ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION GP-1-2018, FILED BY WEST VALLEY CITY, REQUESTING A GENERAL PLAN CHANGE TO REMOVE CORPORATE PARK DRIVE FROM THE GENERAL PLAN MAP AND MAJOR STREET PLAN BETWEEN LAKE PARK BOULEVARD AND 2400 SOUTH Mayor Bigelow informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular Council Meeting scheduled July 17, 2018, in order for the City Council to hear and consider public comments regarding application GP-1-2018, filed by West Valley City, requesting a General Plan Change to remove Corporate Park Drive from the General Plan Map and Major Street Plan between Lake Park Boulevard and 2400 South. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: West Valley City Planning staff is requesting a change to the General Plan to remove Corporate Park Drive between Lake Park Blvd. and 2400 South from the General Plan Map and Major Street Plan. This planned road segment runs through vacant property owned by Suburban Land Reserve (SLR) and crosses the Riter Canal. The southern portion of the property is designated as Large Lot Residential (2 to 3 units/acre) in the General Plan and is zoned A-2 (agriculture, minimum lot size 2 acres). The northern portion of the property is designated as Light Manufacturing in the General Plan and is zoned M (manufacturing). Given the proximity to the Stonebridge Golf Course, Highbury amenities and services, and canal buffer, the southern portion of the affected property has the potential to be developed as a higher end residential subdivision. MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – JULY 17, 2018 -4- There is already interest in developing the northern portion of the affected property as light industrial. If Corporate Park Drive was developed as currently planned it would, in staff’s view, detract from the quality residential environment possible on the southern portion of the affected property by introducing truck traffic. About ½ mile to the west, 5370 West connects Lake Park Blvd. with 2400 South. In this area, light industrial is on the north side of the canal and commercial is on the south side of the canal. Truck traffic to and from the northern portion of the SLR property will still be able to access Bangerter Highway, 5600 West and SR-201 via 2400 South. Mayor Bigelow opened the Public Hearing. There being no one to speak in favor or opposition, Mayor Bigelow closed the Public Hearing. ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 18-29, AMEND THE GENERAL PLAN TO REFLECT THE MAJOR STREET PLAN AND GENERAL PLAN MAP REVISION LISTED The City Council previously held a public hearing regarding proposed Ordinance 18-29 that would amend the General Plan to reflect the Major Street Plan and General Plan Map revision listed. Councilmember Fitisemanu clarified that this is not an existing street and is a planned one that is simply being removed from the master plan. Wayne replied yes. Upon inquiry by Mayor Bigelow there were no further questions from members of the City Council, and he called for a motion. Councilmember Fitisemanu moved to approve Ordinance 18-29. Councilmember Buhler seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken: Mr. Fitisemanu Yes Mr. Buhler Yes Mr. Huynh Yes Mr. Christensen Yes Mayor Bigelow Yes  MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – JULY 17, 2018 -5- Unanimous. B. ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION S-8-2018, FILED BY DREW MENLOVE, REQUESTING FINAL PLAT APPROVAL FOR THE BUSINESS VILLAGE CONDOMINIUMS-AMENDED LOCATED AT 2722 SOUTH REDWOOD ROAD Mayor Bigelow informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular Council Meeting scheduled July 17, 2018, in order for the City Council to hear and consider public comments regarding application S-8-2018, filed by Drew Menlove, requesting Final Plat Approval for the Business Village Condominiums-Amended located at 2722 South Redwood Road. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: The original condominium plat was approved by the City in 1998. The subdivision consisted of 6 pad sites on 2.4 acres of property. To date, 3 of the 6 buildings have been constructed. Due to a lack of interest in these remaining pad sites, the applicant has submitted an application to vacate the unused pad sites and re-plat the area with one larger pad site. The intended use for the new building will be inside storage for larger recreational vehicles. If the amended plat is approved, the applicant will be required to submit a permitted use application for the modified site. Building requirements, parking and landscaping will be evaluated as part of that process. Staff did receive one call from the adjacent land owner to the west. Concerns were expressed about the potential land use. Staff explained that this application is not a site plan review, and that concerns related to the building, parking, etc., would be handled by a separate permitted use application. This application will modify the recorded plat by eliminating 3 pad sites and will create one new larger pad site. Mayor Bigelow opened the Public Hearing. Drew Menlove, the applicant, stated that he is open to answering any questions. There were none. Mayor Bigelow closed the Public Hearing.  MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – JULY 17, 2018 -6- ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 18-30, APPROVE THE AMENDMENT OF BUILDINGS B, C, AND D OF THE BUSINESS VILLAGE CONDOMINIUMS The City Council previously held a public hearing regarding proposed Ordinance 18-30 that would approve the amendment of buildings B, C, and D of the Business Village Condominiums.

Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: Each year West Valley City receives grant funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the CDBG program.

The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Salt Lake County HOME programs fund West Valley City with annual amounts to run programs pertaining to Low-Moderate income individuals and families. Estimated CDBG Program Income (PI) generated from the CDBG Home Rehabilitation Program paybacks, will be approximately $25,000. PI offsets the funds allocated to West Valley City CDBG program from HUD and must be reinvested into the CDBG program’s eligible projects. The Public Service projects and the Administration costs are capped by HUD, with no more than 15% of the total allocation going to Public Services projects and no more than 20% going toward Administration and operating expenses. West Valley City has a CDBG Committee in place, which currently has 7 members consisting of both knowledgeable staff and West Valley City residents, as directed by HUD. The Committee goes through an extensive process and each member dedicated over 10 hours to hearing individual agencies present their projects/programs, interviewing the agencies, reviewing applications and meeting to discuss funding requests. These recommendations presented to City Council are those that, by vote of the CDBG Committee members, ranked highest and that the Committee members feel will be most impactful to residents, making the best use of funds received, staying in line with both the City’s 5-year Consolidated Plan goals and HUD’s direction.
