Uh right now we'll go ahead and turn it over to staff for a report, and then we'll hear from you in a minute.

17:10

Thank you.

17:12

All right, this is uh amended site plan for an existing building that has been there for a number of years.

17:17

This is the building if you've driven past on 126, 100 south, um about 2500 west.

17:26

And this is what they're proposing.

17:30

Uh that building is the um probably mid-90s old uh kind of beach stucco, and they're going to the modern look.

17:40

It matches and very uh they didn't, it's not the same architect as OBO that we did last week or uh a couple weeks ago, but it has a very similar look and they're very close to each other.

17:50

Uh staff was pretty excited to see this remodel.

17:53

This is pretty substantial.

17:55

So here we are looking.

17:56

It's near the crossroads 2700 and 126.

18:00

That's the parcel right here, CPO, and you can see up and down both sides of 126th is uh either zone for commercial or general plan for commercial, and it's CPO C G C N all all very compatible zones.

18:19

Here's the aerial if we need to come back to it.

18:21

This again, all those commercial properties along 126 on the north side, share that boundary with country view uh con our condominium or country view mixed use housing.

18:31

There's OBO on the left that we just did two weeks ago.

18:38

Here's the application and the notice.

18:40

We sent notices out, did not get any comments back on this.

18:44

It would have hit those neighbors in in the condominium project and they didn't say anything.

18:48

Probably because it's remodeling Jordan Crenn unit's probably been a really good neighbor.

18:52

They the access to that condominium project, country view, uh comes off of 126 on a private drive right here, and then goes back to the gated community.

19:04

So those neighbors are driving in and out all the time and seeing it.

19:07

This is the remended site plan.

19:09

Just want to point out a couple of things.

19:11

Almost everything on this site is staying the same.

19:14

They are taking off the canopy that exists here.

19:18

They're reconfiguring the islands a little bit here so that kind of just changes the traffic pattern a little bit, still meets all the standards, and they're fixing the ADA.

19:29

I think there was one section of curb back here that may be unfailing, then they were replacing.

19:33

Everything else stays the same.

Summary of Proceedings

Riverton Planning Commission Meeting - September 10, 2026

The Riverton City Planning Commission met on September 10, 2026, at 6:30 PM in the Riverton City Hall to consider three public hearing items: a site plan amendment for a Jordan Credit Union remodel, a dumpster enclosure addition for the Walmart Fuel Station, and a citywide land use ordinance amendment. All items were approved unanimously. The meeting adjourned at approximately 7:18 PM.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • No public comments were received on any of the three public hearing items.

Discussion Items

2.a Jordan Credit Union Amended Site (PLZ-26-8025)

  • Staff presented a proposal to remodel the exterior of an existing circa-1990s building at 2522 West 12600 South. The remodel includes removing the existing canopy, reconfiguring parking islands, updating to meet ADA requirements, replacing sod with water-wise landscaping (saving mature trees), and installing a metal roof. Two options were presented for the east façade to meet the code requirement that no more than 75% of any side can consist of one color or material. Option 2 adds aluminum siding to a pop-out on the east side. The applicant (Jonathan Flores) stated the lime green color is used on light-up panels for drive-through equipment, which are typically turned off at midnight. Commissioners expressed support for the design, with Commissioner Keele noting it complements the nearby OBO building, and Commissioner Marzo liking the green accent. Commissioner Cluff moved to approve with conditions including Option 2 for the east façade.

2.b Walmart Fuel Station Dumpster Addition (PLZ-26-8028)

  • Staff reported that the fuel station at 13502 South Hamilton View Road was not originally designed with a dumpster enclosure. The amendment adds an enclosure with a CMU block wall and metal gates, painted to match the existing fuel center. No changes to grading, drainage, traffic flow, parking, or landscaping. Commissioners confirmed the enclosure gates would face east. No public comments. Commissioner Matheson moved to approve with conditions that improvements be consistent with plans and enclosure/gates painted to match.

2.c Land Use Ordinance Amendment (PLZ-26-5007)

  • Staff presented an omnibus amendment to Riverton City Code Title 18 to repeal outdated or unenforceable sections. Key changes include:
    1. Removing conflicting landscape standards (e.g., references to 70% sod) and directing to adopted water efficiency standards (20% sod).
    2. Clarifying residential front yard landscaping requirements.
    3. Updating definitions (removing "Master Plan" in favor of "General Plan") to match Utah Code.
    4. Removing minimum home size requirements (unenforceable under state law).
    5. Removing house size and basement regulations (also unenforceable).
    6. Removing unused zones (A-10, A-20 Agricultural, M-2 Heavy Industrial) that have never been applied in the city. Commissioners discussed that the changes bring code into compliance with state law and clean up inconsistencies. City Attorney Ryan Carter confirmed. No public comments. Commissioner Matheson moved to recommend approval of all amendments.

3. Minutes Approval

  • The minutes from the August 27, 2026 Planning Commission meeting were approved unanimously.

Key Outcomes

  • Jordan Credit Union Amended Site: Approved unanimously (motion by Commissioner Cluff, seconded by Commissioner Beck) with conditions: materials/colors match submitted, water-wise landscaping installed, and Option 2 approved for east façade.
  • Walmart Fuel Station Dumpster Addition: Approved unanimously (motion by Commissioner Matheson, seconded by Commissioner Keele) with conditions: improvements consistent with plans, enclosure and gates painted to match fuel center building.
  • Land Use Ordinance Amendment: Recommended for approval unanimously (motion by Commissioner Matheson, seconded by Commissioner Cannon) to amend Title 18 as described.
  • Minutes: Approved unanimously (motion by Commissioner Keele, seconded by Commissioner Beck).
  • Adjournment: Motion carried at approximately 7:18 PM.
