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.

greater mix of uses in locations that provide transportation options and access to needed services.
17.42.020 Applicability
The Housing in Certain Commercial Areas Overlay (HCCO) shall be applied only to the C-H and C-G zones
along 500 West, 400 North, and 500 South. Approval of the HCCO constitutes a rezone, which may be
approved or denied in the City Council’s sole discretion. The HCCO includes the uses currently allowed in the
underlying zone (C-H or C-G), plus residential uses as described in this chapter. All of the regulations of the
underlying zone apply, subject to the more specific or restrictive requirements of this chapter.
17.42.030 Development agreement
All applicants receiving HCCO approval shall be required to enter into a development agreement with the City
to assure that the development negotiated and defined during the rezone process and required by this
chapter is reflected in the actual construction and maintenance of the project.
17.42.040 Uses
In addition to the uses allowed in the underlying zone, townhome, multi-family residential, and mixed-use
buildings shall be permitted in the HCCO pursuant to the requirements and procedures of this chapter.
17.42.050 Site design requirementsguidelines
The following guidelines will be used by the City in reviewing proposals. Applicants must explain and justify
any proposed deviations.

units in a rowhouse
configuration, usually
divided into lots for
ownership purposes.
Townhomes may be
located in a one- to
three-story building
consisting of three to
eight attached
dwelling units and may
be arranged in groups
of such buildings. This
building type can
include live/work
units, which shall be
specified in the
development Townhome examples
agreement. Private
garages are requiredrecommended and shallshould be located at the rear of the building,

units or be a for rent product.
Multi-family examples
3. Mixed Use – General retail, office,
and residential uses vertically
integrated in the same building that
features consistent approaches to
lighting, landscaping, signage,
building design, and materials use.
Intended for a mix of primarily
residential use with retail or
commercial office uses located on
the first floor.
Mixed-use examples
5
10/14/2021 – Alternate A
D. Windows. In mixed-use buildings, windows (including windows in doors) shall should cover a
minimum of 50 percent of the front first story face. For all other building types and facades of a
mixed-use building, windows (including windows in doors) shall should cover at least 25 percent of
all facades.
E. Balconies. For the residential portions of buildings, one balcony shall should be constructed with a
minimum of sixty (60) square feet per unit. Terraces and ground level porches and patios of similar
size shall could also be permitted and shallwould count toward the balcony
requirementrecommendation.
F. Entrances. Entrances shall shouldl be recessed or covered to provide shelter from inclement
weather. Porte cocheres are also permitted.
G. Parking Requirements.
1. Location of Parking and Parking Garages. Parking for a multi-family residential or mixed-use
building shallshould be located underneath, within (as in podium-style parking), to the side, or
to the rear of the building. An above or partially above grade parking garage within the interior
of a building having more than 20 residential units, if located within 50 feet of a public right-of-
way, shall should include commercial uses that wrap the street-facing façade. No visible
podium parking is allowed recommended fronting on 500 West, 400 North, 500 South or 1100
West unless such parking is wrapped with commercial uses on the street-facing facade. 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 should 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 should 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 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. Where a mixed-
use building is proposed, a conveniently located permanently attached bike rack
accommodating a minimum of four bikes per building is required recommended 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 should be governed by Chapter 17.48, except all illuminated signs shall should have
downward directed and shielded lighting. Only monument signs and signs on the building are
allowedrecommended.
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

the first floor.
Mixed-use examples
5
9/17/2021 – Planning Commission Recommendation
D. Windows. In mixed-use buildings, windows (including windows in doors) shall cover a minimum of 50
percent of the front first story face. For all other building types and facades of a mixed-use building,
windows (including windows in doors) shall cover at least 25 percent of all facades.
E. Balconies. For the residential portions of buildings, one balcony shall be constructed with a minimum
of sixty (60) square feet per unit. Terraces and ground level porches and patios of similar size shall
also be permitted and shall count toward the balcony requirement.
F. Entrances. Entrances shall be recessed or covered to provide shelter from inclement weather. Porte
cocheres are also permitted.
G. Parking Requirements.
1. Location of Parking and Parking Garages. Parking for a multi-family residential or mixed-use
building shall be located underneath, within (as in podium-style parking), to the side, or to the
rear of the building. An above or partially above grade parking garage within the interior of a
building having more than 20 residential units, if located within 50 feet of a public right-of-way,
shall include commercial uses that wrap the street-facing façade. No visible podium parking is
allowed fronting on 500 West, 400 North, 500 South or 1100 West unless such parking is
wrapped with commercial uses on the street-facing facade. 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.

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

66 6. 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.

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.

171 seconded the Motion which PASSED by unanimous vote of all members
172 present.
173
174 ------------------------
