Description/Background:
The applicant, Nate Reimer, P.E with CIR Engineering, representing Eileen Eckman, owner’s representative for Jordan Credit Union, is requesting review of a preliminary commercial modified site plan review, for a property located at 9260 S. 300 E. The site plan review will consider exterior building design, materials changes, reconfigure the existing parking lot and driveways, a new detached building for drive-up window service, and provide new site landscaping. The new site configuration will increase the drive-up teller queuing space capacity but decrease the available on-site vehicle parking. A 20 percent reduction in the required off-street parking is requested. Please see the attached Exhibits for details on the application materials.
See the attached staff report and exhibits for full details of the request.
