The Riverton City Planning Commission met on October 22, 2026, at 6:30 PM at 12830 S. Redwood Road, Riverton, Utah. The commission held public hearings on a home daycare conditional use, a Burger King commercial site plan amendment, and the city's Master Transportation Plan; took the General Plan Training item out of order; and unanimously approved the two development applications and the October 8, 2026 meeting minutes.
Snuggle Bug Daycare (PLZ-26-2050) – Staff reported that this was a resubmission of a conditional use home occupation daycare at 3568 West New Private Drive previously approved on July 14, 2025; the approval expired because the applicant did not obtain her business license in time. Applicant Kylie Kennedy is a tenant seeking to operate an in-home daycare for up to 12 children, including her own, Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with one employee, a fenced backyard for playtime, and staggered drop-offs and pickups. Staff noted the home is on 0.45 acres in the Butler Meadows subdivision, with access from a private drive off 3600 West serving three lots, and that child daycare qualifies for special allowances of up to 12 children and 24 vehicle trips per day. One next-door neighbor submitted a supportive comment; none opposed. Staff recommended approval with conditions 1 through 8. Commissioner Clough moved approval, Commissioner Matheson seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. The applicant said she was reapplying because she had a baby in the spring and became busy.
Burger King Remodel (PLZ-26-8029) – Applicant Brian Russell, the architect, requested an amendment to the commercial site plan at 3813 West 13400 South to remodel the existing Burger King into the franchise's newer building style. Staff described the current structure as having multiple brick patterns and stone, and said the proposed design would add metal panels, a flatter roof line, gray concrete, and a more consistent painted/cleaned exterior. Staff found the proposal complies with code and recommended approval with conditions 1 through 3, including landscape repair/replacement and a separate sign permit requirement. There were no public comments. Commissioner Matheson moved approval, Commissioner Marzo seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
Master Transportation Plan (PLZ-26-5009) – Staff presented a preview of the proposed update to the Transportation Plan Element of the city's General Plan. The previous master transportation plan was updated in 2005 and the active transportation plan in 2017; the new combined plan emphasizes reducing vehicle miles traveled rather than adding road capacity. Staff cited that 33 percent of trips on 12600 South are created by Herriman traffic and 38 percent on 13400 South, and that the state is expected to take control of 12600 South and widen it from five to seven lanes. The draft plan is more than 100 pages with a 200–300 page appendix. The public hearing was opened; no audience members came forward, and the hearing was closed without a vote. A future adoption process will include public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council.
General Plan Training (Agenda Item 3a) – Taken up before the transportation plan public hearing at staff's request. Staff explained that the General Plan is a document adopted under state code, is advisory rather than mandatory except for certain public facilities and utilities, and includes required elements: land use, transportation and traffic circulation, moderate income housing, and water use and preservation. Staff noted the moderate income housing element is updated annually, the water element was adopted by the city last year, and the land use/general plan update is expected to return in January 2027.
Transportation Plan Discussion – Commissioner Clough asked what does help congestion if road widening does not; staff cited active transportation and possible land-use changes. Commissioner Keel asked about the UDOT takeover timeline for 12600 South, and staff said it is uncertain but likely several years away. Commissioner Keel also expressed concern that the planned widening and median would eliminate a left-turn access near Canyon View Park and hurt neighborhood circulation. Commissioner Marzo asked whether the public would have input; staff confirmed the adoption process will include public hearings. Commissioner Clough asked how road classifications are assigned; staff said they are based on anticipated daily trip volumes, with a minor collector up to about 9,000 trips per day and larger classifications carrying higher volumes.
I think we should just get out of here. I think we need to be on the area. And the legal is all still on the two of the reasons. That's a chance. We can say, go ahead, so we know that's a lot. So we can go over some of these items we're just gonna say. We can have our staff report, here's the map, the location, we're prepared to be requesting. Oh yeah. So it's your woman. Yes, we saw it in the park. In the middle, oh, no, no, no. Oh, I'm still still looking at our words like what was the outcome. It was an upright personal, which is like one. Who's first? We should next year. If I was a key, you just before the time is just uh city, I would say whoever's first. And it changes it's really good. So I think it's just wow. Do you think you could like the other call? Oh, that's an interesting case. So then all people are in the back. Do you go to the back of our video? Oh, you're gonna have a lot of my car. Oh, I mean here's three of us. Uh, we can share and then something else I was gonna do. Yeah. That's weird. Yeah. So that is removed. Well, I think we would write it in terms of it because it won't have to take over, say they didn't look like a key of the wrong person. He did go, but we need to turn a lot of moving. Okay, okay. It was you played better in the role of um, let's see how they can play down, but maybe you can see it's not. And we can quite have to do it. When it's a matter of I wouldn't do it. Oh, yeah. But we keep my review on that. I don't mind. I think which is a shit.
