An argument could be made for the RE (residential estate) zone given the surrounding single family homes. The Newton Farm Subdivision, which is the largest RE zoned development in the City, is approximately 430’ to the south. Mayor Bigelow opened the Public Hearing. Greg Larsen, the applicant, stated that he is completing construction on the Smiths MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MAY 11, 2021 -4- Farm Subdivision. He indicated he would like to provide a Senior Facility that is very much needed in the City. He indicated he provided generous setbacks to surrounding properties and has worked closely with neighboring residents. Mr. Larsen stated that improvements will be made and will tie into future developments to the south. He indicated he is in favor of a trail system that was discussed by the Council in the Study Meeting last week. Tom Pearce stated that he owns this property and acquired it in 1968. He indicated he loves the City and is an advocate for the community. Mr. Pearce stated that Newton Farm is a great contribution to the City.

Mr. Pearce stated that he served on the Planning Commission in the 1980’s and understands the job that the Council is doing. He indicated that he wants to live out his life in West Valley City on this property. Mr. Pearce stated that his wife died from an accident and he can no longer keep up this property. He indicated that he feels this property is a great location for a much needed Senior Housing Facility. He indicated that if he felt this was a detriment to the community, he would not promote it because he loves the City. Mr. Pearce stated he is a real estate broker knows that Senior Living Facilities are well needed. He indicated that he knows many people who are looking forward to living in this area. Mr. Pearce stated that he is excited to encourage the Council to give seniors a great location to settle and remain in West Valley. Mayor Bigelow closed the Public Hearing. ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 21-23, AMEND THE GENERAL PLAN TO SHOW A CHANGE OF LAND USE FROM LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (3 TO 4 UNITS/ACRE) AND LARGE LOT RESIDENTIAL (2 TO 3 UNITS/ACRE) TO MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (7 TO 12 UNITS/ACRE) FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3525 SOUTH 6800 WEST ON 9.9 ACRES The City Council previously held a public hearing regarding proposed Ordinance 21-23 that would amend the General Plan to Show a Change of Land Use from Low Density Residential (3 to 4 units/acre) and Large Lot Residential (2 to 3 units/acre) to Medium Density Residential (7 to 12 units/acre) for property located at 3525 South 6800 West on 9.9 Acres. Mayor Bigelow stated that he agrees with the applicant and Mr. Pearce in that the City needs Senior Living Facilities. He stated that Mr. Pearce is knowledgeable about the City and the process. Councilmember Buhler stated that there is a lack of housing for successful or college educated people in West Valley City. He indicated that many younger MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MAY 11, 2021 -5- people have no option but to look for homes elsewhere because there is not sufficient housing for them in the City. Councilmember Buhler stated that the introduction of the RE Zone helped with this problem but there is still a significant shortage of larger homes on larger lots in the City. He indicated that he is hesitant to allow RM zoning so near RE Zoning in this area and noted that it is a great location to expand the RE Zone. Councilmember Buhler stated that he acknowledges the need for Senior Living Facilities but also must look at the remaining land in the City as a whole and what the best use is for each proposal that comes before the City Council. He indicated that this is a great concept and development proposal but he feels that this area is better suited to RE Zoning. Mayor Bigelow stated that West Valley is in a position to encourage both RE and Senior Housing to add to the City. He indicated that this is a difficult decision but feels this would be a win-win whichever way the Council decides to go. Councilmember Fitisemanu thanked Councilmember Buhler for articulating a little what of he feels and was unable to put into words. He indicated that he also agrees for the need for Senior Housing but RE properties are also very much needed. He indicated that he finds himself in the young growing family category and noted that many people he knows have West Valley in their hearts but have had to seek housing in other Cities because it is not provided here. Councilmember Fitisemanu stated that the Council must take all information into consideration and he is concerned about how to steward the very limited remaining developable land. He indicated that this is a beautiful project but he isn’t sure that a Senior Facility is the correct use for this particular area.

The City will design and build the east portion of Beagley Road and 5900 West. The City will use funds from the developer and monies from Inland Port SB234 for these improvements.
