MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission
DATE: May 23, 2024
FROM: Addison Jenkins
RE: Moderate Income Housing Plan – Parking Ordinance Draft
_______________________________________________________________________________
This memo continues the planning commission’s work on amending the city’s parking ordinances to help
provide moderate income housing.
Background
In 2022, a new state law required West Bountiful City to amend its general plan to select three strategies to
provide a realistic opportunity to meet the need for additional moderate-income housing within its
jurisdiction in the near future. To help accomplish its moderate-income housing goals, the city selected the
following 3 strategies from options provided by the state:
1. Develop and Adopt a Station Area Plan
2. Amend Land Use Regulations to Eliminate or Reduce Parking Requirements for Residential
Development Where a Resident is Less Likely to Rely on the Resident’s Own Vehicle, such as
residential development near major transit investment corridors or Senior Living facilities.
3. Reduce, Waive, or Eliminate Impact Fees related to Moderate Income Housing.
In order to facilitate opportunities to increase moderate-income housing in West Bountiful, the city began
work in 2023 by amending its parking requirements in accordance with Strategy 2. Updates to the city’s
parking code included defining minimum parking spaces for dwelling units in residential and mixed-use
buildings and zones, and opportunities for a reduction in requirements for developments within a ½ mile
public transit.
Per State law, the city must continue to work towards the selected strategies each year and demonstrate
these additional efforts. Once work is done on the strategy, the general plan will be amended again to select
additional strategies, which staff anticipates in 2024-2025.
Further Parking Strategies
At the March 12th meeting, commission members and staff discussed several ways to decrease parking
requirements that might contribute to reductions in housing costs.
• Residential Health Care Facilities
• Senior Living Facilities
• Guest Parking Requirements
550 North 800 West, West Bountiful, UT 84087 (801) 292-4486
• Transit-adjacent Multi-family Residential
On May 14th, the planning commission reviewed an initial draft parking ordinance prepared by Citi Design
and provided significant feedback. The comments and requests from that discussion have been
incorporated into this draft.
Conclusion
Any new edits from this meeting’s discussion will be incorporated into a final draft for the planning
commission to consider at their next meeting, June 11th, along with a public hearing, before forwarding the
draft recommendation to the city council for consideration and adoption.
The city’s report is due to the state Department of Workforce Services Division of Housing and Community
Development by August 1st.

RE: Ivory Homes PUD Application
_______________________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
Ivory Homes has submitted a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Overlay application for a 120-lot
residential subdivision on 2 parcels they own extending west of 1450 W along the north and south
sides of 400 N. The property is a combined 110.098 acres located in the A-1 zone.
Staff has reviewed the initial submittal and found many requirements for a PUD application to be
missing, as is detailed in the attached response. Representatives from Ivory Homes have received
the city’s request for a complete and more comprehensive application, but still expressed interest
in attending the planning commission meeting to engage in an initial discussion about the proposed
project with the city. The materials they have submitted are included in this packet.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) OVERLAY SUMMARY
PUD Overlays are a type of rezone. A density bonus is requested as part of this PUD application, as
well as several deviations from Title 16 and Title 17 standards regarding street design and storm
drains, among others. Where there are deviations from city code, a development agreement with
project CCRs and their attachments would become the equivalent “zoning code” if a PUD Overlay
request is approved. A PUD Application has 12 requirements (A – L) detailed in 17.68.020 that are
included in the staff response to Ivory Homes attached to this memo.
550 North 800 West, West Bountiful, UT 84087 (801) 292-4486

Incomplete: Please provide your plan to meet these requirements.
4. Vehicular and Pedestrian Access. Adequate vehicular and pedestrian access must
be provided. A traffic impact study may be required, as part of the preliminary
PUD Overlay plan, to project auto and truck traffic generated by the uses
proposed. The traffic impact study shall be prepared by a registered traffic
engineer, unless otherwise expressly waived by the City. The traffic study shall
include, as a minimum, an analysis of on-site circulation, capacities of existing
streets, number of additional trips which will be generated, recommended traffic
flow enhancements, origin/destination studies and peak traffic generation
movements.
Submitted: Traffic study currently under review.
11. Project considerations – all PUD requests will include the following, as applicable:
1. Open spaces. Preservation, maintenance and ownership of all open spaces within
the development shall be accomplished by either:
1. Dedication of land to the City as a public park or parkway system; or
2. Creation of a permanent, open space easement on and over private open
spaces to guarantee that the open space remains perpetually as open space
or as an agricultural or recreational use, as the case may be, with
ownership and maintenance being the responsibility of a corporation or
other association established with articles of association and bylaws or
similar rules, which are satisfactory to the City.
As part of the subdivision process for a PUD, the applicant shall submit a
detailed improvement plan indicating the landscaping, trails, facilities, and
other amenities proposed in the development. Upon approval of the
amenities package by the City Council, the applicant will be required to
complete all improvements in accordance with the development approval.

The meeting was called to order at 7:30 pm by Chairman Malan.
1. Confirm Agenda
Chairman Malan reviewed the proposed agenda. Laura Mitchell moved to approve the agenda as
presented. Dennis Vest seconded the motion. Voting was unanimous in favor among all members
present.
2. Discussion- Moderate Income Housing Plan- Parking
Commissioner packet included a memorandum dated May 10, 2024 from Addison Jenkins regarding
Moderate Income Housing Plan – Parking Ordinance Draft in a redline copy of Ordinance 17.52. prepared
by city staff and consultants at Citi Design.
Addison Jenkins introduced first draft of the Moderate-Income Housing Plan- Parking Ordinance draft.
He noted that there were other updates the consultants suggested for their review.
Tonight’s focus will be Strategy #2- Amend Land Use Regulations to Eliminate or Reduce Parking
Requirements for Residential Development Where a Resident is Less Likely to Rely on the Resident’s Own
Vehicle, such as residential development near major transit investment corridors or Senior Living
facilities.
Addison noted that updates to the city’s parking code included defining minimum parking spaces for
dwelling units in residential and mixed-use buildings and zones, and opportunities for a reduction in
requirements for developments within a ½ mile public transit. Per State law, the city must continue to
work towards the selected strategies each year and demonstrate these additional efforts. Once work is
done on the strategy, the general plan will be amended again to select additional strategies, which staff
anticipates in 2024-2025.
Chairman Malan does not want any other area addressed except for the Parking Requirements for
Residential Development. Commissioners concurred that they do not want to invite any change other
than minimal required changes as necessary.
Addison noted that nothing other than the Parking Requirements for Residential Development is
required. The consultants were merely making suggestions. He stated that once we have completed this
year’s strategy we are done with this section on parking.
Commissioners reviewed the redline copy of the ordinance and struck all items unrelated to Parking
Requirements for Residential Development. Some discussion took place regarding making changes to
the alternate parking spaces.
• It was decided to use 10 to 15% reduction if needed for item number 11 and 12.
• Commissioners want to strike #4 in red under item number 11.
• Change Item 12 to include language that reads adequate parking.
• Addison will check to see if we need to make change as to specific reductions.
