Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: Temporary cellular equipment, also referred to as a Carrier on Wheels (COW), is a portable self-contained cell site that can be moved to a location and set up to provide extra capacity on a temporary basis. A COW is normally vehicle or trailer mounted and contains a telescoping boom as the antenna support structure ranging anywhere from 40’-80’ tall. The equipment, as well as the installation process, is very costly so these are typically only deployed for larger events where 25,000 people or more are gathered. The requested amendment to the City Code would permit these facilities as a temporary use. The installation would only be allowed in conjunction with an approved event and could not be a stand-alone use. The standards would also specify that a maximum of four permits shall be issued for this type of use per property per year, with a maximum term of seven days per permit. The timeline as proposed excludes installation and removal. Therefore, AT&T Wireless proposes the following ordinance to regulate this use in West Valley City. 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. 19-11, AMEND SECTION 7-2-112 OF THE WEST VALLEY CITY MUNICIPAL CODE TO AMEND REGULATIONS GOVERNING TEMPORARY LAND USES The City Council previously held a public hearing regarding proposed Ordinance 19-11 that would amend Section 7-2-112 of the West Valley City Municipal Code to amend regulations governing temporary land uses.

A portion of this money is set aside to fund cultural facilities projects. The City applied for Cultural Facilities Support Program (CFSP) funds to update the existing AV in the upper level of the Utah Cultural Celebration Center (UCCC) as well as some needed updates to the UCCC amphitheater. Under the terms of this agreement, the County will contribute $250,000 in TRCC funds to assist with the recommended updates.
