PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION ZT-4-2020,
FILED BY BRUCE SMITH AND FRED COX, REQUESTING AN
ORDINANCE CHANGE TO SECTIONS 7-6-302 AND 7-6-305 TO ALLOW
THE MINIMUM ZONING DISTRICT SIZE FOR THE C-2 (GENERAL
COMMERICAL) ZONE TO BE LESS THAN 5
Mayor Bigelow informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular
Council Meeting scheduled September 1, 2020, in order for the City Council to hear
and consider public comments regarding application ZT-4-2020, filed by Bruce
Smith and Fred Cox, requesting an Ordinance Change to sections 7-6-302 and 7-6-305
to allow the minimum zoning district size for the C-2 (General Commercial) Zone to
be less than 5.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
The C-2 zone currently includes a minimum district size of 5 acres. An
individual parcel within the C-2 zone can be as small as 20,000 sq. ft.;
however, the property must be adjacent to other C-2 zoned parcels that
together total 5 acres. The proposed change would allow property zoned M
MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – SEPTEMBER 1, 2020

(Manufacturing) to be included with property zoned C-2 to meet the
minimum district size for the C-2 zone.
Staff is supportive of this change for the following reasons:
The M zone allows many of the same uses allowed in the C-2
zone.
The minimum district size seems to be geared toward preventing
spot zoning where a relatively small property is zoned different
from everything else around it. Maintaining a 5 acre district size
next to residential seems more important than trying to maintain a
5 acre district size next to M zoning where commercial uses are
allowed.
Mayor Bigelow opened the Public Hearing.
Fred Cox, the applicant, stated that he had originally proposed an alternative to this
but based on feedback from staff, this option seemed to be the best solution. He
discussed the property noted in the following application.
Mayor Bigelow closed the Public Hearing.
ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 20-36, AMEND SECTIONS 7-6-302 AND 7-6-
305 OF THE WEST VALLEY CITY MUNICIPAL CODE TO AMEND
REGULATIONS CONCERNING PROPERTY ELIGIBLE FOR C-2
ZONING
The City Council previously held a public hearing regarding proposed Ordinance
20-36 that would amend Sections 7-6-302 and 7-6-305 of the West Valley City
Municipal Code to amend regulations concerning property eligible for C-2 Zoning.
Mayor Bigelow asked if staff discovered why City changed the Code originally.
Steve replied that the minimum 5-acre district size for the C-2 zone was adopted in
Ordinance #87-08 by the Council on 2/19/1987. He indicated that unfortunately,
the Planning Commission and City Council minutes are lacking any detail as to
why this district size was added.
Staff’s views as to the purposes/benefits to this standard are:
Ordinance 87-08, which included the 5 acre minimum district size, also
included the following purpose for the C-2 zone: “The general commercial
zone is established to provide locations for a full range of office, retail
MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – SEPTEMBER 1, 2020
-4-
commercial, and service uses which are oriented to serve the City as a whole
as well as a regional market in Salt Lake Valley.” Single anchor shopping
centers where a grocery store is the anchor generally range in site area from
3 to 10 acres. Setting a 5 acre minimum increases the chances of getting a
variety of tenants to appeal to a broader market.
Along certain major streets like 5600 W and 4100 S, the City has kept
commercial uses limited to major signalized intersections. Examples along
4100 S include the intersections at Redwood Road, and 4000 W and 5600
W. Maintaining a 5 acre minimum discourages mid-block locations from
converting to commercial.
Without the minimum 5 acre district size, any property that is at least 20,000
sq. ft. in area would be eligible for C-2 zoning even if it is totally surrounded
by residential. While the Council can still deny such a zone change request,
maintaining the 5 acre district size prevents such applications, saving the
applicant’s and the City’s time. This is similar to the Council’s position on
the RM zone. Certain eligibility criteria have been adopted so that only
certain properties are eligible for RM zoning. Those properties that do not
meet the eligibility criteria cannot apply for a zone change.
The City’s General Plan includes the following guiding principle: “Instead
of rezoning more ground for retail, the City should encourage new retail
development on existing vacant ground zoned commercial and on aging
and/or underdeveloped retail areas.” Maintaining a 5 acre minimum district
size helps at least steer new commercial to be adjacent to existing
commercial areas.
Councilmember Buhler stated that he doesn’t see a downside to this proposal. He
indicated that he would suggest adding C-1 and C-3 to the proposal and asked if
City staff would be supportive of that inclusion. Steve Pastorik, CED, replied that
staff would be supportive of adding C-3 to the proposal as it is in line with the
manufacturing and C-2 zones but noted that C-1 has stricter and more unique
requirements.
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 Ordinance 20-36 with the addition of the
C-3 zone.
Councilmember Lang seconded the motion.
A roll call vote was taken:

B. ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION Z-5-2020, FILED
BY BRUCE SMITH AND FRED COX, REQUESTING A ZONE CHANGE
FROM M (MANUFACTURING) TO C-2 (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) ON
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5571 WEST 2455 SOUTH
Mayor Bigelow informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular
Council Meeting scheduled September 1, 2020, in order for the City Council to hear
and consider public comments regarding application Z-5-2020, filed by Bruce Smith
and Fred Cox, requesting a Zone Change from M (Manufacturing) to C-2 (General
Commercial) on property located at 5571 West 2455 South.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
Included with this issue paper is a concept plan from the applicant
showing a proposed 13,250 sq. ft. commercial building. According to the
applicant, the proposed uses for the building are retail, professional office
and medical office. Retail and professional office are allowed in the M
zone; however, medical office is not allowed. This is why the owner is
seeking C-2 zoning.
The C-2 zone includes a minimum district size of 5 acres. An individual
parcel within the C-2 zone can be as small as 20,000 sq. ft.; however, the
property must be adjacent to other C-2 zoned parcels that together total 5
acres. If approved, application ZT-4-2020 would allow M zoned property
to be included to meet the minimum C-2 district size. If application ZT-4-
2020 is not approved, this application must be denied because the
minimum C-2 zone district size would not be met.
Mayor Bigelow opened the Public Hearing.
Fred Cox, the applicant, indicated that this property seems to make sense for a
commercial use. He stated that there has been a number of attempts to develop this
property, but the current owner would like to construct a dentist office with other
MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – SEPTEMBER 1, 2020

general commercial uses.
Mayor Bigelow closed the Public Hearing.
ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 20-37, AMEND THE ZONING MAP TO
SHOW A CHANGE OF ZONE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5571
WEST 2455 SOUTH FROM M (MANUFACTURING) TO C-2 (GENERAL
COMMERCIAL)
The City Council previously held a public hearing regarding proposed Ordinance
20-37 that would amend the Zoning Map to show a change of zone for property
located at 5571 West 2455 South from M (Manufacturing) 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 Lang moved to approve Ordinance 20-37.

RESOLUTION 20-138: RENEW WEST VALLEY CITY'S COMMITMENT TO
BEING "IDLE FREE"
Mayor Bigelow discussed proposed Resolution 20-138 that would renew West Valley
City's commitment to being "Idle Free".
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
The proposed resolution by the Youth City Council (YCC) encourages citizens and
guests to turn off their vehicle’s engine when idling for more than one minute unless
MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – SEPTEMBER 1, 2020
-7-
they are forced to idle because of traffic conditions or if idling is necessary for
auxiliary power, health and safety, maintenance and repair, or for law enforcement
or emergency personnel. The proposed ordinance would permit law enforcement to
give a violator a warning for the first offense. A second offense would be an
infraction.
Every year, the YCC chooses an area of concern they would like to make impact.
This year, they have chosen anti-idling issues. The YCC is concerned about their
health and the health of all the City’s residents because air pollution can cause or
exacerbate serious health conditions such as asthma, heart disease and chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease. Other cities such as Draper, Holladay, Salt Lake
City, Murray, Cottonwood Heights, Logan, Alta, Sandy, and Park City have
previously adopted ordinances or resolutions to reduce emissions of idling vehicles,
clear the air, and protect their residents’ health. The City adopted a resolution in
2010 encouraging citizens and guests to be idle free. The YCC proposes renewing
that position in an updated resolution or adopting an ordinance which would
provide for education of the issue and allow for enforcement.
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 Resolution 20-138.
Councilmember Lang seconded the motion.
A roll call vote was taken:
Mr. Fitisemanu Yes
Ms. Lang Yes
Mr. Buhler Yes
Mr. Huynh Yes

Mr. Nordfelt Yes
Mayor Bigelow Yes

RESOLUTION 20-139: APPROVE A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
WITH THE NATIONAL RECREATION AND PARK ASSOCIATION
Mayor Bigelow discussed proposed Resolution 20-139 that would approve a Memorandum
of Understanding with the National Recreation and Park Association.
MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – SEPTEMBER 1, 2020
-8-
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
The West Valley City parks and recreation department has been awarded one of
only twelve national grants by the NRPA to rehabilitate and enhance certain aspects
of Parkway Park. The Parkway Park Enhancement and Play Initiative will include
enhancements that will beautify and repair various elements of the park as well as
offer new activities for the community.

This is a non-matching grant thus West Valley City is not required to provide
additional funds for the project. All aspects will be funded in full by grant
dollars.
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 Resolution 20-139.

CONSIDER APPLICATION SMI-2-2020, FILED BY ELLIOTT SMITH,
REQUESTING FINAL PLAT APPROVAL FOR THE TERRAFORM
COMMERCIAL SUBDIVISION LOCATED AT 4700 SOUTH 5600 WEST
Mayor Bigelow discussed application SMI-2-2020, filed by Elliott Smith, requesting Final
Plat Approval for the TerraForm Commercial Subdivision located at 4700 South 5600
West.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
Elliott Smith, representing Robert J. Defa et al, is requesting final plat approval for
the TerraForm Commercial Subdivision. The subdivision is located on the
northwest corner of 4700 South and 5600 West. The subdivision is bordered on
the north by vacant ground zoned Agriculture and the west by storage units.
The subdivision will create two lots which will be developed in the future. Lot 1,
or the corner lot, will be approximately 1 acre in size, with the remaining property,
or lot 2, containing approximately 4 acres in size.
The corner lot is being proposed for a new 7-eleven store which is currently being
reviewed by staff. Access to the corner piece will be from both 5600 West and 4700
South. UDOT approval will need to be granted for the 5600 West access. Access
to lot 2 will be gained from 4700 South. At the present time, there is no proposed
use for that lot.
As part of this application, the developer will be dedicating a portion of 4700 South.
The intersection of 5600 West and 4700 South was built to a 53-foot half width. It
is not anticipated that a 53-foot half width will be needed west of the 7-eleven. The
applicant is coordinating the right-of-way width needed along this section of 4700
South and where a possible transition should occur going west.
The subdivision plat will simply provide the mechanism to divide the property as
required by the applicant. The subdivision plat will contain easements and other
information applicable to the division of property. Separate applications will be
submitted for permitted and/or conditional uses on the two new lots.
Upon inquiry by Mayor Bigelow there were no further questions from members of the City

CONSIDER APPLICATION SMI-3-2020, FILED BY SCOTT HELM,
REQUESTING FINAL PLAT APPROVAL FOR THE PHIL'S FARM
SUBDIVISION LOCATED AT 4180 SOUTH 4625 WEST
Mayor Bigelow discussed application SMI-3-2020, filed by Scott Helm, requesting Final
Plat Approval for the Phil's Farm Subdivision located at 4180 South 4625 West.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
Mr. Scott Helm, is requesting final plat approval for the Phil’s Farm Subdivision.
The subdivision will consist of 7 lots on approximately 2.4 acres. This equates to
an overall density of 2.9 units per acre. Lot sizes range from 10,800 square feet to
15,960 square feet. The average lot size in the subdivision has been calculated at
12,580 square feet.
Access to the subdivision will be gained from existing stub street in the Condie
Park Estates No. 3 Subdivision to the south. The subdivision will then terminate in
a cul-de-sac. The City’s right-of-way is typically a 54-foot width that includes curb,
gutter, sidewalk and parkstrip. The right-of-way width coming in from the south
does not have parkstrip. The City Engineering Division will allow the new
subdivision street to be built with an integral curb, gutter sidewalk design, but will
require a parkstrip in the bulb of the cul-de-sac.
MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – SEPTEMBER 1, 2020
-11-
There is an existing sewer easement that cuts through what will be lot 2. As part
of the subdivision design, the developer will move the easement to the north side
of lot 3. A new sewer easement will be established and will be coordinated with
Granger Hunter Improvement District. In addition, storm water enters this property
from subdivisions to the south. A new storm drain easement will also be located
on the north side of lot 3. Storm water from this property will then be piped north
down Condie Lane out to 4100 South. Provisions to accommodate this piping in
4100 South were made prior to the subdivision application.
The subject property has been vacant for years, but staff does not believe it has
actively been irrigated. The ditch along the east side of the property will need to
be piped. The developer will coordinate any irrigation issues that may be part of
this property with the Engineering Division.
The applicant will be required to submit a soils report prior to final plat review.
The report will need to be reviewed by the City Building Official and City Engineer.
Ground water was not encountered in the Condie Park Estates subdivision to the
south. Staff does not believe ground water will be a problem, but a soils report will
be required.
Upon inquiry by Mayor Bigelow there were no further questions from members of the City
Council, and he called for a motion.
Councilmember Lang moved to approve Application SMI-3-2020.
Councilmember Huynh seconded the motion.
A roll call vote was taken:
