But 50 years? | 00:00:01 | |
Up on the hill, right? | 00:00:03 | |
Is that is that 50th session? | 00:00:06 | |
Combine or just. | 00:00:10 | |
Just doing the job you're doing now. It was 50 years as being a lobbyist. | 00:00:13 | |
My first session in 1975, I was a student at the. | 00:00:19 | |
Utah, it was in government. | 00:00:25 | |
And we had this crazy idea to put a student on the State Board of Regents. | 00:00:27 | |
And so, a student from Utah State, my exhibit and I had this. | 00:00:31 | |
Plan that we could do this. | 00:00:36 | |
And we got a sponsor. | 00:00:38 | |
I was. I was dating someone in the governor's office and that tells you how old. | 00:00:41 | |
And the staff there, who I knew very well because I was dating one of the assistants. | 00:00:48 | |
Said you can't get a pass. The president will never let you pass. | 00:00:53 | |
And lo and behold, we met real. | 00:00:57 | |
And so, which I thought was pretty cool. | 00:00:59 | |
And then that fall, Ted Wilson may rest in peace, was elected. | 00:01:03 | |
As mayor and Jessica Gross was elected as the city commissioner in Salt Lake and. | 00:01:09 | |
And I helped Jessica Ross's country. | 00:01:13 | |
I'm still a student and just hired me to be an assistant in his office. | 00:01:16 | |
And so as they were sitting around and that that, you know because I started in November, as they were sitting around in January, | 00:01:20 | |
they said. | 00:01:23 | |
But you've got experience of the legislature. You passed that bill last year. | 00:01:27 | |
So why don't you do it or something? | 00:01:31 | |
So I started doing my regular work and then doing a little bit of legislative work for Salt Lake in 1976. | 00:01:33 | |
That I stayed there until the 85. | 00:01:39 | |
Working with Salt Lake and then in 85 I went to the League of Cities and it was up to League of Cities from 85 until. | 00:01:42 | |
October of 2002. | 00:01:50 | |
And then the 20/20/03 session was the first one. | 00:01:52 | |
That I was doing cash. | 00:01:57 | |
50 years. | 00:02:00 | |
Oh yeah. | 00:02:01 | |
You know, 88 governors. | 00:02:09 | |
16. | 00:02:13 | |
16 speakers, 13 Senate presidents and 739 legislators later. | 00:02:15 | |
You're counting all that. | 00:02:21 | |
Doesn't work. | 00:02:25 | |
Very random. | 00:02:28 | |
Well, congratulations. | 00:02:33 | |
Thanks. And I guess, I guess I'm like one of those people on the tree community of the arts community where you serve here to | 00:02:36 | |
replace. | 00:02:41 | |
Right. | 00:02:50 | |
Thanks for having us. | 00:02:53 | |
Well, fabulous what we're looking forward to the, pardon me, the legislative update. | 00:02:55 | |
So what we'll do is. | 00:03:01 | |
Is, you know, we'll go through. | 00:03:04 | |
Oh yeah. Yeah, very much. | 00:03:11 | |
As we get started, we've put together a little bit of a presentation. | 00:03:15 | |
And first, let me just say how thrilled actually I heard. | 00:03:18 | |
You know, mayor's been great. We have, you know, we've not worked extensively with members of the City Council. | 00:03:24 | |
You know, but Mayor Sally's been great. Gina and Holly attractive to work with. | 00:03:30 | |
You know, I've known maps since almost college days. | 00:03:35 | |
And and I've known Stephanie for a lot of years too. So it's it's it's a great relationship and we hope we're doing our job for | 00:03:39 | |
you. So thank you very much. | 00:03:43 | |
But anyway, we've narrowed it down to just a number of bills I just want to talk about. | 00:03:48 | |
The first one we talked about this at our initial meeting, House Bill 12 was the RDA. | 00:03:54 | |
And this is, this is, this is totally impactful for holiday. | 00:04:01 | |
Because it deals with. | 00:04:05 | |
When funds? | 00:04:08 | |
You know when a project area ends. | 00:04:10 | |
We now have five years. | 00:04:14 | |
To spend any of any of the money that is generated from that project area. | 00:04:16 | |
That impacts us because we were still trying to collect some enough affordable housing money to do the. | 00:04:20 | |
The units that we need to do based on our contract with Salt Lake County and what we want to do. | 00:04:27 | |
So affect the beginning May 1. | 00:04:32 | |
The clock is ticking for 60 months on using that money. | 00:04:36 | |
You know and so you know there was there was discussion during the session to change that to three years. That didn't happen. | 00:04:42 | |
You know, but you know, Holiday was one of the one of the agencies that was audited a few years ago. | 00:04:49 | |
And the money sitting there, because it takes us a little bit more time. | 00:04:55 | |
You know. | 00:05:00 | |
Land is a little more expensive. You know, we're an infill city. | 00:05:02 | |
It's difficult, but anyway, so we've got five years to do that. | 00:05:06 | |
And and. | 00:05:10 | |
So there's that's that. | 00:05:12 | |
House Bill 35 was the Metro Township bill. | 00:05:14 | |
And you know, this is the bill that automatically made currents and magnet. | 00:05:18 | |
And all the townships, cities or towns based on their. | 00:05:23 | |
And this was this was year two of the. | 00:05:27 | |
Of the legislative action that affected UPD. | 00:05:31 | |
So the bill passed as we hoped it would. The bill passed in the form that we hoped it would. | 00:05:36 | |
And talk to the Chief Coil before our discussion here. | 00:05:43 | |
I guess all the locals are signed for UPD too. | 00:05:48 | |
And I think that's. | 00:05:52 | |
You know, and it's hopefully it'll turn out better than we anticipated. | 00:05:55 | |
And I think that will be terrific. | 00:05:59 | |
And it will be truly a municipal. | 00:06:02 | |
Police agency. | 00:06:08 | |
You know, with a number of municipalities, but it's municipal agencies. | 00:06:10 | |
And it's not a it's not a hybrid. I think that would be a good thing. | 00:06:13 | |
What's the? Can you explain what the difference between an actual Township of the city is? | 00:06:17 | |
Well, the Township of. | 00:06:21 | |
The biggest, the biggest piece is there. I mean there were some, I think it's that clear delineation you have the testing ability | 00:06:25 | |
because they were given all these different pieces over time. | 00:06:28 | |
So like White City is a. | 00:06:33 | |
So one this is based on the population. | 00:06:38 | |
Another bill passed it Complicated. | 00:06:47 | |
Because of the islands. But yeah, so content. | 00:06:50 | |
Right there are townships. No, they're not there in town. They'll all need to be a corporate will be in town because of their | 00:06:53 | |
population. | 00:06:57 | |
I don't know what immigration canyons population is. | 00:07:02 | |
You know, it could be a town or it could be a city, but based on your population, you're going to be a town or a city. There is no | 00:07:06 | |
more there. What taxing authority does the city have as opposed to a town? Do they cannot oppose a property tax? | 00:07:13 | |
No. A city can. A Township couldn't. A town can't. Yeah. | 00:07:22 | |
Because there are more towns in the state of Utah than those cities. | 00:07:30 | |
Think about that. And really the difference is the population threshold, whether it's. | 00:07:34 | |
I think it may be there are no more. | 00:07:42 | |
You can decide where to do, how to raise your property tax, I think. I think that's what it is. It's entirely more self governance | 00:07:49 | |
on the finance side. | 00:07:55 | |
An attack. | 00:08:01 | |
So why do you have the tail? Why even do you have a tail? It's just the population. Okay, they have all the. | 00:08:04 | |
Name but the new city towns in Salt Lake County that workout shift. | 00:08:13 | |
Just property tax authority, is that right? Well, that's a good question. I thought there was a three-year. | 00:08:20 | |
Trigger because they could. The sales tax has already been. Has already been. | 00:08:27 | |
Levied in those, not geographic areas. So you can't give them another sales tax, Sales tax authority only if you want to put a | 00:08:33 | |
build a hockey arena in Salt Lake City. | 00:08:37 | |
But I think it's a three-year transition. | 00:08:44 | |
Triggers were for the option. | 00:08:51 | |
Yeah, silly. | 00:08:55 | |
Continuing to exist as I understand it. | 00:09:00 | |
I don't know what the solution of that if it comes with. | 00:09:04 | |
I think that's. | 00:09:08 | |
So this is interesting. There's a general that general. What are they? What they call that the? | 00:09:10 | |
The Big Piece. | 00:09:16 | |
So the sales tax, yeah. | 00:09:18 | |
You know, that's already already been levied. So all the sales taxes I think have been levied. It could. | 00:09:21 | |
No, that's a good question. That's how that works. | 00:09:31 | |
Sorry. | 00:09:36 | |
But anyway, the next bill Hospital 84. | 00:09:44 | |
That I know. I know. Chief Weil is familiar with that school safety amendments, though. | 00:09:47 | |
And, you know, to make a long story, a very, very long story. | 00:09:53 | |
As concise as possible. | 00:09:58 | |
As of maybe what makes effect questions, the bill takes effect May 1st. | 00:10:02 | |
But none of the provisions will be hit by May 1st. | 00:10:06 | |
You know so that to me. | 00:10:10 | |
That's a real big problem. | 00:10:12 | |
I think if you're an attorney and something happens in a school after May 1st, can you remind us what that bill does? Yes, I'm | 00:10:14 | |
going to go through that. | 00:10:18 | |
The bill does a lot of things. | 00:10:22 | |
Every school, Every public. | 00:10:24 | |
And charter school. | 00:10:27 | |
Shall have either in. | 00:10:29 | |
A private security company. | 00:10:32 | |
Or an armed or an armed school guardian. | 00:10:34 | |
Well, school's in session. | 00:10:38 | |
And you sent me the answer to your question, but did the question you had before I thought Olympus. You have an SRO Olympus, | 00:10:42 | |
right? Olympus Junior. And you have one of the Olympus Junior, Junior and ******* Junior, but not anything at the elementary. | 00:10:48 | |
So you so right now, the High School and North Charters. | 00:10:56 | |
So right now in holiday. | 00:11:00 | |
You have the senior Olympus and the junior highs are covered. | 00:11:02 | |
Not an issue, except. | 00:11:08 | |
When that SRL leaves campus. | 00:11:11 | |
There needs to be a. | 00:11:14 | |
Whether it's an SRO or whether it's a school target yet, that's something that's new that we haven't had to do in the past. | 00:11:16 | |
So if the schools don't have Sros, it's not the city's responsibility for the school guard. | 00:11:23 | |
That's the school's response. | 00:11:30 | |
So there's not an extra cost to cities. | 00:11:33 | |
That extra cost is in these schools. | 00:11:36 | |
So that's so for the elementary school and the charter school that's on the school district now. | 00:11:39 | |
Chief Hoyle and his staff and his staff. | 00:11:46 | |
Can't help bet. | 00:11:49 | |
Who the Guardians are? | 00:11:50 | |
They can help train who to guard. How? The Guardians. | 00:11:52 | |
Deal with it. These are staff that are they are. They can't be teachers or the principal. | 00:11:55 | |
But they have to be, but they can be staffed. So you're looking at custodians, you're looking at bus drivers, you're looking at, | 00:12:00 | |
you're looking at school counselors, you're looking at. | 00:12:05 | |
So anybody that's staff that's not a teacher or. | 00:12:12 | |
There's nothing, there's nothing wrong with this picture. | 00:12:16 | |
No. OK. But anyway, you know, Chief Oil can help bet. | 00:12:19 | |
They can train, they'll work, he'll work with all the other, you know, with mass and all of the other municipal chiefs in the in | 00:12:26 | |
the county. | 00:12:30 | |
In order to do protocols and how everything seems to be responded to those sorts of things. So who makes the decision about | 00:12:35 | |
whether or not he gets to help that? The problem is that the school principal or the school district? | 00:12:40 | |
Provided training for these guardians as well. Yes, it's all in the statute, but one of the things we're working out is there's | 00:12:46 | |
conversation right now with Granite as well as just what happened on Police Department or this city served by Who's going to be | 00:12:50 | |
responsible for that? | 00:12:54 | |
It's. | 00:13:00 | |
As much as well meaning as the bill is as an administrative access. | 00:13:04 | |
Now saying all that, it's all well-intentioned and it will all workout in the long run. | 00:13:09 | |
You know in the Granite school district the one wrinkle is Granite is only school district has its own place. For example, you've | 00:13:14 | |
got Sros that get responsible for here West Valley. | 00:13:19 | |
All the West Valley schools are covered by the grant schools. | 00:13:24 | |
That, I thought, was on. | 00:13:27 | |
But you know, but anyway, it's going to be different in graph than it is in the other school districts. But all the city chiefs | 00:13:29 | |
will work together. | 00:13:33 | |
You know, and they'll do the vetting, they'll do things, training. | 00:13:38 | |
You know, but trying to find Guardians is going to be a problem. | 00:13:42 | |
And essentially you just can't find one because you have to have an armed security personnel there. | 00:13:46 | |
While the school is in session, so even if you have an SRO. | 00:13:53 | |
Chances are you're going to have to have a background. | 00:13:58 | |
You know, and I know, I know in some situations, if you have an active situation off campus and that SRO is the closest person to | 00:14:02 | |
respond, he or she typically would respond. | 00:14:06 | |
Now the management decision is do they? | 00:14:12 | |
Do they, you know, if there's a traffic accident on 2030 South side of the outside of Olympus boundaries? | 00:14:17 | |
And you have the SRO inside the building as he or she responded to traffic accident. | 00:14:24 | |
Is the first one, is the first one I'm. | 00:14:30 | |
That's a question that the chief Oil gets paid. | 00:14:32 | |
So that's the personnel issue. | 00:14:38 | |
On the school district side, they've got to have the person at the state responsible. All the school districts have to have | 00:14:40 | |
somebody responsible and they've got to have a second person, like a principal that's a security chief. So it really is an | 00:14:45 | |
administrative. | 00:14:49 | |
Well, the schools last. The schools pay for everything. | 00:14:58 | |
So they're going to have to raise taxes. | 00:15:02 | |
There for In all likelihood, yes. Well. | 00:15:04 | |
You're talking in granite school districts, hundreds of guardians for elementary schools. | 00:15:09 | |
Right. That's how they're trying to get around that cost. But who are these guardians? But they can't be a teacher or a principal | 00:15:15 | |
or I mean the administrator. They just can't be the principal or the teacher. And that takes some training too, right? They get 4 | 00:15:21 | |
hours of training every year, forgetful weapons, an additional 4 hours for everything else that you probably want to candidate. | 00:15:28 | |
And my understanding is there's no funding for law enforcement to provide the training. | 00:15:37 | |
So that's there must have been. | 00:15:42 | |
This during the session. Well this bill was going to pass and the first two or three drafts the county sheriff's was doing. | 00:15:47 | |
Would be doing all the protocols and all the training. | 00:15:58 | |
Even though all the schools are in cities. | 00:16:01 | |
So we've got to have to get that changed. | 00:16:03 | |
There are a lot of things that we've got changed. The school still has the state, USB still has 7070 ish million from last year. | 00:16:06 | |
Getting 100 million issue. | 00:16:15 | |
So money is going to be there. | 00:16:17 | |
The guardians. The guardians will get $500 on top of their regular salary, so I stopped an overwhelming cost. But the problem is | 00:16:19 | |
how do you train? | 00:16:24 | |
Someone who you don't know who that person is until you start betting. | 00:16:29 | |
With weapons and law enforcement. | 00:16:35 | |
And expect them to do that. It's going to be difficult, but any of the other things here is just this is going to be a year after | 00:16:38 | |
year. | 00:16:42 | |
Modification and evolution process and so I think. | 00:16:46 | |
Understanding where the pitfalls are, what problems are in every single year, how do we go back to make it work and give it a | 00:16:50 | |
better solution? | 00:16:53 | |
There are some things in private schools. There are some things that private schools have to do because there's a whole data go | 00:16:59 | |
over the whole bill because there's a lot of different components. Some of the things that the overall plan you have to have | 00:17:03 | |
certain plans, but the SRO requirements and some of these other things have. | 00:17:08 | |
You know, it's another little interesting caveat is public schools have to have a new bullying, cyber bullying and hazing policy, | 00:17:15 | |
which is terrific. | 00:17:19 | |
And it spells out the statute, what it's supposed to be, and the parents of the bullied student. | 00:17:23 | |
Have the right to know what happened. | 00:17:28 | |
To be into the student who did the bullying. | 00:17:30 | |
That's not in the private school sector, but it's in the public school section. | 00:17:32 | |
You know, that's a good thing. | 00:17:36 | |
You know if your child is being bullied, you want to know what's happening. | 00:17:38 | |
But anyway, so those things are going to be going to evolve. | 00:17:43 | |
Other things in the bill. | 00:17:47 | |
Every school will have to have cameras. | 00:17:49 | |
And they have to be able to be connected to the Police Department in times of an emergency. | 00:17:52 | |
So there are most schools have cameras now. | 00:18:00 | |
But right now they're not connected to the first responders. | 00:18:04 | |
That's got to happen. | 00:18:08 | |
Secondly, schools have been built in the past. | 00:18:10 | |
That have that have that have made it difficult for public safety personnel through used radios inside the schools. | 00:18:14 | |
And they were exempt from the public safety radio requirement. | 00:18:22 | |
Not anymore. | 00:18:28 | |
So all the new schools will have to be retrofit. Will it be fit to have the radio communication which is important? | 00:18:30 | |
Now all the older schools will have to be retrofitted to make sure they can. They can. | 00:18:39 | |
Get to the public safety radio level. | 00:18:43 | |
Which is also important to push responses. | 00:18:45 | |
There is in Florida after after the. | 00:18:49 | |
Heartland shooting. They passed Alyssa's law. | 00:18:54 | |
Which essentially is a panic button in every classroom. | 00:18:58 | |
That's included in this filter. | 00:19:04 | |
So all of these things. | 00:19:07 | |
Radios the cameras being connected, First responders. | 00:19:08 | |
The panic buttons all by May 1st. | 00:19:12 | |
So you know that that's not going to happen. | 00:19:16 | |
You know and I think that was a mistake using that made for respectively, but that's. | 00:19:20 | |
But we'll see what happens. | 00:19:26 | |
All of our. | 00:19:31 | |
But this will be a bill. I forget this will be, this will be an area where they'll be, we'll see legislation in the next two or | 00:19:35 | |
three years. | 00:19:38 | |
We will be modified. | 00:19:41 | |
Broad stroke person. | 00:19:44 | |
So. | 00:19:46 | |
House Bill 488, Transportation Fund Modifications. | 00:19:48 | |
Provides 1.4 million to holiday. | 00:19:52 | |
1.23 million excuse me. | 00:19:57 | |
Employee 1.23 million The holiday. | 00:20:00 | |
For highland drive between Vanwinkle and Overlay. | 00:20:04 | |
That's that's part of the the. | 00:20:07 | |
The quarter of 1/4. | 00:20:12 | |
Quarter of the fourth quarter. | 00:20:13 | |
Who was the 488 HP 48? | 00:20:15 | |
Well, doesn't matter. And then you know that Bill also does additional things. | 00:20:20 | |
It expands the uses of the shift. | 00:20:26 | |
Quarter to be used for transportation. Different math. | 00:20:28 | |
So there's a fifth quarter. | 00:20:33 | |
And I think the council, I think the County Council is, will want cities. | 00:20:36 | |
To adopt resolutions, to encourage them to pass, to enact the fifth quarter. | 00:20:40 | |
I think that's going to happen. | 00:20:46 | |
So, you know, that's a discussion that Mayor, you and the council have talked about. | 00:20:47 | |
You know that money will be used. Cities get cities, I think get 0.10 with that. I have to look back into that. That's been years | 00:20:52 | |
and years and years ago 10. | 00:20:57 | |
Transit gets. | 00:21:03 | |
Some some money can now be used for public safety. | 00:21:05 | |
You know, because and the thought there was additional public safety for the homecourt. | 00:21:08 | |
For homelessness. | 00:21:14 | |
In the county. | 00:21:16 | |
My guess is this might be the first year that that probably County Council probably will be more encouraged to pass it. | 00:21:18 | |
But they're going to, I'm sure they're going to want each council, as many councils as possible. | 00:21:26 | |
Sort of encourage the resolution to support passage of. | 00:21:31 | |
This quarter a couple of bills dealing with gravel pits. | 00:21:38 | |
Because I know a number of you were concerned about the gravel pit. | 00:21:44 | |
And I'm sorry, just kind of. | 00:21:48 | |
A Senate Bill 172 was. | 00:21:51 | |
Was initiated and it was protection area revisions and essentially that was, you know, to provide essentially an open door for new | 00:21:55 | |
gravel pants. The initial sponsor of the bill was told it was only going to be in rural Utah. | 00:22:02 | |
Well, but that's not what those who wanted the bill to do. | 00:22:11 | |
Had it drafted as and so when the bill came out and it was really. | 00:22:16 | |
A very controversial, very confrontational approach. | 00:22:23 | |
Between those who are providing materials for growing Utah and and municipal areas. | 00:22:26 | |
The sponsor said no thanks you guys. You guys told me that it was on rural Utah and it's not, so I'm not doing it. | 00:22:35 | |
It was picked up by another sponsor who Built didn't realize at the time all of the controversy and all the mistakes that were | 00:22:41 | |
made. So he said thanks, I'm done. | 00:22:45 | |
So that bill ended. | 00:22:49 | |
House Bill 50. | 00:22:51 | |
Critical infrastructure and mining. | 00:22:53 | |
The initial draft of that bill was as horrible as 172, but there were discussions on that and the bill passed. | 00:22:55 | |
Where the Division of Oil, Gas and Mining is to study critical infrastructure materials operating, including location, size. | 00:23:02 | |
Production levels and the extent the levels meet U dot standards of the materials. | 00:23:10 | |
They have to report to the Energy Natural Resources Committee. | 00:23:15 | |
In November of this year. So that would be the November interim committee meeting. So that says it just turned that whole idea | 00:23:19 | |
into a study. | 00:23:23 | |
I mean it's basically what they're trying to get down to is they want, we need more material. And so they're trying to say how | 00:23:28 | |
much material do we need, what is the cost, where should it come from, the quality, the quality. | 00:23:33 | |
Of the transportation. So the important thing about that is there's going to be individuals from the gravel industry, but there's | 00:23:38 | |
a lot of city and local government. | 00:23:42 | |
Planning organization. So it's going to be safe over from all of the. | 00:23:50 | |
So this is what should have done. This is what should have happened before. | 00:23:53 | |
You know and you know the will follow the process. | 00:23:58 | |
You know, I know we'll have, we'll have that discussion with Cam. | 00:24:02 | |
Cameron Hill and the board will leave board to find out who those municipalities are going to be. | 00:24:07 | |
You know, whether it's going to be somebody from waste front or mountain lands. | 00:24:12 | |
Would be a discussion. | 00:24:17 | |
You know, so I would prefer watch that, try that to come from Salt Lake County. | 00:24:19 | |
Or Davis. | 00:24:24 | |
But you know, because there's something in the water in Utah County, so you're not really quite sure. | 00:24:25 | |
But you know, I think we need to figure that out. | 00:24:30 | |
But they'll be, they'll be a study. | 00:24:33 | |
And in November of this year. | 00:24:35 | |
We'll see what, if anything, we'll see in the 20. | 00:24:38 | |
25 section. | 00:24:41 | |
So very quickly, I just want to run over a few housing bills. | 00:24:44 | |
The The name of the game this year was Instead of getting funding from the state, putting money up front, it was. | 00:24:49 | |
County and city dollars, right? So a lot of tax increment financing tools. So it's more tools. | 00:24:55 | |
Of how you can build an enhanced housing. | 00:25:02 | |
I'm going to run through some of them and some of them aren't necessarily directly related to holiday because they're they're more | 00:25:04 | |
focused towards new developments, Greenfield areas. But I want to bring up two reasons first. | 00:25:09 | |
They could change because as these tools are developing, these people evolve and change. And then the second reason is. | 00:25:15 | |
We come back to the legislature measure and say Haitian girl is helping you guys say what they will. All these have these new | 00:25:20 | |
tools you created weren't directly targeted towards legacy cities or cities that already built up. So I think just having a | 00:25:24 | |
general understanding of all the tools that created. | 00:25:28 | |
First one is HP 13 Infrastructure financing. | 00:25:33 | |
Person to bring down. Again, this started out as you know it's a deviation of HIDS. | 00:25:37 | |
And and then there were a lot of really bad ideas that were coming across what was finally landed on Not great, not terrible. And | 00:25:41 | |
that's typically where these bills end up. But it's a new tool that will allow for limited bonding authority by developers and | 00:25:47 | |
property owners. They do have limited taxing authorities to operations. | 00:25:53 | |
Bonds cannot be paid with property tax and all debts are born solely to the initial property owners and they can't be transferred | 00:25:59 | |
until you have final inspection and the bonds are paid off. So basically build it up and then you can sell the properties. | 00:26:04 | |
This this isn't going to impact anybody. | 00:26:10 | |
This is going to impact those areas in the fringe of growth and development. | 00:26:13 | |
Where there are 190,000. | 00:26:18 | |
Entitled entitled. | 00:26:21 | |
Lots out there. | 00:26:23 | |
And no way to get the infrastructure. | 00:26:25 | |
This will help that. | 00:26:27 | |
So if you're in. | 00:26:29 | |
Fairfield in Utah County. | 00:26:30 | |
You know you'll be impacted by. | 00:26:33 | |
You know, but I don't know anywhere in Salt Lake County. | 00:26:35 | |
So a couple other bells 8B4465 Housing Affordability Efficiency Representative White, one of the many bills that came up with | 00:26:41 | |
Commission Housing Affordability. | 00:26:46 | |
Couple of things it does. So the moderate, your moderate angle, moderate income housing plan, you're going to have to include the | 00:26:52 | |
numbers of units that were entitled. | 00:26:55 | |
But not yet permitted because sometimes the housing developers are throwing around these numbers. How many buildings are not being | 00:26:59 | |
built but cities are entitling? There's nothing permanent built so to give that additional data point. | 00:27:04 | |
And also allow funding RDA funding to be used for owner occupied units at 121% AMI. So you can go up a little bit higher on that | 00:27:10 | |
affordability level to create new housing, new housing units or renovate housing units. | 00:27:18 | |
You can also RDA housing funds can also be used outside of your city if you have an interlocal agreement is made. | 00:27:27 | |
And then another one, kind of similar to the RDA bill. | 00:27:35 | |
Audit Bill All housing funds moving forward have to be spent in six years. | 00:27:38 | |
So you can't six years? | 00:27:44 | |
From the date they start getting collected. | 00:27:47 | |
So, which means you're not, you know, so if you if you get money in year one. | 00:27:50 | |
That money has to be entitled. | 00:27:54 | |
Even though the RDA might be 20 years, yes, right, Yes, so. | 00:27:58 | |
You don't have to spin. | 00:28:03 | |
But you have to entitle it. | 00:28:06 | |
Or encumbered and they usually like you have to go back because the terminology is different some of these bills. | 00:28:08 | |
So if you plan right, you can have a plan and you're going to say this is my plan and this has been, but you have to plan for your | 00:28:13 | |
money on a rolling six year period. | 00:28:18 | |
You know, and there were a couple of studies. | 00:28:23 | |
That we're sitting on big piles of. | 00:28:27 | |
10s of millions. | 00:28:30 | |
40 millions of dollars. | 00:28:32 | |
And essentially. | 00:28:36 | |
They were just sitting on. | 00:28:37 | |
So that is where this is coming from. | 00:28:39 | |
City, Pennsylvania funds. | 00:28:42 | |
OK. HB 476 minus the land use regulations, another shop that's. | 00:28:44 | |
I think we're OK because Todd looked over this bill. There was it immensely. Items in the municipality can require for development | 00:28:52 | |
agreements, including height, density transfers, parking, setbacks and zone changes, but it restricts the city from acquiring an | 00:28:57 | |
agreement if the development meets the current zoning ordinances. | 00:29:01 | |
So that's just something that moving forward. | 00:29:06 | |
Keeping in mind. | 00:29:10 | |
They've always won. | 00:29:15 | |
Oh, so that was a lot of restrictions, Bill, that really would have limited a lot of initial bill, the initial bill. But in the | 00:29:17 | |
final version of it, it really just restricts I think overhead irrigation. I think that's right. And we were concerned about that | 00:29:23 | |
just with the possibility of scrambling development. | 00:29:29 | |
Look, as we're looking at a lot of open things, skilled space that would have been challenging. | 00:29:37 | |
But was great to work with. | 00:29:46 | |
You know, it passed the house just like that. | 00:29:50 | |
And then we had. We worked on it. | 00:29:54 | |
Another bill that we just want to bring up is housing funding. Again, again, not directly related this bill for legacy cities, but | 00:29:59 | |
I think it's going to be changing as we move forward. HP 572 straight state treasurer investment amendments and so this deals with | 00:30:05 | |
the public treasurer's investment fund. | 00:30:10 | |
And that big pot of money where you put excess funds continue to grow. | 00:30:17 | |
They're going to take a state portion of that, up to $300 million of state dollars, and then the banks can use these funds with | 00:30:21 | |
developers to develop affordable housing. So it's another basic pot of money for investing in housing. | 00:30:28 | |
Right now, it's only for new housing. | 00:30:35 | |
Not super helpful for holiday, but we've already started talking to representatives. | 00:30:37 | |
Waldrick, who is Director of housing in Governor Cox office and how do you start to be able to? Because this is a great. | 00:30:44 | |
For new cities and growing cities and what about the legacy cities? So we're going to talk about can we make a provision in there | 00:30:52 | |
that legacy cities can also tap into these funds. | 00:30:55 | |
You know to do that one of the issues is I don't know if this is a big this would be important. | 00:31:00 | |
But you know, for example, the street, Salt Lake City for example, there are a lot of rental housing in Salt Lake City. | 00:31:06 | |
And a lot of that housing symptoms become substantial. | 00:31:12 | |
And Salt Lake City School District just went through for us as the warm. | 00:31:17 | |
It has an alpha and closing elementary schools. | 00:31:21 | |
So if you've got. | 00:31:25 | |
Rental detached housing. | 00:31:26 | |
You know, 2-3 four bedroom houses, you know, they're not very big and they might have two bedrooms. | 00:31:30 | |
Can we how can we get those? | 00:31:37 | |
Hit those homes, picks them up. | 00:31:39 | |
But they'll buy them from the landlord. | 00:31:41 | |
Picks them up. Sell them to home phone buyers. | 00:31:44 | |
And start putting their families in those homes. | 00:31:48 | |
Well, the problem with that is when you buy that house. | 00:31:50 | |
You're not just buying the structure, you're buying the interest rate. | 00:31:54 | |
And so, so one of the thoughts for next year is we have more time. | 00:31:58 | |
Perhaps the RDA can buy the home. | 00:32:02 | |
And because we can write down the cost of it. | 00:32:06 | |
The RDA can buy the home. | 00:32:10 | |
By the revenue St. picks it up. | 00:32:11 | |
Eat some of that cost and then sell the. | 00:32:14 | |
And use this. | 00:32:17 | |
And so that's one of the things we're looking at next year that may be a children holiday. | 00:32:20 | |
Just quickly want to touch on SB168 housing affordability amendments about the statewide building Clipper module homes and module | 00:32:26 | |
buildings to be a new building technology and then it kind of goes through the processes of what that was, how that would look | 00:32:30 | |
like. | 00:32:34 | |
It also creates. Again this is. | 00:32:39 | |
I don't know if it would necessarily affect, it's called the hops in the acronym Home Ownership Promotion Zones. And basically it | 00:32:42 | |
allows you if you if it's an acre up to 6 acres. | 00:32:48 | |
You increase the zoning. I'm sorry, no under 10 acres if it's six units per acre if you up zone. | 00:32:53 | |
You can use the tax increment financing up to 60% to reinvest. | 00:33:02 | |
Now the goal is here to try to identify some of our zoning, but I don't know how much tactic you'll actually get from this tool. | 00:33:07 | |
But it is a it was pushed by a House leadership. | 00:33:12 | |
Law. | 00:33:19 | |
And. | 00:33:20 | |
The owner wants to put. | 00:33:23 | |
You know, and if you want that to happen, you can do a house. | 00:33:28 | |
And because you're up to zone, the neighbors won't mind at all neighbors. That's your problem. | 00:33:31 | |
But again. | 00:33:41 | |
Another one that there's a long bill, but I just want to mention one piece of it and this was SB-268 first time investment. | 00:33:46 | |
This is the Fizz. It's the first home investment zone that largely can be used in holiday because it's in a city, town, medium | 00:33:54 | |
density, mixed-use and you have extra territorial new development. But the piece of the bill that I want to highlight? | 00:34:01 | |
To do one of these, the county required they wanted something in there and they basically said if you want to do one of these. | 00:34:09 | |
You have to prohibit the creation if you're. | 00:34:16 | |
RDA retains cash and cash equivalent assets of more than 20% ongoing unencumbered annual revenue. | 00:34:20 | |
Because they're worried about those cash back, those, those cash balances of too much money sitting in your Rdas. | 00:34:26 | |
This won't affect you, but you don't probably won't be creating these physics. | 00:34:31 | |
But the concern here is that the county put it into this bill. | 00:34:36 | |
Is it going to go into other RDA and other CRA? | 00:34:39 | |
So again, they're saying if you want to create easy tax increment financing tools, you've got to have your cash. | 00:34:42 | |
So I bring that up just as these are the tools that are kind of coming online and then the pieces that are kind of entering | 00:34:51 | |
because now you've got HDR ZS, you've got Fizz, you've got Hawks, you've got. | 00:34:56 | |
I mean there was like, you know, there's like six of these were supposed to be the starter home in business over shares. | 00:35:02 | |
Not a good. | 00:35:08 | |
And I kept telling them that if you keep saying that, I'm going to find out, but AT. | 00:35:11 | |
And again, just. | 00:35:17 | |
Kind of an awareness of all of these new. | 00:35:22 | |
Coming online and trying to solve. | 00:35:27 | |
Questions. That was 24. | 00:35:31 | |
OK. Any questions? Great. If not. | 00:35:36 | |
Next Wednesday the 17th, let's set up management. | 00:35:39 | |
Makes for the first time during this interim, so we start already for next year. | 00:35:42 | |
They will set aside, they will announce the all the interim meeting dates. | 00:35:47 | |
For the rest of the calendar. | 00:35:53 | |
And what the schedule is going to be that will assign issue topics to each of the communities. So we'll know that next next | 00:35:56 | |
Wednesday and we'll share that with everybody, make sure you guys don't know and then as bills take effect on May 1. | 00:36:04 | |
That means on May 2. | 00:36:13 | |
Legislators can open up bill files, actually. | 00:36:15 | |
And probably on May 2, you'll see about 350 bill puzzle. | 00:36:18 | |
It begins again. | 00:36:25 | |
Quick question, you talked about the gravel pits, parties down an issue. | 00:36:28 | |
Going back to a year ago, there was a bill that everyone was so upset about. | 00:36:33 | |
Regarding roads around gravel pits, whatever happened with that, I know that there was a huge push to have. | 00:36:38 | |
The governor. | 00:36:45 | |
The sales tax. | 00:36:47 | |
It went into effect and that it would not be. | 00:36:52 | |
You know, and you know, that's a great question. I don't know. I don't know. I thought somebody was suing over it. | 00:36:56 | |
Yeah. And I'm not even sure, you know, now that we're into that almost a year now, I'm not even sure how that is infected sales | 00:37:05 | |
tax of local government. | 00:37:10 | |
That's the challenging part. We expect we would receive laughs, but it's not like it's nine items the only way, the only way, I | 00:37:16 | |
think you'll realize it. | 00:37:21 | |
Is if you have either the gravel pit or the business office of the company in your city where you are the. | 00:37:27 | |
Well, you're the. | 00:37:36 | |
With the. | 00:37:39 | |
Local option. | 00:37:42 | |
Where? Where you get the front of that money. If they have 50% of this point itself, that's the only way you're going to see it. | 00:37:43 | |
Because you'll still always get. | 00:37:50 | |
50% population distribution, that's not going to change, but what will change is where that point of cells. | 00:37:52 | |
And so that was our concern was that we bear the burden of the gravel pit to a large extent in Canyon Cove, the one that is | 00:37:59 | |
adjacent to us. | 00:38:04 | |
But it's not in our city. So I mean I think this is going to be one of my agencies. If you change it, what you get changes and | 00:38:10 | |
then looking at overall, right. So you can see the big changes in. | 00:38:15 | |
You know, the initial five or two would have been devastating. | 00:38:23 | |
Because they should just arbitrarily move out and expand. | 00:38:28 | |
So you know it was. | 00:38:34 | |
Very delicate negotiations. | 00:38:36 | |
Can you The only bill that I'd like you to touch on is the inspection bill. Oh yes, so SB185. | 00:38:40 | |
Senator Vickers, and this is the building, accept yourself and it started in a terrible place when it got to, I think it wasn't | 00:38:49 | |
that bad of a bill because what they were saying and I think it's coming out of one state in Cedar City that they weren't getting | 00:38:54 | |
their sessions not three day time requirement. | 00:38:59 | |
And so the final and. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the final version is. | 00:39:03 | |
The owner, the property owner developed. The builder can request that and they don't get in three days. | 00:39:09 | |
The they go to an approved list by the city, an approved third party inspectors. But then there's the liabilities on that | 00:39:14 | |
inspector right? The city doesn't have the liability. | 00:39:20 | |
But you the only way you go to that third party is after you pass that three day. | 00:39:25 | |
And it's on an approved list. | 00:39:31 | |
So not surprisingly, we're having some trouble getting people willing to sign up for that because I mean, like, they're | 00:39:34 | |
independent, right? And then. | 00:39:38 | |
The area that they pick up cover. | 00:39:43 | |
Timeframes the responsibility, the liabilities a. | 00:39:45 | |
I think it's one of those bills that got. | 00:39:49 | |
It came up with a solution that was so competitive and complicated that it's not going to actually solve the problem. | 00:39:52 | |
Especially because I think the problem is so limited and directed. | 00:39:57 | |
On the two cities that are really having this problem. So instead of you know, trying to figure it out what has all the problems, | 00:40:01 | |
they try to. | 00:40:04 | |
Create this build I don't know how. | 00:40:07 | |
The good news is that over a lot of, I mean this is you know the work of what you do. All the negotiations ended up in a much | 00:40:10 | |
better place because originally when it started it was you could go to any inspector that you wanted at any time at the get go and | 00:40:15 | |
there was none of these, you know, none of these repercussions or responsibilities or cities and things like that. So it ended up | 00:40:19 | |
in a good place. | 00:40:23 | |
As far as not damaging, but I don't know how. | 00:40:28 | |
Words are in a good place. Words policy is and the actual actualization of finding inspectors who want to put their reputation on | 00:40:31 | |
the line. | 00:40:36 | |
With you know to go and inspect and potentially face the liability. | 00:40:42 | |
Any other questions? | 00:40:53 | |
All right. | 00:40:56 | |
Hopefully. | 00:41:09 | |
It was part of, yeah, it was. | 00:41:11 | |
It was approved, so now it will go through a process and this is some federal remark. | 00:41:16 | |
It will need to come to us. | 00:41:23 | |
For a process that's kind of similar to a brand application. | 00:41:25 | |
All right. Well, thank you guys for working on behalf of the city. Thanks for having me. Appreciate it. | 00:41:33 | |
All right. | 00:41:40 | |
All right. Have a good night. I promise I will not. I will not. | 00:41:48 | |
Send my application to your school garden. | 00:41:51 | |
It's the last thing you want. | 00:41:55 | |
There aren't enough hours in the day. | 00:42:00 | |
You guys. OK. Thanks, John. And Carrie, you're up. | 00:42:03 | |
Next. Next. | 00:42:08 | |
Come on to that, let's see the regional first, because John, you said you could take two minutes and just clarify the whole thing | 00:42:10 | |
for us. | 00:42:14 | |
Reason is easy, We can do that. | 00:42:18 | |
I don't think this reason is an issue for the Council so. | 00:42:25 | |
I was just trying to clarify them for it because it seemed like they were focused on. | 00:42:30 | |
Pending C2 and it's like this isn't about. | 00:42:35 | |
I was kind of in a Papa bear moment in. | 00:42:40 | |
Most of our staff reports to you. | 00:42:44 | |
Do provide a level analysis. Some of it's professional. | 00:42:49 | |
Cover the majority of it, 90% of this. | 00:42:53 | |
The ordinance very clearly says that we have to provide you with an analysis of what? | 00:42:57 | |
So that section of the general plan is 1 portion of that report. The other is the recommendation, so. | 00:43:03 | |
May or may not like what's in that analysis. | 00:43:10 | |
It is old. | 00:43:14 | |
However, luckily we are going to update that general plan. | 00:43:16 | |
And in fact, we signed up today that we were putting out our RFP for. | 00:43:20 | |
Consultants on your new General Plan update? | 00:43:25 | |
May 1st. | 00:43:28 | |
So by summer, we'll be due in. | 00:43:30 | |
All the smaller master plans that go with it. | 00:43:35 | |
In the Hawaii Village zone to. | 00:43:39 | |
Master plan to. | 00:43:41 | |
And to include the new. | 00:43:43 | |
Well, I mean, obviously I did a very poor job of it, but. | 00:43:47 | |
What I was, I think what I was trying to say to them was. | 00:43:51 | |
Staff basically says that. | 00:43:55 | |
According to the general plan. | 00:43:57 | |
This is probably appropriate for C2. However, this application is appropriate and supported by the Planning Commission staff. | 00:44:00 | |
So that's what I got. | 00:44:07 | |
I wasn't seen to pee off anybody off by asking questions. | 00:44:11 | |
But mostly I just have residents in my mind. | 00:44:18 | |
Conversations we had about and the. | 00:44:20 | |
And came into play, if you recall down on Highland Drive where we have, as I recall there was C2 then there was. | 00:44:23 | |
Some other zone and then more C2. There's just this pocket. | 00:44:29 | |
And so I think in the spirit of critical thinking, I wanted to just say, OK, are we? | 00:44:33 | |
You know creating that that we have tried to avoid. | 00:44:38 | |
I don't have a drive. | 00:44:41 | |
And the other thing is, I look at that too, I just think. | 00:44:44 | |
I wanted to understand for my own sake what is the real difference in the impact to the neighborhood because to me it's extremely | 00:44:49 | |
separated when you've got a circle that comes in from the back versus this frontage on Highland Drive and. | 00:44:55 | |
You know, it creates an awkward land use. | 00:45:02 | |
Interaction, right? | 00:45:05 | |
Most of your zones. Most of your zones that are. | 00:45:07 | |
Hybrid, commercial or street? | 00:45:11 | |
Along commercial do have buffers, setbacks, buffering standards within those zones. | 00:45:13 | |
Not necessarily having the zone itself be the buffering. | 00:45:18 | |
But there are set back standards, especially when they have. | 00:45:22 | |
Residential property. | 00:45:25 | |
In this case, the PO and the C2 zones are the same. | 00:45:27 | |
Things have suffered or did set back on the rear is slightly different on C2 versus. | 00:45:30 | |
Versus the PO? | 00:45:39 | |
I think it's 15 and C2 and. | 00:45:41 | |
Yeah. | 00:45:45 | |
But then there's other. | 00:45:50 | |
There's other options that would meet the general plans. | 00:45:57 | |
Designation as exclusively commercial. | 00:46:02 | |
So maybe it would be less intensive. | 00:46:05 | |
Applications what the application is. | 00:46:10 | |
In the application's. Great. | 00:46:14 | |
If we got any issues with that, yeah. So I think we're good. | 00:46:16 | |
So then we go to the APU, right? Right. So this is a big piece in. | 00:46:21 | |
The fact that is the best way to handle this. To go to your summary, do you think or? | 00:46:27 | |
The summary is the presentation was created off about each of those sentences. | 00:46:36 | |
So I think going to let's start at the summary and just. | 00:46:42 | |
Right. I don't know, I think. | 00:46:50 | |
Either way. | 00:46:52 | |
Repetitive. When I was talking to Gina today, we were talking about how we should approach this because you got. | 00:46:55 | |
The Planning Commission's kind of a vision and the staff's vision, but. | 00:47:02 | |
But then I didn't know if. | 00:47:07 | |
One was sort of a would be considered if you guys are kind of loggerheads or for Planning Commission was a. | 00:47:09 | |
There's an evolution of the process with where there may still be some differences. | 00:47:16 | |
But were there some changes made by the Planning Commission that you're. Oh yeah, that's a good idea. Was it, was there any | 00:47:21 | |
evolution element to it or was it more no. | 00:47:26 | |
It was an ongoing discussion where it was, here's what's presented. You know, maybe we're not quite so comfortable with this. | 00:47:33 | |
Let's change this. | 00:47:37 | |
So I kind of supported, yeah, that's a good idea. We can do that. Some things there weren't as. | 00:47:42 | |
There was not as much discussion around or really thorough analysis. | 00:47:47 | |
But I think that. | 00:47:53 | |
Did they increase the setbacks on the last one? I mean, that's one of our bigger issues. Is that the 10 foot minimum regardless? | 00:47:55 | |
Yeah. And understanding like the intent of the Planning Commission, yes. They want to ensure that there's privacy between | 00:48:00 | |
properties. | 00:48:05 | |
So that's kind of how we're addressing it. It might have been more random than. | 00:48:11 | |
Then based on good principles, yeah. | 00:48:18 | |
So that's that's kind of where those differences came out. | 00:48:21 | |
They they could be adjusted and changed. You can send it back to the. | 00:48:27 | |
Or have staff look at those specific things in May. So any recommendations? | 00:48:35 | |
I've never. | 00:48:42 | |
Direction with those differences. | 00:48:45 | |
Yeah, I think by the time. | 00:48:47 | |
We were getting into the. | 00:48:49 | |
Yeah, throwing out a couple of. | 00:48:59 | |
What? You know zoning standards. | 00:49:03 | |
As far as setbacks are concerned. | 00:49:05 | |
Are largely assuring. | 00:49:07 | |
There's no real scientific. | 00:49:09 | |
Yeah, otherwise but. But. | 00:49:13 | |
You're doing a consistency among certain elements. So for instance, if the primary building set back is actually, don't want the | 00:49:15 | |
accessory to be some. | 00:49:20 | |
Weird number that has no context. | 00:49:24 | |
Relative to the. | 00:49:27 | |
The primers, especially when you have a lot of. | 00:49:28 | |
Neighborhoods have narrow widths. | 00:49:33 | |
The required set back for a home might be even more. | 00:49:36 | |
Then what? A set back or even less than what the accessory building, right? | 00:49:40 | |
Set back which or. | 00:49:47 | |
With some points that could go up to like 6 1/2 feet cause. | 00:49:50 | |
The average would be like 8 foot. | 00:49:54 | |
So you have an average step back, you can come closer 15%. | 00:49:56 | |
With some variations. | 00:50:01 | |
It has rebuilding the same kind of concept where it can be averaged. | 00:50:05 | |
But that having a. | 00:50:11 | |
Smaller size lots with a setback that would be. | 00:50:13 | |
Even smaller than what the Planning Commission is proposing for an accessory building. | 00:50:17 | |
With workers. | 00:50:21 | |
We're looking at the impact of the primary structure versus the accessory structure, and accessory structures are going to vary in | 00:50:24 | |
size depending on. | 00:50:28 | |
The total lot coverage, so there's a lot of different checks on accessory buildings themselves that. | 00:50:33 | |
By nature, they are less actual than a primary structure. | 00:50:39 | |
So accessory buildings that are not. | 00:50:43 | |
Dwelling units versus central buildings that are. | 00:50:48 | |
Rights which changes and accessory buildings can still be more practical than an accessory compelling unit. | 00:50:53 | |
Uses their garage for parties and. | 00:51:03 | |
Or machine shop for personal use. And there's there's a lot of various. | 00:51:07 | |
Impacts that can still occur in accessory buildings. | 00:51:13 | |
When we're looking at impacts, looking at how are we attracting the impacts, so the impacts associated with this. | 00:51:17 | |
Addressed by Noise Princess. | 00:51:24 | |
Obtuse. | 00:51:28 | |
Public nuisance or what address? | 00:51:30 | |
And so that's kind of the same approach that we see with like an accessory dwelling unit, Okay, this is a dwelling unit. | 00:51:34 | |
How are we addressing the impact specific to Indian Welling unit? | 00:51:41 | |
So the city, how much this deals with internal accessory? Is that pretty much clarified? | 00:51:49 | |
So this is only related to EADUS. | 00:51:55 | |
And so. | 00:51:59 | |
We're making a simple statement here, but what we're trying to do is see it. | 00:52:01 | |
See if we can give. | 00:52:05 | |
Staff guidance to actually come up with an ordinance that we can vote on 25th. | 00:52:07 | |
Right. And what are? | 00:52:13 | |
Or this report. Are these the issues that need to be clarified? So you just need to go through one at a time? We'll go through and | 00:52:16 | |
you can say adjust this or can I question the premise? | 00:52:22 | |
Why do we need to pass anything? | 00:52:29 | |
We don't. We don't. We don't need to vote on it next week and I think. | 00:52:31 | |
Well, we need to change. | 00:52:36 | |
Do you mean like we could refer back to the Planning Commission? So what I'm saying is, are we under the gun to do something? No, | 00:52:38 | |
by mandate. And so our goal is to make sure we do something right, not something fast. And it seems like suddenly we've got this | 00:52:43 | |
drop dead date that. | 00:52:48 | |
No, I don't think we need the public hearings closed. | 00:52:54 | |
But the issues that are in here, if we can't get, you know, I don't want to spend. | 00:52:57 | |
Two hours on this tonight if we need to put it to your point, if we need to put on the work agenda for the 25th. | 00:53:03 | |
To continue the discussion, we can do that. I mean what one of my concerns. | 00:53:08 | |
I think the overall guidance I remember getting was if there's some low hanging fruit with regarding some external Pdus. | 00:53:15 | |
If someone can knock something out. | 00:53:22 | |
Because it feels like this got bigger than low hanging fruit. | 00:53:25 | |
And the other. | 00:53:28 | |
The reason I'm concerned about that is that we've got this. | 00:53:30 | |
Ever steepening mandate. | 00:53:34 | |
Cycle that's coming towards us from the legislature about housing. | 00:53:38 | |
And I'm loathe to get out in front of that. | 00:53:41 | |
Because there's not. Yeah, I don't want to. | 00:53:45 | |
Do something before we can get credit for it in that ever increasing mandate environment. | 00:53:50 | |
Because then it won't count. | 00:53:57 | |
We do it too soon. | 00:53:59 | |
And because then also we do something and then the mandate comes, you've got to do something more by additional have 25% more | 00:54:02 | |
effectiveness. We did something too soon we're not. So even those I don't know that any work that we do here would be lost. | 00:54:09 | |
But perhaps it might be wise to not. | 00:54:18 | |
Be in a hurry. | 00:54:21 | |
Because it might, it might come to a point where we have to do this. | 00:54:24 | |
And then we've got in our pocket. | 00:54:27 | |
Can we get credit for it or is it possible? Arizona Core analysis of. | 00:54:30 | |
Required a crystal ball that nobody has so in Francis. So this has to do with. | 00:54:35 | |
The modern income piece we just adopted, right? And these boxes we have to check in, so. | 00:54:42 | |
Are you concerned about that that? | 00:54:51 | |
We should be. | 00:54:54 | |
Stretching out our opportunities to check our boxes? Yes, exactly. | 00:54:57 | |
Because you can't check a box that says within this year you've got to do X and well, we've already kind of shot this bot, as it | 00:55:02 | |
were. | 00:55:06 | |
And we can't count it. There's a box checking opportunity. | 00:55:10 | |
And I'm really concerned about boxing with the legislature. | 00:55:14 | |
Do we have enough information to strategize that or? | 00:55:18 | |
Harry is sort of holding back and they're going to change something, but it may not match. You hate to not do the right thing just | 00:55:23 | |
for that reason, yeah. | 00:55:28 | |
It requires a crystal ball. | 00:55:34 | |
That's why I say that's why I was kind of focused on low hanging fruit as opposed to. | 00:55:36 | |
Redesigned. What were you going to say in? | 00:55:40 | |
I seem to say that in. | 00:55:43 | |
Having a discussion. | 00:55:49 | |
Moving towards. | 00:55:51 | |
Reducing the regulations. | 00:55:55 | |
Whether it be 1 item? | 00:55:58 | |
We can report. | 00:56:01 | |
It doesn't require us to. | 00:56:04 | |
We've done this. | 00:56:17 | |
So what you're saying is we would get credit for this? | 00:56:22 | |
And if we did a little bit and then a little bit next year, we could. | 00:56:25 | |
Yes, because we put on their timeline. | 00:56:29 | |
Yeah, but this is. | 00:56:39 | |
It's something we should do, yeah, Yeah, we need to. We need for the needs of the residents first. | 00:56:41 | |
Regardless of what we think that we're going to be required to do by legislature. | 00:56:48 | |
But personally, residents do it. Yeah, question of what is that? | 00:56:53 | |
But regardless of that, it's also lots of residents are like. | 00:56:57 | |
But making every R1 zone R2. | 00:57:02 | |
So there's that, there's, there's the longer term strategic piece. So it doesn't seem to be an issue like it. | 00:57:05 | |
We should we should do this. | 00:57:10 | |
But that doesn't mean we have to put on the agenda to vote for the 2050. | 00:57:12 | |
Because there's some stuff that we can't, I don't want to spend. | 00:57:16 | |
You know, I say, let's give this 1/2 an hour, so we'll start chipping through these things, but we should vote this. | 00:57:20 | |
Put it on for a vote until we're comfortable. | 00:57:27 | |
That we've gone through all these things and reach what we agreed on. | 00:57:29 | |
The individual issues that are outlined here. | 00:57:34 | |
That really breakdown, that matrix that staff created about. | 00:57:37 | |
What the staff said they would recommend, and we're different from the Planning Commission. I think that was the issue we had | 00:57:41 | |
right and right. So I think we need to walk through, start walking through each of those individual issues. | 00:57:47 | |
See if we can reach consensus. | 00:57:53 | |
And you know, we can get through as much as we can, but I don't think they're, if we get through the night right. I don't want to | 00:57:56 | |
spend. | 00:57:58 | |
I don't want to spend an hour and a half. We can move it to the next. | 00:58:02 | |
To the 25th and continue and then when we're ready. | 00:58:07 | |
Will vote it or if we're still uncomfortable with it, we could always say. | 00:58:10 | |
Because it almost sounded like the Planning Commission punted a little bit on it to say, let's just. | 00:58:14 | |
These are. | 00:58:20 | |
Table it to a further date. | 00:58:25 | |
We can study it further. | 00:58:27 | |
Weights, and I think the Planning Commission too. | 00:58:29 | |
Especially when they were looking at like, let's start at this like we're all comfortable with reducing the law size. | 00:58:35 | |
Maybe then in two years or whatever period of time we can look at. | 00:58:43 | |
Reducing that more so I think having some of that periodic review I think and when you were talking about like. | 00:58:50 | |
Incremental. So maybe looking at it as an incremental, OK, what? | 00:58:57 | |
What things would be most important or high priority to pass and follow that with? Let's look at it in another year or two years | 00:59:02 | |
and. | 00:59:06 | |
What other things we? | 00:59:10 | |
I think when you're looking at like below hanging fruit when we got into the ordinance, it's like. | 00:59:13 | |
How do you? How do you? | 00:59:19 | |
Just single out just a little element when you could. | 00:59:22 | |
Comprehensively address some of the issues that are that are within it. | 00:59:26 | |
And that's when we got into looking at what the code is and what needed to be changed to allow for modification of or conversion | 00:59:31 | |
of the existing accessory buildings. That's where it got a little bit. | 00:59:37 | |
Like it's not as simple. | 00:59:44 | |
As the Planning Commission for their pointless. | 00:59:46 | |
Yeah, building a new structure complies with short standards is. | 00:59:49 | |
Possibly better than converting this thing. | 00:59:54 | |
So that's. | 00:59:57 | |
Gina, let me ask you how much of the budget discussion, how much is there? I mean, I'm going to guess that conversational thing is | 01:00:00 | |
20 minutes or so. | 01:00:04 | |
Well, why don't we? | 01:00:08 | |
This team my suggestions. Why don't we start going through? | 01:00:10 | |
The individual issues and see how far we get. | 01:00:14 | |
And it will take from there. But at some point I may just say, OK, let's. | 01:00:17 | |
Stop here. | 01:00:21 | |
Put it on for the 25th and we'll start over again. See if we get through, because I think we don't have there's no rush to focus. | 01:00:23 | |
It's just a quick comment and looking at the goals that we submitted. | 01:00:30 | |
It's a quarterly review. | 01:00:34 | |
That we are. | 01:00:37 | |
So it's not specific or what we've done, but just review any value. | 01:00:46 | |
There is a box needing to be checked that we can check as a result. | 01:00:55 | |
Looks like we've got the first quarter and second quarter, that's right. | 01:01:00 | |
Quick question to answer you if I mean, even if you pass new code or changes to the code, you could still have that review be part | 01:01:04 | |
of your. | 01:01:08 | |
How successful it was. Great. | 01:01:19 | |
Last because you kind of move through this. | 01:01:23 | |
If there are specific areas that are kind of addressed, the. | 01:01:27 | |
For, can you highlight those for? | 01:01:32 | |
Is that a specific issue? Is there or is it multiple to a degree? | 01:01:36 | |
Yeah, and I think that his situation is. | 01:01:44 | |
Would be more focused on impact. | 01:01:47 | |
And that was the kind of consideration of as well you know, what is the impact, how do you detach structures? | 01:01:50 | |
Affect neighboring properties, that's where the height limitation that they they wanted to have is in there. So if you have | 01:01:59 | |
something that's underground, what is the impact? | 01:02:03 | |
I think that that's a consideration for. | 01:02:08 | |
Conversion of existing structures. Can we do? | 01:02:13 | |
I think staff suggestion was. | 01:02:17 | |
Maybe having those be conditional use permits? | 01:02:19 | |
So that converting existing accessory structures. | 01:02:22 | |
To a accessory unit. | 01:02:26 | |
Would have to have a condition, at least permit review by the Planning Commission and then conditions are placed on those | 01:02:29 | |
specifically. | 01:02:32 | |
So that they have the oversight. You know the impact on this is too great. It can't be mitigated with XY or Z. | 01:02:36 | |
So that's an event would be. | 01:02:43 | |
So this is actually my question so. | 01:02:48 | |
Because this all started with the idea of enabling the conversion of existing structure. So is that are all these focused just in | 01:02:50 | |
that scenario or are they on new structures as well they be on new structures. So I just wanted to see the scope of it Okay, so | 01:02:57 | |
you have some elements of the code that then if you're converting existing structures. | 01:03:04 | |
That kind of effect other intersection, Yeah. So they're they're interrelated. That's fine. I just wanted to understand the scope, | 01:03:12 | |
so. | 01:03:15 | |
All right. | 01:03:18 | |
Main statement This addresses Mr. Hilton's comments. | 01:03:22 | |
That in the last public hearing. | 01:03:27 | |
That the C code. | 01:03:32 | |
Just references residential zones, so our code currently says single family zones. | 01:03:33 | |
So we're renewing single family and just adding. | 01:03:40 | |
Residential zones. | 01:03:43 | |
And we're adding detached structures. So then adus being added to two classes and family multi family units. | 01:03:45 | |
Are not permitted. | 01:03:55 | |
Yeah, previously we actually. | 01:03:58 | |
There's our one zones, but by state code it says all residential zones. | 01:04:01 | |
Single family residences shall be able to have. | 01:04:06 | |
This is the one that we really should change. | 01:04:10 | |
Does that include an art two zone? | 01:04:16 | |
Yes, you have. If it does have a single family house on it in our two zone, yes it does. | 01:04:19 | |
It wouldn't include, no. | 01:04:26 | |
So it has to be a detached structure. So if you have an R2 zone and it's an attached unit, SO2 units duplex. | 01:04:29 | |
You can't do an expensive. | 01:04:37 | |
So the qualifier is that it only applies to detached structures. | 01:04:40 | |
Because you could have a detached single family home that's in a. | 01:04:45 | |
Multi family Residential. | 01:04:50 | |
They can add an accessory welding unit. | 01:04:53 | |
All right. Next one. | 01:05:01 | |
Property owner on site. So our existing language just states with the property owner living on site. | 01:05:05 | |
We added additional language which requires owner occupancy by the property owner or an immediate family member. | 01:05:13 | |
The Planning Commission wanted to narrow that down to immediate family member. | 01:05:22 | |
Originally proposed. | 01:05:27 | |
Wider definition of family member. | 01:05:29 | |
We're fine with a narrow definition they wanted to have. Like if you have grandpa that owns property, maybe. | 01:05:32 | |
This father daughter can live in the house and still have an accessory well unit. | 01:05:39 | |
So they would fall under that definition of because they are. | 01:05:44 | |
Directly related as. | 01:05:49 | |
Do I have the language in there? It's. | 01:05:53 | |
Grandmother. Grandfather. | 01:05:56 | |
A son, daughter. | 01:05:59 | |
I don't think it's easy that queue. | 01:06:01 | |
Grandkids first level of relationship. | 01:06:06 | |
And that's if I get their code like it's spelled out what relationships are are in there. | 01:06:11 | |
Owner occupied requires full time residency, so that adds additional clarification. | 01:06:17 | |
From our existing language, there was like the three-year. | 01:06:24 | |
Is that device in state language is what will? | 01:06:32 | |
Typically under taxation purchases. | 01:06:36 | |
So I think it seemed after reside in your house as rigorous and store. | 01:06:39 | |
182 days a year, whatever more than six months is. | 01:06:45 | |
So that just requires the full residency and um. | 01:06:51 | |
We added language for occupancy some cities. | 01:06:58 | |
Want to limit the occupancy? We didn't want to get into limiting occupancy. | 01:07:04 | |
And that was the Planning Commission brought up like. | 01:07:12 | |
Well, what is that? | 01:07:15 | |
Code is. | 01:07:19 | |
You're not limiting occupancy to only two or only three. | 01:07:20 | |
That's the changes with kind of the ownership exceptions for military jobs, volunteer service. | 01:07:28 | |
Any questions on that one? | 01:07:38 | |
All right. | 01:07:41 | |
So can I just clarify when you say that for, excuse me, the staff recommendation works well, again, there's an evolution. | 01:07:45 | |
What's the frequency of these like? | 01:07:54 | |
Well, the frequency is more. | 01:08:03 | |
To the denials, we get a lot. | 01:08:06 | |
Maybe 20% of my. | 01:08:14 | |
How many applications? | 01:08:15 | |
Well, it's the people call and ask about it and we have a conversation saying you have to have it on have paper larger. | 01:08:17 | |
And so there's just for two times a lot of steps, yes. So do you see you get. | 01:08:26 | |
We get people in all the time I was. | 01:08:33 | |
We had we had at least two applications that we denied 0.48 and .46 acres we have. | 01:08:36 | |
People that are looking for and it's typically like I'm looking for a place for my mother-in-law to come live that has some work, | 01:08:45 | |
right? | 01:08:50 | |
In our 110 zone. | 01:08:55 | |
On what .48 and R110? | 01:08:57 | |
.48 in Norwin 10. | 01:09:03 | |
To have twice the minimum lot size. | 01:09:08 | |
Yes, I think they will. | 01:09:12 | |
Possibly. | 01:09:15 | |
R115 or something? | 01:09:18 | |
So I would suspect at least. | 01:09:21 | |
Four to six a week. | 01:09:23 | |
So once this changes. | 01:09:27 | |
That's going to generate a lot of. | 01:09:31 | |
Well, depending on how many. | 01:09:34 | |
All right, Parking. So right now our code is. | 01:09:42 | |
Calls for one additional on site parking spot. | 01:09:46 | |
We changed to. | 01:09:50 | |
If additional bedrooms are being added outside of the existing footprint of the house, and that doesn't matter if you're adding | 01:09:52 | |
on. | 01:09:56 | |
3 bedrooms as an Adu to reserve the same structure or three bedrooms in a detached structure. | 01:10:00 | |
Adding parking that's tied to the upper bedrooms that you're adding is that, is that. | 01:10:08 | |
Based on like how you would do it if someone's doing a remodel. This is a similar kind of remodel, so. | 01:10:14 | |
If they're just remodeling their their space. | 01:10:20 | |
We don't require additional parking there, but it's. | 01:10:25 | |
If they're adding on specifically to do an accessory welding unit. | 01:10:28 | |
And you're kind of adopting like the RM standards, it's parking standards that are political in any zone, OK? | 01:10:32 | |
Because the Planning Commission's. | 01:10:40 | |
Recommendation was. | 01:10:43 | |
Based on bedrooms, which is kind of a. | 01:10:45 | |
Parking standards It applies to RMR 2. | 01:10:49 | |
All of our excuse zones if you're adding. | 01:10:53 | |
Living units. Your parking spaces are tight. How many bedrooms? So it's one bedroom is 1 parking space, 2 bedrooms is 1 spaces. | 01:10:56 | |
So they would just have to have. | 01:11:08 | |
Those additional parking spaces instead of just. | 01:11:11 | |
And our current language also has no on street parking for Edu's. | 01:11:15 | |
So I'm sorry, can you explain the difference between your recommendation of the Planning Commission because. | 01:11:22 | |
Feels like what you explained similar to it. | 01:11:28 | |
Yeah, we didn't have the changes for the parking in the code. | 01:11:30 | |
Commission wanted to have some additional regulations for parking. | 01:11:35 | |
To adding. | 01:11:40 | |
External EU or adding? | 01:11:42 | |
Onto the structure specific. | 01:11:46 | |
Because that's the common issue with parking. Is common conservative neighbors when 80s are being built or are they going to park? | 01:11:50 | |
So how do you feel about their animation? | 01:11:55 | |
It makes sense. | 01:12:01 | |
And what's the internal Adu requirement for parking? It's just one off site, so that would stay the same. | 01:12:04 | |
Just because you're seeing that in terms of what an existing house is? | 01:12:12 | |
You're already going to have parking already tied to. | 01:12:16 | |
Currently so this is more than internal. | 01:12:23 | |
It's expanding outside of what the existing is. | 01:12:28 | |
So since you're adding more bedrooms on specifically for an accessory unit. | 01:12:32 | |
That's when you trigger then the additional parking requirements. | 01:12:37 | |
So it was their consensus that this was OK, or was this a point of contention? | 01:12:45 | |
This one looks fine. OK, that's great. | 01:12:50 | |
External Adu minimum lot size. | 01:12:54 | |
Current language is. | 01:12:59 | |
Be located on a lot of record measuring twice minimum or a minimum. | 01:13:01 | |
Commonly what we see on half acre and larger lots is that people would typically build a guest house with a larger footprint on | 01:13:07 | |
it. It's suitably larger properties that can't be subdivided because they're in. | 01:13:13 | |
A1 acre bottom or two acre, whatever that might be. | 01:13:20 | |
So, and since they can't subdivide it like mobile build a guest house and my kids will live here, we've done several conditional | 01:13:24 | |
use permit support. | 01:13:28 | |
Increasing the low print size for a guest house. | 01:13:34 | |
For that kind of situation. | 01:13:36 | |
Typically with your larger lots of points, the larger. | 01:13:39 | |
Structures that are being built. | 01:13:42 | |
Most commonly for family user, they're not going to build it. | 01:13:44 | |
2000 Square House. | 01:13:49 | |
So just they use. | 01:13:52 | |
Intent is typically different on larger properties things. | 01:13:54 | |
So stop. | 01:13:59 | |
Staff recommendation was because accessory building footprints are regulated based off of the footprint size. | 01:14:03 | |
Proportional when you have a smaller watch. | 01:14:15 | |
Smaller accessory building. | 01:14:18 | |
So that was kind of the logic behind that. That's all we watched. | 01:14:20 | |
You're going to have smaller structure coverage percentage allowed. | 01:14:24 | |
Just like to build a giant house on. | 01:14:28 | |
Small lots you wouldn't be able to do like a big house and a big accessory, so. | 01:14:30 | |
It balances out with lot coverage and. | 01:14:36 | |
So that's where SAP was comfortable. | 01:14:41 | |
That let's just have it be on any box and these other regulations that are in place kind of. | 01:14:44 | |
Keep that. | 01:14:50 | |
Although this could also be one of those potential progression elements where you start here and we. | 01:14:53 | |
That's what the Planning Commission would recommend. | 01:15:00 | |
Let's start at quarter acre and see how that goes and if we've been. | 01:15:03 | |
Reducing up to. | 01:15:11 | |
Any lodge for 8000 square foot. | 01:15:14 | |
See. | 01:15:19 | |
Portions that are typically. | 01:15:20 | |
Oscillate the R18 zones are up in here District plan. | 01:15:23 | |
Or Drew, sorry. | 01:15:27 | |
So those are R18 we have a small section down by. | 01:15:30 | |
Highlands. | 01:15:36 | |
And I think over in your. | 01:15:40 | |
Where I am. | 01:15:44 | |
There's just a few small sections that are R18, so that's where you see those. | 01:15:51 | |
Yeah, they would likely put in smaller external units, if at all. Yeah, they're already pretty pressed on their last day, so | 01:16:01 | |
that's what you're saying. This is allowed R1A. | 01:16:07 | |
Yeah, and they want to put DAU on it. | 01:16:13 | |
How are they going to do it with block coverage and setbacks? I mean, it's almost right, they can't convert an existing building, | 01:16:16 | |
but it's just basically saying why don't we just say 10,000 square feet and then if we want to revisit it, but we're not | 01:16:22 | |
comfortable below that. So this was one of the issues that I thought. | 01:16:28 | |
Mr. Kemp was saying it was prohibitive for him, right? His property is just under 8000 square feet. So he was he's our 1/8. | 01:16:35 | |
His property was originally 8000 square feet, but because of. | 01:16:48 | |
Dedication. He's just below 8000. | 01:16:53 | |
But if he zoned R18 and we said we're, well, yes. So if we said 8000 square foot lots, he still doesn't hate the regulation. | 01:16:57 | |
And that's worth like, yeah, you can still have. | 01:17:05 | |
If you reduce that minimum, just not have minimum lot size, it's a meeting all these qualifications. | 01:17:07 | |
And looking at the impact. | 01:17:15 | |
If you could have the accessory structure, that maybe doesn't have a large impact on neighboring properties. | 01:17:18 | |
So what does he have there? That's an issue? Does he have a garage that has so his detached garage? | 01:17:26 | |
Has a large house that's fronting onto butternuts and then the small side street is where the detached garage is. | 01:17:34 | |
And they detached it so that it can go closer to the property line because and where's the? Where's the dwelling here? | 01:17:41 | |
Underneath the rush. So it really purposes it should be an internal dwelling here like that's really is there a way? But is there | 01:17:50 | |
a way? | 01:17:55 | |
Inside the code to cover that but like. | 01:18:01 | |
In terms of how do you define an attachment or? | 01:18:04 | |
It's within so many feet of the house. Yeah, that's why he was bringing up IS. | 01:18:08 | |
Is there some way to create? | 01:18:12 | |
Something in the code that yes it's. | 01:18:16 | |
Within a specific distance, the primary. | 01:18:19 | |
Then it would be. | 01:18:22 | |
Internal. Is that possible? | 01:18:25 | |
Yeah, because I see what I know of the house. | 01:18:33 | |
And it's certainly not interest to the neighborhood, so I can see where he's coming from. | 01:18:37 | |
But I wouldn't want to. | 01:18:42 | |
Write code based on. | 01:18:44 | |
But this is a good example of where law is a clunky way we do the best we can, right? | 01:18:48 | |
Right came down to existing buildings. | 01:18:57 | |
So those are kind of the elements that were proposed. | 01:19:03 | |
Wasn't necessary. | 01:19:12 | |
So if we adopted the staff recommendations, this. | 01:19:20 | |
Here. | 01:19:27 | |
The staff recommendation is. | 01:19:34 | |
All the staff. | 01:19:40 | |
What about when you said conversion of existing buildings would be a conditional use? | 01:19:42 | |
And that would that's a staff recommendation as well. So that's that additional, yeah, it's an additional oversight that. | 01:19:48 | |
We're not just going to outright permit conversion of the accessory buildings, we want to have those reviewed by the planning to | 01:19:55 | |
look at what are the specific impacts. | 01:20:00 | |
Of this existing structure. | 01:20:06 | |
What does what impact does that have on the neighbors and how are we going to address those? | 01:20:09 | |
It could cover any conversion of the existing, but it's already. | 01:20:17 | |
And he he could have played. | 01:20:24 | |
Might be difficult to mitigate. | 01:20:26 | |
Why would we not want to go that route? | 01:20:28 | |
Like why would the Planning Commission not support that? | 01:20:35 | |
To me it leaves all of the controls in place to allow for. | 01:20:39 | |
The conditions to be right for it and the conditions are right for it. Let me get to that right. | 01:20:44 | |
Yeah, and so you have to drop the specific conditions. | 01:20:48 | |
They might be twice, so if you're not going to a person, well it's impact based. You have to have conditioning uses are best. | 01:20:53 | |
Deny implement conditions can't be migrated. | 01:21:02 | |
Are shown to not be able. | 01:21:05 | |
There is some arbitrariness. | 01:21:09 | |
So we could still go this route here or code that discuss the automatic stand approval and Mr. Kent could still get what he wants | 01:21:13 | |
through the conditioned use. | 01:21:19 | |
Process if you can show that the. | 01:21:25 | |
But the impacts are especially mitigated. | 01:21:29 | |
Where you can have any. So another way to address that minimum block size too is you could keep the 10,000 as permitted. | 01:21:32 | |
Lots less than 10,000 square feet could be a conditional. | 01:21:40 | |
I think that's a good idea, yeah. I think because I think everybody here agrees that. | 01:21:46 | |
Right. We don't. | 01:21:52 | |
There's no issue with this House, but yet the way we have to write our code. | 01:21:55 | |
Can we make a path? | 01:22:02 | |
Say, look. | 01:22:04 | |
There's exceptions to this that we have to be able to. | 01:22:06 | |
Use our best judgment and say, look, the intention was to do this. This doesn't violate any of those intentions, so. | 01:22:10 | |
So the logging is still not for away. | 01:22:18 | |
That just doesn't get the automatic standard goes through the additional steps to make it happen. | 01:22:22 | |
Enough applications, so the Planning Commission then we should reevaluate, we come back and release that requirement and get | 01:22:28 | |
another check box. | 01:22:32 | |
So how do we say keep to 10,000 feet? And then what would we write into the code? | 01:22:40 | |
To allow some flexibility there. | 01:22:45 | |
And then you have to write up the conditions or. | 01:22:50 | |
Oh, oh, well, there you go. | 01:22:57 | |
Yeah, are you guys any conditional use impacts already built in here? | 01:23:00 | |
It's pretty generic list that makes a lot of sense. | 01:23:04 | |
Do you feel like I mean? | 01:23:08 | |
That his situation. | 01:23:10 | |
Would be allowed given the current. | 01:23:13 | |
Probably. | 01:23:15 | |
There's an exiting. There's a door issue. | 01:23:17 | |
But that's mitigated. | 01:23:24 | |
People ******* out their front door into someone elses backyard where this is below Gray so that might need to be a. | 01:23:28 | |
In addition to the languages below, grade exits or entrances because you might have like. | 01:23:37 | |
For the entrance, that's probably not going in there, yeah. | 01:23:44 | |
Next one. | 01:23:54 | |
Bed bath. | 01:23:59 | |
OK, so existing is compiled with setbacks letter to standard in our code. | 01:24:03 | |
Our code existing code does have an additional 25% set back required for external data use. | 01:24:10 | |
The changes by Planning Commission wanted to put a minimum set back of 10 feet on all parcels greater. | 01:24:20 | |
Well, that would be. | 01:24:30 | |
Oh yeah, so they were, they're drawing the line at 10,000 square foot, so. | 01:24:34 | |
At least 10 feet on all parcels and then that would increase as the parcel size. | 01:24:38 | |
What up? | 01:24:45 | |
I don't think I have the table in here. It's in the. | 01:24:48 | |
And the code modifications, but it makes it really clear on the proposed text you see the changes on that 25% column. | 01:24:52 | |
Increase from I think it starts at like 5 or 6 feet and it goes 10 feet for the first three and it goes I think to 12 feet. | 01:25:02 | |
Will this be another one of those? | 01:25:13 | |
This can be this. | 01:25:15 | |
Rubber stamp standard attendant. | 01:25:17 | |
Should less than that would be a conditional use or is that this be a harder hurdle, the conditional use mitigation blah blah | 01:25:19 | |
blah. Yeah, from my point of view that this is a little bit harder because. | 01:25:24 | |
Once you start moving those primary structure, the ancillary structure property line. | 01:25:29 | |
Usually, inevitably, you're going to get something else that's replacing it. | 01:25:35 | |
Swimming pool court. | 01:25:39 | |
Where those might be situated elsewhere. | 01:25:41 | |
Especially when you had a conflict of the primary building probably having more restrictive setbacks than what the. | 01:25:46 | |
Yeah, vice versa, yeah. | 01:25:53 | |
Yeah, when you're looking at what this looks like, you're going to have. | 01:25:57 | |
He has to push the building away, but you're going to have a 10 foot kind of gutter around your building. They're going to push | 01:26:01 | |
it. | 01:26:06 | |
Probably into a corner of a yard 10 feet on. | 01:26:11 | |
Verse 510 feet on the side. Can it just be used for landscaping? Likely. | 01:26:15 | |
But it's it's a pretty significant business. | 01:26:23 | |
Especially where you're if you're looking at. | 01:26:28 | |
Typical layouts of properties. | 01:26:31 | |
It's all backyard, so you have a 25 to 35 foot set back on each rear yard. | 01:26:33 | |
And you have increasing distance requirements for additional height. | 01:26:40 | |
So some of the staff recommendations. | 01:26:47 | |
You could just leave it at the 25%. | 01:26:51 | |
Required for externally uses in existing code. | 01:26:54 | |
You could. | 01:27:01 | |
Consider that you could leave a 10 foot set back on the rear side and then have the side setbacks meet. | 01:27:04 | |
The primary structure setbacks. | 01:27:12 | |
So that might be. | 01:27:15 | |
That makes the Amy. | 01:27:17 | |
If you're meeting the primary structure or the lesser of primary structure, set back or MP. | 01:27:20 | |
That makes a lot of sense. | 01:27:27 | |
Or there might be in this situation where the lot. | 01:27:31 | |
May not be impacting the neighbors. | 01:27:33 | |
All especially in. | 01:27:36 | |
Your neighborhood when you. | 01:27:38 | |
Set back doesn't make sense or against that winkle. | 01:27:42 | |
That makes sense, right? | 01:27:47 | |
They probably you could use process in that situation as well, right if there's if the backside is. | 01:27:49 | |
Family cooler 'cause that should be right in all those characteristics, but it might be easier. | 01:27:58 | |
Or. | 01:28:04 | |
Order in. | 01:28:06 | |
Residential. | 01:28:08 | |
Could you just say it that way? And and? | 01:28:11 | |
Or it could just be that similar process to additional use permit for a. | 01:28:14 | |
For building footprint size for an accessory building, those are required to go to a conditional use if they're larger size. | 01:28:23 | |
So if you want a. | 01:28:30 | |
Set back that's smaller than 10 feet. | 01:28:32 | |
So having specific things that. | 01:28:38 | |
You can get a conditional use permit. | 01:28:45 | |
If you want the various reductions. | 01:28:48 | |
Similar to what we had, we had for a larger footprint size. | 01:28:54 | |
That makes sense to me, except for where it's a budding, a non residential area. I feel like that's something that we could just | 01:28:59 | |
just include because. | 01:29:03 | |
That just was like another hurdle and I feel like. | 01:29:07 | |
Why would we not? | 01:29:10 | |
Give somebody back. | 01:29:11 | |
I don't know, maybe you guys have the best definition or is there a reason that's something that we could change just in our | 01:29:13 | |
accessory building setbacks overall is. | 01:29:17 | |
Because that would be applicable for any A. | 01:29:23 | |
Garage. That's a good idea. | 01:29:28 | |
If you have a. | 01:29:31 | |
Attracting or abutting use, that is. | 01:29:33 | |
Now if you already, you already have. | 01:29:43 | |
Accessory Accessory. | 01:29:50 | |
Buildings. | 01:29:53 | |
Now we're just talking about dwelling buildings. | 01:29:55 | |
So now if you because connecting the situation, somebody really hasn't out. | 01:29:58 | |
Outbuilding. It's not as long just an accessory building. It's right up against the fence line. | 01:30:03 | |
I mean, the impact is. | 01:30:09 | |
People are having their assessing dwelling unit. | 01:30:12 | |
Overlooking someone's empty backyard, but someone already has a. | 01:30:15 | |
Garage, right on the back fence line. That's not a dwelling unit. Who cares if you have 10 feet, isn't there? | 01:30:19 | |
So we're getting into a lot of weird conditions. | 01:30:26 | |
But I think we, I mean like Greg, you still have to come up with what's the river stamp versus what's the conditional use permit. | 01:30:29 | |
But yeah, he. | 01:30:37 | |
You want to make additional use being overly common when our whole goal is to get out of there. Well, that's what I'm wondering | 01:30:39 | |
about. If like it's not residential, then that feels pretty straightforward. And then for the situation as you're talking about, | 01:30:45 | |
yeah, so maybe that we're OK with the 10 feet, but then in part of the condition use permit if you look at. | 01:30:52 | |
What is it overlooking? | 01:30:59 | |
Sure. You know, if it's overlooking a backyard, well, you might have a problem. | 01:31:01 | |
When I go closer. | 01:31:04 | |
But if you're if you're butting up against an RN zone and it's the parking lot bookings or if you're even up against a. | 01:31:06 | |
About any single family home. | 01:31:14 | |
Zone, but if they already have their own. | 01:31:16 | |
Accessory building. | 01:31:19 | |
Who cares? | 01:31:22 | |
That kind of setback issue would be applicable for accessory only. Use accessory buildings overall, I think, so we could just put | 01:31:29 | |
it into our setback code of accessory buildings overall if they're a budding. | 01:31:36 | |
Whatever specific uses of. | 01:31:44 | |
These non residential uses those. | 01:31:49 | |
Properties could have an accessory building that is. | 01:31:52 | |
On a property bank or. | 01:31:56 | |
So I think you know the objective. | 01:31:59 | |
Yeah, what you can write into code that's rubber stand? Great. | 01:32:01 | |
What you think should go to conditional use and. | 01:32:05 | |
Provide flexibility without having to ****** up the code. | 01:32:08 | |
Does that sound good? | 01:32:12 | |
Exactly. | 01:32:15 | |
Maximum height. | 01:32:30 | |
Existing code for accessory buildings is a 20 foot maximum height. | 01:32:33 | |
The changes that the Planning Commission approved was. | 01:32:41 | |
They wanted to see the big space only on route. | 01:32:45 | |
On parcels that are smaller than half an acre, what's defined as a living space? Bedrooms. OK, so if you have like a game room or | 01:32:50 | |
something above the garage that does. | 01:32:54 | |
It would be more like that, probably. Living space, yeah. | 01:32:59 | |
By the building code center is all concerned. | 01:33:17 | |
You can't exclude. | 01:33:21 | |
Well, so then are we saying that we can't go above a garage? Really. | 01:33:23 | |
Yes. | 01:33:30 | |
Unless you bring your structure in far enough. | 01:33:33 | |
Edge So first you have a massive lot size really. | 01:33:37 | |
Well, of course we. | 01:33:41 | |
How do we deal with? | 01:33:43 | |
The current code does not. This is. | 01:33:47 | |
Changes to bring it down to ground level. | 01:33:50 | |
Current code just says 20 feet, same as any accessory building but 20 feet, but it could be up or down. | 01:33:53 | |
Yeah, any part of the structure. | 01:34:01 | |
So the change is have to be on the ground level. | 01:34:04 | |
If you're even, if you're 20 feet, you. | 01:34:10 | |
You can still build a 20 foot structure, but you can't have any living space. | 01:34:13 | |
In the area, yes. So you can. | 01:34:17 | |
Apartment or garage, Yeah. | 01:34:20 | |
Unless you move your building in or under factory. | 01:34:23 | |
Yeah. | 01:34:29 | |
That has a family room above. | 01:34:31 | |
And they were trying to prevent that overlooking into. | 01:34:37 | |
A little bit of background on the 20 foot height. We spent a lot of time in 2015 to get to that number. | 01:34:43 | |
That is just enough. | 01:34:49 | |
Upper level story. | 01:34:53 | |
It's not a lot of height to get like a second level. | 01:34:54 | |
It's just enough to get. | 01:34:59 | |
Bonus space up above your garage. | 01:35:01 | |
Studio something pretty small with cables. | 01:35:04 | |
That was the whole issue with my neighbor Mike. You were when we went to the double. | 01:35:08 | |
Bob size because he had blink 48, Maryland 10. | 01:35:12 | |
He wanted to put. | 01:35:16 | |
Alien sister in a over the garage apartment. | 01:35:18 | |
This would cause a problem, at least in terms of rubber stamp. I suppose even he might have had a. | 01:35:23 | |
Conditional use because I think his garage. | 01:35:29 | |
Was on the. | 01:35:31 | |
The circle side, not overlooking a backyard side. | 01:35:33 | |
Oh, that's yeah, that's true. | 01:35:38 | |
So that's that note on the on the building right there. | 01:35:40 | |
A lot of people are. | 01:35:45 | |
Want to do any cash? We have some older houses that don't have attached brushes or they're looking for an additional space. It's a | 01:35:46 | |
good way to meet parking requirements for the Adu when you're building an additional garage. | 01:35:52 | |
Cost effective? It makes sense to add a living unit if you're already building any cash garage. | 01:35:59 | |
So that's where the staff recommendation for. | 01:36:04 | |
Allowing up to 25 feet. | 01:36:08 | |
At 20 feet, people who want to build a garage with the unit above it, they just do a flat roof. | 01:36:10 | |
The extra 5 piece typically just adds for that architectural feature of having a history. | 01:36:16 | |
You still gotta meet like graduated. | 01:36:22 | |
High requirements. | 01:36:26 | |
Relationship to the setbacks, right? Her relationship with property life. But yeah, I mean, it seems to me like. | 01:36:28 | |
That's the most common. | 01:36:34 | |
Use of an Eau you're going to get is. | 01:36:37 | |
Put in the nice apartment above the garage as opposed to the. | 01:36:40 | |
In the back, but we're still keeping it on larger parcels right this half acre. | 01:36:45 | |
Going up, they couldn't recover. It would be on any. | 01:36:50 | |
So what would assure the? | 01:36:59 | |
Maintaining graduated, Graduated high. | 01:37:03 | |
So and the next letter? Dresses. That plan Commission was to reduce the graduated height or accessory buildings. | 01:37:06 | |
So we'll get into that on the next one, but that would provide a lot of the control for that. | 01:37:15 | |
For the additional rate. | 01:37:21 | |
And really, that additional 5 feet is going to be this room. | 01:37:22 | |
So it avoids having a flat root structure. | 01:37:26 | |
Typically, people don't love. | 01:37:30 | |
Yeah, so it's. Yes, it's extra, right? So it's probably more acceptable visual heights than if they built a. | 01:37:40 | |
I mean my issue is if they build a. | 01:37:53 | |
Eadu. | 01:37:56 | |
Like they want to build a garage. | 01:37:58 | |
Of a 10,000 foot lot. | 01:38:00 | |
They're still going to have block coverage issues and set back issues. It's going to be hard to do anyway, right? | 01:38:03 | |
Just because having it. | 01:38:10 | |
But if they can, then they can. | 01:38:12 | |
Meet all their requirements. | 01:38:14 | |
Why would you want to? | 01:38:17 | |
Putting the EE 8. | 01:38:18 | |
The AU of the garage. | 01:38:20 | |
It's a good it's a good use of flash when you have garage that addresses your. We're still only talking about detached garages, | 01:38:24 | |
right? Because if it's attached, garage is not external. | 01:38:28 | |
Yeah, and then later we get to where the windows are and everything, because that was the other privacy issue that. | 01:38:33 | |
So I would agree with staff on that. | 01:38:38 | |
On the 25. | 01:38:41 | |
And you could still keep all accessory buildings at 20 feet, but that extra 5 foot bonus for the. | 01:38:43 | |
You're adding an accessory unit. | 01:38:50 | |
So keeping keeping toy. | 01:38:56 | |
25 or accessory buildings that have a unit they're going to if they're going to provide housing, right? Yeah. | 01:39:01 | |
Yeah, you look at garages today. Maybe you'll have something to build this. | 01:39:15 | |
2000 square foot garage but. | 01:39:30 | |
Likely 900 square feet, which is. | 01:39:32 | |
Let's see, did we hit all the points on that? | 01:39:42 | |
I think so. I just want to make sure that I understand. So currently they can go 20, but what you're recommending is 25 for the | 01:39:45 | |
pitch group like that's. | 01:39:49 | |
Sorry, one text on here. | 01:39:59 | |
Looks like we've got what? Three more? Four more? | 01:40:02 | |
We can get through them. | 01:40:05 | |
Lot coverage, super easy, so we just added. | 01:40:08 | |
A reference to lock coverage compliance code. | 01:40:12 | |
2nd floor windows. | 01:40:16 | |
Our current code did not include any language about second floor windows. | 01:40:18 | |
The new changes have. | 01:40:23 | |
Address windows on the rear and side property lines for a second floor. | 01:40:26 | |
Windows. | 01:40:31 | |
So if you have. | 01:40:33 | |
Safety cash garage living unit above it on the second floor. | 01:40:35 | |
If you're. | 01:40:40 | |
Within 10 feet of a property line, then your windows have to be at least six feet off the ground. | 01:40:42 | |
Or on the floor of that second, so that accounts for some windows as opposed to. | 01:40:49 | |
Yeah. And that that would be applicable just on career anti property. | 01:40:57 | |
OK. | 01:41:05 | |
I didn't realize that was in there. I'm sorry. That's OK That's going to create a problem with building code compliance you can't | 01:41:08 | |
have. | 01:41:11 | |
Right. If you have bedrooms, you have to have. | 01:41:17 | |
So they might have to find me. | 01:41:22 | |
You know, you got to have that, and I think it's maybe it's Windows that open. | 01:41:25 | |
So you have to have. | 01:41:32 | |
You have to have an honorable window for building code. | 01:41:34 | |
That is awesome and I'm just wondering if. | 01:41:37 | |
What's the? I think this could probably match the primary structure, so requirements as opposed to being. | 01:41:44 | |
And because you've got a primary structure, that's. | 01:41:50 | |
No, Messiah, you've gotten a 10 foot right, and those windows don't have to be over 6 feet, right? Right. So can we sort of just | 01:41:53 | |
match? | 01:41:58 | |
Primary window regulation What do we need to do with ADUS for Windows? | 01:42:04 | |
To be different just from the primary structure. The presenters build their house at that point anyways, yeah. | 01:42:10 | |
And I'm not sure if we need. | 01:42:15 | |
This once we're looking at the graduated height, because if we're only looking at windows around the 2nd floor, what would the | 01:42:17 | |
reduced graduated height? It pushes the building, Pushes it back anyway could go that distance anyway, penalizing the Edu. I think | 01:42:24 | |
it's an unnecessary rate. | 01:42:31 | |
All right. Graduated heights. So currently we don't have any. | 01:42:41 | |
Reference to graduated code. | 01:42:49 | |
Existing is 8 feet and I think everyone is familiar with my graduated night works. Please explain it. I just want to make sure | 01:42:53 | |
that what I yeah so. | 01:42:59 | |
You take at the property line, you go up 8 feet, so it's like putting the fence of eight feet on the property line and then it's a | 01:43:05 | |
45° angle over from that 8 foot mark. | 01:43:10 | |
And that is your intersection point. | 01:43:16 | |
So naturally with your angle, the closer your building gets, the shorter it has to be. So you have to move your building way | 01:43:19 | |
further. | 01:43:23 | |
To increase an eggs, right? | 01:43:27 | |
And is that really standard code? | 01:43:29 | |
Across most like. | 01:43:32 | |
Is that very unique holiday or is that something? | 01:43:34 | |
It was. | 01:43:40 | |
Mill Creek copied our code. | 01:43:44 | |
For their Marcus residential. | 01:43:47 | |
Building is normally traditionally when it's called. | 01:43:56 | |
What's the difference between this and the graduated height of a regular house? So the regular house would be 8 feet. Proposed | 01:44:02 | |
language reduces that to six feet for an accessory building or for a. | 01:44:10 | |
Accessory. | 01:44:18 | |
So you can see the difference that that makes on. I gave a couple of examples. | 01:44:21 | |
If you have a. | 01:44:27 | |
Accessory building that has a 5 foot set back. | 01:44:29 | |
And that six foot graduated height. | 01:44:32 | |
Your intersection point is 11 feet. | 01:44:35 | |
So you're 11 or single level? | 01:44:38 | |
With that, so you'd have to move further away. | 01:44:42 | |
To get up to a second floor anyway. | 01:44:46 | |
So if you want 18 feet of wall height for two levels. | 01:44:48 | |
Your structure is going to be 12 feet off the property line, naturally. | 01:44:53 | |
So it just keeps you from getting too intrusive to your neighbor. So is that more restrictive than if it was? | 01:44:58 | |
Yes. | 01:45:07 | |
To be the same if that six wouldn't have to be, would just be 8 to 8. | 01:45:09 | |
Is it necessary? | 01:45:14 | |
So did the staff have an issue with that? | 01:45:18 | |
I think that was something that they brought up. | 01:45:21 | |
The geometry doesn't work for these smaller buildings. For bigger buildings it works because you have bigger setbacks. | 01:45:27 | |
So because it's. | 01:45:33 | |
One foot up for one foot in. | 01:45:36 | |
If you have the five foot set back. | 01:45:39 | |
Comes out to 11 feet. | 01:45:41 | |
That's barely your first floor. | 01:45:43 | |
That's fairly a garage. | 01:45:46 | |
Usually the top of your garage is 13 feet. | 01:45:49 | |
So then you start immediately moving it away just to make your garage work. | 01:45:52 | |
But that is also a very common complaint that we get from people, neighboring residents of oh, there's this really big structure, | 01:45:58 | |
so. | 01:46:03 | |
For the when we back up the week. | 01:46:09 | |
Talked about the. | 01:46:12 | |
The foot. | 01:46:15 | |
Right as the rubber stamp. | 01:46:17 | |
And unless that is additional use is that we decided on that one. I can't track. What do we decide on that? | 01:46:19 | |
Anything closer is initially okay, so then we want this to. | 01:46:26 | |
How to be synchronous with that right, So if the Planning Commission approves something closer? | 01:46:32 | |
This will still apply in very much restrict the height of that building, so we probably want to have. | 01:46:40 | |
The rubber stamp synchronous, but then the conditional uses. | 01:46:48 | |
Then the geometric. | 01:46:53 | |
They will be so hard to administer in this kind of a format because. | 01:47:01 | |
The law requires we have objective standards. | 01:47:10 | |
To guide your condition to use and. It says that if the conditions can be substantially mitigated, they're entitled to the | 01:47:14 | |
condition. | 01:47:18 | |
Right. And that. | 01:47:22 | |
Substantial mitigate means is. | 01:47:24 | |
Not certain enough for me to feel like you're going to get results that are. | 01:47:28 | |
A predictable BE. | 01:47:34 | |
Truly mitigating. | 01:47:37 | |
In most cases and I think you could end up with a lot of challenges on that, so. | 01:47:39 | |
I think you would look. | 01:47:44 | |
Better at ordinances that have exception standards. | 01:47:45 | |
Like your set back is 10 feet unless. | 01:47:49 | |
Your Adu is. | 01:47:52 | |
Bad enough against it not having the structure. | 01:47:54 | |
You know your set back on the side is. | 01:47:59 | |
15 feet. | 01:48:01 | |
You're going to have, I think you're looking, more exceptions in the air conditioning uses. | 01:48:08 | |
If you want to have. | 01:48:12 | |
Enforceable ordinance. | 01:48:14 | |
That will work. | 01:48:16 | |
And that's hard. It's going to be complex, but I think that's a better approach than conditional use. So when you talk about the | 01:48:18 | |
simple standard. | 01:48:21 | |
Rubber stamp or. | 01:48:25 | |
I think instead of conditional use approach you probably be talking about, This is where you get a rubber stamp. | 01:48:28 | |
Here's the exceptions. So we can push into some of those areas or go up or. | 01:48:33 | |
Whatever that might be. | 01:48:39 | |
Right. So then that backs up. | 01:48:41 | |
Instead of doing the initial use for the less than 10. | 01:48:45 | |
We've got to delineate what are the circumstances where you can go less than 10. I think that's a better approach for you, which | 01:48:50 | |
is, which is essentially just the way to stack it in the 1st place. Sure, the 25% instead of the 10. | 01:48:56 | |
You want to backpack that then? | 01:49:04 | |
Go back to the. | 01:49:06 | |
1st we were thinking about doing that. 10 is how it counted uninhabitable. | 01:49:09 | |
Scenario. I mean, there are different things you can do, yeah, that's one obviously, right. | 01:49:14 | |
Garage sort of on their back property line. I want to put an Edu back there. | 01:49:20 | |
You know it's not having the structure. It's not. | 01:49:26 | |
Looks like like. | 01:49:31 | |
I think the additional use process because the legal standard is. | 01:49:35 | |
Unless the conditions can be substantially mitigated, it has to be granted. | 01:49:38 | |
You're going to have problems administering that overtime. | 01:49:42 | |
I think you will. | 01:49:45 | |
End up with the situation where Planning Commission motion that looks something to say no. | 01:49:47 | |
But legally they're going to be entitled because it's not. | 01:49:53 | |
Holy made it. She actually made it. We don't know what that means. Presumptions generally run. | 01:49:56 | |
To the property owners and free use of land and not the regulating agency, I just think it gets to be. | 01:50:01 | |
Less secure method of. | 01:50:07 | |
So you open up the conditional use door, it's just going to be opened and I really feel like it's going to end up being that way. | 01:50:10 | |
Do you feel like that's also the case with the box size? | 01:50:15 | |
Because we had talked about using that, so. | 01:50:21 | |
If you can have any of you. | 01:50:24 | |
10,000 feet. If you're less than that, it's a conditional use. | 01:50:27 | |
He's like, that's the same thing where we need to. | 01:50:30 | |
If you can set objective standards for conditional use. In that case, I like it a little better than some of the dimensional | 01:50:33 | |
controls. | 01:50:36 | |
But it still presents the same kind of legal problem. | 01:50:40 | |
It's not any different in the analysis, big picture. | 01:50:43 | |
And ordinances with all those exceptions are hard to write. | 01:50:47 | |
From the state's point of view. | 01:50:53 | |
They're considering accessory dwelling units. | 01:50:55 | |
Across the world by right. | 01:50:58 | |
Do you think cities are going to start moving toward conditional situations are going to be targeted? | 01:51:00 | |
Yeah, they do. And I've heard no. | 01:51:05 | |
I haven't heard any discussion of the external Adu stuff. | 01:51:08 | |
I heard whispers of it. | 01:51:13 | |
The same year discussion. | 01:51:16 | |
But I have heard much about the external. | 01:51:18 | |
So we're looking at. | 01:51:23 | |
Exception could be. | 01:51:28 | |
That it's the hard. | 01:51:30 | |
Building footprint size. | 01:51:33 | |
So, oh, that makes. | 01:51:35 | |
Yeah, so currently. | 01:51:36 | |
You have building footprint, all those smaller properties for accessory buildings and get 700 or 750 square feet. | 01:51:39 | |
So they no conditional use. | 01:51:46 | |
Permit for an accessory building size. | 01:51:49 | |
So you're it's hard limited to this. | 01:51:51 | |
On those lots, so that would meet Mr. Kent. | 01:51:56 | |
Exception, but it would also not create the conditional. | 01:51:59 | |
So you could pay a specific square footage for externally use on a lot smaller than 10,000 square feet. So that's setting a | 01:52:04 | |
standard instead of having it go to a conditional use. | 01:52:09 | |
So back to this one. | 01:52:17 | |
Are you saying that the six? | 01:52:19 | |
Graduated high. | 01:52:23 | |
Isn't workable. | 01:52:25 | |
I don't think it is, architecturally. | 01:52:26 | |
I think it should be the same standard that is, yeah, for the rest of the prime rank regular. | 01:52:36 | |
But it still limits the height to 25 feet, right? And as they graduated and usually those R ones are. | 01:52:42 | |
What, 32 feet? | 01:52:49 | |
What's in our one height? | 01:52:51 | |
What is it the same for? | 01:52:55 | |
15,035. | 01:53:01 | |
But regardless, that's going to be capped at 25. | 01:53:05 | |
Well, we just have to. | 01:53:11 | |
The planning would have to go against Planning Commission recommendation, 16 said they said look. | 01:53:13 | |
Fake things it's not. | 01:53:19 | |
They were trying to accomplish. | 01:53:22 | |
Making sure that it's. | 01:53:28 | |
Put in prayer, Ashley. | 01:53:30 | |
So the the 80s can still do that? | 01:53:33 | |
Because that's what we run into, particularly if we. | 01:53:38 | |
Can. | 01:53:49 | |
With the 8 foot intersection. | 01:53:50 | |
Is that an additional? | 01:53:53 | |
Yeah, just their recognition is to have a. | 01:53:56 | |
Yeah. | 01:54:07 | |
All right, this is the section on conversion of existing accessory buildings. | 01:54:17 | |
Yes, last one. | 01:54:24 | |
So. | 01:54:27 | |
When we looked at it and said OK, here are some potential issues that existing. | 01:54:28 | |
Accessory buildings may have that we need to. | 01:54:34 | |
They don't hear any standards. | 01:54:37 | |
Will your accessory building that you're converting these standards? | 01:54:39 | |
If not, how are they going to be addressed? | 01:54:43 | |
And Planning Commission. | 01:54:48 | |
They were wary. | 01:54:51 | |
Converting. They recognize that there's probably a lot of. | 01:54:53 | |
Measures that are right next to property lines. | 01:54:57 | |
Solid county work. There's much smaller than what they are currently. | 01:55:02 | |
So they just said, you know, right? | 01:55:06 | |
We're not comfortable with. | 01:55:09 | |
Temporary existing existing accessory structures. | 01:55:11 | |
So we didn't even get into discussing. | 01:55:15 | |
Any of the standards that were. | 01:55:19 | |
So you sat you basically saying if. | 01:55:22 | |
You've got if you've got an accessory building out there. | 01:55:25 | |
If it doesn't meet the standards we've discussed previously, it can't be if there's no exceptions. | 01:55:29 | |
They don't have an entitled right to convert that to grandfather. | 01:55:34 | |
So, but if you're requiring that they need to set back requirements, then what was the planning commissions concern? | 01:55:40 | |
So there was. | 01:55:49 | |
Because you said you've got to meet holidays so existing, I see what you're seeing. Structures might not meet the setbacks. | 01:55:52 | |
So the standards that are proposed in the. | 01:56:01 | |
Code or if it doesn't meet the setback standards that you have to provide mitigation. | 01:56:05 | |
With landscaping. | 01:56:11 | |
Or other? | 01:56:14 | |
So how about the Windows? | 01:56:15 | |
Adding now adding. | 01:56:18 | |
And that would be another problem issue. | 01:56:21 | |
I wonder if we do. | 01:56:33 | |
Maybe put a pin in this one? | 01:56:34 | |
Hurt now because it does feel like it could be more complicated and move ahead with the other ones. | 01:56:38 | |
I don't know or. | 01:56:44 | |
Some of them like that are. | 01:56:48 | |
Really straightforward, easy. But then you get into your. | 01:56:49 | |
Bigger ones are. | 01:56:54 | |
Setbacks. | 01:56:57 | |
So which ones do you cover? Spouse? | 01:57:00 | |
Which ones do you feel like are straightforward? | 01:57:02 | |
Once we're on there and just the clean up language, those are. | 01:57:07 | |
That makes sense. Yeah, that makes sense. I'd be OK with that. | 01:57:11 | |
The conversion is a little bit. | 01:57:17 | |
For here. | 01:57:20 | |
That might I just having a larger discussion about here standards are here. Are there some sort of standards that were not? | 01:57:22 | |
They were talking about what exceptions would be willing to make to rights. | 01:57:31 | |
Building it next. | 01:57:36 | |
EADU, right. Relative to converting, I think I'm OK with the Planning Commission. | 01:57:38 | |
Make exceptions for existing structure you got to meet. | 01:57:45 | |
Standard for dwelling unit regardless of what's already there. | 01:57:48 | |
Are there examples where you're thinking that this one should? | 01:57:55 | |
We do have applications like that. | 01:57:59 | |
Where somebody has a shed that they want to convert. | 01:58:04 | |
Their conversion is going to be small building code standards, but. | 01:58:08 | |
Looking at a dwelling unit impact that might have smaller setbacks than what the standards for a new accessory. | 01:58:13 | |
Right. | 01:58:20 | |
Using a sarcastic example, this would be existing, but would be converted even though it's already set up as living space. | 01:58:21 | |
Some people may have like a school house or. | 01:58:28 | |
Studio office that they've already built, but it's not. | 01:58:32 | |
They can't use. | 01:58:36 | |
Living space or a rental units? | 01:58:38 | |
Why would we want to approve that if it doesn't need? | 01:58:42 | |
The standards that we're putting in place right here. | 01:58:46 | |
And that's, that's what what we looked at, OK. | 01:58:49 | |
Converting versus. | 01:58:53 | |
Maybe we just previously the standards on what are existing. | 01:58:55 | |
Is and that. | 01:59:00 | |
Addresses the problem in it. | 01:59:03 | |
Different way. | 01:59:04 | |
You know what? I worry about someone. | 01:59:05 | |
With a plan who? | 01:59:10 | |
Wants to have a plan for an E Adu. | 01:59:13 | |
But that doesn't need standards, so they build the building. It's just an accessory building that's not a dwelling unit. Only then | 01:59:16 | |
use the exceptions and do it in phases. So. | 01:59:23 | |
I know that there's at least one permit where. | 01:59:30 | |
They wanted to do an accessory dwelling unit, but. | 01:59:34 | |
Their foundation was born much closer than that extra 25% that's required. | 01:59:39 | |
So that would disqualify them so it has a better kitchen. | 01:59:44 | |
All the space that you have for like a rental unit, so. | 01:59:49 | |
Likely use it for some sort of temporary living space, but. | 01:59:52 | |
It doesn't mean the standards by. | 01:59:58 | |
So they're conversion incorrect, yeah? | 02:00:04 | |
Conversion is. | 02:00:07 | |
I think it is. You can convert it. | 02:00:09 | |
I think we need to address it. I'm just wondering if maybe not right now. | 02:00:16 | |
Yeah, especially if all of your concerns are set back. | 02:00:22 | |
Highly massing related. | 02:00:26 | |
To use the existing building then. | 02:00:28 | |
So get get it done. | 02:00:34 | |
Comfortable with right now. | 02:00:36 | |
Get codified and then if we want to revisit this piece of it later and do that, it's unfortunate that that's the most | 02:00:38 | |
approachable, most affordable way to create. | 02:00:43 | |
Right, I know that it bypasses all the concerns we're trying to put in code right now. | 02:00:51 | |
And allows a path for future, bypassing it by calling just an accessory unless then converting it to. Unless it works not. | 02:00:57 | |
Allow it for structures to. | 02:01:07 | |
You know, as an accessory that we'll go. | 02:01:09 | |
You know to catch the grandfather case, anything that would build after that implementation. | 02:01:11 | |
Where it's, you know, then you don't have. | 02:01:16 | |
People trying to workout. | 02:01:19 | |
Questions. Do we? | 02:01:22 | |
We want how much Grandfather would be doing. | 02:01:24 | |
I mean, that's the point, yeah. | 02:01:28 | |
Well, or do we allow it? | 02:01:30 | |
Can meet all of the setbacks if they have, so if they have a. | 02:01:34 | |
Situation where they meet all the other requirements, we can go ahead with that and then they have all these other exceptions, so | 02:01:38 | |
we don't allow for those for now. | 02:01:42 | |
Could be an incremental approach. You already need the standards, then let's go ahead with that. But if you don't meet the | 02:01:47 | |
standards, let's just. | 02:01:51 | |
I don't know which I think that. | 02:01:56 | |
Issue is converting buildings that don't. | 02:02:00 | |
Standard that we don't have to look at and convert it, they said. To meet the safety requirements, the pipe requirement. | 02:02:04 | |
Something in place that violates setbacks who graduated high? | 02:02:15 | |
Then they want to convert it. I don't think we want to allow that, do we? | 02:02:20 | |
So increasing with the implementation of when the current or. | 02:02:23 | |
Have you ever seen that like when the existing code percent of X because you'll have Salt Lake County code which is. | 02:02:29 | |
Some of those are one foot step back or less up until the 60s, so whatever. | 02:02:35 | |
Our existing setbacks. | 02:02:41 | |
Went into place. | 02:02:43 | |
That could be a comparable place of. | 02:02:44 | |
OK, this is the known set back. | 02:02:47 | |
Can you say if you qualify under all current setbacks? | 02:02:51 | |
Go ahead. | 02:02:58 | |
They just might not need the extra 25%. | 02:03:03 | |
For. | 02:03:08 | |
That would be one that's like. | 02:03:11 | |
OK. Is that something that's? | 02:03:13 | |
That's usually like a difference of one to two feet. | 02:03:16 | |
If it already needs that additional 25%. | 02:03:19 | |
But that could be like one bigger cat if. | 02:03:25 | |
If you're going to conversion. | 02:03:28 | |
And it just needs the standard accessory building. | 02:03:30 | |
You're going to mitigate that? | 02:03:37 | |
Encroachment of one to two feet. | 02:03:39 | |
By. | 02:03:43 | |
Different conditionally use world though, right? | 02:03:52 | |
Not if you put specific standards in. | 02:03:56 | |
So do we have enough to? | 02:04:00 | |
Update what we have to bring it to a vote. | 02:04:04 | |
I mean, I think what we need to do is probably make the update based on the input you've received. | 02:04:10 | |
It great back to work session going through it again. | 02:04:15 | |
A little bit on a few things and then we can, because we can kind of come back and maybe think about some of this a little bit to | 02:04:20 | |
talk about again on the 25th. | 02:04:25 | |
Look at what updates you make based on the input you've received on all these individual items. | 02:04:30 | |
And then decide if we want to. | 02:04:35 | |
If it's ready to go to vote or not. But again, I don't think there's a big hurry to get this, I vote, so I think we should make | 02:04:38 | |
sure we're really comfortable with this because. | 02:04:41 | |
It goes into place. I think it's to generate a lot. | 02:04:46 | |
And I think staff needs to think about it too, like. | 02:04:49 | |
What problems might this create for us? Do we need to make any tweaks before we? | 02:04:53 | |
Put it out for a vote. Is it after everything we've talked about today, if you guys have any concerns that you think of later | 02:04:58 | |
where you're like? | 02:05:02 | |
That you might want to consider these things I would be interested in knowing. | 02:05:07 | |
What those are with what we've recommended, OK, yeah, I mean, as long as they're not really substantial. | 02:05:10 | |
Go against the original application. I think we can do that. | 02:05:17 | |
Things we have to go back to applying on that last one, I would suggest. | 02:05:20 | |
Doing a secular traffic the way that you were thinking to accommodate those were built before that happens one to two foot kind of | 02:05:25 | |
a thing. | 02:05:28 | |
Bringing up like that, we could. | 02:05:31 | |
How many times we should be able to burn through everything relatively quickly? I think we have time to discuss that one. I agree | 02:05:33 | |
more, but but do it give give us what you think about, I guess that's what I would say. | 02:05:38 | |
Yeah, I think we can get. | 02:05:44 | |
I think we got a lot of clarification on issues that we had between staff and Planning Commission here. | 02:05:45 | |
Finalized, right. So we can. | 02:05:51 | |
Red lined into the code. | 02:05:54 | |
And review it again on the 25th and then. | 02:05:56 | |
See if there's any tweak we want to make and then work towards getting into a vote, whatever that is. | 02:05:59 | |
It's the 2nd grade if it's the. | 02:06:04 | |
June or 16th, right. I mean, I don't think there's any Russian we want to be right. Just one question. Overall, the premises | 02:06:07 | |
conditional use permits. | 02:06:11 | |
For situations are you? | 02:06:16 | |
Now or let's. | 02:06:18 | |
I want to follow Todd's advice regarding We'd rather get exceptions. | 02:06:20 | |
Into the language rather than the option of a conditional, use. | 02:06:27 | |
As a preference. | 02:06:32 | |
And I recognize we don't want to create law around anyone person but. | 02:06:34 | |
Would we meet Mr. Kemp's? | 02:06:37 | |
With what we've talked about today would. | 02:06:40 | |
He'd be able to. | 02:06:42 | |
Yeah, I'm going to take the overall purpose is. | 02:06:44 | |
That perspective of. | 02:06:47 | |
Opportunity for adding an external Edu. | 02:06:50 | |
That is contextual based on a property, so it's. | 02:06:53 | |
If you have a single family home. | 02:06:58 | |
How can you build an external EU? | 02:07:01 | |
Even if your property is smaller compared to somebody that was larger. | 02:07:05 | |
You just practice proportionately and I think that's. | 02:07:09 | |
Looking at it from. | 02:07:14 | |
Perfect. Great kind of perspective giving that opportunity to any president. | 02:07:15 | |
Once you pursue it and make it work, so having standards in a way. Thank you. | 02:07:20 | |
For the work on this. | 02:07:34 | |
Hey Tina, you are you turned into a pumpkin? | 02:07:39 | |
Yeah, this is a little past my bedtime, but I just wanted to share. | 02:07:47 | |
Where budget preparation is at this point. | 02:07:52 | |
And address a question that bothering him had asked that our retreat, which was. | 02:07:57 | |
Let's think about that kind of study. | 02:08:04 | |
Idea And how does that relate to this year's budget? | 02:08:10 | |
So I'm looking for some feedback on some specific questions from you. | 02:08:14 | |
And just want to share again, this is a chart we looked at in our retreat. | 02:08:19 | |
About the slowdown of sales tax growth. | 02:08:25 | |
So we've had tremendous growth over the last. | 02:08:30 | |
Well, since the middle of fiscal 20. | 02:08:34 | |
And that has slowed down with another month of data. | 02:08:39 | |
Representing January. | 02:08:43 | |
We've seen that slowdown continue. So we were within 10,000 dollars of our budget projection. | 02:08:46 | |
And at this point, we're still showing trending a little under our budget. | 02:08:53 | |
So based on the direction you gave me at the retreat and whole thing sales tax. | 02:08:57 | |
Study for next year's budgets. | 02:09:02 | |
The next slide just shows you where the CPI has been. | 02:09:06 | |
Since the last time you increased taxes in June of 21. | 02:09:13 | |
So looking at year over year? | 02:09:21 | |
June 21 to May 22, that was 8.3%. | 02:09:25 | |
CPI Growth. | 02:09:32 | |
4.1% from June of 22 to May of 23 and then so far June 23 through March. | 02:09:34 | |
Of 24, we're at about 2.9%. If we continue for the April, May and June, we'll probably end up about 4% growth. | 02:09:43 | |
Pretty sounding 3 year 15% increase in inflation. A little shocked just looking at month by month calculations. So Bureau of Labor | 02:09:54 | |
Statistics has another tool that lets you compare. | 02:10:02 | |
What would? | 02:10:11 | |
$1000. | 02:10:13 | |
Bought you in a particular month. | 02:10:15 | |
Compared to current day and that. | 02:10:18 | |
Just a little bit more, So 1000, sorry. OK, $1000 in June of 21 you need. | 02:10:23 | |
$11149 to have the same impact, which is 15%. | 02:10:34 | |
So that's where we are over three years in terms of inflation. So hang on to all of that data for a moment as I show you where we | 02:10:41 | |
are. | 02:10:46 | |
In terms of preliminary revenue, so I started with the approved budget. | 02:10:54 | |
For this year of just. | 02:10:59 | |
Slightly under $21 million. | 02:11:02 | |
Please note this is not comprehensive but just giving you an idea of where we are right now. | 02:11:06 | |
You see the sales tax increase and transportation sales tax increase. We are seeing a slight increase in transient room taxes. | 02:11:14 | |
We've added another hotel and we're having some balance back in. | 02:11:21 | |
Our existing hotels, I think that will be about $50,000. | 02:11:28 | |
Our Class C distribution, which went down slightly, seems to be rebounding, so I think we can. | 02:11:32 | |
And that's gas tax money. I think we can increase that by about $200,000. | 02:11:40 | |
That I'm looking at about $200,000 in interest income and it's just. | 02:11:46 | |
Given that's a. | 02:11:52 | |
Flip side of the interchange. | 02:11:54 | |
I'm glad you borrowed what we did. And so it's nice to just recognize this. So 100,000 in interest income and then we have, at | 02:11:58 | |
least at this point, segregated our Class C. | 02:12:04 | |
Revenue in a different PKF account and so I think it will be about 175 listing. | 02:12:14 | |
We're seeing additional. | 02:12:23 | |
Pardon me? | 02:12:25 | |
So we get that's a great question on our bond, I think we were under. | 02:12:28 | |
Toll. | 02:12:34 | |
We're seeing additional facilities rental. | 02:12:39 | |
City Hall rentals, I think we can add 10,000 there. More people are switching to Google Fiber and we get 2% of that revenue per | 02:12:44 | |
agreement. | 02:12:48 | |
We had budgeted previously about 20,000 and it's coming in closer to 60, so that next year. | 02:12:54 | |
She returned to traffic school, small increase there and then I'm recognizing that public health grant on the operational side | 02:13:01 | |
that you approved earlier this evening. | 02:13:06 | |
So overall, I think that's about $600,000 in general fund revenue increases. | 02:13:12 | |
You want to go to the next slide. | 02:13:21 | |
OK, South side. | 02:13:24 | |
That's it. | 02:13:32 | |
That's right. That's right. | 02:13:38 | |
So sharing some changes that we're anticipating at this point. | 02:13:41 | |
Paul mentioned the increase of 6.7%. | 02:13:48 | |
Increase of 6 .7% in UFA. | 02:13:53 | |
We don't have a firm number yet, but just 6.7% based on our calculations. | 02:14:02 | |
Just under 200,000. | 02:14:08 | |
You'll remember we made a change earlier this year and how we're providing Emergency Management. | 02:14:11 | |
So this reflects the termination of that contract and the additional part time that he's about to actually saving, so that $8000. | 02:14:17 | |
A big number? | 02:14:27 | |
Next is what we're projecting for ADP increase. | 02:14:29 | |
And that is, again, not firm. | 02:14:36 | |
But a calculation A calculated increase in just under $800,000. | 02:14:40 | |
Is that based on 9/9 percent, based on the 10%, But I backed out our use of because if you just look at our budget number, that | 02:14:46 | |
reflects A reduction based on our use of fund balance last year. So this is. | 02:14:54 | |
This is total. | 02:15:02 | |
The cost of our contract would have been before that unbalance. | 02:15:06 | |
Usage and then the cost of our new contract. | 02:15:11 | |
I mean can we apply fund balance to that number? So yes, but you know one of the concerns we have. | 02:15:15 | |
Because we don't know how. | 02:15:29 | |
Our actual employees may end up shifting. | 02:15:32 | |
We need to have reserves. | 02:15:36 | |
If if we need to. | 02:15:39 | |
Make adjustments for for people departing and so that really comes in. | 02:15:42 | |
I wish we were in a different position to know what that use might be, but we're not. And so I'm trying to be conservative, I | 02:15:48 | |
think. | 02:15:52 | |
And I'm hoping the next. | 02:15:57 | |
I agree. That's the hard part, the compensated absences that we have to keep in reserve, so if somebody leaves, we pay on their | 02:16:03 | |
vacation. | 02:16:07 | |
You know, and then 25% are sick. | 02:16:12 | |
So if somebody does leave, even if somebody left and went to the county, let's say the county is just announced that they will | 02:16:14 | |
honor their Sydney balances based on the 25% whatever they have 80 over so. | 02:16:21 | |
I'm not. | 02:16:30 | |
I don't know I need. | 02:16:32 | |
It's really hard to say. | 02:16:33 | |
I think a lot of the people here at holiday are staying and I don't know that I would. | 02:16:35 | |
Anticipate many. | 02:16:40 | |
But we just don't know. That's a hard part, I mean. | 02:16:44 | |
I could have had people go with it. | 02:16:47 | |
You know and and. | 02:16:49 | |
It could really bring the contact. | 02:16:52 | |
How many new seats, you know, new positions that the county had to hire for what this changed? | 02:16:55 | |
Right now they're saying 87. | 02:17:02 | |
874874 | 02:17:06 | |
Yeah, they're not going to get there. That's a Yeah, that's a whole other. | 02:17:10 | |
We need about. | 02:17:15 | |
Half of those to go over. | 02:17:16 | |
To keep full staffing in place in EPD. | 02:17:20 | |
Which case question whether that thing could happen? I think there are bigger issues going to be. | 02:17:23 | |
Being stuck with 10 or 15 Fdes that we can't find spots for. | 02:17:31 | |
Forcing the, I mean basically, you know, starting to talk to them about you need to go to the Sheriff's Office, you know? | 02:17:38 | |
Right. | 02:17:44 | |
But yes, I don't. But we see that. Yeah, we don't know. But I think what you're saying is you'd rather. | 02:17:48 | |
You'd rather keep that power dry. | 02:17:54 | |
Until that issue clarifies. | 02:17:56 | |
And hopefully, hopefully we'll have some more clarification in the next few weeks and I can reduce that number from 76 to. | 02:17:59 | |
686, yeah. Yeah. | 02:18:10 | |
But in terms of the overall budget picture, it's not huge. What was that bottom line number? | 02:18:14 | |
So the bottom line of what our delta is. | 02:18:21 | |
Is that what you mean, 48? Yeah. So that's what I'm showing at this point because the difference. | 02:18:25 | |
Just a couple of changes I want to highlight for you. | 02:18:33 | |
In terms of our overall retirement? | 02:18:37 | |
System changes for most employees. | 02:18:43 | |
We're seeing a reduction in the retirement payments we make on our employees. | 02:18:47 | |
As a city, about $21. | 02:18:53 | |
It's because the system it has grown and is healthier than it was a year ago and so are actually already has been reduced. | 02:18:56 | |
In all of our systems. | 02:19:07 | |
The only caveat to that is that this is just a bit of history about our retirement systems, but employees that were invested | 02:19:10 | |
before July 1 of 20. | 02:19:16 | |
11 or part of the system called Sherwin and that is just straight pension, 2% per year. | 02:19:23 | |
Kind of based on a. | 02:19:31 | |
Employees hired after that they have a choice. They can either choose a. | 02:19:33 | |
401K option. | 02:19:38 | |
Or they can choose what is called a hybrid system that is a little bit tension, a little bit 401K. | 02:19:41 | |
And for those employees that are in the hybrid system? | 02:19:48 | |
Our portion is going to decrease, but. | 02:19:54 | |
You know those employees are going to be required to contribute. | 02:19:57 | |
To their own pension system. | 02:20:02 | |
This is the although the. | 02:20:07 | |
Rules have been in place since 2011. This is the first time they're going to work harder to contribute. That affects 10 of our | 02:20:09 | |
employees. | 02:20:13 | |
And so whatever increase we provide to them. | 02:20:20 | |
At this point. | 02:20:25 | |
They'll need to go and upper Senate. | 02:20:26 | |
Did any of those 10 fall within that one year window? Yeah, four of them. So we're talking to folks individually. I've sent out | 02:20:32 | |
information to employees and haven't gotten a lot of questions about it. | 02:20:40 | |
It's pretty small increase but I just wanted to highlight it for you because. | 02:20:49 | |
Legislative bodies across the state are trying to grapple with this because it creates this. | 02:20:55 | |
Inequity. There's a lot of inequity in ret. | 02:21:00 | |
Depending on when you were hired. | 02:21:05 | |
But. | 02:21:08 | |
There are a couple of solutions that folks have looked at. | 02:21:11 | |
One is you give. | 02:21:14 | |
An additional 1% just to those Tier 2 hybrid employees? | 02:21:16 | |
Which I think then would create a whole other problem with your compensation system. | 02:21:23 | |
The other option people have looked at is something we already do, which is provide a match for everyone up to 5% in your 401K. So | 02:21:28 | |
if people are contributing to their 401K will match it. | 02:21:34 | |
And that's something we already do. | 02:21:42 | |
So from my perspective I wouldn't recommend any changes, but you may be hearing about this issue from colleagues and just wanted | 02:21:44 | |
to. | 02:21:48 | |
Next policy that I'd love some guidance on is. | 02:21:56 | |
A cost of living adjustment? What's an appropriate level? | 02:22:02 | |
What I've included right now is a 4% cost of living adjustment. | 02:22:05 | |
And looking at other cities. | 02:22:12 | |
You know, that looks like the range people are looking at, somewhere between 3 and 6%. | 02:22:15 | |
Combined. | 02:22:22 | |
Merits in many cases are automatic. Yeah, so like. | 02:22:30 | |
Cottonwood Heights, Midvale Wolf Have Merits. | 02:22:39 | |
Have a 2% merit, so every year you stay work at 2% and then they have colas. | 02:22:42 | |
And when I asked them who doesn't get married? | 02:22:48 | |
They basically say. | 02:22:51 | |
Everybody gets married. | 02:22:54 | |
So merit and cola are the same. So they say, well, we're only doing it. | 02:22:55 | |
3% cola. | 02:23:00 | |
2% merit, right. So you're getting 5%. | 02:23:02 | |
And so I consider them to be saying we don't do merit in all of it. | 02:23:06 | |
So I think 4% is going to be kind of the. | 02:23:12 | |
Landing spot most of we're going to be on some 85% with merits and. | 02:23:17 | |
Just kind of imagine inflation exactly. It seems really consistent. | 02:23:23 | |
Do we do zero merit period across the board like if there's if there's certain but we didn't market adjustment periodic but not | 02:23:28 | |
merit which is the automatic year, an extra year that's one more year of experience to get tax? | 02:23:35 | |
So we have in terms of market adjustments, I've just included a placeholder. | 02:23:43 | |
Of 30,000 as we looked at our employees. Broad strokes. | 02:23:50 | |
Across the board, for the most part. | 02:23:55 | |
We have we're right on money for most of the missions. | 02:23:58 | |
We have a couple of exceptions that we'll talk about next. | 02:24:03 | |
Next week, but that is just a placeholder number in that subject to. | 02:24:08 | |
I think we've done a better job of staying on top of that and trying to. We made some pretty big adjustments the last few years of | 02:24:16 | |
people that we thought were out of. | 02:24:20 | |
Out of range and so now it's just more of. | 02:24:25 | |
Maintaining that. | 02:24:29 | |
And then see what happens in the market with certain positions. It's a tough market. | 02:24:30 | |
We've done a pretty good job with that. | 02:24:36 | |
Health insurance changes that. That increases just under 5%. | 02:24:40 | |
So our share of that increase is 21. | 02:24:46 | |
On the other side I'm showing based on the work of both. | 02:24:52 | |
Justice and Joe in advancing her GIS. | 02:25:00 | |
I'm pausing that position that you had funded for GIS and this last year and shouldn't action there and then kind of on the flip | 02:25:05 | |
side assuming that we're. | 02:25:10 | |
We're likely to move forward with the spring lighting, I am assuming. | 02:25:17 | |
Seven months. | 02:25:22 | |
Of an additional parks and facility. | 02:25:23 | |
Likely to be hired for. | 02:25:26 | |
Staff, We're staff there. | 02:25:30 | |
At this point, I really think we are something John and I have talked about is that if, if. | 02:25:39 | |
That. | 02:25:46 | |
That would change. That might be a market adjustment. | 02:25:50 | |
But at this point, I think we're comfortable holding off. | 02:25:59 | |
So overall. | 02:26:05 | |
Again, brought strokes. I don't have anything programmed. And yet for I guess we were to leave the still thing we needed to rent | 02:26:08 | |
space. There are other things, other changes. | 02:26:13 | |
An additional, and it just occurred to me, is. | 02:26:20 | |
I think. | 02:26:25 | |
At an additional 5 ish $1000 for post transfer to the Arts Council for some content series that's just based on information. Love | 02:26:28 | |
to give a sense of whether the council is supported with that and that would increase as well. | 02:26:36 | |
But. | 02:26:45 | |
That's kind of where we are on the expense side and that creates a gap revenue to expenses of about 150. | 02:26:47 | |
So you kind of over like detailed, but if you're looking big picture 10,000 feet if somebody'd. | 02:26:56 | |
If I need to explain in under a minute to somebody. | 02:27:03 | |
Why we're talking about? | 02:27:06 | |
Whatever I mean, to summarize it, it seems to me that inflation. | 02:27:10 | |
And the restructuring of up? | 02:27:16 | |
If I give those answers, that feels like things that people can get their hands around, but I want to make sure that that's I | 02:27:19 | |
think that's right. And that is exactly how I phrase the next part of the conversation. | 02:27:25 | |
Which is what we do about this cap so. | 02:27:32 | |
There are some choices that you could look at. | 02:27:37 | |
If you didn't want to look at an increase to international inflation, you could look at a decrease in our transfer, our ongoing | 02:27:41 | |
transfer capital projects fund. | 02:27:47 | |
Last year we transferred, in the current year we transferred about $1.2 million. You could look at reducing that. We have a | 02:27:53 | |
healthy fund balance and capital projects. | 02:27:58 | |
We have a number of projects lined up, but you could pause that transfer or reduce that transfer. | 02:28:03 | |
You could use general fund fund balance. I wouldn't recommend that, but that is an option that's available to you. | 02:28:11 | |
We could look at some expense side reductions. | 02:28:18 | |
I'm not going to get very far with that, but, you know, maybe we could, we could postpone. | 02:28:21 | |
Some studies there are. | 02:28:27 | |
For a few pockets we could look at, I don't think we'd get much beyond. | 02:28:30 | |
$150,000 that's kind of the range I think we could look at without. | 02:28:36 | |
Looking at staff, but that option is better available to you. | 02:28:41 | |
Or we could look at a. | 02:28:46 | |
A heart attack increase. | 02:28:50 | |
So we talked about the inflation rate being about 15%. | 02:28:53 | |
That's accumulated over three years. It is. | 02:29:01 | |
So you could look at it strictly from an inflation standpoint. | 02:29:04 | |
You could look at it from a public safety standpoint, so if you were. | 02:29:09 | |
Some cities, and I think Mill Creek is an example of a city that does this, that ties their property tax. | 02:29:23 | |
To their UK contribution. | 02:29:30 | |
So you could look at it strictly from that percentage that would be about a 10%. | 02:29:32 | |
So basically their property tax is. | 02:29:42 | |
Is tied directly to you. | 02:29:46 | |
So as that. | 02:29:49 | |
Dollar per dollar or percentage per percentage. | 02:29:51 | |
I don't know the answer to it. I think it's dollar for dollar. I think it's whatever the dollar because if you look at our | 02:29:55 | |
property tax right now, it would about. | 02:29:59 | |
Align with DPD card, so that's their justification. So. | 02:30:04 | |
They'll go out every year for truth in taxation and. | 02:30:10 | |
And increase their property tax by that percent, 6% or 8% or 10%. | 02:30:14 | |
But in this case, over a three-year period, they would probably have raised their property taxes. | 02:30:19 | |
25% fifteen. | 02:30:24 | |
Details going to have to offer 40% tax increase. | 02:30:27 | |
Government that the. | 02:30:31 | |
Philosophy. | 02:30:32 | |
But 48 percent, 40%, yeah, because ours is 50% after 20 years. | 02:30:36 | |
Yeah. We've only had one and it was 50 that was the 50%. The other. The other piece to this is. | 02:30:42 | |
When we went through the whole process. | 02:30:50 | |
Tax increase with our residents. | 02:30:53 | |
The consultants basically said. | 02:30:56 | |
Look, we think the proper way to do that and the tech and who's the watchdogs, Taxpayers Association actually worked our tax | 02:31:02 | |
increase, believe it or not. | 02:31:08 | |
But they said really the way we'd like you to do this is not the way you're doing that. It's every three or four or five years | 02:31:14 | |
still out because property tax is a revenue based system, so. | 02:31:19 | |
It stays flat until you go through a truth in taxation. | 02:31:25 | |
So they would rather have you do something like this, which we haven't done. | 02:31:29 | |
Since we raised taxes because. | 02:31:33 | |
We had such, we had such growth in our sales tax that we just didn't feel justified in going out and asking. | 02:31:36 | |
For more property types of that use so that's part of it. So, but I think Gene is right. | 02:31:43 | |
We could bite the bullet this year and say hey. | 02:31:48 | |
Understand inflation's been high. It's tough, but we've got. | 02:31:51 | |
Issues we're trying to address. | 02:31:56 | |
And funding ongoing expenses using general fund dollars, even though we have a healthy fund balance rather. | 02:31:58 | |
Is not really the way you should operate. You should. | 02:32:07 | |
Under ongoing with ongoing revenues. | 02:32:13 | |
We also have a look at our capital improvement budget. I mean, we could reduce our capital. | 02:32:16 | |
Look at our capital improvements and say we're just not going to be able to do as much. | 02:32:21 | |
Which is actually what got us into this problem in the 1st place, because. | 02:32:25 | |
We ended up robbing that account to balance our budget for 20 years. So deferred maintenance essentially, right? Yeah. The other | 02:32:29 | |
issue too is political and how people feel about the next year is going to be an election year. | 02:32:34 | |
And then you have to go out for property tax and somebody uses that as ammunition, which I don't think is really proper, but. | 02:32:41 | |
Yeah, so anyway, So what does? | 02:32:49 | |
In terms of a sensitivity analysis, what? | 02:32:53 | |
What is a 5% increase block? | 02:32:56 | |
Generate. That's a great question. So I look I so 7 1/2% generates about 5:50. So a 700. I'm sorry, a 7.5% increase in copy taxes | 02:33:00 | |
across citywide only generates. | 02:33:08 | |
$508,000 property tax is not that big. What does that translate into? Like a different property value? | 02:33:16 | |
Like so if you have a. | 02:33:26 | |
You know $500,000 house for two point $500 house and I haven't looked at it like that. I certainly can. We did during the the last | 02:33:28 | |
cycle we looked at the impact half. | 02:33:34 | |
As much as you think. | 02:33:41 | |
I feel like. | 02:33:44 | |
The time to do it. | 02:33:46 | |
Single digits as a percentage, Yeah, I agree with that. More often than less frequent being up in the 15 and 20. | 02:33:49 | |
Frequently and if you guys, most people know about the UPD transition and that's going on and I feel like. | 02:33:58 | |
People people want to fund their police to me like. | 02:34:06 | |
That's an easy sell. And the people who are most upset about taxes are also tend to be people who are most willing to pay their | 02:34:09 | |
police officers, like when you look from a political perspective. So I feel like. | 02:34:14 | |
There's a lot of. | 02:34:19 | |
And I'd rather do this. We should be doing this every three or four years, not. | 02:34:21 | |
Kicking the can down the road then. | 02:34:27 | |
Pushing it onto a future council that go out for a 30 or 40% taxi property tax is is there. | 02:34:29 | |
And it's obviously the plates get into this type, but is there a way that we can? | 02:34:37 | |
Create some kind of unified message to the public about this so that we can. | 02:34:42 | |
And I don't know if you. | 02:34:48 | |
Preempting that just makes the problem bigger because if people find out like you know, set or is there a way to kind of. | 02:34:50 | |
Presents what this is that we're trying to play at care police officers or we're trying to do a correction because everybody. | 02:34:57 | |
That'll be the whole truth of taxation process will go through all of that and it will say. | 02:35:04 | |
You know, on a. | 02:35:10 | |
This. This is how much it's going to cost. | 02:35:11 | |
If your property taxes say. | 02:35:15 | |
I'm just going to do it back in there. So if your property taxes say $8000 a year, right? | 02:35:18 | |
I think your holiday course is probably. | 02:35:26 | |
18%. | 02:35:28 | |
16%. | 02:35:33 | |
That's generous. And that's because all the other taxing authorities are increasing a higher rate than we are. | 02:35:35 | |
So I love, I'd love to see the ranking of where we sit compared to other cities. So we're pretty low actually. So that's the share | 02:35:42 | |
and 10% of that which would be like the increase 50 to 10% there. | 02:35:49 | |
It would be $192.00 say here whatever $8000 is. So that would be a. | 02:35:57 | |
You know what? | 02:36:04 | |
Level house. That would be probably 800,000 or something. Well, that wouldn't be. | 02:36:05 | |
What was the most? | 02:36:30 | |
This will be the lowest inflation people have dealt with. I mean pretty grocery budget. | 02:36:33 | |
It'd be about other $750,000 house. My best guess would be about $110. | 02:36:38 | |
Because our property tax is only about, say, 16% of your property tax bill. | 02:36:46 | |
So if we raise our property tax 15%, it's not. | 02:36:54 | |
You know that the whole bill is just our. It's still people with inflation stuff. I think they need to be sensitive. Yeah, no, | 02:36:57 | |
it's true. It's true. And the fixed incomes and that's where I think. | 02:37:03 | |
Every three years or so. | 02:37:10 | |
I think it's a little bit negligent of us to not do it more. | 02:37:12 | |
You know more frequently because then you're. | 02:37:16 | |
People can adjust, yeah. It's just painful because. | 02:37:18 | |
You'll get you'll hear it. But I get this other reason I'd rather do it this year. | 02:37:22 | |
That I don't think we should wait till next year and then if you don't do it next year. | 02:37:29 | |
Then you're going to be asking for a 20% increase, 25% increase two years from now, which is really not fair to that council. | 02:37:33 | |
Yeah. | 02:37:41 | |
But I would say. | 02:37:44 | |
You know it may be. | 02:37:48 | |
15% is the number, but maybe you want to look at a little bit say look how much do we really want, do we think we're just by the | 02:37:49 | |
generating here and. | 02:37:53 | |
So 15% is the number if you want to do our justification based on inflation. | 02:37:58 | |
10%, which would really basically close that gap and just look at public safety and I heard you say. | 02:38:05 | |
Single digit maybe better or smaller is better than large. More frequent, smaller more frequent is better than larger. | 02:38:12 | |
So we're talking, I mean we're talking about what you said $110 a year. So we're at like. | 02:38:20 | |
Maybe $10 a month with this. Like, I feel like that's. | 02:38:28 | |
There are so, so few people actually do that calculation. | 02:38:32 | |
They look at the percent and they look at the total, their tax bill. | 02:38:36 | |
Is there a way we can? | 02:38:42 | |
We'll do it taxation, but it's a hard concept to explain to people when you say. | 02:38:47 | |
Well, your property taxes. | 02:38:55 | |
If we have gone up, well, yes they have. It's like, well, it wasn't us. It was great school district, yeah. | 02:38:56 | |
In in relationship to your neighbors, influences have more particular. | 02:39:07 | |
Value changes. Oh, they're really tough. It's complicated. | 02:39:13 | |
But it's conceptually it's. | 02:39:19 | |
Is a fact I mean. | 02:39:21 | |
If you look at our property tax in the city. | 02:39:23 | |
So. | 02:39:31 | |
I think if you're going to do it because you're not just doing it to cover, you're not just doing it to cover this year's delta. | 02:39:33 | |
If you're going to do it, you're also trying to lookout for a couple of years and say let's get enough to get us through another | 02:39:40 | |
three years. | 02:39:43 | |
Then maybe in three years we have to go out for another 10% increase from. | 02:39:47 | |
Because you're gonna get, you're gonna get. | 02:39:51 | |
You're going to get punished, whether it's 10% or 15, yeah. And if you're going to go through a lot of work to go through | 02:39:55 | |
taxation, you get it done. | 02:39:59 | |
You might as well. | 02:40:05 | |
Get justified 15%. I think we don't anticipate coming back to you for another, yeah, the March 349 and 15 is going to be. | 02:40:07 | |
And because inflation is going down, like it's not increasing as rapidly, I feel like it's a more salient. | 02:40:16 | |
Point people will understand that we are subject to those same pressures now more than they will in a year's time. Yeah, if we can | 02:40:23 | |
get it down to. | 02:40:27 | |
Your house is valued at $800,000. This means an increase of. | 02:40:32 | |
X dollars. | 02:40:36 | |
The hard thing about the inflation is they're being placed on their side. Yeah, it's absolutely true. That's why I like, yeah, so | 02:40:39 | |
public safety is the and I think our message, you can include both of these elements and we can, you know, I mean it's the state | 02:40:46 | |
legislature's fault when it comes to the public safety issue. | 02:40:54 | |
Definitely let them know. | 02:41:02 | |
Problems. | 02:41:08 | |
So we will start it, you will, when you adopt the budget. | 02:41:14 | |
Signal your attention for an increase. | 02:41:20 | |
The county will schedule that hearing in August. | 02:41:24 | |
And then you'll you'll have a final vote in August. | 02:41:29 | |
Yes, all this will. | 02:41:34 | |
Is indicate direction from the Council and. | 02:41:36 | |
And Gina, of our attention how we're going to build a budget. | 02:41:40 | |
And then we'll go through a public process. And that doesn't mean we're stuck with this number, I mean. | 02:41:45 | |
Once we get public input, we may change our mind. | 02:41:50 | |
So we have a couple of other small. | 02:41:55 | |
Issues we talked about Church, you. This is such a tiny little thing, but I just wanted to make you aware. So right now for our | 02:42:04 | |
4th of July breakfast. | 02:42:09 | |
We charge our residents $5 and I think we have. | 02:42:15 | |
Forever. | 02:42:18 | |
We're paying 1450 ahead for breakfast. | 02:42:20 | |
So I just wanted to raise that issue with you. So you want us to charge a 15% for property? | 02:42:25 | |
And. | 02:42:35 | |
That is not going to affect the equation that we just at all. | 02:42:38 | |
But I just wanted to make you aware and if you wanted to look at that, even raising a couple of dollars, we still could. | 02:42:44 | |
Since we've moved to credit cards, accepting credit cards, about 40% of people are paying with credit cards, but we still have a | 02:42:53 | |
lot of people that come and bring their five or 20. | 02:42:58 | |
And that would create some hassle as we as we take tickets. | 02:43:05 | |
I don't think it's that. | 02:43:12 | |
We need to. | 02:43:21 | |
It's pretty heavily subsidized. It doesn't need to be. | 02:43:24 | |
That's a great question. We've done different things like last year we just did a family and now created more pumps and. | 02:43:32 | |
One year. | 02:43:42 | |
Like 8 and under three or seven, six and under three we but I think. | 02:43:44 | |
Yeah, 10 dollars per dollar, $5 for kids. | 02:43:52 | |
Keeping utter. | 02:44:04 | |
It doesn't sound like there's a ton of support. That's what I would do. Yeah, something like that. Yeah. What would you do 10 | 02:44:06 | |
bucks for? | 02:44:10 | |
That's still a bargain. Can you get your family up? It's still cheaper. | 02:44:16 | |
How about deadline, though? That's and that's. That's a big job. | 02:44:22 | |
I know for sure I'm fine either way. I mean, it doesn't sound like it's been bringing enough money to be so. I mean, whatever. You | 02:44:29 | |
can even say something. I can and. | 02:44:33 | |
You're a donation at the Arts Council. | 02:44:38 | |
Tell you also fund VR. | 02:44:42 | |
Instead of just being a. | 02:44:45 | |
Charge for breakfast and tell them that it costs 1450. | 02:44:47 | |
You know. | 02:44:52 | |
Maybe we could share If anybody complaints about that, just say. | 02:44:54 | |
That we have subsidized it with the empty and we change it next year. There's some we're going to save enough money that it's | 02:45:06 | |
worth the. | 02:45:09 | |
I mean, doesn't have to be a real number like that. Can we say? | 02:45:13 | |
Or something like that. Yeah. Period. | 02:45:18 | |
You know, I just would rather see us try to keep it close, yeah, And do more regular changes just so that it's not $8 for adults | 02:45:21 | |
and five for kids. | 02:45:26 | |
And it's under 2 and under 3 or whatever and one of your substitute. | 02:45:32 | |
Start rationing. | 02:45:38 | |
For you. | 02:45:42 | |
Complaints. Don't be shut up on the passport. Really. Yeah. | 02:45:44 | |
All right. So agreement on that point, cost of living at 4%, everybody comfortable with that. Yeah, that's a good start point. | 02:45:48 | |
And everybody comfortable. | 02:45:58 | |
From 30 to 35 ish. | 02:46:03 | |
Yeah, we've got some cost increases. | 02:46:06 | |
And Jeff Whitney contract. | 02:46:11 | |
It does seem like it is it getting. | 02:46:14 | |
More well attended because it seems like it is. | 02:46:16 | |
And I think we're going to have a. | 02:46:20 | |
Are nice about the study here just because the energy behind. | 02:46:23 | |
And the energy splitting into these programs and she was on fire. | 02:46:27 | |
Is there anything that the Arts Council, any events they do or are they charged for anything? | 02:46:32 | |
Official opportunities to set up. | 02:46:40 | |
Don't forget, don't neglect part of the sale price of the paintings for the Oh yeah, we when they sell the downstairs, we get cut. | 02:46:43 | |
For the arts sales, and of course we have beer sales, pretty good fundraising and we sell boots at the Blue Moon Festival, but. | 02:46:53 | |
But just attendees, those are not charged. There's revenue coming in. Sponsors as well are paying for sponsor tables. So there's | 02:47:04 | |
an active effort. Yeah, they do generate revenue, but not in the way you were just suggesting in terms of I wasn't meaning | 02:47:10 | |
activities that they do that. Yeah. So they get 10 grand from Holiday Bank and Trust to sponsor the event they've actually put out | 02:47:17 | |
to. | 02:47:23 | |
Wires threat of sponsorship levels for local businesses for mentions and AD space entering conference series. | 02:47:30 | |
And then, so yeah, the Arts Council does generate revenue. | 02:47:37 | |
None at the cover cost and then they get. | 02:47:41 | |
Very successful if there's app applications and. | 02:47:44 | |
But when it all. | 02:47:48 | |
It's certainly into the hopper. They're still short below that. | 02:47:49 | |
That's right. I mean before we moved to a full time position about half of the money for program for the total program was. | 02:47:53 | |
Was raised either through. | 02:48:02 | |
Through all those sources that I'll just need. | 02:48:04 | |
It's a little different now because we do have a full time employee that's benefited. | 02:48:07 | |
Percentage has changed. | 02:48:14 | |
We'll look at that as part of the budget process as well. | 02:48:16 | |
The biggest word of the words in the word salad in the surveys. | 02:48:22 | |
It's surely true. Thanks for yeah. | 02:48:27 | |
OK. Thank you for the direction. I appreciate it. | 02:48:32 | |
10:00 Yeah, that's what it's going to take a long time. | 02:48:38 | |
Normal by the way. | 02:48:43 | |
I think it's good. | 02:48:47 | |
Move to Journey Night. | 02:48:50 | |
Wait, Please. Please. | 02:48:59 |

But 50 years? | 00:00:01 | |
Up on the hill, right? | 00:00:03 | |
Is that is that 50th session? | 00:00:06 | |
Combine or just. | 00:00:10 | |
Just doing the job you're doing now. It was 50 years as being a lobbyist. | 00:00:13 | |
My first session in 1975, I was a student at the. | 00:00:19 | |
Utah, it was in government. | 00:00:25 | |
And we had this crazy idea to put a student on the State Board of Regents. | 00:00:27 | |
And so, a student from Utah State, my exhibit and I had this. | 00:00:31 | |
Plan that we could do this. | 00:00:36 | |
And we got a sponsor. | 00:00:38 | |
I was. I was dating someone in the governor's office and that tells you how old. | 00:00:41 | |
And the staff there, who I knew very well because I was dating one of the assistants. | 00:00:48 | |
Said you can't get a pass. The president will never let you pass. | 00:00:53 | |
And lo and behold, we met real. | 00:00:57 | |
And so, which I thought was pretty cool. | 00:00:59 | |
And then that fall, Ted Wilson may rest in peace, was elected. | 00:01:03 | |
As mayor and Jessica Gross was elected as the city commissioner in Salt Lake and. | 00:01:09 | |
And I helped Jessica Ross's country. | 00:01:13 | |
I'm still a student and just hired me to be an assistant in his office. | 00:01:16 | |
And so as they were sitting around and that that, you know because I started in November, as they were sitting around in January, | 00:01:20 | |
they said. | 00:01:23 | |
But you've got experience of the legislature. You passed that bill last year. | 00:01:27 | |
So why don't you do it or something? | 00:01:31 | |
So I started doing my regular work and then doing a little bit of legislative work for Salt Lake in 1976. | 00:01:33 | |
That I stayed there until the 85. | 00:01:39 | |
Working with Salt Lake and then in 85 I went to the League of Cities and it was up to League of Cities from 85 until. | 00:01:42 | |
October of 2002. | 00:01:50 | |
And then the 20/20/03 session was the first one. | 00:01:52 | |
That I was doing cash. | 00:01:57 | |
50 years. | 00:02:00 | |
Oh yeah. | 00:02:01 | |
You know, 88 governors. | 00:02:09 | |
16. | 00:02:13 | |
16 speakers, 13 Senate presidents and 739 legislators later. | 00:02:15 | |
You're counting all that. | 00:02:21 | |
Doesn't work. | 00:02:25 | |
Very random. | 00:02:28 | |
Well, congratulations. | 00:02:33 | |
Thanks. And I guess, I guess I'm like one of those people on the tree community of the arts community where you serve here to | 00:02:36 | |
replace. | 00:02:41 | |
Right. | 00:02:50 | |
Thanks for having us. | 00:02:53 | |
Well, fabulous what we're looking forward to the, pardon me, the legislative update. | 00:02:55 | |
So what we'll do is. | 00:03:01 | |
Is, you know, we'll go through. | 00:03:04 | |
Oh yeah. Yeah, very much. | 00:03:11 | |
As we get started, we've put together a little bit of a presentation. | 00:03:15 | |
And first, let me just say how thrilled actually I heard. | 00:03:18 | |
You know, mayor's been great. We have, you know, we've not worked extensively with members of the City Council. | 00:03:24 | |
You know, but Mayor Sally's been great. Gina and Holly attractive to work with. | 00:03:30 | |
You know, I've known maps since almost college days. | 00:03:35 | |
And and I've known Stephanie for a lot of years too. So it's it's it's a great relationship and we hope we're doing our job for | 00:03:39 | |
you. So thank you very much. | 00:03:43 | |
But anyway, we've narrowed it down to just a number of bills I just want to talk about. | 00:03:48 | |
The first one we talked about this at our initial meeting, House Bill 12 was the RDA. | 00:03:54 | |
And this is, this is, this is totally impactful for holiday. | 00:04:01 | |
Because it deals with. | 00:04:05 | |
When funds? | 00:04:08 | |
You know when a project area ends. | 00:04:10 | |
We now have five years. | 00:04:14 | |
To spend any of any of the money that is generated from that project area. | 00:04:16 | |
That impacts us because we were still trying to collect some enough affordable housing money to do the. | 00:04:20 | |
The units that we need to do based on our contract with Salt Lake County and what we want to do. | 00:04:27 | |
So affect the beginning May 1. | 00:04:32 | |
The clock is ticking for 60 months on using that money. | 00:04:36 | |
You know and so you know there was there was discussion during the session to change that to three years. That didn't happen. | 00:04:42 | |
You know, but you know, Holiday was one of the one of the agencies that was audited a few years ago. | 00:04:49 | |
And the money sitting there, because it takes us a little bit more time. | 00:04:55 | |
You know. | 00:05:00 | |
Land is a little more expensive. You know, we're an infill city. | 00:05:02 | |
It's difficult, but anyway, so we've got five years to do that. | 00:05:06 | |
And and. | 00:05:10 | |
So there's that's that. | 00:05:12 | |
House Bill 35 was the Metro Township bill. | 00:05:14 | |
And you know, this is the bill that automatically made currents and magnet. | 00:05:18 | |
And all the townships, cities or towns based on their. | 00:05:23 | |
And this was this was year two of the. | 00:05:27 | |
Of the legislative action that affected UPD. | 00:05:31 | |
So the bill passed as we hoped it would. The bill passed in the form that we hoped it would. | 00:05:36 | |
And talk to the Chief Coil before our discussion here. | 00:05:43 | |
I guess all the locals are signed for UPD too. | 00:05:48 | |
And I think that's. | 00:05:52 | |
You know, and it's hopefully it'll turn out better than we anticipated. | 00:05:55 | |
And I think that will be terrific. | 00:05:59 | |
And it will be truly a municipal. | 00:06:02 | |
Police agency. | 00:06:08 | |
You know, with a number of municipalities, but it's municipal agencies. | 00:06:10 | |
And it's not a it's not a hybrid. I think that would be a good thing. | 00:06:13 | |
What's the? Can you explain what the difference between an actual Township of the city is? | 00:06:17 | |
Well, the Township of. | 00:06:21 | |
The biggest, the biggest piece is there. I mean there were some, I think it's that clear delineation you have the testing ability | 00:06:25 | |
because they were given all these different pieces over time. | 00:06:28 | |
So like White City is a. | 00:06:33 | |
So one this is based on the population. | 00:06:38 | |
Another bill passed it Complicated. | 00:06:47 | |
Because of the islands. But yeah, so content. | 00:06:50 | |
Right there are townships. No, they're not there in town. They'll all need to be a corporate will be in town because of their | 00:06:53 | |
population. | 00:06:57 | |
I don't know what immigration canyons population is. | 00:07:02 | |
You know, it could be a town or it could be a city, but based on your population, you're going to be a town or a city. There is no | 00:07:06 | |
more there. What taxing authority does the city have as opposed to a town? Do they cannot oppose a property tax? | 00:07:13 | |
No. A city can. A Township couldn't. A town can't. Yeah. | 00:07:22 | |
Because there are more towns in the state of Utah than those cities. | 00:07:30 | |
Think about that. And really the difference is the population threshold, whether it's. | 00:07:34 | |
I think it may be there are no more. | 00:07:42 | |
You can decide where to do, how to raise your property tax, I think. I think that's what it is. It's entirely more self governance | 00:07:49 | |
on the finance side. | 00:07:55 | |
An attack. | 00:08:01 | |
So why do you have the tail? Why even do you have a tail? It's just the population. Okay, they have all the. | 00:08:04 | |
Name but the new city towns in Salt Lake County that workout shift. | 00:08:13 | |
Just property tax authority, is that right? Well, that's a good question. I thought there was a three-year. | 00:08:20 | |
Trigger because they could. The sales tax has already been. Has already been. | 00:08:27 | |
Levied in those, not geographic areas. So you can't give them another sales tax, Sales tax authority only if you want to put a | 00:08:33 | |
build a hockey arena in Salt Lake City. | 00:08:37 | |
But I think it's a three-year transition. | 00:08:44 | |
Triggers were for the option. | 00:08:51 | |
Yeah, silly. | 00:08:55 | |
Continuing to exist as I understand it. | 00:09:00 | |
I don't know what the solution of that if it comes with. | 00:09:04 | |
I think that's. | 00:09:08 | |
So this is interesting. There's a general that general. What are they? What they call that the? | 00:09:10 | |
The Big Piece. | 00:09:16 | |
So the sales tax, yeah. | 00:09:18 | |
You know, that's already already been levied. So all the sales taxes I think have been levied. It could. | 00:09:21 | |
No, that's a good question. That's how that works. | 00:09:31 | |
Sorry. | 00:09:36 | |
But anyway, the next bill Hospital 84. | 00:09:44 | |
That I know. I know. Chief Weil is familiar with that school safety amendments, though. | 00:09:47 | |
And, you know, to make a long story, a very, very long story. | 00:09:53 | |
As concise as possible. | 00:09:58 | |
As of maybe what makes effect questions, the bill takes effect May 1st. | 00:10:02 | |
But none of the provisions will be hit by May 1st. | 00:10:06 | |
You know so that to me. | 00:10:10 | |
That's a real big problem. | 00:10:12 | |
I think if you're an attorney and something happens in a school after May 1st, can you remind us what that bill does? Yes, I'm | 00:10:14 | |
going to go through that. | 00:10:18 | |
The bill does a lot of things. | 00:10:22 | |
Every school, Every public. | 00:10:24 | |
And charter school. | 00:10:27 | |
Shall have either in. | 00:10:29 | |
A private security company. | 00:10:32 | |
Or an armed or an armed school guardian. | 00:10:34 | |
Well, school's in session. | 00:10:38 | |
And you sent me the answer to your question, but did the question you had before I thought Olympus. You have an SRO Olympus, | 00:10:42 | |
right? Olympus Junior. And you have one of the Olympus Junior, Junior and ******* Junior, but not anything at the elementary. | 00:10:48 | |
So you so right now, the High School and North Charters. | 00:10:56 | |
So right now in holiday. | 00:11:00 | |
You have the senior Olympus and the junior highs are covered. | 00:11:02 | |
Not an issue, except. | 00:11:08 | |
When that SRL leaves campus. | 00:11:11 | |
There needs to be a. | 00:11:14 | |
Whether it's an SRO or whether it's a school target yet, that's something that's new that we haven't had to do in the past. | 00:11:16 | |
So if the schools don't have Sros, it's not the city's responsibility for the school guard. | 00:11:23 | |
That's the school's response. | 00:11:30 | |
So there's not an extra cost to cities. | 00:11:33 | |
That extra cost is in these schools. | 00:11:36 | |
So that's so for the elementary school and the charter school that's on the school district now. | 00:11:39 | |
Chief Hoyle and his staff and his staff. | 00:11:46 | |
Can't help bet. | 00:11:49 | |
Who the Guardians are? | 00:11:50 | |
They can help train who to guard. How? The Guardians. | 00:11:52 | |
Deal with it. These are staff that are they are. They can't be teachers or the principal. | 00:11:55 | |
But they have to be, but they can be staffed. So you're looking at custodians, you're looking at bus drivers, you're looking at, | 00:12:00 | |
you're looking at school counselors, you're looking at. | 00:12:05 | |
So anybody that's staff that's not a teacher or. | 00:12:12 | |
There's nothing, there's nothing wrong with this picture. | 00:12:16 | |
No. OK. But anyway, you know, Chief Oil can help bet. | 00:12:19 | |
They can train, they'll work, he'll work with all the other, you know, with mass and all of the other municipal chiefs in the in | 00:12:26 | |
the county. | 00:12:30 | |
In order to do protocols and how everything seems to be responded to those sorts of things. So who makes the decision about | 00:12:35 | |
whether or not he gets to help that? The problem is that the school principal or the school district? | 00:12:40 | |
Provided training for these guardians as well. Yes, it's all in the statute, but one of the things we're working out is there's | 00:12:46 | |
conversation right now with Granite as well as just what happened on Police Department or this city served by Who's going to be | 00:12:50 | |
responsible for that? | 00:12:54 | |
It's. | 00:13:00 | |
As much as well meaning as the bill is as an administrative access. | 00:13:04 | |
Now saying all that, it's all well-intentioned and it will all workout in the long run. | 00:13:09 | |
You know in the Granite school district the one wrinkle is Granite is only school district has its own place. For example, you've | 00:13:14 | |
got Sros that get responsible for here West Valley. | 00:13:19 | |
All the West Valley schools are covered by the grant schools. | 00:13:24 | |
That, I thought, was on. | 00:13:27 | |
But you know, but anyway, it's going to be different in graph than it is in the other school districts. But all the city chiefs | 00:13:29 | |
will work together. | 00:13:33 | |
You know, and they'll do the vetting, they'll do things, training. | 00:13:38 | |
You know, but trying to find Guardians is going to be a problem. | 00:13:42 | |
And essentially you just can't find one because you have to have an armed security personnel there. | 00:13:46 | |
While the school is in session, so even if you have an SRO. | 00:13:53 | |
Chances are you're going to have to have a background. | 00:13:58 | |
You know, and I know, I know in some situations, if you have an active situation off campus and that SRO is the closest person to | 00:14:02 | |
respond, he or she typically would respond. | 00:14:06 | |
Now the management decision is do they? | 00:14:12 | |
Do they, you know, if there's a traffic accident on 2030 South side of the outside of Olympus boundaries? | 00:14:17 | |
And you have the SRO inside the building as he or she responded to traffic accident. | 00:14:24 | |
Is the first one, is the first one I'm. | 00:14:30 | |
That's a question that the chief Oil gets paid. | 00:14:32 | |
So that's the personnel issue. | 00:14:38 | |
On the school district side, they've got to have the person at the state responsible. All the school districts have to have | 00:14:40 | |
somebody responsible and they've got to have a second person, like a principal that's a security chief. So it really is an | 00:14:45 | |
administrative. | 00:14:49 | |
Well, the schools last. The schools pay for everything. | 00:14:58 | |
So they're going to have to raise taxes. | 00:15:02 | |
There for In all likelihood, yes. Well. | 00:15:04 | |
You're talking in granite school districts, hundreds of guardians for elementary schools. | 00:15:09 | |
Right. That's how they're trying to get around that cost. But who are these guardians? But they can't be a teacher or a principal | 00:15:15 | |
or I mean the administrator. They just can't be the principal or the teacher. And that takes some training too, right? They get 4 | 00:15:21 | |
hours of training every year, forgetful weapons, an additional 4 hours for everything else that you probably want to candidate. | 00:15:28 | |
And my understanding is there's no funding for law enforcement to provide the training. | 00:15:37 | |
So that's there must have been. | 00:15:42 | |
This during the session. Well this bill was going to pass and the first two or three drafts the county sheriff's was doing. | 00:15:47 | |
Would be doing all the protocols and all the training. | 00:15:58 | |
Even though all the schools are in cities. | 00:16:01 | |
So we've got to have to get that changed. | 00:16:03 | |
There are a lot of things that we've got changed. The school still has the state, USB still has 7070 ish million from last year. | 00:16:06 | |
Getting 100 million issue. | 00:16:15 | |
So money is going to be there. | 00:16:17 | |
The guardians. The guardians will get $500 on top of their regular salary, so I stopped an overwhelming cost. But the problem is | 00:16:19 | |
how do you train? | 00:16:24 | |
Someone who you don't know who that person is until you start betting. | 00:16:29 | |
With weapons and law enforcement. | 00:16:35 | |
And expect them to do that. It's going to be difficult, but any of the other things here is just this is going to be a year after | 00:16:38 | |
year. | 00:16:42 | |
Modification and evolution process and so I think. | 00:16:46 | |
Understanding where the pitfalls are, what problems are in every single year, how do we go back to make it work and give it a | 00:16:50 | |
better solution? | 00:16:53 | |
There are some things in private schools. There are some things that private schools have to do because there's a whole data go | 00:16:59 | |
over the whole bill because there's a lot of different components. Some of the things that the overall plan you have to have | 00:17:03 | |
certain plans, but the SRO requirements and some of these other things have. | 00:17:08 | |
You know, it's another little interesting caveat is public schools have to have a new bullying, cyber bullying and hazing policy, | 00:17:15 | |
which is terrific. | 00:17:19 | |
And it spells out the statute, what it's supposed to be, and the parents of the bullied student. | 00:17:23 | |
Have the right to know what happened. | 00:17:28 | |
To be into the student who did the bullying. | 00:17:30 | |
That's not in the private school sector, but it's in the public school section. | 00:17:32 | |
You know, that's a good thing. | 00:17:36 | |
You know if your child is being bullied, you want to know what's happening. | 00:17:38 | |
But anyway, so those things are going to be going to evolve. | 00:17:43 | |
Other things in the bill. | 00:17:47 | |
Every school will have to have cameras. | 00:17:49 | |
And they have to be able to be connected to the Police Department in times of an emergency. | 00:17:52 | |
So there are most schools have cameras now. | 00:18:00 | |
But right now they're not connected to the first responders. | 00:18:04 | |
That's got to happen. | 00:18:08 | |
Secondly, schools have been built in the past. | 00:18:10 | |
That have that have that have made it difficult for public safety personnel through used radios inside the schools. | 00:18:14 | |
And they were exempt from the public safety radio requirement. | 00:18:22 | |
Not anymore. | 00:18:28 | |
So all the new schools will have to be retrofit. Will it be fit to have the radio communication which is important? | 00:18:30 | |
Now all the older schools will have to be retrofitted to make sure they can. They can. | 00:18:39 | |
Get to the public safety radio level. | 00:18:43 | |
Which is also important to push responses. | 00:18:45 | |
There is in Florida after after the. | 00:18:49 | |
Heartland shooting. They passed Alyssa's law. | 00:18:54 | |
Which essentially is a panic button in every classroom. | 00:18:58 | |
That's included in this filter. | 00:19:04 | |
So all of these things. | 00:19:07 | |
Radios the cameras being connected, First responders. | 00:19:08 | |
The panic buttons all by May 1st. | 00:19:12 | |
So you know that that's not going to happen. | 00:19:16 | |
You know and I think that was a mistake using that made for respectively, but that's. | 00:19:20 | |
But we'll see what happens. | 00:19:26 | |
All of our. | 00:19:31 | |
But this will be a bill. I forget this will be, this will be an area where they'll be, we'll see legislation in the next two or | 00:19:35 | |
three years. | 00:19:38 | |
We will be modified. | 00:19:41 | |
Broad stroke person. | 00:19:44 | |
So. | 00:19:46 | |
House Bill 488, Transportation Fund Modifications. | 00:19:48 | |
Provides 1.4 million to holiday. | 00:19:52 | |
1.23 million excuse me. | 00:19:57 | |
Employee 1.23 million The holiday. | 00:20:00 | |
For highland drive between Vanwinkle and Overlay. | 00:20:04 | |
That's that's part of the the. | 00:20:07 | |
The quarter of 1/4. | 00:20:12 | |
Quarter of the fourth quarter. | 00:20:13 | |
Who was the 488 HP 48? | 00:20:15 | |
Well, doesn't matter. And then you know that Bill also does additional things. | 00:20:20 | |
It expands the uses of the shift. | 00:20:26 | |
Quarter to be used for transportation. Different math. | 00:20:28 | |
So there's a fifth quarter. | 00:20:33 | |
And I think the council, I think the County Council is, will want cities. | 00:20:36 | |
To adopt resolutions, to encourage them to pass, to enact the fifth quarter. | 00:20:40 | |
I think that's going to happen. | 00:20:46 | |
So, you know, that's a discussion that Mayor, you and the council have talked about. | 00:20:47 | |
You know that money will be used. Cities get cities, I think get 0.10 with that. I have to look back into that. That's been years | 00:20:52 | |
and years and years ago 10. | 00:20:57 | |
Transit gets. | 00:21:03 | |
Some some money can now be used for public safety. | 00:21:05 | |
You know, because and the thought there was additional public safety for the homecourt. | 00:21:08 | |
For homelessness. | 00:21:14 | |
In the county. | 00:21:16 | |
My guess is this might be the first year that that probably County Council probably will be more encouraged to pass it. | 00:21:18 | |
But they're going to, I'm sure they're going to want each council, as many councils as possible. | 00:21:26 | |
Sort of encourage the resolution to support passage of. | 00:21:31 | |
This quarter a couple of bills dealing with gravel pits. | 00:21:38 | |
Because I know a number of you were concerned about the gravel pit. | 00:21:44 | |
And I'm sorry, just kind of. | 00:21:48 | |
A Senate Bill 172 was. | 00:21:51 | |
Was initiated and it was protection area revisions and essentially that was, you know, to provide essentially an open door for new | 00:21:55 | |
gravel pants. The initial sponsor of the bill was told it was only going to be in rural Utah. | 00:22:02 | |
Well, but that's not what those who wanted the bill to do. | 00:22:11 | |
Had it drafted as and so when the bill came out and it was really. | 00:22:16 | |
A very controversial, very confrontational approach. | 00:22:23 | |
Between those who are providing materials for growing Utah and and municipal areas. | 00:22:26 | |
The sponsor said no thanks you guys. You guys told me that it was on rural Utah and it's not, so I'm not doing it. | 00:22:35 | |
It was picked up by another sponsor who Built didn't realize at the time all of the controversy and all the mistakes that were | 00:22:41 | |
made. So he said thanks, I'm done. | 00:22:45 | |
So that bill ended. | 00:22:49 | |
House Bill 50. | 00:22:51 | |
Critical infrastructure and mining. | 00:22:53 | |
The initial draft of that bill was as horrible as 172, but there were discussions on that and the bill passed. | 00:22:55 | |
Where the Division of Oil, Gas and Mining is to study critical infrastructure materials operating, including location, size. | 00:23:02 | |
Production levels and the extent the levels meet U dot standards of the materials. | 00:23:10 | |
They have to report to the Energy Natural Resources Committee. | 00:23:15 | |
In November of this year. So that would be the November interim committee meeting. So that says it just turned that whole idea | 00:23:19 | |
into a study. | 00:23:23 | |
I mean it's basically what they're trying to get down to is they want, we need more material. And so they're trying to say how | 00:23:28 | |
much material do we need, what is the cost, where should it come from, the quality, the quality. | 00:23:33 | |
Of the transportation. So the important thing about that is there's going to be individuals from the gravel industry, but there's | 00:23:38 | |
a lot of city and local government. | 00:23:42 | |
Planning organization. So it's going to be safe over from all of the. | 00:23:50 | |
So this is what should have done. This is what should have happened before. | 00:23:53 | |
You know and you know the will follow the process. | 00:23:58 | |
You know, I know we'll have, we'll have that discussion with Cam. | 00:24:02 | |
Cameron Hill and the board will leave board to find out who those municipalities are going to be. | 00:24:07 | |
You know, whether it's going to be somebody from waste front or mountain lands. | 00:24:12 | |
Would be a discussion. | 00:24:17 | |
You know, so I would prefer watch that, try that to come from Salt Lake County. | 00:24:19 | |
Or Davis. | 00:24:24 | |
But you know, because there's something in the water in Utah County, so you're not really quite sure. | 00:24:25 | |
But you know, I think we need to figure that out. | 00:24:30 | |
But they'll be, they'll be a study. | 00:24:33 | |
And in November of this year. | 00:24:35 | |
We'll see what, if anything, we'll see in the 20. | 00:24:38 | |
25 section. | 00:24:41 | |
So very quickly, I just want to run over a few housing bills. | 00:24:44 | |
The The name of the game this year was Instead of getting funding from the state, putting money up front, it was. | 00:24:49 | |
County and city dollars, right? So a lot of tax increment financing tools. So it's more tools. | 00:24:55 | |
Of how you can build an enhanced housing. | 00:25:02 | |
I'm going to run through some of them and some of them aren't necessarily directly related to holiday because they're they're more | 00:25:04 | |
focused towards new developments, Greenfield areas. But I want to bring up two reasons first. | 00:25:09 | |
They could change because as these tools are developing, these people evolve and change. And then the second reason is. | 00:25:15 | |
We come back to the legislature measure and say Haitian girl is helping you guys say what they will. All these have these new | 00:25:20 | |
tools you created weren't directly targeted towards legacy cities or cities that already built up. So I think just having a | 00:25:24 | |
general understanding of all the tools that created. | 00:25:28 | |
First one is HP 13 Infrastructure financing. | 00:25:33 | |
Person to bring down. Again, this started out as you know it's a deviation of HIDS. | 00:25:37 | |
And and then there were a lot of really bad ideas that were coming across what was finally landed on Not great, not terrible. And | 00:25:41 | |
that's typically where these bills end up. But it's a new tool that will allow for limited bonding authority by developers and | 00:25:47 | |
property owners. They do have limited taxing authorities to operations. | 00:25:53 | |
Bonds cannot be paid with property tax and all debts are born solely to the initial property owners and they can't be transferred | 00:25:59 | |
until you have final inspection and the bonds are paid off. So basically build it up and then you can sell the properties. | 00:26:04 | |
This this isn't going to impact anybody. | 00:26:10 | |
This is going to impact those areas in the fringe of growth and development. | 00:26:13 | |
Where there are 190,000. | 00:26:18 | |
Entitled entitled. | 00:26:21 | |
Lots out there. | 00:26:23 | |
And no way to get the infrastructure. | 00:26:25 | |
This will help that. | 00:26:27 | |
So if you're in. | 00:26:29 | |
Fairfield in Utah County. | 00:26:30 | |
You know you'll be impacted by. | 00:26:33 | |
You know, but I don't know anywhere in Salt Lake County. | 00:26:35 | |
So a couple other bells 8B4465 Housing Affordability Efficiency Representative White, one of the many bills that came up with | 00:26:41 | |
Commission Housing Affordability. | 00:26:46 | |
Couple of things it does. So the moderate, your moderate angle, moderate income housing plan, you're going to have to include the | 00:26:52 | |
numbers of units that were entitled. | 00:26:55 | |
But not yet permitted because sometimes the housing developers are throwing around these numbers. How many buildings are not being | 00:26:59 | |
built but cities are entitling? There's nothing permanent built so to give that additional data point. | 00:27:04 | |
And also allow funding RDA funding to be used for owner occupied units at 121% AMI. So you can go up a little bit higher on that | 00:27:10 | |
affordability level to create new housing, new housing units or renovate housing units. | 00:27:18 | |
You can also RDA housing funds can also be used outside of your city if you have an interlocal agreement is made. | 00:27:27 | |
And then another one, kind of similar to the RDA bill. | 00:27:35 | |
Audit Bill All housing funds moving forward have to be spent in six years. | 00:27:38 | |
So you can't six years? | 00:27:44 | |
From the date they start getting collected. | 00:27:47 | |
So, which means you're not, you know, so if you if you get money in year one. | 00:27:50 | |
That money has to be entitled. | 00:27:54 | |
Even though the RDA might be 20 years, yes, right, Yes, so. | 00:27:58 | |
You don't have to spin. | 00:28:03 | |
But you have to entitle it. | 00:28:06 | |
Or encumbered and they usually like you have to go back because the terminology is different some of these bills. | 00:28:08 | |
So if you plan right, you can have a plan and you're going to say this is my plan and this has been, but you have to plan for your | 00:28:13 | |
money on a rolling six year period. | 00:28:18 | |
You know, and there were a couple of studies. | 00:28:23 | |
That we're sitting on big piles of. | 00:28:27 | |
10s of millions. | 00:28:30 | |
40 millions of dollars. | 00:28:32 | |
And essentially. | 00:28:36 | |
They were just sitting on. | 00:28:37 | |
So that is where this is coming from. | 00:28:39 | |
City, Pennsylvania funds. | 00:28:42 | |
OK. HB 476 minus the land use regulations, another shop that's. | 00:28:44 | |
I think we're OK because Todd looked over this bill. There was it immensely. Items in the municipality can require for development | 00:28:52 | |
agreements, including height, density transfers, parking, setbacks and zone changes, but it restricts the city from acquiring an | 00:28:57 | |
agreement if the development meets the current zoning ordinances. | 00:29:01 | |
So that's just something that moving forward. | 00:29:06 | |
Keeping in mind. | 00:29:10 | |
They've always won. | 00:29:15 | |
Oh, so that was a lot of restrictions, Bill, that really would have limited a lot of initial bill, the initial bill. But in the | 00:29:17 | |
final version of it, it really just restricts I think overhead irrigation. I think that's right. And we were concerned about that | 00:29:23 | |
just with the possibility of scrambling development. | 00:29:29 | |
Look, as we're looking at a lot of open things, skilled space that would have been challenging. | 00:29:37 | |
But was great to work with. | 00:29:46 | |
You know, it passed the house just like that. | 00:29:50 | |
And then we had. We worked on it. | 00:29:54 | |
Another bill that we just want to bring up is housing funding. Again, again, not directly related this bill for legacy cities, but | 00:29:59 | |
I think it's going to be changing as we move forward. HP 572 straight state treasurer investment amendments and so this deals with | 00:30:05 | |
the public treasurer's investment fund. | 00:30:10 | |
And that big pot of money where you put excess funds continue to grow. | 00:30:17 | |
They're going to take a state portion of that, up to $300 million of state dollars, and then the banks can use these funds with | 00:30:21 | |
developers to develop affordable housing. So it's another basic pot of money for investing in housing. | 00:30:28 | |
Right now, it's only for new housing. | 00:30:35 | |
Not super helpful for holiday, but we've already started talking to representatives. | 00:30:37 | |
Waldrick, who is Director of housing in Governor Cox office and how do you start to be able to? Because this is a great. | 00:30:44 | |
For new cities and growing cities and what about the legacy cities? So we're going to talk about can we make a provision in there | 00:30:52 | |
that legacy cities can also tap into these funds. | 00:30:55 | |
You know to do that one of the issues is I don't know if this is a big this would be important. | 00:31:00 | |
But you know, for example, the street, Salt Lake City for example, there are a lot of rental housing in Salt Lake City. | 00:31:06 | |
And a lot of that housing symptoms become substantial. | 00:31:12 | |
And Salt Lake City School District just went through for us as the warm. | 00:31:17 | |
It has an alpha and closing elementary schools. | 00:31:21 | |
So if you've got. | 00:31:25 | |
Rental detached housing. | 00:31:26 | |
You know, 2-3 four bedroom houses, you know, they're not very big and they might have two bedrooms. | 00:31:30 | |
Can we how can we get those? | 00:31:37 | |
Hit those homes, picks them up. | 00:31:39 | |
But they'll buy them from the landlord. | 00:31:41 | |
Picks them up. Sell them to home phone buyers. | 00:31:44 | |
And start putting their families in those homes. | 00:31:48 | |
Well, the problem with that is when you buy that house. | 00:31:50 | |
You're not just buying the structure, you're buying the interest rate. | 00:31:54 | |
And so, so one of the thoughts for next year is we have more time. | 00:31:58 | |
Perhaps the RDA can buy the home. | 00:32:02 | |
And because we can write down the cost of it. | 00:32:06 | |
The RDA can buy the home. | 00:32:10 | |
By the revenue St. picks it up. | 00:32:11 | |
Eat some of that cost and then sell the. | 00:32:14 | |
And use this. | 00:32:17 | |
And so that's one of the things we're looking at next year that may be a children holiday. | 00:32:20 | |
Just quickly want to touch on SB168 housing affordability amendments about the statewide building Clipper module homes and module | 00:32:26 | |
buildings to be a new building technology and then it kind of goes through the processes of what that was, how that would look | 00:32:30 | |
like. | 00:32:34 | |
It also creates. Again this is. | 00:32:39 | |
I don't know if it would necessarily affect, it's called the hops in the acronym Home Ownership Promotion Zones. And basically it | 00:32:42 | |
allows you if you if it's an acre up to 6 acres. | 00:32:48 | |
You increase the zoning. I'm sorry, no under 10 acres if it's six units per acre if you up zone. | 00:32:53 | |
You can use the tax increment financing up to 60% to reinvest. | 00:33:02 | |
Now the goal is here to try to identify some of our zoning, but I don't know how much tactic you'll actually get from this tool. | 00:33:07 | |
But it is a it was pushed by a House leadership. | 00:33:12 | |
Law. | 00:33:19 | |
And. | 00:33:20 | |
The owner wants to put. | 00:33:23 | |
You know, and if you want that to happen, you can do a house. | 00:33:28 | |
And because you're up to zone, the neighbors won't mind at all neighbors. That's your problem. | 00:33:31 | |
But again. | 00:33:41 | |
Another one that there's a long bill, but I just want to mention one piece of it and this was SB-268 first time investment. | 00:33:46 | |
This is the Fizz. It's the first home investment zone that largely can be used in holiday because it's in a city, town, medium | 00:33:54 | |
density, mixed-use and you have extra territorial new development. But the piece of the bill that I want to highlight? | 00:34:01 | |
To do one of these, the county required they wanted something in there and they basically said if you want to do one of these. | 00:34:09 | |
You have to prohibit the creation if you're. | 00:34:16 | |
RDA retains cash and cash equivalent assets of more than 20% ongoing unencumbered annual revenue. | 00:34:20 | |
Because they're worried about those cash back, those, those cash balances of too much money sitting in your Rdas. | 00:34:26 | |
This won't affect you, but you don't probably won't be creating these physics. | 00:34:31 | |
But the concern here is that the county put it into this bill. | 00:34:36 | |
Is it going to go into other RDA and other CRA? | 00:34:39 | |
So again, they're saying if you want to create easy tax increment financing tools, you've got to have your cash. | 00:34:42 | |
So I bring that up just as these are the tools that are kind of coming online and then the pieces that are kind of entering | 00:34:51 | |
because now you've got HDR ZS, you've got Fizz, you've got Hawks, you've got. | 00:34:56 | |
I mean there was like, you know, there's like six of these were supposed to be the starter home in business over shares. | 00:35:02 | |
Not a good. | 00:35:08 | |
And I kept telling them that if you keep saying that, I'm going to find out, but AT. | 00:35:11 | |
And again, just. | 00:35:17 | |
Kind of an awareness of all of these new. | 00:35:22 | |
Coming online and trying to solve. | 00:35:27 | |
Questions. That was 24. | 00:35:31 | |
OK. Any questions? Great. If not. | 00:35:36 | |
Next Wednesday the 17th, let's set up management. | 00:35:39 | |
Makes for the first time during this interim, so we start already for next year. | 00:35:42 | |
They will set aside, they will announce the all the interim meeting dates. | 00:35:47 | |
For the rest of the calendar. | 00:35:53 | |
And what the schedule is going to be that will assign issue topics to each of the communities. So we'll know that next next | 00:35:56 | |
Wednesday and we'll share that with everybody, make sure you guys don't know and then as bills take effect on May 1. | 00:36:04 | |
That means on May 2. | 00:36:13 | |
Legislators can open up bill files, actually. | 00:36:15 | |
And probably on May 2, you'll see about 350 bill puzzle. | 00:36:18 | |
It begins again. | 00:36:25 | |
Quick question, you talked about the gravel pits, parties down an issue. | 00:36:28 | |
Going back to a year ago, there was a bill that everyone was so upset about. | 00:36:33 | |
Regarding roads around gravel pits, whatever happened with that, I know that there was a huge push to have. | 00:36:38 | |
The governor. | 00:36:45 | |
The sales tax. | 00:36:47 | |
It went into effect and that it would not be. | 00:36:52 | |
You know, and you know, that's a great question. I don't know. I don't know. I thought somebody was suing over it. | 00:36:56 | |
Yeah. And I'm not even sure, you know, now that we're into that almost a year now, I'm not even sure how that is infected sales | 00:37:05 | |
tax of local government. | 00:37:10 | |
That's the challenging part. We expect we would receive laughs, but it's not like it's nine items the only way, the only way, I | 00:37:16 | |
think you'll realize it. | 00:37:21 | |
Is if you have either the gravel pit or the business office of the company in your city where you are the. | 00:37:27 | |
Well, you're the. | 00:37:36 | |
With the. | 00:37:39 | |
Local option. | 00:37:42 | |
Where? Where you get the front of that money. If they have 50% of this point itself, that's the only way you're going to see it. | 00:37:43 | |
Because you'll still always get. | 00:37:50 | |
50% population distribution, that's not going to change, but what will change is where that point of cells. | 00:37:52 | |
And so that was our concern was that we bear the burden of the gravel pit to a large extent in Canyon Cove, the one that is | 00:37:59 | |
adjacent to us. | 00:38:04 | |
But it's not in our city. So I mean I think this is going to be one of my agencies. If you change it, what you get changes and | 00:38:10 | |
then looking at overall, right. So you can see the big changes in. | 00:38:15 | |
You know, the initial five or two would have been devastating. | 00:38:23 | |
Because they should just arbitrarily move out and expand. | 00:38:28 | |
So you know it was. | 00:38:34 | |
Very delicate negotiations. | 00:38:36 | |
Can you The only bill that I'd like you to touch on is the inspection bill. Oh yes, so SB185. | 00:38:40 | |
Senator Vickers, and this is the building, accept yourself and it started in a terrible place when it got to, I think it wasn't | 00:38:49 | |
that bad of a bill because what they were saying and I think it's coming out of one state in Cedar City that they weren't getting | 00:38:54 | |
their sessions not three day time requirement. | 00:38:59 | |
And so the final and. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the final version is. | 00:39:03 | |
The owner, the property owner developed. The builder can request that and they don't get in three days. | 00:39:09 | |
The they go to an approved list by the city, an approved third party inspectors. But then there's the liabilities on that | 00:39:14 | |
inspector right? The city doesn't have the liability. | 00:39:20 | |
But you the only way you go to that third party is after you pass that three day. | 00:39:25 | |
And it's on an approved list. | 00:39:31 | |
So not surprisingly, we're having some trouble getting people willing to sign up for that because I mean, like, they're | 00:39:34 | |
independent, right? And then. | 00:39:38 | |
The area that they pick up cover. | 00:39:43 | |
Timeframes the responsibility, the liabilities a. | 00:39:45 | |
I think it's one of those bills that got. | 00:39:49 | |
It came up with a solution that was so competitive and complicated that it's not going to actually solve the problem. | 00:39:52 | |
Especially because I think the problem is so limited and directed. | 00:39:57 | |
On the two cities that are really having this problem. So instead of you know, trying to figure it out what has all the problems, | 00:40:01 | |
they try to. | 00:40:04 | |
Create this build I don't know how. | 00:40:07 | |
The good news is that over a lot of, I mean this is you know the work of what you do. All the negotiations ended up in a much | 00:40:10 | |
better place because originally when it started it was you could go to any inspector that you wanted at any time at the get go and | 00:40:15 | |
there was none of these, you know, none of these repercussions or responsibilities or cities and things like that. So it ended up | 00:40:19 | |
in a good place. | 00:40:23 | |
As far as not damaging, but I don't know how. | 00:40:28 | |
Words are in a good place. Words policy is and the actual actualization of finding inspectors who want to put their reputation on | 00:40:31 | |
the line. | 00:40:36 | |
With you know to go and inspect and potentially face the liability. | 00:40:42 | |
Any other questions? | 00:40:53 | |
All right. | 00:40:56 | |
Hopefully. | 00:41:09 | |
It was part of, yeah, it was. | 00:41:11 | |
It was approved, so now it will go through a process and this is some federal remark. | 00:41:16 | |
It will need to come to us. | 00:41:23 | |
For a process that's kind of similar to a brand application. | 00:41:25 | |
All right. Well, thank you guys for working on behalf of the city. Thanks for having me. Appreciate it. | 00:41:33 | |
All right. | 00:41:40 | |
All right. Have a good night. I promise I will not. I will not. | 00:41:48 | |
Send my application to your school garden. | 00:41:51 | |
It's the last thing you want. | 00:41:55 | |
There aren't enough hours in the day. | 00:42:00 | |
You guys. OK. Thanks, John. And Carrie, you're up. | 00:42:03 | |
Next. Next. | 00:42:08 | |
Come on to that, let's see the regional first, because John, you said you could take two minutes and just clarify the whole thing | 00:42:10 | |
for us. | 00:42:14 | |
Reason is easy, We can do that. | 00:42:18 | |
I don't think this reason is an issue for the Council so. | 00:42:25 | |
I was just trying to clarify them for it because it seemed like they were focused on. | 00:42:30 | |
Pending C2 and it's like this isn't about. | 00:42:35 | |
I was kind of in a Papa bear moment in. | 00:42:40 | |
Most of our staff reports to you. | 00:42:44 | |
Do provide a level analysis. Some of it's professional. | 00:42:49 | |
Cover the majority of it, 90% of this. | 00:42:53 | |
The ordinance very clearly says that we have to provide you with an analysis of what? | 00:42:57 | |
So that section of the general plan is 1 portion of that report. The other is the recommendation, so. | 00:43:03 | |
May or may not like what's in that analysis. | 00:43:10 | |
It is old. | 00:43:14 | |
However, luckily we are going to update that general plan. | 00:43:16 | |
And in fact, we signed up today that we were putting out our RFP for. | 00:43:20 | |
Consultants on your new General Plan update? | 00:43:25 | |
May 1st. | 00:43:28 | |
So by summer, we'll be due in. | 00:43:30 | |
All the smaller master plans that go with it. | 00:43:35 | |
In the Hawaii Village zone to. | 00:43:39 | |
Master plan to. | 00:43:41 | |
And to include the new. | 00:43:43 | |
Well, I mean, obviously I did a very poor job of it, but. | 00:43:47 | |
What I was, I think what I was trying to say to them was. | 00:43:51 | |
Staff basically says that. | 00:43:55 | |
According to the general plan. | 00:43:57 | |
This is probably appropriate for C2. However, this application is appropriate and supported by the Planning Commission staff. | 00:44:00 | |
So that's what I got. | 00:44:07 | |
I wasn't seen to pee off anybody off by asking questions. | 00:44:11 | |
But mostly I just have residents in my mind. | 00:44:18 | |
Conversations we had about and the. | 00:44:20 | |
And came into play, if you recall down on Highland Drive where we have, as I recall there was C2 then there was. | 00:44:23 | |
Some other zone and then more C2. There's just this pocket. | 00:44:29 | |
And so I think in the spirit of critical thinking, I wanted to just say, OK, are we? | 00:44:33 | |
You know creating that that we have tried to avoid. | 00:44:38 | |
I don't have a drive. | 00:44:41 | |
And the other thing is, I look at that too, I just think. | 00:44:44 | |
I wanted to understand for my own sake what is the real difference in the impact to the neighborhood because to me it's extremely | 00:44:49 | |
separated when you've got a circle that comes in from the back versus this frontage on Highland Drive and. | 00:44:55 | |
You know, it creates an awkward land use. | 00:45:02 | |
Interaction, right? | 00:45:05 | |
Most of your zones. Most of your zones that are. | 00:45:07 | |
Hybrid, commercial or street? | 00:45:11 | |
Along commercial do have buffers, setbacks, buffering standards within those zones. | 00:45:13 | |
Not necessarily having the zone itself be the buffering. | 00:45:18 | |
But there are set back standards, especially when they have. | 00:45:22 | |
Residential property. | 00:45:25 | |
In this case, the PO and the C2 zones are the same. | 00:45:27 | |
Things have suffered or did set back on the rear is slightly different on C2 versus. | 00:45:30 | |
Versus the PO? | 00:45:39 | |
I think it's 15 and C2 and. | 00:45:41 | |
Yeah. | 00:45:45 | |
But then there's other. | 00:45:50 | |
There's other options that would meet the general plans. | 00:45:57 | |
Designation as exclusively commercial. | 00:46:02 | |
So maybe it would be less intensive. | 00:46:05 | |
Applications what the application is. | 00:46:10 | |
In the application's. Great. | 00:46:14 | |
If we got any issues with that, yeah. So I think we're good. | 00:46:16 | |
So then we go to the APU, right? Right. So this is a big piece in. | 00:46:21 | |
The fact that is the best way to handle this. To go to your summary, do you think or? | 00:46:27 | |
The summary is the presentation was created off about each of those sentences. | 00:46:36 | |
So I think going to let's start at the summary and just. | 00:46:42 | |
Right. I don't know, I think. | 00:46:50 | |
Either way. | 00:46:52 | |
Repetitive. When I was talking to Gina today, we were talking about how we should approach this because you got. | 00:46:55 | |
The Planning Commission's kind of a vision and the staff's vision, but. | 00:47:02 | |
But then I didn't know if. | 00:47:07 | |
One was sort of a would be considered if you guys are kind of loggerheads or for Planning Commission was a. | 00:47:09 | |
There's an evolution of the process with where there may still be some differences. | 00:47:16 | |
But were there some changes made by the Planning Commission that you're. Oh yeah, that's a good idea. Was it, was there any | 00:47:21 | |
evolution element to it or was it more no. | 00:47:26 | |
It was an ongoing discussion where it was, here's what's presented. You know, maybe we're not quite so comfortable with this. | 00:47:33 | |
Let's change this. | 00:47:37 | |
So I kind of supported, yeah, that's a good idea. We can do that. Some things there weren't as. | 00:47:42 | |
There was not as much discussion around or really thorough analysis. | 00:47:47 | |
But I think that. | 00:47:53 | |
Did they increase the setbacks on the last one? I mean, that's one of our bigger issues. Is that the 10 foot minimum regardless? | 00:47:55 | |
Yeah. And understanding like the intent of the Planning Commission, yes. They want to ensure that there's privacy between | 00:48:00 | |
properties. | 00:48:05 | |
So that's kind of how we're addressing it. It might have been more random than. | 00:48:11 | |
Then based on good principles, yeah. | 00:48:18 | |
So that's that's kind of where those differences came out. | 00:48:21 | |
They they could be adjusted and changed. You can send it back to the. | 00:48:27 | |
Or have staff look at those specific things in May. So any recommendations? | 00:48:35 | |
I've never. | 00:48:42 | |
Direction with those differences. | 00:48:45 | |
Yeah, I think by the time. | 00:48:47 | |
We were getting into the. | 00:48:49 | |
Yeah, throwing out a couple of. | 00:48:59 | |
What? You know zoning standards. | 00:49:03 | |
As far as setbacks are concerned. | 00:49:05 | |
Are largely assuring. | 00:49:07 | |
There's no real scientific. | 00:49:09 | |
Yeah, otherwise but. But. | 00:49:13 | |
You're doing a consistency among certain elements. So for instance, if the primary building set back is actually, don't want the | 00:49:15 | |
accessory to be some. | 00:49:20 | |
Weird number that has no context. | 00:49:24 | |
Relative to the. | 00:49:27 | |
The primers, especially when you have a lot of. | 00:49:28 | |
Neighborhoods have narrow widths. | 00:49:33 | |
The required set back for a home might be even more. | 00:49:36 | |
Then what? A set back or even less than what the accessory building, right? | 00:49:40 | |
Set back which or. | 00:49:47 | |
With some points that could go up to like 6 1/2 feet cause. | 00:49:50 | |
The average would be like 8 foot. | 00:49:54 | |
So you have an average step back, you can come closer 15%. | 00:49:56 | |
With some variations. | 00:50:01 | |
It has rebuilding the same kind of concept where it can be averaged. | 00:50:05 | |
But that having a. | 00:50:11 | |
Smaller size lots with a setback that would be. | 00:50:13 | |
Even smaller than what the Planning Commission is proposing for an accessory building. | 00:50:17 | |
With workers. | 00:50:21 | |
We're looking at the impact of the primary structure versus the accessory structure, and accessory structures are going to vary in | 00:50:24 | |
size depending on. | 00:50:28 | |
The total lot coverage, so there's a lot of different checks on accessory buildings themselves that. | 00:50:33 | |
By nature, they are less actual than a primary structure. | 00:50:39 | |
So accessory buildings that are not. | 00:50:43 | |
Dwelling units versus central buildings that are. | 00:50:48 | |
Rights which changes and accessory buildings can still be more practical than an accessory compelling unit. | 00:50:53 | |
Uses their garage for parties and. | 00:51:03 | |
Or machine shop for personal use. And there's there's a lot of various. | 00:51:07 | |
Impacts that can still occur in accessory buildings. | 00:51:13 | |
When we're looking at impacts, looking at how are we attracting the impacts, so the impacts associated with this. | 00:51:17 | |
Addressed by Noise Princess. | 00:51:24 | |
Obtuse. | 00:51:28 | |
Public nuisance or what address? | 00:51:30 | |
And so that's kind of the same approach that we see with like an accessory dwelling unit, Okay, this is a dwelling unit. | 00:51:34 | |
How are we addressing the impact specific to Indian Welling unit? | 00:51:41 | |
So the city, how much this deals with internal accessory? Is that pretty much clarified? | 00:51:49 | |
So this is only related to EADUS. | 00:51:55 | |
And so. | 00:51:59 | |
We're making a simple statement here, but what we're trying to do is see it. | 00:52:01 | |
See if we can give. | 00:52:05 | |
Staff guidance to actually come up with an ordinance that we can vote on 25th. | 00:52:07 | |
Right. And what are? | 00:52:13 | |
Or this report. Are these the issues that need to be clarified? So you just need to go through one at a time? We'll go through and | 00:52:16 | |
you can say adjust this or can I question the premise? | 00:52:22 | |
Why do we need to pass anything? | 00:52:29 | |
We don't. We don't. We don't need to vote on it next week and I think. | 00:52:31 | |
Well, we need to change. | 00:52:36 | |
Do you mean like we could refer back to the Planning Commission? So what I'm saying is, are we under the gun to do something? No, | 00:52:38 | |
by mandate. And so our goal is to make sure we do something right, not something fast. And it seems like suddenly we've got this | 00:52:43 | |
drop dead date that. | 00:52:48 | |
No, I don't think we need the public hearings closed. | 00:52:54 | |
But the issues that are in here, if we can't get, you know, I don't want to spend. | 00:52:57 | |
Two hours on this tonight if we need to put it to your point, if we need to put on the work agenda for the 25th. | 00:53:03 | |
To continue the discussion, we can do that. I mean what one of my concerns. | 00:53:08 | |
I think the overall guidance I remember getting was if there's some low hanging fruit with regarding some external Pdus. | 00:53:15 | |
If someone can knock something out. | 00:53:22 | |
Because it feels like this got bigger than low hanging fruit. | 00:53:25 | |
And the other. | 00:53:28 | |
The reason I'm concerned about that is that we've got this. | 00:53:30 | |
Ever steepening mandate. | 00:53:34 | |
Cycle that's coming towards us from the legislature about housing. | 00:53:38 | |
And I'm loathe to get out in front of that. | 00:53:41 | |
Because there's not. Yeah, I don't want to. | 00:53:45 | |
Do something before we can get credit for it in that ever increasing mandate environment. | 00:53:50 | |
Because then it won't count. | 00:53:57 | |
We do it too soon. | 00:53:59 | |
And because then also we do something and then the mandate comes, you've got to do something more by additional have 25% more | 00:54:02 | |
effectiveness. We did something too soon we're not. So even those I don't know that any work that we do here would be lost. | 00:54:09 | |
But perhaps it might be wise to not. | 00:54:18 | |
Be in a hurry. | 00:54:21 | |
Because it might, it might come to a point where we have to do this. | 00:54:24 | |
And then we've got in our pocket. | 00:54:27 | |
Can we get credit for it or is it possible? Arizona Core analysis of. | 00:54:30 | |
Required a crystal ball that nobody has so in Francis. So this has to do with. | 00:54:35 | |
The modern income piece we just adopted, right? And these boxes we have to check in, so. | 00:54:42 | |
Are you concerned about that that? | 00:54:51 | |
We should be. | 00:54:54 | |
Stretching out our opportunities to check our boxes? Yes, exactly. | 00:54:57 | |
Because you can't check a box that says within this year you've got to do X and well, we've already kind of shot this bot, as it | 00:55:02 | |
were. | 00:55:06 | |
And we can't count it. There's a box checking opportunity. | 00:55:10 | |
And I'm really concerned about boxing with the legislature. | 00:55:14 | |
Do we have enough information to strategize that or? | 00:55:18 | |
Harry is sort of holding back and they're going to change something, but it may not match. You hate to not do the right thing just | 00:55:23 | |
for that reason, yeah. | 00:55:28 | |
It requires a crystal ball. | 00:55:34 | |
That's why I say that's why I was kind of focused on low hanging fruit as opposed to. | 00:55:36 | |
Redesigned. What were you going to say in? | 00:55:40 | |
I seem to say that in. | 00:55:43 | |
Having a discussion. | 00:55:49 | |
Moving towards. | 00:55:51 | |
Reducing the regulations. | 00:55:55 | |
Whether it be 1 item? | 00:55:58 | |
We can report. | 00:56:01 | |
It doesn't require us to. | 00:56:04 | |
We've done this. | 00:56:17 | |
So what you're saying is we would get credit for this? | 00:56:22 | |
And if we did a little bit and then a little bit next year, we could. | 00:56:25 | |
Yes, because we put on their timeline. | 00:56:29 | |
Yeah, but this is. | 00:56:39 | |
It's something we should do, yeah, Yeah, we need to. We need for the needs of the residents first. | 00:56:41 | |
Regardless of what we think that we're going to be required to do by legislature. | 00:56:48 | |
But personally, residents do it. Yeah, question of what is that? | 00:56:53 | |
But regardless of that, it's also lots of residents are like. | 00:56:57 | |
But making every R1 zone R2. | 00:57:02 | |
So there's that, there's, there's the longer term strategic piece. So it doesn't seem to be an issue like it. | 00:57:05 | |
We should we should do this. | 00:57:10 | |
But that doesn't mean we have to put on the agenda to vote for the 2050. | 00:57:12 | |
Because there's some stuff that we can't, I don't want to spend. | 00:57:16 | |
You know, I say, let's give this 1/2 an hour, so we'll start chipping through these things, but we should vote this. | 00:57:20 | |
Put it on for a vote until we're comfortable. | 00:57:27 | |
That we've gone through all these things and reach what we agreed on. | 00:57:29 | |
The individual issues that are outlined here. | 00:57:34 | |
That really breakdown, that matrix that staff created about. | 00:57:37 | |
What the staff said they would recommend, and we're different from the Planning Commission. I think that was the issue we had | 00:57:41 | |
right and right. So I think we need to walk through, start walking through each of those individual issues. | 00:57:47 | |
See if we can reach consensus. | 00:57:53 | |
And you know, we can get through as much as we can, but I don't think they're, if we get through the night right. I don't want to | 00:57:56 | |
spend. | 00:57:58 | |
I don't want to spend an hour and a half. We can move it to the next. | 00:58:02 | |
To the 25th and continue and then when we're ready. | 00:58:07 | |
Will vote it or if we're still uncomfortable with it, we could always say. | 00:58:10 | |
Because it almost sounded like the Planning Commission punted a little bit on it to say, let's just. | 00:58:14 | |
These are. | 00:58:20 | |
Table it to a further date. | 00:58:25 | |
We can study it further. | 00:58:27 | |
Weights, and I think the Planning Commission too. | 00:58:29 | |
Especially when they were looking at like, let's start at this like we're all comfortable with reducing the law size. | 00:58:35 | |
Maybe then in two years or whatever period of time we can look at. | 00:58:43 | |
Reducing that more so I think having some of that periodic review I think and when you were talking about like. | 00:58:50 | |
Incremental. So maybe looking at it as an incremental, OK, what? | 00:58:57 | |
What things would be most important or high priority to pass and follow that with? Let's look at it in another year or two years | 00:59:02 | |
and. | 00:59:06 | |
What other things we? | 00:59:10 | |
I think when you're looking at like below hanging fruit when we got into the ordinance, it's like. | 00:59:13 | |
How do you? How do you? | 00:59:19 | |
Just single out just a little element when you could. | 00:59:22 | |
Comprehensively address some of the issues that are that are within it. | 00:59:26 | |
And that's when we got into looking at what the code is and what needed to be changed to allow for modification of or conversion | 00:59:31 | |
of the existing accessory buildings. That's where it got a little bit. | 00:59:37 | |
Like it's not as simple. | 00:59:44 | |
As the Planning Commission for their pointless. | 00:59:46 | |
Yeah, building a new structure complies with short standards is. | 00:59:49 | |
Possibly better than converting this thing. | 00:59:54 | |
So that's. | 00:59:57 | |
Gina, let me ask you how much of the budget discussion, how much is there? I mean, I'm going to guess that conversational thing is | 01:00:00 | |
20 minutes or so. | 01:00:04 | |
Well, why don't we? | 01:00:08 | |
This team my suggestions. Why don't we start going through? | 01:00:10 | |
The individual issues and see how far we get. | 01:00:14 | |
And it will take from there. But at some point I may just say, OK, let's. | 01:00:17 | |
Stop here. | 01:00:21 | |
Put it on for the 25th and we'll start over again. See if we get through, because I think we don't have there's no rush to focus. | 01:00:23 | |
It's just a quick comment and looking at the goals that we submitted. | 01:00:30 | |
It's a quarterly review. | 01:00:34 | |
That we are. | 01:00:37 | |
So it's not specific or what we've done, but just review any value. | 01:00:46 | |
There is a box needing to be checked that we can check as a result. | 01:00:55 | |
Looks like we've got the first quarter and second quarter, that's right. | 01:01:00 | |
Quick question to answer you if I mean, even if you pass new code or changes to the code, you could still have that review be part | 01:01:04 | |
of your. | 01:01:08 | |
How successful it was. Great. | 01:01:19 | |
Last because you kind of move through this. | 01:01:23 | |
If there are specific areas that are kind of addressed, the. | 01:01:27 | |
For, can you highlight those for? | 01:01:32 | |
Is that a specific issue? Is there or is it multiple to a degree? | 01:01:36 | |
Yeah, and I think that his situation is. | 01:01:44 | |
Would be more focused on impact. | 01:01:47 | |
And that was the kind of consideration of as well you know, what is the impact, how do you detach structures? | 01:01:50 | |
Affect neighboring properties, that's where the height limitation that they they wanted to have is in there. So if you have | 01:01:59 | |
something that's underground, what is the impact? | 01:02:03 | |
I think that that's a consideration for. | 01:02:08 | |
Conversion of existing structures. Can we do? | 01:02:13 | |
I think staff suggestion was. | 01:02:17 | |
Maybe having those be conditional use permits? | 01:02:19 | |
So that converting existing accessory structures. | 01:02:22 | |
To a accessory unit. | 01:02:26 | |
Would have to have a condition, at least permit review by the Planning Commission and then conditions are placed on those | 01:02:29 | |
specifically. | 01:02:32 | |
So that they have the oversight. You know the impact on this is too great. It can't be mitigated with XY or Z. | 01:02:36 | |
So that's an event would be. | 01:02:43 | |
So this is actually my question so. | 01:02:48 | |
Because this all started with the idea of enabling the conversion of existing structure. So is that are all these focused just in | 01:02:50 | |
that scenario or are they on new structures as well they be on new structures. So I just wanted to see the scope of it Okay, so | 01:02:57 | |
you have some elements of the code that then if you're converting existing structures. | 01:03:04 | |
That kind of effect other intersection, Yeah. So they're they're interrelated. That's fine. I just wanted to understand the scope, | 01:03:12 | |
so. | 01:03:15 | |
All right. | 01:03:18 | |
Main statement This addresses Mr. Hilton's comments. | 01:03:22 | |
That in the last public hearing. | 01:03:27 | |
That the C code. | 01:03:32 | |
Just references residential zones, so our code currently says single family zones. | 01:03:33 | |
So we're renewing single family and just adding. | 01:03:40 | |
Residential zones. | 01:03:43 | |
And we're adding detached structures. So then adus being added to two classes and family multi family units. | 01:03:45 | |
Are not permitted. | 01:03:55 | |
Yeah, previously we actually. | 01:03:58 | |
There's our one zones, but by state code it says all residential zones. | 01:04:01 | |
Single family residences shall be able to have. | 01:04:06 | |
This is the one that we really should change. | 01:04:10 | |
Does that include an art two zone? | 01:04:16 | |
Yes, you have. If it does have a single family house on it in our two zone, yes it does. | 01:04:19 | |
It wouldn't include, no. | 01:04:26 | |
So it has to be a detached structure. So if you have an R2 zone and it's an attached unit, SO2 units duplex. | 01:04:29 | |
You can't do an expensive. | 01:04:37 | |
So the qualifier is that it only applies to detached structures. | 01:04:40 | |
Because you could have a detached single family home that's in a. | 01:04:45 | |
Multi family Residential. | 01:04:50 | |
They can add an accessory welding unit. | 01:04:53 | |
All right. Next one. | 01:05:01 | |
Property owner on site. So our existing language just states with the property owner living on site. | 01:05:05 | |
We added additional language which requires owner occupancy by the property owner or an immediate family member. | 01:05:13 | |
The Planning Commission wanted to narrow that down to immediate family member. | 01:05:22 | |
Originally proposed. | 01:05:27 | |
Wider definition of family member. | 01:05:29 | |
We're fine with a narrow definition they wanted to have. Like if you have grandpa that owns property, maybe. | 01:05:32 | |
This father daughter can live in the house and still have an accessory well unit. | 01:05:39 | |
So they would fall under that definition of because they are. | 01:05:44 | |
Directly related as. | 01:05:49 | |
Do I have the language in there? It's. | 01:05:53 | |
Grandmother. Grandfather. | 01:05:56 | |
A son, daughter. | 01:05:59 | |
I don't think it's easy that queue. | 01:06:01 | |
Grandkids first level of relationship. | 01:06:06 | |
And that's if I get their code like it's spelled out what relationships are are in there. | 01:06:11 | |
Owner occupied requires full time residency, so that adds additional clarification. | 01:06:17 | |
From our existing language, there was like the three-year. | 01:06:24 | |
Is that device in state language is what will? | 01:06:32 | |
Typically under taxation purchases. | 01:06:36 | |
So I think it seemed after reside in your house as rigorous and store. | 01:06:39 | |
182 days a year, whatever more than six months is. | 01:06:45 | |
So that just requires the full residency and um. | 01:06:51 | |
We added language for occupancy some cities. | 01:06:58 | |
Want to limit the occupancy? We didn't want to get into limiting occupancy. | 01:07:04 | |
And that was the Planning Commission brought up like. | 01:07:12 | |
Well, what is that? | 01:07:15 | |
Code is. | 01:07:19 | |
You're not limiting occupancy to only two or only three. | 01:07:20 | |
That's the changes with kind of the ownership exceptions for military jobs, volunteer service. | 01:07:28 | |
Any questions on that one? | 01:07:38 | |
All right. | 01:07:41 | |
So can I just clarify when you say that for, excuse me, the staff recommendation works well, again, there's an evolution. | 01:07:45 | |
What's the frequency of these like? | 01:07:54 | |
Well, the frequency is more. | 01:08:03 | |
To the denials, we get a lot. | 01:08:06 | |
Maybe 20% of my. | 01:08:14 | |
How many applications? | 01:08:15 | |
Well, it's the people call and ask about it and we have a conversation saying you have to have it on have paper larger. | 01:08:17 | |
And so there's just for two times a lot of steps, yes. So do you see you get. | 01:08:26 | |
We get people in all the time I was. | 01:08:33 | |
We had we had at least two applications that we denied 0.48 and .46 acres we have. | 01:08:36 | |
People that are looking for and it's typically like I'm looking for a place for my mother-in-law to come live that has some work, | 01:08:45 | |
right? | 01:08:50 | |
In our 110 zone. | 01:08:55 | |
On what .48 and R110? | 01:08:57 | |
.48 in Norwin 10. | 01:09:03 | |
To have twice the minimum lot size. | 01:09:08 | |
Yes, I think they will. | 01:09:12 | |
Possibly. | 01:09:15 | |
R115 or something? | 01:09:18 | |
So I would suspect at least. | 01:09:21 | |
Four to six a week. | 01:09:23 | |
So once this changes. | 01:09:27 | |
That's going to generate a lot of. | 01:09:31 | |
Well, depending on how many. | 01:09:34 | |
All right, Parking. So right now our code is. | 01:09:42 | |
Calls for one additional on site parking spot. | 01:09:46 | |
We changed to. | 01:09:50 | |
If additional bedrooms are being added outside of the existing footprint of the house, and that doesn't matter if you're adding | 01:09:52 | |
on. | 01:09:56 | |
3 bedrooms as an Adu to reserve the same structure or three bedrooms in a detached structure. | 01:10:00 | |
Adding parking that's tied to the upper bedrooms that you're adding is that, is that. | 01:10:08 | |
Based on like how you would do it if someone's doing a remodel. This is a similar kind of remodel, so. | 01:10:14 | |
If they're just remodeling their their space. | 01:10:20 | |
We don't require additional parking there, but it's. | 01:10:25 | |
If they're adding on specifically to do an accessory welding unit. | 01:10:28 | |
And you're kind of adopting like the RM standards, it's parking standards that are political in any zone, OK? | 01:10:32 | |
Because the Planning Commission's. | 01:10:40 | |
Recommendation was. | 01:10:43 | |
Based on bedrooms, which is kind of a. | 01:10:45 | |
Parking standards It applies to RMR 2. | 01:10:49 | |
All of our excuse zones if you're adding. | 01:10:53 | |
Living units. Your parking spaces are tight. How many bedrooms? So it's one bedroom is 1 parking space, 2 bedrooms is 1 spaces. | 01:10:56 | |
So they would just have to have. | 01:11:08 | |
Those additional parking spaces instead of just. | 01:11:11 | |
And our current language also has no on street parking for Edu's. | 01:11:15 | |
So I'm sorry, can you explain the difference between your recommendation of the Planning Commission because. | 01:11:22 | |
Feels like what you explained similar to it. | 01:11:28 | |
Yeah, we didn't have the changes for the parking in the code. | 01:11:30 | |
Commission wanted to have some additional regulations for parking. | 01:11:35 | |
To adding. | 01:11:40 | |
External EU or adding? | 01:11:42 | |
Onto the structure specific. | 01:11:46 | |
Because that's the common issue with parking. Is common conservative neighbors when 80s are being built or are they going to park? | 01:11:50 | |
So how do you feel about their animation? | 01:11:55 | |
It makes sense. | 01:12:01 | |
And what's the internal Adu requirement for parking? It's just one off site, so that would stay the same. | 01:12:04 | |
Just because you're seeing that in terms of what an existing house is? | 01:12:12 | |
You're already going to have parking already tied to. | 01:12:16 | |
Currently so this is more than internal. | 01:12:23 | |
It's expanding outside of what the existing is. | 01:12:28 | |
So since you're adding more bedrooms on specifically for an accessory unit. | 01:12:32 | |
That's when you trigger then the additional parking requirements. | 01:12:37 | |
So it was their consensus that this was OK, or was this a point of contention? | 01:12:45 | |
This one looks fine. OK, that's great. | 01:12:50 | |
External Adu minimum lot size. | 01:12:54 | |
Current language is. | 01:12:59 | |
Be located on a lot of record measuring twice minimum or a minimum. | 01:13:01 | |
Commonly what we see on half acre and larger lots is that people would typically build a guest house with a larger footprint on | 01:13:07 | |
it. It's suitably larger properties that can't be subdivided because they're in. | 01:13:13 | |
A1 acre bottom or two acre, whatever that might be. | 01:13:20 | |
So, and since they can't subdivide it like mobile build a guest house and my kids will live here, we've done several conditional | 01:13:24 | |
use permit support. | 01:13:28 | |
Increasing the low print size for a guest house. | 01:13:34 | |
For that kind of situation. | 01:13:36 | |
Typically with your larger lots of points, the larger. | 01:13:39 | |
Structures that are being built. | 01:13:42 | |
Most commonly for family user, they're not going to build it. | 01:13:44 | |
2000 Square House. | 01:13:49 | |
So just they use. | 01:13:52 | |
Intent is typically different on larger properties things. | 01:13:54 | |
So stop. | 01:13:59 | |
Staff recommendation was because accessory building footprints are regulated based off of the footprint size. | 01:14:03 | |
Proportional when you have a smaller watch. | 01:14:15 | |
Smaller accessory building. | 01:14:18 | |
So that was kind of the logic behind that. That's all we watched. | 01:14:20 | |
You're going to have smaller structure coverage percentage allowed. | 01:14:24 | |
Just like to build a giant house on. | 01:14:28 | |
Small lots you wouldn't be able to do like a big house and a big accessory, so. | 01:14:30 | |
It balances out with lot coverage and. | 01:14:36 | |
So that's where SAP was comfortable. | 01:14:41 | |
That let's just have it be on any box and these other regulations that are in place kind of. | 01:14:44 | |
Keep that. | 01:14:50 | |
Although this could also be one of those potential progression elements where you start here and we. | 01:14:53 | |
That's what the Planning Commission would recommend. | 01:15:00 | |
Let's start at quarter acre and see how that goes and if we've been. | 01:15:03 | |
Reducing up to. | 01:15:11 | |
Any lodge for 8000 square foot. | 01:15:14 | |
See. | 01:15:19 | |
Portions that are typically. | 01:15:20 | |
Oscillate the R18 zones are up in here District plan. | 01:15:23 | |
Or Drew, sorry. | 01:15:27 | |
So those are R18 we have a small section down by. | 01:15:30 | |
Highlands. | 01:15:36 | |
And I think over in your. | 01:15:40 | |
Where I am. | 01:15:44 | |
There's just a few small sections that are R18, so that's where you see those. | 01:15:51 | |
Yeah, they would likely put in smaller external units, if at all. Yeah, they're already pretty pressed on their last day, so | 01:16:01 | |
that's what you're saying. This is allowed R1A. | 01:16:07 | |
Yeah, and they want to put DAU on it. | 01:16:13 | |
How are they going to do it with block coverage and setbacks? I mean, it's almost right, they can't convert an existing building, | 01:16:16 | |
but it's just basically saying why don't we just say 10,000 square feet and then if we want to revisit it, but we're not | 01:16:22 | |
comfortable below that. So this was one of the issues that I thought. | 01:16:28 | |
Mr. Kemp was saying it was prohibitive for him, right? His property is just under 8000 square feet. So he was he's our 1/8. | 01:16:35 | |
His property was originally 8000 square feet, but because of. | 01:16:48 | |
Dedication. He's just below 8000. | 01:16:53 | |
But if he zoned R18 and we said we're, well, yes. So if we said 8000 square foot lots, he still doesn't hate the regulation. | 01:16:57 | |
And that's worth like, yeah, you can still have. | 01:17:05 | |
If you reduce that minimum, just not have minimum lot size, it's a meeting all these qualifications. | 01:17:07 | |
And looking at the impact. | 01:17:15 | |
If you could have the accessory structure, that maybe doesn't have a large impact on neighboring properties. | 01:17:18 | |
So what does he have there? That's an issue? Does he have a garage that has so his detached garage? | 01:17:26 | |
Has a large house that's fronting onto butternuts and then the small side street is where the detached garage is. | 01:17:34 | |
And they detached it so that it can go closer to the property line because and where's the? Where's the dwelling here? | 01:17:41 | |
Underneath the rush. So it really purposes it should be an internal dwelling here like that's really is there a way? But is there | 01:17:50 | |
a way? | 01:17:55 | |
Inside the code to cover that but like. | 01:18:01 | |
In terms of how do you define an attachment or? | 01:18:04 | |
It's within so many feet of the house. Yeah, that's why he was bringing up IS. | 01:18:08 | |
Is there some way to create? | 01:18:12 | |
Something in the code that yes it's. | 01:18:16 | |
Within a specific distance, the primary. | 01:18:19 | |
Then it would be. | 01:18:22 | |
Internal. Is that possible? | 01:18:25 | |
Yeah, because I see what I know of the house. | 01:18:33 | |
And it's certainly not interest to the neighborhood, so I can see where he's coming from. | 01:18:37 | |
But I wouldn't want to. | 01:18:42 | |
Write code based on. | 01:18:44 | |
But this is a good example of where law is a clunky way we do the best we can, right? | 01:18:48 | |
Right came down to existing buildings. | 01:18:57 | |
So those are kind of the elements that were proposed. | 01:19:03 | |
Wasn't necessary. | 01:19:12 | |
So if we adopted the staff recommendations, this. | 01:19:20 | |
Here. | 01:19:27 | |
The staff recommendation is. | 01:19:34 | |
All the staff. | 01:19:40 | |
What about when you said conversion of existing buildings would be a conditional use? | 01:19:42 | |
And that would that's a staff recommendation as well. So that's that additional, yeah, it's an additional oversight that. | 01:19:48 | |
We're not just going to outright permit conversion of the accessory buildings, we want to have those reviewed by the planning to | 01:19:55 | |
look at what are the specific impacts. | 01:20:00 | |
Of this existing structure. | 01:20:06 | |
What does what impact does that have on the neighbors and how are we going to address those? | 01:20:09 | |
It could cover any conversion of the existing, but it's already. | 01:20:17 | |
And he he could have played. | 01:20:24 | |
Might be difficult to mitigate. | 01:20:26 | |
Why would we not want to go that route? | 01:20:28 | |
Like why would the Planning Commission not support that? | 01:20:35 | |
To me it leaves all of the controls in place to allow for. | 01:20:39 | |
The conditions to be right for it and the conditions are right for it. Let me get to that right. | 01:20:44 | |
Yeah, and so you have to drop the specific conditions. | 01:20:48 | |
They might be twice, so if you're not going to a person, well it's impact based. You have to have conditioning uses are best. | 01:20:53 | |
Deny implement conditions can't be migrated. | 01:21:02 | |
Are shown to not be able. | 01:21:05 | |
There is some arbitrariness. | 01:21:09 | |
So we could still go this route here or code that discuss the automatic stand approval and Mr. Kent could still get what he wants | 01:21:13 | |
through the conditioned use. | 01:21:19 | |
Process if you can show that the. | 01:21:25 | |
But the impacts are especially mitigated. | 01:21:29 | |
Where you can have any. So another way to address that minimum block size too is you could keep the 10,000 as permitted. | 01:21:32 | |
Lots less than 10,000 square feet could be a conditional. | 01:21:40 | |
I think that's a good idea, yeah. I think because I think everybody here agrees that. | 01:21:46 | |
Right. We don't. | 01:21:52 | |
There's no issue with this House, but yet the way we have to write our code. | 01:21:55 | |
Can we make a path? | 01:22:02 | |
Say, look. | 01:22:04 | |
There's exceptions to this that we have to be able to. | 01:22:06 | |
Use our best judgment and say, look, the intention was to do this. This doesn't violate any of those intentions, so. | 01:22:10 | |
So the logging is still not for away. | 01:22:18 | |
That just doesn't get the automatic standard goes through the additional steps to make it happen. | 01:22:22 | |
Enough applications, so the Planning Commission then we should reevaluate, we come back and release that requirement and get | 01:22:28 | |
another check box. | 01:22:32 | |
So how do we say keep to 10,000 feet? And then what would we write into the code? | 01:22:40 | |
To allow some flexibility there. | 01:22:45 | |
And then you have to write up the conditions or. | 01:22:50 | |
Oh, oh, well, there you go. | 01:22:57 | |
Yeah, are you guys any conditional use impacts already built in here? | 01:23:00 | |
It's pretty generic list that makes a lot of sense. | 01:23:04 | |
Do you feel like I mean? | 01:23:08 | |
That his situation. | 01:23:10 | |
Would be allowed given the current. | 01:23:13 | |
Probably. | 01:23:15 | |
There's an exiting. There's a door issue. | 01:23:17 | |
But that's mitigated. | 01:23:24 | |
People ******* out their front door into someone elses backyard where this is below Gray so that might need to be a. | 01:23:28 | |
In addition to the languages below, grade exits or entrances because you might have like. | 01:23:37 | |
For the entrance, that's probably not going in there, yeah. | 01:23:44 | |
Next one. | 01:23:54 | |
Bed bath. | 01:23:59 | |
OK, so existing is compiled with setbacks letter to standard in our code. | 01:24:03 | |
Our code existing code does have an additional 25% set back required for external data use. | 01:24:10 | |
The changes by Planning Commission wanted to put a minimum set back of 10 feet on all parcels greater. | 01:24:20 | |
Well, that would be. | 01:24:30 | |
Oh yeah, so they were, they're drawing the line at 10,000 square foot, so. | 01:24:34 | |
At least 10 feet on all parcels and then that would increase as the parcel size. | 01:24:38 | |
What up? | 01:24:45 | |
I don't think I have the table in here. It's in the. | 01:24:48 | |
And the code modifications, but it makes it really clear on the proposed text you see the changes on that 25% column. | 01:24:52 | |
Increase from I think it starts at like 5 or 6 feet and it goes 10 feet for the first three and it goes I think to 12 feet. | 01:25:02 | |
Will this be another one of those? | 01:25:13 | |
This can be this. | 01:25:15 | |
Rubber stamp standard attendant. | 01:25:17 | |
Should less than that would be a conditional use or is that this be a harder hurdle, the conditional use mitigation blah blah | 01:25:19 | |
blah. Yeah, from my point of view that this is a little bit harder because. | 01:25:24 | |
Once you start moving those primary structure, the ancillary structure property line. | 01:25:29 | |
Usually, inevitably, you're going to get something else that's replacing it. | 01:25:35 | |
Swimming pool court. | 01:25:39 | |
Where those might be situated elsewhere. | 01:25:41 | |
Especially when you had a conflict of the primary building probably having more restrictive setbacks than what the. | 01:25:46 | |
Yeah, vice versa, yeah. | 01:25:53 | |
Yeah, when you're looking at what this looks like, you're going to have. | 01:25:57 | |
He has to push the building away, but you're going to have a 10 foot kind of gutter around your building. They're going to push | 01:26:01 | |
it. | 01:26:06 | |
Probably into a corner of a yard 10 feet on. | 01:26:11 | |
Verse 510 feet on the side. Can it just be used for landscaping? Likely. | 01:26:15 | |
But it's it's a pretty significant business. | 01:26:23 | |
Especially where you're if you're looking at. | 01:26:28 | |
Typical layouts of properties. | 01:26:31 | |
It's all backyard, so you have a 25 to 35 foot set back on each rear yard. | 01:26:33 | |
And you have increasing distance requirements for additional height. | 01:26:40 | |
So some of the staff recommendations. | 01:26:47 | |
You could just leave it at the 25%. | 01:26:51 | |
Required for externally uses in existing code. | 01:26:54 | |
You could. | 01:27:01 | |
Consider that you could leave a 10 foot set back on the rear side and then have the side setbacks meet. | 01:27:04 | |
The primary structure setbacks. | 01:27:12 | |
So that might be. | 01:27:15 | |
That makes the Amy. | 01:27:17 | |
If you're meeting the primary structure or the lesser of primary structure, set back or MP. | 01:27:20 | |
That makes a lot of sense. | 01:27:27 | |
Or there might be in this situation where the lot. | 01:27:31 | |
May not be impacting the neighbors. | 01:27:33 | |
All especially in. | 01:27:36 | |
Your neighborhood when you. | 01:27:38 | |
Set back doesn't make sense or against that winkle. | 01:27:42 | |
That makes sense, right? | 01:27:47 | |
They probably you could use process in that situation as well, right if there's if the backside is. | 01:27:49 | |
Family cooler 'cause that should be right in all those characteristics, but it might be easier. | 01:27:58 | |
Or. | 01:28:04 | |
Order in. | 01:28:06 | |
Residential. | 01:28:08 | |
Could you just say it that way? And and? | 01:28:11 | |
Or it could just be that similar process to additional use permit for a. | 01:28:14 | |
For building footprint size for an accessory building, those are required to go to a conditional use if they're larger size. | 01:28:23 | |
So if you want a. | 01:28:30 | |
Set back that's smaller than 10 feet. | 01:28:32 | |
So having specific things that. | 01:28:38 | |
You can get a conditional use permit. | 01:28:45 | |
If you want the various reductions. | 01:28:48 | |
Similar to what we had, we had for a larger footprint size. | 01:28:54 | |
That makes sense to me, except for where it's a budding, a non residential area. I feel like that's something that we could just | 01:28:59 | |
just include because. | 01:29:03 | |
That just was like another hurdle and I feel like. | 01:29:07 | |
Why would we not? | 01:29:10 | |
Give somebody back. | 01:29:11 | |
I don't know, maybe you guys have the best definition or is there a reason that's something that we could change just in our | 01:29:13 | |
accessory building setbacks overall is. | 01:29:17 | |
Because that would be applicable for any A. | 01:29:23 | |
Garage. That's a good idea. | 01:29:28 | |
If you have a. | 01:29:31 | |
Attracting or abutting use, that is. | 01:29:33 | |
Now if you already, you already have. | 01:29:43 | |
Accessory Accessory. | 01:29:50 | |
Buildings. | 01:29:53 | |
Now we're just talking about dwelling buildings. | 01:29:55 | |
So now if you because connecting the situation, somebody really hasn't out. | 01:29:58 | |
Outbuilding. It's not as long just an accessory building. It's right up against the fence line. | 01:30:03 | |
I mean, the impact is. | 01:30:09 | |
People are having their assessing dwelling unit. | 01:30:12 | |
Overlooking someone's empty backyard, but someone already has a. | 01:30:15 | |
Garage, right on the back fence line. That's not a dwelling unit. Who cares if you have 10 feet, isn't there? | 01:30:19 | |
So we're getting into a lot of weird conditions. | 01:30:26 | |
But I think we, I mean like Greg, you still have to come up with what's the river stamp versus what's the conditional use permit. | 01:30:29 | |
But yeah, he. | 01:30:37 | |
You want to make additional use being overly common when our whole goal is to get out of there. Well, that's what I'm wondering | 01:30:39 | |
about. If like it's not residential, then that feels pretty straightforward. And then for the situation as you're talking about, | 01:30:45 | |
yeah, so maybe that we're OK with the 10 feet, but then in part of the condition use permit if you look at. | 01:30:52 | |
What is it overlooking? | 01:30:59 | |
Sure. You know, if it's overlooking a backyard, well, you might have a problem. | 01:31:01 | |
When I go closer. | 01:31:04 | |
But if you're if you're butting up against an RN zone and it's the parking lot bookings or if you're even up against a. | 01:31:06 | |
About any single family home. | 01:31:14 | |
Zone, but if they already have their own. | 01:31:16 | |
Accessory building. | 01:31:19 | |
Who cares? | 01:31:22 | |
That kind of setback issue would be applicable for accessory only. Use accessory buildings overall, I think, so we could just put | 01:31:29 | |
it into our setback code of accessory buildings overall if they're a budding. | 01:31:36 | |
Whatever specific uses of. | 01:31:44 | |
These non residential uses those. | 01:31:49 | |
Properties could have an accessory building that is. | 01:31:52 | |
On a property bank or. | 01:31:56 | |
So I think you know the objective. | 01:31:59 | |
Yeah, what you can write into code that's rubber stand? Great. | 01:32:01 | |
What you think should go to conditional use and. | 01:32:05 | |
Provide flexibility without having to ****** up the code. | 01:32:08 | |
Does that sound good? | 01:32:12 | |
Exactly. | 01:32:15 | |
Maximum height. | 01:32:30 | |
Existing code for accessory buildings is a 20 foot maximum height. | 01:32:33 | |
The changes that the Planning Commission approved was. | 01:32:41 | |
They wanted to see the big space only on route. | 01:32:45 | |
On parcels that are smaller than half an acre, what's defined as a living space? Bedrooms. OK, so if you have like a game room or | 01:32:50 | |
something above the garage that does. | 01:32:54 | |
It would be more like that, probably. Living space, yeah. | 01:32:59 | |
By the building code center is all concerned. | 01:33:17 | |
You can't exclude. | 01:33:21 | |
Well, so then are we saying that we can't go above a garage? Really. | 01:33:23 | |
Yes. | 01:33:30 | |
Unless you bring your structure in far enough. | 01:33:33 | |
Edge So first you have a massive lot size really. | 01:33:37 | |
Well, of course we. | 01:33:41 | |
How do we deal with? | 01:33:43 | |
The current code does not. This is. | 01:33:47 | |
Changes to bring it down to ground level. | 01:33:50 | |
Current code just says 20 feet, same as any accessory building but 20 feet, but it could be up or down. | 01:33:53 | |
Yeah, any part of the structure. | 01:34:01 | |
So the change is have to be on the ground level. | 01:34:04 | |
If you're even, if you're 20 feet, you. | 01:34:10 | |
You can still build a 20 foot structure, but you can't have any living space. | 01:34:13 | |
In the area, yes. So you can. | 01:34:17 | |
Apartment or garage, Yeah. | 01:34:20 | |
Unless you move your building in or under factory. | 01:34:23 | |
Yeah. | 01:34:29 | |
That has a family room above. | 01:34:31 | |
And they were trying to prevent that overlooking into. | 01:34:37 | |
A little bit of background on the 20 foot height. We spent a lot of time in 2015 to get to that number. | 01:34:43 | |
That is just enough. | 01:34:49 | |
Upper level story. | 01:34:53 | |
It's not a lot of height to get like a second level. | 01:34:54 | |
It's just enough to get. | 01:34:59 | |
Bonus space up above your garage. | 01:35:01 | |
Studio something pretty small with cables. | 01:35:04 | |
That was the whole issue with my neighbor Mike. You were when we went to the double. | 01:35:08 | |
Bob size because he had blink 48, Maryland 10. | 01:35:12 | |
He wanted to put. | 01:35:16 | |
Alien sister in a over the garage apartment. | 01:35:18 | |
This would cause a problem, at least in terms of rubber stamp. I suppose even he might have had a. | 01:35:23 | |
Conditional use because I think his garage. | 01:35:29 | |
Was on the. | 01:35:31 | |
The circle side, not overlooking a backyard side. | 01:35:33 | |
Oh, that's yeah, that's true. | 01:35:38 | |
So that's that note on the on the building right there. | 01:35:40 | |
A lot of people are. | 01:35:45 | |
Want to do any cash? We have some older houses that don't have attached brushes or they're looking for an additional space. It's a | 01:35:46 | |
good way to meet parking requirements for the Adu when you're building an additional garage. | 01:35:52 | |
Cost effective? It makes sense to add a living unit if you're already building any cash garage. | 01:35:59 | |
So that's where the staff recommendation for. | 01:36:04 | |
Allowing up to 25 feet. | 01:36:08 | |
At 20 feet, people who want to build a garage with the unit above it, they just do a flat roof. | 01:36:10 | |
The extra 5 piece typically just adds for that architectural feature of having a history. | 01:36:16 | |
You still gotta meet like graduated. | 01:36:22 | |
High requirements. | 01:36:26 | |
Relationship to the setbacks, right? Her relationship with property life. But yeah, I mean, it seems to me like. | 01:36:28 | |
That's the most common. | 01:36:34 | |
Use of an Eau you're going to get is. | 01:36:37 | |
Put in the nice apartment above the garage as opposed to the. | 01:36:40 | |
In the back, but we're still keeping it on larger parcels right this half acre. | 01:36:45 | |
Going up, they couldn't recover. It would be on any. | 01:36:50 | |
So what would assure the? | 01:36:59 | |
Maintaining graduated, Graduated high. | 01:37:03 | |
So and the next letter? Dresses. That plan Commission was to reduce the graduated height or accessory buildings. | 01:37:06 | |
So we'll get into that on the next one, but that would provide a lot of the control for that. | 01:37:15 | |
For the additional rate. | 01:37:21 | |
And really, that additional 5 feet is going to be this room. | 01:37:22 | |
So it avoids having a flat root structure. | 01:37:26 | |
Typically, people don't love. | 01:37:30 | |
Yeah, so it's. Yes, it's extra, right? So it's probably more acceptable visual heights than if they built a. | 01:37:40 | |
I mean my issue is if they build a. | 01:37:53 | |
Eadu. | 01:37:56 | |
Like they want to build a garage. | 01:37:58 | |
Of a 10,000 foot lot. | 01:38:00 | |
They're still going to have block coverage issues and set back issues. It's going to be hard to do anyway, right? | 01:38:03 | |
Just because having it. | 01:38:10 | |
But if they can, then they can. | 01:38:12 | |
Meet all their requirements. | 01:38:14 | |
Why would you want to? | 01:38:17 | |
Putting the EE 8. | 01:38:18 | |
The AU of the garage. | 01:38:20 | |
It's a good it's a good use of flash when you have garage that addresses your. We're still only talking about detached garages, | 01:38:24 | |
right? Because if it's attached, garage is not external. | 01:38:28 | |
Yeah, and then later we get to where the windows are and everything, because that was the other privacy issue that. | 01:38:33 | |
So I would agree with staff on that. | 01:38:38 | |
On the 25. | 01:38:41 | |
And you could still keep all accessory buildings at 20 feet, but that extra 5 foot bonus for the. | 01:38:43 | |
You're adding an accessory unit. | 01:38:50 | |
So keeping keeping toy. | 01:38:56 | |
25 or accessory buildings that have a unit they're going to if they're going to provide housing, right? Yeah. | 01:39:01 | |
Yeah, you look at garages today. Maybe you'll have something to build this. | 01:39:15 | |
2000 square foot garage but. | 01:39:30 | |
Likely 900 square feet, which is. | 01:39:32 | |
Let's see, did we hit all the points on that? | 01:39:42 | |
I think so. I just want to make sure that I understand. So currently they can go 20, but what you're recommending is 25 for the | 01:39:45 | |
pitch group like that's. | 01:39:49 | |
Sorry, one text on here. | 01:39:59 | |
Looks like we've got what? Three more? Four more? | 01:40:02 | |
We can get through them. | 01:40:05 | |
Lot coverage, super easy, so we just added. | 01:40:08 | |
A reference to lock coverage compliance code. | 01:40:12 | |
2nd floor windows. | 01:40:16 | |
Our current code did not include any language about second floor windows. | 01:40:18 | |
The new changes have. | 01:40:23 | |
Address windows on the rear and side property lines for a second floor. | 01:40:26 | |
Windows. | 01:40:31 | |
So if you have. | 01:40:33 | |
Safety cash garage living unit above it on the second floor. | 01:40:35 | |
If you're. | 01:40:40 | |
Within 10 feet of a property line, then your windows have to be at least six feet off the ground. | 01:40:42 | |
Or on the floor of that second, so that accounts for some windows as opposed to. | 01:40:49 | |
Yeah. And that that would be applicable just on career anti property. | 01:40:57 | |
OK. | 01:41:05 | |
I didn't realize that was in there. I'm sorry. That's OK That's going to create a problem with building code compliance you can't | 01:41:08 | |
have. | 01:41:11 | |
Right. If you have bedrooms, you have to have. | 01:41:17 | |
So they might have to find me. | 01:41:22 | |
You know, you got to have that, and I think it's maybe it's Windows that open. | 01:41:25 | |
So you have to have. | 01:41:32 | |
You have to have an honorable window for building code. | 01:41:34 | |
That is awesome and I'm just wondering if. | 01:41:37 | |
What's the? I think this could probably match the primary structure, so requirements as opposed to being. | 01:41:44 | |
And because you've got a primary structure, that's. | 01:41:50 | |
No, Messiah, you've gotten a 10 foot right, and those windows don't have to be over 6 feet, right? Right. So can we sort of just | 01:41:53 | |
match? | 01:41:58 | |
Primary window regulation What do we need to do with ADUS for Windows? | 01:42:04 | |
To be different just from the primary structure. The presenters build their house at that point anyways, yeah. | 01:42:10 | |
And I'm not sure if we need. | 01:42:15 | |
This once we're looking at the graduated height, because if we're only looking at windows around the 2nd floor, what would the | 01:42:17 | |
reduced graduated height? It pushes the building, Pushes it back anyway could go that distance anyway, penalizing the Edu. I think | 01:42:24 | |
it's an unnecessary rate. | 01:42:31 | |
All right. Graduated heights. So currently we don't have any. | 01:42:41 | |
Reference to graduated code. | 01:42:49 | |
Existing is 8 feet and I think everyone is familiar with my graduated night works. Please explain it. I just want to make sure | 01:42:53 | |
that what I yeah so. | 01:42:59 | |
You take at the property line, you go up 8 feet, so it's like putting the fence of eight feet on the property line and then it's a | 01:43:05 | |
45° angle over from that 8 foot mark. | 01:43:10 | |
And that is your intersection point. | 01:43:16 | |
So naturally with your angle, the closer your building gets, the shorter it has to be. So you have to move your building way | 01:43:19 | |
further. | 01:43:23 | |
To increase an eggs, right? | 01:43:27 | |
And is that really standard code? | 01:43:29 | |
Across most like. | 01:43:32 | |
Is that very unique holiday or is that something? | 01:43:34 | |
It was. | 01:43:40 | |
Mill Creek copied our code. | 01:43:44 | |
For their Marcus residential. | 01:43:47 | |
Building is normally traditionally when it's called. | 01:43:56 | |
What's the difference between this and the graduated height of a regular house? So the regular house would be 8 feet. Proposed | 01:44:02 | |
language reduces that to six feet for an accessory building or for a. | 01:44:10 | |
Accessory. | 01:44:18 | |
So you can see the difference that that makes on. I gave a couple of examples. | 01:44:21 | |
If you have a. | 01:44:27 | |
Accessory building that has a 5 foot set back. | 01:44:29 | |
And that six foot graduated height. | 01:44:32 | |
Your intersection point is 11 feet. | 01:44:35 | |
So you're 11 or single level? | 01:44:38 | |
With that, so you'd have to move further away. | 01:44:42 | |
To get up to a second floor anyway. | 01:44:46 | |
So if you want 18 feet of wall height for two levels. | 01:44:48 | |
Your structure is going to be 12 feet off the property line, naturally. | 01:44:53 | |
So it just keeps you from getting too intrusive to your neighbor. So is that more restrictive than if it was? | 01:44:58 | |
Yes. | 01:45:07 | |
To be the same if that six wouldn't have to be, would just be 8 to 8. | 01:45:09 | |
Is it necessary? | 01:45:14 | |
So did the staff have an issue with that? | 01:45:18 | |
I think that was something that they brought up. | 01:45:21 | |
The geometry doesn't work for these smaller buildings. For bigger buildings it works because you have bigger setbacks. | 01:45:27 | |
So because it's. | 01:45:33 | |
One foot up for one foot in. | 01:45:36 | |
If you have the five foot set back. | 01:45:39 | |
Comes out to 11 feet. | 01:45:41 | |
That's barely your first floor. | 01:45:43 | |
That's fairly a garage. | 01:45:46 | |
Usually the top of your garage is 13 feet. | 01:45:49 | |
So then you start immediately moving it away just to make your garage work. | 01:45:52 | |
But that is also a very common complaint that we get from people, neighboring residents of oh, there's this really big structure, | 01:45:58 | |
so. | 01:46:03 | |
For the when we back up the week. | 01:46:09 | |
Talked about the. | 01:46:12 | |
The foot. | 01:46:15 | |
Right as the rubber stamp. | 01:46:17 | |
And unless that is additional use is that we decided on that one. I can't track. What do we decide on that? | 01:46:19 | |
Anything closer is initially okay, so then we want this to. | 01:46:26 | |
How to be synchronous with that right, So if the Planning Commission approves something closer? | 01:46:32 | |
This will still apply in very much restrict the height of that building, so we probably want to have. | 01:46:40 | |
The rubber stamp synchronous, but then the conditional uses. | 01:46:48 | |
Then the geometric. | 01:46:53 | |
They will be so hard to administer in this kind of a format because. | 01:47:01 | |
The law requires we have objective standards. | 01:47:10 | |
To guide your condition to use and. It says that if the conditions can be substantially mitigated, they're entitled to the | 01:47:14 | |
condition. | 01:47:18 | |
Right. And that. | 01:47:22 | |
Substantial mitigate means is. | 01:47:24 | |
Not certain enough for me to feel like you're going to get results that are. | 01:47:28 | |
A predictable BE. | 01:47:34 | |
Truly mitigating. | 01:47:37 | |
In most cases and I think you could end up with a lot of challenges on that, so. | 01:47:39 | |
I think you would look. | 01:47:44 | |
Better at ordinances that have exception standards. | 01:47:45 | |
Like your set back is 10 feet unless. | 01:47:49 | |
Your Adu is. | 01:47:52 | |
Bad enough against it not having the structure. | 01:47:54 | |
You know your set back on the side is. | 01:47:59 | |
15 feet. | 01:48:01 | |
You're going to have, I think you're looking, more exceptions in the air conditioning uses. | 01:48:08 | |
If you want to have. | 01:48:12 | |
Enforceable ordinance. | 01:48:14 | |
That will work. | 01:48:16 | |
And that's hard. It's going to be complex, but I think that's a better approach than conditional use. So when you talk about the | 01:48:18 | |
simple standard. | 01:48:21 | |
Rubber stamp or. | 01:48:25 | |
I think instead of conditional use approach you probably be talking about, This is where you get a rubber stamp. | 01:48:28 | |
Here's the exceptions. So we can push into some of those areas or go up or. | 01:48:33 | |
Whatever that might be. | 01:48:39 | |
Right. So then that backs up. | 01:48:41 | |
Instead of doing the initial use for the less than 10. | 01:48:45 | |
We've got to delineate what are the circumstances where you can go less than 10. I think that's a better approach for you, which | 01:48:50 | |
is, which is essentially just the way to stack it in the 1st place. Sure, the 25% instead of the 10. | 01:48:56 | |
You want to backpack that then? | 01:49:04 | |
Go back to the. | 01:49:06 | |
1st we were thinking about doing that. 10 is how it counted uninhabitable. | 01:49:09 | |
Scenario. I mean, there are different things you can do, yeah, that's one obviously, right. | 01:49:14 | |
Garage sort of on their back property line. I want to put an Edu back there. | 01:49:20 | |
You know it's not having the structure. It's not. | 01:49:26 | |
Looks like like. | 01:49:31 | |
I think the additional use process because the legal standard is. | 01:49:35 | |
Unless the conditions can be substantially mitigated, it has to be granted. | 01:49:38 | |
You're going to have problems administering that overtime. | 01:49:42 | |
I think you will. | 01:49:45 | |
End up with the situation where Planning Commission motion that looks something to say no. | 01:49:47 | |
But legally they're going to be entitled because it's not. | 01:49:53 | |
Holy made it. She actually made it. We don't know what that means. Presumptions generally run. | 01:49:56 | |
To the property owners and free use of land and not the regulating agency, I just think it gets to be. | 01:50:01 | |
Less secure method of. | 01:50:07 | |
So you open up the conditional use door, it's just going to be opened and I really feel like it's going to end up being that way. | 01:50:10 | |
Do you feel like that's also the case with the box size? | 01:50:15 | |
Because we had talked about using that, so. | 01:50:21 | |
If you can have any of you. | 01:50:24 | |
10,000 feet. If you're less than that, it's a conditional use. | 01:50:27 | |
He's like, that's the same thing where we need to. | 01:50:30 | |
If you can set objective standards for conditional use. In that case, I like it a little better than some of the dimensional | 01:50:33 | |
controls. | 01:50:36 | |
But it still presents the same kind of legal problem. | 01:50:40 | |
It's not any different in the analysis, big picture. | 01:50:43 | |
And ordinances with all those exceptions are hard to write. | 01:50:47 | |
From the state's point of view. | 01:50:53 | |
They're considering accessory dwelling units. | 01:50:55 | |
Across the world by right. | 01:50:58 | |
Do you think cities are going to start moving toward conditional situations are going to be targeted? | 01:51:00 | |
Yeah, they do. And I've heard no. | 01:51:05 | |
I haven't heard any discussion of the external Adu stuff. | 01:51:08 | |
I heard whispers of it. | 01:51:13 | |
The same year discussion. | 01:51:16 | |
But I have heard much about the external. | 01:51:18 | |
So we're looking at. | 01:51:23 | |
Exception could be. | 01:51:28 | |
That it's the hard. | 01:51:30 | |
Building footprint size. | 01:51:33 | |
So, oh, that makes. | 01:51:35 | |
Yeah, so currently. | 01:51:36 | |
You have building footprint, all those smaller properties for accessory buildings and get 700 or 750 square feet. | 01:51:39 | |
So they no conditional use. | 01:51:46 | |
Permit for an accessory building size. | 01:51:49 | |
So you're it's hard limited to this. | 01:51:51 | |
On those lots, so that would meet Mr. Kent. | 01:51:56 | |
Exception, but it would also not create the conditional. | 01:51:59 | |
So you could pay a specific square footage for externally use on a lot smaller than 10,000 square feet. So that's setting a | 01:52:04 | |
standard instead of having it go to a conditional use. | 01:52:09 | |
So back to this one. | 01:52:17 | |
Are you saying that the six? | 01:52:19 | |
Graduated high. | 01:52:23 | |
Isn't workable. | 01:52:25 | |
I don't think it is, architecturally. | 01:52:26 | |
I think it should be the same standard that is, yeah, for the rest of the prime rank regular. | 01:52:36 | |
But it still limits the height to 25 feet, right? And as they graduated and usually those R ones are. | 01:52:42 | |
What, 32 feet? | 01:52:49 | |
What's in our one height? | 01:52:51 | |
What is it the same for? | 01:52:55 | |
15,035. | 01:53:01 | |
But regardless, that's going to be capped at 25. | 01:53:05 | |
Well, we just have to. | 01:53:11 | |
The planning would have to go against Planning Commission recommendation, 16 said they said look. | 01:53:13 | |
Fake things it's not. | 01:53:19 | |
They were trying to accomplish. | 01:53:22 | |
Making sure that it's. | 01:53:28 | |
Put in prayer, Ashley. | 01:53:30 | |
So the the 80s can still do that? | 01:53:33 | |
Because that's what we run into, particularly if we. | 01:53:38 | |
Can. | 01:53:49 | |
With the 8 foot intersection. | 01:53:50 | |
Is that an additional? | 01:53:53 | |
Yeah, just their recognition is to have a. | 01:53:56 | |
Yeah. | 01:54:07 | |
All right, this is the section on conversion of existing accessory buildings. | 01:54:17 | |
Yes, last one. | 01:54:24 | |
So. | 01:54:27 | |
When we looked at it and said OK, here are some potential issues that existing. | 01:54:28 | |
Accessory buildings may have that we need to. | 01:54:34 | |
They don't hear any standards. | 01:54:37 | |
Will your accessory building that you're converting these standards? | 01:54:39 | |
If not, how are they going to be addressed? | 01:54:43 | |
And Planning Commission. | 01:54:48 | |
They were wary. | 01:54:51 | |
Converting. They recognize that there's probably a lot of. | 01:54:53 | |
Measures that are right next to property lines. | 01:54:57 | |
Solid county work. There's much smaller than what they are currently. | 01:55:02 | |
So they just said, you know, right? | 01:55:06 | |
We're not comfortable with. | 01:55:09 | |
Temporary existing existing accessory structures. | 01:55:11 | |
So we didn't even get into discussing. | 01:55:15 | |
Any of the standards that were. | 01:55:19 | |
So you sat you basically saying if. | 01:55:22 | |
You've got if you've got an accessory building out there. | 01:55:25 | |
If it doesn't meet the standards we've discussed previously, it can't be if there's no exceptions. | 01:55:29 | |
They don't have an entitled right to convert that to grandfather. | 01:55:34 | |
So, but if you're requiring that they need to set back requirements, then what was the planning commissions concern? | 01:55:40 | |
So there was. | 01:55:49 | |
Because you said you've got to meet holidays so existing, I see what you're seeing. Structures might not meet the setbacks. | 01:55:52 | |
So the standards that are proposed in the. | 01:56:01 | |
Code or if it doesn't meet the setback standards that you have to provide mitigation. | 01:56:05 | |
With landscaping. | 01:56:11 | |
Or other? | 01:56:14 | |
So how about the Windows? | 01:56:15 | |
Adding now adding. | 01:56:18 | |
And that would be another problem issue. | 01:56:21 | |
I wonder if we do. | 01:56:33 | |
Maybe put a pin in this one? | 01:56:34 | |
Hurt now because it does feel like it could be more complicated and move ahead with the other ones. | 01:56:38 | |
I don't know or. | 01:56:44 | |
Some of them like that are. | 01:56:48 | |
Really straightforward, easy. But then you get into your. | 01:56:49 | |
Bigger ones are. | 01:56:54 | |
Setbacks. | 01:56:57 | |
So which ones do you cover? Spouse? | 01:57:00 | |
Which ones do you feel like are straightforward? | 01:57:02 | |
Once we're on there and just the clean up language, those are. | 01:57:07 | |
That makes sense. Yeah, that makes sense. I'd be OK with that. | 01:57:11 | |
The conversion is a little bit. | 01:57:17 | |
For here. | 01:57:20 | |
That might I just having a larger discussion about here standards are here. Are there some sort of standards that were not? | 01:57:22 | |
They were talking about what exceptions would be willing to make to rights. | 01:57:31 | |
Building it next. | 01:57:36 | |
EADU, right. Relative to converting, I think I'm OK with the Planning Commission. | 01:57:38 | |
Make exceptions for existing structure you got to meet. | 01:57:45 | |
Standard for dwelling unit regardless of what's already there. | 01:57:48 | |
Are there examples where you're thinking that this one should? | 01:57:55 | |
We do have applications like that. | 01:57:59 | |
Where somebody has a shed that they want to convert. | 01:58:04 | |
Their conversion is going to be small building code standards, but. | 01:58:08 | |
Looking at a dwelling unit impact that might have smaller setbacks than what the standards for a new accessory. | 01:58:13 | |
Right. | 01:58:20 | |
Using a sarcastic example, this would be existing, but would be converted even though it's already set up as living space. | 01:58:21 | |
Some people may have like a school house or. | 01:58:28 | |
Studio office that they've already built, but it's not. | 01:58:32 | |
They can't use. | 01:58:36 | |
Living space or a rental units? | 01:58:38 | |
Why would we want to approve that if it doesn't need? | 01:58:42 | |
The standards that we're putting in place right here. | 01:58:46 | |
And that's, that's what what we looked at, OK. | 01:58:49 | |
Converting versus. | 01:58:53 | |
Maybe we just previously the standards on what are existing. | 01:58:55 | |
Is and that. | 01:59:00 | |
Addresses the problem in it. | 01:59:03 | |
Different way. | 01:59:04 | |
You know what? I worry about someone. | 01:59:05 | |
With a plan who? | 01:59:10 | |
Wants to have a plan for an E Adu. | 01:59:13 | |
But that doesn't need standards, so they build the building. It's just an accessory building that's not a dwelling unit. Only then | 01:59:16 | |
use the exceptions and do it in phases. So. | 01:59:23 | |
I know that there's at least one permit where. | 01:59:30 | |
They wanted to do an accessory dwelling unit, but. | 01:59:34 | |
Their foundation was born much closer than that extra 25% that's required. | 01:59:39 | |
So that would disqualify them so it has a better kitchen. | 01:59:44 | |
All the space that you have for like a rental unit, so. | 01:59:49 | |
Likely use it for some sort of temporary living space, but. | 01:59:52 | |
It doesn't mean the standards by. | 01:59:58 | |
So they're conversion incorrect, yeah? | 02:00:04 | |
Conversion is. | 02:00:07 | |
I think it is. You can convert it. | 02:00:09 | |
I think we need to address it. I'm just wondering if maybe not right now. | 02:00:16 | |
Yeah, especially if all of your concerns are set back. | 02:00:22 | |
Highly massing related. | 02:00:26 | |
To use the existing building then. | 02:00:28 | |
So get get it done. | 02:00:34 | |
Comfortable with right now. | 02:00:36 | |
Get codified and then if we want to revisit this piece of it later and do that, it's unfortunate that that's the most | 02:00:38 | |
approachable, most affordable way to create. | 02:00:43 | |
Right, I know that it bypasses all the concerns we're trying to put in code right now. | 02:00:51 | |
And allows a path for future, bypassing it by calling just an accessory unless then converting it to. Unless it works not. | 02:00:57 | |
Allow it for structures to. | 02:01:07 | |
You know, as an accessory that we'll go. | 02:01:09 | |
You know to catch the grandfather case, anything that would build after that implementation. | 02:01:11 | |
Where it's, you know, then you don't have. | 02:01:16 | |
People trying to workout. | 02:01:19 | |
Questions. Do we? | 02:01:22 | |
We want how much Grandfather would be doing. | 02:01:24 | |
I mean, that's the point, yeah. | 02:01:28 | |
Well, or do we allow it? | 02:01:30 | |
Can meet all of the setbacks if they have, so if they have a. | 02:01:34 | |
Situation where they meet all the other requirements, we can go ahead with that and then they have all these other exceptions, so | 02:01:38 | |
we don't allow for those for now. | 02:01:42 | |
Could be an incremental approach. You already need the standards, then let's go ahead with that. But if you don't meet the | 02:01:47 | |
standards, let's just. | 02:01:51 | |
I don't know which I think that. | 02:01:56 | |
Issue is converting buildings that don't. | 02:02:00 | |
Standard that we don't have to look at and convert it, they said. To meet the safety requirements, the pipe requirement. | 02:02:04 | |
Something in place that violates setbacks who graduated high? | 02:02:15 | |
Then they want to convert it. I don't think we want to allow that, do we? | 02:02:20 | |
So increasing with the implementation of when the current or. | 02:02:23 | |
Have you ever seen that like when the existing code percent of X because you'll have Salt Lake County code which is. | 02:02:29 | |
Some of those are one foot step back or less up until the 60s, so whatever. | 02:02:35 | |
Our existing setbacks. | 02:02:41 | |
Went into place. | 02:02:43 | |
That could be a comparable place of. | 02:02:44 | |
OK, this is the known set back. | 02:02:47 | |
Can you say if you qualify under all current setbacks? | 02:02:51 | |
Go ahead. | 02:02:58 | |
They just might not need the extra 25%. | 02:03:03 | |
For. | 02:03:08 | |
That would be one that's like. | 02:03:11 | |
OK. Is that something that's? | 02:03:13 | |
That's usually like a difference of one to two feet. | 02:03:16 | |
If it already needs that additional 25%. | 02:03:19 | |
But that could be like one bigger cat if. | 02:03:25 | |
If you're going to conversion. | 02:03:28 | |
And it just needs the standard accessory building. | 02:03:30 | |
You're going to mitigate that? | 02:03:37 | |
Encroachment of one to two feet. | 02:03:39 | |
By. | 02:03:43 | |
Different conditionally use world though, right? | 02:03:52 | |
Not if you put specific standards in. | 02:03:56 | |
So do we have enough to? | 02:04:00 | |
Update what we have to bring it to a vote. | 02:04:04 | |
I mean, I think what we need to do is probably make the update based on the input you've received. | 02:04:10 | |
It great back to work session going through it again. | 02:04:15 | |
A little bit on a few things and then we can, because we can kind of come back and maybe think about some of this a little bit to | 02:04:20 | |
talk about again on the 25th. | 02:04:25 | |
Look at what updates you make based on the input you've received on all these individual items. | 02:04:30 | |
And then decide if we want to. | 02:04:35 | |
If it's ready to go to vote or not. But again, I don't think there's a big hurry to get this, I vote, so I think we should make | 02:04:38 | |
sure we're really comfortable with this because. | 02:04:41 | |
It goes into place. I think it's to generate a lot. | 02:04:46 | |
And I think staff needs to think about it too, like. | 02:04:49 | |
What problems might this create for us? Do we need to make any tweaks before we? | 02:04:53 | |
Put it out for a vote. Is it after everything we've talked about today, if you guys have any concerns that you think of later | 02:04:58 | |
where you're like? | 02:05:02 | |
That you might want to consider these things I would be interested in knowing. | 02:05:07 | |
What those are with what we've recommended, OK, yeah, I mean, as long as they're not really substantial. | 02:05:10 | |
Go against the original application. I think we can do that. | 02:05:17 | |
Things we have to go back to applying on that last one, I would suggest. | 02:05:20 | |
Doing a secular traffic the way that you were thinking to accommodate those were built before that happens one to two foot kind of | 02:05:25 | |
a thing. | 02:05:28 | |
Bringing up like that, we could. | 02:05:31 | |
How many times we should be able to burn through everything relatively quickly? I think we have time to discuss that one. I agree | 02:05:33 | |
more, but but do it give give us what you think about, I guess that's what I would say. | 02:05:38 | |
Yeah, I think we can get. | 02:05:44 | |
I think we got a lot of clarification on issues that we had between staff and Planning Commission here. | 02:05:45 | |
Finalized, right. So we can. | 02:05:51 | |
Red lined into the code. | 02:05:54 | |
And review it again on the 25th and then. | 02:05:56 | |
See if there's any tweak we want to make and then work towards getting into a vote, whatever that is. | 02:05:59 | |
It's the 2nd grade if it's the. | 02:06:04 | |
June or 16th, right. I mean, I don't think there's any Russian we want to be right. Just one question. Overall, the premises | 02:06:07 | |
conditional use permits. | 02:06:11 | |
For situations are you? | 02:06:16 | |
Now or let's. | 02:06:18 | |
I want to follow Todd's advice regarding We'd rather get exceptions. | 02:06:20 | |
Into the language rather than the option of a conditional, use. | 02:06:27 | |
As a preference. | 02:06:32 | |
And I recognize we don't want to create law around anyone person but. | 02:06:34 | |
Would we meet Mr. Kemp's? | 02:06:37 | |
With what we've talked about today would. | 02:06:40 | |
He'd be able to. | 02:06:42 | |
Yeah, I'm going to take the overall purpose is. | 02:06:44 | |
That perspective of. | 02:06:47 | |
Opportunity for adding an external Edu. | 02:06:50 | |
That is contextual based on a property, so it's. | 02:06:53 | |
If you have a single family home. | 02:06:58 | |
How can you build an external EU? | 02:07:01 | |
Even if your property is smaller compared to somebody that was larger. | 02:07:05 | |
You just practice proportionately and I think that's. | 02:07:09 | |
Looking at it from. | 02:07:14 | |
Perfect. Great kind of perspective giving that opportunity to any president. | 02:07:15 | |
Once you pursue it and make it work, so having standards in a way. Thank you. | 02:07:20 | |
For the work on this. | 02:07:34 | |
Hey Tina, you are you turned into a pumpkin? | 02:07:39 | |
Yeah, this is a little past my bedtime, but I just wanted to share. | 02:07:47 | |
Where budget preparation is at this point. | 02:07:52 | |
And address a question that bothering him had asked that our retreat, which was. | 02:07:57 | |
Let's think about that kind of study. | 02:08:04 | |
Idea And how does that relate to this year's budget? | 02:08:10 | |
So I'm looking for some feedback on some specific questions from you. | 02:08:14 | |
And just want to share again, this is a chart we looked at in our retreat. | 02:08:19 | |
About the slowdown of sales tax growth. | 02:08:25 | |
So we've had tremendous growth over the last. | 02:08:30 | |
Well, since the middle of fiscal 20. | 02:08:34 | |
And that has slowed down with another month of data. | 02:08:39 | |
Representing January. | 02:08:43 | |
We've seen that slowdown continue. So we were within 10,000 dollars of our budget projection. | 02:08:46 | |
And at this point, we're still showing trending a little under our budget. | 02:08:53 | |
So based on the direction you gave me at the retreat and whole thing sales tax. | 02:08:57 | |
Study for next year's budgets. | 02:09:02 | |
The next slide just shows you where the CPI has been. | 02:09:06 | |
Since the last time you increased taxes in June of 21. | 02:09:13 | |
So looking at year over year? | 02:09:21 | |
June 21 to May 22, that was 8.3%. | 02:09:25 | |
CPI Growth. | 02:09:32 | |
4.1% from June of 22 to May of 23 and then so far June 23 through March. | 02:09:34 | |
Of 24, we're at about 2.9%. If we continue for the April, May and June, we'll probably end up about 4% growth. | 02:09:43 | |
Pretty sounding 3 year 15% increase in inflation. A little shocked just looking at month by month calculations. So Bureau of Labor | 02:09:54 | |
Statistics has another tool that lets you compare. | 02:10:02 | |
What would? | 02:10:11 | |
$1000. | 02:10:13 | |
Bought you in a particular month. | 02:10:15 | |
Compared to current day and that. | 02:10:18 | |
Just a little bit more, So 1000, sorry. OK, $1000 in June of 21 you need. | 02:10:23 | |
$11149 to have the same impact, which is 15%. | 02:10:34 | |
So that's where we are over three years in terms of inflation. So hang on to all of that data for a moment as I show you where we | 02:10:41 | |
are. | 02:10:46 | |
In terms of preliminary revenue, so I started with the approved budget. | 02:10:54 | |
For this year of just. | 02:10:59 | |
Slightly under $21 million. | 02:11:02 | |
Please note this is not comprehensive but just giving you an idea of where we are right now. | 02:11:06 | |
You see the sales tax increase and transportation sales tax increase. We are seeing a slight increase in transient room taxes. | 02:11:14 | |
We've added another hotel and we're having some balance back in. | 02:11:21 | |
Our existing hotels, I think that will be about $50,000. | 02:11:28 | |
Our Class C distribution, which went down slightly, seems to be rebounding, so I think we can. | 02:11:32 | |
And that's gas tax money. I think we can increase that by about $200,000. | 02:11:40 | |
That I'm looking at about $200,000 in interest income and it's just. | 02:11:46 | |
Given that's a. | 02:11:52 | |
Flip side of the interchange. | 02:11:54 | |
I'm glad you borrowed what we did. And so it's nice to just recognize this. So 100,000 in interest income and then we have, at | 02:11:58 | |
least at this point, segregated our Class C. | 02:12:04 | |
Revenue in a different PKF account and so I think it will be about 175 listing. | 02:12:14 | |
We're seeing additional. | 02:12:23 | |
Pardon me? | 02:12:25 | |
So we get that's a great question on our bond, I think we were under. | 02:12:28 | |
Toll. | 02:12:34 | |
We're seeing additional facilities rental. | 02:12:39 | |
City Hall rentals, I think we can add 10,000 there. More people are switching to Google Fiber and we get 2% of that revenue per | 02:12:44 | |
agreement. | 02:12:48 | |
We had budgeted previously about 20,000 and it's coming in closer to 60, so that next year. | 02:12:54 | |
She returned to traffic school, small increase there and then I'm recognizing that public health grant on the operational side | 02:13:01 | |
that you approved earlier this evening. | 02:13:06 | |
So overall, I think that's about $600,000 in general fund revenue increases. | 02:13:12 | |
You want to go to the next slide. | 02:13:21 | |
OK, South side. | 02:13:24 | |
That's it. | 02:13:32 | |
That's right. That's right. | 02:13:38 | |
So sharing some changes that we're anticipating at this point. | 02:13:41 | |
Paul mentioned the increase of 6.7%. | 02:13:48 | |
Increase of 6 .7% in UFA. | 02:13:53 | |
We don't have a firm number yet, but just 6.7% based on our calculations. | 02:14:02 | |
Just under 200,000. | 02:14:08 | |
You'll remember we made a change earlier this year and how we're providing Emergency Management. | 02:14:11 | |
So this reflects the termination of that contract and the additional part time that he's about to actually saving, so that $8000. | 02:14:17 | |
A big number? | 02:14:27 | |
Next is what we're projecting for ADP increase. | 02:14:29 | |
And that is, again, not firm. | 02:14:36 | |
But a calculation A calculated increase in just under $800,000. | 02:14:40 | |
Is that based on 9/9 percent, based on the 10%, But I backed out our use of because if you just look at our budget number, that | 02:14:46 | |
reflects A reduction based on our use of fund balance last year. So this is. | 02:14:54 | |
This is total. | 02:15:02 | |
The cost of our contract would have been before that unbalance. | 02:15:06 | |
Usage and then the cost of our new contract. | 02:15:11 | |
I mean can we apply fund balance to that number? So yes, but you know one of the concerns we have. | 02:15:15 | |
Because we don't know how. | 02:15:29 | |
Our actual employees may end up shifting. | 02:15:32 | |
We need to have reserves. | 02:15:36 | |
If if we need to. | 02:15:39 | |
Make adjustments for for people departing and so that really comes in. | 02:15:42 | |
I wish we were in a different position to know what that use might be, but we're not. And so I'm trying to be conservative, I | 02:15:48 | |
think. | 02:15:52 | |
And I'm hoping the next. | 02:15:57 | |
I agree. That's the hard part, the compensated absences that we have to keep in reserve, so if somebody leaves, we pay on their | 02:16:03 | |
vacation. | 02:16:07 | |
You know, and then 25% are sick. | 02:16:12 | |
So if somebody does leave, even if somebody left and went to the county, let's say the county is just announced that they will | 02:16:14 | |
honor their Sydney balances based on the 25% whatever they have 80 over so. | 02:16:21 | |
I'm not. | 02:16:30 | |
I don't know I need. | 02:16:32 | |
It's really hard to say. | 02:16:33 | |
I think a lot of the people here at holiday are staying and I don't know that I would. | 02:16:35 | |
Anticipate many. | 02:16:40 | |
But we just don't know. That's a hard part, I mean. | 02:16:44 | |
I could have had people go with it. | 02:16:47 | |
You know and and. | 02:16:49 | |
It could really bring the contact. | 02:16:52 | |
How many new seats, you know, new positions that the county had to hire for what this changed? | 02:16:55 | |
Right now they're saying 87. | 02:17:02 | |
874874 | 02:17:06 | |
Yeah, they're not going to get there. That's a Yeah, that's a whole other. | 02:17:10 | |
We need about. | 02:17:15 | |
Half of those to go over. | 02:17:16 | |
To keep full staffing in place in EPD. | 02:17:20 | |
Which case question whether that thing could happen? I think there are bigger issues going to be. | 02:17:23 | |
Being stuck with 10 or 15 Fdes that we can't find spots for. | 02:17:31 | |
Forcing the, I mean basically, you know, starting to talk to them about you need to go to the Sheriff's Office, you know? | 02:17:38 | |
Right. | 02:17:44 | |
But yes, I don't. But we see that. Yeah, we don't know. But I think what you're saying is you'd rather. | 02:17:48 | |
You'd rather keep that power dry. | 02:17:54 | |
Until that issue clarifies. | 02:17:56 | |
And hopefully, hopefully we'll have some more clarification in the next few weeks and I can reduce that number from 76 to. | 02:17:59 | |
686, yeah. Yeah. | 02:18:10 | |
But in terms of the overall budget picture, it's not huge. What was that bottom line number? | 02:18:14 | |
So the bottom line of what our delta is. | 02:18:21 | |
Is that what you mean, 48? Yeah. So that's what I'm showing at this point because the difference. | 02:18:25 | |
Just a couple of changes I want to highlight for you. | 02:18:33 | |
In terms of our overall retirement? | 02:18:37 | |
System changes for most employees. | 02:18:43 | |
We're seeing a reduction in the retirement payments we make on our employees. | 02:18:47 | |
As a city, about $21. | 02:18:53 | |
It's because the system it has grown and is healthier than it was a year ago and so are actually already has been reduced. | 02:18:56 | |
In all of our systems. | 02:19:07 | |
The only caveat to that is that this is just a bit of history about our retirement systems, but employees that were invested | 02:19:10 | |
before July 1 of 20. | 02:19:16 | |
11 or part of the system called Sherwin and that is just straight pension, 2% per year. | 02:19:23 | |
Kind of based on a. | 02:19:31 | |
Employees hired after that they have a choice. They can either choose a. | 02:19:33 | |
401K option. | 02:19:38 | |
Or they can choose what is called a hybrid system that is a little bit tension, a little bit 401K. | 02:19:41 | |
And for those employees that are in the hybrid system? | 02:19:48 | |
Our portion is going to decrease, but. | 02:19:54 | |
You know those employees are going to be required to contribute. | 02:19:57 | |
To their own pension system. | 02:20:02 | |
This is the although the. | 02:20:07 | |
Rules have been in place since 2011. This is the first time they're going to work harder to contribute. That affects 10 of our | 02:20:09 | |
employees. | 02:20:13 | |
And so whatever increase we provide to them. | 02:20:20 | |
At this point. | 02:20:25 | |
They'll need to go and upper Senate. | 02:20:26 | |
Did any of those 10 fall within that one year window? Yeah, four of them. So we're talking to folks individually. I've sent out | 02:20:32 | |
information to employees and haven't gotten a lot of questions about it. | 02:20:40 | |
It's pretty small increase but I just wanted to highlight it for you because. | 02:20:49 | |
Legislative bodies across the state are trying to grapple with this because it creates this. | 02:20:55 | |
Inequity. There's a lot of inequity in ret. | 02:21:00 | |
Depending on when you were hired. | 02:21:05 | |
But. | 02:21:08 | |
There are a couple of solutions that folks have looked at. | 02:21:11 | |
One is you give. | 02:21:14 | |
An additional 1% just to those Tier 2 hybrid employees? | 02:21:16 | |
Which I think then would create a whole other problem with your compensation system. | 02:21:23 | |
The other option people have looked at is something we already do, which is provide a match for everyone up to 5% in your 401K. So | 02:21:28 | |
if people are contributing to their 401K will match it. | 02:21:34 | |
And that's something we already do. | 02:21:42 | |
So from my perspective I wouldn't recommend any changes, but you may be hearing about this issue from colleagues and just wanted | 02:21:44 | |
to. | 02:21:48 | |
Next policy that I'd love some guidance on is. | 02:21:56 | |
A cost of living adjustment? What's an appropriate level? | 02:22:02 | |
What I've included right now is a 4% cost of living adjustment. | 02:22:05 | |
And looking at other cities. | 02:22:12 | |
You know, that looks like the range people are looking at, somewhere between 3 and 6%. | 02:22:15 | |
Combined. | 02:22:22 | |
Merits in many cases are automatic. Yeah, so like. | 02:22:30 | |
Cottonwood Heights, Midvale Wolf Have Merits. | 02:22:39 | |
Have a 2% merit, so every year you stay work at 2% and then they have colas. | 02:22:42 | |
And when I asked them who doesn't get married? | 02:22:48 | |
They basically say. | 02:22:51 | |
Everybody gets married. | 02:22:54 | |
So merit and cola are the same. So they say, well, we're only doing it. | 02:22:55 | |
3% cola. | 02:23:00 | |
2% merit, right. So you're getting 5%. | 02:23:02 | |
And so I consider them to be saying we don't do merit in all of it. | 02:23:06 | |
So I think 4% is going to be kind of the. | 02:23:12 | |
Landing spot most of we're going to be on some 85% with merits and. | 02:23:17 | |
Just kind of imagine inflation exactly. It seems really consistent. | 02:23:23 | |
Do we do zero merit period across the board like if there's if there's certain but we didn't market adjustment periodic but not | 02:23:28 | |
merit which is the automatic year, an extra year that's one more year of experience to get tax? | 02:23:35 | |
So we have in terms of market adjustments, I've just included a placeholder. | 02:23:43 | |
Of 30,000 as we looked at our employees. Broad strokes. | 02:23:50 | |
Across the board, for the most part. | 02:23:55 | |
We have we're right on money for most of the missions. | 02:23:58 | |
We have a couple of exceptions that we'll talk about next. | 02:24:03 | |
Next week, but that is just a placeholder number in that subject to. | 02:24:08 | |
I think we've done a better job of staying on top of that and trying to. We made some pretty big adjustments the last few years of | 02:24:16 | |
people that we thought were out of. | 02:24:20 | |
Out of range and so now it's just more of. | 02:24:25 | |
Maintaining that. | 02:24:29 | |
And then see what happens in the market with certain positions. It's a tough market. | 02:24:30 | |
We've done a pretty good job with that. | 02:24:36 | |
Health insurance changes that. That increases just under 5%. | 02:24:40 | |
So our share of that increase is 21. | 02:24:46 | |
On the other side I'm showing based on the work of both. | 02:24:52 | |
Justice and Joe in advancing her GIS. | 02:25:00 | |
I'm pausing that position that you had funded for GIS and this last year and shouldn't action there and then kind of on the flip | 02:25:05 | |
side assuming that we're. | 02:25:10 | |
We're likely to move forward with the spring lighting, I am assuming. | 02:25:17 | |
Seven months. | 02:25:22 | |
Of an additional parks and facility. | 02:25:23 | |
Likely to be hired for. | 02:25:26 | |
Staff, We're staff there. | 02:25:30 | |
At this point, I really think we are something John and I have talked about is that if, if. | 02:25:39 | |
That. | 02:25:46 | |
That would change. That might be a market adjustment. | 02:25:50 | |
But at this point, I think we're comfortable holding off. | 02:25:59 | |
So overall. | 02:26:05 | |
Again, brought strokes. I don't have anything programmed. And yet for I guess we were to leave the still thing we needed to rent | 02:26:08 | |
space. There are other things, other changes. | 02:26:13 | |
An additional, and it just occurred to me, is. | 02:26:20 | |
I think. | 02:26:25 | |
At an additional 5 ish $1000 for post transfer to the Arts Council for some content series that's just based on information. Love | 02:26:28 | |
to give a sense of whether the council is supported with that and that would increase as well. | 02:26:36 | |
But. | 02:26:45 | |
That's kind of where we are on the expense side and that creates a gap revenue to expenses of about 150. | 02:26:47 | |
So you kind of over like detailed, but if you're looking big picture 10,000 feet if somebody'd. | 02:26:56 | |
If I need to explain in under a minute to somebody. | 02:27:03 | |
Why we're talking about? | 02:27:06 | |
Whatever I mean, to summarize it, it seems to me that inflation. | 02:27:10 | |
And the restructuring of up? | 02:27:16 | |
If I give those answers, that feels like things that people can get their hands around, but I want to make sure that that's I | 02:27:19 | |
think that's right. And that is exactly how I phrase the next part of the conversation. | 02:27:25 | |
Which is what we do about this cap so. | 02:27:32 | |
There are some choices that you could look at. | 02:27:37 | |
If you didn't want to look at an increase to international inflation, you could look at a decrease in our transfer, our ongoing | 02:27:41 | |
transfer capital projects fund. | 02:27:47 | |
Last year we transferred, in the current year we transferred about $1.2 million. You could look at reducing that. We have a | 02:27:53 | |
healthy fund balance and capital projects. | 02:27:58 | |
We have a number of projects lined up, but you could pause that transfer or reduce that transfer. | 02:28:03 | |
You could use general fund fund balance. I wouldn't recommend that, but that is an option that's available to you. | 02:28:11 | |
We could look at some expense side reductions. | 02:28:18 | |
I'm not going to get very far with that, but, you know, maybe we could, we could postpone. | 02:28:21 | |
Some studies there are. | 02:28:27 | |
For a few pockets we could look at, I don't think we'd get much beyond. | 02:28:30 | |
$150,000 that's kind of the range I think we could look at without. | 02:28:36 | |
Looking at staff, but that option is better available to you. | 02:28:41 | |
Or we could look at a. | 02:28:46 | |
A heart attack increase. | 02:28:50 | |
So we talked about the inflation rate being about 15%. | 02:28:53 | |
That's accumulated over three years. It is. | 02:29:01 | |
So you could look at it strictly from an inflation standpoint. | 02:29:04 | |
You could look at it from a public safety standpoint, so if you were. | 02:29:09 | |
Some cities, and I think Mill Creek is an example of a city that does this, that ties their property tax. | 02:29:23 | |
To their UK contribution. | 02:29:30 | |
So you could look at it strictly from that percentage that would be about a 10%. | 02:29:32 | |
So basically their property tax is. | 02:29:42 | |
Is tied directly to you. | 02:29:46 | |
So as that. | 02:29:49 | |
Dollar per dollar or percentage per percentage. | 02:29:51 | |
I don't know the answer to it. I think it's dollar for dollar. I think it's whatever the dollar because if you look at our | 02:29:55 | |
property tax right now, it would about. | 02:29:59 | |
Align with DPD card, so that's their justification. So. | 02:30:04 | |
They'll go out every year for truth in taxation and. | 02:30:10 | |
And increase their property tax by that percent, 6% or 8% or 10%. | 02:30:14 | |
But in this case, over a three-year period, they would probably have raised their property taxes. | 02:30:19 | |
25% fifteen. | 02:30:24 | |
Details going to have to offer 40% tax increase. | 02:30:27 | |
Government that the. | 02:30:31 | |
Philosophy. | 02:30:32 | |
But 48 percent, 40%, yeah, because ours is 50% after 20 years. | 02:30:36 | |
Yeah. We've only had one and it was 50 that was the 50%. The other. The other piece to this is. | 02:30:42 | |
When we went through the whole process. | 02:30:50 | |
Tax increase with our residents. | 02:30:53 | |
The consultants basically said. | 02:30:56 | |
Look, we think the proper way to do that and the tech and who's the watchdogs, Taxpayers Association actually worked our tax | 02:31:02 | |
increase, believe it or not. | 02:31:08 | |
But they said really the way we'd like you to do this is not the way you're doing that. It's every three or four or five years | 02:31:14 | |
still out because property tax is a revenue based system, so. | 02:31:19 | |
It stays flat until you go through a truth in taxation. | 02:31:25 | |
So they would rather have you do something like this, which we haven't done. | 02:31:29 | |
Since we raised taxes because. | 02:31:33 | |
We had such, we had such growth in our sales tax that we just didn't feel justified in going out and asking. | 02:31:36 | |
For more property types of that use so that's part of it. So, but I think Gene is right. | 02:31:43 | |
We could bite the bullet this year and say hey. | 02:31:48 | |
Understand inflation's been high. It's tough, but we've got. | 02:31:51 | |
Issues we're trying to address. | 02:31:56 | |
And funding ongoing expenses using general fund dollars, even though we have a healthy fund balance rather. | 02:31:58 | |
Is not really the way you should operate. You should. | 02:32:07 | |
Under ongoing with ongoing revenues. | 02:32:13 | |
We also have a look at our capital improvement budget. I mean, we could reduce our capital. | 02:32:16 | |
Look at our capital improvements and say we're just not going to be able to do as much. | 02:32:21 | |
Which is actually what got us into this problem in the 1st place, because. | 02:32:25 | |
We ended up robbing that account to balance our budget for 20 years. So deferred maintenance essentially, right? Yeah. The other | 02:32:29 | |
issue too is political and how people feel about the next year is going to be an election year. | 02:32:34 | |
And then you have to go out for property tax and somebody uses that as ammunition, which I don't think is really proper, but. | 02:32:41 | |
Yeah, so anyway, So what does? | 02:32:49 | |
In terms of a sensitivity analysis, what? | 02:32:53 | |
What is a 5% increase block? | 02:32:56 | |
Generate. That's a great question. So I look I so 7 1/2% generates about 5:50. So a 700. I'm sorry, a 7.5% increase in copy taxes | 02:33:00 | |
across citywide only generates. | 02:33:08 | |
$508,000 property tax is not that big. What does that translate into? Like a different property value? | 02:33:16 | |
Like so if you have a. | 02:33:26 | |
You know $500,000 house for two point $500 house and I haven't looked at it like that. I certainly can. We did during the the last | 02:33:28 | |
cycle we looked at the impact half. | 02:33:34 | |
As much as you think. | 02:33:41 | |
I feel like. | 02:33:44 | |
The time to do it. | 02:33:46 | |
Single digits as a percentage, Yeah, I agree with that. More often than less frequent being up in the 15 and 20. | 02:33:49 | |
Frequently and if you guys, most people know about the UPD transition and that's going on and I feel like. | 02:33:58 | |
People people want to fund their police to me like. | 02:34:06 | |
That's an easy sell. And the people who are most upset about taxes are also tend to be people who are most willing to pay their | 02:34:09 | |
police officers, like when you look from a political perspective. So I feel like. | 02:34:14 | |
There's a lot of. | 02:34:19 | |
And I'd rather do this. We should be doing this every three or four years, not. | 02:34:21 | |
Kicking the can down the road then. | 02:34:27 | |
Pushing it onto a future council that go out for a 30 or 40% taxi property tax is is there. | 02:34:29 | |
And it's obviously the plates get into this type, but is there a way that we can? | 02:34:37 | |
Create some kind of unified message to the public about this so that we can. | 02:34:42 | |
And I don't know if you. | 02:34:48 | |
Preempting that just makes the problem bigger because if people find out like you know, set or is there a way to kind of. | 02:34:50 | |
Presents what this is that we're trying to play at care police officers or we're trying to do a correction because everybody. | 02:34:57 | |
That'll be the whole truth of taxation process will go through all of that and it will say. | 02:35:04 | |
You know, on a. | 02:35:10 | |
This. This is how much it's going to cost. | 02:35:11 | |
If your property taxes say. | 02:35:15 | |
I'm just going to do it back in there. So if your property taxes say $8000 a year, right? | 02:35:18 | |
I think your holiday course is probably. | 02:35:26 | |
18%. | 02:35:28 | |
16%. | 02:35:33 | |
That's generous. And that's because all the other taxing authorities are increasing a higher rate than we are. | 02:35:35 | |
So I love, I'd love to see the ranking of where we sit compared to other cities. So we're pretty low actually. So that's the share | 02:35:42 | |
and 10% of that which would be like the increase 50 to 10% there. | 02:35:49 | |
It would be $192.00 say here whatever $8000 is. So that would be a. | 02:35:57 | |
You know what? | 02:36:04 | |
Level house. That would be probably 800,000 or something. Well, that wouldn't be. | 02:36:05 | |
What was the most? | 02:36:30 | |
This will be the lowest inflation people have dealt with. I mean pretty grocery budget. | 02:36:33 | |
It'd be about other $750,000 house. My best guess would be about $110. | 02:36:38 | |
Because our property tax is only about, say, 16% of your property tax bill. | 02:36:46 | |
So if we raise our property tax 15%, it's not. | 02:36:54 | |
You know that the whole bill is just our. It's still people with inflation stuff. I think they need to be sensitive. Yeah, no, | 02:36:57 | |
it's true. It's true. And the fixed incomes and that's where I think. | 02:37:03 | |
Every three years or so. | 02:37:10 | |
I think it's a little bit negligent of us to not do it more. | 02:37:12 | |
You know more frequently because then you're. | 02:37:16 | |
People can adjust, yeah. It's just painful because. | 02:37:18 | |
You'll get you'll hear it. But I get this other reason I'd rather do it this year. | 02:37:22 | |
That I don't think we should wait till next year and then if you don't do it next year. | 02:37:29 | |
Then you're going to be asking for a 20% increase, 25% increase two years from now, which is really not fair to that council. | 02:37:33 | |
Yeah. | 02:37:41 | |
But I would say. | 02:37:44 | |
You know it may be. | 02:37:48 | |
15% is the number, but maybe you want to look at a little bit say look how much do we really want, do we think we're just by the | 02:37:49 | |
generating here and. | 02:37:53 | |
So 15% is the number if you want to do our justification based on inflation. | 02:37:58 | |
10%, which would really basically close that gap and just look at public safety and I heard you say. | 02:38:05 | |
Single digit maybe better or smaller is better than large. More frequent, smaller more frequent is better than larger. | 02:38:12 | |
So we're talking, I mean we're talking about what you said $110 a year. So we're at like. | 02:38:20 | |
Maybe $10 a month with this. Like, I feel like that's. | 02:38:28 | |
There are so, so few people actually do that calculation. | 02:38:32 | |
They look at the percent and they look at the total, their tax bill. | 02:38:36 | |
Is there a way we can? | 02:38:42 | |
We'll do it taxation, but it's a hard concept to explain to people when you say. | 02:38:47 | |
Well, your property taxes. | 02:38:55 | |
If we have gone up, well, yes they have. It's like, well, it wasn't us. It was great school district, yeah. | 02:38:56 | |
In in relationship to your neighbors, influences have more particular. | 02:39:07 | |
Value changes. Oh, they're really tough. It's complicated. | 02:39:13 | |
But it's conceptually it's. | 02:39:19 | |
Is a fact I mean. | 02:39:21 | |
If you look at our property tax in the city. | 02:39:23 | |
So. | 02:39:31 | |
I think if you're going to do it because you're not just doing it to cover, you're not just doing it to cover this year's delta. | 02:39:33 | |
If you're going to do it, you're also trying to lookout for a couple of years and say let's get enough to get us through another | 02:39:40 | |
three years. | 02:39:43 | |
Then maybe in three years we have to go out for another 10% increase from. | 02:39:47 | |
Because you're gonna get, you're gonna get. | 02:39:51 | |
You're going to get punished, whether it's 10% or 15, yeah. And if you're going to go through a lot of work to go through | 02:39:55 | |
taxation, you get it done. | 02:39:59 | |
You might as well. | 02:40:05 | |
Get justified 15%. I think we don't anticipate coming back to you for another, yeah, the March 349 and 15 is going to be. | 02:40:07 | |
And because inflation is going down, like it's not increasing as rapidly, I feel like it's a more salient. | 02:40:16 | |
Point people will understand that we are subject to those same pressures now more than they will in a year's time. Yeah, if we can | 02:40:23 | |
get it down to. | 02:40:27 | |
Your house is valued at $800,000. This means an increase of. | 02:40:32 | |
X dollars. | 02:40:36 | |
The hard thing about the inflation is they're being placed on their side. Yeah, it's absolutely true. That's why I like, yeah, so | 02:40:39 | |
public safety is the and I think our message, you can include both of these elements and we can, you know, I mean it's the state | 02:40:46 | |
legislature's fault when it comes to the public safety issue. | 02:40:54 | |
Definitely let them know. | 02:41:02 | |
Problems. | 02:41:08 | |
So we will start it, you will, when you adopt the budget. | 02:41:14 | |
Signal your attention for an increase. | 02:41:20 | |
The county will schedule that hearing in August. | 02:41:24 | |
And then you'll you'll have a final vote in August. | 02:41:29 | |
Yes, all this will. | 02:41:34 | |
Is indicate direction from the Council and. | 02:41:36 | |
And Gina, of our attention how we're going to build a budget. | 02:41:40 | |
And then we'll go through a public process. And that doesn't mean we're stuck with this number, I mean. | 02:41:45 | |
Once we get public input, we may change our mind. | 02:41:50 | |
So we have a couple of other small. | 02:41:55 | |
Issues we talked about Church, you. This is such a tiny little thing, but I just wanted to make you aware. So right now for our | 02:42:04 | |
4th of July breakfast. | 02:42:09 | |
We charge our residents $5 and I think we have. | 02:42:15 | |
Forever. | 02:42:18 | |
We're paying 1450 ahead for breakfast. | 02:42:20 | |
So I just wanted to raise that issue with you. So you want us to charge a 15% for property? | 02:42:25 | |
And. | 02:42:35 | |
That is not going to affect the equation that we just at all. | 02:42:38 | |
But I just wanted to make you aware and if you wanted to look at that, even raising a couple of dollars, we still could. | 02:42:44 | |
Since we've moved to credit cards, accepting credit cards, about 40% of people are paying with credit cards, but we still have a | 02:42:53 | |
lot of people that come and bring their five or 20. | 02:42:58 | |
And that would create some hassle as we as we take tickets. | 02:43:05 | |
I don't think it's that. | 02:43:12 | |
We need to. | 02:43:21 | |
It's pretty heavily subsidized. It doesn't need to be. | 02:43:24 | |
That's a great question. We've done different things like last year we just did a family and now created more pumps and. | 02:43:32 | |
One year. | 02:43:42 | |
Like 8 and under three or seven, six and under three we but I think. | 02:43:44 | |
Yeah, 10 dollars per dollar, $5 for kids. | 02:43:52 | |
Keeping utter. | 02:44:04 | |
It doesn't sound like there's a ton of support. That's what I would do. Yeah, something like that. Yeah. What would you do 10 | 02:44:06 | |
bucks for? | 02:44:10 | |
That's still a bargain. Can you get your family up? It's still cheaper. | 02:44:16 | |
How about deadline, though? That's and that's. That's a big job. | 02:44:22 | |
I know for sure I'm fine either way. I mean, it doesn't sound like it's been bringing enough money to be so. I mean, whatever. You | 02:44:29 | |
can even say something. I can and. | 02:44:33 | |
You're a donation at the Arts Council. | 02:44:38 | |
Tell you also fund VR. | 02:44:42 | |
Instead of just being a. | 02:44:45 | |
Charge for breakfast and tell them that it costs 1450. | 02:44:47 | |
You know. | 02:44:52 | |
Maybe we could share If anybody complaints about that, just say. | 02:44:54 | |
That we have subsidized it with the empty and we change it next year. There's some we're going to save enough money that it's | 02:45:06 | |
worth the. | 02:45:09 | |
I mean, doesn't have to be a real number like that. Can we say? | 02:45:13 | |
Or something like that. Yeah. Period. | 02:45:18 | |
You know, I just would rather see us try to keep it close, yeah, And do more regular changes just so that it's not $8 for adults | 02:45:21 | |
and five for kids. | 02:45:26 | |
And it's under 2 and under 3 or whatever and one of your substitute. | 02:45:32 | |
Start rationing. | 02:45:38 | |
For you. | 02:45:42 | |
Complaints. Don't be shut up on the passport. Really. Yeah. | 02:45:44 | |
All right. So agreement on that point, cost of living at 4%, everybody comfortable with that. Yeah, that's a good start point. | 02:45:48 | |
And everybody comfortable. | 02:45:58 | |
From 30 to 35 ish. | 02:46:03 | |
Yeah, we've got some cost increases. | 02:46:06 | |
And Jeff Whitney contract. | 02:46:11 | |
It does seem like it is it getting. | 02:46:14 | |
More well attended because it seems like it is. | 02:46:16 | |
And I think we're going to have a. | 02:46:20 | |
Are nice about the study here just because the energy behind. | 02:46:23 | |
And the energy splitting into these programs and she was on fire. | 02:46:27 | |
Is there anything that the Arts Council, any events they do or are they charged for anything? | 02:46:32 | |
Official opportunities to set up. | 02:46:40 | |
Don't forget, don't neglect part of the sale price of the paintings for the Oh yeah, we when they sell the downstairs, we get cut. | 02:46:43 | |
For the arts sales, and of course we have beer sales, pretty good fundraising and we sell boots at the Blue Moon Festival, but. | 02:46:53 | |
But just attendees, those are not charged. There's revenue coming in. Sponsors as well are paying for sponsor tables. So there's | 02:47:04 | |
an active effort. Yeah, they do generate revenue, but not in the way you were just suggesting in terms of I wasn't meaning | 02:47:10 | |
activities that they do that. Yeah. So they get 10 grand from Holiday Bank and Trust to sponsor the event they've actually put out | 02:47:17 | |
to. | 02:47:23 | |
Wires threat of sponsorship levels for local businesses for mentions and AD space entering conference series. | 02:47:30 | |
And then, so yeah, the Arts Council does generate revenue. | 02:47:37 | |
None at the cover cost and then they get. | 02:47:41 | |
Very successful if there's app applications and. | 02:47:44 | |
But when it all. | 02:47:48 | |
It's certainly into the hopper. They're still short below that. | 02:47:49 | |
That's right. I mean before we moved to a full time position about half of the money for program for the total program was. | 02:47:53 | |
Was raised either through. | 02:48:02 | |
Through all those sources that I'll just need. | 02:48:04 | |
It's a little different now because we do have a full time employee that's benefited. | 02:48:07 | |
Percentage has changed. | 02:48:14 | |
We'll look at that as part of the budget process as well. | 02:48:16 | |
The biggest word of the words in the word salad in the surveys. | 02:48:22 | |
It's surely true. Thanks for yeah. | 02:48:27 | |
OK. Thank you for the direction. I appreciate it. | 02:48:32 | |
10:00 Yeah, that's what it's going to take a long time. | 02:48:38 | |
Normal by the way. | 02:48:43 | |
I think it's good. | 02:48:47 | |
Move to Journey Night. | 02:48:50 | |
Wait, Please. Please. | 02:48:59 |
