P&Z approves new business for emergency preparedness
and gluten-free products, discusses Commercial Design
Standards
By Alison Baugh
January 25, 2007 | NIBLEY -- Amid much discussion over
many issues surrounding the Commercial Design Standards
document, two new conditional use permits were approved
by the Planning and Zoning Commission Wednesday evening.
A new wholesale food storage business will be a part
of the Nibley community. Edward and Stefanee Chalfant
of 858 W. 2770 South received permission to open their
new business called Mix It Up! The company will gather
supplies from Salt Lake City and then distribute them
to grocery stores in Cache Valley.
Edward Chalfant described his business as one that
supplies "emergency preparedness products, gluten-free
products and the list goes on and on."
Nathan Giles of Mr. Handyman received approval to
work out of his home at 876 W. 2575 South. He agreed
to follow considerations the commission set forth such
as parking his trailer out of the front view of his
home and having no employees do business at his house.
A city council report was then presented by council
member Scott Wells. He brought forth concerns from the
city council that the wording in request forms for a
conditional use permit needed fixed as did the restrictions
set on the types of deliveries that could be made to
these businesses.
It was then brought to the attention of the committee
that at the Feb. 1 city council meeting, the council
would be going over Mark Daines' request to allow his
new structures to be bypassed by the new Commercial
Design Standards.
The committee then discussed whether they wanted to
make a recommendation to the city council concerning
this issue. After about an hour of talk, which focused
more on ways they thought improvements could be made
to the Design Standards, the commission decided against
giving input to the council concerning the upcoming
issue.
As put by chair Aaron Bliesner, "[The situation] is
like overworked pie crust dough. If you work it too
much, it's ruined."
The evening closed with a workshop concerning the
Land Use and Parking Requirements. They took each area
of land use and reviewed it individually in order to
ensure each one was at its best.
City Planner Conley Thompson discussed some more upcoming
events for the commission to be aware of. The next Planning
and Zoning meeting will be at 7 p.m. Feb. 6.
