PLEDGE & OPENING CEREMONY: The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Chairman Curtis Tanner and the meeting was opened with Kevin Paulsen offering a word of prayer. PLANNING COMMISSION MEMBERS PRESENT: Planning Commissioners Brian Bare, Kevin Paulsen, and Curtis Tanner (Chairman) were present. Commissioners Sam Brady and Carrie Carroll were excused. City Council Member Diane Anderson was excused as well. CITY STAFF PRESENT: City Manager Brandon Green, City Planner Jeff Oyler, City Engineer Brandon Jones, Hailee Ballingham and City Recording Secretary Amy Gardiner were present. VISITORS: None. SUBDIVISION REVIEW: Review/Discuss/Approve/Deny Amendments to Chapter 8A Regulating the Keeping of Farm Animals in the R-S-12 Zone. (Request to allow small farm animals in R-1-12 & R-1-10 zones) City Manager Brandon Green explains the request to allow residents to raise animals such as chickens on their property. Planning commission members discuss the pros and cons of allowing small farm animals in these zones. There have been about half a dozen requests for the keeping of small animals over the past two months. However, there have also been three complaints about chickens over the past several years. It is not debatable that breeding chickens will also breed alternative wildlife such as raccoons, rats, and skunks. After discussion, Chairman Tanner will prepare a statement to explain that it is not necessary to amend the Chapter 8A Regulating the Keeping of the Farm Animals in the R-S-12 Zone. This is for the greater good of the community. Review/Discuss/Approve/Deny Amendments to Title 10 Chapter 11 Section 13 Swimming Pools and Tennis Courts. City Manager Brandon Green expresses that there are regulations for tennis courts but not basketball or pickleball courts. He then explains the ordinance for swimming pools and suggests the elimination of the section 10-11-13 due to confusion with setbacks. After discussion, planning commission members decide to review the recommendations regarding swimming pools as well as the regulations of outdoor lighting for the pools and sport courts. Review/Discuss/Approve/Deny Amendments to Chapter 16: signs and Outdoor Advertising, specifically “Portable and/or Mobile Signs”. Planning commission members discuss the difference between people driving business cars and people intentionally using vehicles to advertise their business. After discussion, Planning Commission members agreed to review the ordinances and make changes to wording to avoid ambiguity. OTHER BUSINESS: Review/Discuss Parker property residential development expected within the next year. Involves a zone change. Review/Discuss affordable and low-income housing within Fruit Heights City. As well as discuss the rule of no short-term or dethatched rentals.
