PUBLIC COMMENTS Julie Jacobs stated that she previously attended a West Valley City Council meeting in favor of the City becoming a “no kill” shelter. She indicated that the City became a model for other communities. Ms. Jacobs expressed concern about the City’s “RTF” (return to field) policy regarding felines. She stated that if a non-community cat ends up at the shelter and is not microchipped, it can be dropped off into a neighborhood so that the City can maintain the qualification of a “no kill” shelter. She indicated that this makes it impossible for families to reunite with lost pets. Ms. Jacobs stated that she feels it’s important that the shelter work with the community to educate on what to do with pets when they move from neighborhoods, etc. She reminded the Council that this is a taxpayer facility and added that a community cat coordinator is important. Mike Markham stated that graffiti removal is important in the City. He indicated that there is a variety of fencing types along 2700 West, a main artery in the City, and he feels it’s time that West Valley City install a single fencing type along this street. He suggested selling a golf course and putting that money back into projects like this. Mr. Markham added that the City needs to look beyond Fairbourne Station. B.

Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: West Valley City Planning staff is requesting a zoning ordinance amendment to change Section 7-6-301 by prohibiting certain uses within the Decker Lake Station Overlay Zone. This Overlay Zone was first enacted in 1996 and covers property between 3500 South and approximately 3000 South and between I-215 and approximately 2100 West. The Overlay Zone boundary largely corresponds with the entertainment designation on the General Plan map. The General Plan document states the following concerning this entertainment designation: “This section of the City already contains several entertainment- focused venues including the Maverik Center and the Hale Center Theatre. This district will encourage more entertainment and other complementary uses such as hotels and restaurants within or nearby to build upon existing vitality. Broad goals in this area include the encouragement of a more pedestrian-friendly environment and increasing the rich variety of services and opportunities to attract more visitors to this vibrant and fun area.” Of the 97 acres within the Overlay Zone, 79 acres are zoned C-2 (general commercial). The remaining 18 acres is zoned M (manufacturing). There are no agricultural or industrial type uses currently within the Overlay Zone; however, certain agricultural and industrial uses would be allowed on those properties zoned M. MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – OCTOBER 2, 2018 -5- The purpose of the proposed change is to align the allowed uses within the Overlay Zone with the General Plan designation. In staff’s view, there are several uses allowed within the underlying M zone that are not compatible with the General Plan. As seen in the proposed ordinance revision, the following uses would be added to the list of prohibited uses in the Overlay Zone: Bus Terminal; Commercial raising, rental stabling, training and grazing of animals; Commissary; Detention Facility/Jail; Equestrian School; Heavy Equipment Sales and Service; New Heavy Truck and trailer sales; Used Heavy Truck and trailer sales; Heavy Truck and trailer service; Incinerator; Heavy Industrial; Outdoor Kennel; Manufacturer of Alcoholic Products; Moving Truck Rental Business; Noncommercial raising, training and grazing of animals; Outside Storage; Radio and television transmission antennas, transmitting stations and related facilities; Retail Tobacco Specialty Business; Tobacco Oriented Business; Towing and Impound Yard; Truck Transfer Company; Turf Farm Equipment Manufacturing; Vehicle Recycling Facility and Vehicle Storage Yard.
