the arts, she emphasizes their role in fostering community, understanding, empathy,
and social justice. Lena urges decision-makers to empathize with those fighting to
preserve these cultural spaces, which are vital for future generations and the
community's well-being.
Charlie Vasquez, a creative writing major at Weber State, shares his personal
experience of discovering himself and others like him through arts such as
literature, movies, and shows. He emphasizes the importance of having outlets for
self-expression and the sadness he feels when artistic resources are removed or
reduced. Charlie urges consideration of the impact these decisions have on
communities, highlighting the necessity for people to express themselves and find
like-minded individuals.
Bryce Isaacson, an incoming professor at BYU and editor of Utah's largest arts
review organization, addresses the closure of the West Valley Performing Arts
Center. He stresses the economic benefits the arts bring to local businesses and
communities, recommending an economic impact study before closure. Isaacson
suggests exploring partnerships, similar to the Taylorsville model, to refurbish or
replace the center. He offers his expertise to help grow the arts in West Valley,
emphasizing the long-term benefits of preserving and expanding cultural venues.
Anna Kaitlin congratulates West Valley City and West Valley Arts on winning
seven Theater awards in 2023. She highlights the vital role the West Valley
Performing Arts Center plays in supporting the arts community and enhancing the
well-being of diverse residents. Kaitlin questions the decision to close the center,

color, who find a sense of home and representation there. She urges the city to

partner with the community to keep the center operational for its cultural and social
benefits.
Elizabeth Weight highlights the civic duty of legislators to represent their
constituents' voices, emphasizing trust and informed decision-making. She
criticizes the abrupt closure announcement of the theater without public discussion,
expressing shock and disappointment over the lack of transparency. Weight
advocates for a thorough review of the theater’s operations and plans, urging the
City Council to reconsider their decision and recognize the theater’s significant role
in the community.

and community investments in the city, particularly praising the parks and

community offerings, which include sports, arts, and recreational activities. Kohler
urges the City Council to consider the essential role of the arts in the community
and to keep the performing arts center open to support its residents.
Walt Sorensen, a lifelong resident of West Valley City and an artist, voiced his
concerns regarding the closure of the West Valley Performing Arts Center. He
highlighted the lack of awareness in the community about the theater and suggested
that limited past marketing might be to blame. Sorensen requested that the city issue

proposed that the city provide a booth at Westfest to promote the theater's current
season and fundraising efforts, urging the community to rally in support of the arts
center.
Kevin Matthews, a 19-year resident of West Valley, expressed concerns about the
impact of Airbnb and short-term rentals in his neighborhood. He noted issues such

the arts center. Wixom urged the council to consider renovating the historic
building, citing examples of successful restoration projects elsewhere.

commitment of those present to the community. She shared her personal experience
as a mother of two boys with autism, emphasizing the profound impact theater has
on them. Garcia described how the theater serves as a powerful educational tool for
her sons, surpassing her own abilities to teach them. She stressed the importance of
the arts as a platform for mutual encouragement and growth within the community.

opportunities locally to retain spending within the community.

similar passion. She recounted a former student's gratitude for the transformative
experience the theater provided. Flinton proudly announced purchasing tickets for
her church group to attend an upcoming production of "Legally Blonde,"

community resource would be at risk of closure. Flinton commended the council

contributed ideas and assured that they would be reviewed and possibly brought

financial burden on the city. He mentioned a prepared document estimating a total
cost of $7.6 million for necessary repairs. Councilmember Huynh acknowledged
the input of the twelve individuals who had spoken, noting that six were from West

represent the interests of all 145,000 residents of the city. Councilmember Huynh
recounted the public outcry following a previous property tax increase,
emphasizing a reluctance to impose such a burden on taxpayers again. He stressed
the importance of finding a balanced solution that addresses the needs of the
community without resorting to significant tax hikes. Councilmember Huynh
concluded by sharing this perspective with the council and the audience, posing the
question of whether another 17% property tax increase was warranted to fund the
necessary repairs. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to share these
considerations.

seconded the motion.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION ZT-3-2024,
FILED BY WEST VALLEY CITY, REQUESTING A ZONE TEXT
CHANGE TO DEFINE THE TERM MASONRY WALL, REQUIRE A
CERTAIN TYPE OF MASONRY WALL FOR DOUBLE FRONTAGE
LOTS ALONG ARTERIAL STREETS, AND UPDATE THE STANDARDS
ON EXTERIOR BUILDING MATERIALS
Mayor Lang informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular Council
Meeting scheduled May 14, 2024, in order for the City Council to hear and consider
public comments regarding Application ZT-3-2024, Filed by West Valley City,
Requesting a Zone Text Change to Define the Term Masonry Wall, Require a Certain
MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MAY 14, 2024
-6-
Type of Masonry Wall for Double Frontage Lots Along Arterial Streets, and Update
the Standards on Exterior Building Materials.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
Throughout the City’s zoning ordinance, there are many references to
masonry walls. Staff has seen recent examples of walls made to look like
masonry walls but are actually fiberglass, foam, or some other product that
isn’t concrete, brick, or stone. For ordinance clarity as well as wall
durability and aesthetics, staff is proposing a masonry wall definition.
For many years, the City’s subdivision ordinance has required masonry
walls for double frontage lots along arterial streets. Since no specific
masonry wall type or color was specified, a variety of walls have been
installed. However, in recent years, the City has installed the same
patterned and colored, precast concrete wall along along 2700 West, 4100
South, and 4700 South. For consistency, staff is proposing that the same
wall type be used for all subdivisions with double frontage lots along
arterial streets.
The City recently amended the exterior building materials standards in the
5600 West Overlay Zone (Ordinance 23-40). While reviewing this change,
the Council asked staff to see if other updates to the City’s exterior
building materials standards were warranted. The proposed changes to
exterior building materials use consistent terms across different code
sections, expand what is considered masonry on commercial buildings,
allow additional materials in the City Center zone that have been allowed
in that zone by development agreement.
Mayor Lang opened the Public Hearing. There being no one to speak in favor or
opposition, Mayor Lang closed the Public Hearing.

information as follows:
The Mountain America Federal Credit Union property located at 2551 S.

Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
The BPAZ Holdings 34, LLC, parcels located at 2343 S. and 2379 S. Decker
Lake Boulevard are two of several properties affected by the Brighton Canal
Storm Drain Project; 2600 West to Redwood Road, scheduled to be
constructed in 2024. This project will include construction of storm drain
piping through portions of the former Brighton Canal and eliminate any
open storm water ditches through the project area.
Decker Lake Business Park was developed prior to the incorporation of
West Valley City. Storm water was historically allowed to drain into two
ditches on either side of the Brighton Canal. This existing system does not
function very well and has caused ongoing maintenance and flooding
problems. The Brighton Canal no longer operates in this area and has
largely been abandoned, which now provides the opportunity to consolidate
and pipe the storm water into one system.
Upon inquiry by Mayor Lang there were no further questions from members of the
City Council, and she called for a motion.

Councilmember Christensen seconded the motion.

Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
The Southwest Economic Development Area was created to encourage
development and redevelopment in the southwestern part of the City. The
project area will expire in the near future. Due to the configuration of the
property described above, the property owner will be required to

develop. Salt Lake County will not approve a property that is partially
included and partially excluded from an economic development area. This
ordinance removes the property described above to permit the owner to
move forward with development.
This action will not have a negative impact on the economic development
area and is being undertaken with the support and at the request of the
property owner.

City Council, and she called for a motion.
