Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: Greg Larsen has submitted a General Plan/zone change application (GPZ- 6-2021) on 9.9 acres to change the zoning from A (agriculture, minimum lot size ½ acre) to RM (multiple unit dwelling residential) and to change the General Plan from Low Density Residential (3 to 4 units/acre) and Large Lot Residential (2 to 3 units/acre) to Medium Density Residential (7 to 12 MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – MAY 4, 2021 -5- units/acre). The Planning Commission recommended approval of the General Plan/zone change subject to a development agreement. The proposed development agreement addresses the following topics:  Maximum number of units  Minimum unit sizes  Architecture  Amenities  Improvements along 6800 W  Multi-unit residential design standards from City Code Councilmember Buhler asked what is between this project and Orchard Elementary. Steve replied that there is a home directly to the south along with agricultural property. Councilmember Buhler stated that this is right next to Newton Farms and he feels this is where RE zoning should be located. Councilmember Christensen verified where improvements on 6800 West would be. He asked what the rest of 6800 West would look like up to Orchard Elementary. Steve replied the City would look at improvements as the area develops. He noted that there would be piping/ditches in unfinished areas. Mayor Bigelow asked if there would an area for stormwater drainage. Steve replied that the size of piping and flow would be determined with Public Works if the zoning is approved as part of the subdivision. Mayor Bigelow stated that the number of access points per density of a project should be discussed and expressed concern that this proposal offers only one. Mayor Bigelow stated that the City should also discuss how many of these developments are needed and where they should be located. Councilmember Buhler stated that the City has judgment as the Legislative body and can deny these applications as they are proposed. Mayor Bigelow agreed but stated that he feels the Council should have a general idea of how many of these types of developments are needed and where they should be allowed. Councilmember Christensen stated that it’s good and important to keep a rural feeling in some areas in the City. Councilmember Huynh expressed concern about traffic counts in this area and the amount of traffic that could be generated by this project. Steve indicated that he can provide this information. Steve stated that 18% of West Valley City’s population is 55 or older as reported by the census. He noted that there are an existing 275 senior units in the City plus an additional 84 units that were recently approved. He stated that if this project were approved there would be a total of 420 units in the City which makes up 1 percent of the City’s housing stock. Councilmember Buhler stated that all seniors don’t necessarily live in senior housing developments. Councilmember Lang noted that 100% of the units don’t need to be 55 and older. Steve agreed and noted that federal regulation allows 20% of the occupancy to be  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – MAY 4, 2021 -6- younger than 55. Councilmember Nordfelt stated that he would like to see the Hunter Village trail system connect into this area. Steve replied that a traffic signal has been discussed to make this possibility safer and more feasible with future development. Steve discussed right of way in the area. Mayor Bigelow asked if the sidewalk would be right on the curb. Steve replied there would be a 5-foot park- strip. Mayor Bigelow stated that he would like this to be more accessible if this will tie into the Hunter Village trail system. Steve stated that the City could be flexible on this property but properties to the north are narrower. The City Council will consider Ordinances 21-23 and 21-24 and Resolution 21-66 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled May 11, 2021 at 6:30 P.M. ORDINANCE 21-25: AMEND SECTION 16-5-101 OF THE WEST VALLEY CITY MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADOPT THE 2020 EDITION OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE Jerry Thompson, CED, presented proposed Ordinance 21-25 that would amend Section 16- 5-101 of the West Valley City Municipal Code to adopt the 2020 edition of the National Electrical Code. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: Every three years revised editions of the electrical code, which is adopted by the State of Utah as the minimal building standards for all buildings within our State, must be adopted by local municipalities to replace the older electrical codes that is considered obsolete. The building codes are living documents which are subject to revision at annual code development hearings in a national forum. The results of those hearings are published every three years in revised editions. The State of Utah has adopted the 2020 NEC in the 2021 Utah State Legislature under SB33 and has an effective date of July 1, 2021. Mayor Bigelow asked if the City has adopted the 2020 building code. Jerry replied no and indicated that the State chose not to adopt the most recent update to the National Code, so the City is still operating under the 2015 regulations. The City Council will consider Ordinance 21-25 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled May 11, 2021 at 6:30 P.M. ORDINANCE 21-26: AMEND SECTION 1-2-103 OF THE WEST VALLEY CITY MUNICIPAL CODE TO UPDATE CERTAIN FEES Jerry Thompson, CED, presented proposed Ordinance 21-26 that would amend Section 1- 2-103 of the West Valley City Municipal Code to update certain fees.  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – MAY 4, 2021 -7- Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: Under the previously adopted Uniform Administrative Code, the procedures for calculating the fees for plan review were defined and established. Recently it was discovered that while identified by reference, the Uniform Administrative Code is no longer as readily accessible to the general public. It is therefore recommended that a description, similar to what is contained in current Utah State Code, be added to the consolidated fee schedule in order to present in a clear and transparent manner of the processes of the city. The City Council will consider Ordinance 21-26 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled May 11, 2021 at 6:30 P.M.

The RFP was posted in the newspaper, on bid sites and several companies were contacted by staff. The proposals were evaluated and compared against each other in a matrix format by a committee of three. Evaluation criteria included price, software modules, timeline and references. Of the four proposals, two met specifications. These are as follows: CivicRec: $41,790 Rec Desk: $45,000 Out of these proposals, CivicRec was the lowest responsible bidder. Councilmember Buhler asked why this software change is needed. Jamie replied the current contract has reached the end of its life. She indicated that the current system  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – MAY 4, 2021 -8- operated with Adobe Flash which is no longer supported and was not written out of the software. Jamie stated that this has created a significant lack of security and the existing software is no longer functional.

The developer is working with the Engineering Division and Salt Lake to resolve and establish guidelines related to those requirements. In addition, portions of the subdivision are located in a perceived wetland area. Future studies will need to be done with the Army Corps of Engineers to determine if these wetlands are jurisdictional.
