COMMUNITIES THAT CARE PRESENTATION
Tonya Schilling, prevention specialist, with Davis Behavioral Health, presented this agenda
item. She is the Communities That Care (CTC) coordinator, including the Central 3 CTC
representing Farmington, Kaysville, and Fruit Heights. Their vision and mission is to prevent
substance abuse using local data; develop a plan to help the youth; prioritize mental health; help
youth make informed decisions regarding substance abuse through community engagement,
family support, and educational endeavors. CTC provides opportunities to engage with the
community and assist families with their needs. The CTC builds a foundation, structure, and
action plan.
Jaynee Poulson, was recently nominated as the chair of the coalition. She is uniquely qualified
for the position, as she worked as a prevention specialist while working on her Master’s degree.
Years ago she worked on bringing the CTC into schools and analyzing data. She has had
children graduate from both Park City High School and Farmington High School. She learned a
valuable lesson when she organized a substance abuse panel while on the Park City PTA, only
for four parents to show up. Two months later, two high school students overdosed on pink, and
it was standing room only for an emergency parent meeting. It taught her that there is willingness
to respond to a crisis, but unwillingness to work on prevention.
The Utah Student Health and Risk Prevention (SHARP) survey is designed to assess adolescent
substance use, anti-social behavior, and the risk and protective factors that predict these
adolescent behaviors. It is a treasure trove of information providing comprehensive information
about drinking, tobacco use, frequency of sitting down to have dinner with family, school safety,
etc. The answers are anonymous and layered, or asked five different ways, so that respondents
don’t’ lie.
In Farmington the survey has shown risk factors such as a low commitment to school, depressive
symptoms, bullying, and perceived parental attitudes toward anti-social behavior. Priority
DRAFT Farmington City Council, July 2, 2024 Page 1
protective factors include prosocial involvement in the peer/individual domain, and rewards for
prosocial involvement and behavior in the community domain. The Davis School District has
one of the highest opt-out rates, meaning parents are asking that their children not take the
SHARP survey.
Shilling said the CTC needs help from the City Council and other community and business
leaders to support youth by serving on the CTC board and coalition groups to work on initiatives
collaboratively. They want champions to spread the word of who CTC is and what they do.
Davis County SHARP data is open to everyone, and information can also be obtained on an
individual school level.
City Councilmember Melissa Layton said compared to others in Davis County, Farmington is
high in drinking alcohol in the home. Farmington is fortunate to have a police officer attend CTC
meetings. Farmington could use its connections to Lagoon to provide messaging and as part of a
parents empowered campaign. The City could also provide parks and meeting spaces to the
CTC. She mentioned the City Council’s efforts to recognize youth each month during their
Council meetings.
Poulson said it does no good to speak out on substance abuse if local needs are not being directly
addressed. She has lived in Farmington for 11 years, and used to practice treatment as a doctor.
She can see through a parent lens and also see the behavior of a parent modeled by a child. The
data shows there is no accountability or consequences. Parents need to be educated and see
education as a priority, not call in to excuse piles of absences for their children. The data shows
social hosting, or wanting to be liked instead of respected. There is a lot of anxiety and
depression. Kids want to get good grades, but they are not getting life skills.
JACK IN THE BOX PRESENTATION
Mike Williamson, FSC Development LLC; Spencer Greer; and Chris McCandless addressed
the Council. Williamson said they are proposing a Jack in the Box fast food restaurant at the
intersection of Burke Lane and Innovator. The drive thru would be to the back of the building to
keep it off the street. He is asking the Council for straight forward feedback before they go
through the process of asking for approval.
Greer spoke on market conditions, saying the restaurant looks at traffic counts when deciding
where to locate, not income. Being in the right place with enough traffic and vibrancy is what
counts. In this location, traffic will be funneled down on the east side of the freeway. A lot of
people will be going to and from work, and there are not a lot of convenience establishments in
that area. There are other amenities close by that are a regional pull, and it is easy to get on and
off the freeway. Jack in the Box is a national name that people will recognize.
Farmington is one of the most narrow cities in the State, so the demographics never show well.
In this case, it is anticipated that traffic will catch here in a funnel, especially with the new
planned interchange. Some restaurant sales in Farmington have been underwhelming, but growth
is anticipated in the next five years. With Wasatch, Evergreen, and the future Weber State
University (WSU) nearby, Jack in the Box will likely do well. They are trying to create an urban
fast food restaurant with a walkable store front for to-go orders.
Community Development Director Dave Petersen said the building needs to meet Farmington’s
form and build-to line. Their Development Agreement has a paragraph that allows commercial
DRAFT Farmington City Council, July 2, 2024 Page 2
uses in the area, but it may not allow a drive thru. The paragraph reads: “The property at the
corner of Burke and Commerce shall not be restricted to office or supporting retail use, but shall
be commercial use as defined in the zoning ordinance of the City.” Greer said fast food is
therefore permitted, but a drive thru is not.
Councilmember Scott Isaacson said when he served on the Centerville Planning Commission
years ago, they approved a Taco Bell and then a Del Taco a month later right next door. At first
he didn’t understand, but then learned it works that way. When Lonestar Saloon and Steak House
along the frontage road became Centerville’s first sit-down restaurant, he saw that it didn’t last
long because there were no other restaurants around it. In this case, he hopes that there won’t be
more fast food restaurants close to this Jack in the Box. It is not the best use of that property. He
doesn’t feel there will be enough WSU students to support it. He had hoped to only have nice,
sit-down restaurants in that part of town. It is not a good location or fit for any kind of fast food.
Greer said McDonald’s is 1.5 blocks away. Councilmember Alex Leeman said it is not line of
site. Isaacson said more fast food closer to McDonald’s is fine. Williamson said the 0.83-acre
site is not a size conducive to a sit-down restaurant.
Councilmember Roger Child said he is not opposed to a Jack in the Box or a drive thru there.
The free-standing 0.83-acre pad is too small to do anything. He is not opposed to having a mix of
restaurants. Co-existence is a general draw, something “Restaurant Row” in Layton is notorious
for. He hates to see a commercial pad sit vacant forever.
Greer said as a Jack in the Box franchisee, they know it is green. There is some hope, especially
with the future of the STACK development and the County’s Western Sports Park (WSP). This
site has a few problems such as medians on each lane, forcing a right-in and right-out that is not
easy to navigate, and the franchisee knows this. They plan to orient the drive thru access on
Burke Lane and Commerce. There is not a lot of food uses coming in right now. This is not a
location for people pulling off the freeway to get food. It is for people living and working in the
area. It fits in with community members’ regular use.
He said ground-floor retail on apartment buildings is the worst kind of development to ever
happen because Utahans don’t live in a walkable community; nobody wants to. Ground-floor
retail is vacant in Salt Lake City right now. It is becoming more walkable, but it has been a
struggle.
Leeman said the Sego project is great, as is the Wasatch property. The Evergreen project kitty
corner to this proposed use will be nice and high-end. With that in mind, he was hoping for
something more classy than a Jack in the Box. It seems fast food is a step down from the
surrounding projects. He would love to see a project support the surrounding residential rather
than the drive-by consumer. Isaacson agreed. Williamson said he appreciated the feedback.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
Consideration for additional text and changes to Title 12, Subdivision Regulations,
designating the land use authority over Subdivision Plat Amendments
Assistant Community Development Director/City Planner Lyle Gibson presented this agenda
item. In consideration of changes to the ordinance that would allow for potential ownership of
Detached Accessory Dwelling Units (DADU), City Staff has been reviewing the process and is
proposing changes to the Subdivision Plat Amendment approval process to more appropriately
facilitate this pending consideration and other common requests.
The ordinance designates authority for dealing with Subdivision Plat Amendments, which to date
have not been identified within Farmington City Code. The City has simply followed the process
identified by the State and without having designated otherwise, has defaulted the authority to
the City Council in all cases where a Subdivision Plat is amended. The proposed ordinance
designates authority to City Staff, the Planning Commission, and City Council differently
depending on what is being proposed.
If an applicant wanted to do a plat amendment, such as shifting a fence line 5 feet, currently they
would have to come to the Council for approval. If the shift would not affect an easement, it
would be easier for Staff to handle that boundary adjustment. Staff could likewise handle
multiple lots being combined together. However, if a new lot was being created, or an easement,
DRAFT Farmington City Council, July 2, 2024 Page 5
common area, or street was being altered, it should go to the Council. If a lot were being created
that met the standards of the zone, the Planning Commission would consider it. Gibson said the
proposed language creates a process that in theory will make it easier for people to make
adjustments to their property. The Planning Commission recommended the text as proposed.
Mayor Anderson opened and closed the Public Hearing at 7:20 p.m. Nobody signed up in
person or electronically to address the Council on the issue.
Isaacson shared some suggestions on the drafting of the actual ordinance. He said in the
definition of a plat amendment in Section C, it doesn’t read like the other sections do. Gibson
said it would be wise to read it with the City Attorney. A subsection “i” is not needed if there are
no other subsections. The overall substance of the ordinance is fine.
Councilmember Melissa Layton said it is good for Isaacson to be picky, as it makes the City
look better. Gibson said Staff will make Isaacson’s proposed changes.
Councilmember Alex Leeman said he really likes this ordinance. He once helped litigate a 12-
inch boundary dispute, a plat amendment that took four months. An abbreviated way to handle a
minor adjustment is good. Gibson said the intention was that it would likewise apply to a
boundary adjustment between a platted subdivision and an adjacent lot in a non-platted
subdivision. Isaacson said he wanted to see the draft again with corrections before voting on it.
City Attorney Paul Roberts said a public hearing would not be needed again on this issue,
unless substantive changes are made.
Motion:
Isaacson moved that the City Council table the proposed ordinance change, and direct Staff to
come back with revised language consistent with the discussion tonight.
Layton seconded the motion. All Council members voted in favor, as there was no opposing
vote.

BUSINESS
Consider a Resolution Supporting the Establishment of a Remote Transit Station
Assistant Community Development Director/City Planner Lyle Gibson presented this agenda
item. To help facilitate the Farmington Station Area pPan and the type of development
envisioned for the North Station project area, the City has applied to the Governor’s Office of
Economic Opportunity (GOEO) to establish a Housing and Transit Reinvestment Zone (HTRZ).
The purpose of the HTRZ is to collect more tax increment in phases over a longer period of time
than was previously feasible with the existing Community Reinvestment Area (CRA) 1 and CRA
2 areas.
The City’s application was presented and considered by the HTRZ Board on June 10, where the
Board tabled a decision pending more information. Among the items requested was additional
assurance that the transit system or fixed guideway extension would be implemented. The
planned remote hub from the FrontRunner station north to the business park doesn’t exist yet,
which makes this HTRZ application unique. Staff’s solution is to ask the RDA to put together a
resolution in support of that concept. To this end, the proposed resolution has been created. If
approved, it would be presented to the HTRZ Board July 9 to help address their concerns.
City Manager Brigham Mellor said another way to look at this is this is a piece of infrastructure
required to bring about the office park. The City owns the one-mile Right of Way, which is part
DRAFT Farmington City Council, July 2, 2024 Page 7
of a 12-mile stretch of asphalt. The hardest part is over, but there is still a hang-up because the
Board hasn’t approved an HTRZ like this before. If the RDA commits to this, it will happen.
Mayor Anderson said Farmington has earned a lot of goodwill lately, and it will help to
continue to be proactive. This is a step to take showing Farmington is serious. Child said this is a
vote of confidence in a project.
RDA member Scott Isaacson said he hopes the hub is moved a little further to the west; it is
important to him. He envisions it as a hub and gathering place comparable to the fountain at
Station Park. It could be a destination where people ride transit to come to Farmington just to sit
and enjoy.
Mellor said that was brought up to both the HTRZ Committee and Beth Holbrook, a trustee of
the Utah Transit Authority (UTA). At the end of the day, the decision about the exact location is
between Farmington and UTA. It should go where it makes sense for both the provider of major
transit and the City. The hub connects to the greenway, which is a major active transit corridor.
Motion:
Isaacson moved that the RDA approve the proposed resolution supporting the establishment of a
remote transit station.
Findings 1-7:
1. The Farmington City Redevelopment Agency has authority to support infrastructure and
amenities within project areas in order to enhance economic development; and
2. The Agency is aware of a pending application to convert two existing CRA areas into an
HTRZ area; and
3. The Farmington City Council approved a Project Master Plan in 2020 which included
plans for a Remote Transit Station at the village core of the North Farmington Station
development; and
4. The Remote Transit Station is part of the certified Farmington Station Area Plan and has
been included in the Wasatch Choice 2050 plan and the UTA Moves 2050 plan; and
5. The Remote Transit Station would serve as a means for transit users to directly access the
proposed HTRZ area; and
6. The City of Farmington has already acquired much of the necessary property and
permissions in order to establish the connection between the FrontRunner Station and the
Remote Transit Station; and
7. The Agency is supportive of the concept of a Remote Transit Station, and is willing to
develop that amenity as provided in this resolution.
RDA member Alex Leeman seconded the motion. All RDA members voted in favor, as there
was no opposing vote.

BUSINESS:
Consideration of Additional Text and Amendments regarding Recreational Pools and
Tennis Courts
Planning and GIS Specialist Shannon Hansell presented this agenda item. The proposed is a
change to Farmington’s current code for swimming pools and spas, which currently calls for a 6-
foot fence with auto-locking and closing gates. Multiple property owners and contractors in
Farmington have requested to be able to simply follow building code and not be required to fully
fence in a swimming pool. The Planning Commission voted 4-2 to remove the 6-foot fence
requirement from Farmington code completely. After the Council considered this on May 21,
2024, they wanted to go over and beyond the minimum requirements in the building code. Staff
conducted research on the issue and how other Wasatch Front municipalities handle it. Salt Lake
City and St. George did not have any requirements while others like Sandy and Brigham City
did.
Staff proposes to add that a pool cannot be located within 20 feet from a side corner line, just like
any other structure. The amendment presented includes a requirement for at least 4-foot tall
fencing, walls, or other substantial barriers around pools. Substantial barriers are defined as any
permanent barrier that would not allow passage by any person, except for gates. The amendment
also maintains the self-closing and self-latching devices for gates. For applicable substantial
barriers, fences, and walls, a sphere four inches in diameter may not pass through. Applicability
for substantial barriers like retaining walls and hedges would be determined by the City Planner.
Hot tubs, spas, and Jacuzzi covers would just need covers.
Leeman said he felt weird just leaving pools open. He proposed changing the proposed language
in Paragraph 2 so it didn’t look like the City would provide covers for hot tubs, spas, and
DRAFT Farmington City Council, July 2, 2024 Page 9
Jacuzzis. Layton said she wants to keep young children safe from drowning. Child said the
language gives Staff latitude for interpretation. Isaacson said pool covers lately are really good
and strong. However, the ordinance doesn’t enforce if the pool is covered when not occupied.
Motion:
Child moved that the City Council enact the ordinance to replace the requirement for a 6-foot
fence or wall around a private recreational pool, with the language in the enabling ordinance
(enclosed in the Staff Report), with the change to paragraph 2 to be changed from “provided” to
“used.”
Leeman seconded the motion. All Council members voted in favor, as there was no opposing
vote.

GOVERNING BODY REPORTS:
City Manager Report
Mellor said there were three bid that came back on the new park, which is less than he expected.
Many contractors and subcontractors said they were too busy. One bid was missing something,
and one bid was way off, as much as $3 million more than expected. They just were not great
bids, and Farmington didn’t want to get into amending bids. The City is supposed to have three
bids, so it was decided to go back out to bid in the fall. The three contractors understand. One is
a small, local company who wants a fair shot at it. The team doing the roads agreed to take on
some excavation work at the park site.
This could have an effect on the west side fire station. A few months ago, there was a feeling
internally among the administration team that Farmington might be premature in pulling the
trigger on construction of the fire station. There may not be the resources necessary to move
forward for a few months. A lot depends on the revenue stream and the timing of going out to
bid. If the bonds are backed with sales tax, the City may overextend itself. Ultimately, the City
would want to pay the bonds with impact fees, but nobody is building yet.
DRAFT Farmington City Council, July 2, 2024 Page 10
Davis County is hoping to open the Western Sports Park (WSP) in February of 2025, but the
beginning of June is more feasible. Instead of a traditional concession stand, the WSP is slated to
have a full convenience store inside.
Hansell said FFKR Architects is working on Farmington’s General Plan update. They are now
at the public outreach portion, so they will have a booth at Festival Days. In the meantime, they
have sent the City six topics to consider during public outreach. Hansell will send the
Councilmembers a link with the six topics so they can do the survey themselves. Each will be
ranked on a scale of 1 to 10. The topics include housing types, job opportunities, history, active
transportation, protection of natural resources, and the enhancement of parks and trail
opportunities.
Isaacson said the booth will be interactive, with participants given 10 markers to use on the six
values. As everything can’t be supported at the same level, they will have to prioritize.
Mayor Anderson and City Council Reports
Mellor said he will send Councilmembers all the information they need on Festival Days in an
email tomorrow. New t-shirts will be provided, as the polo shirts can be heavy and hot.
Isaacson said the Bountiful Philharmonia—with over 75 accomplished musicians from South
Davis County and surrounding area—recently performed in the park next to the Bountiful
Recreation Center. It was nice and well attended. He recognized several of his neighbors were
part of the community organization. He hopes Farmington will consider supporting fine arts and
music such as this in the future, perhaps with an orchestra in the park feature for Festival Days.
Mellor said they have a stage area for Festival Days, and another one is being designed in the
new park.
Mellor told Councilmembers to disregard an email about a required performance review.
Child said a moment of pause for construction of the new park and fire station is healthy. With
everyone hitting a recession, he does not predict sales tax will increase for a while. Farmington
should not spend money it doesn’t have. Leeman agreed, saying every time Farmington goes out
to bid, the bids come in higher than expected. Mayor Anderson said the City hasn’t received
any proposals back yet for the highest and best use of Old Farm, so they could still proceed down
that path.
Mellor said stop lights need to be installed on the road by the Harmons gas station, particularly
the Innovator intersection. The road is still closed because the north portion is not yet paved.
Four-way stops may be needed until the lights come in. Mayor Anderson said people are
excited about the new road.
Michael Lambert, an unaffiliated candidate for the open Davis County Commission seat,
introduced himself to the Council. He was one of 12 people who filed to fill Commissioner
Randy Elliott’s seat. Lambert is concerned with the divisiveness and polarization of politics on
both the local and national level. He is a licensed social worker who lives in West Layton.
