ROY CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA
MARCH 3, 2020 – 5:30 P.M.
ROY CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS – 5051 SOUTH 1900 WEST
A. Welcome & Roll Call
Mayor Dandoy called the meeting to order and took roll.
B. Moment of Silence
The audience observed a moment of silence.
C. Pledge of Allegiance
The audience recited the Pledge of Allegiance.
D. Consent Items
1. Minutes from the February 4, and February 18, 2020 Roy City Council Meeting Minutes.
Small changes were discussed. Morgan Langholf, City Recorder, confirmed that she had made the suggested
changes.
Councilmember Wilson moved to approve the minutes with adjustments as noted. Councilmember Burrell
seconded the motion. All Councilmember voted “Aye.” The motion passed.
E. Action Items
1. Employee of the month- Brock Durain
Fire Chief Leroy Gleichmann explained that Mr. Durain had been nominated as Employee of the Month. He read
the letter he had sent the review board where he noted that Mr. Durain had made himself very available and had been
careful to keep all apparatus in service. He pointed to a situation where the Roy City Fire Department had had an
engine failure. He explained that Mr. Durain had offered options to do the work in house resulting in a $5,000 saving
with a dedicated 60 manhours. He explained that this had increased the work of employees, but that Mr. Durain had
been able to have the Department handle all the work.
City Manager Matt Andrews explained that America First would be participating in the Employee of the Month
process by providing a $25 gift card along with a piggy bank.
2. PUBLIC HEARING—Resolution 20-7 Approving Adjustments to the Fiscal Year 2020 Budget
Staff presented the resolution which would amend the fiscal year as outlined in the Council’s packet. The budget
was usually adopted in June and that budget could be moved within a department but not between departments or
funds. As a result, the budget had to be amended a couple of times each year when grant revenue appeared or new
projects needed completion. The proposed resolution would amend the approved budget by $421,725. Some grants
had been received, such as a $20,000 ADF grant for the Police Department as well as a donation for a canine bullet
proof vest. The Fire Department had received a FEMA AFG grant to pay for an SCBA breathing apparatus. She

added that included in the new budget was $120,000 in grant revenue. With the upgrades that had been completed,
$31,000 was needed out of the fund reserve balance to pay for thermal imaging. She added that the boilers in the
pool needed an upgrade as well as the diving board. The upgrades, she explained, would cost $57,000.
It was explained that a match had been included for the Hill Air Force Base compatible use plan. The effort was
between several counties to address current and future compatibility issues surrounding the base. The resolution
suggested moving the overtime maintenance budget from the Complex and Aquatic Center to Building maintenance.
In total, the adjustments to the General Fund would be $96,000 to fund balance reserves.
It was noted that the Water and Sewer enterprise funds needed to take $175,000 from fund balance to improve water
lines on 2200 West and 5600 South. She continued that utility services would also be provided on 5130 South 1700
West. The funding also included funds for repairs in the utility office.
The comment was made that the IT Internal Service fund was proposing transferring $35,000 from the General Fund
to improve the speaker system in the City’s meeting room, along with $3,200 to establish a document management
program.
These figures included an increase from Center Weber Sewer District where the Sewer Board had recommended an
increase for residents in that sewer area. The sewer rate in that area would increase from $30.95 to $31.57. The final
item would be to allow previously budgeted funds to be used for site improvement. Staff recommended that public
comments take place before approval.
Councilmember Paul moved to go into Public Comments. Councilmember Saxton seconded the motion. All
Councilmember voted “Aye.” The motion passed.
No comments were made.
Councilmember Paul moved to go out of Public Comments. Councilmember Burrell seconded the motion. All
Councilmember voted “Aye.” The motion passed.
Councilmember Wilson asked about the Air Force Base compatible use plan. She asked what the funds would be
used for. City Manager Andrews explained that the base had received a $182,000 grant for assessment. He added
that the base needed a match and had therefore asked to local jurisdiction to participate. He added that traffic would
be looked at along with anything useful to keep the Base opened.
Councilmember Wilson asked why the utility department needed a new drawer. City Manager Andrews explained
that this was needed because it was a convenient way for citizens to pay their utility bill. Councilmember Wilson
asked how much was left in the General Fund. Mr. Andrews stated he would look for this figure. Mayor Dandoy
stated that the City had to keep 18% in its General Fund and wanted to make sure that was the case. City Manager
Andrews explained that City departments had turned in $300,000 in part because of sales tax coming above budgeted
revenue.
Mayor Dandoy stated that he had been recently surprised to see the cost of laptops. He explained that he found the
cost of laptops requested to be high. It was noted that the laptops cost between $1,500 and $2,000 each and were
rotated out every three to four years.
Councilmember Paul moved to approve Resolution 20-7 Approving Adjustments to the Fiscal Year 2020
Budget. Councilmember Burrell seconded the motion. The roll was taken. All Councilmember voted “Aye.”
The motion passed.
F. Presentations
1. Boys & Girls Club
Mr. James Ebert expressed his appreciation for his opportunity to talk to the Council. He added that he liked to talk
to the Council twice a year. He mentioned wanting to show the outcomes and pointed to many positive changes that
had occurred in the past nine months. Mr. Ebert introduced Shelly Bush, the new Development Director who, for
years, had worked for the Weber School Foundation.
Ms. Bush explained she had been involved with Roy schools and understood how they worked. She explained
knowing the importance of graduation rates. She explained that her role was to work with community partners and
individuals to help bring awareness to development programs focusing on academic and leadership success. She
further added that part of her role was to make sure funding was where it needed to be.
Mr. Ebert provided handouts to the Council while pointing to tutoring times at the Boys & Girls Club as well as Art
programs. He explained the Club provided mentors and a structured calendar. The programs, he continued, were
national and evidence based.
Ms. Bush explained that the Club was not a day care. Rather, the Club had targeted programming including STEM
programs. The Club provided homework help and kept children safe. Mr. Ebert explained that the Club worked with
90 to 100 children each day and added that during the summer, the Club ran eight hours a day in ways that were
purposeful and intentional. He emphasized the importance of mentorship, academic success, and safety. He further
discussed teen programs that helped create the future workforce.
Ms. Bush discussed the teen program, which, it was pointed, ran at capacity. She explained that average daily
attendance had increased in an environment to help teens learn. She explained that within the last month a new
academic program had been started three nights a week: a teacher from the local Junior High came to provide
homework help. This had allowed teens to receive better grades and improved their attendance. With increased
attendance at the Club, she added, a bigger space was required.
Mr. Ebert explained that the plan for the future was to create a common vision. He added that the Club was trying to
align itself with the school district by adopting some school programs and creating continuity. He voiced his
appreciation for Roy City and the community.
Councilmember Wilson asked whether only children going to school in Roy could be part of the Club. Mr. Ebert
explained that other children could be approved without being part of the school district.
Councilmember Burrell thanked the Club for all the work they did for children in the community.
G. Public Comments
Leon Wilson, 4302 South 2675 West, explained that he had a technical request: the audio file should be changed in
ways that would allow advancing a playback. He added that an option to go to a transcript and pick what to listen to.
He continued that n minutes for January or February had been posted. He joked that this was causing some sleepless
nights. Ms. Langholf explained that the minutes could not be posted until they had been approved. Mr. Wilson
mentioned that his next-door neighbor had a corvette. He explained that sometimes impulse buys were made. He
likened this to the City taking sufficient time to make decisions. He added that the Roy business community also
needed to be involved in decisions. He continued that proper notice had to be given to all to attend if they so wished:
publication might not be enough, and people might not understand all ramifications. He explained having concerns
both about Form Based Code for Roy City, but also felt concerns about the process itself. While he could not fully
elaborate fully, he explained that he was not in support. He explained that he weas concerned about the way the
document had come to the Council. He added that he had review the voting record for every commissioner on every
issue. He noted having fond a trend where 99% of the time, the commissioners unanimously voted the same way on
every motion. He mentioned the need for well prepared, independent thinking. He pointed to a requested abstention
where the councilmember had been told they had to vote. He gave a specific example with Commissioner Brand.
He explained that he had read, watched, and listened to every Planning Commission meeting for the prior two years
and could not find any public input before January 14, 2020. He explained that there had been very little review
done. The full Commission, he continued, had received documents with no discussion.
Mr. Wilson explained that during the January 14, 2020, Planning Commission meeting, the Commissioner had
mentioned all the work sessions that had happened, while Mr. Wilson felt that this was misleading. He mentioned
instances when commissioners expressed worry over potential public outcry.
Mayor Dandoy explained that citizens needed to sign up for the email list to stay informed. He encouraged citizens
to present their issues via emails, calls, or messages. He added that continuing to have meetings was
counterproductive.
Mr. Andy Walter, 5570 South 2050 West, explained that if the current plan came to be, he would have a ten-story
building just East of his house: The Convention Center. He added that once 5600 was widened, this would add the
potential for other five-story buildings. He continued that in that perspective, his TV would be cut off and he would
need to go three blocks to a light just to get out of his neighborhood. He further asked where all the cars would park.
He also mentioned that the sewer system was not designed for that high a density of population.
No more comments were made.
Councilmember Paul stated that many had voiced issues about transparency. He explained being open to suggestions
as the government was meant to be representative of the people. He mentioned that some communication was
happening on Facebook and that the City had done quite a bit to inform its people.
A citizen, Mr. Burnett, stated that he had emailed all Councilmembers as well as the Mayor and had not heard back
from everyone. He explained he had sent suggestion to Morgan Langholf without knowing if his suggestions had
been heard. Councilmember Paul stated that did not always respond because of one Councilmember did respond,
they spoke for all. He added using Facebook as he could reach more people that way.
H. City Manager’s Report
• City Manager Andrews explained that the Gold Dig was still scheduled for March 14, 2020.
• City Manager Andrews mentioned that the neighborhood cleanups with shared dumpsters would start on
April 1, 2020, with sign-ups starting for May 2, 2020.
• City Manager Andrews discussed the traffic on the railroad tracks between 4800 South and 2700 West. The
railroad, he continued, had failed to procure the proper permits and would thus delay the project to August
2020.
• City Manager Andrews mentioned the grant for Roy West Park. The Committee, he continued, had
recommended approval for the grant, and the next step would be a vote.
• Councilmember Saxton mentioned that renovating the Municipal Park had been discussed. He explained
that he had been contacted by two separate individuals wishing for the Council to consider putting an all-
inclusive area for wheelchair bound individuals. He added that completed the project before the beginning
of the 2020-2021 school year would be ideal. Councilmember Paul stated that it might be good to research
several ball parks in the following year’s budget as he had had several individuals request them.
• Mayor Dandoy stated that the moment councilmembers and Mayor were together was the perfect time to
bring up suggestions. The suggestions would then be passed to Staff who could into the feasibility.
Councilmember Burrell pointed that the area should be for all abilities, not merely wheelchairs. Mayor
Dandoy further explained that the item would come back formalized and possibly with a budget change.
Councilmember Burrell asked whether this item would be on the current budget, or the following years. City
Manager Andrews stated that the Staff would try to facilitate it in the current budget. Several other cities
were mentioned as having all abilities areas in their parks.
• Councilmember Wilson thanked Mr. Burnett for his comments and invited everyone to attend work sessions
about Form Based Code. She added that the community needed to help the Council see whether FBC was
what was needed.
• Councilmember Paul shared the newly created email to reach councilmember: council@royutah.org. This
email, he continued, went to all councilmembers and when one replied, they replied for all.
I. Adjournment
Councilmember Paul moved to adjourn the meeting. Councilmember Wilson seconded the motion. All
Councilmember voted “Aye.” The motion passed.
ROY CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
MARCH 3, 2020 – 5:30 P.M.
ROY CITY BASEMENT CONFERENCE ROOM – 5051 SOUTH 1900 WEST
A. Welcome & Roll Call
Mayor Dandoy called the work session to order and noted those who were present.
B. Discussion Items
1. Establishing Form Based Code in Downtown Business District.
2. PRESENTATION
The meeting began after City Council adjourned at 6:45 pm.
Mayor Dandoy started meeting with presentation on Form Based Code, he brought up
Focus Roy Document, the Goals were a more virant downtown, affordable housing, safety
and comfort and healthy businesses. Form based Code focuses on looks.
Stan Hoellein requested that three questions be answered, 1. What are the frontage limits
are? 2. What are the costs of FBC as opposed to regular zoning? 3. What are the mechanics
of FBC?
Mayor Dandoy responded to Mr. Hoellein…
City Recorder Morgan Langholf requested that if you speak during the presentation or ask
a question to please state your name for the record.
Councilmember Burrell also requested that if you have a question on FBC that you would
like to ask her to please refer to a specific page within the code for her to look at.
The Mayor reiterated that if you have question to please reach out to your elected officials
that they might be able to serve you better while in this process.
Councilmember Paul wanted to let everyone know that FBC makes things easier for a
developer to come into a space. Because currently they have to go through planning
commission and getting everything approved from site plans to our current building codes
and zones. If we implement FBC then as long as they follow the parameters that we have
set then they don’t have to go through such a long process.
The Mayor echoed and elaborated on what Councilmember Paul stated…..
Councilmember Wilson stated that FBC isn’t the only way that we can accommodate
mixed use, but that the goal behind the city trying to implement FBC was so that we could
accommodate mixed use.
Mayor Dandoy responded to her question/statement.
Mayor then wanted to show the residents the current map that we are using for FBC stating
what areas are currently being proposed for within the code.
Austin Gonzalez, asked if that was there the four-plexes are?
Darlene Muscleman also asked if he could show them where major roads like 4000 and
5600 are for reference.
The Mayor did clarify exactly where he was speaking about for them to know…he
continued to explain what they are currently proposing…..
Councilmember Burrell then stated that she was seeing in the area they were discussing, a
strong grid system and asked…
Councilmember Paul then stated that any existing property owners and businesses would
be grandfathered in and would not be demanded to conform to the FBC once approved.
Councilmember Burrell asked if FBC applied to current owners that wanted to expand or
adjust their buildings,
Councilmember Wilson responded that if changes less than 30% (10% in some instances)
the owner would be required to comply with FBC completely. Mayor responded that the
current FBC is a draft, and the percentages could be changed - such as to 50% or 60%.
Stan Hoellein asked for another clarification
Councilmember Paul stated that this was the reason that we wanted to separate the
downtown from the station district. (The reason was to move forward on the downtown
district because we have an interested developer and take our time to vet through the train
station district
Mayor…..
Leon Wilson asked what would happen when “not this council” was then making the
decisions. Would they change things? Mayor responded that code can be and is changed
by Councils.
The Mayor then stated that he grew up in Sunset and that he drives through it now and it
is completely decaying, they are losing businesses and its only a matter of time before that
happens to Roy and he doesn’t want that. This is why we must make changes. Sierra RV
left Syracuse and it left them completely without business in the city.
Eddie Welter asked how the city could make a business or property owner comply with
the codes that we are putting forth?
The Mayor stated that is a code enforcement officers job and the reality is that we might
need to look into hiring more than just the one we have, but we are making changes. People
are going to jail because they are choosing not to follow the law and clean up their
properties.
Councilmember Burrell then asked what they want changed?...
Mayor……
Shawn Bailey, owner of Dilly Dallies
Mayor…..
Jill Bailey, also an owner of Dilly Dallies, they have been in business there for over 30
years. With FBC it puts them in a position that they would lose their business. Because
they aren’t the property owners, Woodbury is, and they would be displaced. She did
mention that they might move or might retire but the way the code currently is being
proposed isn’t going to work in favor for those businesses that rent or lease property.
Mayor…..
Darlene Muscleman mentioned that if they put in more roads then it would be the cities
job to maintain and plow the roads.
The mayor then stated if there are things within the code that people want changed then it
is within the City Councils power to change it. All they had to do was change what they
didn’t like.
Councilmember Burrell….
Mayor…..
Austin Gonzales has lived in many other places and likes the walkability. Right now, he
lives near harmons but wouldn’t walk there.
Joe Gracy from Joes Car Connection said that he feels like if Roy implements this FBC
that its because they don’t value the current businesses in Roy and only wants newer and
better businesses, if that is how the city feels then maybe he can take his business to a
different location?
Mayor response.
Mr. Gracy
Joe Paul added
Councilmember Burrell added
Mayor
Mr. Gracy
Mayor
Mr. Gracy
Councilmember Paul
Trent Citte from Citte RV stated that he has a narrow driveway to his business, one way
in and one way out, it only has a right turn in and a right turn to get out of it. If they put a
new business on that corner then he loses the access to his property.
Mayor….
Darrell Olsen, He said that the property owners….
Councilmember Paul
Mayor….
Carl Keyes stated that he was one of the main foreman over the Hilton garden inn over in
Ogden that was built a few years ago. He said that there is so much infrastructure that goes
into supporting a business like that. Does Roy have the sewer capabilities to support it?
The Mayor informed everyone that we do, Roy City has more water than most of its
surrounding cities and that is why we have so many car washes. Water is cheap here and
we have plenty of it.
Austin Gonzalez then stated that he again would like his parcel added to the area for FBC
and that he feels like this is going to be a great thing for our City.
Mayor…
Chuck Ivester said that he just requests that the corner curbs be low enough that his trucks
can make a turn in the city.
Mayor….
Councilmember Paul…..
Mayor…..
?? Byron Burnett?? What about emergency vehicles? If we have a multiple level parking
garage how do emergency vehicles get up those?
(at this time Mr. Welter asked a question to Councilmember Paul and Councilmember Paul
was trying to answer the question during the other discussion that was going on with the
Mayor and the rest of the attendees. Mr. Leon Wilson then declared that people needed to
let the Mayor speak so he could be heard)
Councilmember Jackson then stated that a hotel that comes in is going to do its own design
not follow our FBC.
Mayor…..
When the aeronautical design of proposed future buildings was shown, Glenda Moore stated that, for those people
who had been researching, this was the sort of thing discussed in the Planning Commission meetings, and we may
not have understood that this was part of the form-based code discussions.”. She was in attendance.
It was around this point that we discovered the recording wasn’t working so I turned it on.
Mayor….“what we need to do as a residence and a society is…..”
Councilmember Paul “I personally don’t want to do either, so if I can increase sales tax
through some developments then it’s a win win for all of us.”
Mayor “
Question about if this has to be approved?
Mayor, “we will not put a three story building in Roy?” Once you get to 60 feet it caps,
also you cannot have a modern building, the code will not allow glass, it will not allow
metals, its gotta be brick or something else. That is all that the code today will allow you
to do. So unless we try to manage that code and improve the code to make it more flexible
for the demands, our challenge is going to be it provides developers to simply walk away
and go somewhere else. And what we are saying is “don’t walk away” we think that we
can provide some solutions and some business opportunities under controlled measures to
Roy.
The question is going to be what are they going to be and what are they going to look like?
But we cannot, under current code, we cannot build these (referring to the glass/modern
building slide) the codes will not allow them. We have to look at changing that.
Councilmember Paul “a type of Movie Theater a type of hotel, a type of mixed use
development…”
Councilmember Wilson “mixed use is important and one thing I want everyone to
consider, as I have talked to several cities who have adopted this, there biggest problem is
they have a great vision but they can’t get any commercial…they have developers and they
are putting the housing in but they are putting the bottom floor commercial, so they are
thinking wow I am going to have all this commercial revenue, but if we are going to
develop whether its form based or something else, is there a way to allow, the vision is
having the commercial”
Councilmember Paul “how much development has to be commercial? Look at what we
did on 4000 and Midland, we made them go back and cut the number of housing units and
increase the number of commercial, the thing we didn’t do that we learned from other cities
is to stipulate that the two have to go in simultaneously. You mandate a fill rate?
Mayor, “here is what it said, on this particular document ground story has to be retail,
service or office. Above that you can put anything else you want, its permitted use. But
that ground floor has to be commercial, office or retail.”
Councilmember Wilson “but that is only one of the options, so we would have to be careful
and make sure that it’s what we want”
Mayor “we control what goes into the code, what do we want that place to look like and
what options do we want in what locations. Do we want 12 story buildings, if the answer
to that question is no, then it takes three votes to take it out.
Councilmember Jackson, “I have lived in Roy 16 years and it is different, things are gone
now. I want a hotel here, I want everything coming to Hillfield I want more revenue for
the City. The more businesses we get here the more new businesses are going to want to
come. I don’t want people to have to sell their property unless they want to. But I do want
a change for Roy. People just drive through Roy, we go to Riverdale or Clinton, I do want
change, I don’t want 12 story buildings or 5 stories at the station, but I do want change.
Mayor, we do that by adjusting the code to fit the needs of the City. And when approved,
that is what will draw developers to Roy.
Resident?? Please educate the businesses in town that you are not trying to buy us out and
telling them that they will be grandfathered in and teaching them what that means. “as long
as you are maintaining your business there we are not going to touch it”
Councilmember Jackson “as long as you own that property”
Councilmember Paul “If you change things within a certain percentage you will be fine”
**A lot of small conversations
Mayor Dandoy “we all have an opportunity for communication here
Mayor Dandoy stated that the tallest buildings allowed would be 3.5-story buildings. He added that the code would
not allow a modern building and that the current code was not every flexible for property owners and developers.
Under current code, he continued, the buildings presented could not be built. Councilmember Paul stated that having
no mixed-use development was not an option. Councilmember Wilson stated that she had talked to cities that had
had all the land swept for housing development but left with the commercial bottom floor vacant. She added that the
vision was to have commercial.
Staff explained that the Council had to stipulate how much development they wished to have. The number of housing
units had been lowered and that the commercial development had to be put in place along with the housing units.
Mayor Dandoy stated that the ground level had to be, commercial, retail, or offices, while many other uses were
permitted above. Councilmember Wilson stated that caution had to be exercised.
A resident (no name given) explained that she had lived in Roy for a long time. She mentioned that it was different
from when she had first lived here. She explained that she wanted more revenue for the City and added that she did
not want to see anyone suffer from this new code, though she wished to see changes for her children and
grandchildren. Mayor Dandoy explained that developers would have to build according to the code chosen by the
City.
Staff explained that the issue of grandfathered clauses was not well understood by residents. He explained that, for
businesses, the clause stated the business would not be touched as long as it owned the property it was on and
remained the same business. Mayor Dandoy stated that all those in attendance could benefit from these clarifications.
He added that developers that had approached Roy had requested buildings of four to five stories. He explained that
the conversation about height was already taking place and that no twelve-story building would be approved. The
train station, he continued, presented a different challenge: between the TRAX and the trail, the area was zoned for
light manufacturing and any developer could build up to 16 stories. He added that anything being built in Roy had
to have a site plan approved, and that the site plan would not be approved unless it was code compliant. He continued
that the point was to find a code that worked and that citizens should send their comments to the councilmembers.
Mayor Dandoy addressed Mr. Wilson and stated that he had the document posted on July 14, 2019. The one posted
on January 10, 2020 was the same, he continued. He added that nothing had changed on the documents. He further
pointed that the Planning Commission was an independent body and that the code had to be figured out correctly in
order to modernize portions of the City.
Staff explained that the code was critical as the City had access to the Woodbury project: once the interchange was
put in place, Sunset and Clearfield would also have access to the area. Roy City was the entrance at the moment, he
continued, but another entrance would allow developers to go to other cities. This would leave Roy with no
developers and no infusion of capital. Mayor Dandoy pointed that there were about two months to find some
resolution. He added that citizens’ input was critical, and that people who signed up for the email list were kept
informed.

To the West, there are Storage units, there are also some two (2) single-family dwellings and then a
Manufacturing Business. All are zoned LM (Light Manufacturing)
To the North, South and East there are Single-family residential units, however the Union Pacific Railroad is
in between this property and the residential units to the East.
Kiddy-corner to the SW there are three (3) four-plexes.
Interests of the City & Residents –
Having a variety of housing types helps the citizens of every City stay within the community they have lived
in.
Not everyone wants, or can have a detached home with yard to maintain.
Some want to downsize not just in home size.
General Plan Goals, Objectives and Policies –
Within the “Conformance to the General Plan” section of this report it lists five (5) goals and policies that
this type of development would satisfy.
Amend Zoning Map:
Current Zoning: Currently the property is zoned R-1-8, the properties to the west are all different. There is LM
(Light Manufacturing) R-3 (Multi-Family Residential) and RE-20 (Residential Estates)
Requested Zone Change: The applicant would like to have the property changed to either R-3 zoning to allow
multi-family residential. However the R-4 zone does allow for a mix-use type development of allowing office
space, which may not be appropriate in this area.
Considerations: When considering a Zoning District Map Amendment, the Commission and the Council shall
consider the following factors, as outlined in section 10-5-9 “Criteria for Approval of a … Zoning Map” of the
Zoning Ordinance:
1) The effect of the proposed amendment to advance the goals and policies of the Roy City General
Plan.
2) The effect of the proposed amendment on the character of the surrounding area.
3) The compatibility of the proposed uses with nearby and adjoining properties.
4) The suitability of the properties for the uses requested.
5) The overall community benefits.
No amendment to the Zoning Districts Map (rezone) may be recommended by the Commission nor approved
by the Council unless such amendment is found to be consistent with the General Plan and Land Use Maps.
The above section of the Zoning Ordinance asks some questions mostly looking at the effect the proposed zone
and compatibility/suitability to the surrounding uses. Staff would like to comment on some these questions
General Plan Goals, Objectives and Policies –
Within the “Conformance to the General Plan” section of this report it lists five (5) goals and policies that
this type of development would satisfy.
The character of the surrounding areas (see Exhibit “A”) –
3
To the West, there are Storage units, there are also some two (2) single-family dwellings and then a
Manufacturing Business. All are zoned LM (Light Manufacturing)
To the North, South and East there are Single-family residential units, however the Union Pacific Railroad
is in between this property and the residential units to the East.
Kiddy-corner to the SW there are three (3) four-plexes.
Compatibility with surrounding area –
If you look at the current zoning map and look 500 feet in each direction from this property, there are
three (3) different residential zones (R-1-8 & RE-20) and a Manufacturing zone. Rezoning this property to
R-3 and the uses allowed within that zone are more compatible with the R-1 or RE zones than the Light
Manufacturing and the allowable uses which again exists in the neighborhood.
Some additional questions that the Commission and Council needs to reflect upon are:
Does changing are not changing the zoning provide the best options for development of this property or
area?
How can this property best be developed? As single-family dwellings? As multi-family residential? OR as
Manufacturing? All three (3) types of uses exist in the area.
FINDINGS
1. It’s the best and highest use of the land.
2. Provides and supports Roy City Economic Development.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
The City Council can Approve, Approve with conditions, Deny or Table.

Notice and Public Awareness
● Business owners not
notified (unless own
property)
● Property owners--Letter did
not convey impact of FBC
Property owner’s perception of notification:
Roy City Property Owner:
“I own business and rental properties. When I read the letter, I
thought, ‘they are just changing the name to encompass all uses.”
When major City policy changes arise, how much notice and
involvement would you like?
Questions--from Leaders of other cities
● Why does Roy need FBC?
● What goals does Roy want to accomplish with FBC?
● FBC is a tool. Is FBC best tool to accomplish goals?
● FBC = Mixed use, Mixed use does NOT EQUAL FBC
● Good for increased
FBC as a tool-- housing density projects
Leaders’
comments ● Doesn’t protect
commercial well
*
● Increased administration
work and time
● Decreased developer time
Recommendations--Leaders of other cities
● DON’T RUSH!
● Inform and include--businesses, property owners, citizens
● Clearfield: “it is absolutely worth every bit of time it takes”
● Protect commercial regions
● Consider--zoning option, one development at a time
Business owners
● Nonconformance
○ Cost prohibitive
○ “Are you trying to drive us out?”
○ “Why are you laying this on us now? We are just trying to
survive!”
● Increased residential may help with business if traffic not too bad
Developers
● Like FBC if no commercial requirement
● Specific detail restrictions are costly and prohibit
design, creativity
● Residential--where current market is
● Commercial/retail--currently not market supported
General Comments
● Like “spruce up” Downtown idea
● Want increased retail and restaurants
● Don’t lose commercial land
● Keep community feel! Lost with FBC high density
● Ok with careful mixed use
○ Shops on bottom ok
○ Not lots high rise density
More General Comments
● Avoid tunnel feel--high and close to sidewalk
● Traffic BIG CONCERN!
● Limited high-rise, high density housing
● Looks not a priority
Trees/Landscape
● Look nice at first
● Hard to maintain
● Businesses don’t like trees
● Medians not wanted
Property owner’s opinion of medians:
Are there more pros or cons to adding landscaped medians on 1900 West?
Pros Neutral Cons
Signage
● Important for business success
● Critical component of “looks” in FBC
● Utah and International Sign Association found it
was detrimental to businesses
○ Omit FBC signage section
○ Use current code for signage
How to connect?
● Electronic meetings/communication--
difficult for free flow of ideas and
discussion
● Need face to face town hall. Important for
such a major proposal
Conclusion
● Work on notification! Inform and include--business/property owners,
citizens
● Define goals we hope FBC to accomplish
● Can we modify current FBC to achieve goals without “leaving a trail of
destruction in its wake”?
● Consider “Mixed use option”. Available for developers project by project
● We definitely need more TIME!
