parcel includes 2 homes. All 17 units on the north parcel were built in the
1950s, are 624 square feet in area, have 2 bedrooms, and have a 1-car
garage. On the south parcel, the house to the north is 1,296 square feet and
was built in 1936 and the house to the south is 962 square feet and was
built in 1928.
The County Assessor has an overall condition that is assigned to every
structure. The condition options include poor, fair, average, good, very
good, and excellent. In this case, all of the units on the north parcel are

Councilmember Harmon stated that all of the proposed lots are less than 8,000
square feet even though the property would be rezoned to R-1-8. Steve replied that
a PUD allows for smaller lots. Councilmember Fitisemanu asked if there are any
variances that are being requested. Steve replied there are some frontage reductions.
Councilmember Harmon asked how wide the properties are across the street. Steve
replied likely 80 feet. Councilmember Harmon asked if any restrictions can be
added to the development agreement to remove issues similar to those at Treasure
Isle. Steve replied that he could discuss some options with the developer.
Councilmember Whetstone asked if on-street parking could be restricted on 6000
West. He noted that that there is a significant slope. Councilmember Huynh asked
if Grow Developers has other development projects in the City. Steve replied none
that are recent. Councilmember Huynh asked if Grow Development has produced
quality residences in other communities. Steve replied that he is unfamiliar with
other projects. Mayor Lang stated that she would rather see 8,000 square foot lots
instead of an open space area. She indicated that she is not in favor of smaller lots.
Steve replied that he could discuss this with the developer but noted that the current
homes are generating rental income and it may not be financially feasible for 8,000
square foot lots. He stated that for this property to redevelop, it would likely have
to have a bit more density. Mayor Lang expressed concern about backing onto
6000 West. Councilmember Nordfelt noted that only 25% of the building material
is brick or stone and the rest is stucco. He stated that he understands that the State
lessened the City’s ability to impose higher standards but asked if the City has held
most developers to the City’s previous standards. Steve replied that there some
cases where this has been done and others where it has not.

Walking Path
Councilmember Fitisemanu asked if a walking path includes sidewalks to
residences. Steve replied no and noted walking paths are typically a perimeter
walking trail around the project. Councilmember Fitisemanu noted that package
lockers seem pretty standard and perhaps shouldn’t be considered an amenity.
Councilmember Harmon stated that he doesn’t see a lobby as an amenity either.
Councilmember Huynh shared a story about a bishop who expressed concern
regarding high turnover. He indicated that the City needs to required higher quality
amenities. Mayor Lang stated that rent often reflects amenities. Councilmember
Whetstone stated that amenities seem to be primarily market driven.
Councilmember Harmon asked if there was a way to determine amenity usage.
After discussion, the Council agreed that amenities are market and population
driven.
The Mayor and Council had no further questions or concerns.
C. POTENTIAL ON-STREET PARKING RESTRICTIONS
Steve Pastorik, CD Director, presented a PowerPoint Presentation summarized as
follows:
- Suggested Formula
• Are cars parked along more than 60% of the available curb space for
parking?
• Formula: (# of cars parked on street x 22’)/(curb length – driveway widths)
- Suggested Process
o A parking restriction request is made by a resident along the street.
o City staff counts vehicles along the street during late evening and/or
early morning hours and measures the curb length and driveway widths.
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – OCTOBER 8, 2024
-20-
o If parked vehicles are using more than 60% of the available curb space
for parking, the City Council will hold a public hearing to decide
whether to impose parking restrictions.
o If the Council decides to impose parking restrictions, City staff will
install no parking signs on one side of the street.
Councilmember Fitisemanu asked if the 5-foot space in the driveway where parking
is already prohibited is counted. Steve replied that this can easily be removed.
Councilmember Huynh stated that the counting of vehicles should be done multiple
times instead of just once. Councilmember Harmon expressed concern about
pushing parking all on one side.
Councilmember Fitisemanu stated that he didn’t know what the perfect solution
was, but liked the idea of having a more objective, systematic way of determining
it. He acknowledged that residents' complaints would still be taken into
consideration but emphasized that the decision should not be based solely on
personal preferences, such as which street to choose. He questioned whether this
approach could be piloted for a few trials or if it would require immediate citywide
implementation. Steve replied that a pilot period could be done.
Councilmember Harmon stated that he is in favor of no overnight parking.
Councilmember Whetstone stated that no parking signs were accidentally placed
on a street in the City and he received a lot of upset calls until they were removed.
He noted that he fears a change will shift the problem.
Ifo expressed appreciation for Steve and his team's efforts in developing a formula
and process. He indicated that the team had done a good job figuring out how to
implement it, understanding that the proposal aimed to address issues like boarding
houses. Ifo expressed uncertainty about whether the solution would work and
highlighted the difficulty of responding to residents' parking complaints without a
consistent process. He mentioned the idea of a pilot program, allowing a trial period
to test the process. This would help avoid making permanent decisions based on
complaints and would provide a more structured way to gather input from residents
and gauge effectiveness.
Mayor Lang asked if one resident could start the process. Steve replied yes. She
asked if the entire street would then be notified of the public hearing. Steve replied
yes. Councilmember Nordfelt expressed concern about spillover into neighboring
streets. He added that boarding homes aren’t the sole source of on-street parking
and banning it could cause issues for families with adult children. The Mayor and
Council discussed potential impacts, restricting overnight parking, looking into

other areas where parking is restricted and if that helped solve boarding home
issues, etc. Councilmember Fitisemanu concluded that he would be in favor of a
trial process with the outcome being banning overnight parking.
The Mayor and Council had no further questions or concerns.
D. COUNCIL CALENDAR
Mayor Lang referenced a Memorandum previously received from the City Manager
that outlined upcoming meetings and events.
Members of the City Council had no further questions regarding the Council
Update.
