He indicated that there are a lot of schools and it is a very heavily trafficked road. He expressed concern about a traffic light being added to the Mountain View Corridor/3500 South because there is a significant amount of traffic in the area that is becoming increasingly problematic. Mr. Bertoch stated that UTOPIA is trespassing on private property and he feels that residents need to be made aware of this and their rights. He added that their workmanship has been poor. He stated that on-street parking is a significant problem in his neighborhood and he is concerned that firetrucks will not be able to access streets in the event of an emergency.

Lorraine Wallace stated that there have been numerous drive by shootings and other gang related activities in her neighborhood, particularly along 3240 South. She stated that Scottsdale Park is in her neighborhood and children, families, and other residents are too afraid to use the park because gangs use it to conduct business. Ms. Wallace stated that the gang issue in the City is out of control and her neighborhood is asking for help because they no longer want to live in fear and the constant gunfire is putting lives at stake. Ms. Wallace stated that she feels a lot of issues stem from apartment complexes.  MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – APRIL 17, 2018 -3- Holly Haymond stated that she lives next to railroad tracks in the City and indicated that she would be in favor of establishing a quiet zone.

ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION Z-3-2018, FILED BY TEANCUM PROPERTIES, LLC, REQUESTING A ZONE CHANGE FROM 'A' (AGRICULTURE) TO 'M' (MANUFACTURING) FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 6885 WEST 2100 SOUTH Mayor Bigelow informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular Council Meeting scheduled April 17, 2018, in order for the City Council to hear and consider public comments regarding application Z-3-2018, filed by Teancum Properties, LLC, requesting a zone change from 'A' (Agriculture) to 'M' (Manufacturing) for property located at 6885 West 2100 South. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included Information as follows: Teancum Properties, LLC has requested a zone change for 22.65 acres located at 6885 West 2100 South from A (agriculture, minimum lot size ½ acre) to M (manufacturing). Surrounding zones include A, agricultural to the south, and M, manufacturing to the east and west. This parcel borders Salt Lake City to the north and the zoning there is OS, Open Space. Surrounding land uses include vacant undeveloped land to the north and east, a well drilling business, Kilgore Paving and concrete recycling to the west, and salvage yards and undeveloped land to the south. The property is designated as heavy manufacturing in the West Valley City General Plan. In 2012, Teancum Properties, LLC received conditional use approval for their current location at 2215 South 7200 West (C-45-2012). At this time, they would like to expand their operations and have therefore requested to rezone a parcel that is located to the north east of their existing facility. The office space, maintenance shop and employee parking are located at the current site, and they would like to use this additional space to store more imported and exported aggregate goods, recycled used materials (concrete, asphalt, building materials and metals) and some heavy trucks, trailers and equipment. MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – APRIL 17, 2018 -4- If the property is rezoned then the use will need conditional use approval from the Planning Commission to establish the appropriate conditions of approval and required site improvements for the intended use. The applicant is also currently working with the Army Corp of Engineers to determine if there any designated wetlands at this location and what portion of the property can be used. Given the General Plan designation of heavy manufacturing, the neighboring uses and zoning the M Zone seems appropriate for this property. Councilmember Buhler added that this portion of property is slight north of the 201 freeway. Mayor Bigelow opened the Public Hearing. Kelly Bertoch stated that he is concerned about air quality. He asked if this will add additional odor to the community. Mayor Bigelow closed the Public Hearing. ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 18-10, AMEND THE ZONING MAP TO SHOW A CHANGE OF ZONE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 6885 WEST 2100 SOUTH FROM 'A' (AGRICULTURE) TO 'M' (MANUFACTURING) The City Council previously held a public hearing regarding proposed Ordinance 18-10 that would amend the zoning map to show a change of zone for property located at 6885 West 2100 South from 'A' (Agriculture) to 'M' (Manufacturing). Nicole Cottle stated that this type of use is very heavily regulated by the State and the County. She indicated that many components, from the soil to the environmental output, are monitored regularly. Councilmember Buhler stated that this is a zone change to manufacturing which is common in this area. Councilmember Fitisemanu asked if there is any indication that the two properties in the area will connect at any point. Jody Knapp, Planning and Zoning, replied that there is no indication of this at this time though it may be possible in the future. Councilmember Buhler asked if a road will be required to connect the two properties if the other is ever purchased. Jody replied yes. Councilmember Fitisemanu asked what the County zoning is. Jody replied OS, open space. Councilmember Lang asked if this proposed long term. Jody replied that is their designation. Councilmember Buhler asked if this is part of the proposed inland port proposal. Jody replied yes.  MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – APRIL 17, 2018 -5- Upon inquiry by Mayor Bigelow there were no further questions from members of the City Council, and he called for a motion. Councilmember Lang moved to approve Ordinance 18-10. Councilmember Huynh seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken: Mr. Fitisemanu Yes Ms. Lang Yes Mr. Buhler Yes Mr. Huynh Yes Mr. Christensen Yes Mr. Nordfelt No Mayor Bigelow Yes Unanimous. B. ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION GPZ-1-2018, FILED BY STAY WVC, LLC, REQUESTING A GENERAL PLAN CHANGE FROM GENERAL COMMERCIAL TO VERY HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (OVER 20 UNITS/ACRE) AND A ZONE CHANGE FROM C-2 (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) TO RM (MULTIPLE UNIT DWELLING RESIDENTIAL) Mayor Bigelow informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular Council Meeting scheduled April 17, 2018, in order for the City Council to hear and consider public comments regarding application GPZ-1-2018, filed by Stay WVC, LLC, requesting a General Plan Change from General Commercial to Very High Density Residential (Over 20 Units/Acre) and a Zone Change From C-2 (General Commercial) to RM (Multiple Unit Dwelling Residential). Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included Information as follows: The subject property includes a large, vacant retail building (formerly Kmart), Jiffy Lube, Transmasters and Club Rendezvous. According to the Salt Lake County Assessor, these buildings were built in 1968, 1977, 1979 and 1974 respectively. The business license for Kmart was terminated on 2/8/2017. MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – APRIL 17, 2018 -6- The applicant is planning to redevelop most of the property into a residential development with 430 apartments and 21 townhomes. The apartments would be housed in a single building varying between 6 to 7 stories. The proposed townhomes are two stories. The proposed density of the project is 43.8 units/acre. The Kmart building, Transmasters and Club Rendezvous would be demolished and the Jiffy Lube would remain. The property along most of the frontage of Redwood Road and 4100 South is being reserved by the owner for commercial development. The amount of parking proposed meets City requirements. The attached concept plan and application materials from the applicant provide details on and support for the proposed project. The proposed project exceeds City standards for useable open space, unit sizes, amenities and other features. Amenities/features will include a swimming pool, courtyard, community room with full kitchen, garages, secured key card access, business center, on-site manager, fitness room, private balconies, decorative precast concrete fencing on the site perimeter, entry feature, tot lot, hot tub, shared roof patios, basketball court, bicycle storage and covered pavilions. Interior finishes include solid surface countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms, full size washers and dryers in each unit, 9’ ceilings, stainless steel appliances, walk-in closets in the master bedroom, built-in microwave ovens and 2 tone paint. Mayor Bigelow opened the Public Hearing. Laura Thackery stated that she is an opposition to the proposed development. She indicated that there are 18 apartment complexes in district one and 524 apartment units available. Ms. Thackery passed out a document of her research (attached to the minutes). She indicated that she feels the development will significantly impact local streels with the increase of traffic. Ms. Thackery stated that when events occur at the Maverik Center, her street experiences a significant amount of traffic as it is. She added that the intersection of Redwood Road and 4100 South is extremely dangerous and quoted various articles that spoke to accidents, etc. Ms. Thackery provided detailed statistics of traffic and pedestrian accidents, crime, crime reports, KSL news reports of crime in the area, etc. She stated that she doesn’t feel that the City will be capable of meeting the needs that this type of development will bring to the area including Police Officers, Fire Department Officers, Ordinance Officers, water/service, etc. David Barker stated that he lives about a half mile away from the proposed MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – APRIL 17, 2018 -7- apartment complex. He indicated that he was thankful for the opportunity to speak with City staff who were helpful and provided any information he needed. He stated that public meetings were provided to residents as well which he was appreciative of. Mr. Barker stated that the neighborhood doesn’t want high density housing but added that no interest in a high box store has been expressed by any large company which seems to indicate that this will not happen. He stated that he feels there are worse developments that could go here and something needs to be built to prevent derelict buildings with dead bodies. Mr. Barker stated that he is afraid that the owner will sell this to someone else who will construct something much less desirable and if the standards that are proposed are enforced, he feels this will be a favorable project. Ann Olsen stated that she lives in Taylorsville but lives near this project. She encouraged the City to pursue another avenue with something that is more in line with what currently exists in the area. Joan Wildon requested that the Council vote no on this project. She stated that there is not enough parking provided in the plan and apartment dwellers will park on City streets instead. Ms. Wildon indicated that a lot of crime and police issues already arise from the nearby apartments and adding this many units will simply escalate that which will create a need for more Police Officers. She added that fire issues will also become a significant concern. Ms. Wildon indicated that people who live in apartments don’t make a City successful. She stated that the developer of the property wants a 7-story apartment building because they want more money, not because they want to make a better City. Sandra Hensley stated that the she is opposed to this proposal. She indicated that nobody likes the vacant property but this is a quick solution that won’t be good for the community. Ms. Hensley stated that the construction of this apartment complex is a way for the developer to make money. She indicated that residents who live here want to improve the City and another apartment complex will bring too many people. She added that she couldn’t find an example of a 7-story apartment building in the valley. Al Jeppson stated that it took 5 years to get an audio signal in place for his deaf friend to safely cross at Redwood Road and 4100 South. He indicated that he is concerned this type of use will generate too much foot traffic which will cause a pedestrian safety concern in the area. He indicated that there isn’t enough transit in this location to make this type of project successful. Jim Call stated that he has lived near this area for over 30 years. He stated that it has changed from a minor thoroughfare to a major one and the community will not MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – APRIL 17, 2018 -8- benefit from this addition. He indicated that children won’t benefit from it and a project like this will cause additional stress on the Police Department. Jim Davis expressed concern about the notice for the project only being extended to residents who live within 300 feet of the proposal. He stated the he doesn’t see the need for more high density in the area and indicated that he feels it will only increase crime which is a huge concern in the area as it is. Mr. Davis stated none of the Councilmembers will be affected by this project but he has a lot to lose. He added that he would like to see a branch of the Community College built here or something where no additional traffic is generated after hours. Kelly Bertoch stated that he grew up in this area as a teenager. He stated that he feels staff is pushing developers to building high density and expressed concern that the City is so involved in the project. Mr. Bertoch stated that the crime in this area will only increase and traffic will be pushed to the West. He indicated that the City doesn’t have the infrastructure to handle such high density. Jennie Olson indicated that she was hoping this property would be bought by something like a Smiths Marketplace. She stated that she, and her neighbors, often got to Taylorsville to shop because there are no options in the City for them to do so. Ms. Olson stated that she would rather the City wait for a project that will improve shopping on the east side of West Valley than construct a high rise now. Brett Holmes stated that great changes have occurred elsewhere in the City but this area has fallen apart. He indicated that crime and traffic has skyrocketed and nothing is being done to improve the quality of life in this community. Mr. Holmes stated that he feels unsafe to go to Valley Fair Mall and has seen SWAT standoffs, home break-ins, and officer involved shootings in his neighborhood. Mr. Holmes stated that money won’t help the community and people will leave because they don’t feel safe here. Rich Day, Stay Capital, stated that he is the developer but is not the current property owner. He indicated that he wants to buy the property with the hope and thought of improving it. He indicated that he grew up in West Valley City and has a deep connection to the City as well. Mr. Day stated that the current owner can do an indoor swap-meet or change the property into storage units under the current zoning but this won’t help the area. Mr. Day stated that he feels this proposal will set the bar and help the area begin to improve. He indicated that the large retail companies, like Smith’s Marketplace, Home Goods, Home Depot, etc. were all approached and all said that they were not interested in this property. Mr. Day indicated that he wants to purchase the land and invest 60 million dollars into improving it and increasing its value. He talked about how Sugarhouse has improved under this same MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – APRIL 17, 2018 -9- method. Mr. Day discussed interior and exterior amenities and stated that City staff pushed for the absolute best product. Mr. Day stated that he has met with UDOT and UTA and has evaluated bike routes and other transit options for residents. He added that the amount of rent charged will bring a high quality person and indicated that this type of development will bring about a positive change in the neighborhood. Mayor Bigelow asked why such a high density is being proposed. Mr. Day replied that this is what is needed to purchase the land and develop it for an appropriate and fair price point. Mayor Bigelow asked how these apartment units will be different. Mr. Day replied that these apartment units will exceed what it is currently in the market with an all-around higher end product in both interior and exterior amenities. Mayor Bigelow asked how many parking units there are. Mr. Day replied that there will be approximately 700 parking stalls which equates to 1.7 units per stall. Councilmember Lang asked if there are other products that Mr. Day has completed that prove this is adequate parking. Mr. Day replied that the average for his developments are 1.5 per unit and discussed the purpose and dynamics of this which include encouraging transit. He discussed other projects throughout the Western United States. Councilmember Lang stated that transit isn’t a strong option here and she is concerned that parking will be a problem. She noted it has been a problem elsewhere in the City. Councilmember Fitisemanu asked if a different ratio of townhomes to apartments has been considered. Mr. Day replied yes but indicated that the cost of land is too great for less density. Councilmember Christensen asked who will manage the apartments. Mr. Day replied Horizon Living and indicated that they manage others they have developed extremely well including some in Orem. Councilmember Christensen noted that it’s very important to have a well-managed apartment complex and indicated that this makes a big difference. Kelly Larsen stated that she has never seen apartment units bring property values up in a community. She indicated that she is supposed to live in a Single-Family neighborhood but West Valley City already cannot enforce rental units in homes in her own neighborhood. She stated that this new apartment complex won’t be enforced and it will simply contribute to the decline of the community. Ms. Larsen stated that she has had drugs thrown in her backyard, graffiti on her fence, and is too frightened to let children play in her yard. She stated that this is a bad neighborhood. David McEwan stated that he is an active member in the community including the PTA and the Planning Commission. He stated that he is concerned about the safety of the children in the community and encouraged the Mayor and Council to attend Board Meetings. Mr. McEwan stated that the intersection of 4100 South and Redwood Road is very dangerous and there are ways that the City can work to make them safer. He indicated that Code Enforcement needs to be held accountable and MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – APRIL 17, 2018 -10- encouraged sidewalk/curb/gutters to be completed. Mr. McEwan stated that Development Agreements help apartments and other developments abide by higher standards. Brad Barn stated that his main concern is the safety of children and the community. He stated that schools in the area are filled and he wants to ensure that there are safe ways for children to walk to their appropriate schools. Mr. Barn stated that he loves this community and wants his children to be able to grow up in a safe and happy environment. Mayor Bigelow closed the Public Hearing. ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 18-11, AMEND THE GENERAL PLAN TO SHOW A CHANGE OF LAND USE FROM GENERAL COMMERCIAL TO VERY HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (OVER 20 UNITS/ACRE) FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1770 WEST 4100 SOUTH ON 10.3 ACRES The City Council previously held a public hearing regarding proposed Ordinance 18-11 that would amend the General Plan to show a change of land use from General Commercial to Very High Density Residential (Over 20 Units/Acre) for property located at 1770 West 4100 South on 10.3 acres. Mayor Bigelow asked if there is an anticipated difference in traffic numbers at this location from a commercial project versus a high density residential one. Steve replied that a commercial project is anticipated to have a 15% higher traffic volume based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers study. Mayor Bigelow stated a lot of safety concerns were expressed by the community and asked if this is something City staff looked into. Steve replied that staff reviewed calls for Police service in a few different situations. The first were two single family neighborhoods, Sugar plum and Meadow Breeze. There were 1-1.4 calls per unit in those areas. The second was the Fairbourne Station Apartment Complex next to City Hall which had a .7 call per unit ratio. Mayor Bigelow asked why these apartments would attract more residents. Steve replied it has unique amenities, parking garage, key card access, elevators, etc. Councilmember Fitisemanu asked if this is the only imminent proposal at this point. Steve replied that this is our understanding from the property owners. Mayor Bigelow indicated that he has only seriously regretted 2 votes on his time working with the City Council and one of those was for the Hunter Town Center. He stated that the residents in the area were opposed to the proposal and he took that into high consideration but because he voted “no”, that area will continue into deterioration. Mayor Bigelow stated he is opposed to high density generally and agreed that apartment complexes are generally high in crime. He added, however, that a lot of those apartments have owners who are out of state and are large MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – APRIL 17, 2018 -11- buildings with small units. Mayor Bigelow stated that he has considered the proposed improvements, the inclusion of townhomes, commercial, and a high-end apartment complex, and has asked himself several questions. Will this proposal be better for the area than an indoor swap-meet? Will it provide a safer and improved environment? He indicated his answer is yes. Mayor Bigelow stated that traffic will be a concern but he feels that improving this property will encourage the surrounding area to improve as well. He indicated that staff has worked on the project for four years and looked at many different options and this is the best proposal that can be done for the area. Councilmember Buhler stated that the Council has read minutes, taken calls, read emails, carefully studied materials and the area, etc. He indicated that the City took over from the County and has had to build and develop over things that were done before its time. Councilmember Buhler stated that the City is over 35 square miles and it offers a lot of variety in many different ways, including housing. He stated that high end housing has been a priority of the Council and the City is beginning to see the positive impacts of those changes. Councilmember Buhler indicated that the City is not developing this property and added that the City has limited authority over it, just as it has limited authority over what it can do over each individual’s property as well. He stated that City staff has worked hard to get retail or other development here but have been unsuccessful. Someone has come and proposed apartments and the City responded that these apartments must be the best apartments that there are. Councilmember Buhler stated that he feels this project will revitalize the area and will provide an opportunity for people to live here. Councilmember Huynh thanked staff for their hard work and thanked the residents for coming to share their concerns. He listed several crimes that have occurred in the area over recent years and indicated that a lot of bad things have happened here. Councilmember Huynh stated that he feels high density is directly related to these issues and he doesn’t feel more of it is beneficial to the community. Councilmember Lang stated that parking is one of her biggest issues. She indicated that this is one of the finest developments in the City but wished it was located nearer Trax. Councilmember Lang stated that she doesn’t feel the density is appropriate for this area. Councilmember Fitisemanu stated that he used to live in this area and some of his family lives here still. He indicated that when he went to college, he moved to a very nice apartment complex that reminds him strongly of this proposal. However, he feels that it was located in an appropriate place with the right transit and he is concerned that this doesn’t quite have the complete package. Upon inquiry by Mayor Bigelow there were no further questions from members of MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – APRIL 17, 2018 -12- the City Council, and he called for a motion. Councilmember Buhler moved to approve Ordinance 18-11. Councilmember Christensen seconded the motion.
