The Riverton City Planning Commission held a regular meeting on March 13, 2025, at City Hall, 12830 South Redwood Road, starting at 6:30 PM and adjourning at 8:16 PM. The commission considered five public hearings, including a rezone tabling, a home occupation conditional use permit, a development agreement amendment, a table of uses update, and commercial architectural standards. No public comments were offered on any agenda item. All votes were unanimous.
Chair Park reported that additional time was needed, and the item was tabled to allow for new public notices. The motion to table passed unanimously.
Applicant Robin Cavaness proposes a snack delivery service from her home at 2046 West Kimber Lane (3,500 sq. ft. single-family home, zoned R-8-SD). The business will use less than 50% of the basement for preparing prepackaged snack trays for delivery to businesses; no customers are expected at the home. The city received no neighbor comments. Staff confirmed that a health department inspection is required before a business license is issued, but the applicant provided a letter from the Department of Agriculture indicating no inspection needed for prepackaged foods. The commission approved the permit with six conditions, including compliance with the home occupation ordinance, obtaining a business license, and limiting basement use to 50%. (Motion by Commissioner Matheson, second by Commissioner Beck; unanimous)
Staff presented a proposal to amend the Mountain View Village Development Agreement (CenterCal) to increase the maximum residential units from 282 to 288, and to approve minor exterior architectural changes to the Village Lofts apartment project. The change removes the last remaining 5,100 sq. ft. of retail space on the northwest corner, replacing it with six residential units (two floors, approx. 5,400 sq. ft.) to improve building cohesion and eliminate commercial‑residential conflicts. Ethan Bedingfield (VP of Design, SALT Development) presented renderings and noted that the project would include luxury amenities (pool, clubhouse, courtyard with water feature) and that rents would range from $1,500/month (studio) to $5,000/month (penthouse). SALT plans to begin construction on June 1, 2025, and cited high occupancy rates (over 95%) at their other Utah projects. The commission voted to recommend approval of the development agreement amendment to the City Council and approved the site plan amendment with conditions that the agreement be amended to 288 units and that exterior materials match provided exhibits. (Motion by Commissioner Cluff, second by Commissioner Knudsen; unanimous)
City Planner Tim Prestwich presented proposed changes to Section 18.90.010 of the Land Use Code. Key amendments include:
No public comments were received. The commission voted to recommend approval with the above‑noted amendments. (Motion by Commissioner Cluff, second by Commissioner Knudsen; unanimous)
Staff presented proposed amendments to standardize architectural requirements across commercial zones (except SLR). Key elements include four‑sided architecture, building height, bulk variations every 30–50 feet, roofline variations every 50 feet, exterior materials (2–4 types, 2–4 colors, no bright colors except as accent), prohibited materials (with allowances for distressed metal as accent), cohesion and consistency (two major elements in a center, one for standalone), and mechanical equipment screening. Commissioner discussion raised questions about counting glass as a material, the need for a wainscot requirement, and flexibility for blighted areas. The commission voted to table the item to the March 27, 2025, meeting to allow staff to incorporate feedback (e.g., adjusting material count range, clarifying glass treatment). (Motion by Commissioner Cluff, second by Commissioner Rushton; unanimous)
All votes were unanimous. The meeting adjourned at 8:16 PM.
