PUBLIC HEARINGS SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 4, 2024
A. ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION GPZ-1-2024,
FILED BY PAUL AND KAREEN SWENSON, REQUESTING A GENERAL
PLAN CHANGE FROM LARGE LOT RESIDENTIAL TO LIGHT
MANUFACTURING AND A ZONE CHANGE FROM A (AGRICULTURE,
MINIMUM LOT SIZE ½ ACRE) TO M (MANUFACTURING) FOR
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4053 SOUTH 7200 WEST
Mayor Lang informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular Council
Meeting scheduled June 4, 2024, in order for the City Council to hear and consider
public comments regarding Application GPZ-1-2024, Filed By Paul and Kareen
Swenson, Requesting a General Plan Change from Large Lot Residential to Light
Manufacturing and a Zone Change from A (Agriculture, Minimum Lot Size ½ acre) to
M (Manufacturing) for Property Located at 4053 South 7200 West.
Proposed Ordinance 24-20, Ordinance 24-21, and Reso 24-81 related to the
proposal to be considered by the City Council subsequent to the public hearing, was
discussed as follows:
ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 24-20, AMEND THE GENERAL PLAN TO
SHOW A CHANGE OF LAND USE FROM LARGE LOT RESIDENTIAL TO
LIGHT MANUFACTURING FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4053 SOUTH
7200 WEST
Steve Pastorik, CED, discussed proposed Ordinance 24-20 that would amend the
General Plan to Show a Change of Land Use from Large Lot Residential to Light
Manufacturing for Property Located at 4053 South 7200 West
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
If this application is approved, the applicants intend to develop a self-
storage facility on the subject property. Included with this report is a letter
from the applicants that describe how they arrived at the proposed use. In
summary, the applicants indicated that self-storage was the preferred use
because residential isn’t viable primarily due to Overpressure Zone A,
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – MAY 28, 2024

commercial uses like retail, office, or a restaurant are unlikely in that there
are no other similar businesses nearby, and most industrial uses would be
problematic given the adjoining residential. In the applicants’ letter they
also mention that they will not pursue other uses allowed in the M zone.
The M zone requires a 20’ building setback from a residential zone,
agricultural zone, or residential use. The applicant is requesting that,
through a development agreement, this 20’ setback be reduced to 0’ to
eliminate a 20’ space that is not visible to the public and could create a
security concern for the neighboring residents. There are several self-
storage facilities in the City that adjoin residential where the City’s Board
of Adjustment has approved variances to waive the setback requirement
due to security concerns or the self-storage facility was constructed before
the residential. A development agreement can be used to accomplish the
same outcome.
The City has also submitted a General Plan/zone change application on the
City-owned parcel to the south for a General Plan designation of Light
Manufacturing and M zoning. If the City’s application is approved, the 20’
setback would not apply along the south property line.
ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 24-21, AMEND THE ZONING MAP TO SHOW
A CHANGE OF ZONE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4053 SOUTH 7200
WEST FROM A (AGRICULTURE, MINIMUM LOT SIZE ½ ACRE) TO M
(MANUFACTURING)
Steve Pastorik, CED, discussed proposed Ordinance 24-21 that would amend the
Zoning Map to Show a Change of Zone for Property Located at 4053 South 7200 West
from A (Agriculture, Minimum Lot Size ½ acre) to M (Manufacturing)

The City has also submitted a General Plan/zone change application on the
City-owned parcel to the south for a General Plan designation of Light

ACTION: RESOLUTION NO. 24-81, AUTHORIZE THE CITY TO ENTER
INTO A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH PAUL SWENSON FOR
APPROXIMATELY 2.96 ACRES OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT
APPROXIMATELY 4053 SOUTH 7200 WEST
Steve Pastorik, CED, discussed proposed Resolution 24-11 that would authorize the
City to Enter into a Development Agreement with Paul Swenson for Approximately
2.96 Acres of Property Located at Approximately 4053 South 7200 West.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
Paul and Kareen Swenson have submitted a General Plan/zone change
application (GPZ-1-2024) on 2.96 acres to change the General Plan from Large
Lot Residential to Light Manufacturing and a zone change from A (Agriculture,
minimum lot size ½ acre) to M (Manufacturing). The proposed use for the
property is a self-storage facility.
The proposed development agreement:
1. limits the use of the property to a self-storage facility,
2. allows buildings to be built at the property line along the north and east
sides of the property,
3. requires 7 feet of right-of-way dedication along 7200 West,
4. requires a cash payment to the City in lieu of off-site improvements due
to the upcoming road project planned along 7200 West,
5. delays the installation of live-plant material and irrigation to avoid the
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – MAY 28, 2024

City replacing these items with the 7200 West project, and
6. requires a temporary construction easement to the City to facilitate the
7200 West project.

B. ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION GPZ-2-2024,
FILED BY WEST VALLEY CITY, REQUESTING A GENERAL PLAN
CHANGE FROM LARGE LOT RESIDENTIAL TO LIGHT
MANUFACTURING AND A ZONE CHANGE FROM A (AGRICULTURE,
MINIMUM LOT SIZE ½ ACRE) TO M (MANUFACTURING) FOR
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4063 SOUTH 7200 WEST
Mayor Lang informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular Council
Meeting scheduled June 4, 2024, in order for the City Council to hear and consider
public comments regarding Application GPZ-2-2024, Filed By West Valley City,
Requesting a General Plan Change from Large Lot Residential to Light Manufacturing

Proposed Ordinance 24-22 and Ordinance 24-23 related to the proposal to be
considered by the City Council subsequent to the public hearing, was discussed as
follows:
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – MAY 28, 2024

ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 24-22, AMEND THE GENERAL PLAN TO
SHOW A CHANGE OF LAND USE FROM LARGE LOT RESIDENTIAL TO
LIGHT MANUFACTURING FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4063 SOUTH
7200 WEST
Steve Pastorik, CED, discussed proposed Ordinance 24-22 that would amend the
General Plan to Show a Change of Land Use from Large Lot Residential to Light
Manufacturing for Property Located at 4063 South 7200 West
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
The property is owned by West Valley City, used by Public Works to store
garbage cans, and used by Animal Control to house larger animals.
Approximately the west 50% of the property falls within Overpressure Zone
A with the remainder of the property being within Overpressure Zone B.
Overpressure Zone A is the innermost circle (closest to Northrop Grumman)
and prohibits residential use.
Staff is proposing these changes for several reasons. First, the outside
storage of garbage cans is not an allowed use in the A zone. Second, the
housing of animals is still allowed in the M zone. Third, the overpressure
zone does not allow residential, which is allowed in the A zone, on roughly
50% of this property. Fourth, a General Plan/zone change application was
also submitted on the property directly north for a General Plan designation
of Light Manufacturing and M zoning. If the application on the adjoining
property is approved, the applicant intends to develop storage units on the
property. If the zoning on the subject property remains A, the storage units
will be required to meet a 20’ setback from the A zone and a 20’ height
limitation at the minimum setback. These requirements would not apply if
the subject property is zoned M.
ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 24-23, AMEND THE ZONING MAP TO SHOW
A CHANGE OF ZONE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4063 SOUTH 7200
WEST FROM A (AGRICULTURE, MINIMUM LOT SIZE ½ ACRE) TO M

of $2,064,887.00.
This project will include construction of storm drain piping through portions of the
former Brighton Canal and eliminate any open storm water ditches through the
project area from Redwood Road to 2600 West. The project will also remove an
old bridge over the former Brighton Canal at Decker Lake Blvd.
Decker Lake Business Park was developed prior to the incorporation of West
Valley City. Storm water was historically allowed to drain into two ditches on
either side of the Brighton Canal. This existing system does not function very well
and has caused ongoing maintenance and flooding problems. The Brighton Canal
no longer operates in this area and has largely been abandoned, which now provides
the opportunity to consolidate and pipe the storm water into one system.
