MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission DATE: June 9, 2023 FROM: Kris Nilsen, Cathy Brightwell RE: Request to Change Text Regarding Accessory Structure Heights __________________________________________________________________________________ Background Jeremy Broderick, at 1451 N 950 West (Ranches at Lakeside), is located in the R-1-22 zone and has petitioned the Commission to consider modifying the current accessory structure height regulations. The purpose of his request is to modify the setback chart (attached) to allow for increased height with smaller setbacks, while not changing the overall height allowed in each zone. A description of the request is summarized below. Mr. Broderick wants to build a garage that will store his RV, which requires a 14 ft garage door. Given the space he has available on his lot and the current setback requirements, he is unable to build a structure that meets his needs. He notes that because he is on a corner lot, his rear yard faces his neighbor’s side yard. The neighbor’s home (or any home) can be up to 35 feet high 10 feet from the property line, yet his accessory structure is limited to a height of 24 feet at the same 10 foot setback. Until a couple years ago, accessory structure heights were approved by the planning commission on a case by case basis as part of a conditional use permit application. As a result, several of his neighbors have accessory structures similar to what he is asking for that do not meet current code. Summary of Request Mr. Broderick is seeking a text change to the accessory building height/setback regulations as proposed below: • The side/rear setback can be reduced if the structure has a Hip style roof. (see attached diagram) a. The side/rear setback to the peak of the roof (not wall) will be measured from the property line. b. The side/rear setback to the wall will be measured from the property line and can be shorter than the setback measurement to the peak. c. The minimum side/rear setback to the exterior wall is 6 ft. Discussion • The current regulations are intended to reduce the impact of tall buildings to neighbors. • The distance from the property line to the peak is the same under both scenarios. The difference is the distance of the wall from the property line. • The line of site (view) at a 12 ft height is the same for both scenarios. • The line of site (view) at a 6 ft height is slightly more obstructed. Staff Recommendation If the Commission believes there is merit in considering the request, or a variation of the request, staff recommends a public hearing be scheduled for the next meeting. 550 North 800 West, West Bountiful, UT 84087 (801) 292-4486 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission DATE: June 9, 2023 FROM: Cathy Brightwell, Kris Nilsen RE: Home Occupation Business License Uses _______________________________________________________________________________ Background The city council recently discussed the need to clarify what types of business qualify as home occupations. The city’s commercial zones list uses that are permitted, conditional, and prohibited. Residential zones do not currently exclude any businesses from consideration for home occupations. If it is determined that a home occupation business may conflict with the intent of the Home Occupation regulations without imposing additional conditions, a conditional use permit review by the planning commission is required. In some cases, this process satisfactorily addresses situations where businesses can be successful and not negatively impact the neighborhood, but there are some businesses that should not qualify as home occupations based on traffic, parking, noise, safety, health, and visual effects, etc. Discussion A home occupation is defined in code as “any occupation conducted within a dwelling and carried on only by persons residing in the dwelling, which is clearly incidental and secondary to the use of the dwelling and for which a Home Occupation Business License has been issued by West Bountiful City.” Staff reviewed ordinances from surrounding cities and found that many include a list of prohibited uses. After our review, we have identified several types of businesses that the city may want to prohibit from becoming home occupations, as shown on the attached exhibit. These uses, by nature of the investment or operation, have a pronounced tendency once started to increase beyond the limits permitted for home occupations and thereby impair the use and value of a residentially zoned area for residential purposes. Staff Recommendation The attached proposal is intended for further review and discussion. 550 North 800 West, West Bountiful, UT 84087 (801) 292-4486 WBMC 5.28 HOME OCCUPATIONS 5.28 Home Occupations 5.28.010 Definitions 5.28.020 Purpose; License Required 5.28.030 Application For License 5.28.030 Specific Businesses Prohibited 5.28.040 Requirements 5.28.050 Exemptions To License 5.28.060 Noncompliance; Revocation And Suspension Of Permit 5.28.070 Home Occupation Business License Renewal And Delinquency 5.28.080 License Not Transferrable 5.28.010 Definitions "Home occupation" means any occupation conducted within a dwelling and carried on only by persons residing in the dwelling, which is clearly incidental and secondary to the use of the dwelling and for which a Home Occupation Business License has been issued by West Bountiful City. 5.28.020 Purpose; License Required The purpose of this chapter is to protect the residential character and lifestyle of residential zones within West Bountiful City.

Conditional Use Application for Home Occupation for Auto Italia Repairs at 638 N 660 W 26 27 Commissioner packets included a memorandum dated May 19, 2023, from Staff regarding a review of 28 the home occupation and conditional use applications for Auto Italia auto repair business with attached 29 Conditional Use Permit application, Home Occupation Permit Application, site plans and marked 30 exhibits. These applications were initially presented to the planning commission on January 24, 2023, 31 but tabled when it was determined the applicants did not reside on the property. The applications were 32 again presented on May 9, 2023, after applicants took possession of the home. As there was a tie vote 33 by the four members present at the planning commission meeting on May 9, 2023, the conditional use 34 application was tabled until a full commission was available. 35 36 Cathy Brightwell briefly reviewed the details of the updated application. 37 1. The applicants now reside at the property. 38 2. The only employees of the proposed business are the two owners. 39 3. Customers are by appointment-only between 10 am and 5 pm, Monday through Friday. 40 4. They intend to use 500 square feet of the 2,000 square feet detached shop for auto 41 repair/business purposes, which they estimate is enough room to work on two vehicles.

At least two spaces of off-street parking for residents must be designated on the property. 57 2. At least one space of off-street parking for customer drop off or pick up must be designated to the 58 south or east side of the shop. 59 3. Customers seeking services may be parked in a designated off-street parking space for a maximum 60 of one hour, all other customer vehicles awaiting services must be parked inside the shop. 61 4. All auto repairs must be performed in the allotted space (25%) inside the shop. 62 5. Owners to provide city staff a current list of personal vehicles showing they are registered or have 63 title in owner’s name. This list must be kept current as vehicles change. 64 6. No outdoor storage of inoperable vehicles is allowed on the property, regardless of ownership. 65 66 Detrimental Effect 2: Commercial traffic disturbs the residential neighborhood. 67 1. Business deliveries of supplies and materials will be limited to 3 times per day. 68 2. Customer drop-off and pick-up is limited to a total of 3 times per day. 69 3. Tow truck deliveries will be limited to indoor parking availability and may only be between the 70 hours of 8 am and 6 pm Monday-Friday. 71 a. Alternative: No customer vehicles may be delivered by tow truck. 72 73 Detrimental Effect 3: Environmental & Safety Issues. 74 1. All businesses must meet state and federal environmental quality requirements for auto repair 75 businesses, including but not limited to the following: 76 a. Collect and contain vehicle fluids as required; 77 b. Use a licensed company to collect oil, anti-freeze, and other vehicle fluids; 78 c.

No additional business equipment will be added without notice to the city for verification of 88 storage limits. 89 3. No signage for the business. 90 4. No employees that do not reside in the home. 91 5. Planning Commission review of neighborhood impact after the first six months of license. 92 93 Staff added they would like to do periodic inspections, after reasonable notice and with the owner 94 present, as they see a need. 95 96 Steve Doxey noted that if the planning commission feels the proposed conditions will mitigate the 97 anticipated detrimental effects of the home occupation business, they are required to approve it. If 98 reasonable conditions cannot mitigate the detrimental effects, the request can be denied. 99 100 There was discussion on several of the anticipated detrimental effects and proposed conditions. 101 Commissioner Mitchell stated that similar to regular home deliveries there is no control over time or 102 type of deliveries by Amazon and other such carriers. Applicant stated that auto parts deliveries, like 103 O’Reilly, can be scheduled and controlled when orders are placed. 104 105 Laura also commented that staff inspections would be a good way to monitor the success of the 106 conditions, but she does not want staff inundated with neighborhood complaints forcing them to 107 conduct more inspections than needed. She is also concerned that numerous complaints made by the 108 same people on a regular basis could be a problem. 109 110 Steve Doxey informed the commission that the city is the one to determine when an inspection is 111 needed. Staff can continue to monitor neighbor complaints, but they will not always trigger inspections. 112 As far as adding a condition that staff conduct random inspections, Mr. Doxey noted that staff already 113 has that authority, so it is not needed as a separate condition. 114 115 Corey Sweat suggested combining delivery conditions to make them more clear. Some discussion took 116 place, and it was agreed that regular carriers like UPS, Amazon, and Fed Ex delivering personal items to 117 the home are not included in the condition. 118 119 Commissioner Butterfield stated that he struggles with this issue in many ways. He is concerned about 120 the impact to the neighborhood of an auto repair business operating in a residential area, but after 121 studying the law and similar cases, he learned that documented findings have to be found in order to 122 deny the permit. As long as conditions can be placed on the applicant to mitigate the impact, the 123 request needs to be approved. He looked at the emails he has received complaining about the business 124 and noted that no documented facts were presented that provide a reason for denial. All the 125 detrimental effects were addressed and with the proposed conditions they should be solved. 126 127 Dennis Vest said he has thought hard about his negative vote at the last meeting and comments that we 128 should not be denying someone’s ability to make a living, but he is concerned that the 25% allotted 129 space (500 square feet) is not sufficient or realistic. He visited several commercial auto repair businesses 130 to determine the minimum space required to work on two vehicles. The owner of the first shop he 131 visited stated that 660 square feet would be the minimum they would want to have. The second shop 132 said that 900 square feet would be his minimum. The third shop owner reported that his minimum 133 would be 1600 square feet for safety reasons. Mr. Vest asked the shop owner what the biggest problem 134 he has in his business. He responded that parking is always an issue because of delays in receiving parts, Page 3 135 customer’s paydays, vacations, etc. He added that he didn’t think it was reasonable to believe delivery 136 of products could be controlled. 137 138 Commissioner Vest further stated that some of the conditions cannot be reasonably enforced. He does 139 not think it is a good location to run this type of business in a residential neighborhood. He stated that 140 the city does not have the resources to monitor such a business and the conditions placed on it as part 141 of issuing this permit. He wants to see the applicants succeed but he does not believe they can in this 142 location and with the conditions being placed on the business. 143 144 Action Taken: 145 Corey Sweat made a motion to approve the home occupation and conditional use permit for Auto Italia 146 located at 638 N 660 West for Aimee & Adan Hinojosa with the finding that the conditions to be imposed 147 will mitigate the reasonably anticipated detrimental effects of the proposed use and accomplish the 148 purposes of the Conditional Use section in West Bountiful Code (WBMC 17.60). The following Conditions 149 will be imposed: 150 1. At least two spaces of off-street parking for residents must be designated on the property. 151 2. At least one space of off-street parking for customer drop-off or pick up must be designated to the 152 south or east side of the shop. 153 3. Customers seeking services may be parked in a designated off-street parking space for a maximum 154 of one hour, all other customer vehicles awaiting services must be parked inside the shop. 155 4. All auto repairs must be performed in the allotted space inside the shop as shown on Exhibit B. 156 5. Owners to provide and maintain a current list of personal vehicles showing they are registered or 157 have title in owner’s name and maintain an updated list of personal vehicles every 3 months. 158 6. Tow truck deliveries, customer drop-off and pick up and business deliveries of supplies and 159 materials will be limited to 3 times per day and may only be between the hours of 8 am and 6 pm 160 Monday-Friday, with the exception of any personal common carrier deliveries. 161 7. All businesses must meet state and federal environmental quality requirements for auto repair 162 businesses, including but not limited to the following: 163 a. Collect and contain vehicle fluids as required; 164 b. Use a licensed company to collect oil, anti-freeze, and other vehicle fluids; 165 c. All vehicles waiting for work and those with work in progress must be on concrete or asphalt 166 surface that stop fluids from entering the ground. 167 8. Site activities must comply with federal and state EPA Storm Water regulations. 168 9. Owner must provide evidence of compliance with fire codes and any other applicable building 169 codes, and the building/property must remain in compliance. 170 10. Business equipment and vehicles in the detached shop will not exceed 25% of the total building 171 space (2000 sf x 25% = 500 sf). 172 11. No additional business equipment will be added without notice to the city for verification of 173 storage limits. 174 12. No signage can be used for the business. 175 13. No employees that do not reside in the home. 176 14. Planning Commission review of neighborhood impact after the first three months of license. 177 15. Upon reasonable notice, the city can inspect the premises periodically with the owner present. 178 179 Laura Mitchell seconded the motion. Chairman Malan called for a roll call vote. The Motion passed with 180 a vote of 4 to 1, as shown below: 181 Dell Butterfield- Aye Corey Sweat- Aye Laura Mitchell- Aye 182 Dennis Vest- Nay Alan Malan- Aye Page 4 183 184 4. Consider Meeting Minutes from May 9, 2023. 185 186 Action Taken: 187 Corey Sweat moved to approve the minutes from May 9, 2023, as presented. Dell Butterfield seconded 188 the motion and voting was unanimous in favor. 189 190 5. Staff Report 191 192 a. Engineering (Kris Nilsen) 193 • Public Works building is being carpeted and the inside completed so move in can begin next 194 month. Asphalt should go down in two weeks. 195 • The Spring clean-up went well, and people seemed to like the new location. 196 • No flooding issues. Some water was backing up on the east side of Legacy Parkway at 1200 197 North because it couldn’t get through, but it has improved. 198 • Google Fiber is still working on clean-up. City will do inspections and hold their feet to the 199 fire to make sure everything is completed and done well. 200 • Pre-construction meeting on the upcoming water line project was held and they expect to 201 begin in a few weeks. They will make sure park access and the parade are not affected for 202 the 4th of July events. 203 204 b. Community Development (Cathy Brightwell) 205 • Moderate Income Housing Strategy report is due in August. Strategy # 1 (Station Area Plan) 206 is being handled by Duane. Moderate Income housing is required in locations within a 207 certain proximity to a transit station, like the Woods Cross FrontRunner station. The 208 affected area in West Bountiful includes the Holly Frontier Refinery which is not ideal for 209 housing. A study has to be done in order to be exempt from that requirement and the city 210 just found out it is getting a $30,000 grant to do the study.
