REVIEW AGENDA FOR REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF
NOVEMBER 22, 2022
Upon inquiry by Mayor Lang, members of the Council had no further questions or concerns
regarding items listed on the Agenda for the Regular City Council meeting scheduled later
this night.
PUBLIC HEARINGS SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER 6, 2022
A. ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION GP-2-2022,
FILED BY WEST VALLEY CITY, REQUESTING AN AMENDMENT TO
THE GENERAL PLAN TO UPDATE THE CITY'S MAJOR STREET PLAN
Mayor Lang informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular Council
Meeting scheduled December 6, 2022, in order for the City Council to hear and
consider public comments regarding application GP-2-2022, Filed by West Valley
City, Requesting an Amendment to the General Plan to Update the City's Major Street
Plan.
Proposed Ordinance 22-42 related to the proposal to be considered by the City
Council subsequent to the public hearing, was discussed as follows:
ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 22-42, AMEND THE WEST VALLEY CITY
GENERAL PLAN TO UPDATE THE CITY'S MAJOR STREET PLAN
Steve Pastorik, CED Director, discussed proposed Ordinance 22-42 that would
amend the West Valley City General Plan to Update the City's Major Street Plan.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
The justification for these three Major Street Plan changes is described
below.
Lester Street (5700 West)
With the relatively new signalized intersection at 2400 South and 5600
West, the proposed extension of Lester Street will serve as a frontage road
to 5600 West, improving access for properties between the Mountain
View Corridor and 5600 West.
7200 West
The Wasatch Front Regional Council’s Regional Transportation Plan
(RTP) includes 7200 West between SR-201 and 1400 North (which is
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – NOVEMBER 22, 2022
-3-
north of I-80) as a 5-lane facility. The RTP also includes an extension of
7200 West between 1400 North and 700 North as a 3-lane facility. In West
Valley, the section of 7200 West between SR-201 and 2100 South is
currently striped as 2 lanes with varying right-of-way widths.
5900 West
With the completion of the Mountain View Corridor and the south bound
ramp at Parkway Blvd., truck traffic from industrial areas north of the
Riter Canal could access southbound Mountain View Corridor by
traveling south on 6400 West and then east along Parkway Blvd., which
would impact a largely residential area. Extending 5900 West to Parkway
Blvd. would create a direct connection for truck traffic to Mountain View
Corridor along Beagley Road (2540 South). This connection would
discourage truck traffic from using Parkway Blvd.
Mayor Lang asked if truck traffic will be directed to use the new 5900 West
connection. Steve replied that this would be the more direct, easier route so traffic
should flow naturally that way. Mayor Lang asked if Lester Street will be going
through primarily developed areas. Steve replied that there are some portions of
Lester street that are loosely developed. He noted that UDOT owns property in the
area and will accommodate the increased road width when development occurs.
Mayor Lang verified that if development occurs on any of the proposed streets
listed in this application, new standards would need to be met. Steve replied yes.
Mayor Lang asked if the City would be mainly responsible for 2450 South. Steve
replied yes.
The City Council will consider Ordinances 22-42 at the Regular Council Meeting
scheduled December 6, 2022 at 6:30 P.M.
PUBLIC HEARINGS SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER 13, 2022
A. ACCEPT PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING APPLICATION GPZ-7-2022,
FILED BY WASATCH COMMERCIAL DEVELOPERS, REQUESTING A
GENERAL PLAN ZONE CHANGE FROM LARGE LOT RESIDENTIAL (2
TO 3 UNITS/ACRE) TO BUSINESS PARK AND A ZONE CHANGE FROM
A (AGRICULTURE, MINIMUM LOT SIZE ½ ACRE) AND A-2
(AGRICULTURE, MINIMUM LOT SIZE 2 ACRES) TO B/RP
(BUSINESS/RESEARCH PARK) FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4890-
5090 WEST LAKE PARK BLVD.

Meeting scheduled December 13, 2022, in order for the City Council to hear and
consider public comments regarding application GPZ-7-2022, Filed by Wasatch
Commercial Developers, Requesting a General Plan Zone Change from Large Lot

Residential (2 to 3 Units/Acre) to Business Park and a Zone Change from A
(Agriculture, Minimum Lot Size ½ Acre) and A-2 (Agriculture, Minimum Lot Size 2
acres) to B/RP (Business/Research Park) for Property Located at 4890-5090 West Lake
Park Blvd.
Proposed Ordinances 22-43 and 22-44 and Resolution 22-157 related to the
proposal to be considered by the City Council subsequent to the public hearing, was
discussed as follows:
ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 22-43, AMEND THE GENERAL PLAN TO
SHOW A CHANGE OF LAND USE FROM LARGE LOT RESIDENTIAL (2 TO
3 UNITS/ACRE) TO BUSINESS PARK FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4890-
5090 WEST LAKE PARK BLVD.
Steve Pastorik, CED Director, discussed proposed Ordinance 22-43 that would
amend the General Plan to Show a Change of Land Use from Large Lot Residential (2
to 3 Units/Acre) to Business Park for Property Located at 4890-5090 West Lake Park
Blvd.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
In 2015, the subject property was included in a City initiated General
Plan/zone change that involved 741 acres in various locations throughout
the City. With one exception of Non-Retail Commercial, the General Plan
was changed on all 741 acres to Large Lot Residential and the zoning was
changed to either A or A-2. At the same time, the City also increased its
housing standards for single unit dwellings and created the RE
(Residential Estate) zone. The Council was concerned about the shrinking
amount of available land for residential development and the lack of
higher end housing in the City. These changes were made to encourage
larger homes on larger lots. The previous zoning on the subject property
was M.
At the time, the proximity of the golf course; the Highbury amenities like
trails and waterways; the nearby services like the Instacare, Target,
restaurants, etc.; the existing nearby mix of residential; and the canal
buffer were reasons for the residential designation. The relatively large
area of the property also created an opportunity for a good sized RE zone
subdivision.
If this application is approved, the applicant plans to build a biomedical

research and development campus of 7 buildings totaling approximately
580,000 square feet (690,000 square feet when including the mezzanines)
of industrial/office flex space.
ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 22-44, AMEND THE ZONING MAP TO SHOW
A CHANGE OF ZONE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4890-5090 WEST
LAKE PARK BLVD. FROM A (AGRICULTURE, MINIMUM LOT SIZE ½
ACRE) AND A-2 (AGRICULTURE, MINIMUM LOT SIZE 2 ACRES) TO B/RP
(BUSINESS/RESEARCH PARK)
Steve Pastorik, CED Director, discussed proposed Ordinance 22-44 that would
amend the Zoning Map to Show a Change of Zone for Property Located at 4890-5090
West Lake Park Blvd. from A (Agriculture, Minimum Lot Size ½ Acre) and A-2
(Agriculture, Minimum Lot Size 2 acres) to B/RP (Business/Research Park).

ACTION: RESOLUTION NO. 22-157, AUTHORIZE THE CITY TO ENTER
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – NOVEMBER 22, 2022
-6-
INTO A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH WASATCH
COMMERCIAL DEVELOPERS, LLC FOR APPROXIMATELY 39.5
ACRES OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT APPROXIMATELY 4890-5090
WEST LAKE PARK BLVD
Steve Pastorik, CED, discussed proposed Resolution 22-157 that would authorize
the City to enter into a Development Agreement to enter into a Development
Agreement with Wasatch Commercial Developers, LLC for Approximately 39.5 Acres
of Property Located at Approximately 4890-5090 West Lake Park Blvd.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
Wasatch Commercial Developers has submitted a General Plan/zone
change application (GPZ-7-2022) on 39.5 acres to change the General
Plan designation from Large Lot Residential (2 to 3 units/acre) to Business
Park and the zoning from A (Agriculture, minimum lot size ½ acre) and
A-2 (Agriculture, minimum lot size 2 acres) to B/RP (Business/Research
Park). The Planning Commission recommended approval of the zone
change subject to a development agreement.
The development agreement includes a limitation on the number of semi-
truck docks, use limitations, architectural standards, a minimum 25’ wide
landscaped setback along the north side, a perimeter walkway, and a
requirement to remove the bridge over the Riter Canal.
Wayne asked who owns the property to the South of this proposed project. Steve
replied that it is also owned by Wasatch Commercial Developers. Councilmember
Huynh asked if portions of the building would be rented out. Steve replied that
Wasatch would develop the buildings and have been in conversation with various
medical companies, including the University of Utah and Nusano, to occupy
them. Councilmember Harmon stated that he believes something like this would
work well on the north end of Lake Park but feels it’s out of place at this location.
Mayor Lang agreed and stated that when the City approved smaller residential on
the west side of this area, it was with the understanding that this property would
eventually be large lot residential. She stated that there isn’t much land left in the
City for large lot residential and she doesn’t see a strong reason to change the goal
for this this area for this project. Steve noted that the Council agreed to downzone
multiple properties in 2015 to preserve space for the RE zone and this property
was one of them. He stated that some that were downzoned at that time, have
developed as RE, while others have not. Mayor Lang stated that traffic

congestion is already a significant problem in this area with two elementary
schools to the east and west. Mayor Lang indicated that she likes the renderings
provided in the Development Agreement and would not want those to change at
all. Steve stated that renderings can slightly differ from construction drawings
which is why staff requires that the design be substantially similar. Mayor Lang
asked if residents would be able to walk along the path that would extend the trail
system. Steve replied that the Development Agreement doesn’t contemplate
public access but this is something that staff can speak to the applicant about.
Councilmember Nordfelt asked if the Council could see a report on the properties
that were rezoned in 2015 and what has/hasn’t developed in that time.
Councilmember Huynh asked if any concerns were raised during the Planning
Commission meeting. Steve replied that there were no public in attendance but a
few Planning Commissioners voted against the application due to size of
buildings and preferring that the land remain set aside for large lot residential.
Mayor Lang asked how many notices were sent to residents. Steve replied that
due to the 300’ buffer and large pieces of land in the area, there were few notices
sent.
The City Council will consider Ordinances 22-42 and 22-43 and Resolution 22-157
at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled December 13, 2022 at 6:30 P.M.
RESOLUTION 22-158: APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF TWO VEHICLES FROM
KEN GARFF FORD
Eric Madsen, Public Works, presented proposed Resolution 22-158 that would approve the
Purchase of Two Vehicles from Ken Garff Ford.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
The Fleet Division recommends the replacement of the following two trucks for the
Public Works Department.
ICN # Make Model Year Mileage Division
75109 Isuzu 3500 2007 133,476 Sanitation
75112 Dodge 3500 2008 126,946 Street Lighting
The truck to be used by the Sanitation Division will be a garbage can delivery
vehicle. The truck used in the Transportation Division will be the chassis for the
previously purchased street light bucket truck.
Ken Garff Ford has a State purchasing contract (AV2528) to sell Ford vehicles. The
purchase price is a competitive price, and the vehicles meets the City’s needs.

Vehicle Description Qty Total
Ford F450 Sanitation 1 $54,066.91
Ford F550 Street light 1 $56,554.03
$110,620.94
Councilmember Nordfelt asked if this resolution will be approved in time for an order to
be placed if an ordering window opens up. Wayne replied that staff just wanted the Council
to be aware of the sensitive timing issue. He noted that the dates keep changing and it’s
hard to know when these trucks can be purchased. Councilmember Whetstone asked if the
bucket that the Council approved for purchase in the last year is being used. Eric replied
no and indicated it is at the manufacturing site. Councilmember Whetstone asked if the
bucket is similar to the one on the existing truck. Eric replied yes. Mayor Lang asked if a
diesel truck could be purchased. Eric replied that there is a significant difference in the
weight which would not allow that type of truck to be used as a bucket truck.
The City Council will consider Resolution 22-158 at the Regular Council Meeting
scheduled December 6, 2022 at 6:30 P.M
RESOLUTION 22-159: RESOLUTION CONSIDERING AN EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT
Mayor Lang presented proposed Resolution 22-159 that would consider an Employment
Agreement.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
On May 22, 2018, the City entered into an Employment Agreement with Wayne
Pyle to serve as City Manager. This Agreement expires on May 31, 2023 and
automatically renews unless the City decides not to renew and provides 180 days’
notice of nonrenewal prior to expiration. This Agreement also requires a majority
vote of the City Council with all members present to decline to renew the
Agreement. This Resolution declines to renew the Employment Agreement and
meets the requirement to do so at least 180 days prior to expiration.
Councilmember Nordfelt stated that wording is to decline to renew the employment
agreement but the Council’s intention will be to negotiate a new contract early into this
noticing period. Mayor Lang agreed and stated that Legal will have some adjustments and
drafting to do before consideration.

MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – NOVEMBER 22, 2022
-11-
o West Valley City is working with Magna Water to improve
access to the City’s 6800 West Pond Overflow facility.
Improvements will include upsizing the existing 18” overflow
pipe under 6750 West, relocation of Magna Water fence/gate
and construction of a new access to the area north of the West
Valley City maintenance building.
- 4100 South Pedestrian (HAWK) Signals
o West Valley City and Salt Lake County will be installing High
Intensity Activated Crosswalk (HAWK) Signals at two locations
on 4100 South. One will be a new signal at the existing Montaia
Dr (2805 West) crosswalk and one will be a revision to the
existing pedestrian signal at Acord Way (4225 West).
Mayor Lang stated that she has seen three sets of pedestrian ramps replaced in her
neighborhood alone over the past 20-25 years and asked if this will ever be final.
Coby replied that it’s a moving target and federal regulations seem to change
frequently. Mayor Lang noted that residents have been impressed with the
improvements on 3100 South with the bike lane. She stated that the maneuverability
is a little difficult at 4000 West. Coby replied that the contractors have done a great
job and likely would have finished the project this year if other issues hadn’t arisen.
He noted that when road patterns are shifted, there is a bit of a learning curve. He
said that if it continues to be a problem for residents, staff can adjust lanes as needed
or add signs. Wayne asked how much corrugated pipe was removed from the street
during this project. Coby replied most of it was west of 4000 West and was about
700,000 feet in storm drain replacement. Mayor Lang asked if funding was received
from WFRC for Parkway Blvd. Coby replied yes and noted that 7 million dollars
in funding was received with the City being responsible for an additional 4 million.
Councilmember Harmon asked if repairs on Lancer Way will extend to 3600 South.
Coby replied that due to funding and the greater need, reconstruction will only
extend to 3200 South. He noted that funding was received for the project and this
road will not cost the City any money as long as construction stays under 8 million
dollars. Mayor Lang thanked staff for combining efforts, finding grant funds, and
saving money where it can. Councilmember Huynh asked what the status of the
sidewalk project is on Crystal Ave and Lester Street. Coby replied that the City
received funding from the State for the “Safe Route to School” grant. He noted that
a Federal Audit was conducted and the State was forced to pause the program and
call back the funds until compliance can be met. He indicated that the City has not
received updates on when this may occur. Wayne asked how much this grant was
for. Coby replied about $300,000. Wayne noted that there are other ways to
accomplish this if the Council prefers. He indicated that money can be taken from
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – NOVEMBER 22, 2022

CDBG funds or fund balance. Councilmember Harmon stated that he would like to
see list of upcoming projects for both sidewalks and street light prioritization.
The Mayor and Council had no further questions or concerns.
B. PROFFESSIONAL STANDARDS REVIEW BOARD (PSRB) ANNUAL
UPDATE
Abby Dizon Maughn, PSRB Chair, introduced what the purpose and scope of the
Professional Standards Review Board is as well as a history on how the Board has
evolved. Ms. Maughan indicated that the board participates in officer training,
receives case law updates from the City Attorney’s Office, and attends national
trainings to stay up to date on what other cities across the nation do.
Ms. Maughan updated the Council regarding annual statistics for the Professional
Standards Review Board. These include: uses of force reviewed, complaints
reviewed, and sustained/out of policy incidents for the year 2022.
Mayor Lang noted that the Professional Standards Review Board does a lot of hard
work and the Council appreciates all of their efforts and the time they take to ensure
there is a positive link between citizens of West Valley City and the Police
Department. Ms. Maughan noted that the Police Department is fantastic and the
Board is proud of the officers that serve the City.
The Mayor and Council had no further questions or concerns.
C. COUNCIL CALENDAR

Update.
NEW BUSINESS
A. POTENTIAL FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
Councilmember Huynh requested a communication item on how to best prioritize
sidewalk construction.
Councilmember Fitisemanu stated that he would like to discuss street signs and
their plan for replacement. Wayne replied that there is a sizable cost but the City
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – NOVEMBER 22, 2022
-13-
could standardize the entire City to meet federal standards. He indicated there is a
program mod in place for around 1 million dollars to accomplish this. Wayne noted
that there would not be enough staff to complete the entire City this for some time
so the Council may want to take a phased approach, starting with those that are in
need most first. Wayne stated that Councilmember Whetstone made a request and
the City is ready to test a neighborhood in his district but can take any direction the
Council wishes. Mayor Lang asked if the new signs have a warranty or guarantee
to last. Wayne replied they do but only time will tell. The Mayor and Council
requested a communication item on this to further discuss.
Mayor Lang asked for a communication item regarding the traffic speed study
criteria.
B. COUNCIL REPORTS
COUNCILMEMBER CHRISTENSEN- QUICK QUACK CAR WASH AND
TREES OF DIVERSITY
Councilmember Christensen stated that he attended the Quick Quack Car Wash
groundbreaking with Mayor Lang. He indicated that he also decorated the Canadian
tree for the Trees of Diversity at the UCCC. He noted that the International
Survivors of Suicide Loss program was being held at the same time and was very
well done.
