Summary of Proceedings

Draper Planning Commission Meeting Summary, October 22, 2026

The Draper City Planning Commission met on Thursday, October 22, 2026, at 6:30 PM in the Council Chambers. Chair Andrew Adams presided. The commission unanimously approved several items, including two internal accessory dwelling unit (I-ADU) deviation requests, a home occupation conditional use permit, the previous meeting's minutes, and the 2027 meeting schedule. Two agenda items were continued to a future date.

Administrative Approvals

Meeting Minutes (September 24, 2026): The commission unanimously approved the minutes as submitted. (Motion by Susan, second by Kendra).
2027 Meeting Schedule: The commission voted unanimously to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council for the 2027 meeting calendar. (Motion by Mary, second by Gary).

Internal Accessory Dwelling Unit (I-ADU) Deviation Requests

Talon & Brenda Johnson (14094 S. Candy Pull Dr.): The property is located in a zone where I-ADUs are prohibited. The applicant (who introduced himself as Talon, listed as Tallin in the agenda) requested a deviation to create an affordable living space. Staff confirmed the lot met all criteria, including a requirement for two off-street parking stalls instead of the standard one. Commissioner Mary raised concerns about displacing parking onto the narrow streets. Staff clarified that the new concrete parking pad and garage access requirements would prevent this. The deviation was approved unanimously. (Motion by Kendra, second by Laura).
Cabot & Tiffani Curtis (14811 S. Maple Park Ct.): The applicant requested a deviation for an I-ADU in a prohibited area. The proposed unit is an above-ground addition connected by an enclosed breezeway, with parking provided via a one-car garage and driveway space. The applicant noted the project was driven by a pool addition and they did not immediately plan to rent the unit. The deviation was approved unanimously. (Motion by Kendra, second by Mary).

Public Hearing: Home Occupation Conditional Use Permit

Master Wood Crafters (12646 S. 700 East): Applicant Michael Crist requested a permit for a small woodcraft business (making items like cutting boards and chess sets) operated from his home. Staff confirmed the business operates within a third-car garage, has no customers on site, and ships all products. No public comments were received. The applicant was not present. The permit was approved unanimously, subject to the conditions in the staff report. (Motion by Susan, second by Gary).

Other Business

Facilities Update: Staff announced a new exit door configuration, providing three unsecured emergency exits from the Council Chambers.
Fraud/Scam Awareness: Staff alerted the commission that scammers are mining public agenda data to impersonate city officials and send fraudulent payment demands to applicants. The commission discussed minimizing the inclusion of personal addresses in official minutes to protect them.

Key Outcomes

All action items before the commission were approved by unanimous 5-0 votes.
The United Curbing Conditional Use Permit (Item 1.f) and the 12430 S. 700 East Development Agreement (Item 1.g) were continued to a date uncertain.
