AWARDS, CEREMONIES AND PROCLAMATIONS SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 24, 2018 A. UTAH RECREATION AND PARKS ASSOCIATION AWARD PRESENTATION Mayor Bigelow indicated that LeeAnn Powell, Executive Director for Utah Recreation and Parks Association, will be presenting an award for the West Valley Family Fitness Center Low Income Swimming Lesson Program. The Program is described as follows: Drowning has continued to be a leading cause of accidental death for children throughout the United States and is even more prevalent in areas where socioeconomic limitations exist. The aquatic staff at the WVC Family Fitness Center have found that there was an increase in rescues in the pool (10-15 per week) and that there have been fewer teenagers available to hire as lifeguards because many didn't know how to swim. The decision was made to put a greater emphasis on increasing the number of swimming lessons that were taught, especially to those falling into the lower income brackets. With the help of grant dollars, the swim lesson program was modified to be able to allow all WVC children who qualify for free or reduced school lunch to be enrolled in the learn to swim program free of charge. This life saving program is not only offered at the Family Fitness Center but an outreach element was also implemented. The Family Fitness Center traveled to a local apartment complex, Tuscany Cove, where they brought staff and supplies and taught swimming lessons free of charge to their low income youth residents that had a difficult time traveling to the Family Fitness Center. These lessons were offered twice per week throughout the summer. The efforts of this enhanced swim lesson program has resulted in 800+ free swimming lesson sessions to low income youth. This not only has created a higher degree of safety but will also create work opportunities in the aquatic industry as  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – APRIL 17, 2018 -3- these children mature. Parents and youth have expressed sincere appreciation for this program on numerous occasions. COUNCILMEMBER HUYNH ARRIVED AT 4:32 PM. RESOLUTION 18-44: AUTHORIZE WEST VALLEY CITY TO APPLY FOR A FEDERAL GRANT ENTITLED "THE TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY ADDRESSING PRECIPITOUS INCREASES IN CRIME GRANT" (TIPS) Deputy Chief Anita Schwemmer presented proposed Resolution 18-44 that would authorize the City to apply for a Federal Grant entitled "The Technology Innovation for Public Safety Addressing Precipitous Increases in Crime Grant" (TIPS) Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: The U.S. Department of Justice Programs is allowing the West Valley City Police Department to apply for a FY18 TIPS Grant for the implementation of innovative and replicable projects that combat precipitous increases in crime, with an emphasis on addressing violent crime, human trafficking, and the opioid crisis. The funds may be used to purchase justice information sharing and data analysis technology. This includes software, hardware, hosted residentially or remotely, that plays a role in the collection, storage, sharing, and analysis of criminal justice data. The TIPS Grant covers a 24-month program period. The TIPS Grant is a competitive grant requiring an application. Applicants are asked to define their unique challenges and the associated impact on local communities, and provide a comprehensive implementation plan for using justice information-sharing technology to reduce or mitigate crime problem(s). West Valley City’s Police Department will apply for the TIPS Grant to fund a multi- faceted program intended to address the opioid crisis in West Valley City through several technological solutions including MobilePD (community engagement application), NC4 Signal (social networking analysis tool), PENLINK extension (tool which converts post-search-warrant data into a searchable, readable report), Chip-Off (physical extraction of data from phones), and PredPol (predictive policing program). West Valley City, like many cities in the US, has been impacted by the opioid crisis through increases in violent crime, drug trafficking, and community health challenges. West Valley City had a 27.5% increase in opiate-related crimes in 2017 compared to 2016. The 2018 TIPS Grant would give the Police Department innovative tools that can be utilized to lessen these impacts to our community.  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – APRIL 17, 2018 -4- Councilmember Lang asked if the City will provide any matching funds. Deputy Chief Schwemmer replied none that she is aware of. Mayor Bigelow stated that this approval will not guarantee that the City obtains the grant. Deputy Chief Schwemmer agreed and added that it simply allows the City to apply for it. The City Council will consider Resolution 18-44 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled April 24, 2018, at 6:30 P.M. RESOLUTION 18-45: AUTHORIZE WEST VALLEY CITY TO PURCHASE FIRE STATION ALERTING SYSTEMS FROM US DIGITAL DESIGNS (USDD), INC. FOR ALL SIX WEST VALLEY CITY FIRE STATIONS John Evans, Fire Chief, presented proposed Resolution 18-45 that would authorize West Valley City to purchase Fire Station Alerting Systems from US Digital Designs (USDD), Inc. for all six West Valley City Fire Stations. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: The City has a need to replace the Fire Station Alerting System in all 6 Fire Stations in order to be digitally compatible with the new Hexagon Computer Aided Dispatch network. The Alerting System will be purchased from US Digital Designs, Inc. Vendor and equipment are on the Utah State Purchasing Contract ensuring competitive pricing. West Valley City is part of a County wide upgrade which includes over 50 Fire Stations. Funding will be through reimbursement from VECC. The entire amount of this project will be reimbursed to West Valley City during this fiscal year. Councilmember Buhler asked when the switchover will occur. Chief Evans replied it will likely occur in September. He briefly explained how both the old and new Fire Stations will function with the VECC system. Upon inquiry, there were no further questions or concerns expressed by members of the City Council. The City Council will consider Resolution 18-45 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled April 24, 2018, at 6:30 P.M. RESOLUTION 18-46: AWARD A CONTRACT TO UTAH DESIGN CENTER FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE INDOOR TRACK AT THE WEST VALLEY CITY FAMILY FITNESS CENTER  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – APRIL 17, 2018 -5- Jaime Young, Parks and Recreation Department, presented proposed Resolution 18-46 that would award a contract to Utah Design Center for replacement of the indoor track at the West Valley City Family Fitness Center. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: The Parks and Recreation Department publicly advertised for proposals to replace the indoor track at the Family Fitness Center. Work has been performed over the years to keep the indoor track safe and functional, however, there have been ongoing cosmetic issues as well as “soft” spots. The project solicitation was posted in the newspaper and several companies were contacted personally by staff. The proposals were evaluated and compared against each other in a matrix format by a committee of three. Of the four proposals, two met the proposal’s specifications. Their proposed prices are as follows: Utah Design Center: $61,900 Dynamic: $71,808 Out of these proposals, Utah Design Center was the lowest responsible, responsive bidder. Councilmember Huynh asked if this is the first full replacement of the indoor track. Jaime replied yes. Councilmember Fitisemanu asked what the anticipated longevity for the new track is. Jaime replied that there is a 15 year guarantee but a similar track in the State has already lasted 18 years with limited repair so the City anticipates a much longer lifetime. Councilmember Buhler asked what the downtime where the track will be unusable is anticipated to be. Jaime replied 5-7 days depending on the condition of the existing concrete underneath the track. Councilmember Buhler asked when the demolition and installation will occur. Jaime replied it is expected to occur in June. Councilmember Buhler asked if the City will be responsible for any damage to the existing concrete under the track. Jaime replied that this is not anticipated but would depend on the type of damage. Mayor Bigelow asked if there are any comparable indoor tracks in the valley. Jaime replied the Lehi Legacy Center is very similar and has had the same track for approximately 18 years. Mayor Bigelow asked if this type of surface is new. Jaime replied no and added that it meets specifications for indoor sports flooring which varies from outdoor requirements that may be different. Upon inquiry, there were no further questions or concerns expressed by members of the City Council.  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – APRIL 17, 2018 -6- The City Council will consider Resolution 18-46 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled April 24, 2018, at 6:30 P.M.

ORDINANCE UPDATE DISCUSSION- TITLE 7 Steve Pastorik described and discussed the following specific proposed updates to Title 7: - Section 7-1-103  Change: amends the definition of Commissary by eliminating reference to 10,000 square feet o Why: We’ve had businesses under 10,000 square feet proposed that would be a commissary if it weren’t for the 10,000 square feet reference. Without this change, such businesses would be included in agricultural business, which is more restrictive. - Section 7-2-115  Change: includes agricultural zones in the truck restrictions o Why: Many agricultural zones within the City, like Sugarplum Farms, are developed as residential subdivisions and should follow the same vehicle restrictions as other residential areas. - Sections 7-2-118 and 7-6-303  Change: requires a trash enclosure upon issuance of a new business license on a developed site o Why: There are many commercial properties in the City that were developed at a time when trash enclosures were not required. This provision provides staff a clear standard for when we can require an older site to be brought into compliance. - Section 7-6-201  Change: changes the following uses from conditional to permitted in certain zones: day care/preschool center, day care/preschool center in MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – APRIL 17, 2018 -11- conjunction with a church, mobile home, nursing home/convalescent center, medical and dental office, professional office, twin home, and two- unit dwelling. o Why: Conditional uses are coming under increased scrutiny at the State level. For this reason, staff conducted a review of all conditional uses in the code and identified those uses that are much less likely to have detrimental effects on neighboring properties given the other uses allowed in the zone. - Section 7-6-202  Change: Increases the maximum accessory building height in the RE Zone from 1 to 1.5 stories. o In the Newton Farm subdivision, buyers of the larger homes are also wanting larger garages for storage. - Sections 7-6-203 and 7-6-303  Change: Inserts triggers for landscaping compliance on a developed site o Why: There are many commercial properties in the City that were developed at a time when less landscaping was required. This provision provides staff a clear standard for when we can require an older site to be brought into compliance. - Section 7-6-301  Change: changes the following uses from conditional to permitted in certain zones: automobile service, brew restaurant, caretaker’s dwelling, convenience store, fuel sales, recreational facility beer retailer, towing and impound yard, and vehicle recycling facility. o Why: Conditional uses are coming under increased scrutiny at the State level. For this reason, staff conducted a review of all conditional uses in the code and identified those uses that are much less likely to have detrimental effects on neighboring properties given the other uses allowed in the zone.  Change: changes the following uses from conditional to permitted when not adjacent to residential in certain zones: automobile service, convenience store, indoor event center, fuel sales, grocery store, home improvement center, hospital, indoor kennel, lodging facility, outdoor recreation, RV sales, vehicle recycling facility. o Why: Conditional uses are coming under increased scrutiny at the State level. For this reason, staff conducted a review of all conditional uses in the code and identified those uses that are much less likely to have detrimental effects on neighboring properties MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – APRIL 17, 2018 -12- given the other uses allowed in the zone. In this case, the listed uses would remain conditional when next to a residential use.  Change: changes the following uses from permitted to permitted when not adjacent to residential in certain zones: automobile service; bus terminal; commercial raising, rental, stabling, training and grazing of animals; commissary; convenience store; equestrian school; equity club, fraternal club, social club; indoor event center; fuel sales; grocery store; heavy equipment sales and service; new heavy truck and trailer sales; used heavy truck and trailer sales; heavy truck and trailer service; home improvement center; hospital; light industrial; indoor kennel; lodging facility; moving truck rental business; public utility installation; outdoor recreation; RV sales, self-storage facility; towing and impound yard; turf farm equipment manufacturing; and warehouse. o Why: The Manufacturing Zone currently requires any use adjacent to a residential use to be reviewed as a conditional use. These changes move the conditional use requirement to the table for those uses which were considered to have potential detrimental effects on neighboring residential uses. - Section 7-6-303  Change: Includes a trigger for installing a masonry wall on a developed site next to a residential use o Why: There are many commercial properties in the City that were developed at a time when a masonry wall was not required. This provision provides staff a clear standard for when we can require an older site to be brought into compliance. - Section 7-6-307  Change: removes the provision that makes uses next to residential zones or uses conditional uses (this is now address in the use table in Section 7- 6-301) o Why: This provision will now be addressed in the land use table in Section 7-6-301. - Section 7-7-101  Change: only requires 5 acres for agricultural industry uses with live animals o Why: As staff, we believe the 5 acre provision was intended for agricultural industry with live animals. - Section 7-7-115 MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – APRIL 17, 2018 -13-  Change: amends home child care standards to match State code o Why: The Council asked staff to make this change. - Section 7-8-103  Change: removes list of detrimental effects from conditional use standards o Why: This section is being simplified to follow State code. - Section 7-9-114  Change: requires all off-street parking to be hard surfaced with concrete or asphalt except for the situations listed o Why: As staff, we believe the intent of this Section was to always require concrete or asphalt for parking unless one of the listed exceptions applied. In other words, a business should not be able to use gravel customer parking for those stalls that exceed the minimum number of stalls required.  Change: includes gravel in the maximum amount of hard-surface area allowed o Why: As staff, we believe the intent of this provision was to apply the restriction on any surface that was used for parking. - Section 7-2-114 – Revision: reinserts language about fencing materials from previous version of Title 7 - Section 7-6-201 – Revision: adds assisted living facility to the table (nursing home is already allowed) - Section 7-6-202 – Revision: fixes maximum building height for all buildings - Section 7-6-203 – Revision: Includes outside storage restrictions in all residential and agricultural zones - Section 7-6-204 – Revision: moves outside storage restrictions to Section 7-6- 203 - Section 7-6-209 – Revision: changes single family home to single unit dwelling - Section 7-6-307 – Revision: clarifies that the minimum setback in the M Zone still applies to buildings that meet the Commercial Design Standards - Section 7-6-310 – Revision: reinserts standards for the LI zone that were erroneously left out  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – APRIL 17, 2018 -14- - 7-6-405 – Revision: capitalizes the word fenestration - Section 7-7-126 – Revision: reinserts use specific regulations for turf farm equipment that were erroneously left out - Section 7-8-103 – Revision: removes list of detrimental effects from conditional use standards - Section 7-8-104 – Revision: reinserts CUP termination language - Section 7-9-105 – Revision: changes multi-family residential to residential - Section 7-10-204 – Revision: clarifies that ornamental entryway trees do not come from the list in - Section 7-10-103 - Section 7-10-204 – Revision: updates the standard drawings for streetlights to match the latest specifications from Public Works - Section 7-11-202 – Revision: makes the Single Unit Dwelling and Two Unit Dwelling design standards applicable to Twin Homes - Section 7-11-206 – Revision: makes the Single Unit Dwelling and Two Unit Dwelling landscaping and irrigation standards applicable to Twin Homes - Section 7-12-106 – Revision: corrects a reference (the wrong Section number was used) - Section 7-13-511 – Revision: updates final plat preparation and required information standards to match current City practice and to match current utility practice Steve described how specific reviews are triggered per inquiry by Councilmember Buhler. He also discussed grandfathering, transfer of licenses, etc. C. DESIGN STANDARDS IN THE COMMERCIAL ZONE Steve Pastorik provided a PowerPoint Presentation summarized as follows: - Building Exteriors MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – APRIL 17, 2018 -15- o Primary façade shall be at least 50% masonry, all other façades shall have at least 35% masonryDefined as brick, stuccco, stone, or fiber cement siding o Metal, wood, and vinyl to be used only as trim or accent material o Controlled use of color o Subtle, subdued, neutral tones - Viewed Pictures of the following sites: o Valley Fair Mall  Olive Garden, Deseret Book, TGI Fridays, Sushi Monster, Zupas, Mall entrance, Cupbop, Petco, Rue 21 and the Childrens Place, Ross, Costco, In-N-Out, Wells Fargo, Jimmy Johns, and Wingers o Northwest Commercial  Winco, Maverik, Chilis, Café Rio, Wing Nuts, Cyprus Credit Union, Buffett City, Colt Plaza Car Wash, Verizon and Five Guys, Mountain America Credit Union, Deseret Industries, Discount Tire, Subway, and Dental Offices o Near Maverik Center  Costa Vida, Twin Dragon Plaza and First Utah Bank, Twin Dragon Plaza Strip Mall, First Utah Bank, Glens Tires, Holiday Inn and DHS/ICE Facility, Staybridge Suites, AGC Headquarters Office Building, Montessori School/ Day Care- Dancing Moose o Hilton Homes to Suites o Holiday Oil o Hunter Hollow o Village Inn o AAA West Valley Storage o Chase Bank and Cyprus CU Councilmember Buhler stated that he isn’t sure that stucco is a significant concern. Councilmember Lang indicated that she doesn’t understand why residential has more difficult requirements than commercial and the Council should consider balancing this. Steve explained what the Council previously discussed for changes to residential and multi-family standards. Councilmember Lang stated that she feels standards should be more consistent. Staff and the Council discussed various building material types and quality. Councilmember Nordfelt stated that he doesn’t feel requirements need to be matched among all development types. He indicated that he would be in favor of allowing stucco on residential but not changing commercial standards. Mayor Bigelow stated that that stone and brick seem to be higher quality than stucco, fiber cement board, and cement block. He stated it’s  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – APRIL 17, 2018 -16- important to determine what needs to be limited or restricted and he would prefer to limit cement block over stucco. Mayor Bigelow indicated that a lot of commercial buildings in the City seem to be built almost 100% masonry, including stucco. Councilmember Christensen stated that some businesses have a certain look that they maintain City to City. Councilmember Buhler indicated Park City has their own set of standards but added that this doesn’t necessarily make something better. Mayor Bigelow stated that he has a bias toward brick and stone because he feels they have a greater longevity and are easier to maintain. Councilmember Fitisemanu stated that businesses are different than homes. Steve discussed primary and secondary façade’s. Councilmember Lang indicated that she will provide pictures of various different buildings that display different building materials for the Council to consider. D. COUNCIL CALENDAR Mayor Bigelow referenced a Memorandum previously received from the City Manager that outlined upcoming meetings and events. Members of the City Council had no further questions regarding the Council Update. NEW BUSINESS A. POTENTIAL FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS Council Suggestions Councilmember Huynh stated that he viewed a video online that depicted a disruptive and disrespectful person in a Council meeting. He feels it’s important to have a Police Officer attend City Council meetings. Councilmember Buhler stated that City staff and Council should discuss this in a closed session under “Deployment of Security”. Councilmember Huynh agreed that would be appropriate. UTOPIA Councilmember Buhler stated that the Council has heard several reports on UTOPIA leaving a mess and not leaving a mess after installing lines during their construction process. Mayor Bigelow commented that a lot of work is completed by subcontractors and suggested providing an appropriate complaint forum for residents. Paul indicated that he would be happy to set something up with UTOPIA to report on the issue. Mayor Bigelow requested an update on bonding and a clarification on how complaints are addressed. Councilmember Buhler stated that he would like an update on the UTOPIA project as a whole. Councilmember Fitisemanu agreed and requested information on UTOPIA notification processes. Railroad Crossing Noise Concern MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – APRIL 17, 2018 -17- Mayor Bigelow and the City Council discussed loud, routine noises coming from newly operating railways. Russ Willardson indicated that there is a significant process that must occur before a quiet zone is established. He explained the process for establishing this zone and indicated that the City is willing to begin the process where improvements currently exist. Russ discussed other locations where improvements don’t exist and the cost that the City will incur. The Mayor and Council discussed the specific locations, the applications, and the process of establishing a quiet zone. Councilmember Buhler questioned if horns can be prevented from blowing at night under an economic development zone. Mayor Bigelow and the Council encouraged the City to submit the paperwork for a quiet zone wherever possible. The City discussed the cost of improvements. Mayor Bigelow suggested reconstruction in the future plans for the City’s budget. Councilmember Lang encouraged the City to work on the 7200 West crossing as soon as possible to provide a longer stretch of quiet zone. Councilmember Fitisemanu encouraged economic development to look into restricting times as well. Councilmember Buhler suggested finding grants or funds. Ordinance Enforcement (Parking and Rental Homes) Mayor Bigelow requested parking restrictions on specific streets. Councilmember Lang asked if the City can provide numbers of restrictions on rental home properties. Layne indicated that storage is not allowed on single family homes and if this is occurring, it can be reported and Code Enforcement will take a look at the issue. Councilmember Buhler added that residents can report anonymously and he would like to see this information shared with residents by way of social media, the website, or Neighborhood Night Out Events. Councilmember Lang suggested education on ordinance enforcement’s “don’t’s”.
