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 18-20 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 9/10/2021 – Planning Commission Hearing 4.

This property is in the Agricultural Specialty (A-S) District which lists public or quasi-public uses as a conditional use. A site plan showing the property and proposed buildings is attached. This seven acre parcel will also be the site for future biological treatment expansion and construction staging for SDSD as part of its regular business and is not part of this conditional use application. Sinc Constructors Co. has arranged a temporary lease of 2.25 acres of SDSD’s property within West Bountiful for the mixing, blending, and stockpiling of select topsoil. Of necessity, this mixing and blending needs to be done in a controlled (dry) environment, free from water, rain, snow, ice or other adverse environmental conditions. They plan to install a temporary agricultural structure or structures covering about 1-acre for this use. Additional activities may also include 1) providing fill on the site, 2) grading or leveling the property, 3) leaving a stockpile of topsoil for future landscaping, 4) landscaping, 5) storm water control, and 6) nursery or other agriculture operations. The Conditional Use ordinance, Section 17.60.040, requires the planning commission to consider whether: 1. The proposed use at the particular location is necessary or desirable to provide a service or facility that will contribute to the general well-being of the neighborhood and the community; 2. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity; 3. The proposed use and/or accompanying improvements will not inordinately impact schools, utilities, and streets; 4. The proposed use will provide for appropriate buffering of uses and buildings, proper parking and traffic circulation, the use of building materials and landscaping which are in harmony with the area, and compatibility with adjoining uses; 5. The proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in the land use ordinance for such use; 7. The conditions to be imposed in the conditional use permit will mitigate the reasonably anticipated detrimental effects of the proposed use and accomplish the purposes of this subsection. 550 North 800 West, West Bountiful, UT 84087 (801) 292-4486 Page 2 Staff recommends the following conditions be required with the granting of this conditional use permit: 1. No construction noise is to be detectible before 7:00 a.m. This is the same time frame construction noise is restricted throughout the city. 2. Dust control. 3. Light: Security and site lighting should be directed downward and not negatively impact neighboring properties. 4. Traffic: Access is limited to the frontage road west of Legacy Highway. No impact is expected due to increased traffic. 5. Upon issuance of this Permit, a West Bountiful City building permit be submitted for the structure(s). 550 North 800 West, West Bountiful, UT 84087 (801) 292-4486 1 1 West Bountiful City August 24, 2021 2 Planning Commission Meeting 3 PENDING – NOT APPROVED 4 Posting of Agenda - The agenda for this meeting was posted on the State of Utah Public Notice 5 website, on the West Bountiful City website, and at city hall on August 20, 2021 per state 6 statutory requirement. 7 Minutes of the Planning Commission meeting of West Bountiful City held on Tuesday, August 8 24, 2021 at West Bountiful City Hall, Davis County, Utah. 9 Those in Attendance: 10 MEMBERS ATTENDING: Chairman Alan Malan, Mike Cottle, Dee Vest, Corey Sweat, Laura 11 Mitchell. 12 13 STAFF ATTENDING: Kris Nilsen (City Engineer), Cathy Brightwell (Recorder), and Debbie McKean 14 (Secretary). 15 STAFF EXCUSED: Council member Kelly Enquist. 16 VISITORS: John Janson, Jake Young 17 18 The Planning Commission meeting was called to order at 7:30 pm by Chairman Malan. 19 1.

Final Draft of the Housing in Certain Commercial Areas Overlay Ordinance WBMC 26 17.42, Schedule Public Hearing. 27 28 Included in the commissioner’s packet was a memorandum from Staff dated August 20, 2021, 29 regarding Housing in Certain Commercial Areas Overly (HCCO) with a redline draft for final 30 review. 31 32 Cathy Brightwell noted that the planning commission has been working on the proposal to 33 allow housing in Certain Commercial Areas Overlay (HCCO) for several months, after being 34 directed by city council to research the issue and make a recommendation. The attached 35 redline draft includes suggestions made by commissioners at the July 9 meeting and by staff for 36 changes related to landscape percentages, building type definitions and pictures, and parking 37 for vehicles and bikes. 38 2 39 Ms. Brightwell reviewed the redline document with the commission regarding changes that 40 were made by staff and legal. Parking will be contained in its own section since it was the same 41 for all types of designs. Page 3 was altered to remove “pedestrian plaza every 250 feet” from 42 the picture, and new pictures of building types were added that are found in Utah. 43 44 There was discussion on the proposed document regarding parking, clear view area, 45 landscaping to include synthetic grass, height of parapet walls – will remain 4 ft, and bike racks 46 which will be clarified to be a minimum of four and will apply to residential and mixed use 47 buildings. Indoor bike storage/lockers are encouraged but not required. 48 49 Cathy Brightwell recommended that the city’s new landscaping ordinance, which is in progress, 50 include the HCCO landscaping requirements. That will be done when the city landscape code is 51 adopted. 52 53 A public hearing will be scheduled for September 14, 2021, to include the changes that were 54 discussed this evening. 55 56 4. Preliminary Review of New Landscape Regulations. 57 58 Commissioner packets included a memorandum dated August 20, 2021, from Cathy Brightwell 59 and Kris Nilsen regarding Water-wise Landscape Regulations with the following attachments: a 60 copy of the city’s current landscape ordinance with preliminary redlines, a copy of the Weber 61 Basin Water Efficient Landscape template, and Layton’s recently adopted Landscape ordinance. 62 63 Consideration: 64 Extreme drought conditions continue to plague the state and water issues are expected to 65 continue into future years. In an effort to manage the limited water supply in 2021, Weber 66 Basin Conservancy District implemented watering restrictions in June, and the West Bountiful 67 city council followed by adopting Resolution 496-21 implementing the same water restrictions 68 for 2021. The city recognizes water as a valuable resource that should be used wisely and as 69 efficiently as possible and supports conservation efforts to protect water supply inventories for 70 both present and future water needs. With 60% of residential water used outdoors, Weber 71 Basin has asked cities to update landscape ordinances to encourage water efficient landscape 72 regulations. 73 74 Cathy Brightwell introduced the preliminary documents for a new efficient landscape 75 ordinance. She pointed out that our current ordinance only focuses on landscape design plans 76 dealing with new developments and new construction. Staff would like to expand the code to 77 include both residential and commercial guidelines taking into consideration Weber Basin’s 78 Efficient Landscape template pursuing efforts to be more water-wise. She noted that both 79 Weber Basin and Layton included extensive lists of plants/trees which are probably not 80 necessary to be included in Code. The goal will be to keep it simple. 81 3 82 Cathy said she talked with Layton staff about their process and results. They shared that they 83 worked closely with Weber Basin but wish they had included USU early on to get a more 84 comprehensive view of what is needed. 85 86 Jake Young encouraged the commission to strongly consider every means possible to conserve 87 outdoor water usage as that is the biggest use of water for a household. He said he is on several 88 state committees regarding water and the situation is dire. Every city needs to be responsible 89 to do what they can to conserve. He mentioned low-scape as another optionto xeri-scape. 90 91 There was discussion of the redline draft and the following changes were requested. 92 - Strike most of paragraph 2 in 12.28.010 - Purpose as it is not necessary. 93 - Clarify different types of permits and the different types of landscape expected in 94 different zones. 95 - Move landscape regulations in each of the zones into this section of code. 96 - Eliminate what types of trees can be planted and create and reference a separate list 97 that will be easy to update. 98 - Update prohibited materials in parkstrips and drainage swales 99 - Consider a percentage be set for the front landscape and leave the rear yards to 100 property owners to decide. 101 - Set a maximum time period that front yard landscaping needs to be completed. 102 103 5.
