MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission DATE: August 18, 2023 FROM: Cathy Brightwell, Kris Nilsen RE: Home Occupation Business License Uses _______________________________________________________________________________ This memo continues the discussion of home occupation regulations and uses as previously considered by the planning commission at its June 9, July 25, and August 8, 2023, meetings. The attached exhibit incorporates those comments and makes additional suggestions to provide a basis for continued discussion. Background The city council has asked the planning commission to review zoning and home occupation regulations and propose recommendations to eliminate conflicts. They also suggest a determination of the types of businesses that can be allowed as home occupations and those that should be prohibited. Summary of Previous Discussions Updates related to previous discussions are shown on the attached Exhibit in red, and items still needing attention are highlighted in yellow. The draft has been submitted to Mr. Doxey for legal review. Additional Discussion Items One item still requiring discussion has to do with private schools in residential areas. Staff was asked to review the previous decisions that were made when the topic was considered in 2022. At its April 26, 2022 meeting, the planning commission discussed a proposal to consider places of worship or primary schools (private, parochial, and homeschool pods) as conditional, or to define quasi-public uses as “a use operated by a private non-profit, educational, religious, recreational, charitable, or philanthropic institution; generally, such uses have the purpose of primarily serving the public, such as churches, private schools, universities, and similar uses.” The planning commission decided to deny the proposed text change. They said it is not about the city not wanting a private school, but about finding a location that fits. They said there is likely a place within the city for this type of application and they are willing to give it more consideration in a different location that does not cause disruption to a residential area. At its May 3, 2022, meeting, the city council also denied the request for text change and directed the planning commission to explore where private schools might be allowed in the city, including defining the terms public/quasi-public and/or creating an overlay zone specific to the use. The suggestion for an overlay zone was thought to be a way to limit the area needed and have specific parameters tied to the use. An additional use for consideration is storage units/facilities. If businesses are allowed in garages or accessory structures, can a resident rent out space for personal storage, vehicles, boats, trailers, etc., if it complies with the square footage restrictions? 550 North 800 West, West Bountiful, UT 84087 (801) 292-4486 Exhibit August 18, 2023 WBMC 17 ZONING 17.04.030 Definitions "Home occupation" means an occupation of a person which is carried on by that person and/or others within the same family entirely within the dwelling unit in which the person or persons reside and which occupation is clearly incidental and secondary to the use of the dwelling for dwelling purposes and does not change the character, of the dwelling or of the neighborhood. The home occupation shall not involve the use of any accessory building, either attached or detached, or yard space or activity outside the main building or use of more floor area than the equivalent of fifteen (15) percent of the main floor area of the dwelling unit, nor shall it involve the installation in the dwelling of special equipment and/or fixtures, and plumbing or electrical wiring or such special fixtures or equipment which are not ordinarily or customarily used in a dwelling; provided, however, that outside private swimming pools may be used for swimming instruction if the instruction is given only by members of the family related by blood, marriage or adoption who are residing within the dwelling. Neither shall a home occupation involve the use of any part of a dwelling for which, by reason of any state, federal or local law or ordinance, special or extra entrances or exits, or special rooms are required as a prerequisite condition to the operation of such use or for which such laws or ordinance require a license or permit. The planning commission may impose additional conditions pursuant to a conditional use permit. ---------------------------------- WBMC 5.04 BUSINESS LICENSES IN GENERAL 5.04.010 Definitions “Business” means all activities engaged in within the corporate limits of West Bountiful carried on for the purpose of gain or economic profit, except that employees rendering service to employers shall not be considered to be engaging in business unless otherwise specifically prescribed.

This memo begins the discussion on whether they are a good fit for West Bountiful and if so, what protections and regulations should be considered. Background - ADUs, within or attached to a single-family dwelling, have been allowed for many years in West Bountiful. - The Utah Legislature has promoted ADUs as an alternative housing option. - Surrounding cities have adopted regulations to allow detached ADUs (Bountiful, North Salt Lake, Farmington, Layton) - The General Plan encourages consideration of a variety of housing types to be able to meet the needs of a variety of residents. Goals include meeting the demands of all stages of the life cycle, including starter and senior housing, where appropriate, including ADUs. Listed benefits include providing affordable rental housing and allowing first-time homeowners to gain access to homes that would otherwise be out of reach by renting out an additional unit. Why Should Detached ADUs be Considered? - Allow opportunities for property owners to provide social support for family members where independent living is desirable. - Provide for affordable housing opportunities. - Make housing units available to moderate income people who might otherwise have difficulty finding homes within the city. - Provide opportunities for additional income to offset rising housing costs. Staff is looking for guidance from the planning commission on what direction to take as it begins to research the issue. For example, 1. Allow D-ADUs in all residential areas or limit them to certain areas of the city? 2. If allowed, should size be limited? For example, maximum 1200 sf? 3. If allowed, should there be a limit as to how many on a property? 4. Similar to existing ADUs, should owner be required to live on property? 5. What kind of parking requirements should there be? 6. Should there be architectural design requirements? 550 North 800 West, West Bountiful, UT 84087 (801) 292-4486 1 West Bountiful City August 8, 2023 2 Planning Commission Meeting 3 PENDING – NOT APPROVED 4 Posting of Agenda - The agenda for this meeting was posted on the Utah Public Notice website, on the 5 West Bountiful City website, and at city hall on August 4, 2023, per state statutory requirement. 6 Minutes of the Planning Commission meeting of West Bountiful City held on Tuesday, August 8, 2023, at 7 West Bountiful City Hall, Davis County, Utah. 8 Those in Attendance: 9 MEMBERS ATTENDING: Chairman Alan Malan, Commissioners Corey Sweat, Dennis Vest, Dell 10 Butterfield, Laura Mitchell, and Council member Kelly Enquist. 11 STAFF ATTENDING: Cathy Brightwell (Recorder) and Debbie McKean (Secretary).

Home Occupation Business Regulations and Uses. 24 25 Commissioner packets included a memorandum dated August 4, 2023, from Kris Nilsen and Cathy 26 Brightwell regarding Home Occupation Business License Uses with an attached redline Exhibit of 27 affected sections of the West Bountiful Municipal Code previously considered by the planning 28 commission at the June 9, and July 25, 2023, meetings. The exhibit blends those comments and suggests 29 additional ideas to provide a basis for continued discussion. 30 31 The planning commission reviewed and discussed the entire Exhibit and after much discussion created a 32 list of conditional and prohibited uses for Home Occupations. A new definition of Home Occupation, 33 Purpose, and Scope was also added, along with other clarifications. Changes are listed below. 34 35 5.04.010 Definitions 36 “Home Occupation” means a business operated in a dwelling or structure on a residential property by 37 the resident of the property. 38 39 5.28.010 Purpose The purpose of this chapter is to ensure that home occupations remain incidental and 40 accessory to the residential use within the dwelling or on the dwelling site and that any coincidental 41 nuisance remains within the dwelling or on the dwelling site. 42 1 43 5.28.020 Scope 44 The requirements of this Chapter shall apply to any home occupation conducted within the city.

Some discussion took place regarding whether to require a written notification of consent from the 55 property owner in the case of a renter applying for a home occupation license. Dennis Vest felt it should 56 be in writing. Cathy Brightwell pointed out that that information is currently required on the application. 57 Corey Sweat stated that the rental agreement between the renter and property owner should be the 58 vehicle used and that it should not be the responsibility of the city. The majority of commissioners 59 concurred that a written statement of approval from the property owner is not necessary. 60 61 5.28.040 Specific Businesses to be Conditional 62 Notwithstanding any provision of this chapter to the contrary, the following uses are conditional, and 63 require a conditional use permit approved by the planning commission prior to issuance of a business 64 license, except when on-site operations are limited to office related functions. 65 1.
