Upon inquiry by Mayor Bigelow, members of the Council had no further questions or
concerns regarding items listed on the Agendas for the Regular City Council and Special

PUBLIC HEARINGS SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 16, 2019
A. ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION ZT-2-2019,
FILED BY WEST VALLEY CITY, REQUESTING A ZONE TEXT
CHANGE TO PROHIBIT SELF-STORAGE FACILITIES IN THE 'C-2'
(GENERAL COMMERCIAL) ZONE
Mayor Bigelow informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular
Council Meeting scheduled April 16, 2019, in order for the City Council to hear
and consider public comments regarding application ZT-2-2019, filed by West
Valley City, requesting a Zone Text Change to prohibit self-storage facilities in the
'C-2' (General Commercial) zone.
Proposed Ordinance 19-10 related to the proposal to be considered by the City
Council subsequent to the public hearing, was discussed as follows:
ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 19-10, AMEND SECTION 7-6-301 AND 7-7-
122 OF THE WEST VALLEY CITY MUNICIPAL CODE TO AMEND THE
ZONES IN WHICH SELF-STORAGE FACILITIES ARE PERMITTED
Nicole Cottle, CED Director, discussed proposed Ordinance 19-10 that would
amend Section 7-6-301 and 7-7-122 of the West Valley City Municipal Code to
amend the aones in which self-storage facilities are permitted.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
City staff is requesting a zone text change to prohibit self-storage facilities in
the C-2 (General Commercial) zone. Currently self-storage facilities are
allowed as a conditional use in the C-2, C-3 (Transitional Commercial) and LI
(Light Industrial) zones. They are also allowed as a permitted use in the M
(Manufacturing) zone when not adjacent to a residential use, residential zone
or agricultural zone. Self-storage facilities are allowed as a conditional use in
the M zone when adjacent residential use, residential zone or agricultural
zone. Self-storage facilities are prohibited in the following overlay zones:
Decker Lake Station, Jordan River, Bangerter Highway and 5600 West. The
reasons for the proposed change are listed below.
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – APRIL 9, 2019

Self-storage facilities create no synergy in commercial areas. Uses like
hotels, restaurants, grocery stores and theaters within a commercial
district are synergistic. For example, someone eating out may also see
a movie. Aside from truck rental, self-storage facilities are not
synergistic with other commercial uses and add very little activity to
an area.
Self-storage facilities generate no sales tax.
The examples staff has seen of conversions of retail space to self-
storage facilities are unattractive with little to no improvement to the
exterior of dated buildings.
Based on data from the Salt Lake County Assessor’s Office, there are
already 23 self-storage facilities in the City with an additional 4
facilities at various stages of either construction or approval. Of the 27
total, 13 are zoned C-2, 1 is zoned C-3 and 13 are zoned M.
The three main commercial corridors within the City with the most C-
2 zoning are 3500 S, 5600 W and Redwood Road. Each of these
streets has existing transit service with plans for additional or
enhanced service in the future. These streets also generally have
sidewalks. From a transportation perspective, it is better to have uses
like office, retail and residential in areas with transit service and
sidewalks because these uses are more likely to benefit from transit
and walking than uses like self-storage, warehouses and industrial.
Under the proposed ordinance, self-storage facilities would still be
allowed in C-3, LI and M zones that are not impacted by an overlay
zone. This results in approximately 7,800 acres or about 1/3 of the
City.
Councilmember Fitisemanu arrived at 4:33 PM.
Mayor Bigelow asked why self-storage facilities would still be allowed in ‘C-3’
zones under this proposal. Nicole replied that ‘C-3’ is similar to ‘LI’ and City
Staff felt the use wouldn’t necessarily have the same impact that it would in the
‘C-2’ zone. Councilmember Buhler asked if there is an ability to restrict this use
to ‘M’ zones only. Nicole replied yes and added that the Council has this ability.
She indicated that the City feels self-storage units have been given ample
opportunity and space in the City from a business perspective. The Mayor and
Council agreed that restricting self-storage to ‘M’ zones only seems to be an
appropriate action. Councilmember Nordfelt asked if an applicant will be able to
open a self-storage business in the ‘C-2’ zone if they have already submitted an
application prior to the Council considering this change. Nicole replied yes and
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – APRIL 9, 2019

stated that an applicant is considered vested once an application has been
submitted.
The City Council will consider Ordinance 19-10 at the Regular Council Meeting
scheduled April 16, 2019 at 6:30 P.M.
RESOLUTION 19-41: AWARD A CONTRACT TO NOORDA BUILDING
ENVELOPE CONTRACTOR FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE CLUBHOUSE
ROOF AT STONEBRIDGE GOLF CLUB
Nancy Day, Parks and Recreation Director, presented proposed Resolution 19-41 that
would award a contract to Noorda Building Envelope Contractor for replacement of the
clubhouse roof at Stonebridge Golf Club.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
Parks and Recreation publicly advertised for proposals for repair and reshingle
work on the Stonebridge Golf Club clubhouse roof. The current roof is 19+ years
old and has signs of extensive wear including leaking and shingle loss due to
weather which has required frequent repair work. This project will preserve the
integrity of the facility and prevent future damage and additional costs. A program
modification was approved for this project.
The proposals were evaluated and compared against each other. Of the two
proposals, only one met specifications. This was submitted by Noorda Building
Envelope Contractor for a proposed price of $88,158.00. They have completed
work for West Valley City in the past with good results.
Councilmember Buhler clarified that this is a standard asphalt shingle on a pitched roof.
Nancy replied yes and detailed the scope of the project. Councilmember Buhler asked if
change orders may be needed. Nancy replied yes but added that an independent contractor
came to review prior to bidding and felt the request submitted would be sufficient. Mayor
Bigelow asked how long the guarantee on the roof is. Nancy replied a minimum of 20
years. Councilmember Buhler commented that this seems to be expensive for a roof.
Nancy replied that the market is tough right now and bidders aren’t bidding on projects as
much since there is a lot of work out there. Councilmember Huynh asked how large the
roof is. Nancy replied 84,000 square foot. Mayor Bigelow asked why a 20-year shingle
was chosen as opposed to a 30-year one. Nancy replied that the independent contractor’s
advice was taken on this aspect as well as cost. Councilmember Fitisemanu asked if the
price would vary significantly if more bidders had bid. Nancy replied she doesn’t believe
so. Mayor Bigelow and the Council encouraged Nancy to ask for the difference in cost of

a 30-year shingle.
The City Council will consider Resolution 19-41 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled
April 16, 2019 at 6:30 P.M.
CONSIDER APPLICATION SMI-3-2018, FILED BY SCOTT GODFREY,
REQUESTING FINAL PLAT APPROVAL FOR THE GODFREY INDUSTRIAL
PARK SUBDIVISION LOCATED AT 6173 WEST 2100 SOUTH
Steve Lehman, CED, presented Application SMI-3-2018, filed by Scott Godfrey,
requesting Final Plat Approval for the Godfrey Industrial Park Subdivision located at 6173
West 2100 South.
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. The subject property is located at 6173 West 2100 South and is
bordered by a variety of manufacturing uses on the east, south and west.
At the present time, the subdivision boundary consists of 5 parcels. The proposed
subdivision is being requested in order to consolidate these parcels into 2 lots. The
long term plan for Mr. Godfreys Industrial Park include additional buildings. The
consolidation of these parcels will allow for this expansion with greater ease.
Access to the subdivision will be gained from 2100 South. Presently, there are two
access points that will serve this subdivision. It is anticipated that these access
points will not change as they provide access on both the east and west portions of
the subdivision. Lot 2 does not have direct access to 2100 South. Therefore,
internal access and parking easements will need to be recorded along with the plat.
Existing easements and areas denoted as Fema Flood Zone A will be shown on the
subdivision plat. Future development on these newly created lots will require
additional staff reviews. Depending upon the land use, these reviews could be
conditional and/or permitted. In summary, the subdivision plat will consolidate
existing parcels into lots and will provide information on easements and Fema
Flood Zone A areas.
Councilmember Lang asked if the parcel with the existing building is its own lot. Steve
replied yes. Councilmember Lang asked if the small lot depicted on the plat will have a
purpose. Steve replied yes and indicated that it will be used for access. Councilmember
Christensen asked why the applicant chose two lots and not one. Steve replied he is unsure

but believes it has something to do with the family and the way the property is split amongst
them.
The City Council will consider Application SMI-3-2018 at the Regular Council Meeting
scheduled April 3, 2019 at 6:30 P.M.
CONSIDER APPLICATION SMI-1-2019, FILED BY MIKE OLSEN,
REPRESENTING PROPERTY RESERVE INC., REQUESTING FINAL PLAT
APPROVAL FOR THE VIEWS SUBDIVISION LOCATED AT 6500 SOUTH 5600
WEST
Steve Lehman, CED, presented Application SMI-1-2019, filed by Mike Olsen,
representing Property Reserve Inc., requesting Final Plat Approval for the Views
Subdivision located at 6500 South 5600 West.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
Mike Olsen, representing Property Reserve Inc., is requesting final plat approval
for the Views Subdivision. The subject property is presently vacant and is located
south of the Walmart on 6200 South and 5600 West and immediately east of the
Diamond Summit Subdivision.
The proposed subdivision is being requested in order to divide the existing parcel
into 6 lots for future development. It is anticipated that future uses on lots 2-5
(zoned RM) will be town homes, senior apartments and assisted living. Lots 1 and
6 are zoned C-2 and will develop with some type of commercial use.
Access to the subdivision will be gained from 5600 West and from a stub street in
the Diamond Summit Subdivision to the west. The connection coming out of
Diamond Summit will travel through the Rocky Mountain Power Corridor. Mr.
Olsen has secured the easement from Rocky Mountain Power in favor of West
Valley City for this connection. Although future uses are not expected for a time,
the developer will be required to build the road as shown on the subdivision plat.
Plan and profiles have been submitted and are close to being approved by the
Engineering Division.
As each of these lots develop, additional reviews will be necessary. Therefore, it
is not necessary that the review of the subdivision plat be all inclusive as more
detailed reviews will take place later. This subdivision plat will simply create the
lots and will dedicate the public right-of-way.
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – APRIL 9, 2019

Councilmember Buhler asked if the road through the project will be dedicated. Steve
replied yes. Councilmember Buhler asked if the Council will review the individual plats
when they come through. Steve replied yes.
The City Council will consider Application SMI-1-2019 at the Regular Council Meeting
scheduled April 3, 2019 at 6:30 P.M.
CONSIDER APPLICATION SMI-2-2019, FILED BY ROMAN FRAZIER,
REQUESTING FINAL SUBDIVISION APPROVAL FOR THE MOUNTAIN VIEW
BUSINESS PLAZA SUBDIVISION LOCATED AT 3330 SOUTH 5600 WEST
Steve Lehman, CED, presented Application SMI-2-2019, filed by Roman Frazier,
requesting Final Subdivision Approval for the Mountain View Business Plaza Subdivision
located at 3330 South 5600 West.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
Roman Frazier, is requesting final subdivision approval for the Mountain View
Business Plaza Subdivision. The subject property is located at approximately 3330
South 5600 West. The property is zoned C-2 and is bordered on the north and south
by existing commercial development, the east by 5600 West and the west by vacant
property and the Mountain View Corridor.
The proposed subdivision will divide 5 existing parcels into 6 lots. The existing
parcels were created by metes and bounds descriptions and not by recorded plat.
Mr. Frazier is proposing to develop the old Kmart building and would like to adjust
existing boundaries of the 5 parcels to create the new lots.
Access to the property will be gained from 5600 West. Due to some lots not having
frontage along 5600 West, cross access easements have been provided in and
through the subdivision. The developer will be required to coordinate access with
the Utah Department of Transportation should the existing points of access change.
The C-2 zone requires a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet. Lots within the
subdivision range in size from .98 acres to 5.2 acres, well in excess of the minimum
requirement. Due to this application being a commercial subdivision, other land
use regulations will be addressed during the conditional use and/or permitted use
applications.
Councilmember Huynh clarified that the applicant has worked with UDOT for the new
proposed lighted intersection. Steve replied yes. Mayor Bigelow asked if the storm water
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – APRIL 9, 2019
-8-
detention basin could eventually be used for something. Steve replied yes. Upon inquiry,
Steve stated grading and drainage plans as well as cross access easements will be provided.
Councilmember Christensen asked why there is no proposed light at Walmart. Steve
replied UDOT has specific spacing requirements. Mayor Bigelow asked if the rest of the
property is zoned ‘C-2’. Steve replied yes. Mayor Bigelow stated that parking could
become a concern in the future with the development of different lots.
The City Council will consider Application SMI-2-2019 at the Regular Council Meeting
scheduled April 3, 2019 at 6:30 P.M.
COMMUNICATIONS
A. SOCIAL WORKER CONTRACT UPDATE
Colleen Jacobs, Police Chief, introduced Ammon Fox, Police Department
Sergeant, and Tori Yates, Police Department Social Worker, who presented a
PowerPoint presentation summarized as follows:
- University of Utah Neuropsychiatric Institute Partnership (Licensed
Clinical Social Worker Advantages)
o Homeless Outreach
24 recent contacts identified to be homeless or at risk of
being homeless
LCSW working to connect the individuals to
resources
M.D. from Cultural Center Drive
Chronically homeless, substance abuse issues
and mentally ill
Multiple contacts have been made and resources
have been offered, all have been declined
Many of the chronically homeless have sufficient
resources to get into housing through multiple avenues
but choose to be homeless
It has been discovered that nearly all of our homeless
contacts have a substance abuse disorder and mental
illness
This contract began with the understanding that the
LCSW would primarily be assigned to homeless
outreach and secondarily mental health related cases.
Our LCSW began during the winter and the vast majority
of the homeless population has migrated out of the city
and only the most chronic cases remained. It is
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – APRIL 9, 2019

anticipated that as the weather warms the number of
contacts will rise exponentially.
o Crisis Intervention
Assisted on 110 police cases
170 hours of case management
The LCSW has been doing case management on all cases
worked and has also been assigned cases which meet the
criteria of having a mental health component with the
intent to identify intervention opportunities.
Initially we cast a wide net and applied the LCSW to a
wide array of different cases to attempt to discover where
we would see the most value in terms of realized value
to the city and to the individuals who received services.
o Case Highlights
L.K. Mental Health Issues Chronic Abuse of Services
63 calls for service between June and the first
week in October 2018
LCSW was able to involuntarily commit for
treatment upon first meeting L.K. Fall of 2018
Only one call for service in January after a fall
Now in assisted living due to the intervention
efforts
L.K. never met criteria by which Law
Enforcement could commit for her to receive
mental health treatment however with the
broader criteria of the LCSW she was able to
commit her on her first visit based on her
declining presentation
With subsequent follow up after she discharged
from the hospital the LCSW was able to
eliminate unnecessary calls for service.
LCSW coordinated with the case manager at the
hospital to advocate for L.K. to go to an assisted
living center upon discharge as she was not
capable of living alone at the time.
The 4 calls in November were LCSW follow ups
Of the 3 calls in January, 2 were LCSW follow
ups and 1 was a medical emergency
T.S Mental Health Issues Chronic, Severe

improvement in quality of life

Found living in deplorable conditions
Return to More Restrictive Environment form
completed by the Social Worker December 17th
At serious risk for homelessness
As of March 21st, 2019 he was actively
participating in the Mental Health Court process
When the LCSW became aware of him, she was
able to determine that he was on a civil
commitment – information that LEO do not have
access to
LCSW is a Designated Examiner for the State of
Utah and having access to the 3rd District’s Civil
Mental Health commitment list meaning the
LCSW was able to readmit him to the hospital for
treatment under a previous commitment order
The criteria for a readmission under these
circumstances is less restrictive than that of a
Pink Sheet since the individual had already been
placed on a commitment.
After he had been committed and stabilized he
was released to go home and soon after made a
voluntary appearance to the Mental Health Court
to face pending charges
In Fall of 2018 there were numerous calls for
service including:
o Theft trespassing and welfare checks and
was even reported as a missing person
All calls were determined to be due to a mental
health crisis
LCSW intervention efforts began Dec 17th and by
February he had been stabilized and calls for
service went to 0.

Violent at times with family/Law Enforcement
Civilly committed

At risk of homelessness
A relationship was established early with Z.B.’s
parents and as a result they would often reach out
to the Detectives/LCSW rather than calling
patrol
When contact was made with Z.B. it was clear to
the LCSW he was in a mental health crisis and
was experiencing acute mania and psychotic
symptoms; LCSW Pink Sheeted him.
The LCSW arranged a meeting with the
examiners involved with the 3rd District Civil
Commitment Court, the Detective on the case,
and Z.B.’s parents to ensure that the
representatives of the court had as much
information as possible to recommend that Z.B.
be placed on a civil commitment.
The LCSW also met the afternoon prior to the
hearing with Z.B.’s parents to discuss the
proceedings and all possible outcomes.
Z.B was placed on a 30-day civil commitment
with the 3rd District Civil Commitment Court and
has since been stabilized
While the calls for service were fewer than the
other examples, his were more serious in nature
due to his level of violence
Early intervention by officers proved to reduce
calls for service, however resources had been
exhausted with no long term solution
LCSW intervention happened on January 31st
and as of February there have been no calls for
service and he voluntarily appeared before Judge
Gilmore to plead into Mental Health Court and is
an active participant
“Good afternoon, I just wanted to send
something positive today. I just met with Z.B. for
his check-in. His attitude is a MILLION times
better than it has been in the past. He is like a
completely different person on medication. We
were discussing his groups for treatment and he
mentioned that he is attending an art group and a
coffee and chat group that he has enjoyed (he did
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – APRIL 9, 2019
-12-
not have a positive outlook on treatment before).
He was able to laugh and joke a little in our
meeting which I have never seen. It was amazing
to see his behavior in the past and the positive
change in his behavior now.” - Probation Case
Manager CJS
o Conclusion
In these cases despite previous diligent efforts made by
officers with in the current laws and available law
enforcement resources, long term solutions were not
found and serious issues with these 3 individuals would
still be ongoing
Two out of the three cases highlighted were at risk of
homelessness. The efforts of the LCSW stabilized their
housing situation by connecting them with treatment and
resources.
These 3 cases represent hundreds of man hours of
officers and detectives.
15 hrs. 36 min is the total time the LCSW has spent on
these 3 cases and has effectively eliminated calls for
service.
The 3 cases highlighted are not unique and only
represent a fraction of similar cases.
Police work isn’t just about enforcing the laws, it’s also
about community caring
Sargent Fox and Chief Jacobs explained how the project has evolved and benefitted
the community and the Police Department. Councilmember Buhler clarified that
the department is happy with the program. Sargent Fox replied yes. Councilmember
Buhler asked if there is a need for more social workers. Chief Jacobs replied yes.
Sargant Fox explained the specific method the Police Department has used the
clinical social worker.

Council Suggestions
Councilmember Huynh requested that the Planning Commission and City Council
have a joint meeting. Councilmember Buhler replied that this seems to only be
necessary when there is a particular topic that needs to be discussed. Mayor
Bigelow encouraged members of the Council to send topic suggestions to Nichole
Camac, City Recorder, or Paul Isaac, Assistant City Manager.
Mayor Bigelow stated the he spoke with a resident following last week’s meeting
regarding noticing of Code Enforcement violations. He indicated that it may be
beneficial to send a certified letter if the case is going to court. Councilmember
Christensen stated that a certified letter can be ignored. Councilmember Buhler
agreed.
Nichole Camac, City Recorder, stated that the Youth City Council would like the
Council to approve their proposed resolution that recognizes and supports diversity
in the community. The Council discussed and questioned whether this should be a
Proclamation or a Resolution. The Council agreed to add the item to the Study
Meeting agenda to be evaluated.
Paul Isaac discussed the Cordova Concept in relation to the Utah Cultural
Celebration Center. He stated volunteers are important and as events are held, the
City reaches out for help. Councilmember Christensen asked if a list of volunteers
is kept so they can be contacted again. Paul replied yes. Councilmember Huynh
stated that he feels volunteerism is good for the UCCC because it feels like doing
something for the community. Councilmember Huynh stated that he feels an
independent group, separate from the City, is needed. Councilmember Buhler
stated that this would be great but would be difficult to set up and create. The Mayor
and Council discussed the Cordova Concept. Councilmember Buhler stated that the
City could probably do a better job in asking for volunteers but creating an
independent group is a policy decision tied to funding.
Councilmember Fitisemanu stated there have been suggestions of body cams for
Code Enforcement officers. Councilmember Buhler stated that the Code
Enforcement officers don’t typically have interaction with the public.
Councilmember Lang stated that she thinks it should be available whenever officers
do interact with the public. Councilmember Fitisemanu stated he doesn’t know if
it’s feasible or not but would like to have the discussion. Mayor Bigelow stated its
costly to store body cam footage. He stated using cell phones might be a good
middle ground. Councilmember Fitisemanu stated that Parking Enforcement
officers have body cameras.

information as follows:
As part of the additions to, and remodeling of the existing Fire Station No.
73, a decorative concrete post and panel wall will be constructed around the
southerly boundary of the fire station site. There is currently an existing
masonry around the other boundaries of the site. In order to facilitate
construction of the new wall along the southerly property line, a Grant of
Temporary Construction Easement is required. The existing six-foot chain
link intended to be on the north boundary of the Dale Lynn Justice property
encroaches a few feet onto the fires station property. As part of the project,
the existing chain link fence will be removed and replaces with a new
concrete post and panel wall on the property line.
