The Herriman Planning Commission has delayed a decision regarding the Haven Event Center due to significant parking deficiencies, according to minutes from a July 15, 2026, meeting approved on August 19, 2026. The commission requested that the applicant return with a corrected parking study using the proper classification to address the gap between required and available stalls.
The Haven Event Center application involves a tenant improvement for Building 2 in the Teton Commercial development. While the applicant's original study used an incorrect use classification, staff noted that the correct conference and reception center standard requires approximately 134 stalls. However, only 18 to 20 stalls are realistically available for the event center after accounting for existing tenants in Building 1.
Commissioner Adam Jacobson expressed concern that approving a conditional use permit without a permanent, code-compliant parking solution could expose surrounding commercial tenants to overflow issues. The commission reached a consensus that the applicant must provide a plan demonstrating how required parking will be permanently provided, whether through a cross-access agreement or construction on an adjacent lot.
In a separate matter, the commission unanimously approved a conditional use permit for a commercial monument sign at the Life Time Athletic Club. The approval was granted with the condition that the sign dimensions be modified to meet maximum height and square footage allowances per city code.
During the meeting, Commissioner Jacobson formally requested that staff conduct a comprehensive review of the city's commercial parking standards to better reflect actual demand across different commercial use types.
