Description of Request
The applicant is requesting that the Planning Commission review and approve a site plan for a new retail convenience store with gasoline sales and 24/7 operation, which also requires Conditional Use review. An associated staff report will address the conditional use application. There is also a commercial subdivision application associated with this project. The Planning Commission is the land use approval body for this action, as designated in the Sandy City Development Code.
BACKGROUND
The applicant, Mr. Logan Johnson, representing Wright Development Group, is requesting that the Planning Commission determine that preliminary commercial site plan review is complete, for a proposed new 3,050 square foot 7-Eleven branded retail convenience store with gasoline sales and 24/7 operations, on the southwest corner of 700 West Street (AKA Riverside Drive) and 9000 South Street.
The 1.76-acre property is vacant, and was purchase years ago by the Larry H. Miller group for the purpose of developing a Miller owned convenience store with gasoline sales, which was approved by the City but was never built. The Miller group is now selling the property to Wright Development, who desires to subdivide the property and to construct the 7-Eleven store on the eastern one-half of the property as a first phase of development.
