MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
DATE: March 15, 2024
FROM: Staff
RE: Home Occupation Ordinance
__________________________________________________________________________
The purpose of this memo is to provide the latest ordinance for consideration regarding updates to the
Home Occupations code.
Background
Over the past year, the planning commission and city council have engaged in rigorous discussions about the
Home Occupations code. The planning commission forwarded a draft ordinance in September 2023 to the
city council, which the council tabled for further discussion. In October 2023, the city council and planning
commission held a joint meeting to discuss the work to that point. On January 23rd, 2024, the planning
commission voted to forward an updated draft ordinance to the city council for consideration. The council
reviewed that draft in February and tabled it for further deliberation.
The attached ordinance uses the latest planning commission draft as its foundation and makes additional
changes based on staff consultation with council members.
Highlights
The following elements are highlights of the updates:
1. Titles 5 and 17 of the city code are better synchronized regarding the definition and regulation of
home occupations.
2. The zoning administrator will be the primary staff member responsible for reviewing home
occupations.
3. Notice requirements are updated so that written notice of proposed home occupations is only
required for conditional uses; otherwise, a general notice will be posted on the property for regular
home occupations.
4. Use regulations are clarified related to impacts beyond property lines, the storage of flammable
materials, large vehicles/equipment, the allowable floor space for the use, times of deliveries, etc.
5. The list of “prohibited” businesses was shortened from the planning commission’s recommendation,
but automotive repair and other automotive uses as well as welding was added.
6. Child care and kennels (in the A-1/A-S zones) were added as conditional uses.
If the council is ready to adopt, an ordinance has been prepared for this purpose. The council may also
choose to continue work on this issue for final adoption at a later date.

prohibit any other requirements of this title, the West Bountiful Municipal Code, or other applicable laws.
5.28.020 Purpose; License Required
The purposes of this chapter are to protect the residential character and lifestyle of residential zoning
districts within West Bountiful City, to ensure that home occupations remain incidental and accessory to

home occupation business license is required before any property may be used for a home occupation.
5.28.030 Application For License
A. A home occupation business license application may be obtained from the city offices or from the
city website. Each application shall be submitted to the city recorder If the zoning administrator
determines that the combined offsite impact of the proposed home occupation and the primary
residential use of the property will materially exceed the offsite impact of the primary residential use
alone, the application must be accompanied by payment of a business license fee. The city may also
charge an administrative fee if the applicant requests a business license
B. It is unlawful for any person to provide false information to the city in relation to the application for,
issuance of, or continuation of, a business license, or to knowingly cause or permit the same to be
done.
C. The applicant shall give notice of the nature and description of the proposed home occupation by
posting a notice in front of the property on which the home occupation is to be conducted for no less
than seven days immediately preceding the submission of a home occupation business license
application. For home occupations that require a conditional use permit, the applicant must also give
written notice of the nature and description of the proposed home occupation to owners of property
within 300 feet of the exterior boundaries of the property on which the home occupation is to be
conducted. The applicant must provide evidence of the required posting and written notice, if
applicable, as part of the home occupation business license application.
D. The application will contain the applicant’s written agreement to allow the city to enter upon and
inspect the property at all reasonable times (1) to ensure the requirements of this chapter have been
met before the license is issued, and (2) to verify compliance thereafter.

C. The home occupation shall not involve using or storing flammable material, explosives, or other
dangerous materials, including gun powder.
D. The home occupation shall not involve the parking or storage of equipment or motor vehicles having
a gross weight of fourteen thousand (14,000) pounds or more at the residence or on the street
adjacent to the property on which the home occupation is conducted.
E. The home occupation must be clearly incidental and secondary to the use of the dwelling or
accessory structure in which it is located and may not change the purpose or character of the dwelling
or accessory structure, or the residential character of the property on which the home occupation is
located.
F. The home occupation shall not involve the use of any part of a dwelling or structure for which, by
reason of state, federal or local laws, special or extra entrances or exits or special rooms are required
as a condition to the operation of such use.
G. More than one home occupation business license may be issued for a property, if after review, the
zoning administrator specifically determines that the total of all businesses on the property will not
have an impact on the community greater than one business.
H. The home occupation must be conducted entirely within the dwelling, except that twenty-five percent
(25%) of a garage or accessory structure on the same property as the dwelling may also be used.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
DATE: March 15, 2024
FROM: Staff
RE: 660 W Capital Project Discussion
_______________________________________________________________________________
This memo is intended to introduce the topic of 660 W design options for discussion a t the Ma rch 19
council meeting.
Ba ckground
The FY 24 budget included funding for a ma jor ca pita l improvement project on 660 W from 400 N to
1000 N, including repla cing the ma in wa ter line, rebuilding the roa d, a nd the insta lla tion of storm
wa ter a nd curb/sidewa lk improvements tha t a re not currently on the roa d.
The budget wa s ba sed on very prelimina ry engineering estima tes. The size a nd scope of these
improvements necessita ted significa ntly more engineering design work to develop more a ccura te cost
estima tes. Additiona lly, sta ff recommends more discussion a nd community outrea ch rela ted to new
improvements such a s sidewa lk on both sides of the roa d.
New Improvements
When considering how new public improvements a re insta lled in the city, it is importa nt to consider
the policy a nd cost implica tions. These a re the prima ry wa ys new improvements a re insta lled:
A. When development occurs. This is most common when subdivisions a re built or undeveloped
la nd is built on. In these ca ses, the developer (a nd by extension the homeowner) pa ys the
costs of the new sidewa lks, roa ds, wa terlines, etc.
B. Improvement Districts. When a n a rea is a lrea dy developed, or mostly developed, a nd the
residents a re interested in a n improvement like sidewa lks or storm wa ter improvements, a
specia l limited improvement district a dministered by the city ca n be crea ted for ta xing or
bonding purposes so tha t there is a n efficient wa y for these residents/neighborhoods to fund
the improvements. This ha s ra rely, if ever, been used in West Bountiful.
C. City Funded. When the city decides tha t improvements a re a significa nt benefit to the
community, it uses city or gra nt money to fund the project. Exa mples of this in West Bountiful
include Pa ges La ne, 800 W, a nd portions of 1100 W. These a re usua lly ma in corridors used by
residents.
When designing 660 W, the council should consider whether it is in the community’s interest to pa y for
sidewa lk on both sides of the roa d.
550 North 800 West, West Bountiful, UT 84087 (801) 292-4486
Options
At the meeting on Ma rch 19th, sta ff will present the following options (with a few other va ria tions) a nd
newly refined budget estima tes:
1. Full improvements (sidewa lk, curb, gutter, storm wa ter, roa d, a nd wa ter line). $3 million
(origina lly budgeted a t $2.2 million)
2. Sidewa lk on west side of roa d (a nd a ll other improvements). $2.2 million
3. Current improvements (wa ter line, roa d, no sidewa lk/curb). $1.8 million
Moving Forwa rd
After the council ha s a cha nce to review, discuss, a nd confirm a preferred option, sta ff recommends
scheduling a neighborhood meeting with residents to get a dditiona l input on design options.
Afterwa rds, a fina l decision ca n be ma de a nd a bid pa cka ge prepa red for the project to begin in ea rly
2025.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor & Council
DATE: March 15, 2024
FROM: Duane Huffman
RE: FY 2024/2025 Budget 1st Look
__________________________________________________________________________
At the March 19th meeting I will present to the council a first look at next year’s city budget. The final
numbers won’t be ready until the day of the meeting, but in general the council can anticipate the
following assumptions:
Overall
• Revenue estimates will likely be flat (in the best case scenario) or slightly down.
• Expenditures continue to feel inflationary pressure.
• The combination of these two will likely mean a projected shortfall.
• The city has a healthy fund balance, in part to weather times like these, but it should be very
prudent in how it is used.
Options
In preparing draft budgets, city staff will be looking at the following strategies:
• Limiting expenditure growth and looking for additional cost cutting methods.
• Potentially deferring some one-time costs, such as the purchase of equipment.
• Reviewing how major items are funded. For example, some part of the debt service on the
new public works facility may come from other funds such the Capital Projects Fund and/or
the Water Fund.
• In general, the strategy will be to balance the need to not fall too far behind in certain
expense categories while also not creating a situation where even when revenues recover
they will not be enough to handle expenses.
Other Items
• There is likely a need to look at garbage fees based on a few years’ worth of increases from
the Wasatch Integrated Waste Management Districts and the city’s hauler.
• Capital Projects. Even with operating revenue not doing great, the city will still have
available funds for road, water, and parks projects.
• Council Priorities: Staff will be seeking input from the council on areas and projects of
interest to use when developing draft budgets.

33 3. Consider Request to Defer Installation of Public Improvements for Hugoe Subdivision
34 at 1448 W 400 N
35
36 Kris Nilsen explained that the Hugoe Subdivision has received preliminary plat approval
37 from the planning commission. He then discussed how the owner of the subdivision had
38 submitted a request to defer subdivision improvements like cubs, sidewalk, and road
39 widening. Based on the current status of the road and the likelihood of future development to
40 the west, staff’s recommendation is to grant the deferral. Council member Butterfield asked
41 if deferring the improvements would cost the city more, and Kris responded that costs would
42 likely be lower for everyone if the improvements eventually go in with a larger project.

57 Addison Jenkins gave a brief overview of the South Davis Sewer District annexation request
58 and the process. At this point, accepting the petition allows the process to continue, and the
59 council would later have the opportunity to either grant or deny the annexation. Council
60 member Ahlstrom asked why the Sewer District was interested in this annexation. Duane
61 Huffman explained that the Sewer District is doing an expansion, and both the district and
62 the county would prefer the entire plant be in West Bountiful under one land use jurisdiction.

74
75 Duane Huffman explained that the city had budgeted to buy 4 police vehicles, along with the
76 selling of 3 vehicles. It was previously estimated that the 4 vehicles would cost $166,000. He
77 explained that unfortunately the cost of the 4 new vehicles is higher than anticipated, costing a
78 total of $210,980. Council member Butterfield asked about a purchasing policy for police
79 vehicles. Duane explained that there was not a formal policy, but rather schedules that were
80 reviewed and adjusted each budget cycle, and that a formal policy is something the city could
81 create. Duane emphasized how much the supply chain shortage has affected purchasing
82 vehicles over the last couple years. Assistant Chief Wilkinson explained that 3 reserve
83 vehicles are necessary because of maintenance and accidents. Council member Ahlstrom
84 shared his opinion that it is better to buy now when they are available then risk them not being
85 available next year. Duane said that staff would bring a vehicle purchasing policy back for
86 the council’s review.

101 Ahlstrom asked about potential tournaments, and asked if companies would be able to cater
