David Billings is the one who made the application, but we've both been trying to help. | 00:00:00 | |
Korean Presbyterian Church with their efforts to relocate. | 00:00:05 | |
I'm not going to rehearse. What staff? | 00:00:09 | |
The Planning Commission have gone through you. | 00:00:12 | |
Read all of that and you're familiar with it. I did want to tell you a bit about the church and the struggles that they face, or | 00:00:15 | |
any church does, in light of the way the code's written. | 00:00:20 | |
The Korean Presbyterian Church started in 1980. They're well established. They've been in the Valley for a long time, and growth | 00:00:25 | |
and demographics has required them to move. And so they've listed and sold their property in West Valley City, which they will | 00:00:31 | |
have to exit. | 00:00:37 | |
Relatively quickly. So they're looking for new space and we've looked. | 00:00:43 | |
In your community extensively because of the membership that lives in this area and. | 00:00:49 | |
We actually have. | 00:00:57 | |
The property is described by Miss March under contract. | 00:00:59 | |
And in our due diligence period, which is 90 days typical in a contract, we have to resolve a variety of issues which includes the | 00:01:03 | |
zoning. | 00:01:08 | |
One of the difficulties with the P zone or the way that the city code is set up, is that to do a rezone. | 00:01:14 | |
You can't. | 00:01:22 | |
A property tied up long enough. | 00:01:24 | |
From a seller. | 00:01:27 | |
To go through the rezone process, and if you could and did and rezone it to AP, it damages the value of the property subsequently | 00:01:28 | |
because it reduces the options of what the property can be used for. | 00:01:36 | |
And that would then require. | 00:01:43 | |
Coming back and trying to rezone it to make it back into AC2 or a commercial property to expand its uses. | 00:01:45 | |
And So what we're seeking to do is. | 00:01:52 | |
Manages his staff has already indicated the Planning Commission is supported include the church in as a as a use within the C2. If | 00:01:56 | |
you look at codes in many of the other cities in the state, that's how it's set up so that churches can be in a variety of | 00:02:03 | |
locations. | 00:02:09 | |
We're anxious. | 00:02:19 | |
Do this as quickly as we can because of the purchase agreement. I know that's not your problem or your consideration and when the | 00:02:22 | |
modification of the code, but I think that what we're asking is similar to what's happened in most other cities and they can make | 00:02:30 | |
it work. And so we would encourage you to allow the churches to be included in in the C2 zone. | 00:02:38 | |
And as I said, you've looked at the report, so I'm not going to rehearse it. Can I answer any specific questions for you? | 00:02:46 | |
Well, my sense is that the issue we're going to wrestle with is the one that Councilmember Fotheringham brought up, and that is, | 00:02:56 | |
it has nothing to do with this church in particular if we text them in the zone that it's going to be open to. | 00:03:02 | |
All church. | 00:03:08 | |
And what are the down the road impacts of that decision? That's the something we'll be debating in. | 00:03:09 | |
Debating and you're welcome to stay and. | 00:03:15 | |
And listen to that discussion. Thank you. Are there any questions I can answer or any issues that have not been addressed for you? | 00:03:18 | |
Can I just ask and you might not know the answer to this? You said that many other cities have allowed this use in their | 00:03:26 | |
commercial zones. Do you know how they have resolved this 600 foot and 300 foot issue? | 00:03:32 | |
Frequently they do it as a conditional use rather than as an allowed use, and sorry I didn't write them all down and bring it. | 00:03:38 | |
I I actually chaired the Sandy City Planning Commission for 10 years and so the way we did it was we looked at it as a conditional | 00:03:48 | |
use. | 00:03:52 | |
And and we would we. | 00:03:56 | |
600 feet is really not that great a distance. If you look at a parking lot, it's frequently deeper than 600 feet. So I I recognize | 00:03:58 | |
that's a question, but it doesn't, you know, it doesn't cast such a broad net that it affects. | 00:04:06 | |
All of the buildings generally hits the parking lots, so it's not as big an issue. | 00:04:15 | |
But I can't give you a better answer than that. That's fine. Thank you any other. | 00:04:21 | |
Thank you. Well, we may we may have some questions for you later and I'll stay. Thank you. All right. Thank you. | 00:04:25 | |
All right. With that, we will open up the public hearing on this proposed amendment. Public hearings now open, so anybody from the | 00:04:34 | |
public. | 00:04:38 | |
That wishes to address the Council. | 00:04:43 | |
Time is now yours. | 00:04:45 | |
We knew I'd probably say something. Chris Langston, 4950. | 00:05:00 | |
Holiday holiday resident here 4954 Fairview Dr. Obviously. | 00:05:04 | |
You know if the 600 feet encroaches into. | 00:05:10 | |
The major commercial areas that are anticipated tax bases or tax bases for the city would have a significant impact. | 00:05:14 | |
On, you know plans that have been in the works and properties that have you know been in existence for 60-70 years and | 00:05:22 | |
representing you know holiday Hills, this 600 feet would encroach into that property. And we have restaurants as you guys are all | 00:05:29 | |
well aware that would be impacted like this and so unless some kind of resolution could be. | 00:05:35 | |
You know, worked out where it doesn't impact it, then you know, we're not opposed to having churches around us, but we can't. | 00:05:43 | |
You know that would eliminate our ability to do any of the restaurants that we have currently have planned and have existed for | 00:05:50 | |
years in in that area including. | 00:05:55 | |
That center and also the one on the West side of the street, so we. | 00:06:01 | |
Probably go on record saying that that would be extremely extreme burden on us as a property owner. | 00:06:05 | |
Thank you. | 00:06:17 | |
Anybody else for the public hearing? | 00:06:23 | |
OK, with that then I'll close this public hearing and again encourage you to stick around for. | 00:06:29 | |
The discussion. | 00:06:36 | |
How many are here and interested in listening to this? | 00:06:40 | |
Work discussion on this. | 00:06:45 | |
Issue if you just raise your hand. | 00:06:48 | |
I just want to get a sense of whether we're going to, if we want to do that here, move across back across the hall. | 00:06:53 | |
We may overtax our small room across the hall, I think. So we'll probably just, I think maybe we'll just stay over here for at | 00:06:59 | |
least a portion of the work session. | 00:07:03 | |
I think it will be easier for everybody so you're comfortable and you can listen to that discussion. | 00:07:09 | |
OK, public hearing on. I'm sorry, we're on item number 7. This is a public hearing on proposed amendments to Title 13.76, point | 00:07:13 | |
730. | 00:07:18 | |
And other chapters on Home, Occupation, and Carrie. This is your item again. | 00:07:24 | |
You want to address this with the Council quickly. | 00:07:30 | |
Or not so quickly if you want, It's up to you. | 00:07:34 | |
Well, you've all read the staff report, so we can go pretty quickly through this. | 00:07:37 | |
This is moving home occupations, which are currently conditional use that is overseen by the Planning Commission. They review | 00:07:42 | |
those and apply conditions based on specific impacts tied to the the home occupation. This moves. | 00:07:50 | |
Home occupations from a conditional use to a permitted use with standards. | 00:07:58 | |
The changes in the code in the staff report. | 00:08:03 | |
Original text is all. | 00:08:07 | |
Listed in there, crossed out in red. So it's a total rewrite of the code. Everything that's in there is new. | 00:08:10 | |
Significant changes are changing the employee number limited to one employee. It doesn't matter if that employee is a resident of | 00:08:17 | |
the home or not. I. | 00:08:21 | |
The other key change is involving in accessory building. Currently our code doesn't allow accessory building use. | 00:08:28 | |
So this changes that to allow an exterior accessory. | 00:08:38 | |
Building and the other significant change is. | 00:08:43 | |
Allowing owner occupied or defining what owner occupied is. | 00:08:50 | |
Currently conditional uses are used that run with the land, so home occupation would be tied to the property itself. | 00:08:57 | |
The Planning Commission overviewed that as owner occupied. | 00:09:06 | |
Meaning somebody who would have to live on the property or a relative living on the property. | 00:09:10 | |
Middle ground between that would be. | 00:09:16 | |
Tying that to property ownership. | 00:09:20 | |
Allowing home occupation, tying to the property owner itself, so the staff report. | 00:09:23 | |
Staff does propose clarifying language. | 00:09:30 | |
To allow for that owner. | 00:09:35 | |
The owner use of a home occupation instead of it being tied to somebody who lives on the property. That would be a consideration | 00:09:37 | |
that can be discussed in the in the work session. All the other summary of changes are listed in there. The standards are pretty | 00:09:43 | |
clear. If you have any questions I can answer any of those. | 00:09:49 | |
Any questions of council right now? | 00:09:58 | |
I'm just glad to. | 00:10:01 | |
Get into that one question of the staff report relative to the code in regard to. | 00:10:03 | |
Who and what family means and all that stuff. Could need some clarification. Never will. | 00:10:08 | |
Iron that out in the work session. | 00:10:13 | |
Right. All right. Thank you, car. | 00:10:16 | |
OK, that with that, we'll open up the public hearing on this proposed amendment. Public hearing is now open. | 00:10:19 | |
Anybody wish to address the Council on proposed amendments to home occupations? | 00:10:25 | |
There being then we'll close this public hearing. Thank you and move on to item number 8. This is a public hearing regarding the | 00:10:34 | |
creation of public infrastructure Districts Pid's at Royal Holiday Hills. | 00:10:40 | |
So we will start with our legal counsel. Mr. Godfrey, you want to? | 00:10:46 | |
Lead out on this one. Thank you Mayor. The city's received an application from the owners of property within the Holiday Hills | 00:10:51 | |
Project, former Cottonwood Mall. | 00:10:55 | |
To create what's known as a Public Infrastructure district. | 00:11:00 | |
Your city recorder has certified that petition as being adequate, and so it's now before you for a public hearing. | 00:11:03 | |
And your consideration for the creation of the district. The creation of the district. | 00:11:10 | |
Would allow the levy or the issuance of bonds and essentially the levy of attacks within the district. | 00:11:14 | |
To build infrastructure supporting that project. | 00:11:20 | |
The way the district boundaries have been drawn in the proposal, it excludes any owner occupied properties. | 00:11:24 | |
So while the tax should be assessed on commercial activities and potentially apartment projects. | 00:11:30 | |
There would never be a tax assessed against a an owner occupied residential unit. | 00:11:35 | |
So with that, I'll submit it to the. | 00:11:41 | |
Any questions for Todd or before we open up the public hearing? | 00:11:44 | |
OK, the public hearing is now open on the creation of public infrastructure districts Pid's at Royal Holiday Hills. | 00:11:51 | |
Anybody here that wishes to address the? | 00:11:57 | |
OK, there being none, this public hearing is going to remain open. There are some. | 00:12:03 | |
Questions that we intend to address during the work session, specifically from our staff to the applicants. | 00:12:08 | |
I think it's important that. | 00:12:15 | |
Get some questions clarified over the next the course of the next week or two and give the public opportunity to comment that over | 00:12:17 | |
the comment on those over the course of the next two weeks. | 00:12:23 | |
With the intent of posting this to the March 7th agenda. | 00:12:28 | |
Is that the way? | 00:12:32 | |
That's kind of the timeline we're looking at. We'll see how it goes. So this public hearing is going to remain open. | 00:12:35 | |
OK. The consent agenda, we don't have any. | 00:12:40 | |
Items to approve on the consent agenda, so we'll move to the city manager, report Gina Chamness. | 00:12:45 | |
Just three quick items. | 00:12:53 | |
We kicked off our spring lane. | 00:12:57 | |
Park. At least that's what we're calling it right now. Reuse plan. | 00:13:01 | |
With. | 00:13:06 | |
Meeting of both staff and other steering committee members as well as members of our Concept of design team, and you'll hear more | 00:13:12 | |
about that plan later in your work session. We also kicked off our historic exhibit Experience project with two meetings last | 00:13:21 | |
week, one of leadership including a couple of council members. | 00:13:30 | |
And staff and community leaders. | 00:13:40 | |
And then one of the general public. | 00:13:42 | |
We're really excited for this work to begin and and are excited to see what the direction it goes. We also have available a a form | 00:13:46 | |
that members of the public can use to share their stories of holiday history. You should have received that in in an e-mail | 00:13:54 | |
earlier today and we'll be circulating that on social media as well. | 00:14:02 | |
And then finally, just wanted to alert the council that we have posted the finance Director position and have received a number of | 00:14:11 | |
applicants for that position. | 00:14:16 | |
First round of interviews will be next week with and my intention is to make an offer hopefully by the end of the month. | 00:14:22 | |
Any questions for? | 00:14:32 | |
OK. Thank you. | 00:14:35 | |
Matt. | 00:14:38 | |
You want to start on council reports. | 00:14:40 | |
If I can get my microphone on, I will do that. Just a couple of things. I was able to attend one of the. | 00:14:42 | |
Meetings regarding the historical experience and it was a really exciting. | 00:14:49 | |
Opportunity. It was great to sort of. | 00:14:55 | |
People there and their interest in holiday and their interest in telling kind of the holiday story. | 00:14:58 | |
I also wanted to report on him. | 00:15:05 | |
Meeting we had the mayor and Holly and I. | 00:15:07 | |
Up at the Capitol this week, I was there on behalf of our Happy Healthy Holiday coalition. It was a anti addiction. | 00:15:11 | |
Meet lobbying effort on behalf. | 00:15:21 | |
A number of groups and we were able to meet with Representative Galen Benyon, who represents part of holiday. | 00:15:25 | |
Wanted to thank her for her time and we had a really productive discussion with her, I thought. | 00:15:34 | |
And then finally just wanted to. | 00:15:39 | |
Jared and some of our city staff, we have kind of. | 00:15:41 | |
One of those great storm water issues in my district that he's working with some residents on and he's been really, really great | 00:15:45 | |
about keeping them in the loop on what's going on and trying to address their problems. So wanted to recognize and thank him for | 00:15:49 | |
that. | 00:15:54 | |
Thank you. | 00:16:00 | |
Just one item this morning I was at UFA for benefits and Compensation committee. | 00:16:02 | |
Maybe it's just time to start throwing out a little warning out there that we might. | 00:16:09 | |
There might be a little heavier Ding this year than last year. Some of you might remember that. | 00:16:14 | |
The budget thing last year from UFA was pretty. | 00:16:19 | |
Probably won't be as late this year, but we'll see. When we talked about benefits in comp, we haven't done. | 00:16:24 | |
Any further than that as a board. | 00:16:29 | |
Beware. | 00:16:34 | |
Or be advised, beware is too strong a word. Don't mean to scare anybody. Be advised. | 00:16:36 | |
Better word. That's all I have. | 00:16:41 | |
Thank you. Just one. | 00:16:47 | |
Some of you may know that Morningside Elementary, that's in my district. | 00:16:50 | |
Because of the district. Because of. | 00:16:55 | |
At that school have a lot of parents who come and drop their kids off in the morning and pick them up and so. | 00:16:59 | |
Sort of the. | 00:17:06 | |
The latest iteration of. | 00:17:09 | |
Parking problems. | 00:17:11 | |
Traffic problems. | 00:17:14 | |
I appreciate both Chief Oil and Jared Bunch. | 00:17:16 | |
They're working on this. We we have had requests from parents. | 00:17:21 | |
Living on. | 00:17:26 | |
South side of the School for everything. | 00:17:27 | |
Lots of sidewalks to crossing guards to new crosswalks. And so we're sort of. | 00:17:31 | |
Going through these all of you know that holiday doesn't have a lot of sidewalks. | 00:17:38 | |
And we are actually putting in sidewalks along 27th East, a three-year project and that's. | 00:17:44 | |
Going to be great for school kids walking. | 00:17:51 | |
There's always a little bit more that are. | 00:17:54 | |
Of us. So we'll see. We'll see what happens with that. | 00:17:57 | |
So I sat on the board of Wasatch Front Waste and Recycling and a few weeks ago in Mill Creek, one of their trucks, one of their | 00:18:05 | |
recycled trucks. | 00:18:11 | |
Caught on fire and thankfully the driver was able to leave and. | 00:18:17 | |
UFA came and took care of things, was able to move the truck to another location, resolve everything fully. | 00:18:26 | |
Currently they believe it was because non recyclable materials were put in recycling. They their best guess at this time is that | 00:18:34 | |
batteries were put in and. | 00:18:40 | |
And sparked things. So this is just kind of a PSA to be careful about what you put in your garbage and your recycling. It caused | 00:18:47 | |
over $100,000 worth of damage to the truck. They're also in addition to the immediate costs. | 00:18:53 | |
One of the still lingering effects of COVID is garbage trucks are incredibly backordered right now. | 00:19:01 | |
So even if they had the money to replace this, getting the parts is really difficult so. | 00:19:06 | |
That's just a PSA for everybody. And then yeah, that's it. | 00:19:15 | |
Gosh, I think I communicated earlier that one of the issues being raised at legislature right now is this issue with gravel pits | 00:19:22 | |
and we've weighed in with. | 00:19:26 | |
Local representatives about our opposition that most mostly it's usurping. | 00:19:31 | |
Usurping may be an understatement in local control. | 00:19:35 | |
And so we will be tracking both those bills pretty closely to see if they're going to. | 00:19:38 | |
Make it to a vote. | 00:19:46 | |
Anyway, that's been a concern. | 00:19:48 | |
Amongst a lot of the mayors around the county. | 00:19:50 | |
I do want to thank John for. | 00:19:53 | |
You know, we've had this issue with the Britton home. I got your e-mail on that. It looks like that home is probably going to be | 00:19:57 | |
demoed. | 00:20:00 | |
It that home is demoed, it's a very, I just want to acknowledge that. | 00:20:04 | |
We acknowledge that that's an emotional issue for a lot of people. | 00:20:10 | |
And it's very difficult issue to balance. | 00:20:14 | |
Desire of a community to maintain a what they perceive to be a historical structure and also protecting people's private property | 00:20:18 | |
rights is. | 00:20:23 | |
Very. It's a difficult issue and. | 00:20:28 | |
And I have to say, I don't. I didn't get into the weeds on this, but I think that the owner of that did try. | 00:20:31 | |
To work with members of the Commission to see if there was a path forward and eventually he just. | 00:20:38 | |
He just couldn't get there and had to get to the. | 00:20:45 | |
Because of other issues, I think it became a nuisance in the community where. | 00:20:48 | |
They couldn't come to an agreement where it could be saved so but I appreciate you engaging with them and I know they appreciated | 00:20:53 | |
the fact that we were empathetic to the situation and did all we could to try to. | 00:20:59 | |
Try to reach a solution that would have saved the home, but it just it wasn't to be so anyway. | 00:21:07 | |
John, thanks for you and your staff for your engagement on that issue. | 00:21:12 | |
Just as an FYI or Interfaith council, Which? | 00:21:17 | |
Meets quarterly. We've got a meeting next week, but Monday. They've started monthly to meet and discuss certain topics. We'll be | 00:21:22 | |
meeting Monday night here at 7:00 PM for anybody that would like to attend. | 00:21:27 | |
We'd welcome. | 00:21:34 | |
And that is all that I have right now I think. | 00:21:36 | |
You ready for a ready? | 00:21:41 | |
Mr. | 00:21:43 | |
I move, we recess City Council and reconvene and work. | 00:21:45 | |
2nd. | 00:21:48 | |
OK, we have a motion to second all in favor, say aye, aye. | 00:21:49 | |
We are now magically in work session. | 00:21:54 | |
So typically we would move back across the hall and start working over there. But beings that there are a lot of people here to | 00:21:59 | |
list, do a discussion, I don't think we can accommodate it across the hall. | 00:22:04 | |
My suggestion would be that we handle two of the items that were we take the agenda out of order, we handle two of the items that | 00:22:09 | |
were public hearings, moderate income housing and then the the amendment to the C2 zone here. And then if we want to stay, I guess | 00:22:14 | |
we can all let staff start thinking about whether they just want to stay here, if they want to move across the hall after that, | 00:22:20 | |
so. | 00:22:25 | |
I don't think we need a motion on that. I don't think there's a lot to cover under the moderate income housing. | 00:22:32 | |
Issue item number. | 00:22:38 | |
Five on the agenda. | 00:22:42 | |
But there were a few questions I think from council that you had for Ann. So and you want to come back up and and we'll get to a | 00:22:44 | |
point where the council is comfortable and then we'll move on. | 00:22:49 | |
All right. We'll start if you don't mind. My first question had to do with. | 00:22:57 | |
On page one on the analysis section is the bottom of that page. The last sentence there talks about becoming eligible, so I just | 00:23:02 | |
wanted to go back and review. | 00:23:07 | |
Is this eligible? | 00:23:13 | |
This funding that's being talked about when we're in compliance. | 00:23:16 | |
Is this remind me? Is this a new part of? | 00:23:21 | |
Or is this an existing pot of funding that we've been eligible for but now is at risk? | 00:23:25 | |
No, it's a part of funding that's been there. It's the transportation funding. We just. | 00:23:31 | |
Didn't report on the five strategies that you need to report on and to become eligible to apply for those transportation monies. | 00:23:38 | |
OK, so an existing pot of funding we've typically had access to, which now has more constraints. | 00:23:45 | |
As a result of this legislation, OK, it's the stick. It's the stick. I just didn't remember if it was. | 00:23:53 | |
If the carrot part was a new part of funding, so it's putting at risk current funding, OK, got it. | 00:23:59 | |
So being. | 00:24:06 | |
Meeting those requirements means eligible means where we can receive our share or it is eligible mean we have a shot at funding. | 00:24:08 | |
It means we have a shot. So even if we're in compliance, it doesn't necessarily guarantee that we get funding, it just puts us. | 00:24:17 | |
Higher in the queue, yeah, we can apply for it, we can apply for it, but we still have to beg even after we have qualified. | 00:24:27 | |
So I guess the last point would be. | 00:24:38 | |
Because I saw some comments in the staff report, I think regarding the Planning Commission, there is some concern that we were | 00:24:43 | |
that we might be overcooking it and and so I just wanted to back up and and how I view this as. | 00:24:50 | |
This is a multi year campaign by the legislature to. | 00:24:58 | |
Gradually make this topic a little more onerous each year on the municipalities. | 00:25:04 | |
And so it's this, sort of. | 00:25:10 | |
Slippery slope that year by year gets steeper and steeper and more slippery and more slippery. | 00:25:12 | |
And and so our it seems our strategy should always be to be each year barely compliant because if you. | 00:25:17 | |
Are over compliant or you you put in some extra credit. It's not going to be to your advantage in the next year because you you | 00:25:28 | |
can't carry that over. | 00:25:33 | |
Is that a fair statement? | 00:25:37 | |
Once you've counted something, you can't keep counting it the next year you've got. | 00:25:40 | |
Add more right and so. So I just wanted to make sure and I'll just have to rely on on your expertise and staff. | 00:25:44 | |
That that if my presumption is correct that we're that we're not overcooking it that we're not showing off because we won't get | 00:25:53 | |
any extra credit for any over compliance that we want to slide in right on the nose so that any. | 00:26:00 | |
Additional compliance can. | 00:26:08 | |
Saved for what's coming. | 00:26:10 | |
In future years. So that's my only point is this. I presume that's the case, but I wanted to make sure that we're not overcooking | 00:26:12 | |
it because it's not to our advantage, because I remember our objective here with this thing, even though we all share the goal of. | 00:26:19 | |
Finding affordable housing. | 00:26:27 | |
And having portions of affordable housing in the community which we live. | 00:26:30 | |
Yeah. I share that goal with the legislature, but our goal with this is just to be compliant. | 00:26:34 | |
Actually part of the statute includes ongoing strategies and ongoing tasks. So if we, as you noticed on the staff report and on | 00:26:41 | |
the task, you'll see the frequency of the quarterly, annually, biannually type of notation on each task so that we can report on | 00:26:51 | |
them. That's the only way we can continue to report on them and stay in compliance is by adding those ongoing. | 00:27:00 | |
Words like frequencies. | 00:27:11 | |
But your your opinion is that we've we're just we're only adding enough. | 00:27:14 | |
We're not overcooking it, right? Great. | 00:27:18 | |
That's all I had. Yeah, we had that. We kind of had that discussion. When I read through the staff reports, like we'd identified 6 | 00:27:23 | |
items and then we identified. | 00:27:27 | |
Three additional to add to it and to your. | 00:27:31 | |
It's like. | 00:27:35 | |
Should we just keep some of those in reserve? So, but when when I was talking to Ann about she said no, we can add. | 00:27:36 | |
We're not a lot of them we can't accomplish anyway, but they're on our list and we can continue to report on them as long as we're | 00:27:43 | |
working on them, right. They they don't necessarily have to be accomplished right. And so we may not what we have now may may | 00:27:49 | |
suffice for the next couple of years depending on how we. | 00:27:55 | |
Without adding anything. | 00:28:02 | |
So that was my question. Is it, it seemed strategic to identify areas where we could create ongoing goals for a longer period of | 00:28:03 | |
time, so we didn't have to come up with new goals. Is that part of the way we're approaching this is to look specifically for | 00:28:09 | |
things? | 00:28:14 | |
We can will take a long time to accomplish so that we don't have to every year. | 00:28:20 | |
Come up with something. Is that is that accurate? Yes. OK. | 00:28:25 | |
Anything else for you? And I also wanted to clarify, Drew, it's actually two properties that we have here that are. | 00:28:32 | |
We're looking to preserve. | 00:28:39 | |
OK. Thanks. | 00:28:43 | |
I just want to make a brief. | 00:28:45 | |
And I wish Mr. Hilton was still here because I think he was referring to the missing middle and that ongoing discussion. | 00:28:48 | |
And this as it relates to this particular issue which is bringing affordable housing to our communities and the solution to that | 00:28:54 | |
and the inferred solution to that is being. | 00:29:00 | |
Increase your density, which will increase inventory, which will lower the prices. | 00:29:06 | |
And what he was referring to in his next door post I believe is. | 00:29:12 | |
That Holton Park has added. | 00:29:17 | |
Smaller lots but. | 00:29:20 | |
Homes are for sale for in excess of $1,000,000, so. | 00:29:22 | |
In holiday, that doesn't seem to. | 00:29:27 | |
A formula for success in terms of bringing affordable housing. It's a it's A and I say that because I want to. | 00:29:30 | |
Empathize with the state that it's a problem, but it's a very difficult problem to solve in holiday just by increasing density. | 00:29:37 | |
Thanks, Ann. Appreciate it. | 00:29:46 | |
OK. We're going to move on now to item number six, which is this proposed amendment to Title 13, which and I have to, I'm going to | 00:29:48 | |
admit that I thought this was kind of a no brainer text amendment until Paul brought this up in the work session regarding this | 00:29:54 | |
600 foot. | 00:30:00 | |
I had not thought about that. | 00:30:06 | |
And I don't think it's an issue of a single application, although in this case it may be it's the ongoing issue of. | 00:30:08 | |
If we allow this use to be added to the C2 zone now. | 00:30:19 | |
If somebody comes in and it's a permitted use. | 00:30:24 | |
All of a sudden you have placed a ring around that particular location in terms of what can go there and that could be that. | 00:30:28 | |
I think is maybe the essence of your. | 00:30:37 | |
What are the? | 00:30:41 | |
Points from which the 600 or 300 feet are measured. | 00:30:43 | |
So for. | 00:30:47 | |
A Tavern license, essentially a bar. It's 600 feet and I don't think there's a straight line measurement for bars in the state | 00:30:50 | |
code. I'll have to check on that. But for a beer license, the proximity restrictions, like a a restaurant beer license or even a | 00:30:56 | |
restaurant full service license, the proximity restrictions are 300 feet and you measure from the door of the alcohol service | 00:31:02 | |
facility. | 00:31:08 | |
Along a normal pedestrian route to the property boundary. | 00:31:15 | |
Of the community location. | 00:31:19 | |
Then there's a straight line measurement that is 200. | 00:31:22 | |
That goes from the door of the serving establishment in a straight line to the property boundary. | 00:31:25 | |
Community location. So those would be the restrictions you would have in this case. | 00:31:31 | |
So the property line in this case, if they're, they're not actually the property owner, It'd be the property line of. | 00:31:36 | |
The I don't know. I don't know what the extension of that center looks like. I don't know if this parcel is part of the broader | 00:31:42 | |
center. If it's a separate tax parcel, I'm not sure how that looks. | 00:31:48 | |
That would be something we'd need to look. | 00:31:55 | |
Right. Because then does it include, yeah, the parking lot? | 00:31:57 | |
Of the one thing I didn't know until today was that we're talking about, we actually are talking about Creekside. | 00:32:00 | |
Right. And so, yeah, does that. | 00:32:07 | |
Just this, the front of the building, or does it include? | 00:32:10 | |
Parking lot. | 00:32:13 | |
Parcel and even and regardless. | 00:32:15 | |
That's going to go well. | 00:32:19 | |
Holiday. | 00:32:21 | |
And so. | 00:32:22 | |
Yeah, I mean, if you had existing church, there's already, there's already elbow room there, but. | 00:32:25 | |
But for anybody in the future, if the Church is there first. | 00:32:33 | |
Then it it. | 00:32:38 | |
They're the grandfathered 1 essentially. And so then anybody around there and would that even constitute of course, you know, of | 00:32:40 | |
course if they're. | 00:32:44 | |
Does that would that end up? | 00:32:49 | |
Even being equivalent of a taking from the surrounding land owners if suddenly their. | 00:32:51 | |
Ability. | 00:32:59 | |
Lease to a bar or a restaurant that inhibits their ability to. | 00:33:01 | |
It cuts off all of their options, yeah. I think your insulation from a legal takings claim is pretty good. | 00:33:09 | |
In this area, but what I think you want your staff to look at. | 00:33:16 | |
The measurement points and how that might affect what we see going on already on holiday hills, what their land use is, it's | 00:33:20 | |
established. | 00:33:24 | |
In certain parts of it and how then it might affect the other, the other blocks that remain for development, you know where we | 00:33:28 | |
know where their restaurant pads are are sort of. | 00:33:33 | |
I guess slated to go. | 00:33:39 | |
And my suspicion is. | 00:33:41 | |
You're outside the proximity restrictions, certainly for a restaurant license. | 00:33:44 | |
I don't know about a Tavern. | 00:33:49 | |
And I don't know whether there's any plans for a Tavern anywhere on that property. That's something to look at the the. | 00:33:53 | |
Brew pub that's been. | 00:34:00 | |
I don't know. | 00:34:04 | |
That looks like on the proximity restrictions without already having an approval it may not be an issue. | 00:34:06 | |
At this point. | 00:34:12 | |
But those are those are the things I think you want your staff to look at. | 00:34:14 | |
Yeah, when it comes to other properties besides the holiday hills, is there is it worth looking at rather than making it? | 00:34:17 | |
Permitted use, making it a conditional use option. So. | 00:34:25 | |
Because is that, I mean is that does that do anything I don't think, I don't think it buys you anything in terms of the alcohol | 00:34:30 | |
licensing issue. | 00:34:34 | |
And candidly, a conditional. | 00:34:37 | |
In almost every sense of permitted use now, it would only be what mitigating circumstances you could apply to some detrimental | 00:34:40 | |
effect of the use itself. I don't. I don't think that necessarily solves. | 00:34:46 | |
Any of the present problems you're discussing, I don't think. | 00:34:52 | |
Adds much to your consideration. And if we. | 00:34:56 | |
If we just go ahead and say, oh, it's OK, then we didn't really kind of lose control of. | 00:35:00 | |
Where it can happen within any C2. | 00:35:06 | |
Right, You can't say, well, it's OK there, but we'd rather have you over by 39th and Highland. | 00:35:09 | |
If you go there, we're fine, but once. | 00:35:15 | |
You give it a green light, it's going to go in any C. | 00:35:18 | |
And you know, I certainly have no objection other than this issue for a church to exist in a C2 and. | 00:35:21 | |
But but it's that elbow room and I wouldn't even be surprised if the the church members themselves cared about the 600 foot rule. | 00:35:31 | |
But it's not. That's not our call. That's a state imposed thing. You can't waive it. | 00:35:38 | |
And so, even though it might be something that neither the council nor the applicant cares about it. | 00:35:45 | |
It's imposed upon us and. | 00:35:52 | |
I'm uncomfortable with it because of that because I feel like. | 00:35:57 | |
It would affect. | 00:36:01 | |
The property ownership rights of anyone adjacent because even though you know, Woodbury I think owns that whole strip, if they | 00:36:04 | |
didn't, you know, say if they were two different owners and the church goes on the corner lot, then that affects the rights of the | 00:36:10 | |
property owner next door and who they can lease to. And it's that elbow room problem that that's kind of why I think we have | 00:36:17 | |
churches in the P zone because they're kind of in places that already. | 00:36:23 | |
Contemplate the elbow room needed. | 00:36:31 | |
And C2 does not contemplate that C2 is where we put our restaurants. | 00:36:34 | |
Yeah, so you got you know you. | 00:36:40 | |
This issue in particular of whether we allow it and then what? | 00:36:42 | |
Where are? Where is that 600 foot line and who's it going to affect? But it's also. | 00:36:47 | |
All the other C2 zones now have a There's a there's an entitled right there. | 00:36:52 | |
So if somebody puts a church in here and there's there's no bars or Taverns or whatnot within 600 feet. | 00:36:58 | |
They can do it, but now it is now it is excluding that use in that radius, right? And. | 00:37:05 | |
That's I got to work that out. | 00:37:12 | |
So. | 00:37:17 | |
Made reference to the fact that this had been done in other cities. Could we have the staff look at maybe how the issue has been | 00:37:18 | |
addressed in other cities? | 00:37:22 | |
Yes, I would like that as well. | 00:37:26 | |
So I'm a little bit confused. Can you clarify? I mean, Todd, a minute ago you were talking about 300 feet from the door. | 00:37:30 | |
But we've also been talking about 600 feet. So how does it actually work? The alcohol licenses, the different alcohol licenses | 00:37:37 | |
have different proximity restrictions. | 00:37:42 | |
So for a Tavern or a bar, it's a 600 foot proximity restriction for a restaurant. | 00:37:47 | |
That has either a beer license or a full service alcohol license. | 00:37:53 | |
It's a 300 foot measurement. | 00:37:57 | |
Along a normal pedestrian route or a 200 foot straight line measurement. | 00:38:01 | |
So the state code specifies for alcohol licenses the different kinds of licenses and the proximity restrictions that apply. | 00:38:06 | |
And you have adopted those in your city code, and candidly you don't have the ability to alter them. | 00:38:13 | |
Because even if you would say we would issue an alcohol license, the state wouldn't. | 00:38:18 | |
Based on the state code proximity restrictions. So they're the ones that issued the alcohol licenses. OK, thank you for that | 00:38:23 | |
clarification. Yeah, a practical example. | 00:38:28 | |
In our city. | 00:38:34 | |
Is where. | 00:38:35 | |
Right now. | 00:38:40 | |
They changed their license. | 00:38:43 | |
From A and I can't remember I. | 00:38:46 | |
I can't keep up with the liquor laws in the state, so they confuse me. | 00:38:49 | |
But when they change their liquor license, it changed the proximity requirement, correct? | 00:38:55 | |
And so has anybody been to mint sushis and tapas? | 00:39:00 | |
Well, you need to support your local businesses for starters. | 00:39:06 | |
But you cannot exit out of the back door. | 00:39:10 | |
It's locked because when they got that license. | 00:39:13 | |
That door fell within by two or three feet, the proximity distance that you're talking about, and that's why that door is locked. | 00:39:16 | |
So you have to walk around to the Plaza to get in. When they change the license to open up the bar to the public, it was a | 00:39:24 | |
different license, the proximity change. And so that's what we're talking about is. | 00:39:29 | |
Well, yeah, we don't have any issue with. | 00:39:35 | |
A church being there, but now what are the downstream effects it's going to have on? | 00:39:39 | |
On all the properties in any any potential C2 application. | 00:39:45 | |
So. | 00:39:51 | |
200 feet, 600 feet pedestrian rout. | 00:40:05 | |
Straight. | 00:40:11 | |
From the property line of the establishment to the entrance of. | 00:40:14 | |
Or sorry, the property line. | 00:40:19 | |
Community resource. | 00:40:21 | |
Better to the entrance. | 00:40:25 | |
We don't. That's not, we don't have a picture of that in the packet, Dewey, that shows this specific application and then the. | 00:40:29 | |
It would be helpful for me to see what that radius impact looks. | 00:40:38 | |
And here where? | 00:40:42 | |
A large property owner. | 00:40:44 | |
Is if you're infringing within the 200 feet. | 00:40:47 | |
Of any part of the property line is. It impacts the entire property. | 00:40:52 | |
I can't answer that question based on the language of the statute right now. I'd have to look at it a little more closely, Matt. | 00:40:58 | |
I suspect that's the case. | 00:41:06 | |
But that's something I would have to look at. | 00:41:11 | |
Well, certainly for me to be comfortable, you'd have to really, really know what the impact would be, if it's. | 00:41:15 | |
If a quasi public use is going anywhere in any of our C twos. | 00:41:22 | |
What's the impact to the the? | 00:41:28 | |
Property holders, do you have a sense that if we can get? | 00:41:31 | |
If we can get a better visual. | 00:41:35 | |
Reference on What does this actually mean in terms of this application? What it can mean for future applications? | 00:41:39 | |
Are we going to get to a vote on this on the 7th, do you think? | 00:41:46 | |
We'll see. Well, I think what we're trying to communicate here is this is not as simple as. | 00:41:54 | |
Is how it appears that. | 00:42:02 | |
It's creating an issue amongst this council. | 00:42:04 | |
What the immediate impacts are for this specific application, but more importantly, what does it mean to entitle this property | 00:42:08 | |
right in the C2 zone for all the C2 zones in the city down the road? | 00:42:13 | |
So that's something we're going to have to work out between now and March 7th and. | 00:42:20 | |
And part of it's going to be actually seeing. | 00:42:25 | |
What does this mean like show? | 00:42:29 | |
Where this application is and then where is that 200 foot straight line and what properties is it going to impact? Because I think | 00:42:31 | |
that may have a lot to do with how we land on this, yeah. And also might affect property owners outside of the city because we we | 00:42:37 | |
have C twos that border with Mill Creek. | 00:42:43 | |
Like our 39th South and Highland Dr. area. | 00:42:49 | |
We've got a bar on our side and there's a bar on the other side. | 00:42:53 | |
It gets complex. | 00:43:00 | |
OK, that actually leads me to another question. So if there's a bar already there and the church wants to come in, if we authorize | 00:43:04 | |
this, could the church just not come in? | 00:43:08 | |
If the church couldn't come in if they fell within that 200 radius of a community location, can locate within proximity to an | 00:43:13 | |
alcohol use if they choose to, but not the other. | 00:43:19 | |
One way St. I did not know that that's interesting. | 00:43:27 | |
OK. | 00:43:31 | |
So if there's bars or restaurants already there. | 00:43:33 | |
The community location, I just wanna make sure I understand. Yeah, you can set your daycare up next door if you choose to. | 00:43:38 | |
OK. | 00:43:44 | |
So that would be helpful to get from staff. Anything else? | 00:43:49 | |
That you can think of right now that would be helpful to get from staff as we start to consider as we start to move to that March | 00:43:53 | |
7th, they can consider this. | 00:43:57 | |
OK. | 00:44:04 | |
We'll give you. | 00:44:23 | |
I don't know if there's a way to determine. | 00:44:25 | |
Demand for churches, Like if we were to allow this, would we all of a sudden be? | 00:44:28 | |
Swarmed. I mean, that's kind of what I was thinking. I don't think this is something that's all of a sudden going to swarm holiday | 00:44:33 | |
with their religious fervor, so. | 00:44:37 | |
So I just, I I mean I I recognize that we do need to look big picture here and I appreciate that. But I, I, I, I don't think that | 00:44:42 | |
this is going to be a high demand situation is is my impression. But I would love to know more information on that. Yeah, it'll be | 00:44:48 | |
helpful to me to get to see this specific application. | 00:44:54 | |
And what that radius looks like, Yeah, just because it may not be. | 00:45:01 | |
It may not be as big an impact as I'm thinking it might be if it extends into holiday hills and starts reducing. | 00:45:06 | |
The ability of holiday hills to put a use in that concerns me. | 00:45:14 | |
Because that's pretty big rad. | 00:45:19 | |
But they've already gotten like they said there was a. | 00:45:22 | |
Tavern or something that had already been approved, like it's already been approved then they have, right? So, so Holiday Hills is | 00:45:25 | |
already kind of figured out what they're doing where then would that they would all be grandfathered in, but if it's been approved | 00:45:30 | |
and it changes to C2? | 00:45:35 | |
A church could still go in within that radius because it's a one way St. in terms of yeah, that's what I'm saying. The Tavern | 00:45:41 | |
wouldn't be affected. Yeah. OK, Yeah, Yeah. Right. That's good to know. OK. | 00:45:46 | |
So we're skipping all over the place and typically we'd be over there, but my suggestion is. | 00:45:52 | |
With a apology to MHTN, who's here for spring lane that we handle the other public hearings right now and then take a a brief | 00:45:59 | |
break and move over to handle the Spring Lane issue. Is that OK? | 00:46:04 | |
And for those that are here for this, we're done talking about this right now. We're not going to be offended if you get up and | 00:46:14 | |
leave, but if you want to stay, you can. | 00:46:18 | |
You're welcome to thank. | 00:46:22 | |
The home so home occupations. | 00:46:26 | |
I thought this one was pretty simple too, but I thought the C2 was. | 00:46:33 | |
But to restate again, this one really to me was. | 00:46:38 | |
It was a long staff report that basically. | 00:46:43 | |
The home occupation things becoming a bigger thing and if we could just create some basic simple standards that allowed staff to | 00:46:47 | |
approve these applications. | 00:46:52 | |
It could take care of a lot of the administrative workload and then if it goes outside of whatever those standards are, then we | 00:46:59 | |
all then it can come back to the Planning Commission to create conditional uses, correct Todd? | 00:47:05 | |
So I have no real problem with that other than the issue that we talked about, which is. | 00:47:12 | |
And maybe Carrie, you can clarify this a little bit, the issue of. | 00:47:18 | |
Can my concern? | 00:47:23 | |
Can somebody who owns a home and doesn't live in the home? | 00:47:26 | |
Which is becoming more common? | 00:47:30 | |
Then approve. | 00:47:33 | |
Home occupation permit or a use in that where they don't occupy it is that that's a concern I have. Can they do that the way this | 00:47:36 | |
is currently? | 00:47:41 | |
Constructed. | 00:47:48 | |
Uh-huh. Come on up and we're going to grill you. | 00:47:49 | |
So, and that was Councilman Fotheringham's concern with the language as is. So the language stated in the code is that owner | 00:47:55 | |
occupant is defined as and specifically item A. Is that correct? | 00:48:03 | |
The Yeah. So, So. Well, first, let's back up just. | 00:48:12 | |
When you say current code, because we had this conversation before about what is current code versus what's changed because the | 00:48:17 | |
whole thing is new. Whereas I came into it thinking what was in black was actually current code and the red and blue was the | 00:48:24 | |
change. But that's not necessarily the case. The whole thing is pretty much new and red and blue meant. | 00:48:31 | |
Subsequent edits of the original draft, which is all a change. | 00:48:39 | |
And so then in the staff report. | 00:48:46 | |
In the key significant changes item number 3. | 00:48:50 | |
We've got the item which is allowance for onu occupied, owner occupied with a specific definition of owner occupied. | 00:48:54 | |
The previous language was person residing in the home. I presume in previous language was pre to all of this whole change which | 00:49:03 | |
says just the resident only, not anybody else and then the next thing the reasoning implies that we're just talking about | 00:49:10 | |
expanding that definition a little bit. | 00:49:18 | |
From person residing in the home to person residing in the home and his dad essentially. | 00:49:26 | |
Related party. | 00:49:33 | |
So I'm thinking, well, that sounds fine. | 00:49:35 | |
But then we go to the actual code. | 00:49:37 | |
And that was like line 82 ish I think it was. | 00:49:41 | |
And standards. | 00:49:47 | |
Sorry, what? What line did you say? So starting in line 8282. OK standards. And this is where we start talking about this is where | 00:49:49 | |
this is start talking about owner occupied staff report implies the person who lives there, whether they own it or rent it. | 00:49:57 | |
But now adding Dad if dad owns it and Dad can own a home business that his son occupies, that's a pretty narrow expansion that | 00:50:07 | |
everybody, I presume, would be cool with. | 00:50:13 | |
But then in the standard, it says a dwelling must either be the primary place of residence. That's fine for the person conducting | 00:50:20 | |
home occupation, that's current. | 00:50:25 | |
Or be owner occupied. | 00:50:31 | |
So or be only owner occupied. So then I see that last phrase there on sentence 2. | 00:50:35 | |
And then I've got AB and C, which I believe just applies to that second part of sentence two. So either you're the resident or | 00:50:41 | |
owner occupied with the owner occupant defined as. | 00:50:47 | |
The person who's on the deed. | 00:50:56 | |
That's not necessarily the resident's dad. That's anybody. | 00:50:58 | |
Right. There's no condition for occupation with that, right. There's there's no relationship there. So that expands what's been | 00:51:02 | |
proposed in the staff report significantly. | 00:51:07 | |
Not saying it's right or wrong, but it is not the same. | 00:51:13 | |
Right. And then or any person who is related by blood, marriage, adoption, not the person living, but to the deed owner. | 00:51:16 | |
So that means that not only I can. | 00:51:24 | |
Home business. | 00:51:28 | |
In a property that I own, but I'm renting to an unrelated neighbor. | 00:51:30 | |
Also my brother. | 00:51:36 | |
Can operate a home business in the home that I own but is occupied by my unrelated neighbor. | 00:51:38 | |
Or your wife's great uncle. I mean, we were talking about related by blood, marriage or adoption. I mean, yeah. So it has nothing | 00:51:44 | |
to this language has nothing to do with the relatives of the occupant, which the staff report seemed to imply. | 00:51:51 | |
Before right. | 00:52:00 | |
That that specific point is brought out in kind of this subset bullet point. | 00:52:03 | |
Where staff is proposing clarifying language to allow home occupations by the property owner. | 00:52:09 | |
Examples of that are on the second page. | 00:52:17 | |
Where you might have situations where somebody has purchased a property, maybe they don't live on the property. | 00:52:21 | |
But are using it. | 00:52:29 | |
To operate their business. | 00:52:31 | |
Photographers. Pretty common if they have an in home studio. Maybe they rent out the basement and are using the main portion of | 00:52:34 | |
the home as a studio. Same thing with like a significant yard use agricultural. | 00:52:40 | |
Photography studio kind of thing, where we have these larger estate properties. Maybe you have a photographer who owns a property | 00:52:48 | |
who wants to use it for their business and have clients come to the property, but they don't actually live on the property, so | 00:52:53 | |
that's. | 00:52:57 | |
It was intended as a recommendation to extend that just to. | 00:53:03 | |
The owner of the property. | 00:53:08 | |
One for simplification so that you're not getting into. Are you renting this? Do you have? Are you related? How are you going to | 00:53:11 | |
prove a relation if it's just extended to the owner of the property and the? | 00:53:17 | |
Property maintenance, property care is all within the standards that are in home occupations. | 00:53:25 | |
That is where that recommendation for extending that to the owner of the property. | 00:53:32 | |
OK. And so that's that may be well and good, I haven't really processed that. | 00:53:38 | |
But I just thought that the staff report as I was reading it, we were saying. | 00:53:44 | |
The entitlement is here. We're going to expand it to here by adding Dad. But the language isn't that at all. It's if you own it. | 00:53:50 | |
Regardless of who you've rented to, you can have also have a home business. | 00:53:58 | |
In that home that you own so. | 00:54:04 | |
And you're renting out even though, so it still has to be a primary residence to whomever. But we're not talking about just what | 00:54:08 | |
it was which, which the staff report implied previous to all this, was that the occupant? | 00:54:15 | |
The resident, whether they're the owner or not, it was limited to them. | 00:54:22 | |
Now we're saying, but then the staff report implied, well, but let's add Dad, because maybe he owns the house. | 00:54:28 | |
And he's related to the occupant. | 00:54:36 | |
But then, this language in the ordinance is not that at all. | 00:54:39 | |
Right. The language in the ordinance is if you own it, doesn't matter who's in it, you can do a home business in there. | 00:54:43 | |
As long as the. | 00:54:53 | |
Use is still the. | 00:54:55 | |
Resident occupant. | 00:54:58 | |
Right. And that that owner use is the is recommended in the staff report it's. | 00:55:00 | |
3rd bullet point that's in there. | 00:55:08 | |
Is it possible to just tighten up that language on that to be on line 88 to kind of? | 00:55:10 | |
To close that loophole that Paul is mentioning. | 00:55:16 | |
Right. And that's the consideration. Do you want to limit? | 00:55:20 | |
A home occupation to somebody who either resides there or is related to the property owner. | 00:55:24 | |
I guess the property owner has to or. | 00:55:31 | |
Simpler, cleaner to just extend that to the property owner? Well, I guess that's a policy question that I'm wondering about now. | 00:55:34 | |
Because to me, part of the reason for. | 00:55:42 | |
The business owner to reside on the property. | 00:55:47 | |
Is that they were there. They could observe what was happening. They had a relationship with their neighbors. They were going to | 00:55:51 | |
be responsible if it's somebody who owns the property but doesn't live there. | 00:55:57 | |
What's the policy reason for that recommending that expansion? | 00:56:04 | |
The recommendation is based off of. | 00:56:10 | |
Sometimes significant property investment or. | 00:56:14 | |
Just a use of a property as a property owner. | 00:56:19 | |
That they would. | 00:56:23 | |
Possibly still have that same investment in the property. They'd want to maintain it for business purposes. | 00:56:25 | |
If they're seeing clients at the home. | 00:56:31 | |
As is a property owner could own a property rent. | 00:56:34 | |
The main portion of the house and then still use an accessory building for their own personal use. The difference when it goes to | 00:56:39 | |
a home occupation with a permit is when they're having clients who are coming to the house. | 00:56:45 | |
Home occupations largely are either. | 00:56:53 | |
When it's somebody who's living at the house, when we're looking at the. | 00:56:56 | |
Does it make a difference if it's the person who's living at the house versus? | 00:57:01 | |
Somebody who doesn't live at the house. | 00:57:05 | |
Are those impacts all mitigated with the standards? All the parking has to be on site? | 00:57:07 | |
The hours of operation are limited. There's noise ordinance issues. You know, there's occupations that are expressly prohibited. | 00:57:15 | |
So all of those standards. | 00:57:20 | |
As staff, we feel that those standards mitigate those impacts. Typically, if you have an issue with a home occupation, neighbors | 00:57:27 | |
are pretty aware of that and will call code enforcement if there are issues. | 00:57:34 | |
And so the. | 00:57:41 | |
You've talked about a lot of best case scenarios where property owners care about their properties. | 00:57:44 | |
Even if they don't live in them. I mean generally properties owners would. | 00:57:49 | |
Tend to care more about the one they live in. | 00:57:54 | |
But we've also seen property owners who? | 00:57:57 | |
Rent out residences and. | 00:58:02 | |
Dives. | 00:58:06 | |
But perhaps we're saying that that's going to happen regardless of whether or not there's a. | 00:58:07 | |
Business also being run by the property owner. | 00:58:12 | |
Right, by having the the licensing we do. | 00:58:16 | |
That then comes with the ability to inspect property to make sure that they are in compliance with the standards within the code. | 00:58:21 | |
So if there are significant issues, then licenses can be revoked or discontinued. Fines can be issued tied specifically to the | 00:58:29 | |
business operation. | 00:58:33 | |
In our code for property maintenance. Right now our existing code only entails, you know, specific property maintenance standards | 00:58:39 | |
with appearance and other issues. | 00:58:45 | |
To properties that are being rented. So those same property maintenance standards don't currently extend to properties that are | 00:58:50 | |
owned, but they are extended to properties that are rented. So there's a property maintenance coverage when you're renting a | 00:58:56 | |
property versus a property maintenance coverage that isn't there for an owned property. | 00:59:03 | |
In how our code is currently. | 00:59:10 | |
My concern is that if this if. | 00:59:13 | |
Businesses go South. | 00:59:17 | |
You're saying, you know, we can go in, we can revoke the? | 00:59:19 | |
The license and everything but that is after there are problems and I am just. | 00:59:23 | |
I am hesitant. | 00:59:28 | |
Expand this as. | 00:59:31 | |
The current language says it's expanding, I think. | 00:59:34 | |
Someone who is living on the property. | 00:59:38 | |
Should have a connection to that business. | 00:59:41 | |
I I I don't know. I guess I've just had so many problems with short term rentals in my area that. | 00:59:46 | |
You know, like Paul. | 00:59:52 | |
It's Some owners just don't care, and that's a problem. | 00:59:54 | |
And there can be consequences, but that means the neighbor has the neighborhood has to go through those consequences before the | 01:00:00 | |
problem is resolved. | 01:00:03 | |
Yeah, you're going to have to. | 01:00:09 | |
Sounds great and then? | 01:00:11 | |
Start collecting data. Start taking pits, or start showing us. Prove it. | 01:00:15 | |
And it drags on and on and on. | 01:00:20 | |
And so is the intent of this to. | 01:00:24 | |
Expand. | 01:00:27 | |
So the way this is written, I got to think of this. | 01:00:30 | |
Right now. | 01:00:34 | |
Owner does not have to reside on the property where the business is. | 01:00:36 | |
With the current language, it states that the property owner or that the person has to occupy the property. | 01:00:42 | |
To be eligible for a home occupation. | 01:00:51 | |
Does the resident have to own the property? No. So Paul could buy a house in his neighborhood. | 01:00:54 | |
And he could rent it to a. | 01:01:00 | |
Who can then apply for a home occupation? I'd be the one applying. | 01:01:03 | |
So well, both. Either one how it works is that the property owner signs a property ownership affidavit and then authorizes the | 01:01:08 | |
tenant to. | 01:01:13 | |
To apply for a home occupation. So then the tenant who resides on the property is operating the home occupation. | 01:01:19 | |
So owning a home, neither one of us could apply for home business for that location, whether I'm the owner or whether I'm the | 01:01:27 | |
occupant. And so I guess where I went wrong was was in that first that reasoning paragraph. It gave an example, but that wasn't | 01:01:34 | |
the universe. It was one of many examples. It just happened to be. | 01:01:41 | |
One example that happened to be a related party, but the related party wasn't. | 01:01:49 | |
The related party being the resident, not the. | 01:01:55 | |
Just happened to be. | 01:01:58 | |
One of many possible circumstances where I. | 01:01:59 | |
I got off the track where I thought that was the limit of the expansion we were talking about. | 01:02:03 | |
Right, but that was not the case. The other perspective that staff looked at was conditional uses and. | 01:02:08 | |
Home occupations that would run with the land, so conditional uses stay tied to a property. | 01:02:15 | |
This removes A conditional use that would run with the land, so. | 01:02:22 | |
It was created as a balance of. OK, if you retain ownership of the property, can you continue the use as? | 01:02:26 | |
Accessory business use even if you don't reside on the property. | 01:02:34 | |
Considering that, that would. | 01:02:39 | |
A land use that stays with the land. | 01:02:41 | |
That would transfer to another owner if another owner purchased the property and wanted to. | 01:02:44 | |
Continue a home occupation. | 01:02:50 | |
Yeah, I'm. | 01:02:54 | |
I yeah, I got to think about this here. I mean, I'm more aligned with Drew on this one, I think. Here's my concern is. | 01:02:55 | |
We're already having problems with short term. | 01:03:04 | |
And the people evaluating the purchase of a home as an investment tool. | 01:03:07 | |
Which is in my opinion side note driving, driving up the price of homes and creating. | 01:03:13 | |
A problem with affordable housing site issue. | 01:03:20 | |
But now we're going to expand the opportunity for people who are buying homes as in investments. | 01:03:24 | |
As an investment to allow somebody to run a home occupation business and not occupy that home. So now not only do they really not | 01:03:30 | |
care about that home, but they don't care about the business that's going to go into that home. | 01:03:37 | |
And are we just adding another problem on top of? | 01:03:45 | |
A problem that we're already seeing in terms. | 01:03:49 | |
Of non owner occupied homes in our communities. | 01:03:53 | |
Am I not thinking about this right? It's legitimate? | 01:03:58 | |
It also it also seems like. | 01:04:03 | |
Like you. | 01:04:06 | |
It makes it more likely to move away from the purpose of the residential zone as residential like it. It creates some greater | 01:04:08 | |
economic incentive for people to look at this as an investment or as a business situation and not as a residential situation in | 01:04:13 | |
the way that they develop the land and take care of it, even though there are standards they have to maintain once again if they | 01:04:18 | |
don't. | 01:04:24 | |
You have to go through the whole process to have them stop. Yeah. You know, people, It's just philosophically people, I think, | 01:04:29 | |
move into a particular neighborhood to live in a neighborhood with their neighbors. | 01:04:35 | |
And we've got this situation that's evolving where? | 01:04:42 | |
That's becoming less and less of a reality because people are buying these residential homes to rent them out for profit. | 01:04:46 | |
Not that I'm against people making profit, but now we're getting. Now we want to expand that. | 01:04:53 | |
Oh, and also we're going to expand the ability for people to run businesses out of there that don't even that don't physically | 01:04:59 | |
reside in that home. | 01:05:02 | |
It seems like we're exacerbating a problem that. | 01:05:07 | |
I got it. I think I'm OK with your one objective, which is to codify, you know, and make it not take away the condition used that | 01:05:12 | |
runs with the land and and. | 01:05:18 | |
To standardize home occupation licenses. | 01:05:25 | |
It's but, but there's a second piece in here which happens to do with. | 01:05:28 | |
The rights of Home occupation. | 01:05:33 | |
And property ownership rights and expanding that to include stuff there. There's two objectives there. I think we can still be OK | 01:05:36 | |
with your first objective, which is try to codify and how far do we want to go in terms of of the requirements we're going to have | 01:05:43 | |
for the owner to live on the site. I have no issues with creating standards and trying to make it easier for staff to approve | 01:05:49 | |
these and keep it away from the Planning Commission, but. | 01:05:55 | |
How narrow narrowly we define. | 01:06:02 | |
To me, it's about I want the owner. If they're going to run a business out of there, I want the owner to live on that property, | 01:06:07 | |
because at least they have. | 01:06:11 | |
Responsibility and hopefully take some pride in what they're doing and they have some sort of responsibility to the neighbors that | 01:06:15 | |
these home occupation businesses. | 01:06:20 | |
Or next to. Yeah, and I was even OK with the. | 01:06:25 | |
The wrong understanding that we were just expanding that a little bit to be in the family. | 01:06:29 | |
So that. | 01:06:35 | |
You know, if it was Scotty house or Jordans house, you had a business there and. | 01:06:36 | |
You allowed an inheritance to of that house to go to Jordan for instance. | 01:06:41 | |
That that business could still keep going even. | 01:06:46 | |
He lived there instead of. | 01:06:49 | |
That's only that's still an all in the family. That's the first example in the reasoning that seemed OK. | 01:06:50 | |
Go ahead if I could ask a question because. | 01:06:58 | |
Not sure I understand the full concern to the Council. Is the concern to the Council that the business operator reside? | 01:07:02 | |
On the. | 01:07:09 | |
Or is the concern of the Council that someone with an ownership interest in the property? | 01:07:10 | |
Reside there and conduct the business. | 01:07:16 | |
That sounds like you understand. So if you looked at line 85, and they're not the same thing if you looked at line 85 and you | 01:07:23 | |
strike the word either. | 01:07:26 | |
And then on line 86 you strike everything from the home occupation. So it says dwelling unit must be the primary place of | 01:07:30 | |
residence for the person conducting the home occupation. | 01:07:35 | |
And then you strike those subsections. | 01:07:41 | |
Does that get to the Council's concern? | 01:07:46 | |
Or are you wanting to impose a requirement? | 01:07:48 | |
That for a home occupation to be undertaken within a residence. | 01:07:52 | |
The residence has to be owner occupied. | 01:07:56 | |
Well, you're saying that renters under one of these renters couldn't do that under the other condition that you're saying renters | 01:08:01 | |
could not? | 01:08:04 | |
Concerned about the home occupation being operated by an owner of the property, a renter couldn't run a home occupation in a home | 01:08:10 | |
they were renting. | 01:08:13 | |
However, long term their rental may be, it seems to me it's more important to have the occupant who's living there. | 01:08:18 | |
Because the current standard is the occupant. | 01:08:25 | |
Yeah, I'm fine with that. | 01:08:29 | |
Your concern has been that we could allow someone who doesn't live at the residence doesn't live there. It is completely unrelated | 01:08:34 | |
to the occupant, Yeah, to conduct the business, right? | 01:08:39 | |
Because that initial staff report paragraph that I got missed, that I misunderstood was I thought we were only expanding. | 01:08:47 | |
The resident. | 01:08:55 | |
Requirement to the resident and. | 01:08:57 | |
Residents. | 01:09:00 | |
Essentially, is it possible to take this language to make it what you understood it to be, so that it is just? | 01:09:01 | |
The resident and the. | 01:09:08 | |
A parent, because it was it language, were centered on the resident and not the owner. I think that would get me there. | 01:09:10 | |
Because this is about the rest of the I was just gonna say Todd can draft anything if we come up with the idea. | 01:09:17 | |
Current state subdivision ordinance is a mess. | 01:09:25 | |
I think it's just important that we know from a policy standpoint. | 01:09:29 | |
If your concern is that it's an owner of the property that conducts the business, or if your concern is that it's a resident on | 01:09:34 | |
the property that conducts the business. | 01:09:39 | |
Because if you're if you're worried about a family business being able to pass. | 01:09:44 | |
I don't think a family will have a problem figuring out how to make that happen if it's a home occupation, right? | 01:09:50 | |
Somebody in the next generation who is the primary occupant of the house will be in charge of the business. Now whether mom and | 01:09:56 | |
dad stay involved, right? | 01:09:59 | |
They have. They have a means to address that. | 01:10:04 | |
If you're second, if it's you really want owners. | 01:10:06 | |
To be able to do home occupations and not renters, that's a different issue altogether. I think that maybe has some legal. | 01:10:11 | |
Issues in the back of it that make me a little bit uncomfortable. | 01:10:19 | |
I'm perfectly comfortable if your requirement is you have to live there. | 01:10:22 | |
Yeah, that's all that's easy. I think that's the concern that the person operating the business is there on site interacting with | 01:10:26 | |
the neighbors. | 01:10:30 | |
With the ties to that neighborhood. | 01:10:36 | |
So can you create language? | 01:10:39 | |
I think or does this say that we've just been going in a big we can put some clarifying language that narrows it to primary | 01:10:42 | |
residency? I think that revision is easy. | 01:10:48 | |
Good. Thank you. | 01:10:55 | |
Is that the major concern? I think that was the big topic. | 01:10:57 | |
Anything else on that before we just one one little kind of parochial question. So there's this little. | 01:11:01 | |
Home Occupied Flower Farm across the street from me does this. | 01:11:10 | |
And is that use included? | 01:11:15 | |
The uses identified in this. | 01:11:19 | |
Provision and so we would apply to them, but as long as. | 01:11:23 | |
Live there and meet all the other requirements there. | 01:11:27 | |
Right. | 01:11:31 | |
There's, yeah. So they would have the. | 01:11:34 | |
There's a fall under the conditions that were applied to their conditional permit. It would change over if they were to move and | 01:11:37 | |
another property owner. | 01:11:42 | |
Purchase the property they would have to apply for a new home occupation permit under the standards that are being proposed. So | 01:11:47 | |
would that would the way this is. | 01:11:52 | |
Knowing what that use is, would that be a staff approval or do you think that would have to go to the planning flower farm? | 01:11:58 | |
A flower farm would be a staff approval, OK? | 01:12:05 | |
It's out. If there's a use that falls outside of what these standards are, then it would go to a conditional use for review by the | 01:12:08 | |
Planning Commission. | 01:12:12 | |
Thank you. | 01:12:18 | |
All right. Thanks. | 01:12:20 | |
Sorry to grill you like that. | 01:12:22 | |
Thanks Ho. | 01:12:26 | |
All right. So the last public hearing we have is on the Pids. | 01:12:31 | |
The Public Infrastructure district and the application that has been delivered to the city. | 01:12:36 | |
And I think the primary. | 01:12:44 | |
There's a lot in there in terms of how it's created and those sorts of things. | 01:12:47 | |
My my sense is. | 01:12:51 | |
This is really going. | 01:12:55 | |
The Our Council. | 01:12:58 | |
You and our outside counsel that's working on this and. | 01:13:00 | |
Getting to a point of comfort. | 01:13:05 | |
To tell the council, yeah, I think we're good on this. I think we're going to defer to since we've never done this, have deferred | 01:13:08 | |
to council and staff a lot on this. So my questions are mostly centered around the bullet points that were in the staff report of | 01:13:14 | |
questions that you had, I believe for the applicant. | 01:13:20 | |
Regarding what they had submitted to the. | 01:13:27 | |
So what do you want to review? How do you? I'll turn this over to you and let you walk through the council on this. | 01:13:30 | |
On this one. | 01:13:37 | |
All right. | 01:13:40 | |
So. | 01:13:43 | |
We have, as a staff and Council, including our outside counsel, review the governing document and had identified a number of | 01:13:45 | |
issues that required either further clarification or where we were asking for further information. | 01:13:54 | |
And and just in the last day or so have received another draft that resolves some, but not all of those issues. There are a couple | 01:14:06 | |
of issues I think the council might want to discuss this evening, including clarification of governance and board requirements. | 01:14:16 | |
And then clarification of phasing costs and individual and the costs of individual parking structures within each of those pit | 01:14:26 | |
areas. | 01:14:31 | |
Todd, I don't know it maybe you could summarize the governance issues and what our recommend. | 01:14:37 | |
Yeah, the the creation of a board to govern this public infrastructure district, which is a governmental entity that will be | 01:14:45 | |
created inside of the City of Holiday. | 01:14:48 | |
There are. | 01:14:54 | |
Statutory means in ways to have that. | 01:14:56 | |
That board created, and at the outset in the governing document you can establish who will serve on that board. | 01:14:59 | |
And they need to either be an owner of property within the district or be an agent of an owner of property within the district. | 01:15:08 | |
And that requirement has to continue throughout the life of. | 01:15:14 | |
The Infrastructure district. | 01:15:20 | |
Some of the questions that come up are and and the one that is most prominent in our mind is. | 01:15:23 | |
Because the the levy that is proposed to be authorized inside of this district. | 01:15:30 | |
Could be relatively heavy. | 01:15:38 | |
It could work in to be a fairly substantial number. | 01:15:40 | |
Do we want to provide for the opportunity for a property owner who isn't an owner of the property now? | 01:15:44 | |
That it say somebody buys a portion of this. | 01:15:52 | |
Is operating in there as a commercial operator of some kind has a substantial interest. Do we want to provide for them to have the | 01:15:56 | |
right to have a seat? | 01:16:01 | |
On that district board. | 01:16:06 | |
One of the things we always think about from a policy standpoint, one of the biggest issues you can have with government is | 01:16:07 | |
representation in the levy of taxes. | 01:16:11 | |
And if you have a substantial property. | 01:16:16 | |
Who purchases later? | 01:16:19 | |
And is being taxed in this. | 01:16:21 | |
Do you want them to have a seat at the table? | 01:16:24 | |
Government governance in that, and there are different ways we could do that. We could talk about proportional ownership and how | 01:16:27 | |
that might look. They have to get to a certain percentage of ownership before they have the right to have a seat on that board. | 01:16:34 | |
I don't think we want to require them to sit on the board because you may have a substantial operator who doesn't care. | 01:16:42 | |
Who buys understanding what the levy is and doesn't care to be on the board of the district? And I wouldn't want to force them to | 01:16:48 | |
serve, but if they wanted a substantial, you know. | 01:16:52 | |
That seems to make some sense so. | 01:16:58 | |
That's one of the questions that we would like some guidance from the council on as we've talked through the issue with. | 01:17:02 | |
The folks who are proposing to create the Infrastructure district. | 01:17:09 | |
I think you make a good point in that. | 01:17:14 | |
It seems like there would even be in the current property owners interest to a degree I think. | 01:17:18 | |
To allow for in that governing document. | 01:17:24 | |
To have that sort of, you know, minimum, you won't necessarily want to be. If you have tiny slivers of ownership, that wouldn't | 01:17:28 | |
qualify, but a standard. | 01:17:32 | |
Board governance agreement where if you own at least X percent, then you have an opportunity to have a weighted voting share That | 01:17:37 | |
could also be. | 01:17:42 | |
Proxied. If they didn't want to exercise it individually, they could proxy it to the. | 01:17:49 | |
Management company. | 01:17:56 | |
CEO People just like State Farm does, you know, And they said that. So yeah, I'd say a minimum ownership of X percent. I'm not | 01:17:58 | |
sure what that is. | 01:18:03 | |
With the right to, you know, gather proxies. If they didn't want to set, I'd agree with that. | 01:18:08 | |
Same, are there statutory requirements about what the size of the board is or anything like that? | 01:18:14 | |
So I think it's a minimum of three. And I think there's something that has to be in the odd number unless there's more than | 01:18:20 | |
eleven, Yeah. So you know, we're usually not getting in that range, but generally we recommend. | 01:18:27 | |
5. | 01:18:34 | |
Just to keep it from the casual, two people get together. Oh, you've got a. | 01:18:36 | |
And can those governing can that count also be adjustable based on numbers of major owners? | 01:18:42 | |
You could have adjustments. We've seen spring boards and upon certain thresholds it goes from a three seat to A5 seat. You could | 01:18:51 | |
do the opposite as well. | 01:18:56 | |
Yeah, so if you have like. | 01:19:03 | |
20% then you have an up to 5 member board. | 01:19:06 | |
If you had 20%? | 01:19:09 | |
A board seat is 20% too much. Should it be 10? | 01:19:12 | |
What makes sense? | 01:19:16 | |
I think a larger percentage would feel more comfortable. | 01:19:18 | |
From my seat and I'm sure for the owners they would prefer that that be larger, but that's something we can discuss with them | 01:19:22 | |
offline and bring something back to you, yeah, I think, I think. | 01:19:26 | |
Everybody's in agreement that. | 01:19:32 | |
A scenario. | 01:19:35 | |
You've created a pit. You've created a pit board that the city really is not involved with at that point. | 01:19:37 | |
And you're. | 01:19:43 | |
They're taxing themselves now. Somebody comes in as an owner. | 01:19:45 | |
And they could basically be tax. | 01:19:49 | |
Without representation. | 01:19:52 | |
And if they have, I don't know, whatever the percentage is that you would think if there's a certain percentage of ownership that | 01:19:54 | |
was changed hands. | 01:19:58 | |
That they should have a right to be represented on that pit board if they're going to tax themselves. | 01:20:03 | |
Essentially. | 01:20:09 | |
That makes sense to me. However, you, however, the legal people come up with that language with the developers. But yeah, I think | 01:20:12 | |
we agree on that. | 01:20:16 | |
Yeah. | 01:20:21 | |
One of the other issues that we are. | 01:20:22 | |
To to really evaluate closely with better information. | 01:20:26 | |
Is there's a maximum? | 01:20:31 | |
Is it a maximum bond issuance number? | 01:20:34 | |
Of 80 million that's in the governing document now. | 01:20:38 | |
We we're trying to get a little better handle on that number for a lot of reasons. | 01:20:42 | |
If you're going to authorize the levy up to a dollar amount, you kind of want to know why and what the background is there. So | 01:20:49 | |
we're asking for information and they're working to provide that. We've gotten some information now and we expect. | 01:20:55 | |
So that's that's the other major question that has been out there from our perspective I think. | 01:21:01 | |
That we anticipate we'll be able to get resolution on and. | 01:21:06 | |
Something more certain by the. | 01:21:10 | |
Yeah, so is the question here. | 01:21:13 | |
We are going to approve the ability to create this PID to as a source of funding, bond funding. | 01:21:18 | |
To build. | 01:21:26 | |
Infrastructure, which according to document I'm reading is $50 million, let's say. | 01:21:28 | |
And so why would we approve? What's the justification? I understand the concept of well. | 01:21:33 | |
We're not tax, we're not taxing our, they're taxing themselves. So what difference is well. | 01:21:40 | |
I think it comes down. | 01:21:46 | |
Trying to be responsible and that we're going to create this for a specific purpose. | 01:21:48 | |
So why do you need to fund it beyond what the specific purpose is? I guess that's a question. That's the question we have and | 01:21:54 | |
that's why we're waiting for that information. There's a student in the back here. | 01:21:59 | |
You're welcome to come up here too. | 01:22:06 | |
Keep in mind, we're learning as we go here. We've never done a pit, so we're asking. | 01:22:14 | |
Todd may know a lot of answers these questions, but we've never done this and so we're trying to understand. | 01:22:19 | |
You know the justification behind some of these things that are going to be in the approval of this document if it's approved or | 01:22:23 | |
this pit if it's approved and and Aaron Wade with Gilmore Bell. So we've been the outside pit council here the the primary reason | 01:22:29 | |
that you would see like. | 01:22:35 | |
Two or so years of the project until. | 01:23:16 | |
The revenues can match the debt service. Usually there's a 10% reserve funded and then there's just cost of issuance. You got to | 01:23:18 | |
pay your lawyers, you got to pay your accountants, all of that kind of stuff. And so that's what. | 01:23:25 | |
Might take a $50 million project fund. | 01:23:32 | |
And make it a $70 million bond and then there's headroom. So that's that's why there's, you know there's always going to be a | 01:23:36 | |
lower project number than the requested debt limit just to account for those things. But I think what's being asked for is can we | 01:23:42 | |
just see a little bit more backup to help us understand is 50 million the right number and is 8 million, 80 million | 01:23:48 | |
correspondingly the right debt limit. So it gives them a little bit of. | 01:23:55 | |
Of wiggle They're going to fund this project. I think there's language inside of the agreement that basically says the funding has | 01:24:02 | |
to go to this. | 01:24:06 | |
But if. | 01:24:11 | |
If it goes over, it creates an Ave. for them. | 01:24:13 | |
To raise that mill rate, To raise the funds depending on what the actual cost ends up being, but it's still all going to be | 01:24:16 | |
directed to. | 01:24:20 | |
This public infrastructure, and these are not just we can raise more money, we're going to put it over here. | 01:24:24 | |
Right, right. | 01:24:30 | |
And to that point Mayor, that is another area of discussion that we have had with the applicant. So Section 4 details the benefits | 01:24:33 | |
of the districts and and has a broader definition than we have. We have discussed previously with the applicant that included | 01:24:41 | |
parking structures, sewer and wastewater improvements, water lines, landscaping, streets. | 01:24:49 | |
Curbs and sidewalks, we have discussed narrowing that definition a bit and so I anticipate that in the next draft you see that | 01:24:58 | |
language would would be related to parking structures and other and related improvements rather than the broad definition you | 01:25:04 | |
currently see. | 01:25:11 | |
OK. | 01:25:19 | |
I'm going back to the bulleted list to see if there's anything else we want to highlight briefly. | 01:25:25 | |
Erin, since you are there, maybe you would highlight dissolution requirements. | 01:25:33 | |
And then annexation potential as well? | 01:25:40 | |
Yeah, so. | 01:25:44 | |
Dissolution I'm trying to remember at the. | 01:25:46 | |
What the language in the latest draft said, But generally speaking, a local district or now they're called special districts. | 01:25:49 | |
Would dissolve, you know, upon its board determining that its purpose is no longer needed. And so here for this district, | 01:25:56 | |
generally that would be when the debt's been discharged and the ownership of the parking structure has been settled. And so I | 01:26:01 | |
think. | 01:26:06 | |
Yeah. So currently the language right here in front of you shows upon a determination of the City Council and the recommendation | 01:26:12 | |
that we forward and we'll note to follow up on is just change that from City Council to the the board, because under state law, | 01:26:16 | |
the City Council doesn't. | 01:26:21 | |
You know, doesn't make that finding, and I don't think you guys will want to be supervising. | 01:26:26 | |
That anyways, so we just change it that the board would look around and say, OK, our bonds are gone, our parking lots. | 01:26:30 | |
Sorted outlets dissolve and stop charging, but you have to dissolve. | 01:26:36 | |
But you would, yeah. So what's the purpose? And we could put some stricter language that upon that they shall take those steps if | 01:26:40 | |
that's kind of the. | 01:26:44 | |
The preference, but for now it's it would be just a discretionary. | 01:26:48 | |
You know item because I think at the work session last time we kind of discussed there might be after the bonds are discharged, | 01:26:53 | |
there might be a need for the district to hold. | 01:26:57 | |
That continue to own the parking garage for a longer time just to sort through any issues on that side, but we could put some | 01:27:01 | |
parameters that would push them towards a dissolution. | 01:27:05 | |
If would they be able so the parking structure, in this case parking structure is finished, the bonds are retired. | 01:27:13 | |
What would be the reason to allow the pit board to continue to impose? | 01:27:23 | |
Attacks when the purpose of that tax has been extinguished. | 01:27:28 | |
So that I think the district could probably. | 01:27:33 | |
Continue to exist. But I don't. They wouldn't be able to levy the property taxes without a justification because at that point it | 01:27:36 | |
would be just levying for their own administration, right? To cover their audits and to cover. | 01:27:42 | |
Those kinds of expenses, but not operations so so they wouldn't be able to maintain at the 1 1/2 mills without. | 01:27:49 | |
Yes. Well, the money has to go to a specific purpose. So this gets back to Gina's comment that you were going to tighten that down | 01:27:56 | |
a little bit. | 01:27:59 | |
I just want to make sure the money is going to what it's intended for, and if the bond has been extinguished and the parking | 01:28:04 | |
structure is there and there's all sorts of other stuff included in what can be funded. | 01:28:09 | |
Are we going to be OK? | 01:28:15 | |
Oh well, let's. | 01:28:17 | |
Impose. | 01:28:19 | |
Tax. | 01:28:21 | |
Keep the tax in place to do all these other these improvements that. | 01:28:23 | |
So I'm assuming we'll just tighten down what the money can go towards, right? | 01:28:28 | |
That's the intention. | 01:28:34 | |
And then one other thing we did want to highlight was just the right now, the governing document would allow the creation of three | 01:28:40 | |
distinct. | 01:28:45 | |
Pits it would. It also provides a annexation area and Aaron as you explained that is permitted under statute. Yeah. Yeah. So if I, | 01:28:50 | |
I don't know if somebody whoever is controlling could show the the map it's kind of the I think it's maybe like exhibit A. | 01:28:59 | |
But the state law allows. | 01:29:10 | |
The the Council to. | 01:29:12 | |
Oh yeah, that was the one with the red and the blue. | 01:29:14 | |
State law allows. | 01:29:18 | |
City to approve the districts with an annexation area at your discretion. And so here you can see the maps in the blue, they've | 01:29:20 | |
got the three PID areas and then there's the additional parcels in red, which would be the annexation area. And essentially what | 01:29:26 | |
that would allow is for any of the three districts, they could annex any of that red property without having to come back through | 01:29:32 | |
a process with the City Council. | 01:29:38 | |
And the general purpose for that that we. | 01:29:45 | |
Is just to. | 01:29:48 | |
Changes to accommodate changes in their phasing, right. So maybe this is a little bit different than like a single family | 01:29:50 | |
residential, but if you owned 1000 acres, you might not know exactly where each St's going to go for the next 5 or 10 years. | 01:29:57 | |
So it allows flexibility to annex. | 01:30:04 | |
You know neighborhoods that will be financing improvements around the same time. You know here are the applicant could probably | 01:30:07 | |
speak more to the the plans but this just gives them the flexibility to adjust boundaries only within this pre designated area | 01:30:14 | |
without going through a full city process. I guess that would come back though I mean it would raise that question to me of. | 01:30:20 | |
Ownership within the annexation area and having those owners have an Ave. to the pit board. | 01:30:28 | |
Because there would be a scenario where. | 01:30:34 | |
What if, say, the old Macy's building was sold to somebody else, but it's part of the pit annexation area and the pit board | 01:30:38 | |
decides they're going to annex that area and now they am I. So is this like way out? Am I thinking way out there? Because the | 01:30:46 | |
concern would be then they can the pit board can then impose a tax. | 01:30:54 | |
A position. | 01:31:34 | |
To be part of that process, they can't. | 01:31:35 | |
Yeah, They couldn't reach out and grab it and drag it and then say, oh, and by the way, here's your head tax, right? Yeah, you're | 01:31:38 | |
exactly right. OK. | 01:31:44 | |
So Mayor, I think that is all the significant issues that we had highlighted in the staff report. I don't know if council members | 01:31:56 | |
have other questions or questions for the applicant. | 01:32:01 | |
Well, I mean, I don't know if the other council member, this is all this is all new to me. It all makes sense at this level, but I | 01:32:07 | |
am. | 01:32:11 | |
I am really. | 01:32:15 | |
Council and and staff to understand what our concerns are to make sure we have an agreement. | 01:32:18 | |
That makes sense. | 01:32:24 | |
And you know the council I think is going to deferred a lot to our council and city manager and to say, hey look, I think we've | 01:32:28 | |
got a good clean agreement then we can look at it and see what what clarifying questions we have. | 01:32:34 | |
And so I think it's a matter of how hard everybody wants to work on this between now and March 7th. | 01:32:41 | |
What's your you've done this before, Todd. I mean, what's your sense of where we're at with this? It doesn't seem like there's a | 01:32:47 | |
lot of. | 01:32:52 | |
Outstanding, major issues. I don't see anything that looks like an impediment to getting something done and ready for the. | 01:32:56 | |
Right now. | 01:33:03 | |
OK, so we'll just count. | 01:33:06 | |
Yourself and working with the developers to answer those questions and getting comfortable and then we'll see where we end up. | 01:33:08 | |
Any other questions? | 01:33:17 | |
From other council members. | 01:33:19 | |
No, I've gotten comfortable with the concepts. But yeah, the devil's in the details and that's where we rely on you guys, I think | 01:33:22 | |
in. | 01:33:25 | |
But overall, conceptually I don't have a problem. | 01:33:28 | |
Mac did. | 01:33:33 | |
Kind of the first comment we were getting to about how we create the pit board. One of the issues we have is so our initial | 01:33:41 | |
company is a land holding company and then we create development companies that all have. | 01:33:46 | |
Separate ownership. It's controlled by similar, you know US and other affiliates but. | 01:33:52 | |
Managing OK. | 01:33:58 | |
Which of these companies have, what percentage of the overall property do they own? How do we make sure they have the right number | 01:34:00 | |
of board seats? And then does that all of a sudden trigger us having to go back before you to get the same people reelected under | 01:34:03 | |
different? | 01:34:07 | |
Ownership. | 01:34:11 | |
Is just was complicated to us. | 01:34:13 | |
In the end, like if we have a large commercial user that's coming in, they're not going to care what percentage they owe and | 01:34:16 | |
they're just going to see the PID there and say no, no, we're required to have a board seat, which will then come before council | 01:34:20 | |
asking for them and it'll become contingent on their deal anyway. | 01:34:24 | |
Which is all allowed. That's in the document right now. So I guess all I'm saying is we'll work with Todd to come up with what | 01:34:29 | |
that right language should be. But we were trying to just keep it broader and simpler not to try and make it so we have some | 01:34:32 | |
uniform. Oh, we just. | 01:34:36 | |
Dictate over new property owners or something just. | 01:34:40 | |
We know this is going to be a bunch of different property owners of our affiliate entities. | 01:34:43 | |
If and when or there is a large commercial group that comes in that wants to buy property or operate in this property. | 01:34:47 | |
More than likely they're going to come in and say. | 01:34:54 | |
We don't care what our percentage is. We want to be on the. | 01:34:57 | |
We're going to come before you and we're going to add a board member seat or replace one of ours or whatever their stipulations | 01:35:00 | |
are in order to have that user. | 01:35:03 | |
Here. So I think it's it's valid. We should address it and we'll get there. I'm just not sure it's as easy as just saying like a | 01:35:07 | |
20% allocation or something. I think I think our goal rather is just to have a minimum standard and but but yeah if you've got a | 01:35:13 | |
negotiated deal with. | 01:35:18 | |
Guy who doesn't meet that standard you want to put on the board, fine. I think it's more of a a minimum standard that that you're | 01:35:25 | |
not excluding a significant property owner, but being inclusive. | 01:35:31 | |
Building your board pick. | 01:35:37 | |
It's on you, Part of your part of what you're saying, too. | 01:35:40 | |
Regardless of what we put in the document for protections. | 01:35:45 | |
Buyer is not. It's going to be part of a due diligence where they say look if. | 01:35:49 | |
There's a pit involved here and we're going to have a piece of the ownership. We're going to demand to have a stay in it, just | 01:35:55 | |
we're going to demand a position on the board. | 01:35:59 | |
Just recently we were looking at buying a building that was where we were part of a condo association that owned a parking | 01:36:05 | |
structure and. | 01:36:08 | |
And you were 99% of the way there turned into who actually controls the voting rights over ongoing maintenance of this deck. | 01:36:12 | |
Turned out we didn't have authority to actually make sure our parking rights were always there. | 01:36:17 | |
And so we wound up not being able to close on the deal all because. | 01:36:23 | |
You know of underlying issue that you're going through and due diligence gets you and there's no way for us to get on that board. | 01:36:26 | |
And so we obviously have to have the door open, which I think it already says the door is open, but then at the same time. | 01:36:31 | |
If it if it's really complicated and restrictive, so it's like oh this percentage has to be on, you know so like as we create all | 01:36:37 | |
these separate entities, how many, how many entities have to have the? | 01:36:42 | |
Members or different members or how many times we have to come back every time we bring in a new development company to like. For | 01:36:48 | |
instance, the Macy's building will be another Woodbury development company. | 01:36:53 | |
But it's different than the land. | 01:36:58 | |
Kind of where like the fitness center is going to be or some of the other retail and so. | 01:37:01 | |
Do we have to have a board member allocated to the Macy's building because they're now 20% of the land area or something? And a | 01:37:04 | |
board member, I don't know, just added kind of complication stuff which I'm sure we can resolve. I just wanted to bring up that. | 01:37:10 | |
We were just trying to keep it simple because we knew how many moving parts there were going to be and we knew this was going to | 01:37:16 | |
be. | 01:37:19 | |
Anytime like a large commercial user comes in, the first thing they'll do is review all the governing documents, review all the | 01:37:21 | |
encumbrances and. | 01:37:25 | |
They're going to want to have a physician on everyone of those boards and have the ability to kind of direct their own destiny and | 01:37:28 | |
so. | 01:37:31 | |
Anyway, I wasn't trying to make more complicated. Well, it doesn't sound like. It doesn't sound like. | 01:37:34 | |
The issues we've got are not that great and as long as people want to work hard on it between now and March 7th, we should be able | 01:37:42 | |
to resolve them and get something to the council that makes sense to us and we can. | 01:37:47 | |
Your confidence. | 01:37:54 | |
That's an attorney comment. | 01:38:00 | |
So Mayor, one last thing I wanted to highlight and this is for our policy conversation that will come after consideration of this | 01:38:03 | |
application. This is a pretty labor intensive for staff and outside counsel and our city attorney, so many cities have imposed a | 01:38:11 | |
fee for applicants applications for Pids and I would. | 01:38:20 | |
I think that's would be something that council should consider as part of a future policy. | 01:38:29 | |
Yeah, it was. My understanding is it's presented when I looked at other policies that it was the applicant that cover, you know. | 01:38:36 | |
Had the burden of those costs, but yeah, you would think that would be part of something we'd want to. | 01:38:43 | |
OK. Thanks everybody. We are. Is there anything else, anything else from council? | 01:38:49 | |
Then I think what we're going to do is move across the hall. | 01:38:56 | |
Recess for a few minutes as we move across the hall, and once we're convened over there, we'll take up the issue on Spring Lane. | 01:39:02 | |
Is that right? All right, thanks everybody. | 01:39:09 | |
That. | 01:39:14 |

David Billings is the one who made the application, but we've both been trying to help. | 00:00:00 | |
Korean Presbyterian Church with their efforts to relocate. | 00:00:05 | |
I'm not going to rehearse. What staff? | 00:00:09 | |
The Planning Commission have gone through you. | 00:00:12 | |
Read all of that and you're familiar with it. I did want to tell you a bit about the church and the struggles that they face, or | 00:00:15 | |
any church does, in light of the way the code's written. | 00:00:20 | |
The Korean Presbyterian Church started in 1980. They're well established. They've been in the Valley for a long time, and growth | 00:00:25 | |
and demographics has required them to move. And so they've listed and sold their property in West Valley City, which they will | 00:00:31 | |
have to exit. | 00:00:37 | |
Relatively quickly. So they're looking for new space and we've looked. | 00:00:43 | |
In your community extensively because of the membership that lives in this area and. | 00:00:49 | |
We actually have. | 00:00:57 | |
The property is described by Miss March under contract. | 00:00:59 | |
And in our due diligence period, which is 90 days typical in a contract, we have to resolve a variety of issues which includes the | 00:01:03 | |
zoning. | 00:01:08 | |
One of the difficulties with the P zone or the way that the city code is set up, is that to do a rezone. | 00:01:14 | |
You can't. | 00:01:22 | |
A property tied up long enough. | 00:01:24 | |
From a seller. | 00:01:27 | |
To go through the rezone process, and if you could and did and rezone it to AP, it damages the value of the property subsequently | 00:01:28 | |
because it reduces the options of what the property can be used for. | 00:01:36 | |
And that would then require. | 00:01:43 | |
Coming back and trying to rezone it to make it back into AC2 or a commercial property to expand its uses. | 00:01:45 | |
And So what we're seeking to do is. | 00:01:52 | |
Manages his staff has already indicated the Planning Commission is supported include the church in as a as a use within the C2. If | 00:01:56 | |
you look at codes in many of the other cities in the state, that's how it's set up so that churches can be in a variety of | 00:02:03 | |
locations. | 00:02:09 | |
We're anxious. | 00:02:19 | |
Do this as quickly as we can because of the purchase agreement. I know that's not your problem or your consideration and when the | 00:02:22 | |
modification of the code, but I think that what we're asking is similar to what's happened in most other cities and they can make | 00:02:30 | |
it work. And so we would encourage you to allow the churches to be included in in the C2 zone. | 00:02:38 | |
And as I said, you've looked at the report, so I'm not going to rehearse it. Can I answer any specific questions for you? | 00:02:46 | |
Well, my sense is that the issue we're going to wrestle with is the one that Councilmember Fotheringham brought up, and that is, | 00:02:56 | |
it has nothing to do with this church in particular if we text them in the zone that it's going to be open to. | 00:03:02 | |
All church. | 00:03:08 | |
And what are the down the road impacts of that decision? That's the something we'll be debating in. | 00:03:09 | |
Debating and you're welcome to stay and. | 00:03:15 | |
And listen to that discussion. Thank you. Are there any questions I can answer or any issues that have not been addressed for you? | 00:03:18 | |
Can I just ask and you might not know the answer to this? You said that many other cities have allowed this use in their | 00:03:26 | |
commercial zones. Do you know how they have resolved this 600 foot and 300 foot issue? | 00:03:32 | |
Frequently they do it as a conditional use rather than as an allowed use, and sorry I didn't write them all down and bring it. | 00:03:38 | |
I I actually chaired the Sandy City Planning Commission for 10 years and so the way we did it was we looked at it as a conditional | 00:03:48 | |
use. | 00:03:52 | |
And and we would we. | 00:03:56 | |
600 feet is really not that great a distance. If you look at a parking lot, it's frequently deeper than 600 feet. So I I recognize | 00:03:58 | |
that's a question, but it doesn't, you know, it doesn't cast such a broad net that it affects. | 00:04:06 | |
All of the buildings generally hits the parking lots, so it's not as big an issue. | 00:04:15 | |
But I can't give you a better answer than that. That's fine. Thank you any other. | 00:04:21 | |
Thank you. Well, we may we may have some questions for you later and I'll stay. Thank you. All right. Thank you. | 00:04:25 | |
All right. With that, we will open up the public hearing on this proposed amendment. Public hearings now open, so anybody from the | 00:04:34 | |
public. | 00:04:38 | |
That wishes to address the Council. | 00:04:43 | |
Time is now yours. | 00:04:45 | |
We knew I'd probably say something. Chris Langston, 4950. | 00:05:00 | |
Holiday holiday resident here 4954 Fairview Dr. Obviously. | 00:05:04 | |
You know if the 600 feet encroaches into. | 00:05:10 | |
The major commercial areas that are anticipated tax bases or tax bases for the city would have a significant impact. | 00:05:14 | |
On, you know plans that have been in the works and properties that have you know been in existence for 60-70 years and | 00:05:22 | |
representing you know holiday Hills, this 600 feet would encroach into that property. And we have restaurants as you guys are all | 00:05:29 | |
well aware that would be impacted like this and so unless some kind of resolution could be. | 00:05:35 | |
You know, worked out where it doesn't impact it, then you know, we're not opposed to having churches around us, but we can't. | 00:05:43 | |
You know that would eliminate our ability to do any of the restaurants that we have currently have planned and have existed for | 00:05:50 | |
years in in that area including. | 00:05:55 | |
That center and also the one on the West side of the street, so we. | 00:06:01 | |
Probably go on record saying that that would be extremely extreme burden on us as a property owner. | 00:06:05 | |
Thank you. | 00:06:17 | |
Anybody else for the public hearing? | 00:06:23 | |
OK, with that then I'll close this public hearing and again encourage you to stick around for. | 00:06:29 | |
The discussion. | 00:06:36 | |
How many are here and interested in listening to this? | 00:06:40 | |
Work discussion on this. | 00:06:45 | |
Issue if you just raise your hand. | 00:06:48 | |
I just want to get a sense of whether we're going to, if we want to do that here, move across back across the hall. | 00:06:53 | |
We may overtax our small room across the hall, I think. So we'll probably just, I think maybe we'll just stay over here for at | 00:06:59 | |
least a portion of the work session. | 00:07:03 | |
I think it will be easier for everybody so you're comfortable and you can listen to that discussion. | 00:07:09 | |
OK, public hearing on. I'm sorry, we're on item number 7. This is a public hearing on proposed amendments to Title 13.76, point | 00:07:13 | |
730. | 00:07:18 | |
And other chapters on Home, Occupation, and Carrie. This is your item again. | 00:07:24 | |
You want to address this with the Council quickly. | 00:07:30 | |
Or not so quickly if you want, It's up to you. | 00:07:34 | |
Well, you've all read the staff report, so we can go pretty quickly through this. | 00:07:37 | |
This is moving home occupations, which are currently conditional use that is overseen by the Planning Commission. They review | 00:07:42 | |
those and apply conditions based on specific impacts tied to the the home occupation. This moves. | 00:07:50 | |
Home occupations from a conditional use to a permitted use with standards. | 00:07:58 | |
The changes in the code in the staff report. | 00:08:03 | |
Original text is all. | 00:08:07 | |
Listed in there, crossed out in red. So it's a total rewrite of the code. Everything that's in there is new. | 00:08:10 | |
Significant changes are changing the employee number limited to one employee. It doesn't matter if that employee is a resident of | 00:08:17 | |
the home or not. I. | 00:08:21 | |
The other key change is involving in accessory building. Currently our code doesn't allow accessory building use. | 00:08:28 | |
So this changes that to allow an exterior accessory. | 00:08:38 | |
Building and the other significant change is. | 00:08:43 | |
Allowing owner occupied or defining what owner occupied is. | 00:08:50 | |
Currently conditional uses are used that run with the land, so home occupation would be tied to the property itself. | 00:08:57 | |
The Planning Commission overviewed that as owner occupied. | 00:09:06 | |
Meaning somebody who would have to live on the property or a relative living on the property. | 00:09:10 | |
Middle ground between that would be. | 00:09:16 | |
Tying that to property ownership. | 00:09:20 | |
Allowing home occupation, tying to the property owner itself, so the staff report. | 00:09:23 | |
Staff does propose clarifying language. | 00:09:30 | |
To allow for that owner. | 00:09:35 | |
The owner use of a home occupation instead of it being tied to somebody who lives on the property. That would be a consideration | 00:09:37 | |
that can be discussed in the in the work session. All the other summary of changes are listed in there. The standards are pretty | 00:09:43 | |
clear. If you have any questions I can answer any of those. | 00:09:49 | |
Any questions of council right now? | 00:09:58 | |
I'm just glad to. | 00:10:01 | |
Get into that one question of the staff report relative to the code in regard to. | 00:10:03 | |
Who and what family means and all that stuff. Could need some clarification. Never will. | 00:10:08 | |
Iron that out in the work session. | 00:10:13 | |
Right. All right. Thank you, car. | 00:10:16 | |
OK, that with that, we'll open up the public hearing on this proposed amendment. Public hearing is now open. | 00:10:19 | |
Anybody wish to address the Council on proposed amendments to home occupations? | 00:10:25 | |
There being then we'll close this public hearing. Thank you and move on to item number 8. This is a public hearing regarding the | 00:10:34 | |
creation of public infrastructure Districts Pid's at Royal Holiday Hills. | 00:10:40 | |
So we will start with our legal counsel. Mr. Godfrey, you want to? | 00:10:46 | |
Lead out on this one. Thank you Mayor. The city's received an application from the owners of property within the Holiday Hills | 00:10:51 | |
Project, former Cottonwood Mall. | 00:10:55 | |
To create what's known as a Public Infrastructure district. | 00:11:00 | |
Your city recorder has certified that petition as being adequate, and so it's now before you for a public hearing. | 00:11:03 | |
And your consideration for the creation of the district. The creation of the district. | 00:11:10 | |
Would allow the levy or the issuance of bonds and essentially the levy of attacks within the district. | 00:11:14 | |
To build infrastructure supporting that project. | 00:11:20 | |
The way the district boundaries have been drawn in the proposal, it excludes any owner occupied properties. | 00:11:24 | |
So while the tax should be assessed on commercial activities and potentially apartment projects. | 00:11:30 | |
There would never be a tax assessed against a an owner occupied residential unit. | 00:11:35 | |
So with that, I'll submit it to the. | 00:11:41 | |
Any questions for Todd or before we open up the public hearing? | 00:11:44 | |
OK, the public hearing is now open on the creation of public infrastructure districts Pid's at Royal Holiday Hills. | 00:11:51 | |
Anybody here that wishes to address the? | 00:11:57 | |
OK, there being none, this public hearing is going to remain open. There are some. | 00:12:03 | |
Questions that we intend to address during the work session, specifically from our staff to the applicants. | 00:12:08 | |
I think it's important that. | 00:12:15 | |
Get some questions clarified over the next the course of the next week or two and give the public opportunity to comment that over | 00:12:17 | |
the comment on those over the course of the next two weeks. | 00:12:23 | |
With the intent of posting this to the March 7th agenda. | 00:12:28 | |
Is that the way? | 00:12:32 | |
That's kind of the timeline we're looking at. We'll see how it goes. So this public hearing is going to remain open. | 00:12:35 | |
OK. The consent agenda, we don't have any. | 00:12:40 | |
Items to approve on the consent agenda, so we'll move to the city manager, report Gina Chamness. | 00:12:45 | |
Just three quick items. | 00:12:53 | |
We kicked off our spring lane. | 00:12:57 | |
Park. At least that's what we're calling it right now. Reuse plan. | 00:13:01 | |
With. | 00:13:06 | |
Meeting of both staff and other steering committee members as well as members of our Concept of design team, and you'll hear more | 00:13:12 | |
about that plan later in your work session. We also kicked off our historic exhibit Experience project with two meetings last | 00:13:21 | |
week, one of leadership including a couple of council members. | 00:13:30 | |
And staff and community leaders. | 00:13:40 | |
And then one of the general public. | 00:13:42 | |
We're really excited for this work to begin and and are excited to see what the direction it goes. We also have available a a form | 00:13:46 | |
that members of the public can use to share their stories of holiday history. You should have received that in in an e-mail | 00:13:54 | |
earlier today and we'll be circulating that on social media as well. | 00:14:02 | |
And then finally, just wanted to alert the council that we have posted the finance Director position and have received a number of | 00:14:11 | |
applicants for that position. | 00:14:16 | |
First round of interviews will be next week with and my intention is to make an offer hopefully by the end of the month. | 00:14:22 | |
Any questions for? | 00:14:32 | |
OK. Thank you. | 00:14:35 | |
Matt. | 00:14:38 | |
You want to start on council reports. | 00:14:40 | |
If I can get my microphone on, I will do that. Just a couple of things. I was able to attend one of the. | 00:14:42 | |
Meetings regarding the historical experience and it was a really exciting. | 00:14:49 | |
Opportunity. It was great to sort of. | 00:14:55 | |
People there and their interest in holiday and their interest in telling kind of the holiday story. | 00:14:58 | |
I also wanted to report on him. | 00:15:05 | |
Meeting we had the mayor and Holly and I. | 00:15:07 | |
Up at the Capitol this week, I was there on behalf of our Happy Healthy Holiday coalition. It was a anti addiction. | 00:15:11 | |
Meet lobbying effort on behalf. | 00:15:21 | |
A number of groups and we were able to meet with Representative Galen Benyon, who represents part of holiday. | 00:15:25 | |
Wanted to thank her for her time and we had a really productive discussion with her, I thought. | 00:15:34 | |
And then finally just wanted to. | 00:15:39 | |
Jared and some of our city staff, we have kind of. | 00:15:41 | |
One of those great storm water issues in my district that he's working with some residents on and he's been really, really great | 00:15:45 | |
about keeping them in the loop on what's going on and trying to address their problems. So wanted to recognize and thank him for | 00:15:49 | |
that. | 00:15:54 | |
Thank you. | 00:16:00 | |
Just one item this morning I was at UFA for benefits and Compensation committee. | 00:16:02 | |
Maybe it's just time to start throwing out a little warning out there that we might. | 00:16:09 | |
There might be a little heavier Ding this year than last year. Some of you might remember that. | 00:16:14 | |
The budget thing last year from UFA was pretty. | 00:16:19 | |
Probably won't be as late this year, but we'll see. When we talked about benefits in comp, we haven't done. | 00:16:24 | |
Any further than that as a board. | 00:16:29 | |
Beware. | 00:16:34 | |
Or be advised, beware is too strong a word. Don't mean to scare anybody. Be advised. | 00:16:36 | |
Better word. That's all I have. | 00:16:41 | |
Thank you. Just one. | 00:16:47 | |
Some of you may know that Morningside Elementary, that's in my district. | 00:16:50 | |
Because of the district. Because of. | 00:16:55 | |
At that school have a lot of parents who come and drop their kids off in the morning and pick them up and so. | 00:16:59 | |
Sort of the. | 00:17:06 | |
The latest iteration of. | 00:17:09 | |
Parking problems. | 00:17:11 | |
Traffic problems. | 00:17:14 | |
I appreciate both Chief Oil and Jared Bunch. | 00:17:16 | |
They're working on this. We we have had requests from parents. | 00:17:21 | |
Living on. | 00:17:26 | |
South side of the School for everything. | 00:17:27 | |
Lots of sidewalks to crossing guards to new crosswalks. And so we're sort of. | 00:17:31 | |
Going through these all of you know that holiday doesn't have a lot of sidewalks. | 00:17:38 | |
And we are actually putting in sidewalks along 27th East, a three-year project and that's. | 00:17:44 | |
Going to be great for school kids walking. | 00:17:51 | |
There's always a little bit more that are. | 00:17:54 | |
Of us. So we'll see. We'll see what happens with that. | 00:17:57 | |
So I sat on the board of Wasatch Front Waste and Recycling and a few weeks ago in Mill Creek, one of their trucks, one of their | 00:18:05 | |
recycled trucks. | 00:18:11 | |
Caught on fire and thankfully the driver was able to leave and. | 00:18:17 | |
UFA came and took care of things, was able to move the truck to another location, resolve everything fully. | 00:18:26 | |
Currently they believe it was because non recyclable materials were put in recycling. They their best guess at this time is that | 00:18:34 | |
batteries were put in and. | 00:18:40 | |
And sparked things. So this is just kind of a PSA to be careful about what you put in your garbage and your recycling. It caused | 00:18:47 | |
over $100,000 worth of damage to the truck. They're also in addition to the immediate costs. | 00:18:53 | |
One of the still lingering effects of COVID is garbage trucks are incredibly backordered right now. | 00:19:01 | |
So even if they had the money to replace this, getting the parts is really difficult so. | 00:19:06 | |
That's just a PSA for everybody. And then yeah, that's it. | 00:19:15 | |
Gosh, I think I communicated earlier that one of the issues being raised at legislature right now is this issue with gravel pits | 00:19:22 | |
and we've weighed in with. | 00:19:26 | |
Local representatives about our opposition that most mostly it's usurping. | 00:19:31 | |
Usurping may be an understatement in local control. | 00:19:35 | |
And so we will be tracking both those bills pretty closely to see if they're going to. | 00:19:38 | |
Make it to a vote. | 00:19:46 | |
Anyway, that's been a concern. | 00:19:48 | |
Amongst a lot of the mayors around the county. | 00:19:50 | |
I do want to thank John for. | 00:19:53 | |
You know, we've had this issue with the Britton home. I got your e-mail on that. It looks like that home is probably going to be | 00:19:57 | |
demoed. | 00:20:00 | |
It that home is demoed, it's a very, I just want to acknowledge that. | 00:20:04 | |
We acknowledge that that's an emotional issue for a lot of people. | 00:20:10 | |
And it's very difficult issue to balance. | 00:20:14 | |
Desire of a community to maintain a what they perceive to be a historical structure and also protecting people's private property | 00:20:18 | |
rights is. | 00:20:23 | |
Very. It's a difficult issue and. | 00:20:28 | |
And I have to say, I don't. I didn't get into the weeds on this, but I think that the owner of that did try. | 00:20:31 | |
To work with members of the Commission to see if there was a path forward and eventually he just. | 00:20:38 | |
He just couldn't get there and had to get to the. | 00:20:45 | |
Because of other issues, I think it became a nuisance in the community where. | 00:20:48 | |
They couldn't come to an agreement where it could be saved so but I appreciate you engaging with them and I know they appreciated | 00:20:53 | |
the fact that we were empathetic to the situation and did all we could to try to. | 00:20:59 | |
Try to reach a solution that would have saved the home, but it just it wasn't to be so anyway. | 00:21:07 | |
John, thanks for you and your staff for your engagement on that issue. | 00:21:12 | |
Just as an FYI or Interfaith council, Which? | 00:21:17 | |
Meets quarterly. We've got a meeting next week, but Monday. They've started monthly to meet and discuss certain topics. We'll be | 00:21:22 | |
meeting Monday night here at 7:00 PM for anybody that would like to attend. | 00:21:27 | |
We'd welcome. | 00:21:34 | |
And that is all that I have right now I think. | 00:21:36 | |
You ready for a ready? | 00:21:41 | |
Mr. | 00:21:43 | |
I move, we recess City Council and reconvene and work. | 00:21:45 | |
2nd. | 00:21:48 | |
OK, we have a motion to second all in favor, say aye, aye. | 00:21:49 | |
We are now magically in work session. | 00:21:54 | |
So typically we would move back across the hall and start working over there. But beings that there are a lot of people here to | 00:21:59 | |
list, do a discussion, I don't think we can accommodate it across the hall. | 00:22:04 | |
My suggestion would be that we handle two of the items that were we take the agenda out of order, we handle two of the items that | 00:22:09 | |
were public hearings, moderate income housing and then the the amendment to the C2 zone here. And then if we want to stay, I guess | 00:22:14 | |
we can all let staff start thinking about whether they just want to stay here, if they want to move across the hall after that, | 00:22:20 | |
so. | 00:22:25 | |
I don't think we need a motion on that. I don't think there's a lot to cover under the moderate income housing. | 00:22:32 | |
Issue item number. | 00:22:38 | |
Five on the agenda. | 00:22:42 | |
But there were a few questions I think from council that you had for Ann. So and you want to come back up and and we'll get to a | 00:22:44 | |
point where the council is comfortable and then we'll move on. | 00:22:49 | |
All right. We'll start if you don't mind. My first question had to do with. | 00:22:57 | |
On page one on the analysis section is the bottom of that page. The last sentence there talks about becoming eligible, so I just | 00:23:02 | |
wanted to go back and review. | 00:23:07 | |
Is this eligible? | 00:23:13 | |
This funding that's being talked about when we're in compliance. | 00:23:16 | |
Is this remind me? Is this a new part of? | 00:23:21 | |
Or is this an existing pot of funding that we've been eligible for but now is at risk? | 00:23:25 | |
No, it's a part of funding that's been there. It's the transportation funding. We just. | 00:23:31 | |
Didn't report on the five strategies that you need to report on and to become eligible to apply for those transportation monies. | 00:23:38 | |
OK, so an existing pot of funding we've typically had access to, which now has more constraints. | 00:23:45 | |
As a result of this legislation, OK, it's the stick. It's the stick. I just didn't remember if it was. | 00:23:53 | |
If the carrot part was a new part of funding, so it's putting at risk current funding, OK, got it. | 00:23:59 | |
So being. | 00:24:06 | |
Meeting those requirements means eligible means where we can receive our share or it is eligible mean we have a shot at funding. | 00:24:08 | |
It means we have a shot. So even if we're in compliance, it doesn't necessarily guarantee that we get funding, it just puts us. | 00:24:17 | |
Higher in the queue, yeah, we can apply for it, we can apply for it, but we still have to beg even after we have qualified. | 00:24:27 | |
So I guess the last point would be. | 00:24:38 | |
Because I saw some comments in the staff report, I think regarding the Planning Commission, there is some concern that we were | 00:24:43 | |
that we might be overcooking it and and so I just wanted to back up and and how I view this as. | 00:24:50 | |
This is a multi year campaign by the legislature to. | 00:24:58 | |
Gradually make this topic a little more onerous each year on the municipalities. | 00:25:04 | |
And so it's this, sort of. | 00:25:10 | |
Slippery slope that year by year gets steeper and steeper and more slippery and more slippery. | 00:25:12 | |
And and so our it seems our strategy should always be to be each year barely compliant because if you. | 00:25:17 | |
Are over compliant or you you put in some extra credit. It's not going to be to your advantage in the next year because you you | 00:25:28 | |
can't carry that over. | 00:25:33 | |
Is that a fair statement? | 00:25:37 | |
Once you've counted something, you can't keep counting it the next year you've got. | 00:25:40 | |
Add more right and so. So I just wanted to make sure and I'll just have to rely on on your expertise and staff. | 00:25:44 | |
That that if my presumption is correct that we're that we're not overcooking it that we're not showing off because we won't get | 00:25:53 | |
any extra credit for any over compliance that we want to slide in right on the nose so that any. | 00:26:00 | |
Additional compliance can. | 00:26:08 | |
Saved for what's coming. | 00:26:10 | |
In future years. So that's my only point is this. I presume that's the case, but I wanted to make sure that we're not overcooking | 00:26:12 | |
it because it's not to our advantage, because I remember our objective here with this thing, even though we all share the goal of. | 00:26:19 | |
Finding affordable housing. | 00:26:27 | |
And having portions of affordable housing in the community which we live. | 00:26:30 | |
Yeah. I share that goal with the legislature, but our goal with this is just to be compliant. | 00:26:34 | |
Actually part of the statute includes ongoing strategies and ongoing tasks. So if we, as you noticed on the staff report and on | 00:26:41 | |
the task, you'll see the frequency of the quarterly, annually, biannually type of notation on each task so that we can report on | 00:26:51 | |
them. That's the only way we can continue to report on them and stay in compliance is by adding those ongoing. | 00:27:00 | |
Words like frequencies. | 00:27:11 | |
But your your opinion is that we've we're just we're only adding enough. | 00:27:14 | |
We're not overcooking it, right? Great. | 00:27:18 | |
That's all I had. Yeah, we had that. We kind of had that discussion. When I read through the staff reports, like we'd identified 6 | 00:27:23 | |
items and then we identified. | 00:27:27 | |
Three additional to add to it and to your. | 00:27:31 | |
It's like. | 00:27:35 | |
Should we just keep some of those in reserve? So, but when when I was talking to Ann about she said no, we can add. | 00:27:36 | |
We're not a lot of them we can't accomplish anyway, but they're on our list and we can continue to report on them as long as we're | 00:27:43 | |
working on them, right. They they don't necessarily have to be accomplished right. And so we may not what we have now may may | 00:27:49 | |
suffice for the next couple of years depending on how we. | 00:27:55 | |
Without adding anything. | 00:28:02 | |
So that was my question. Is it, it seemed strategic to identify areas where we could create ongoing goals for a longer period of | 00:28:03 | |
time, so we didn't have to come up with new goals. Is that part of the way we're approaching this is to look specifically for | 00:28:09 | |
things? | 00:28:14 | |
We can will take a long time to accomplish so that we don't have to every year. | 00:28:20 | |
Come up with something. Is that is that accurate? Yes. OK. | 00:28:25 | |
Anything else for you? And I also wanted to clarify, Drew, it's actually two properties that we have here that are. | 00:28:32 | |
We're looking to preserve. | 00:28:39 | |
OK. Thanks. | 00:28:43 | |
I just want to make a brief. | 00:28:45 | |
And I wish Mr. Hilton was still here because I think he was referring to the missing middle and that ongoing discussion. | 00:28:48 | |
And this as it relates to this particular issue which is bringing affordable housing to our communities and the solution to that | 00:28:54 | |
and the inferred solution to that is being. | 00:29:00 | |
Increase your density, which will increase inventory, which will lower the prices. | 00:29:06 | |
And what he was referring to in his next door post I believe is. | 00:29:12 | |
That Holton Park has added. | 00:29:17 | |
Smaller lots but. | 00:29:20 | |
Homes are for sale for in excess of $1,000,000, so. | 00:29:22 | |
In holiday, that doesn't seem to. | 00:29:27 | |
A formula for success in terms of bringing affordable housing. It's a it's A and I say that because I want to. | 00:29:30 | |
Empathize with the state that it's a problem, but it's a very difficult problem to solve in holiday just by increasing density. | 00:29:37 | |
Thanks, Ann. Appreciate it. | 00:29:46 | |
OK. We're going to move on now to item number six, which is this proposed amendment to Title 13, which and I have to, I'm going to | 00:29:48 | |
admit that I thought this was kind of a no brainer text amendment until Paul brought this up in the work session regarding this | 00:29:54 | |
600 foot. | 00:30:00 | |
I had not thought about that. | 00:30:06 | |
And I don't think it's an issue of a single application, although in this case it may be it's the ongoing issue of. | 00:30:08 | |
If we allow this use to be added to the C2 zone now. | 00:30:19 | |
If somebody comes in and it's a permitted use. | 00:30:24 | |
All of a sudden you have placed a ring around that particular location in terms of what can go there and that could be that. | 00:30:28 | |
I think is maybe the essence of your. | 00:30:37 | |
What are the? | 00:30:41 | |
Points from which the 600 or 300 feet are measured. | 00:30:43 | |
So for. | 00:30:47 | |
A Tavern license, essentially a bar. It's 600 feet and I don't think there's a straight line measurement for bars in the state | 00:30:50 | |
code. I'll have to check on that. But for a beer license, the proximity restrictions, like a a restaurant beer license or even a | 00:30:56 | |
restaurant full service license, the proximity restrictions are 300 feet and you measure from the door of the alcohol service | 00:31:02 | |
facility. | 00:31:08 | |
Along a normal pedestrian route to the property boundary. | 00:31:15 | |
Of the community location. | 00:31:19 | |
Then there's a straight line measurement that is 200. | 00:31:22 | |
That goes from the door of the serving establishment in a straight line to the property boundary. | 00:31:25 | |
Community location. So those would be the restrictions you would have in this case. | 00:31:31 | |
So the property line in this case, if they're, they're not actually the property owner, It'd be the property line of. | 00:31:36 | |
The I don't know. I don't know what the extension of that center looks like. I don't know if this parcel is part of the broader | 00:31:42 | |
center. If it's a separate tax parcel, I'm not sure how that looks. | 00:31:48 | |
That would be something we'd need to look. | 00:31:55 | |
Right. Because then does it include, yeah, the parking lot? | 00:31:57 | |
Of the one thing I didn't know until today was that we're talking about, we actually are talking about Creekside. | 00:32:00 | |
Right. And so, yeah, does that. | 00:32:07 | |
Just this, the front of the building, or does it include? | 00:32:10 | |
Parking lot. | 00:32:13 | |
Parcel and even and regardless. | 00:32:15 | |
That's going to go well. | 00:32:19 | |
Holiday. | 00:32:21 | |
And so. | 00:32:22 | |
Yeah, I mean, if you had existing church, there's already, there's already elbow room there, but. | 00:32:25 | |
But for anybody in the future, if the Church is there first. | 00:32:33 | |
Then it it. | 00:32:38 | |
They're the grandfathered 1 essentially. And so then anybody around there and would that even constitute of course, you know, of | 00:32:40 | |
course if they're. | 00:32:44 | |
Does that would that end up? | 00:32:49 | |
Even being equivalent of a taking from the surrounding land owners if suddenly their. | 00:32:51 | |
Ability. | 00:32:59 | |
Lease to a bar or a restaurant that inhibits their ability to. | 00:33:01 | |
It cuts off all of their options, yeah. I think your insulation from a legal takings claim is pretty good. | 00:33:09 | |
In this area, but what I think you want your staff to look at. | 00:33:16 | |
The measurement points and how that might affect what we see going on already on holiday hills, what their land use is, it's | 00:33:20 | |
established. | 00:33:24 | |
In certain parts of it and how then it might affect the other, the other blocks that remain for development, you know where we | 00:33:28 | |
know where their restaurant pads are are sort of. | 00:33:33 | |
I guess slated to go. | 00:33:39 | |
And my suspicion is. | 00:33:41 | |
You're outside the proximity restrictions, certainly for a restaurant license. | 00:33:44 | |
I don't know about a Tavern. | 00:33:49 | |
And I don't know whether there's any plans for a Tavern anywhere on that property. That's something to look at the the. | 00:33:53 | |
Brew pub that's been. | 00:34:00 | |
I don't know. | 00:34:04 | |
That looks like on the proximity restrictions without already having an approval it may not be an issue. | 00:34:06 | |
At this point. | 00:34:12 | |
But those are those are the things I think you want your staff to look at. | 00:34:14 | |
Yeah, when it comes to other properties besides the holiday hills, is there is it worth looking at rather than making it? | 00:34:17 | |
Permitted use, making it a conditional use option. So. | 00:34:25 | |
Because is that, I mean is that does that do anything I don't think, I don't think it buys you anything in terms of the alcohol | 00:34:30 | |
licensing issue. | 00:34:34 | |
