ORDINANCE 23-44: AMEND SECTION 1-2-107 OF THE WEST VALLEY CITY
MUNICIPAL CODE TO UPDATE CERTAIN PARKS AND RECREATION FEES

amend Section 1-2-107 of the West Valley City Municipal Code to Update Certain Parks and
Recreation Fees
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
Parks and Recreation staff have evaluated fees to cover costs and to be comparable
to other similar facilities in the area. Fee changes help cover cost of personnel to
clean, prepare, schedule and maintain the facilities listed below.
current fees proposed fees
Pavilion rental weekday(M-Th) $40 $80/$100
(resident/non-resident)
MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING DECEMBER 5, 2023

Pavilion rental weekend(F-Sun) $50 $100/$125
(resident/non-resident)
Park open space $250/day $400/day
Soccer field rental $50/half day $100/half day
Softball complex rental (4 fields) $150/half day $250/half day
Softball field prep $30/field/prep $65/field/prep
Field lights $25/hr/field $75/hr/field

Electrical power tower use $10/day $25/day
In addition, The Ridge and Stonebridge Golf Clubs wish to adjust the days and
times which the reduced golf rates are offered as part of the Player Pass. As golf
rounds have increased over the last few years, those with Player Passes are taking
high demand times from those willing to pay regular golf rates. The proposal
provides that weekend rates would now include Friday and that weekends and
holidays would not have reduced rates after 1 PM.
Upon inquiry by Mayor Lang there were no further questions from members of the City
Council, and she called for a motion.
Councilmember Fitisemanu asked if it is common practice to have designated parking
spaces for park rentals. He noted that he has never seen this. Jamie Young, Parks and
Recreation Director, replied that this is not standard. She noted that this would be an
enforcement challenge but added that a space could be designated for loading/unloading.
Mayor Lang asked how often garbage cans are collected. Jamie replied Tuesday and
Saturday unless extra pickups are needed due to large events. She noted that areas are only
eligible to be reserved once a day to prevent increased garbage. Jamie stated that staff could
look at ways to offset the extra cost for additional garbage pick-up if needed.
Councilmember Harmon moved to approve Ordinance 23-44
Councilmember Nordfelt seconded the motion.

NEW BUSINESS
A. CONSIDER APPLICATION PUD-2-2023, FILED BY SHIVAM SHAH,
REQUESTING FINAL PLAT APPROVAL FOR THE MOUNTAIN VIEW
MICRO FLEX PUD, LOCATED AT 5718 WEST 3500 SOUTH
John Flores, HR Director, presented application PUD-2-2023, Filed by Shivam Shah,
Requesting Final Plat Approval for the Mountain View Micro Flex PUD, Located at
5718 West 3500 South
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
Shivam Shah, is requesting final approval for the Mountain View Micro
Flex PUD. The proposed application will convert interior office/warehouse
spaces into 59 individual commercial condominium units. The building is
presently under construction.
The existing parcel is 5.3 acres in size. City staff approved a permitted use
application for this project in December 2022. As part of that review, all
aspects of development including site plan review, landscaping and
commercial design standards were reviewed and approved.
MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING DECEMBER 5, 2023
-11-
The proposed application is to create condominium units as opposed to
individual suites or office/warehouse spaces originally approved by the
City. The numbers of condominium units is equal to those approved by the
permitted use application. Unit sizes range from 820 square feet to 2,560
square feet. As mentioned previously, these spaces can be used for a variety
of businesses commensurate with the LI zone.
Commercial and Industrial condominiums are not uncommon. According
to the applicant, there are a variety of benefits associated with doing a
commercial condominium project. For the property owner, it is primarily
the ability to sell units as opposed to leasing them. For business owners it
is the ability to predict occupancy costs without having to renegotiate their
lease every few years. There is also a sense of pride in ownership that can
help keep the entire project viable because of the interest each owner has in
wanting the overall project to succeed. For these reasons, the applicant is
proposing the condominium concept.
Upon inquiry by Mayor Lang there were no further questions from members of the
City Council, and she called for a motion.
