture of the property from 123rd South.

Any questions or comments?

On the photometric plan, just based on the uh the five to one.

Is that different for after hours?

Should that be more specifically clarified in the requirements?

Yeah, it should be 2.5 to 1 for after hours.

I just noticed that as well.

So not to exceed 5.1.

Yeah, so for after hours 2.5 to 1.

2.5, yeah.

So you may want to make a small modification to that condition.

Yeah, I think we should indicate the five to one for uh business hours and 2.5 to 1 for after hours.

I just barely noticed that as well.

Okay.

Commissioners, any other uh questions for staff.

Okay, uh nothing.

Uh the applicant here, if you guys would like to come up and introduce, you know, uh tell us your name and and what you're doing.

And yeah, my name's Andy Whitelock with an E, so not White Lock.

Okay, White Lock.

Yep.

Oh, it is White Lock.

Yep.

Um, so we bought the the property almost two years ago, and uh it's been an ISOR and Draper forever, and so we just wanted to complete that that corner and uh because as you guys know, all of our inventory is in the back, and so we feel putting our inventory up front will just kind of give the street presence and uh beautifying that that corner that's been an ISOR forever.

It's a good improvement on that corner, that's for sure.

It'll it'll make a big difference, and yeah.

So okay, staff.

Do you any of you guys have any or not staff but the commissioners?

Do you have any questions for the applicant?

No.

Okay, great.

Thank you.

Uh we will now uh this is a public hearing.

We will open this um app agenda item for open for uh public comment.

Is there anyone here that would like to address this agenda item?

It doesn't look like that, so we will close um the public portion of uh comment portion of this item.

And um commissioners, what are your thoughts?

What are you thinking on this one?

Pretty straightforward.

I can go ahead and make a motion.

Kendra, you can go two for two tonight.

Um let me get to the right place.

I move that we approve the site plan as requested by Andy Bidelock.

Hopefully, I got that right.

Representing velocity auto and VAS investments LLC application number 2024-0341-sp based on the following findings for approval and subject to the conditions lifted in the staff report dated January 30th, 2026, with one modification to let's see where's that particular in reference to table five on the maximum illumination ratio for business hours that will be five to one, and for after hours it will be two point five to one.

That would be the sole modification of those points in the staff report.

Okay, thank you, Kendra.

Do we have anyone to second that?

I'll second it.

Okay, Laura, thank you.

Um let's go ahead and do a vote.

Kendra, how do you vote?

Yes, Laura, how do you vote?

I forgot to acknowledge that.

Um, so thank you for all your work and everything that you guys do.

And um, is there anything else staff that you'd like us to address tonight?

We should probably know that the two items that are on the agenda, uh, one E and one F been continued.

Okay.

Well, those is my fault.

I forgot to send the other half of the noticeing and then the other one was uh continue at the request of the applicant.

Okay.

So do I need to do anything other than just make a note that those two items have been suspended?

And I don't have any other business.

I don't know if Lori had anything.

Okay.

Well, thank you.
