MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – AUGUST 27, 2019
-3-
Anderson Wahlen & Associates, representing America First Federal Credit
Union, is requesting an amendment to the AFCU West Valley 3500 South
Subdivision. The purpose for the amended plat is to adjust the south
property line to create additional space for vehicle parking.
The AFCU West Valley 3500 South Subdivision was recorded in May
2018. The subdivision consisted of 2 lots on 4.8 acres. The new AFCU
building was completed just a few months ago and is open for business.
The Credit Union however, has realized that parking is insufficient for this
location. The number of employees parking at this location compared to
the original site on 3650 South is greater in number, thus a deficiency with
parking at the current location. The amended plat will adjust the common
lot line between the two lots. This will provide space for an additional 12
vehicles. The original lot 1 consisted of 1.29 acres. The amended lot 1 will
consist of 1.35 acres.
Access to the subdivision will continue to be gained from 3500 South and
from a shared access with lot 2 at 3200 West.
Mayor Bigelow opened the Public Hearing. There being no one to speak in favor
or opposition, Mayor Bigelow closed the Public Hearing.

C. ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION ZT-5-2019,
FILED BY DEV GROUP, REQUESTING A ZONE TEXT CHANGE TO
AMEND CRITERIA FOUND IN SECTION 7-5-101 USED TO
DETERMINE WHETHER A PROPERTY IS ELIGIBLE TO BE
REZONED TO THE RM (MULTIPLE UNIT DWELLING RESIDENTIAL)
ZONE
Mayor Bigelow informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular
Council Meeting scheduled August 27, 2019 in order for the City Council to hear
MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – AUGUST 27, 2019
-6-
and consider public comments regarding application ZT-5-2019, filed by DEV
Group, requesting a zone text change to amend criteria found in Section 7-5-101 used
to determine whether a property is eligible to be rezoned to the RM (multiple unit
dwelling residential) zone.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
In July of 2015, the City Council passed an ordinance where rezones to the RM
zone were prohibited. Prior to this time, there were no restrictions on zone
changes to the RM zone other than the minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet.
In November of 2015, the City Council amended the ordinance to allow rezone
applications to the RM zone under certain conditions. Those conditions are:
For properties without existing Structures which are proposed to be
developed, the property must be a minimum of two acres and the
Density must not exceed twelve units per acre. For properties with
existing Structures proposed to be redeveloped, there is no minimum
acreage requirement, but the Density must not exceed twenty units per
acre;
The property shall either i) have access and Frontage on a Street with a
planned Right-of-way width of at least 80’ (for properties under two
acres) or 100’ (for properties two acres or larger) as indicated on the
Major Street Plan; or ii) be adjacent to existing multifamily residential
Development on two sides; and
A Development Agreement must be proposed with the zone change
application that addresses Dwelling Unit sizes, exterior materials,
architecture, Landscaping, and project Amenities.
The applicant proposes to change the first and second conditions. In summary,
the changes would remove the minimum acreage and maximum density
provisions (the first condition) for properties within ½ mile of a light rail station
and allow ½ mile proximity to a light rail station to meet the second condition.
Mayor Bigelow opened the Public Hearing. There being no one to speak in favor
or opposition, Mayor Bigelow closed the Public Hearing.

Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
The subject property is currently vacant; however, sometime between 2007
and 2008 a church that was previously on the property was demolished.
The applicant is proposing 263 apartment units housed in a single building
varying between 3 to 5 stories. The 3-story portion would be to the south
where it is closest to the single family homes. The proposed density of the
project is 72 units/acre, which is similar to the density of the Residences at
Fairbourne Station project. The attached concept plan and application
materials from the applicant provide details on and support for on the
proposed project.
The applicant has also submitted a zone text change application (ZT-5-
2019) to amend the criteria found in Section 7-5-101 used to determine
whether a property is eligible to be rezoned to the RM zone. If application
ZT-5-2019 is approved as proposed, the subject property for this application
would be eligible to be rezoned to the RM zone because it is within a half
mile of a light rail station and it is adjacent to a regional shopping center
that is adjacent to I-215. If ZT-5-2019 is not approved, the subject property
would not be eligible to be rezoned to the RM zone.
Mayor Bigelow opened the Public Hearing.
Rich Day stated that a lot of work has gone into this Development with staff,
Planning Commission, etc. He indicated there has been a lot of communication and
planning. Mr. Day stated that the size of the project has been reduced, a traffic
engineer was hired and traffic flow was studied, and parking was carefully
evaluated and considered. Mr. Day stated that parking stalls will not cost an
additional fee. Mayor Bigelow indicated that parking is a concern but neighboring
businesses will have the ability to tow vehicles. Councilmember Huynh stated that
the Council supports the vision of Mr. Day but is concerned about this complex
becoming a halfway house or low income housing unit. Mr. Day stated that he has
been appreciative of working with staff and will continue to do so.
Councilmember Lang stated that she is concerned about 3800 South and traffic
flow. Ryan Hales, Traffic Engineer, stated that the timeout of the light is essential
and indicated that allowing longer times east and west will reduce the queue.
Councilmember Lang stated that she is concerned about residents in the south
neighborhood being able to turn left. Mayor Bigelow noted that the City will be
able to work with various options. Mr. Day stated he has had many conversations
with the mall owners about traffic and will continue to work with them and the City
on ensuring traffic doesn’t become a problem. Councilmember Lang asked how
MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – AUGUST 27, 2019

many 3 bedroom units there will be. Mr. Day replied there are only 3.
Councilmember Lang asked why. Mr. Day replied that the market demand suggests
2 bedrooms will have the most success at this location. He stated it would be a great
place for students, people needing to access the airport, and small families.
Councilmember Lang stated that the Planning Commission had a concern about
playground equipment. Mr. Day replied that this isn’t foreseen as a large family
facility but added that there is a tot lot and open space for play. Councilmember
Lang noted that a Planning Commissioner was worried about walkability. Mr. Day
replied there will be plenty of opportunity for sidewalks and there will be paths
provided to Costco, the mall, and Trax. Councilmember Huynh stated that this will
impact the mall and he hopes additional housing will support its improvement.
Darrell Curtis stated that he feels the density will attract transient activity. He
expressed concern about apartments not providing permanency for residents and he
doesn’t feel this is a good solution to this property.
Jim Vesock stated the only one paid parking stall will be provided for renters.
Councilmember Buhler stated that there are enough stalls for parking overall.

traffic on 3800 South and the impact it will have once the apartments, hotel, hobby
lobby, and Pins and Ales are all open.
Mayor Bigelow closed the Public Hearing.

ability of residents to walk to the mall, restaurants, Costco, etc. Councilmember
Buhler stated that he likes that the project has interior parking and is appreciative
of the applicant providing that know it isn’t the cheapest option. He noted that he
drives by this property often and has hoped that something would be constructed
