BY SCOTT GODFREY, REQUESTING FINAL PLAT APPROVAL FOR
GODFREY INDUSTRIAL PARK NO. 3 LOCATED AT 2400 SOUTH 5900
WEST
Mayor Lang informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular Council
Meeting scheduled October 24, 2023, in order for the City Council to hear and
consider public comments regarding Application S-3-2023, Filed by Scott Godfrey,
Requesting Final Plat Approval for Godfrey Industrial Park No. 3 Located at 2400
South 5900 West
Proposed Ordinance 23-39 related to the proposal to be considered by the City
Council subsequent to the public hearing, was discussed as follows:
ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 23-39, APPROVE THE AMENDMENT OF
LOTS 1 AND 2 OF THE GODFREY WEST SUBDIVISION
Steve Lehman, CED, discussed proposed Ordinance 23-39 that would approve the
Amendment of Lots 1 and 2 of the Godfrey West Subdivision.
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 No. 3. The proposed subdivision will also amend lots 1
and 2 of the Godfrey West Subdivision. The property is located at
approximately 2400 South 5900 West and is bordered by property zoned
Manufacturing.
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – OCTOBER 17, 2023

At the present time, the subdivision consists of a number of parcels and two
recorded lots within the Godfrey West Subdivision. The proposed
subdivision is being requested to consolidate these parcels and amend two
existing lots into a new 4 lot subdivision to be known as Godfrey Industrial
Park Subdivision No. 3.
As mentioned earlier, two lots in the Godfrey West Subdivision will be
amended by this plat. The reason these are being included in this
subdivision is to benefit from a new street proposed to be located on the
north side of these lots. An existing building on lot 1 has already been
constructed, and staff is working the site plan for the second building
adjacent to Beagley Road and 5900 West.
Access to the subdivision will be gained by Beagley Road, 5900 West, the
SR-201 South Frontage Road and from a new cul-de-sac extending west
from 5900 West at 2400 South. All roads except the new cul-se-sac are
existing. The cul-de-sac will be a dedicated right-of-way having a width
of 66 feet and a length of just over 700 feet. The road will consist of curb
and gutter on both sides and sidewalk on the north side. The only portion
of the subdivision lacking improvements is along the south side of the SR-
201 South Frontage Road.
Mayor Lang asked if the cul-de-sac will be able to adequately handle traffic.
Steve replied yes and noted that the applicant is confident it will be sufficient. He
noted that shorter roads leading into the cul-de-sac are preferred. Councilmember
Harmon asked if the 60-acre property has access to the frontage road. Steve
replied yes.
The City Council will consider Ordinance 23-39 at the Regular Council Meeting
scheduled October 24, 2023 at 6:30 P.M.
B. ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION ZT-6-2023,
FILED BY JAMES WARNER WITH TRUCKPRO, LC, REQUESTING A
ZONE TEXT CHANGE TO SECTION 7-14-403 TO ALLOW NON-
MASONRY MATERIALS ON THE STREET FACING EXTERIORS OF
BUILDINGS WITHIN THE 5600 WEST GATEWAY OVERLAY ZONE
Mayor Lang informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular Council
Meeting scheduled October 24, 2023, in order for the City Council to hear and
consider public comments regarding Application ZT-6-2023, Filed by James Warner
with Truckpro, LC, Requesting a Zone Text Change to Section 7-14-403 to Allow Non-
Masonry Materials on the Street Facing Exteriors of Buildings Within the 5600 West
Gateway Overlay Zone.

Proposed Ordinance 23-40 related to the proposal to be considered by the City
Council subsequent to the public hearing, was discussed as follows:
ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 23-40, AMEND SECTION 7-14-403 OF THE
WEST VALLEY CITY MUNICIPAL CODE TO AMEND CERTAIN
REQUIREMENTS CONCERNING THE 5600 WEST GATEWAY OVERLAY
ZONE
Steve Pastorik, CED Director, discussed proposed Ordinance 23-40 that would
amend Section 7-14-403 of the West Valley City Municipal Code to Amend Certain
Requirements Concerning the 5600 West Gateway Overlay Zone.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
James Warner with Truckpro, LC has requested an amendment to Section
7-14-403 of the zoning ordinance to allow non-masonry materials on the
street facing exteriors of buildings within the 5600 West Gateway Overlay
Zone. The ordinance currently states: “All Buildings shall be constructed
using one hundred percent masonry on any Street facing Façade”. The
applicant is requesting that the City allow “architectural metal siding as well
as ceramic and wood textures that are being used extensively in most cities
on higher-end buildings”.
The applicant’s justification for this application is as follows:
“The types of textures used in the past 5-10 years on higher-end buildings
are mainly ACM (Architectural Metal), ceramic tiles and wood siding. The
facility that we are considering building has specific requirements to qualify
it to be one of 22 INEOS Grenadier dealerships in the U.S. and the only
dealership in Utah. The buildings require high-end ACM and possibly wood
or simulated wood look on ceramic or metal. By approving these materials,
we believe that the city will attract higher-end buildings and businesses as
most of them are using these premium materials. With the current standards
and requirements, businesses that the city might otherwise want may not
even consider West Valley City as if they understood the current code and
did not want to go through the text amendment process and cost.”
Mayor Lang indicated that she feels this would be a good adjustment for this area.
Councilmember Fitisemanu agreed.
The City Council will consider Ordinance 23-40 at the Regular Council Meeting

BY JACKIE CARLSON, REQUESTING A ZONE CHANGE FROM LI

LOCATED AT 2256 AND 2260 SOUTH 5700 WEST
Mayor Lang informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Special City
Council Meeting scheduled November 7, 2023, in order for the City Council to hear
and consider public comments regarding Application Z-2-2023, Filed by Jackie
Carlson, Requesting a Zone Change from LI (Light Industrial) to M (Manufacturing)
for Property Located at 2256 and 2260 South 5700 West
Proposed Ordinance 23-41 and Resolution 23-149 related to the proposal to be
considered by the City Council subsequent to the public hearing, was discussed as
follows:
ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 23-41, AMEND THE ZONING MAP TO SHOW
A CHANGE OF ZONE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2256 AND 2260
SOUTH 5700 WEST FROM LI (LIGHT INDUSTRIAL) TO M
(MANUFACTURING)
Steve Pastorik, CED Director, discussed proposed Ordinance 23-41 that would
amend the Zoning Map to Show a Change of Zone for Property Located at 2256 and
2260 South 5700 West from LI (Light Industrial) to M (Manufacturing).
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
The applicant acquired the property in March 2023 to serve as a truck
service center to maintain Carlson Distributing’s own fleet of trucks for
their distribution business at 2449 South 6755 West. Penske Truck,
another West Valley City business, would operate the facility. The outside
area would be used for employee parking and truck staging while they are
in-between servicing.
Within the LI zone, automobile service is only allowed as a use that is
incidental to a permitted or conditional use such as truck sales. In this
situation, the truck service is the primary use proposed. In addition, the LI
zone does not allow outside storage and the trucks awaiting service would
be considered outside service. Given the LI zone limitations on truck
service and outside storage, the applicant is requesting the M zone.

The applicant is proposing a number of improvements to the property
including the installation of asphalt on the east, west, and south sides of
the property; new metal siding for the west portion of the building; new
overhead doors on the building; interior remodeling of the building to
include restrooms and an office; landscaping along the east and west sides
of the property; placing power underground; storm water improvements;
and repaired or replaced fencing.
ACTION: RESOLUTION NO. 23-149, ENTER INTO A DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT WITH CDC MAINTENANCE, LLC FOR APPROXIMATELY
2.2 ACRES OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT APPROXIMATELY 2256 AND
2260 SOUTH 5700 WEST
Steve Pastorik, CED Director, discussed proposed Resolution 23-149 that would
authorize the City to enter into a Development Agreement with CDC Maintenance,
LLC for Approximately 2.2 Acres of Property Located at Approximately 2256 and
2260 South 5700 West
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
Jackie Carlson has submitted a zone change on 2.2 acres of property at
parcel at 2256 and 2260 South 5700 West from LI (Light Industrial) to M
(Manufacturing). The Planning Commission recommended approval of the
zone change subject to a development agreement.
The proposed development agreement addresses the following topics: use
limitations, maintenance, required approvals, improvements, and right-of-
way dedication.
Mayor Lang asked if there has been any discussion about upgrading the outside of
the building. She indicated that she would like to encourage the applicants to use
improved materials. Steve replied that he could ask the applicant if they are
amenable to that. Councilmember Nordfelt asked if this would be a special
requirement that would not typically apply to other businesses. Mayor Lang stated
that they are applying for a zone change so this would be the time the Council
could require improvements. Councilmember Nordfelt asked if this building
would meet current requirements as a new build. Steve replied no.
Councilmember Harmon suggested requiring a masonry wall. Steve replied that
the Planning Commission didn’t include this recommendation due to the
topography in the area. He indicated that the building would be visible regardless
of fencing on the Mountain View Corridor. Councilmember Harmon stated that
the masonry wall could shield the property from pedestrians on the trail.

Councilmember Nordfelt asked if there would be parts stored on the property.

RESOLUTION 23-150: AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION OF AN INTERLOCAL
COOPERATION AGREEMENT WITH SALT LAKE COUNTY FOR ACCESS TO
AERIAL IMAGERY
Ken Cushing, IT, presented proposed Resolution 23-150 that would authorize the Execution
of an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement with Salt Lake County for Access to Aerial Imagery
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
This resolution authorizes the City to enter into an agreement for the purchase and
use of digital orthorectified aerial photography and oblique imagery of West Valley
City. Under this agreement, the West Valley City agrees to participate in the
acquisition of a commercial aerial photography license of high-resolution Imagery
data. The County agrees to give the City a limited license for a web service of the
imagery as well as hard-copy images to use natural color Orthorectified Imagery at
7.5 cm (3 in.) and 22.5 cm (9 in.) resolution for all areas within its geographical
boundaries.
Current, accurate digital orthorectified photography has many uses within the City.
The photos are used within the majority of City Departments to visualize and
identify growth; compare urban changes with aerial photography from previous
years; as a reference for new spatial information; as a background for online map
viewers and printed maps; for measurements of impervious surfaces; and more.
The format is compatible with existing GIS applications that are used and
developed by City Staff. By partnering with other agencies, costs for aerial
photography are significantly reduced.
The City Council will consider Resolution 23-150 at the Regular Council Meeting
scheduled October 24, 2023 at 6:30 P.M

Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
Salt Lake County wishes to continue hiring off-duty West Valley City Police
Officers to provide security and law enforcement services on an as needed basis at
the West Valley branch of the Salt Lake County library system. The county wishes
to extend the interlocal agreement previously entered into on or about March 13,
2023 governing the conditions under which they hire off-duty police officers. The
interlocal agreement is consistent with the Police Department’s secondary
employment hiring procedures.

scheduled October 24, 2023 at 6:30 P.M
RESOLUTION 23-152: AWARD A CONTRACT TO HARPER PRECAST FOR
THE FASSIO FARM PARK WALL REPLACEMENT PROJECT
Jason Erekson, Parks and Recreation, presented proposed Resolution 23-152 that would
award a Contract to Harper Precast for the Fassio Farm Park Wall Replacement Project.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
Fassio Farm Park was built in 1997. The north wall was existing at that time and
had been installed by the developer of the surrounding neighborhood. Over time,
due to the construction and type of block, the joints on this wall have eroded,
allowing the individual blocks to come out of the wall. Because of this, it needs to
be removed and replaced.
This project will include removal and hauling off the existing block wall and
replacing it with a precast concrete wall. It also includes the repair of any damage
to the landscape.
Bids were solicited through a formal bid process and Harper Precast was the lone
bidder. Their bid came in at $82,159.00
Mayor Lang asked when this would be complete. Jason replied the end of this year.

Dawna L. Moody Mokuleia Property Trust to Delay Certain Improvements at 6778
West SR-201 North Frontage Road
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
The Moody Subdivision is a 9-lot commercial subdivision with frontage on
the SR-201 North Frontage Road near 6778 West. Sidewalk, curb, gutter,
and streetlights do not exist in the area. The lack of storm drain
infrastructure has resulted in the approval of delay agreements for several
parcels within the area.
There is anticipation of a future roadway project along the North Frontage
Road that would include a storm drain system and enable the improvements
to be constructed. Completing all right-of-way infrastructure along the
frontage road at the same time, as part of a larger project, will ensure the
improvements are built at the correct location and elevation. The North
Frontage Road project is not currently funded and will require extensive
coordination with UDOT to finalize a design for the road. Due to the risk of
constructing improvements in the wrong location, and the lack of a drainage
system to accommodate storm water runoff, staff is recommending the
approval of a delay agreement.
Dan indicated that the Council has expressed concern related to Delay Agreements
in the past. He stated that this project is nearing the time where they can be called
so it is recommended for this particular property. He indicated that another
alternative for these in the future would be cash in lieu of improvements. Dan stated
that the City would then assume the responsibility of installing improvements at the
appropriate time. He noted that the only difficulty with this would be that the cost
would be estimated at the time of development and may not cover the actual cost
when the time comes to install the improvements. Mayor Lang and the Council
agreed that they liked this approach and that even if it doesn’t cover the full amount,
there would be some ability to ensure improvements are constructed when needed.
The City Council will consider Resolutions 23-155 through 23-160 on the Consent
Agenda at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled October 24, 2023 at 6:30 P.M

Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
The intended development for this property is a mix of 35,000 square feet
of self-storage space, 30,000 square feet of flex space, and 4,000 square
feet of office. Access would be gained primarily from Beagley Road by
crossing the Riter Canal. Apaloosa Drive would provide secondary access.
The following list of current conditions may warrant consideration of M
zoning on the subject property:
The Northwest Economic Development Area (EDA), which was
created in 2012, includes the subject property. The Northwest
EDA covers approximately 1,000 acres in the northwest part of
the City and makes available incentives for commercial
development.
The Magna Water property to the south and east includes wells
and a water treatment facility. These uses will likely remain in
perpetuity with no chance of having connecting roads to the
subject parcel.
The Western Mobile Estates mobile home park to the west has
only one access, Apaloosa Drive, to 7200 West. Given that there
are already 144 mobile homes with only one access, additional
homes on the subject parcel would not be allowed without another
access.
There are large, distribution warehouses that are part of the ARA
Industrial Park on the north side of Beagley Road.
Mayor Lang noted that a public meeting was opened and closed on October 10,
2023.

COMMUNICATIONS
A. ARCHIVE DISCUSSION
Councilmember Christensen stated that he believes it is important to categorize and
properly archive the City’s art, memorabilia, etc. Jamie Young, Parks and
Recreation Director, indicated that staff would suggest an employee who would
work on a storage system, establishing a policy for retention, and estimating value.

this process. Councilmember Nordfelt asked what the end goal for this would be.
Councilmember Harmon stated that he views this as an inventory of a junk drawer.
Councilmember Christensen stated that there is a lot of art items, gifts from the
Sister City, etc. He noted that this used to be displayed throughout the City.
Councilmember Whetstone stated that he isn’t comfortable hiring a full-time
position for this task and suggested potential seasonal positions or volunteers.
