Public Hearing - Proposed Addition to Light Industrial Zone (Section 7.4.1) and Automotive Station/Convenience Store Ordinance - Charlie Erickson presented the proposed development consisting of approximately five acres, a 4,000-square-foot convenience store, gasoline and diesel fueling, and required UDOT intersection improvements. - Questions were received regarding the location, proposed zoning amendment, traffic, truck parking, water demand, lighting, fire protection, and community impacts. - Bart Rindlisbacher expressed opposition to the proposal as designed, stating it resembled a truck stop rather than a neighborhood fuel station. He cited concerns regarding overnight truck parking, crime, water usage, and long-term community impacts. - Several residents stated they would support a neighborhood convenience store but not a truck stop. - Charlie Erickson stated projected water use would be approximately 2,500 gallons per day, the parcel has always been within Amalga, and truck accommodations were included based upon industry recommendations. He stated willingness to work with the Town regarding parking restrictions and operational conditions. - Dave Lee reviewed the Planning & Zoning process, noting the proposal had undergone review by Planning & Zoning, the Town Attorney, and the Town Engineer since the previous year. He stated the proposed location was the most appropriate commercial location because it was separated from residential areas. - Council members clarified that the hearing concerned amendments to the zoning ordinance only and did not constitute approval of the business license or construction. 4.
