consider public comments regarding Application S-3-2023, Filed by Scott Godfrey,
Requesting Final Plat Approval for Godfrey Industrial Park No. 3 Located at 2400
South 5900 West
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
Scott Godfrey is requesting final plat approval for the Godfrey Industrial
Park Subdivision No. 3. The proposed subdivision will also amend lots 1
and 2 of the Godfrey West Subdivision. The property is located at
approximately 2400 South 5900 West and is bordered by property zoned
Manufacturing.
At the present time, the subdivision consists of a number of parcels and two
recorded lots within the Godfrey West Subdivision. The proposed
subdivision is being requested to consolidate these parcels and amend two
existing lots into a new 4 lot subdivision to be known as Godfrey Industrial
Park Subdivision No. 3.
As mentioned earlier, two lots in the Godfrey West Subdivision will be
amended by this plat. The reason these are being included in this
subdivision is to benefit from a new street proposed to be located on the
north side of these lots. An existing building on lot 1 has already been
constructed, and staff is working the site plan for the second building
adjacent to Beagley Road and 5900 West.
Access to the subdivision will be gained by Beagley Road, 5900 West, the
SR-201 South Frontage Road and from a new cul-de-sac extending west
from 5900 West at 2400 South. All roads except the new cul-se-sac are
existing. The cul-de-sac will be a dedicated right-of-way having a width
of 66 feet and a length of just over 700 feet. The road will consist of curb
and gutter on both sides and sidewalk on the north side. The only portion
of the subdivision lacking improvements is along the south side of the SR-
201 South Frontage Road.
Mayor Lang opened the Public Hearing. There being no one to speak in favor or
opposition, Mayor Lang closed the Public Hearing.
ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 23-39, APPROVE THE AMENDMENT OF

B. ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION ZT-6-2023,
FILED BY JAMES WARNER WITH TRUCKPRO, LC, REQUESTING A
ZONE TEXT CHANGE TO SECTION 7-14-403 TO ALLOW NON-
MASONRY MATERIALS ON THE STREET FACING EXTERIORS OF
BUILDINGS WITHIN THE 5600 WEST GATEWAY OVERLAY ZONE
Mayor Lang informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular Council
Meeting scheduled October 24, 2023, in order for the City Council to hear and
consider public comments regarding Application ZT-6-2023, Filed by James Warner
with Truckpro, LC, Requesting a Zone Text Change to Section 7-14-403 to Allow Non-
Masonry Materials on the Street Facing Exteriors of Buildings Within the 5600 West
Gateway Overlay Zone.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
James Warner with Truckpro, LC has requested an amendment to Section
7-14-403 of the zoning ordinance to allow non-masonry materials on the
street facing exteriors of buildings within the 5600 West Gateway Overlay
Zone. The ordinance currently states: “All Buildings shall be constructed
using one hundred percent masonry on any Street facing Façade”. The
applicant is requesting that the City allow “architectural metal siding as well
as ceramic and wood textures that are being used extensively in most cities
MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 24, 2023
-5-
on higher-end buildings”.
The applicant’s justification for this application is as follows:
“The types of textures used in the past 5-10 years on higher-end buildings
are mainly ACM (Architectural Metal), ceramic tiles and wood siding. The
facility that we are considering building has specific requirements to qualify
it to be one of 22 INEOS Grenadier dealerships in the U.S. and the only
dealership in Utah. The buildings require high-end ACM and possibly wood
or simulated wood look on ceramic or metal. By approving these materials,
we believe that the city will attract higher-end buildings and businesses as
most of them are using these premium materials. With the current standards
and requirements, businesses that the city might otherwise want may not
even consider West Valley City as if they understood the current code and
did not want to go through the text amendment process and cost.”
Mayor Lang opened the Public Hearing
James Warner, the applicant, stated that he is excited about bringing a new business
to West Valley City. He indicated it is a new manufacturer and the current
ordinance would limit the great building materials they require.
Mayor Lang closed the Public Hearing.
ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 23-40, AMEND SECTION 7-14-403 OF THE
WEST VALLEY CITY MUNICIPAL CODE TO AMEND CERTAIN
REQUIREMENTS CONCERNING THE 5600 WEST GATEWAY OVERLAY
ZONE
The City Council previously held a public hearing regarding proposed Ordinance
23-40 that would amend Section 7-14-403 of the West Valley City Municipal Code to
Amend Certain Requirements Concerning the 5600 West Gateway Overlay Zone.
Upon inquiry by Mayor Lang there were no further questions from members of the
City Council, and he called for a motion.
Councilmember Christensen moved to approve Ordinance 23-40.

RESOLUTION 23-150: AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION OF AN INTERLOCAL
COOPERATION AGREEMENT WITH SALT LAKE COUNTY FOR ACCESS TO
AERIAL IMAGERY
Dan Johnson, Public Works Director, presented proposed Resolution 23-150 that would
authorize the Execution of an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement with Salt Lake County for
Access to Aerial Imagery
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
This resolution authorizes the City to enter into an agreement for the purchase and
use of digital orthorectified aerial photography and oblique imagery of West Valley
City. Under this agreement, the West Valley City agrees to participate in the
acquisition of a commercial aerial photography license of high-resolution Imagery
data. The County agrees to give the City a limited license for a web service of the
imagery as well as hard-copy images to use natural color Orthorectified Imagery at
7.5 cm (3 in.) and 22.5 cm (9 in.) resolution for all areas within its geographical
boundaries.
Current, accurate digital orthorectified photography has many uses within the City.
The photos are used within the majority of City Departments to visualize and
identify growth; compare urban changes with aerial photography from previous
years; as a reference for new spatial information; as a background for online map
viewers and printed maps; for measurements of impervious surfaces; and more.
The format is compatible with existing GIS applications that are used and
developed by City Staff. By partnering with other agencies, costs for aerial
photography are significantly reduced.
Upon inquiry by Mayor Lang there were no further questions from members of the City
Council, and she called for a motion.
Councilmember Harmon moved to approve Resolution 23-150
Councilmember Huynh seconded the motion.

BETWEEN WEST VALLEY CITY AND SALT LAKE COUNTY FOR SECURITY

Officers to provide security and law enforcement services on an as needed basis at
the West Valley branch of the Salt Lake County library system. The county wishes
to extend the interlocal agreement previously entered into on or about March 13,
2023 governing the conditions under which they hire off-duty police officers. The

RESOLUTION 23-152: AWARD A CONTRACT TO HARPER PRECAST FOR
THE FASSIO FARM PARK WALL REPLACEMENT PROJECT
Dan Johnson, Public Works Director, presented proposed Resolution 23-152 that would
award a Contract to Harper Precast for the Fassio Farm Park Wall Replacement Project.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
Fassio Farm Park was built in 1997. The north wall was existing at that time and
had been installed by the developer of the surrounding neighborhood. Over time,
due to the construction and type of block, the joints on this wall have eroded,
allowing the individual blocks to come out of the wall. Because of this, it needs to
be removed and replaced.
This project will include removal and hauling off the existing block wall and
replacing it with a precast concrete wall. It also includes the repair of any damage
to the landscape.
Bids were solicited through a formal bid process and Harper Precast was the lone
bidder. Their bid came in at $82,159.00
Upon inquiry by Mayor Lang there were no further questions from members of the City
Council, and she called for a motion.

Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
The Fleet Division recommends the replacement of one of the City’s three
slurry/plow trucks that will be used by the Public Works Department in the
Operations Divisions for slurry seal and snow removal. The truck is
recommended for replacement for a combination of factors including
hours/mileage, age, and condition. The truck will be equipped with a plow, salter,
and a pre-wet system that activates the salt before it hits the pavement. The

Blvd. were installed using direct burial wires that cannot be easily repaired once
the conductor is damaged. The new system will be installed with electrical conduit
that can be maintained in the future. The light poles and fixtures will also be
replaced as part of the project.
A total of six bids were received, and the lowest responsible bid was received by
Skyline Electric Co. in the amount of $282,297.00.

infrastructure has resulted in the approval of delay agreements for several
parcels within the area.

Road that would include a storm drain system and enable the improvements
to be constructed. Completing all right-of-way infrastructure along the
frontage road at the same time, as part of a larger project, will ensure the

Frontage Road project is not currently funded and will require extensive
coordination with UDOT to finalize a design for the road. Due to the risk of

system to accommodate storm water runoff, staff is recommending the
approval of a delay agreement.

Change from A-1 (Agriculture, Minimum Lot Size 1 acre) to M (Manufacturing)
for Property Located at 7007 West Apaloosa Drive
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included

information as follows:
The intended development for this property is a mix of 35,000 square feet
of self-storage space, 30,000 square feet of flex space, and 4,000 square
feet of office. Access would be gained primarily from Beagley Road by
crossing the Riter Canal. Apaloosa Drive would provide secondary access.
The following list of current conditions may warrant consideration of M
zoning on the subject property:
The Northwest Economic Development Area (EDA), which was
created in 2012, includes the subject property. The Northwest
EDA covers approximately 1,000 acres in the northwest part of
the City and makes available incentives for commercial
development.
The Magna Water property to the south and east includes wells
and a water treatment facility. These uses will likely remain in
perpetuity with no chance of having connecting roads to the
subject parcel.
The Western Mobile Estates mobile home park to the west has
only one access, Apaloosa Drive, to 7200 West. Given that there
are already 144 mobile homes with only one access, additional
homes on the subject parcel would not be allowed without another
access.
There are large, distribution warehouses that are part of the ARA
Industrial Park on the north side of Beagley Road.
Mayor Lang noted that a public meeting was opened and closed on October 10,
