2. Human Resources Policies Presentation; Stephanie Bond, HR Manager, and Josie
Showalter, CDBG/Grant Administrator
Josie Showalter said the policies were compliance requirements for grants the city had
received, two of which were specifically for the Comi'nunity Development Block Grant
(CDBG) for federal compliance, and one from a grant with Salt Lake County for Millcreek
Promise. She reviewed the Effective Coi'nununication Policy which included sections on
purpose, request for auxiliary aids and services, website accessibility, and a grievance
procedure. Staff created a new email address for this policy, adainfo@,millcreek.us. Council
Member Uipi asked if the email address was for general inforination inquiries. Stephanie
Bond said it was created for the policy, but it could be used for other things in the future.
Showalter and Bond described the Language Assistance Plan. The plan followed a template
from Salt Lake County which included a four factor analysis: 1) the number or proportion of
Limited English Proficiency (LEP) persons eligible to be served or likely to be encountered
by the city's programs and activities; 2) the frequency with which LEP persons using a
particular language come in contact with the city services, programs, and activities; 3) the
nature and importance of the city service, program or activity to the LEP population; and 4)
city resources available and costs to pro'vide LEP assistance. The plan included sections on
purpose, meaningful access, four factor analysis, language assistance measures, staff training,
translation of documents, monitoring and updating, fair housing, complaint process,
definitions, and an appendix of "I Speak" cards. Council Member Uipi noted that Tongan was
not included in the appendix.
Showalter explained the Millcreek Promise Health Coalition Complaint Policy as a grievance
policy for tliose on the coalition. The complaint definition and applicability section noted
what complaints the policy did and did not address. There were also sections on types of
complaints and procedures; informal and formal, and administration, records management,
and privacy. Mayor Silvestrini asked if the appeal process could go through an internal
Millcreek process rather than with the Salt Lake County Health Deparhnent. Showalter said
the grant required the complaint go to Salt Lake County if it could not be resolved by
Millcreek.
3. Planning Matters First Readings:
a. ZM-23-003, Rezone Request from R-1-8 to R-1-5 at 3564 S. 1100 E.; Katie Larsen,
Planner
Katie Larsen said the purpose of the rezone was to allow a smaller minimum lot frontage
than what would otherwise be allowed in the current zone. If approved, the zone change
would enable the applicant to get three residential lots, whereas the current R-1-8 Zone
only allowed for two residential lots with a subdivision. Much of the lot width would be
reduced due to the creation of a new access on the northern portion of the property to create
an access for proposed "lot 2". The lots would be arranged in such a way that proposed "lot
1" would become a flag lot, resulting in two lots. The southern portion of the property
could then be subdivided to create a new "lot 3" with a private access that was already
established by an existing prescriptive easement. The rezone request was in alignment with
the General Plan through Goal N-1 and met the Neighborhood 1 designation.
Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 12 June 2023 Page 3 of 13
Larsen said the applicant held a neighborhood meeting onsite on April 12, 2023. Several
people from the surrounding area showed up, mainly with questions as to what was
happening; the consensus was positive. The Millcreek Cominunity Council met in May and
unanimously approved the application as proposed by staff with the recommendation that a
zone condition be added to the property limiting the site to three lots. The Planning
Coinrnission unanimously approved the application as proposed by staff with the
recomi'nendation that a zone condition be added to the property limiting the site to three
lots. The entire property is O.72 acres or, approximately 31,363 square feet in size. Each lot
would be greater than 8,000 square feet. The applicant wished to subdivide into three lots,
which caused a challenge due to the narrowness of the parcel near the north-east portion
fronting 1100 East. Lots in the R-1-8 Zone require a 65-foot lot width, whereas the R-1-5
Zone would allow for a minimum lot width as little as 25 feet. The proposed width of "lot
1" would be 53 feet. The rezone would be accompanied by a development agreement and a
zone condition addressing density and housing type, limiting it to three lots for single
family residential detached homes.
Larsen said the development agreement would include sections on screening, density,
accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and approval by other entities. She concluded that the
applicant wished rezone to R-1-5 to allow for further density and a smaller lot width for the
proposed "lot 1". The proposal was in hannony with the future land use designation, as it
complied with housing type and density. The rezone application would be accompanied by
a development agreement; the agreement would run with the land for 10 years. She
recommended approval of the rezone and development agreement.
Mayor Silvestrini wanted to know what the development agreement would cover. Larsen
said tlie site plan and the limit on accessory dwelling units (ADUs). 'Mayor Silvestrini
asked why the ADU restriction was recommended. Larsen said ADUs were not allowed on
flag lots, and the proposed lots had flag lot type accesses. Mayor Silvestiini asked if the
applicant was agreeable to the development agreement conditions. Larsen confirmed since
she had not heard otherwise.
b. ZT-23-007, Code Text Amendment on Manufactured Home and Tiny Home Zone;
Sean Murray, Planner
Sean Murray said Millcreek's code currently includes a residential mobile home zone,
though it only exists on paper, as no properties were currently zoned for use. Most of the
provisions for mobile homes were not suggested to change. The update of the chapter
simply allowed tiny homes to be added to the zone as well as adding requirements and
standards for future development. He said the difference between mobile home and
manufactured home was the year it was built. There were requirements that new
manufactured home parks and tiny home parks must be platted to help residents achieve
ownership of their lot and there would be spatial requirements. Murray said the proposed
ordinance met the General Plan Goal N-2 and Neighborhood 2 or 3 would be the best fit for
them. The proposed ordinance helped provide a variety of housing typologies and the
potential allowance to develop on small lots. Allowing for a mobile home or tiny home
development would likely reduce costs and barriers to home and land ownership.
Manufactured home and tiny home developments have often been designed to create a
coinmunity feel. These developments could potentially be catered to populations needing
extra support, such as the elderly or disabled.
Millcreek City Councn Meeting Minutes 12 June 2023 Page 4 of 13
Tlie Planning Cornrnission continued the application at first reading to accommodate some
revised considerations. Those were that all new manufactured home and tiny home parks
must be platted to provide ownership opportunities. All new parks must go through the
conditional use approval process as well as the rezone process. Tiny home pads must be at
least 20 feet by 40 feet, with setbacks, which makes tl'ie buildable area about a 225 square
foot minimum. Each tiny home dwelling must be at least 200 square feet. Staff was still
working on specifics of pad size and setbacks for manufactured homes to make sure pads
allowed for industry standard manufactured home sizes. Manufactured homes require 2
parking spots per unit. Tiny homes require 1 parking spot per unit. Manufactured and tiny
home parks require O.25 guest parking spaces per unit. Due to the 'ininimum pad size of 800
square feet, a very dense development could be built tliat would fit in the Neighborhood 3
designation. Before adding open space, roadway, amenities, and other necessary
improvements, the density of a platted 800 square foot pad size development would be
about 54 units per acre. Murray expressed a recent trend of people wanting tiny homes due
to house price increases. He showed some picture examples of tiny home developments.
Murray said all the community councils recoini'nended approval of the application. One of
tlie community councils recornrnended eliminating short teri'n rentals as a use in the zone.
Council Member Jackson confirmed that short term rentals were removed from the zone.
Murray confirmed. The Planning Cominission recommended 5-1 to approve the
application. They discussed lowering the minimums on size and unit count for parks. He
mentioned that the unit minimum was 8 units as was the planned unit dwelling minimum.
He said Coinmissioner Larsen opposed the application because he felt tiny houses did not
help the housing crisis.
Murry reviewed the findings and conclusions. Amending Title 19 updating definitions,
renaming the RMH Residential Mobile Home Zone to the MHTH Manufactured Home/
Tiny Home Zone, and amending and adopting new standards for the MHTH Zone supports
the General Plan by providing more housing types which can support various populations,
as described in the staff report. Proposed updates to the spatial requirements allow for more
opportunity to build tiny and manufactured homes as Millcreek is a built-out city, the
current 5-acre requirement is virtually impossible to acquire. Manufactured homes and tiny
homes are only allowed as part of a manufactured home park or tiny home park. Interested
parties looking to rezone to the MHTH zone must file an application with the planning
department to ultimately be decided by the City Council. Tis rezone would likely include
a development agreement. Changes to the draft ordinance add more stringent design
standards as well as ownership opportunities. Staff had not received comment regarding
MHTH zone updates from residents.
Council Member Jackson asked about the minimum acreage for 8 tiny homes. Murray said
there was not one. The other required standards would help dictate that. Mayor Silvestrini
noted it allowed flexibility. He asked about the Planning Coinmission considering the
minimum of 160 square feet from the proposed 200 square feet. Murray said that decision
was based on some of the pictures Murray used in his presentation that had units smaller
than 200 square feet. Mayor Silvestrini said the zone would allow infill development and
affordability in the city.

c. ZM-22-009, Request to Amend Millcreek's Future Land Use Map from Retail/Office
to Neighborhood II; Rezone 2.2 Acres of Property from the Commercial (C-3) Zone to
the Residential (R-M) Zone; and Enter into a Development Agreement for Property
Located at 3739 S. 900 E.; Francis Lilly, Planning & Zoning Director
Francis Lilly, presenting on behalf of Brad Sanderson, said the project had evolved over the
years. Lilly said the application consisted of amending the General Plan for a portion of the
property to be Neighborhood 2, rezoning a portion of the property to R-M to avoid the
significant commercial requirement of building multifamily in the C zone, and approving a
development agreement. In the fall of 2022, the city council discussed the site in a work
session and from that the following results were considered:
Commercial - minimum 3,000 square feet, restaurant and live/work units abutting 900 East.
Parking - stalls need to near commercial uses and provide a two-car garage per residential
unit.
Transportation - enhance multi-modal transportation options.
Owner Occupancy - units should be platted as a "for sale" product.
Affordable Housing - work with the city to explore affordable housing options.
Architecture - units should be oriented toward and accessed from as street and/or open
space area.
Open Space/landscaping - streets should be lined with trees, provide a centralized "usable
common area".
Amenities - amenities should be "proportionate" to the anticipated user demographic.
Lilly said the site was approximately 2.27 acres. The proposal consisted of a minimum of
3,000 square foot commercial building for a restaurant with outdoor seating; 9 live/work
units, each witli 400 square feet of limited commercial uses, 59 residential units, all units
oriented and accessed from a street or landscaped open space area, 30% (approx.) of units
would be platted as available "for sale" owner occupied housing; street aligned
connectivity to other properties; bus shelter and bike racks; parking dispersed throughout;
one 2-car garage per unit; pocket park located along 900 East; large usable open space area
centrally located within the development; sidewalk connection throughout; sports court,
pavilion, fenced dog park, swing set, leisure swings, fire pit and BBQ area; and urban street
edge buildings and plaza along 900 East.
Lilly said the developer was comi'nitting to a cross street section with parallel parking and
an enhanced bus shelter on 900 East, similar to Mountair Streetscape. He showed pictures
of the site plan, pavilion concepts, conceptual frontage on 900 East, master landscape plan,
and the building elevations. Lilly said the commercial building had a good presence. The
development agreement considered uses, building orientation, ownership, access and
parking, amenities, landscaping, architecture, and utilities. The Plaru'iing Coinmission and
community councils expressed a broad level of support for the project. The Commission
recommended that all of the units be platted for potential future sale. He felt the project
'fulfilled the goals and strategies of the Millcreek General Plan through GP-9, GC-IB, GP-
3, GC-3, and O-1, but it did not help to achieve goal N-2. Mayor Silvestrini asked if the
30% owner occupancy was in the development agreement. Lilly said it should be.
Lilly said the Millcreek Coinmunity Council held a virtual public meeting on April 04,
2023, wherein they made a recorni'nendation (6-2) in favor of the proposal. They had
concerns about comi'nercial property loss, affordable housing, lack of density, needing a
Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 12 June 2023 Page 6 of 13
better mixture of housing types, and needing a higher percentage of ownership. The
Plaru'iing Coinmission recorninended approval and further recoinmended that all units be
platted for ownership. They discussed building signage and timed street parking. Staff
recommended approval of the application. Council Member Uipi asked why the owner
occupancy was capped at 30%.
Adam Hughes and Allie Platt, Lotus Company, appreciated staffs' efforts on the project.
Hughes said the company is a rental townhome coinrnunity developer. They had other
projects in Millcreek. They understood tlie city had the goal to promote affordable housing.
They made as many parcels available for that as they could. He said they were not set up as
a home builder, so taking 30% for owner occupancy was significant. He said the site was
not successful for commercial. Lotus had 10 restaurant tenants in other projects, and they
recognized food and beverage as a strong component of those communities. He was
concerned about fully platting the project but was okay with the 30%. Hughes said a fully
platted subdivision would not be consistent with their prior projects, was unfamiliar to their
lending relationships, and it would require an education component for their company. The
robust amenity package for the rentals would be able to help compete in the market from a
rental perspective. The amenities would be covered through the rent. The for-sale units
would be required to have an HOA to maintain their street and the for-rent product wourd
bear the costs for the shared amenities.
Council Member Uipi asked where the other projects in Millcreek were located. Hughes
said tliey were all nearby. Council Member Catten asked if the properties were managed.
Hughes said they were professionally managed through a third party. He said under this
type of ownership structure, there was better maintenance and upkeep than separately
owned units, and that would be a benefit to the community. Mayor Silvestrini asked about
an HOA. Hughes said there would be an HOA for the 17 owner occupied units closest to
900 East. Council Member Catten said the city wanted to provide housing options but
could not control rent prices or affordability. She was concerned about the ownersbip/HOA
and rental component. Hughes mentioned the maintenance expenses for the rental units
would be included in the rent. Mayor Silvestrini felt tlie mixed rental/owner-occupied use
could work. He appreciated the owner occupancy that was afforded to the project. Council
Member Catten asked if the commercial space would always be a restaurant. Hughes
confinned. Council Member Uipi appreciated the site plan. She asked what the impact
would be to changing the site to a for-sale product. Hughes said it was designed as for-rent,
so the site plan and unit make up would have to be reconsidered as a for-sale product. Platt
said it would make Lotus grow into a business model they did not currently have.
John Brems said the development agreement could last longer than proposed to enable the
restaurant use to remain longer. The owner occupancy could be addressed in the
development agreement or in CC&Rs. Lilly said the development agreement acknowledged
18 owner occupied units, but it would really be 17 units. Council Member Jackson asked if
the units would be platted individually. Lilly said yes, but Lotus would maintain ownership
of them. Council Member Jackson asked about requiring the units being for-sale not
acknowledged in the agreement. Lilly said when market conditions change, having the
infrastructure to sell would be convenient. Mike Winder felt the project reflected a good
compromise with the developer and the city.

4. Staff Reports
Winder said Venture Out was going on every Friday night and the Juneteenth event would be
held that week. The Chambers Avenue construction project was out to bid. Council Member
Uipi appreciated the events calendar distributed the prior week via email.

2. Planning Matters
2.1 Discussion and Consideration of Ordinance 23-20, Rezoning the Properties
Located at Approximately 3956-3960 South 300 East from the R-2-10 (Medium
Density Residential) Zone to the R-M (Multifamily Residential) Zone
Carlos Estudillo showed the council the site plan, renderings, and building elevations for
14 townhome 3-bedroom units. Mayor Silvestrini asked about the pending blanks on
exhibit B in the proposed development agreement being resolved. Estudillo said they had
been resolved and he showed tlie council the updated development agreement. Council
Member Jackson asked about standards for the streetlights for that size of property. Lilly
said there was an engineered specification, so the agreement should say they should be
installed subject to the city engineer's approval. He recommended number 7 of the
agreement be amended by the council. Brems recommended, "the developer shall install
streetlights pursuant to engineering standards within the new park strip directly abutted."
Mayor Silvestrini said the council had a first reading of planning matters where the
council learns about the project in greater detail then at the next meeting, or second
reading, the council approves the matter. This was reviewed and recornrnended by the
community council and Planning Commission.
Mayor Silvestrini asked for public cornrnent. There was none.
Mayor Silvestrini excused Council Member DeSirant from the meeting.
Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 12 June 2023 Page 8 of 13
Council Member Jackson moved to adopt Ordinance 23-20, Rezoning the Properties

Council Member Uipi moved to approve item 2.2 as amended in the development
agreement. Council Member Jackson seconded. The Recorder called for the vote. Council
Member Catten voted yes, Council Member Jackson voted yes, Council Member Uipi voted
yes, and Mayor Silvestrini voted yes. The motion passed unanimously.
3. Financial Matters
3.1 Discussion and Consideration of Ordinance 23-22, Adopting a Final Budget;
Making Appropriations for the Support of Millcreek for the Time Period Beginning
July 1, 2023, and Ending June 30, 2024, and Determining the Rate of Tax and
Levying Taxes upon all Real and Personal Property within Millcreek (the Resulting
Tax is the Same Amount of Tax Previously Collected by Mfflcreek and Will Not
Result in a Tax Increase to Residents of Mmcreek)
Mayor Silvestrini said the council had been working on the budget since February and
had determined that a property tax increase would not be necessary to fund the police
contract. The council held a public hearing on the tentative budget in April. Lisa Dudley
reviewed the budget process which included discussions and a public hearing. She said
that day she had received the certified tax rate and revenue resulting from that. She
reviewed the changes since the meeting packet had been posted. The General Fund
revenue included a $3,436 increase in certified property tax revenue and $30,164
budgetary use of Fund Balance (to balance the expenditures). The General Fund
expenditures included $6,000 for high school scholarships, $6,000 city manager car
allowance, and $21,600 economic development professional services. The scholarship
would be for one boy and one girl from each of the three high schools at $1,000 each.
Mayor Silvestrini said most cities provide a car allowance or provide the city manager a
car. Millcreek's city manager is also the economic developer director, so he is always
meeting with other cities and businesses. The expected cost of purchasing a vehicle was
more than this allowance would be. The allowance is $500 a month. The city gave two
$1,000 scholarships to Cottonwood High School students that year, but Millcreek kids go
to three different high schools. Winder said the professional services increase was for
Pathway Associates to work on naming rights for public improvements.
Dudley said the change to the CapitaI Improvement Project (CIP) budget included
$23,500 in revenue for the budgetary use of Fund Balance. The expenditures included
$9,500 for design work for an eagle sculpture at the Skyline roundabout and $14,000 for
Mfflcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 12 June 2023 Page 9 of 13
a welcome sign at the 3900 S. skybridge. Winder said the welcome sign on 3900 S. was
in conjunction with South Salt Lake. Council Member Jackson asked if there was a
rendering of the eagle. Winder said no, but he anticipated the Skyline senior classes
assisting. Council Member Jackson wanted to know why the $3,436 of property tax
increase was not directed toward the Unified Police Department contract. Dudley said if
the contract bill did not increase, it would not be needed. Mayor Silvestrini said the
scholarship could be based on grades, it did not have to be for one boy and one girl.
Dudley noted she added a table to section 2 of the revised ordinance to include the
certified tax rate.
Mayor Silvestrini asked for public coininent. There was none.
Council Member Catten moved to adopt the final budget as discussed m the presentation,
Ordinance 23-22, including the amendments. Council Member Uipi seconded. The mayor
thanked the finance team for their work. The Recorder called for the vote. Council Member
Catten voted yes, Council Member Jackson voted yes, Council Member Uipi voted yes, and
Mayor Silvestrini voted yes. The motion passed unanimously.
3.2 Establish a Time and Place for a Public Hearing to Change Elective and
Statutory Officers' Compensation - June 26, 2023 at Approximately 7:00 p.m.
Mike Winder said a public hearing was required per state code for employee salary
adjustments. That hearing would be done on June 26fh. He said because the process was
happening, it may be worth revisiting the council's salary which has remained unchanged
since incorporation. Staff recomi'nended council salary changes take effect January 1,
2024, so it was based on the position and not the people. Mayor Silvestrini said the
council did set their own salaries previously. The range was set low so as not to offend
the taxpayers of a new city. Mayor Silvestrini said he received $40,000 a year plus
benefits. The council received $15,000 a year plus benefits. He said though he was a part-
time mayor, it was a full-time job. He said the low salary did not attract many people to
the position.
Council Member Uipi moved to approve item 3.2, establishing a time and place for a public
hearing to change elective and statutory officers' compensation. Council Member Jackson
seconded.
Council Member Uipi said there was also an obligation for all of the board positions/seats the
mayor served with other entities. Council Member Jackson acknowledged that there was a lot of
work involved in serving on the council, but it was a public service.
The Recorder called for the vote. Council Member Catten voted yes, Council Member
Jackson voted yes, Council Member Uipi voted yes, and Mayor Silvestrini voted yes. The
motion passed unanimously
4. Business Matters
4.1 Discussion and Consideration of Resolution 23-22, Approving a Resolution to
Adopt a Language Assistance Plan and an Effective Communication Policy
Mayor Silvestrini noted this was discussed in tlie work meeting. These requirements were
a good idea to make the city more accessible to more people but were required for some
* of the grants the city had received.

Millcreek
Mayor Silvestrini said the state Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services required
local consent every time a special event liquor license was administered or when
restaurants/bars need them. This resolution was to ratify what the mayor had been doing.
A request comes into business licensing, the request is reviewed, and the mayor
authorizes it.
