Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: Over the past several months the City Council has had many discussions regarding the practices, policies, and ordinances relating to code enforcement. As a result of these discussions, the Council directed staff to make several changes to policies and ordinances that will impact code enforcement. Some of the ordinance changes requested by the Council impact Title 7 which is the City’s Zoning Ordinance. These Title 7 changes are the subject of this application and are described below. Section 7-1-103 This is the definitions section of the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed change to this section adds a definition for the term “Decorative Dirt”. Section 7-2-127 This section addresses standards for the use of artificial turf. The proposed change would allow artificial turf to be used in all parkstrips. Section 7-7-115 This section addresses standards for home occupations. The proposed change would reduce the allowed number of garage, basement, or yard sales from an annual maximum of four to an annual maximum of three. Section 7-11-205 This section addresses the landscaping and irrigation standards for single unit dwelling, twin home, and two unit dwelling lots. The proposed changes to this section would: require live plant material percentages to be determined by the size of the plant at full growth, not at planting, allow decorative dirt as a groundcover, and allow artificial turf to be counted  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – JULY 11, 2023 -4- toward all of the required live plant material. Councilmember Harmon asked if 30% live plant material is still required by Code. Steve replied yes. Councilmember Whetstone noted that the Planning Commission recommended denial primarily because they didn’t like the decorative dirt concept. Steve agreed and indicated that they didn’t like the aesthetic and were concerned about the enforcement of no weeds. Councilmember Huynh asked if residents will be ticketed if they don’t have 30% live landscaping. Steve replied it is still required by Code and this ordinance change would take into account full growth of plants, not when they are just planted. Mayor Lang verified that residents can have yards with just dirt but will have to ensure that the dirt remains weed free. Steve replied yes and noted that this change is proposed in the ordinance as directed by Council. The City Council will consider Ordinance 23-23 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled July 18, 2023 at 6:30 P.M. PUBLIC HEARINGS SCHEDULED FOR JULY 25, 2023 A.

Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: Several methods to provide GIS digital data and fees have been rendered obsolete by evolving technology, such as:  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – JULY 11, 2023 -11- 1. Hard Copy is rarely used since users can print their own maps from Google, etc. 2. WVC does not own Aerial Photos – SL County owns the aerial photography. WVC uses map services. 3. WVC no longer uses the US Public Land Survey System, therefore providing GIS data by Section / Quarter Section is outdated and would require extra time to clip City wide data into these units. 4. Requests are managed through the City Recorder/GRAMA requirements. The ultimate goals are to streamline the pricing structure and make request fulfillment easier for the requestor and City Staff. The current fee structure will be replaced with “Actual cost of processing pursuant to state law. Essentially, the City will recover costs of staff time to fulfill the request.
