Joint Planning Commission Meeting: a. 33rd South Apartments (1306 E 3300 S) Carlos Estudillo said the City Council may approve a CCOZ-DA (City Center Overlay Zone - Development Agreement) zone upon receiving recommendation from the Planning Commission. The following developments are eligible for a CCOZ-DA: buildings that do not exceed 150 feet in length or 100 feet in depth, buildings of any size that provide one of the following public benefits as part of a CCOZ-DA. Public benefits include but are not limited to; publicly accessible open space, publicly accessible parking, and affordable housing. There is an initial review, a review of reasonable anticipated detrimental effects, Millcreek City Councn Meeting Minutes 10 November 2025 Page 2 of 12 city council review and required findings, map design, amendments, and a development agreement. Tyler Morris with Cottonwood Residential gave a presentation on the 33rd and 13th Mixed Use Project. They are pursuing a CCOZ-Development agreement and are requesting two variances. They are proposing a building length along 3300 South which exceeds the limit of 150 feet, and a proposed stepback that varies in depth from 5 feet to 23 feet with sections below CCOZ requirement of 20 feet and a portion that steps back above the 3rd floor rather than the 2nd floor. The project can be designed without variances, but Cottonwood is also proposing to directly provide several design enhancements detailed in the CCOZ-DA as additional mitigation. They are proposing design enhancements with increased fagade modulation, pernneability, and open space integration. Mayor Silvestrini said he will not be able to vote on this though he likes the idea of a wider sidewalk than a deeper stepback. Council Member DeSirant said that what Cottonwood is asking for makes sense and works well with the area. Council Member Jackson said she likes the idea of a wider sidewalk, it allows people to move farther from the street, the building looks nice, the drive through area looks nice but she would like to see a better parking configuration. Mr. Morris said there is one level of underground parking and 3 levels of above ground parking. Then there are four levels of residential space on top of the parking. A structure like Cottonwood Highland pays $70,000 a year in property taxes. A fast-food equivalent would be about $50,000 in sales tax and $2,000 in property tax. Twenty percent of sales tax coming to Millcreek comes from online sales. Council Member Uipi said that there is not enough affordable housing in Utah so building housing in Millcreek is helpful for people who want to live around the amenities of the city. Council Member DeSirant is happy to see commercial space at the building. b. MC 29 Condominiums (1285 E Villa Vista Avenue) Mr. Estudillo said this project does meet the criteria of being less than 150 feet in length and 100 feet in depth. They are seeking exceptions to stepback requirements. Russ Sorensen gave the presentation on MC29. He wants to see a city center with diversity and equity. They have taken a small parcel to help with diversity of housing. Mr. Sorensen would rather call it attainable housing. The maximum amount of money that these condos can be sold for is $450,000. The building could be twice as high but to make it attainable housing they had to scale it down to three stories. It is 24 units because there is only enough parking for 24 units. The homes will go very quickly. The state of Utah has funded $300 million for affordable housing. Millcreek needs affordable housing. There are not many east bench cities that have attainable housing in their city centers. Mr. Winder said there is an ad hoc affordable housing committee at the city, one thing they have talked about is a $50,000 per unit in affordable housing dollars from the CRA's. This would be the first experiment to do in Millcreek. There will be preference for Millcreek employees. Mayor Silvestrini said they are very interested in getting more owner-occupied housing in the city center and the community. Mr. Sorensen said that people who buy these must live here for six years otherwise they have to pay money back to the state. He hopes that people will stay for longer. This can be a prototype property for small parcel developments that are owner occupied. Council Member DeSirant said he is excited about this project but does have concern about using public money and not wanting to create a Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 10 November 2025 Page 3 of 12 lottery for the homes. Mr. Sorensen said that people will be penalized if they sell before six years. Council Member DeSirant said he is concerned about value after six years are up. Mr. Winder said there are protections built into the state code about preventing corporations from buying these up in six years. 2. The Mfflcreek CHaRM (Collection of Hard-to-Recycle Materials) Event Report; Robi Overson, Utah Recycling Alliance Robi Overson said there are many items that are recyclable but are harder to recycle and do not need to be in landfills. In his experience people want this. They want to see these events held more often. They collected 7,368 pounds of material and had 180 vehicles show up. This is the biggest event that they have held and was the most successful. People now know that these events are being held and they will hold onto this recyclable material rather than putting it in a landfill. There was 3,675 pounds of electronic waste that was collected. 3. Staff Reports Mr. Winder gave a staff report about the Fine Art Inn Gallery, it will be moving to the old Dollar Tree site for two years. Woodbury Corporation had been hoping to put a VA clinic into the old city hall building. They would like to revitalize that area into a sales tax generator for the city. The canal right of way is causing a lot of trouble for changing the property. Mr. Winder is proposing that Woodbury take over the Check City building and manage that area. A marquee corner restaurant in the area could be successful. They would manage the center, and Millcreek would have an income stream for the next 20 years there. Mayor Silvestrini said he is disappointed that the VA clinic project died. 4. Discussion of Agenda Items, Correspondence, and/or Future Agenda Items There was none.

Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 10 November 2025 Page 4 of 12 1.2 0ath of Office; Mayor Cheri Jackson Mayor Silvestrini said it has been an honor and privilege to serve this community. The reception last week was beautiful and moving. He said he wanted to pass along some heirlooms (toy bus and yard stick) to Mayor Elect Cheri Jackson. One of the first things you must do as Mayor is make sure staff are in the right seat on the bus. Millcreek has not been reluctant to help people move to the position where they might do better. Mayor Silvestrini presented a yard stick that was from the first city manager, John Geilman. There are many demands on your time, it is a part time mayor position, but it is a full- time job. But you must prioritize things. Never put that which matters most at the mercy of which matters least. As the Mayor you represent the whole city of 65,000 people. Vendors want to sell their goods to the city; developers are looking out for their project. So, ask yourself, is this in the best interest of the whole city. Mayor Silvestrini said he knows that Cheri Jackson will serve this city and the people well. He is proud to call her mayor. Alex Wendt, the Deputy Recorder administered the Oath of Office to Mayor-Elect Cheri Jackson. She swore to uphold her office and carry out her duties with fidelity. Council Member Catten said that when Mayor Silvestrini told her he was resigning that she cried. She was not worried about the city; she was more worried because Mayor Silvestrini has been an amazing mentor. She wished him the best and expressed her love. Council Member DeSirant said he moved to Millcreek in 2010 and he met Mayor Silvestrini in 2019. He noted that Mayor Silvestrini opened his eyes to the good things happening in Millcreek and inspired him to become actively involved. Council Member DeSirant expressed gratitude for the mayor's mentorship and the chance to serve the community. Council Member Uipi said she was so honored to know Mayor Silvestrini for 19 years. Fostering a friendship of the last nine years has been amazing. She thanked Mayor Silvestrini for his support and leadership. She wished him all the best and expressed her love. Mayor Jackson said she was gratefiil for the trust placed in her by Mayor Silvestrini and the City Council. She feels that she had the best mentor in Mayor Silvestrini on how to be a public servant and leader. She thanked Mayor Silvestrini for being her good friend. Mayor Silvestrini showed everyone how to care for a whole city, not just a quarter of it. 1.3 Proclamation Honoring Jeff Silvestrini for His Exemplary Service to the People of Mfflcreek as a Community Leader and Millcreek's Founding Mayor Mayor Jackson proclaimed: WHEREAS, the Millcreek Covmcil expresses gratitude to Jeff Silvestrini for his exemplary service to the people ofMillcreek as a community leader and as Millcreek's founding mayor; and WHEREAS, Jeff is a proud graduate of the University of Michigan and the University of Utah College of Law; arid Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 10 November 2025 Page 5 of 12 WHEREAS, originally from Battle Creek, Michigan, Jeffpracticed law in Salt Lake City and moved to Millcreek with his wife Leslie in 1987; and TVHEREAS, Jejf and Leslie raised two amazing and charming daughters, Liz and Jill, in Millcreek; and WHEREAS, Jeff served as a member and Chair of the Mount Olympus Comrrttmity Council for 24 years before Millcreek incorporated,' and WHEREAS, Jejf successfidly advocatedfor the citizen's initiative to incorporate Millcreek; and WHEREAS, Jeff was elected in 2016 as Millcreek's founding mayor and Millcreek was incorporated as a Utah Municipality on December 28, 201 6; and VVHEREAS, vmder Jeff's strong leadership, Millcreelc master-planned and built a city center; improved roads; and added parks, trails, and open space, inchtdingMillcreek Common; and TVHEREAS, Jeff shepherded the creation of the Millcreek Promise Program, which bridges divides, bttilds community, and lifts all boats in the City; and TVHEREAS, Jeff brought distinction to Millcreek not only in his service as Mayor, but also for his long-time service on key regional boards inchtding the Utah League of Cities and Towns, where he vdtimately served as President; the Wasatch Front Regional Council, the Central Wasatch Commission, the Unified Fire Authority, the Unified Police Department, and the Covmcil of Governments (Conference of Mayors), each of which he chaired at least one term during his tenure; and Saint Mark's Hospital.

For many years-likely decades-pilots have safely used the grassyfields at Eastwood Elementary as a landing zonefor flights from Grandeur Peak and other WasatchFront sites. In the SaltLake Valley's dense urban environment, opert greenspacessuitable for safe landings are extremely rare. Eastwood's fields provide a crucial and safe option in art area surrormded by homes, trees, and power lines. Pilots have long respected agreements with the school, avoiding use during school hours and comntmity events. IfEast-wood Elementary is closed, I strongly urge the City of Millcreek to preserve the property as public greenspace-whether as a park or opert recreation field. The site provides not only a safety resourcefor thefree-flight community but also an irreplaceable patch of green in our growing city, serving residents, students, and visitors alike. Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 10 November 2025 Page 8 of 12 Thanlcyou for considering the lasting comnumity vahte of this properffl" Laura Renshaw, Millcreek Library, spoke about homework help that is being offered by the library to help kids with their homework until midnight on weekdays. It is a work in progress but is going well. Slie asked the city council to keep the library in mind. Kristi Soffe, a local business owner in the Meadowbrook area, said their business has been on the corner of 3900 S and 500 West for forty years. They are concerned about the plan to build bike paths in the area and eliminating traffic. A plan with increased walking traffic could be a safety issue and losing road access would be detrimental to her business. They feel like it would be a regulatory taking of their property, how does the city intend to handle this, would the city be willing to buy their property for fair market value, what do they do about their customer recognition of 50 years? They think that the businesses in the area need more consideration. 2. Planning Matters 2.1 Discussion and Consideration of Ordinance 25-48, Adopting the Meadowbrook Station Area Plan as an Element of the Millcreek Together General Plan Sean Murray said the plan does focus on residential uses but if someone changes the use on their property, it does not take away existing uses, but if someone wanted to change the use of their property, they must follow the city code for the area. Council Member Catten said she is familiar with the Soffe business. In the process of this area plan there were other businesses that had come to some of the meetings with their concerns. The council did take those concerns into consideration. This plan is a guideline for turnover in the future, mainly for transit. Council Member Catten asked the business owners to email her if they need help. Council Member DeSirant moved to adopt Ordinance 25-48, Adopting the Meadowbrook Station Area Plan as an Element of the Mfflcreek Together General Plan. Council Member Catten seconded. Council Member Catten asked Mr. Murray if Millcreek decides to alter the Millcreek Together Plan if this would be affected. Mr. Murray said he thought it might be affected but that was a better question for the city legal team. Council Member Catten said that this plan was done with South Salt Lake City, and she would hate to change things and mess up the South Salt Lake Plan. Mr. Murray said the ordinance is for the Millcreek side and that it does not necessarily affect the other city. Council Member DeSirant said that this plan does not mean the city is going to swoop in and take land. Mayor Jackson said that it is not set in stone, these plans are always changing, they want to be protective of the businesses that are serving the community. The Deputy Recorder called for the vote. Council Member Catten voted yes, Council Member DeSirant voted yes, Council Member Uipi voted yes, and Mayor Jackson voted yes. The motion passed unaniiuouhly. 3.

Then the other item was for $10,000 to the Promise Program for the winter clothing drive. Council Member DeSirant said that after a decade there will be sidewalks on 700 East.
