Riverton Planning Commission Meeting May 28, 2026: Home Occupation, Office Site Plan, Lot Line Adjustment, and EV Charging Stations Approved

The Riverton City Planning Commission convened at approximately 6:30 PM on May 28, 2026, at Riverton City Hall. The commission unanimously approved four items: a conditional use permit for a home‑based cake business, a final commercial site plan for an office building, a lot line amendment, and an amendment to add electric vehicle charging stations at Walmart. They also approved the minutes from the previous meeting and discussed required annual training for commissioners. Public Comments & Testimony - Meracakess LLC (2a): Randy Staples, a nearby condo owner, asked whether the applicant was the owner or tenant, expressed concern about parking congestion, asked if the delivery vehicle would carry advertising, and questioned whether the HOA had approved a commercial business. The applicant (through an interpreter) confirmed she is the homeowner, has HOA approval, and that customers would park in the driveway. - Compass Insurance (2b): No oral public comments were offered at the hearing. Staff noted that written comments had been received questioning the dumpster location. - River Haven Lot Line (2c): No public comments. - Walmart EV Stations (2d): No public comments. Discussion Items - Meracakess LLC – Home Occupation (2a): Planner Lisa Halversen presented the application for Ademarys Ramirez to bake and sell specialty cakes from her townhome. The business would involve online orders with pickup or delivery; no more than three cakes per day were anticipated. Two emailed comments and one phone call raised traffic and parking concerns. The applicant agreed to schedule pickups one at a time and require customers to park in the driveway. Commissioners asked about HOA approval (received), guest parking availability (yes), and signage (at applicant’s discretion, subject to HOA rules). The business had not yet started. - Compass Insurance – Final Site Plan (2b): Planner Tim Prestwich detailed the staff review process: setbacks met, seven‑foot boundary strip, parking exceeds requirement by one stall, ADA compliance, lighting with no off‑site spill, and landscaping meeting 20 trees per acre. An eight‑foot masonry wall will buffer adjacent residential properties. The dumpster location (not dictated by ordinance) was discussed; moving it would lose parking. The applicant, Laurel Bevans (RDGM Construction) and business owner Courtney Jensen (insurance agency), stated UDOT denied a right‑in/right‑out request and approved full access. Chair Park questioned left turns across three lanes in a school zone. Commissioners noted the need for office space in old Riverton and supported the project. - River Haven Amended Lot Line (2c): Prestwich explained that a state code change now requires Planning Commission approval for boundary adjustments. The recorded lot line did not match the existing fence; the adjacent neighbors agreed to move the line to match the fence while meeting minimum lot size and setbacks. Applicant Dylan Tolley said the issue came to light when he applied for a garage permit. The commission found the proposal straightforward. - Walmart EV Charging Stations (2d): Prestwich presented an amendment to add four Level 3 chargers (eight stalls) near Hamilton View Drive. ADA accessibility required a walking path to the store. Existing trees would be retained; a late‑submitted landscape plan replaced sod with rock, shrubs, and water‑wise planting to screen equipment. Commissioner Matheson asked about payment (fee required) and connector types (to be provided). Chair Park objected to the large blue charging stations used at other Walmarts and insisted the stations match the more discreet model shown in the application. The applicant, Joanna Graham (Kimley‑Horn), confirmed the blue color is Walmart’s standard but agreed to install the unit depicted in the plans. The commission required that the aesthetic presented be adhered to. - Minutes (3a): The minutes of May 14, 2026, were approved unanimously. - Planning Commissioner Training: City Attorney Ryan Carter noted that required annual training (four hours) had not been publicly noticed on the agenda but would be addressed at the next meeting. He directed commissioners to review two online videos and promised to distribute advisory opinions from the Utah Private Property Rights Ombudsman. Commissioners who had trouble accessing their official city email were to contact IT. Key Outcomes All motions passed unanimously with specific conditions: - Meracakess LLC (PLZ‑26‑2022): Approved subject to conditions including compliance with city home occupation ordinance, obtaining a business license, state health approvals, limiting use of main floor to 25%, and requiring scheduled pickups with driveway parking. - Compass Insurance (PLZ‑26‑8001): Approved subject to 11 conditions including consistency with presented plans, correcting staff redlines, 20 trees per acre, lighting and mechanical screening, storm drainage requirements (off‑site pond built before occupancy), and a long‑term storm water management plan. - River Haven Subdivision Amendment (PLZ‑25‑1009): Approved subject to conditions that the amended lot layout match the presented plans and that the final plat be recorded with Salt Lake County. - Walmart EV Charging Stations (PLZ‑26‑8019): Approved subject to conditions that site improvements match the presented plans, existing trees be protected, landscaping be installed as presented, and the charging stations match the aesthetic illustration in the application.

Riverton City Council Work Session and Regular Meeting – May 19, 2026

The Riverton City Council held a work session at 4:30 PM and a regular meeting at 7:00 PM on May 19, 2026, at City Hall. Key topics included stormwater management, a presentation from Salt Lake County Council, park entrance improvements, water conservation strategies for parks and splash pads, a legislative update, and an amendment to the tentatively adopted budget for police compensation. A boil water order was announced during the work session due to an illegal cross-connection discovered earlier that day. Consent Calendar - Approved the minutes from May 5, 2026, by unanimous vote (4‑0). Public Comments & Testimony - No members of the public spoke during the citizen comment period at the regular meeting. Presentations/Discussions - Stormwater Discharge 12600 South CRA Project: City Manager Kevin Hicks presented a preliminary proposal to allow a developer to direct stormwater from a future development into an existing city retention pond with excess capacity. The developer would pay all associated infrastructure costs. Council unanimously supported the concept, viewing it as an efficient use of existing infrastructure. - Salt Lake County Council Presentation: Council Chair Amy Winder Newton and Councilmember Suzanne Harrison presented an overview of county services, governance, and budgeting. They noted that nearly 75% of the general fund supports criminal justice and public safety, that the county maintains an AAA bond rating, and that tourism revenue funds cultural/community programs. They discussed jail capacity challenges, behavioral health initiatives, and partnerships for treatment and reentry services. Riverton councilmembers asked about golf course funding, law enforcement, homelessness, and regional cooperation. - Main Park Entrance Discussion: Public Works Director Cary Necaise presented eight conceptual options for the vacant area at the entrance after skate park removal. Options ranged from simple sod replacement ($35,000) to decorative landscaping, pathways, parking, recreational courts, community gardens, and a conservation garden ($150,000). Council generally favored Option 1 (sod and trees) as a temporary beautification measure that could be completed before Town Days, reserving the possibility of future amenities like futsal or street hockey if outside funding becomes available. - Park Water Use and Service Level Discussion: Mr. Necaise outlined a drought mitigation plan that categorizes parks into four service levels with irrigation reductions from 10% (athletic/civic areas) to 25% (low‑priority open spaces). He noted that recent upgrades (weather‑based controls, moisture monitoring) are already improving efficiency. For splash pads – which use non‑recycled culinary water – staff proposed reducing hours to noon‑8 PM and potentially alternating days for the least‑used Old Farm location. Council supported the reductions and emphasized clear communication to residents. - Boil Water Order: During the work session, Mr. Necaise reported that a city monitoring system detected reverse flow, leading to discovery of an illegal cross‑connection between a property’s irrigation system and the culinary water supply. The connection was shut off immediately. In coordination with the Division of Water Quality, a precautionary 48‑hour boil order was issued while water samples are tested (results expected Thursday afternoon). Council discussed future prevention through dual‑check valve installations. - Tentatively Adopted Budget Amendment: Nick Geer presented a revised police compensation proposal: a 1.5% cost‑of‑living adjustment plus a 4% step increase, for a total 5.5% adjustment. The increase would be funded through the RLESA fund, reducing its fund balance from 5% to 1.5% for the year. Councilmembers supported the change as a retention and competitiveness measure. The amendment was approved unanimously (4‑0). The public hearing on the budget was opened, no comments were received, and it was left open until the June 2, 2026 meeting. Presentations/Recognitions - Former Miss Riverton, Olivia Dibble: Announced her upcoming participation in Miss Utah and described her “Show Me Your Shoes” entry – stained‑glass shoes inspired by Riverton City Hall’s dome, which shares a designer with the Utah State Capitol. She thanked the council for the Miss Riverton program. - Riverton Library Presentation: Library Director Joey McNamee and Branch Manager Steph Tilt reported that in 2025 the Riverton Branch circulated over 600,000 items (58% from the branch itself), hosted 539 programs attended by more than 36,000 people, and is a registered Monarch Waystation. Over 225,000 digital materials were checked out by Riverton patrons. Councilmembers thanked them for their service. - Legislative Report: Rob Jolley provided an update on state policy items: a proposed water user fee bill (HB 501) did not pass but may return; transportation funding changes redirect quarter‑of‑a‑quarter monies to a grant program for infrastructure benefiting affordable housing; and upcoming discussions on property tax limits, homestead exemptions, and cash‑carryforward caps were noted. Council asked about opportunities for retroactive infrastructure funding. Key Outcomes - Approved Consent Agenda (minutes from May 5, 2026) unanimously. - Directed staff to proceed with Option 1 (sod and trees) for the Main City Park entrance, aiming for completion before the July 4 celebration. - Directed staff to implement splash pad hours from noon to 8 PM and explore alternate‑day scheduling for the Old Farm location. - Amended the tentatively adopted budget to include a 5.5% police compensation increase (1.5% COLA + 4% step), financed from the RLESA fund; motion passed 4‑0. - Held public hearing on the budget; no public comments; hearing remains open until June 2, 2026. - Convened a closed session at 8:02 PM to discuss the sale, purchase, exchange, or lease of real property including water rights; closed session adjourned at 8:25 PM; the regular meeting then adjourned at 8:26 PM.

Riverton City Planning Commission Meeting Summary – May 14, 2026

The Riverton City Planning Commission convened on May 14, 2026, at 6:30 PM at Riverton City Hall to conduct public hearings, decision items, and routine matters. Chair Darren Park presided over the meeting, with Commissioners Crystal Keele, Gary Cannon (absent), Evan Matheson, Shelly Cluff, Monique Beck, and Joe Marzo present. Staff included City Planner Tim Prestwich, City Engineer Matt Cassel, City Planner Lisa Halversen, and City Attorney Ryan Carter. The meeting adjourned at approximately 9:35 PM. Public Hearings Majestic Homes Rezone (PLZ-26-4002) – Recommended Denial - Proposal: Rezone 3.14 acres at 13172 South Redwood Road from C-N (Neighborhood Commercial) to RM-14 (Medium-Density Residential, up to 14 units/acre) and amend the General Plan from Medium-Density to High-Density Residential. Applicant David Larsen and Kevin Gust proposed a 44-unit townhome concept. - Public Comments: Over a dozen residents spoke in opposition, citing concerns about traffic safety near Riverton Elementary School, loss of rural character, water usage (estimated 500,000–700,000 gallons/month for 44 units), parking spillover, and the unsuitability of townhomes for seniors due to stairs. Some suggested RM-6 zoning (up to 6 units/acre) as a compromise. No public support was expressed. - Staff Report: Tim Prestwich noted state pressure for higher density, but the decision is legislative. The conceptual plan showed 12 units/acre with garages, driveways, and guest parking. - Commission Deliberation: Commissioners discussed design concerns, zoning disparity (high density adjacent to estate density), and precedent. Commissioner Cluff supported recommending denial to allow City Council to weigh both sides. Commissioner Keele feared state intervention forcing even higher density. Chair Park noted the risk of the state imposing 30 units/acre on state roads. - Vote: Motion to recommend denial (keep current zoning) passed 4-2 (Marzo yes, Cluff yes, Park no, Beck yes, Keele no, Matheson yes). King Rezone (PLZ-26-4004) – Recommended Approval - Proposal: Rezone 0.49 acres at 13382/13392 South Trestle Lane and adjacent parcels from RR-22 (½-acre lots) to R-4 (10,000 sq ft lots) and amend the General Plan from Estate-Density to Medium-Density Residential. Applicant David King plans to combine parcels to build a single-family home, retaining an existing duplex. - Public Comments: One neighbor supported the project; another expressed concern about a narrow 29-foot-wide road section and blind corner, which staff noted could be addressed by the Traffic Calming Committee. - Staff Report: Tim Prestwich explained the city-owned parcel has been vacant since 2010. The rezone would allow a viable lot that conforms with adjacent R-4 zoning. - Vote: Motion to recommend approval passed unanimously. Dough Re Mi LLC (PLZ-26-2023) – Approved - Proposal: Conditional Use Permit for a home bakery at 1837 West 13070 South. Applicant Todd Neilson plans to store baked goods (cookies, pastries) in a basement room; baking occurs at a commissary kitchen in American Fork. No customers or deliveries at the home. Annual sales capped at $50,000 under state rules. - Public Comments: None. - Vote: Approved unanimously with conditions (limit to 50% of basement, no visitors before 7:00 AM or after 7:00 PM, business license required). Rock Ridge Amended Master Site Plan (PLZ-26-8011) – Approved - Proposal: Amend the Master Site Plan for commercial lots 6 and 7 at 12653 South 3600 West, changing from a hotel to office/medical office uses. The new layout adjusts parking and traffic patterns. Applicant Altus Development Group. - Public Comments: None. - Staff Report: Tim Prestwich confirmed parking and landscaping requirements are met; future Final Plans will address traffic mitigation on 3600 West. - Vote: Approved unanimously with conditions (traffic mitigation included in first Final Plan). Table of Commercial Uses Amendment (PLZ-26-5004) – Recommended Approval - Proposal: Amend the Table of Commercial Uses to allow “Ambulance Service/Emergency Medical Services Facility” as a conditional use in the C-G (Gateway Commercial) zone. Applicant Gold Cross Ambulance plans to build a station near 12600 South and Riverton High School for inter-facility patient transfers (not emergency 911 response). - Public Comments: None. - Staff Report: Tim Prestwich noted that the use would be allowed citywide in C-G zones. The applicant expects 20–30 transfers per day, with sirens used only about 5% of the time. A letter of support from Unified Fire Authority Chief Dominic Burchett was submitted. - Commission Deliberation: Concerns about potential future emergency response and noise were discussed. Chair Park initially proposed limiting to inter-facility transfers but later withdrew after hearing about state regulations giving cities authority over providers. Commissioner Cluff moved to add conditions: vehicles must be stored indoors (not just screened), and sirens may not be activated until the vehicle is on a public road. - Vote: Motion to recommend approval with amendments passed unanimously. Decision Items VSM East Lot 5 Detail Plan (PLZ-26-8013) – Approved - Proposal: Final Detail Plan for a multi-tenant commercial building (including Domino’s Pizza, City Vet, Hello Sugar, and two smaller food establishments) at 3988 West 13400 South, in the SLR Project Area. The plan includes a drive-through, parking, and landscaping. - Staff Report: Tim Prestwich confirmed compliance with all ordinances; remaining engineering redlines were minor. The project required approval from master developer Land Reserve, which was obtained. - Vote: Approved unanimously with 11 conditions (including storm drainage, screening of rooftop mechanicals, and maintenance of parkstrip). Consent Calendar - None noted on the agenda. Minutes - Minutes from the April 23, 2026, Planning Commission meeting were approved unanimously. Key Outcomes - Majestic Homes Rezone: Recommended denial (4-2 vote); City Council will make final decision. - King Rezone: Recommended approval (unanimous). - Dough Re Mi LLC: Approved with conditions (unanimous). - Rock Ridge Amended Master Site Plan: Approved with conditions (unanimous; Commissioner Cluff abstained). - Table of Commercial Uses Amendment: Recommended approval with added conditions (unanimous). - VSM East Lot 5 Detail Plan: Approved with conditions (unanimous). - Minutes: Approved. - Next Steps: Applicants for rezoned properties will proceed to Riverton City Council for final legislative decisions.

Public Comments & Testimony - Jennifer Preece (speaking for neighbors) expressed strong support for permanent traffic calming measures on 3200 West, arguing that speed bumps are effective and that the city's opposition is unfounded. She urged action before a serious accident occurs. - Natalie Palmer (Riverton resident) raised safety concerns about speeding and reckless driving on 3200 West, stating it is unsafe for pedestrians, bicyclists, and children. She urged permanent traffic calming measures. - Amy Nicholson (53-year resident) described an incident where an unlicensed door-to-door salesman entered her fenced yard despite warning signs, leading to her dogs jumping on him. She was sued by the city (case later dismissed) and expressed frustration that the city did not protect her despite her following police recommendations. She urged stronger protections and enforcement for door-to-door solicitors. - Dave Hogge (resident since 1979, Amy's father) praised city staff and police for their investigation but criticized breakdowns in communication between the city, legal counsel, and prosecutors that led to delays and confusion in the solicitor case. He argued that enforcement of city codes should be clearer and more consistent. - Dustin Palmer (Riverton resident) described the 0.4-mile stretch of 3200 West as longer than a drag strip, with frequent speeding and stop sign violations. He urged permanent traffic calming measures. - Summer Joos (Bluffdale resident) expressed opposition to ICE involvement in Riverton, arguing that ICE disproportionately targets non-citizens and people of color. She urged the city to sever any affiliation with ICE. - Kevin Nay (Riverton resident) expressed serious safety concerns about speeding and stop sign violations on 3200 West, noting that the road is dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists. He urged stronger traffic calming measures. Presentations - Wing & Walmart Drone Delivery: Kendal Prosack (Wing) and Lisa Nelson (Walmart) presented a partnership to launch drone delivery in Riverton, the first in Utah. The drones deliver packages under 5 pounds within 30 minutes, operating from a Walmart parking lot with a 6-mile round-trip range. The system uses automated flight, no live cameras, and average noise of 43 dB cruising and 62.6 dB during delivery. The city expressed support, and staff suggested treating initial installation as a temporary use permit. - Riverton Choice Awards for Excellence in Education: Recognized students and teachers from Riverton Elementary (Ashlee Urry, Austin Clark, Hailey Brey) and Rosamond Elementary (Heike Klenk, Wyatt Christensen, Penelope Henline). - Historic Preservation Commission: Mayor Buroker introduced new commission members (Bill Applegarth, Kim Reynoldsba, Jen Priest, Rick Bills, Brenda Newman) and presented historical home plaques to four families: Boyd and Andrea Palmer (1952 home), Noah and Mallory Dixon (1956 home), David and Carol Sieverts (1971 home), and Matthew and Shelley Sieverts (1900 home). - South Valley Chamber: Jay Francis presented the 2025 report, highlighting 15 ribbon cuttings in Riverton, 27 leadership graduates, 14 business accelerator graduates, and over 1,200 attendees at women in business events. He emphasized the chamber's role as a partnership with the city. - Unified Fire Authority: Fire Marshal Wade Watkins reported first-quarter 2026 emergency response data: 521 total incidents, 63 emergent medical calls (12%), average response time 7.48 minutes (dispatch to arrival). Common EMS calls were falls, breathing issues, and sick-person calls. The department completed 493 inspections on a two-year cycle. He also noted that fireworks restrictions will be published June 1. Councilmember Pierucci expressed concern about response times given growth; Fire Marshal Watkins acknowledged that new travel corridors like Old Liberty Way have improved access. Discussion Items - Budget Study Session: Nick Geer (Administrative Services Director) reported that sales tax revenue is up 1.5% over last year, but growth is slowing compared to previous double-digit increases. The tentative budget was adopted as an interim step; public hearings will be held May 19 and June 2, with final adoption on June 2. Councilmembers requested that detailed line-item data remain available alongside the new simplified budget for transparency. - EV Stations Discussion: Kevin Hicks (City Manager) presented a $385,000 federal grant for EV charging stations, with a city match of about 8% (approximately $10,000 for two stations). Eight cities in the valley have public charging stations, but Riverton has none. Councilmembers expressed differing views: Councilmember Haymond opposed using taxpayer funds for amenities that private businesses could provide, while Councilmember Pierucci and Johnson supported proceeding, citing strategic priorities, potential fleet use, and regional relationships. Councilmember Smith was on the fence but emphasized the need to charge users to recover costs. The council ultimately directed staff to proceed, with the condition that the city charge for electricity and explore adding EVs to the city fleet. - Water Conservation Element (Ordinance No. 26-08): Jason Lethbridge (Development Services Director) explained that this was a procedural correction to incorporate two previously approved documents into the general plan as required by state code. No substantive changes were made. A public hearing was held with no public comments; the ordinance passed unanimously. - Water Shortage Management Plan (Resolution No. 26-15): Cary Necaise (Public Works Director) explained that the plan aligns with Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District's Level Two standards but gives the city flexibility to adopt stricter measures. The plan was revised to clarify council approval for drought mitigation changes. Passed unanimously. Key Outcomes - Consent Agenda: Approved with the removal of items 15.c and 15.h. Both removed items were later approved separately unanimously. - Tentative Budget (Resolution No. 26-19): Unanimously adopted. The final budget will be considered after public hearings on May 19 and June 2, 2026. - Water Conservation Element (Ordinance No. 26-08): Unanimously approved after a public hearing with no comments. - Water Shortage Management Plan (Resolution No. 26-15): Unanimously approved. The plan allows the city to implement voluntary or mandatory water restrictions beyond Jordan Valley's standards. - EV Stations: Staff directed to proceed with the grant project, with charging fees to recover operational costs and consideration of adding EVs to the city fleet. - Traffic Safety on 3200 West: Multiple residents urged permanent traffic calming measures. The city has a traffic team process to review concerns, and council acknowledged the issue but took no immediate action. - Door-to-Door Solicitor Concerns: Residents expressed frustration with the city's handling of unlicensed solicitors and legal liability. The council heard the comments but took no specific action.
