ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION Z-9-2018, FILED BY WEST VALLEY CITY, REQUESTING A ZONE CHANGE FROM 'A' (AGRICULTURE, MINIMUM LOT SIZE 1/2 ACRE) TO 'C-2' (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3316 SOUTH 5600 WEST Mayor Bigelow informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular Council Meeting scheduled August 28, 2018, in order for the City Council to hear and consider public comments regarding application Z-9-2018, filed by West Valley City, requesting a Zone Change from 'A' (Agriculture, Minimum Lot Size 1/2 Acre) to 'C-2' (General Commercial) for property located at 3316 South 5600 West. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: West Valley City staff has submitted a zone change application for 1.01 acres of property located at 3316 South 5600 West. The parcel is currently zoned A (Agriculture, minimum lot size ½ acre) with a General Plan MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – AUGUST 28, 2018 -3- designation of office/education. The proposed zone is C-2 (General Commercial). The subject property serves as a storm water retention pond for the neighboring commercial development to the east. The property is surrounded by C-2 zoning. Surrounding land uses include Walmart to the north, a shopping center slatted for renovations to the east, vacant property to the south and vacant property to the west that will soon be developed as part of the Mountain View Corridor. Maintaining the current A zone would require the adjoining shopping center, which will soon be renovated, to install a masonry wall along the east side of the property. Where residential use on the subject property is not anticipated, a masonry wall would not serve the intended purpose of a screen and buffer for residential uses next to commercial. In fact, installing a wall here could create a problem in that the City has already seen vagrants on this property. Where the property is used as a retention pond for commercial development, C-2 zoning seems the most appropriate from staff’s perspective. 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. 18-31, AMEND THE ZONING MAP TO SHOW A CHANGE OF ZONE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3316 SOUTH 5600 WEST FROM 'A' (AGRICULTURE, MINIMUM LOT SIZE 1/2 ACRE) TO 'C-2' (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) The City Council previously held a public hearing regarding proposed Ordinance 18-31 that would amend the zoning map to show a change of zone for property located at 3316 South 5600 West from 'A' (Agriculture, Minimum Lot Size 1/2 Acre) to 'C-2' (General Commercial). Upon inquiry by Mayor Bigelow there were no further questions from members of the City Council, and he called for a motion. Councilmember Nordfelt moved to approve Ordinance 18-31. Councilmember Lang seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken: Ms. Lang Yes  MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – AUGUST 28, 2018 -4- Mr. Buhler Yes Mr. Huynh Yes Mr. Christensen Yes Mr. Nordfelt Yes Mayor Bigelow Yes Unanimous. RESOLUTION 18-156: AUTHORIZE THE PURCHASE OF A PUMP TRACK FROM AMERICAN RAMP COMPANY Mayor Bigelow presented proposed Resolution 18-156 that would authorize the purchase of a Pump Track from American Ramp Company. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: With the success of the skate park, including high demand from bicyclists, it has been determined that a pump track course should be located in close proximity to the skate park. This will increase the usable area of the skate park, reduce congestion, and increase safety for all participants. This will be a new element which will enhance the park for all wheeled users. As Centennial Park continues to be developed, it has been determined that a pump track should be installed. This pump track will help alleviate some congestion at the skate park and will add another element that would increase the draw to the skate park from users of all skill levels. Pump tracks are features that allow users to go around the track without putting a foot down or having to pedal a bike. It is all done through body control, balance and coordination. Because of this, a pump track is a fantastic way to help people become better users on whatever it is they choose to ride; be it a bike, board, scooter or skates. These ramps are modular in design, which will allow the shape of the track to be changed from time to time if desired. The new pump track and installation can be obtained from American Ramp Company using Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing contract number 030117- ARC. Councilmember Buhler stated he was excited for the skate park and is excited for this addition. He indicated this will be a great opportunity for youth in the City and will increase safety.  MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – AUGUST 28, 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 Buhler moved to approve Resolution 18-156. Councilmember Lang seconded the motion.
