FILED BY GREG LARSEN, REQUESTING A GENERAL PLAN CHANGE
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) AND A ZONE CHANGE

FROM A (AGRICULTURE, MINIMUM LOT SIZE ½ ACRE) TO RM
(MULTIPLE UNIT DWELLING RESIDENTIAL) FOR PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 3525 SOUTH 6800 WEST
Mayor Bigelow informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular
Council Meeting scheduled May 11, 2021, in order for the City Council to hear and
consider public comments regarding application GPZ-6-2021, filed by Greg Larsen,
requesting a General Plan Change 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) and a Zone Change from A (Agriculture, minimum lot size ½ acre) to RM
(Multiple Unit Dwelling Residential) for property located at 3525 South 6800 West.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
The applicant is proposing a 65-unit, single level, senior living
development. The proposed density of the project is 6.6 units/acre. Each
unit would have a two-car garage and a driveway large enough to park two
vehicles in. The proposed minimum unit size is 1,500 sq. ft. The attached
concept plan and application materials from the applicant provide details on
and support for the proposed project. For comparison, the table below
describes four existing senior condo developments within the City:

While the property is eligible for RM zoning, the City may still deny
requests for RM zoning. 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

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. He indicated that owning a large
home in Newton Farm was difficult at his age. 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.
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 deny Ordinance 21-23.
Councilmember Fitisemanu seconded the motion.

CONSIDER APPLICATION SMI-1-2021, FILED BY ALLISON WITTE,
REQUESTING FINAL PLAT APPROVAL FOR THE GODFREY WEST
SUBDIVISION LOCATED AT 2540 SOUTH 5900 WEST
Mayor Bigelow discussed proposed application SMI-1-2021, filed by Allison Witte,
requesting final plat approval for the Godfrey West Subdivision located 2540 South 5900
West.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
Allison Witte, representing Godfrey West Investors LLC, is requesting final plat
approval for the Godfrey West Subdivision. The subject property is located at
approximately 2540 South 5900 West. It is bordered on all sides by property zoned
for manufacturing uses.
At the present time, the subdivision boundary consists of 3 parcels on
approximately 38 acres. The proposed subdivision is being requested in order to
consolidate these parcels into 2 lots. Lot 1 will be approximately 18.6 acres with
lot 2 being 16.5 acres.
Access to the subdivision will be gained by the extension of Beagley Road from
the west and from 5900 West. Per a development agreement, the developer will
design the water and sewer systems and will reimburse the City for the cost of
installing utility improvements. 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. A development
agreement exists that outlines the process for those items mentioned above.
The subdivision plat will be subject to FEMA Flood Zone requirements. The
developer is working with the Engineering Division and Salt Lake to resolve and
establish guidelines related to those requirements. In addition, portions of the
subdivision are located in a perceived wetland area. Future studies will need to be
done with the Army Corps of Engineers to determine if these wetlands are
jurisdictional. While these identified areas do not affect the subdivision plat, they
may affect future buildings. This item will be better addressed during permitted
and/or conditional use applications.
Upon inquiry by Mayor Bigelow there were no further questions from members of the City
Council, and he called for a motion.

includes a Warranty Deed for 389 square feet of land along the northerly
three feet and the corner of the property, two Perpetual Easement for the
wall and two Temporary Construction Easement for the wall and
improvements along 2700 West. Compensation in the amount of
$14,400.00 is based upon the Appraisal Report prepared by the Fortis Group
LLC. Additionally, the property owner has agreed to donate a Perpetual
Easement and a Temporary Construction Easement along the 4100 South
