REGULAR MEETING - 5:00 p.m.
TIME COMMENCED - 5:09 p.m.
Vice Chair Reid called the meeting to order and briefly described the duties of the Planning
Cornrnission.
1. Public Hearings
1.1 Consideration of ZM-25-002, Request to Rezone from R-1-21 (Single-Family
Residential) to R-l-10 (Single-Family Residential) Location: 4548 S Mathews Way and
4471 S Covecrest Drive Planner: Zack Wendel
Zack Wendel said Millcreek was processing the application on behalf of the two property
owners. The property owners would like to adjust the property line to meet the existing fence
line, a transfer of approximately 200 square feet. The lots are currently zoned with two
different zones, so the lot line adjustment would require a rezone application to move the
zone boundary line along with the lot line. Millcreek staff have determined that changing the
zone for 4471 S Covecrest Drive would be the better option as the property currently does
not meet the standards set forth in Millcreek's Single-Family Residential Zone (R-1-21).
Staff also detennined that it would be worthwhile to include the neighboring property of
4548 S Mathews Way in this rezone application as it currently is split between the R-1-21
Zone a.nd the R-1-10 Zone, a)lowing the oppoffimity to hnng the whole propeQ nnrler one
Millereek Planning Commission Meeting Minutes 19 February 2025 Page 2 of 10
zone regulation. No new development is being proposed on either of these properties.
Wendel showed aerial, zoning, and land use maps of the subject properties. Staff found that
the subject rezone application is consistent with staffs internal policy to clean up
inconsistent zone boundaries. The setback and height requirements between the R-1-21 and
the R-140 are the same with the only difference being that R-1-21 has a lot coverage limit of
25% while R-1-10 has a lot coverage limit of 31o/o. He concluded that the proposed zone
change likely will not have a significant effect on the sutrounding area, since the properties
are already within the Single-Family Residential Zone and both propeities already have a
built single-family home. The zone change is supported by the adopted Future Land Use Map
showing the land use designation as being 'Neighborhood 1.' The proposed zone change will
clean up a misaligned zone boundary for one property and bring the other better into
compliance with the Single-Family Residential Zone requirements.
Wendel noted that the Mount Olympus Corninunity Council met on February 3rd to review
and discuss the proposal. Most questions were regarding the differences between the R-1-21
and the R-1-10 zones. There was some conceni whether the rezone would affect existing
easements. The council voted to recoinmend the rezone application. Wendel recommended a
positive recoiui'nendation to the city council to rezone the properties.
Yce Chair Reid opened the public hearing.
There were no comments.
Yce Chair Reid closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Larson, based on the findings and conclusions listed in the staff report,
moved that the Planning Commission recommend approval of ZM-25-002, as proposed.
Commissioner Soule seconded. Vice Chair Reid called for the vote. Commissioner
Anderson voted yes, Commissioner Larsen voted yes, Vice Chair Reid voted yes,
Commissioner Richardson voted yes, and Commissioner Soule voted yes. The motion
passed unanimously.
1.2 Consideration of ZT-24-008:
Sean Murray reviewed the timeline for the code update which began in 2022 with a code
assessment, initial interviews, and a survey. Eighteen code chapters were reviewed
individually by community councils, the Planning Commission, and the City Council.
Francis Lilly said early adoptions of code included sections on landscaping, parking,
subdivisions, R-1/RCOZ updates, Forestry Recreation Estate (FRE) Zone, signs, and
Village Center Special Districts. As part of engagement on the updates, most property
owners in the city received at least two mailed notices, a total of about 43,000 pieces of mail.
There were also five printed newsletter articles and five "Chat with a Planner" sessions.
Lilly reviewed the impacts of the new code: reduced the number of zones, clarified
application procedures, defined every use referenced in the code either as permitted or
prohibited, provided better graphics, made height and building envelopes in R-1, AG, and R-
2 zones more adaptable to different lot sizes, enabled Millcreek residents to take advantage
of the Utah Water Savers Grant program, created a 5-acre lot size minimum in FRE which
will help protect hillsides, created the Village Center Special District ordinance which will
lVIillcreek Planning Commission Meeting Minutes 19 February 2025 Page 3 of 10
help the city achieve its economic development goals, improved sign standards with a
potential reduction in the number of billboards, provided for subdivision standards to be
compliant with state statute, created parking standards which will help facilitate affordable
housing development, provided for affordable housing incentives, created standards for
required studies and plans, uses modern terminology and easy-to-read tables, and replaced
PUDs with roadway standards and updated minimum lot sizes. The zoning and subdivision
code updates do not radically alter potential entitlements and densities allowed in a zone,
rezone any property to a higher-density or a lower-density zone, reduce allowable densities in
RM and CCOZ zones, significantly change building heights in multifamily or commercial
zones, or propose a new general plan. Planning staff would look to update the general plan in
2027-2028. The city council would review the code in March/April.
Lilly broke down and reviewed the proposed amendments into four parts. Within parts three
and four, staff posed policy questions to the commission.
a. Adoption of the General Provisions, Enforcement, Review Bodies and Land Use
Authority, Appeals, Generally Applicable Land Use Provisions, and Procedures
Chapters of the Revised Zoning and Subdivision Code
Part one of the zoning integration codes focuses on the general provisions, review bodies,
appeals, and procedures. The staff report outlines any revisions made, including minor
changes to the general provisions since they were last reviewed. The first four chapters of the
code serve as the enabling legislation, outlining the roles and responsibilities of different
parties involved and their relationship to broader ordinances, including transportation
management. The language has been updated to ensure compliance with statutes, with new
procedures introduced for residential facilities serving persons with disabilities and for
processing eligible facility requests, such as applications to expand cell towers. The
comi'nunity councils have recoinmended the adoption of these revised provisions,
enforcement procedures, and the appeals process, with unanimous approval and no further
recoinrnendations or clarifications.
hce Chair Reid opened the public hearing.
Andrew Brown, Motor Sportsland RV Center, said an expensive temporary stnicture was
recently purchased for the business to serve as a winter RV display. He asked about the code
proposal of temporary structures not being able to remain for up to six months as the current
code provides, but only ten weeks. He noted the set up and take-down of the temporary
structure was also expensive for the business. Vice Chair Reid said the commission would
address his comment during that proposed code section.
hce Chair Reid closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Soule moved that the Planning Commission recommend adoption of the
general provisions, enforcement, review bodies and land use authority appeals, generally
applicable land use provisions and procedures chapters of the revised zoning and
subdivision code. Commissioner Larsen seconded. Vice Chair Reid called for the vote.
Commissioner Anderson voted yes, Commissioner Larsen voted yes, Vice Chair Reid voted
yes, Commissioner Richardson voted yes, Commissioner Soule voted yes, and
Commissioner Wright voted yes. The motion passed unanimously.

b. Adoption of the Subdivisions and Lots, Parcels, and Buildings on a Private Street
Chapters of the Revised Zoning and Subdivision Code
Part two of the zoning integration codes focuses on subdivisions, lots, parcels, and buildings
on private streets, as well as the division of legally established liousehold dwellings. This
section introduces several changes, including the separation of private street regulations into
its own cliapter, whereas they were previously included within the subdivisions chapter.
Notably, private streets must now be a minimum of 25 feet in width, and the new standard
for minimum lot sizes depends on the zone, with the lot size being measured from tlie edge of
the street. This change is significant for Millcreek, which has many private streets, including
l'nstoiic roads tl'iat predate suburban development, and aims to accomi'nodate development in
existing neighborhoods. Additionally, Chapter I8.6 introduces provisions for the division of
legally established duplexes, allowing them to be subdivided for ownership opportunities,
paiticularly in zones where this was previously limited. This update is designed to create
affordable homeownership options without disrupting the character of existing
neighborhoods, particularly in areas where duplexes are historically established but were not
previously eligible for subdivision.
Coini'nissioner Soule asked if R-ls would become R-2s, particularly with duplexes in the R-l
zone. Brad Sanderson said duplexes in R-1 zones would be considered nonconfon'ning.
Duplexes would still be able to be subdivided.
Vice Chair Reid opened the public hearing.
There were no cornrnents.
Vice Chair Reid closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Larsen moved that the Planning Commission recommend adoption of the
subdivisions chapter of the revised zoning subdivision code as presented by the staff report.
Commissioner Richardson seconded. Vice Chair Reid called for the vote. Commissioner
Anderson voted yes, Commissioner Larsen voted yes, Vice Chair Reid voted yes,
Commissioner Richardson voted yes, Commissioner Soule voted yes, and Commissioner
Wright voted yes. The motion passed unanimously
c. Adoption of the Zone Districts Chapters of the Revised Zoning and Subdivision Code
Part three of the zoning integration codes focuses on the various zone districts, including
setback ai'id land standards. The Planning Commission has previously reviewed many of
these regulations, particularly concerning the Rl zoning and building levels. Notable changes
include the addition of R-1 design standards to the Agricultural zone, along with revisions to
floor and street regulations for consistency. The R-1 zone has been updated to incorporate
these standards, with a focus on maintaining safe and controlled density along corridors.
Similarly, tlie two-household zone and the Residential Mixed Zone (RM) have been refined,
with the R-M zone seeing a reduction in the number of units eligible for permitted use
approval to 25 units, in response to community feedback. Mobile home zoning regulations
have also been cleaned up, with the inclusion of homelessness-related provisions and
adjustments to residential development standards. The MD-3 Zone, which only applies to the
Millcreek Gardens site, has been updated with modernized use lists and design standards,
Millcreek Planning Commission Meeting Minutes 19 February 2025 Page 5 of 10
while the neighborhood commercial zone has been restructured with additional allowances
for institutional facilities and increased height limits along residential zone boundaries. Other
updates include technical corrections for the City Center Overlay Zone (CCOZ) and revisions
to the Village Center Special Districts, which were extensively reviewed and revised with
input from the Plaru'iing Coini'nission. These changes are aimed at improving zoning clarity,
accorninodating modern development needs, and addressing community concerns.
Robert May said staff were reconsidering the design features of the city center with stepback
requirements. He presented images of buildings around the city center with and without
stepbacks. Commissioner Wright liked the idea of providing stepback alternatives for smaller
buildings.
Murray raised a policy question about the R-4 and C-I zones becoming legacy zones due to
their lack of strong design and use standards. The R-4 zone was intended to serve as a lower-
density transition area between single-family zones (R-I and R-2) and higher-density zones
(R-M), while the C-1 zone is meant for small-scale neighborhood commercial use. However,
upon further review, it was determined tl'iat these zones might be better suited for
development with improved design standards. The R-4 zone could support triplexes and
fourplexes in appropriate areas, allowing for density without disrupting neighborhood
character, while the C-1 zone could be developed with similar design standards as other
commercial zones, ensuring a more cohesive urban design. The proposal is to remove the
legacy zone status from both R-4 and C-1, allowing for zoning into these areas where
appropriate, rather than restricting future development. This change would provide more
flexibility for growth and better accoini'nodate medium and low-intensity development, such
as triplexes, fouiplexes, and neigliborhood corni'nercial spaces, while maintaining the
neighborhood feel. The discussion aims to gauge support for this approach, with final
decisions to be made after further consideration by the Planning Cornrnission and coininunity
councils.
Commissioner Soule felt the special neighborhood areas were not typical commercial. Vice
Chair Reid asked about the new general plan reflecting these zones. Murray said it would be
contemplated at that time [when the general plan was being updated].
Sanderson referenced the temporary structures concern raised during the public hearing. The
current code was six months per calendar year, and some uses were abusing that and staying
up for a full year. He said temporary structures were intended to be for temporary uses, and
ten weeks was generous. Lilly said if a temporary structure was up long enough, a permanent
solution would need to be considered. Staff would work with Mr. Brown on his temporary
structure.
Lilly said the community councils provided several recornrnendations regarding the zoning
district discussions. While none of the councils recommended full adoption, they did engage
in separate motions, particularly regarding legacy zones. The majority of the councils
supported making these legacy zones available for future rezoning, suggesting that this
would allow the city to leverage development more effectively, with potential for imposing
design restrictions and limiting uses in ways that may not be possible under current
conditions. The councils emphasized the need for tools that ensure developments align with
neighborhood concerns and the city's broader goals.
Millcreelc Planning Commission Meeting Minutes 19 February 2025 Page 6 of 10
The Mount Olympus Cominunity Council expressed interest in revisiting setbacks and
exploring more creative design solutions, with a plan to further refine language and
approaches in the following month. The Millcreek Community Council unanimously
recoi'ni'nended approval of the zone district chapters but indicated a preference for
encouraging gentle density in areas like the R-M zone, with some concern about setbacks and
a desire for innovative design solutions. The Canyon Rim Citizens Association, while not
taking fori'nal action, shared similar sentiments, being cautious but open to the proposed
changes. The East Mill Creek Community Council was more cautious, particularly concerned
about the implications of expanding the R-4 and C-1 Zone in predominantly single-family
neighborlioods. They expressed a preference for keeping these areas as legacy zones.
Regarding tlie n'iotions to be discussed, the councils unanimously recommended the adoption
of new zone standards, including the appeal of the A-1, A-2 and A-5 zones, the replacement
of the C-2 and C-3 zones with C zones, and the repeal of the Resident Compatibility Overlay
Zone. The councils also suggested that further discussions on city center overlay zones and
legacy zones could be postponed to next month, allowing time for additional input and
refinement.
Vice Chair Reid operted the public hearing.
There were no comments.
Vice Chair Reid closed the public hearing.
Coinmissioner Larson felt there was potential for C-1 around village center districts, aS a
good buffer zone. Commissioner Soule was not sure why a residential neighborhood use
would not be a mixed use or special district. Murray said the R-M zone is more residentially
focused, with coinrnercial elements. The C-1 is going to be more corni'nercial focused, with
the ability to maybe have a residential unit or two above it. Vice Chair Reid would like to
continue C-1 and R-4 because they are walkable and build coinrnunity. She wondered about
transitions between the zonings. Coinmissioner Richardson supported continuing the zones
and not making them legacy. Commissioner Larson recommended eliminating or reducing
stepback standards. The commission was interested in discussing proposals from staff at a
subsequent meeting.
Commissioner Larsen moved that the Planning Commission recommend adoption of the
zones districts chapters of the revised zoning and subdivision code with the follow"ng
recommended changes or clarifications: that C-l and R-4 zones be retained and not
designated as legacy zones, and that staff return with a proposal to allow for the reduction
or elimination of stepbacks in CCOZ on esthetic, performance or compatibility standards.
Commissioner Anderson seconded. Vice Chair Reid called for the vote. Commissioner
Anderson voted yes, Commissioner Larsen voted yes, Vice Chair Reid voted yes,
Commissioner Richardson voted yes, Commissioner Soule voted yes, and ('nmmissinnt'r
Wright voted yes. The motion passed unanimously
e. Repeal of the A-1, A-2, and A-5 Zones and Adoption of an Agricultural Zone to
Regulate All Properties Within an A-1, A-2, or A-5 Zone
f. Repeal of the C-2 and C-3 Zone and Adoption of a Commercial Zone to Regulate All
Properties Within a C-2 and C-3 Zone
Millcreek Planning Commission Meeting Minutes 19 February 2025 Page 7 of 10
g. Repeal of the Residential Compatibility Overlay Zone and Adoption of Design
Standards in the R-I, R-2, R-4, and Agricultural Zones
Commissioner Larson moved that the Planning Commission recommend repeal of the
following zones as part of the adoption of the zone districts chapters of the revised zoning
and subdivision code:
1. Repeal of the A-1, A-2, and A-5 Zones and Adoption of an Agricultural Zone to
regulate all properties within an A-1, A-2, or A-5 Zone.
2. Repeal of the C-2 and C-3 Zones and Adoption of a Commercial Zone to regulate all
properties within a C-2 and C-3 zone.
3. Repeal of the Residential Compatibility Overlay Zone and Adoption of design
standards in the R-I, R-2, R-4, and Agriculhiral Zones.
Commissioner Soule seconded. Vice Chair Reid called for the vote. Commissioner
Anderson voted yes, Commissioner Larsen voted yes, Vice Chair Reid voted yes,
Commissioner Richardson voted yes, Commissioner Soule voted yes, and Commissioner
Wright voted yes. The motion passed unanimously.
d. Adoption of the Development and Use Standards Chapters and Definitions Chapter
of the Revised Zoning and Subdivision Code
Lilly said the recent updates to the city's zoning code encompass a variety of areas aimed at
enhancing flexibility, clarity, and compliance with federal and state regulations. One key
change involves the treatment of accessory buildings, which will now be permitted within a
20-foot setback, with the intention to encourage infrastructure and commercial facilities
while providing flexibility for accessory structures. Additionally, a new parking mandate
requiring one space per accessory dwelling unit (ADU) has been established, and restrictions
on accessory structures on lots smaller than 6,000 square feet have been lifted. Changes to
building height standards have also been made, moving from vague definitions to more
precise and defensible language.
In terms of historic preservation, wireless corninunication facilities, and animal regulations,
the revisions focus on clarifying standards, including not requiring a building permit for
certain residential installations and limiting the number of domestic fowl. Special business
language has been consolidated into one chapter for easier reference, with policy changes to
limit sexually oriented businesses (SOBs) to specific zones. The new chapter on non-
confornning structures introduces flexibility for single-family homes that may not comply
with recent code changes, particularly regarding side setbacks. Additionally, significant
changes have been made to the sensitive lands chapter, replacing overlay zones with
essentially floating zones based on property conditions like slopes or flood risk, iri
compliance with FEMA flood insurance requirements.
The parking mobility standards have been slightly modified to address ambiguities around
room definitions, while landscape and signage standards remain largely unchanged from
2023, with minor formatting adjustments. Neighborhood compatibility modifications have
been added to address unique neighborhood characteristics, particularly regarding fence
heights. Furthen'nore, the clear view and outdoor lighting standards have been updated to
apply citywide, moving beyond specific zones to ensure consistency with the general plan.
New chapters addressinz sinzle-household dwelling standards and mobile home regulations
ensure compliance with federal housing mandates, eliminating discriminatory practices that
Millcreek Planning Commission Meeting IVIinutes 19 February 2025 Page 8 of 10
previously impacted housing affordability. These revisions aim to streamline the code,
encourage development flexibility, and ensure alignment witl'i federal and state requirements.
A new definition chapter has been created to consolidate and organize all key terms and uses
in the zoning code. This chapter includes definitions for every significant term of art and use,
making the code more accessible and understandable. What stands out is the collaborative
effort behind it, as eacli staff member contributed their expertise to recommend definitions,
ensuring that the chapter is comprehensive and accurate. The result is a more organized and
clear reference point for users of the code.
Sanderson asked the commission another policy question, "how much driveway was too
much?" Tlie city is facing a cl'iallenge regarding the increasing requests to concrete entire
front yards, a trend that has raised concerns due to its potential environinental, aesthetic, and
drainage impacts. While the city encourages water-wise landscaping, including xeriscaping,
the current code lacks clear regulations on hardscaping beyond the sidewalk, especially in
front yards. Currently, the code only limits the width of driveways but does not address other
types of hard surfaces such as concrete. The staff is seeking feedback on whether there
should be a restriction on the amount of hardscape, specifically concrete, in residential front
yards. A comparison of neighboring cities shows varying limits on liardscape coverage, with
most cities placing restrictions between 30% and 75% of the front yard area, with some cities
also requiring a minimum percentage of vegetation. The staff acknowledges that certain
situations, such as small lots or cul-de-sacs, might warrant exceptions, and they seek
guidance on how to balance these exceptions while still maintaining overall standards.
Additionally, considerations for properties along busy roads and unique lot shapes, like those
with a crescent-shaped driveway, also require careful thought. The city is looking for input
on whether these types of limitations should be incorporated into the code.
Coinmissioner Richardson asked about coinmunity council input. Lilly said only one council
expressed hesitation on impervious surfaces. He noted the comi'nunity councils were not
particularly interested in discussing limiting impervious surfaces further but three of them
felt there should be some requirement. Commissioner Soule wondered about lot requirements
with vegetation with different cities. Sanderson said some cities were based on lot coverage
and some were on the front yard area. May pointed out that Title 14 amendments read that
50% of the area of the front yard could not be used for driveway purposes.
Lilly asked the commission whether there should be outdoor lighting requirements for
residential uses. One approach is to simply limit lighting requirements to commercial uses.
Another approach is to incorporate all residential uses, including the existing homes. The
third approach is to apply requirements to commercial uses, plus residential additions and
new residential constniction, such that as time goes by and as projects are added that
gradually the lighting will move to more dark sky compliance. Murray said neighboring
cities take different approaches and presented a table on the compared requirements. Lilly
said the community councils had mixed opinions from yes there should be requirements to
no, that is government overreach regulating private property.
)/ice Chair Reid opened the public hearing.
Andrew Brown, Motor Sportsland RV Center, offered a continuation of his first public
cominent. He said the temporary structure was 24,000 square feet with a canvas ceiling and
Millcreek Planning Commission Meeting Minutes 19 February 2025 Page 9 of 10
clear walls. The tent has substantial installation and removal costs. This would be a winter
display for the business.
Vice Chair Reid closed the public hearing.
Vice Chair Reid asked about applying the stealth monopole [cell towers] requirements in all
residential areas. Sanderson said stealth monopoles were not allowed in all residential areas,
there are not a lot of areas to put them, and they are a last option due to expense. Vice Chair
Reid said tliey should not be prohibited from being in sensitive land areas.
Lilly said the Mt. Olympus Coinmunity Council unanimously recoinmended adopting the
new development standards, with exceptions for lighting and impervious surface
requirements. The Millcreek Community Council voted in favor of the standards, though
they did not address lighting or impervious surfaces. They expressed concerns about over-
regulation of single-fai'nily home development and suggested adding a provision allowing
open space to be converted into parking if needed, particularly in response to parking iSSues
arising from new developments. The Canyon Rim Citizens Association also supported the
adoption of the new standards but recoinrnended eliminating minimum parking requirements
altogether, arguing that parking regulations do more harm than good. They also supported
extending parking standards to existing dwellings and implementing maximum parking
requirements. The East Mill Creek Cornrnunity Council unanimously supported the new
standards and recommended that residential conditions for new construction should follow
specific writing standards and maximum improvement service requirements. Additionally, all
councils, except the Millcreek Corninunity Council, recornrnended repealing tlie Foothills
and Canyons Overlay zone.
Tlie coi'nunissioners discussed and felt driveway standards were needed but they were unsure
what they should be. Vice Chair Reid felt a front yard vegetation standard was needed.
Coinmissioner Larsen felt the front yard needed stricter standards than the back yard.
Commissioner Soule wondered about code enforcement on residential lighting. May
suggested applying the requirements to a building permit, otherwise it would be on a
complaint basis. The commission decided there should be some lighting regulations on
residential.
Commissioner Soule commended staff on their efforts with the code.
Vice Chair Reid moved the Planning Commission recommend adoption of the development
and use standards and definitions chapters of the revised zoning and subdivision code, with
the following recommended changes or clarification:
1. Consider options for semi-permanent struchires,
2. Prohibit monopoles m sensitive lands in residential areas unless they are stealth,
3. Develop a plan that recommends a minimum for vegetation and a maximum for
impervious surface standards, and
4. Develop a plan which extends the proposed lighting standards to an residences and
includes limits on strobe and flashing lights.
