City of Murray

The meeting addressed several agenda items, including the approval of minutes from December 5th, January 2nd, and January 16th meetings, and the approval of findings of fact for Smith Family Dental and Fashion Place Mall signage. The commission reviewed a conditional use permit for Beautiful Fence Incorporated in the MG zoning area, establishing conditions regarding electrical compliance, prohibiting outdoor storage, and ensuring emergency access. A major portion of the meeting involved reviewing three combined agenda items for the Utah Education Association (UEA) new office building project. This required a partial vacation of the Arrowhead Lane condominium subdivision (vacating approximately half an acre of parking area), a single lot subdivision to formalize the withdrawn land, and approval of a conditional use permit for the new construction. The proposed building met most setback requirements but required a reduction in height from 32 feet to 30 feet, and detailed landscaping plans were required at the building permit stage.
