MEMORANDUM TO: City Council DATE: October 15, 2021 FROM: Staff RE: Housing in Certain Commercial Areas Overly (HCCO) Discussion _______________________________________________________________________________ This memo continues previous discussions on a draft ordinance creating a land use overlay that creates a framework for housing in the city’s commercial zones. Included with this memo is a new draft of the ordinance (Alternate A) that shifts the original draft’s requirements to recommendations on site and building design. BACKGROUND An overlay that would allow housing in commercial areas was discussed at the April 27, 2021, joint meeting with city council, and the planning commission was asked to work on the issue and make a recommendation. The city’s General Plan specifically calls out the 500 W and 500 S corridors as suitable locations for higher density housing to increase housing options. Additionally, changes are occurring in the retail industry (like the growth of on-line sales), and it is likely that in the future the city’s older retail areas will need additional re-development options. By taking the lead on this issue, the city can select the areas it deems more attractive for this type of housing while protecting its commercial base primary residential areas. PROPOSAL The city’s contract planning consultants, John Janson and Jake Young, prepared a draft proposal that introduces a framework to consider high density flexible housing types in the C-G and C-H zones along 500 South and 500 West, and opens a door for proposals for a greater mix of uses in locations that provide transportation options and more services. It should be strongly noted that the draft overlay zone does not make residential uses a permitted or conditional use in the commercial zones. Any project would still need to go through a legislative process that would be at the discretion of the city and subject to a development agreement. The planning commission has been working on this issue for several months. They held a public hearing on September 14 and recommended the ordinance to the council for approval. After a council discussion on September 21, staff modified the original draft as an option for the council’s consideration. The new alternate maintains all previous design requirements as recommendations. Any overlay would be approved through a legislative process, and this option offer more flexibility to the city council. 550 North 800 West, West Bountiful, UT 84087 (801) 292-4486 WEST BOUNTIFUL CITY ORDINANCE #449-21 AN ORDINANCE ADDING WBMC 17.44 HOUSING IN CERTAIN COMMERCIAL AREAS OVERLAY WHEREAS, Utah Code Annotated §10-9a-101 et seq., also known as the “Municipal Land Use, Development, and Management Act,” grants authority to the West Bountiful City Council to make changes to its Zoning Ordinances; and WHEREAS, the West Bountiful City General Plan Sections 2.2and 6.2 include goals related to creating opportunities for mixed housing types including multi-family and townhomes mixed-use in the city’s commercial zones; and WHEREAS, the West Bountiful Planning Commission held a properly noticed public hearing on September 14, 2021, and recommends the creation of a new land use overlay. NOW THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF WEST BOUNTIFUL THAT WBMC 17.44 BE CREATED AS SHOWN IN ATTACHED EXHIBIT A. This ordinance will become effective upon signing and posting.

All projects shall should provide additional guest parking spaces equal to one guest parking space for every four units. Any parking calculations that result in less than a whole number shall be rounded up. 3. To further evaluate the above parking space requirements for a particular project, the city may require an independent parking study where parking demand calculations exceed 50 spaces, shared parking is being considered, or the proposed use may impact previously calculated parking demands for adjacent uses. Any such study will be managed by the city but paid for by the developer. The city may adjust the above parking requirements recommendations consistent with the parking study’s conclusions to reflect such factors as shared parking and compatible uses. The Planning Commission shall make findings reflecting the study or discounting the study and may suggest modifications of the parking standards guidelines or simply leave the standards as-is. Parking stalls 9-feet by 20-feet are required recommended 6 10/14/2021 – Alternate A but a parking study could also address compact car spaces in terms of size and as a percentage of the overall parking. 4. Shared parking is encouraged based on a parking study, but recommended only for up to 30 percent of the parking demand. The development agreement shall include the terms of shared parking for both the existing uses and proposed new HCCO development. The shared parking requirement is for a minimum of ten years and shall be renewed thereafter. 5. Bike parking is encouraged for residential projects. Bike parking should be well lighted and secure, with a combination of indoor bike storage and exterior bike parking.

If an above grade or a partially above grade parking garage is incorporated into a building that is located more than 50 feet from a public street, any portions above ground shall be designed to complement the building in a manner that the parking garage is not readily discernable as such or is surrounded with a five foot-wide intensive landscape treatment that includes trees and shrubs covering at least 75 percent of each parking garage façade. 2. All projects of any building type shall provide the following minimum number of parking spaces: Studio apartments – 1 space per unit; One bedroom units – 1.5 spaces per unit; Two or more bedroom units – 2 spaces per unit. All projects shall provide additional guest parking spaces equal to one guest parking space for every four units. Any parking calculations that result in less than a whole number shall be rounded up. 3. To further evaluate the above parking space requirements for a particular project, the city may require an independent parking study where parking demand calculations exceed 50 spaces, shared parking is being considered, or the proposed use may impact previously calculated parking demands for adjacent uses. Any such study will be managed by the city but paid for by the developer. The city may adjust the above parking requirements consistent with the parking study’s conclusions to reflect such factors as shared parking and compatible uses. The Planning Commission shall make findings reflecting the study or discounting the study and may suggest modifications of the parking standards or simply leave the standards as-is. Parking stalls 9-feet by 20-feet are required but a parking study could also address compact car spaces in terms of size and as a percentage of the overall parking. 6 9/17/2021 – Planning Commission Recommendation 4. Shared parking is encouraged based on a parking study, but only for up to 30 percent of the parking demand. The development agreement shall include the terms of shared parking for both the existing uses and proposed new HCCO development. The shared parking requirement is for a minimum of ten years and shall be renewed thereafter. 5. Bike parking is encouraged for residential projects. Bike parking should be well lighted and secure, with a combination of indoor bike storage and exterior bike parking. Where a mixed- use building is proposed, a conveniently located permanently attached bike rack accommodating a minimum of four bikes per building is required for commercial patrons. 6. Residential portions of parking garages and structures, including carports, are strongly encouraged to include 220-volt outlets and associated infrastructure/conduit for personal vehicle charging. The suggested standard is one outlet for every ten residential units; however, the number shall be determined as part of the development agreement. 17.42.070 Signs Signs in the HCCO shall be governed by Chapter 17.48, except all illuminated signs shall have downward directed and shielded lighting. Only monument signs and signs on the building are allowed. 17.42.080 Application procedures A. General Requirements. An application for the HCCO is considered a rezone application subject to the rezone process provided in this chapter. The application shall be accompanied by a draft development agreement. The application, development agreement template, and their associated requirements are available online and at the city offices. B. Pre-application Conference. The applicant is required to have a pre-application conference with a member of the planning department and city engineer to ascertain the appropriate scope of the project and any additional information or reports that may be required in connection with the application and development agreement. The applicant is also encouraged to meet with the building official and the fire marshal to be advised of how building and fire code requirements may affect the proposed development. C. Required Studies. A geotechnical study is required for any proposed building over one story. A traffic study is required for projects with 50 or more residential units. D. Fees. In addition to the initial rezone application fee for the HCCO, the applicant will pay for any studies required as part of the approval process. All such studies will be procured and managed by city staff. Any unused funds will be refunded to the applicant or transferred to be used as payment toward other application fees, at the request of the applicant. For all proposed rezones and associated development plans, a complete application is required before authorization to proceed to the Planning Commission. E. Visual Presentation. If not provided as part of the proposed project application, the applicant shall provide for the review of the Planning Commission and the City Council a visual presentation, 7 9/17/2021 – Planning Commission Recommendation preferably using computer graphics, depicting the buildings to be constructed and siting for the proposed development within the context of existing, surrounding development. F. Planning Commission Review of Initial Rezone Application; Preparation of Proposed Development Agreement: 1. The initial application shall be referred to the Planning Commission for review and comment. 2. The City shall mail notice of an initial public hearing to owners of property within 300 feet of the proposed project. 3. The Planning Commission shall make a recommendation to the City Council of approval, approval with modifications/conditions, or denial. Such recommendation shall include any recommended changes/modifications to the draft development agreement. 4. If approval is recommended, the planning department, with the assistance of the city attorney and the concurrence of the applicant, shall prepare a second draft of the development agreement. F. City Council Review and Public Hearing: 1. If city staff and the applicant cannot concur on the terms and conditions of a proposed development agreement, the applicant may prepare and submit their own proposed development agreement, addressing all the required information and any proposed changes contrary to the Planning Commission recommendation. Upon the submission of such agreement, and the submission of any other related project-specific plans requiring approval of the City Council, the application shall be scheduled and noticed for public hearing before the City Council. The City shall mail notice of the public hearing to owners of property within 300 feet of the proposed project. 2. City Council Public Hearing: The initial application, additional reports/information, and planning commission recommendation, together with the proposed development agreement and the complete submission of all other related, project-specific information requiring approval of the City Council, shall constitute a final application for the potential rezone. If approved by the City council, the rezone application and development agreement shall authorize the applicant to proceed with an administrative site plan process. If a subdivision is required, such as for a condominium project or to define a new lot, an administrative subdivision process will follow the approvals by the City Council. 8 WEST BOUNTIFUL CITY RESOLUTION #505-21 A RESOLUTION MODIFYING THE WEST BOUNTIFUL CITY CONSOLIDATED FEE SCHEDULE FOR BUSINESS LICENSE FEES WHEREAS, the West Bountiful City Council has previously adopted a consolidated fee schedule that lists fees for its direct and miscellaneous services to offset regulatory and administrative costs; and WHEREAS, it is important to review and update its fees periodically; and WHEREAS, it is necessary to update fees charged for business licenses to match changes in city ordinances and state legislation.

Ordinance 447-21, An Ordinance Amending WBMC 2.34 – Youth City Council. 37 38 Cathy Brightwell explained that the Youth City Council wants to make some changes to the 39 regulations included in WBMC 2.34 based on their current practices. During and after COVID, they 40 decided that monthly meetings were sufficient as long as they have the option to call additional 41 meetings when necessary. Changing the number of meetings impacts the attendance criteria so they 42 are suggesting a reduction there as well. They also believe the size of the Youth City Council 43 should not be limited, and are combining officer positions – Secretary, Web Administrator, and 44 Publicity Head to Secretary/Communications. If approved, the recommended changes will be 45 reflected in the amended Bylaws 46 WEST BOUNTIFUL Page 2 of 4 CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 5, 2021 47 MOTION: Rod Wood made a Motion to Approve Ordinance 447-21 As Proposed. 48 James Ahlstrom seconded the Motion which PASSED as reflected below. 49 50 James Ahlstrom – aye James Bruhn – Excused 51 Kelly Enquist – aye Mark Preece – aye 52 Rod Wood - aye 53 54 5.

Ordinance 448-21, An Ordinance Adding Landscape Supply as a New Use to the 67 Agricultural Specialty Zone. 68 69 South Davis Sewer District (“SDSD”) is considering a lease of 2.25 acres of parcel #06-031-0030 70 to Sinc Contractors to install a temporary agricultural structure to mix, blend and stockpile select 71 topsoil. A site plan showing the property and proposed buildings was reviewed on-screen. This 72 property is in the Agricultural Specialty (A-S) District and there is not currently a use that fits with 73 the proposed activities. 74 75 Sinc Constructors Co. explains that this mixing and blending of select topsoil needs to be done in a 76 controlled (dry) environment, free from water, rain, snow, ice, or other adverse environmental 77 conditions. They plan to install 1-2 temporary agricultural structures covering about 1-acre for this 78 use. Additional activities may also include 1) providing fill on the site, 2) grading or leveling the 79 property, 3) leaving a stockpile of topsoil for future landscaping, 4) landscaping, 5) storm water 80 control, and 6) nursery or other agriculture operations. Dust will be minimized as mixing operations 81 will be carried out inside the temporary structures and the material is protected from direct 82 exposure to wind. 83 84 Cathy Brightwell explained that the planning commission had no objection to adding a new use, 85 Landscape Supply, to this agricultural zone with regulations that protect this and neighboring 86 properties and are consistent with other areas of city code. The definition has been written to 87 prevent outside storage and gravel pit-type uses. A public hearing was held on September 28, 88 2021; no public comments were provided. 89 90 Steve Sowby, representing Sinc Constructors Co., reviewed the project and explained they are still 91 negotiating a lease with SDSD. 92 WEST BOUNTIFUL Page 3 of 4 CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 5, 2021 93 MOTION: James Ahlstrom made a Motion to Approve Ordinance 448-21 as presented. 94 Mark Preece seconded the Motion which PASSED as reflected below. 95 96 James Ahlstrom – aye James Bruhn – Excused 97 Kelly Enquist – aye Mark Preece – aye 98 Rod Wood - aye 99 100 7.

Mayor / Council Reports 136 137 Kelly Enquist – No report 138 WEST BOUNTIFUL Page 4 of 4 CITY COUNCIL MEETING October 5, 2021 139 James Ahlstrom – Youth Council decided not to hold an overnight event for their annual retreat. 140 Instead, they will have two activities, meals, and training. Christmas on Onion Street will be held at 141 city park following Santa’s tour of the city. The event will be during the day rather than nighttime. 142 Santa will collect letters from children and donations for the Bountiful Food Pantry rather than 143 having children sit on his lap. 144 145 Mark Preece – No report 146 147 Rod Wood – No report, but he asked how the city recognizes employees at Christmas. He suggested 148 a nice party, night out, or something similar. Mayor Romney encouraged him to participate in 149 planning the event with Mr. Huffman. 150 151 Mayor Romney – There was discussion as to the future of the city’s Elf Tree, a program that allows 152 residents to donate clothes and toys to local children at Christmas time. Due to the pandemic and 153 staffing challenges, the program was suspended in 2020 and residents were referred to the Bountiful 154 Food Pantry’s Sub for Santa program to make donations. The Mayor asked council members for 155 their thoughts. There was discussion about limited time resources of city employees and concerns 156 about how participants are selected. The community enjoys giving but they could be referred to 157 other organizations like the Food Pantry that handle donations for those in need. The Mayor took 158 the input and will work with staff on the future of the program for 2021. 159 160 Mayor Romney commented on the good turn-out for Meet the Candidates night which was higher 161 than in years past. There were good questions and answers and the audience seemed to appreciate 162 the event. 163 164 10. Closed Session Pursuant to UCA § 52-4-205. 165 166 No closed session was needed. 167 168 11.

James Ahlstrom 171 seconded the Motion which PASSED by unanimous vote of all members 172 present. 173 174 ------------------------ 175 176 The foregoing was approved by the West Bountiful City Council by unanimous vote of all members 177 present on Tuesday, October 19, 2021. 178 179 ___________________________________ 180 Cathy Brightwell, City Recorder 181
