PUBLIC HEARINGS SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 1, 2020 A. ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION ZT-4-2020, FILED BY BRUCE SMITH AND FRED COX, REQUESTING AN ORDINANCE CHANGE TO SECTIONS 7-6-302 AND 7-6-305 TO ALLOW THE MINIMUM ZONING DISTRICT SIZE FOR THE C-2 (GENERAL COMMERICAL) ZONE TO BE LESS THAN 5 Mayor Bigelow informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular Council Meeting scheduled September 1, 2020, in order for the City Council to hear and consider public comments regarding application ZT-4-2020, filed by Bruce Smith and Fred Cox, requesting an Ordinance Change to sections 7-6-302 and 7-6-305 to allow the minimum zoning district size for the C-2 (General Commercial) Zone to be less than 5. Proposed Ordinance 20-36 related to the proposal to be considered by the City Council subsequent to the public hearing, was discussed as follows: ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 20-36, AMEND SECTIONS 7-6-302 AND 7-6- 305 OF THE WEST VALLEY CITY MUNICIPAL CODE TO AMEND REGULATIONS CONCERNING PROPERTY ELIGIBLE FOR C-2 ZONING Steve Pastorik, CED, discussed proposed Ordinance 20-36 that would amend Sections 7-6-302 and 7-6-305 of the West Valley City Municipal Code to amend regulations concerning property eligible for C-2 Zoning. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – AUGUST 25, 2020 -3- The C-2 zone currently includes a minimum district size of 5 acres. An individual parcel within the C-2 zone can be as small as 20,000 sq. ft.; however, the property must be adjacent to other C-2 zoned parcels that together total 5 acres. The proposed change would allow property zoned M (Manufacturing) to be included with property zoned C-2 to meet the minimum district size for the C-2 zone. Staff is supportive of this change for the following reasons:  The M zone allows many of the same uses allowed in the C-2 zone.  The minimum district size seems to be geared toward preventing spot zoning where a relatively small property is zoned different from everything else around it. Maintaining a 5 acre district size next to residential seems more important than trying to maintain a 5 acre district size next to M zoning where commercial uses are allowed. Mayor Bigelow asked when the minimum district size was implemented. Steve replied that the ordinance has been active since at least 1997. Councilmember Buhler asked if the Council can change the ordinance but still deny the zone change request in the following application. Steve replied yes. Councilmember Buhler asked if C-1 zoning could be included in this zone text change. Steve replied that the applicant only requested manufacturing, but C-1 could be added if the Council requested. He noted that uses in the C-1 zone and the maximum acreage requirement of 7 acres may not be a good fit to add to this proposal. He indicated that C-3 zoning would be a better fit but noted that there are few C-3 areas in the City at this time. Councilmember Fitisemanu stated that he would be open to adding C-3 to this amendment request. Mayor Bigelow indicated that he is hesitant to make policy changes that benefit a single developer. He noted that he would like more information on why the original ordinance was implemented in the first place. Steve replied that staff can research this but noted that often historical ordinances were adopted as part of larger changes and there may not be a lot of conversation or information provided in the minutes. Councilmember Christensen stated that many ordinance changes happen because one person had an issue or concern. Mayor Bigelow indicated that he would like information on why the original ordinance was put in place or reasons detailing the usefulness of the ordinance that staff has observed now. Steve replied that the ordinance helps eliminate spot zoning and deters people from seeking zone change requests to C-2 in residential areas that don’t meet this minimum threshold.  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – AUGUST 25, 2020 -4- The City Council will consider Ordinance 20-36 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled September 1, 2020 at 6:30 P.M. B. ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION Z-5-2020, FILED BY BRUCE SMITH AND FRED COX, REQUESTING A ZONE CHANGE FROM M (MANUFACTURING) TO C-2 (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5571 WEST 2455 SOUTH Mayor Bigelow informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular Council Meeting scheduled September 1, 2020, in order for the City Council to hear and consider public comments regarding application Z-5-2020, filed by Bruce Smith and Fred Cox, requesting a Zone Change from M (Manufacturing) to C-2 (General Commercial) on property located at 5571 West 2455 South. Proposed Ordinance 20-37 related to the proposal to be considered by the City Council subsequent to the public hearing, was discussed as follows: ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 20-37, AMEND THE ZONING MAP TO SHOW A CHANGE OF ZONE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5571 WEST 2455 SOUTH FROM M (MANUFACTURING) TO C-2 (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) Steve Pastorik, CED, discussed proposed Ordinance 20-37 that would amend the Zoning Map to show a change of zone for property located at 5571 West 2455 South from M (Manufacturing) to C-2 (General Commercial). Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: Included with this issue paper is a concept plan from the applicant showing a proposed 13,250 sq. ft. commercial building. According to the applicant, the proposed uses for the building are retail, professional office and medical office. Retail and professional office are allowed in the M zone; however, medical office is not allowed. This is why the owner is seeking C-2 zoning. The C-2 zone includes a minimum district size of 5 acres. An individual parcel within the C-2 zone can be as small as 20,000 sq. ft.; however, the property must be adjacent to other C-2 zoned parcels that together total 5 acres. If approved, application ZT-4-2020 would allow M zoned property to be included to meet the minimum C-2 district size. If application ZT-4- 2020 is not approved, this application must be denied because the minimum C-2 zone district size would not be met.  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – AUGUST 25, 2020 -5- Mayor Bigelow asked what surrounding uses include. Steve replied the uses surrounding the property are primarily related to trucking. Councilmember Buhler asked if the M zone could be changed to allow medical office instead of modifying the C-2 district size to incorporate manufacturing and requiring the applicant to rezone the property. Steve replied that this was discussed with the applicant, but medical offices are more often located in commercial areas. He added that the City had concern about allowing medical offices in manufacturing areas due to the possibility of homeless shelters being constructed in these types of areas. Councilmember Buhler agreed that this would be a continuing concern that the City would want to mitigate. Mayor Bigelow stated that he feels a medical office would be a beneficial use at this location but noted he is concerned about the greater impact allowing medical officers in manufacturing areas may have on the City. He indicated that he feels it would make sense on major corridors but may not make sense in other parts of the City. Steve stated that the Council could consider restricting to the 5600 West Overlay zone. The City Council will consider Ordinance 20-37 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled September 1, 2020 at 6:30 P.M. RESOLUTION 20-138: RENEW WEST VALLEY CITY'S COMMITMENT TO BEING "IDLE FREE" Clover Meaders (Youth City Council Advisor) and Ameena Ahmed (Youth City Council Mayor), presented proposed Resolution 20-138 that would renew West Valley City's commitment to being "Idle Free". Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: The proposed resolution by the Youth City Council (YCC) encourages citizens and guests to turn off their vehicle’s engine when idling for more than one minute unless they are forced to idle because of traffic conditions or if idling is necessary for auxiliary power, health and safety, maintenance and repair, or for law enforcement or emergency personnel. The proposed ordinance would permit law enforcement to give a violator a warning for the first offense. A second offense would be an infraction. Every year, the YCC chooses an area of concern they would like to make impact. This year, they have chosen anti-idling issues. The YCC is concerned about their health and the health of all the City’s residents because air pollution can cause or exacerbate serious health conditions such as asthma, heart disease and chronic  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – AUGUST 25, 2020 -6- obstructive pulmonary disease. Other cities such as Draper, Holladay, Salt Lake City, Murray, Cottonwood Heights, Logan, Alta, Sandy, and Park City have previously adopted ordinances or resolutions to reduce emissions of idling vehicles, clear the air, and protect their residents’ health. The City adopted a resolution in 2010 encouraging citizens and guests to be idle free. The YCC proposes renewing that position in an updated resolution or adopting an ordinance which would provide for education of the issue and allow for enforcement. Councilmember Buhler expressed support for the resolution as proposed. Councilmember Fitisemanu stated this was a great presentation and noted that it is obvious the Youth City Council did extensive research. He agreed that the resolution feels appropriate. Mayor Bigelow stated that he wishes enforcement could occur for smoke from wildfires. He indicated that the Council supports issues that make air clean and noted that he wishes resolutions were happening more rapidly. Councilmember Christensen stated he appreciates the presentation from the Youth City Council. He added that he allows tries to avoid idling and appreciates the thought process of the resolution as it is in line with the original resolution from 2010. Mayor Bigelow encouraged the Youth City Council to continue to exceed and indicated that he hopes they one day become Councilmembers in the community. The City Council will consider Resolution 20-138 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled September 1, 2020 at 6:30 P.M. RESOLUTION 20-139: APPROVE A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH THE NATIONAL RECREATION AND PARK ASSOCIATION Nancy Day, Parks and Recreation Director, presented proposed Resolution 20-139 that would approve a Memorandum of Understanding with the National Recreation and Park Association. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: The West Valley City parks and recreation department has been awarded one of only twelve national grants by the NRPA to rehabilitate and enhance certain aspects of Parkway Park. The Parkway Park Enhancement and Play Initiative will include enhancements that will beautify and repair various elements of the park as well as offer new activities for the community. The Parkway Park Enhancement and Play Initiative will provide improvements and opportunities to Parkway Park including:  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – AUGUST 25, 2020 -7-  Basketball Courts: reseal courts, new hoops and nets, new lines and artwork painted on courts  Tennis Courts: paint pickleball court lines  Game Zone Addition: two cornhole courts, two chess tables/stools, one outdoor table tennis set, hopscotch and four square court created  Construction of a Pollinator Garden  Plant additional trees to enhance the tree canopy  Install recycled benches  Install graphic design signage for pollinator garden (educational) and sport courts (skill development/drills)  Provide informal programming This is a non-matching grant thus West Valley City is not required to provide additional funds for the project. All aspects will be funded in full by grant dollars. Councilmember Buhler asked what the timeframe would be. Nancy replied construction would begin as soon as possible with a projected completion of March 2021. The City Council will consider Resolution 20-139 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled September 1, 2020 at 6:30 P.M. CONSIDER APPLICATION SMI-2-2020, FILED BY ELLIOTT SMITH, REQUESTING FINAL PLAT APPROVAL FOR THE TERRAFORM COMMERCIAL SUBDIVISION LOCATED AT 4700 SOUTH 5600 WEST Steve Lehman, CED, presented application SMI-2-2020, filed by Elliott Smith, requesting Final Plat Approval for the TerraForm Commercial Subdivision located at 4700 South 5600 West. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: Elliott Smith, representing Robert J. Defa et al, is requesting final plat approval for the TerraForm Commercial Subdivision. The subdivision is located on the northwest corner of 4700 South and 5600 West. The subdivision is bordered on the north by vacant ground zoned Agriculture and the west by storage units. The subdivision will create two lots which will be developed in the future. Lot 1, or the corner lot, will be approximately 1 acre in size, with the remaining property, or lot 2, containing approximately 4 acres in size.  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – AUGUST 25, 2020 -8- The corner lot is being proposed for a new 7-eleven store which is currently being reviewed by staff. Access to the corner piece will be from both 5600 West and 4700 South. UDOT approval will need to be granted for the 5600 West access. Access to lot 2 will be gained from 4700 South. At the present time, there is no proposed use for that lot. As part of this application, the developer will be dedicating a portion of 4700 South. The intersection of 5600 West and 4700 South was built to a 53-foot half width. It is not anticipated that a 53-foot half width will be needed west of the 7-eleven. The applicant is coordinating the right-of-way width needed along this section of 4700 South and where a possible transition should occur going west. The subdivision plat will simply provide the mechanism to divide the property as required by the applicant. The subdivision plat will contain easements and other information applicable to the division of property. Separate applications will be submitted for permitted and/or conditional uses on the two new lots. Mayor Bigelow asked if the dedication of roadway is only in front of 7-11. Steve replied that the dedication will occur on the entire project. The City Council will consider application SMI-2-2020 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled September 1, 2020 at 6:30 P.M. CONSIDER APPLICATION SMI-3-2020, FILED BY SCOTT HELM, REQUESTING FINAL PLAT APPROVAL FOR THE PHIL'S FARM SUBDIVISION LOCATED AT 4180 SOUTH 4625 WEST Steve Lehman, CED, presented application SMI-3-2020, filed by Scott Helm, requesting Final Plat Approval for the Phil's Farm Subdivision located at 4180 South 4625 West. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: Mr. Scott Helm, is requesting final plat approval for the Phil’s Farm Subdivision. The subdivision will consist of 7 lots on approximately 2.4 acres. This equates to an overall density of 2.9 units per acre. Lot sizes range from 10,800 square feet to 15,960 square feet. The average lot size in the subdivision has been calculated at 12,580 square feet. Access to the subdivision will be gained from existing stub street in the Condie Park Estates No. 3 Subdivision to the south. The subdivision will then terminate in a cul-de-sac. The City’s right-of-way is typically a 54-foot width that includes curb,  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – AUGUST 25, 2020 -9- gutter, sidewalk and parkstrip. The right-of-way width coming in from the south does not have parkstrip. The City Engineering Division will allow the new subdivision street to be built with an integral curb, gutter sidewalk design, but will require a parkstrip in the bulb of the cul-de-sac. There is an existing sewer easement that cuts through what will be lot 2. As part of the subdivision design, the developer will move the easement to the north side of lot 3. A new sewer easement will be established and will be coordinated with Granger Hunter Improvement District. In addition, storm water enters this property from subdivisions to the south. A new storm drain easement will also be located on the north side of lot 3. Storm water from this property will then be piped north down Condie Lane out to 4100 South. Provisions to accommodate this piping in 4100 South were made prior to the subdivision application. The subject property has been vacant for years, but staff does not believe it has actively been irrigated. The ditch along the east side of the property will need to be piped. The developer will coordinate any irrigation issues that may be part of this property with the Engineering Division. The applicant will be required to submit a soils report prior to final plat review. The report will need to be reviewed by the City Building Official and City Engineer. Ground water was not encountered in the Condie Park Estates subdivision to the south. Staff does not believe ground water will be a problem, but a soils report will be required. The City Council will consider application SMI-3-2020 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled September 1, 2020 at 6:30 P.M. CONSENT AGENDA SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 1, 2020 A.

During construction it was discovered that a high voltage power pole was located within the alignment of the required sidewalk could not be relocated. As a result, a portion of the public sidewalk was shifted slightly around the pole and outside of the public right-of-way. A Public Sidewalk Easement was required for the portion of the sidewalk located outside of the public right-of-way. As a small portion of the required sidewalk falls outside of the existing public right-of-way, a Public Sidewalk Easement was required as a condition of approval for this project the current phase of the project.

The plans include the extension of the storm drain through the Peck Property to connect into the existing storm drain in 4800 West. This parcel located at 3684 South 4800 South thus will be affected by the construction of the Tecumseh Storm Drain Project. In 2007 the Pecks had received approval for the Butters Park Subdivision which was never built. The proposed city drainage pipe will follow the alignment of the storm drain proposed for the previously approved subdivision. As such, the Storm Drain Easement has been granted to West Valley City without additional compensation. C. RESOLUTION 20-142: AUTHORIZE THE CITY TO ACCEPT A TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENT FROM GREGORY BALLAINE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT APPROXIMATELY 3684 SOUTH 4800 WEST Mayor Bigelow discussed proposed Resolution 20-142 that would authorize the  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – AUGUST 25, 2020 -11- City to accept a Temporary Construction Easement from Gregory Ballaine for property located at approximately 3684 South 4800 West.
