Citizens Agenda
Council meeting agendas are often difficult for people to navigate. Filled with jargon and legal requirements on how an item must be listed, it can be a challenge to determine what Council members are actually discussing or deciding on.What follows is a staff interpretation of the agendas.
The official published agendas and supporting materials can be found here: http://agendas.provo.org

PROVO MUNICIPAL COUNCIL
Work Meeting Agenda
1:00 PM, Tuesday, April 23, 2019
Work Meetings are designed to be a less formal venue for discussion among Council Members. Generally, no public input is taken during the meeting.
Business
- A presentation regarding proposed changes to the Parking Enforcement Fee Structure. (19-046)
- A new fee structure is proposed to comply with Utah Legislature HB0336 which modified the assessment of late fees for violations and will cause the City to be out of compliance as of July 1st, 2019. Also, an increase is proposed for all violation fees to cover expected Parking Enforcement operations costs.
- Parking Enforcement started the transition to become a stand alone function separate from Police and was officially under the oversight of the Customer Service Department in December of 2017. After a full year of analyzing the operations of Parking Enforcement, including staffing, rebranding, equipment, establishing routes, etc., as well as identifying potential immediate and future needs for the enforcement effort, an operating costs versus revenue analysis was completed. An increase in our current operating budget and the budget for the next few years will be necessary. A one-time increase of 25% for each violation fee is proposed.
- A discussion about the review of the Urban Deer Program. (19-147)
- In 2016, the City began an urban deer control program that will end on August 1, 2019. The Council has the opportunity to evaluate the program and determine whether to continue it. Public feedback was gathered on Open City Hall.
- A discussion about amending Ordinance 2019-01, previously approved on Jan. 22, 2019, with regard to the development agreement required in order for a zone change at 2300 N. University Pkwy to become effective. Carterville Neighborhood. (PLRZ201800406)
- The Mix would like to rework the development agreement that was included as part of the rezone for the zone change to ITOD zone. This action is to reconsider that previous development agreement and the completion of a new development agreement.
- A discussion regarding the policies and direction of the Foothills Protection Committee. (19-002)
- The Council recommends that Sign Committee suggested principles be implemented and return to Council with a code amendment at a meeting in May.
- The Foothills Protection Committee has met to discuss what can be done to protect the east bench of Provo City. As the conversation has progressed, the Foothills Protection Committee is prepared to come back to Council with a suggestion regarding protection of the foothills. the suggested ideas are:
- Require a project proposal with each grading permit
- Increase the bonding requirements for grading permit projects
- Require a landscaping plan as part of a project proposal
- As Council continues to work on the Foothills Protection issues, they will meet with Salt Lake County experts and discuss what they have done to protect the east side of Salt Lake County.
- A presentation on the Community Development Department and potential budget requests. (19-004)
- The Community Development Department will (1) report on how its operations contribute to City goals and objectives, and (2) identify potential budget needs for the department.
- A presentation on the Public Works Department and potential budget requests. (19-004)
- The Public Works Department will (1) report on how its operations contribute to City goals and objectives, and (2) identify potential budget needs for the department.
- A discussion about two ordinances the Zone Map Classification of approximately four acres from 500 S to 600 S and from 100 W to University Avenue. Downtown Neighborhood. (PLOTA20190046, and PLRZ20190047)
- Justin Earl is requesting approval of a new PRO zone called the Mill Race PRO. This zone is intended to be applied to the block between 500 South and 600 South, and 100 West and University Avenue. The City Council would need to amend the current zoning map to allow this development to occur. The applicant will still need to have a Project Plan approved by the DRC and Planning Commission after a decision is made on the PRO zone text amendment and zone map amendment for the property. The proposed project consists of a parking podium on the east half of the block, with an eight-story office building at the southeast corner, along 600 south and University Avenue; and a condo building on the northeast corner. The rest of the project will consist of two different five-story residential buildings with amenity space and open spaces in between. The zone will allow for buildings up to 195 feet. The proposed text amendment specifically addresses design standards and regulations for the proposed development. The main differences between the ITOD zone and the proposed PRO zone are an increased building height maximum, specifically defined parking standards, and the omitting of the minimum average unit size regulation.
- A discussion regarding an ordinance amending the Zone Map Classification of approximately 3.724 acres of property generally located 2400 N 650 E in the R1.10 Zone PD Performance to allow a Development Overlay Zone. Rock Canyon Neighborhood. (PLRZ20190029)
- This item is the approval of a PD Performance Development Overlay Zone on approximately 3.62 acres of property currently zoned R1.10 Residential. Approval of a PD Overlay Zone follows the same process as a rezoning, but requires a concurrent concept plan be approved in conjunction with the zoning overlay. A Performance Development Overlay allows two development options not otherwise allowed by the existing R1.10 Zone. First, it allows attached single-family units rather than requiring all units to be detached dwellings, in order to create an open space area on the property. Second, it allows a bonus density for additional units than would otherwise be realized within a standard subdivision. Details of the proposed project to be developed in conformance with the provisions of the PD Overlay are provided and discussed with the related item for the project plan.
- A discussion regarding amendments to the Provo City Code regarding the Board of Adjustment to comply with State Code. City-wide application. (PLOTA20190097)
- This item is an Ordinance Amendment to eliminate Subsection (4) from Section 14.05.010 Board of Adjustment Created. At issue is a conflict with the State Code, specifically Section 10.91-701(3)(b). The conflict that is obvious would be where a Board Member would act as part of the Appeal Authority over a decision made by them in their capacity as a Planning Commission member.
- Closed meetings (aka executive meetings) are held without the public present and must meet one of the conditions listed in Utah State Code (§ 52-4-204 and 52-4-205 et. seq.). If a closed meeting is needed, it will be announced at that time.

- This topic was discussed at the Municipal Council's Joint Meeting with the Provo City School Board. The discussion centers around the tax increment that will be derived from the housing associated with the Noorda Rocky Mountain School of Medicine.

What do those numbers at the ends of the agenda items mean?
- Items on the agenda are given a file number by Council staff or Community Development staff to help with tracking the item through the legislative process and to organize the supporting materials.
- You may find it helpful in cases where an item may be worded a little differently on different agendas. Matching up that file number helps you see that it is the same issue.
