Commission approves Main Street Meats conditional use with landscaping and fencing conditions

The Herriman City Planning Commission on March 19 approved a conditional-use permit for Main Street Meats, a proposed frozen meat warehousing, packaging and distribution facility with a small retail component on Porter Rockwell Boulevard.

Staff (Clint) described the proposed facility as roughly 16,500 square feet and about 40 feet tall, with 62 parking stalls and roughly 34 landscaping units shown on the plan. Because the site fronts a UDOT-controlled road, staff recommended the applicant contact UDOT to determine whether landscaping is allowed in the right-of-way; staff also recommended vinyl (or better) privacy fencing rather than chain link with slats because of the site’s visibility and architectural context. Staff requested a stamped landscape plan to address areas that did not meet the 50% live growth coverage standard.

Applicant Richard Faddis described the operation as primarily serving restaurants and hotels, with a small retail counter for call-in customers (about a 12-foot counter area). Faddis said product arrives boxed and that the operation will operate under SQF (Safe Quality Foods) third-party inspections and daily USDA inspection, describing the facility as a clean operation. He said the fence and other staff conditions would not be a problem.

Brody moved to approve item 4.3 with staff’s four recommendations; Darrell seconded. Roll-call votes recorded yes from Preston, Darrell, Andrea, Heather, Jackson and Brody; the motion passed. The approval is conditioned on the staff items discussed at the hearing, including the fencing material, a stamped landscape plan addressing live-growth coverage, and outreach to UDOT regarding frontage landscaping.
