    Continued from Nov. 10 so the applicant could sign a development agreement. The draft limits the site to the concept plan, dims lighting to security level from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m., limits hours to 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., and limits the site to eight pumps (16 fueling positions) with diesel only for small trucks and passenger vehicles. Staff said the structure would be 32 feet tall with an 8-foot stamped concrete wall. Council Member David Spencer raised light pollution; Council Member Jeff Lambson said the site sits lower than the homes behind it; Council Member Tom Macdonald thanked staff for addressing concerns. A UDOT signal at the intersection is to be built in 2021. The Planning Commission had split 3-3. The hearing was held Nov. 10.

  2. November 10, 2020 · City Council

    Rezone 2.16 acres at 2000 South Geneva Road from OS5 to C2 for a gas station and convenience store

    Continued · 7-0 with the mayor

    Davies Design Build asked to rezone the northeast corner of Geneva Road and 2000 South to allow a convenience store with internal restaurants and eight pumps (16 fueling stations), patterned after a Lehi station, under the Eagle brand with gas and diesel for passenger vehicles. A recent General Plan change had designated the corner Community Commercial. Provo and UDOT completed preliminary access reviews and must approve the site plan; UDOT plans a signal. Water and sewer lines must continue through the site to land to the east. Forty-four residents attended a neighborhood meeting and the Planning Commission voted 3-3, so it made no recommendation. Operators said the station would close roughly 10 or 11 p.m. to 5 or 6 a.m. Staff require a 7-foot masonry wall; Development Services Director Ryan Clark said staff worked with the applicant on neighborhood impacts. The developer's president said support grew after re-canvassing; a nearby property owner said he now supports it. A resident living about 650 feet away opposed living next to a gas station, and a petition with 204 signatures from people within a mile favored it. Mayor Brunst said he favored it and a development agreement on lighting; Council Member Brent Sumner raised lighting and said some petition signers lived outside Orem. Deputy City Attorney Steve Earl said an agreement must be signed before the zone change.
