Citizens Agenda for Meetings on May 21, 2019

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, May 21, 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
  1. A presentation regarding the Municipal Wastewater Planning Program Annual Report. (19-064)
    • Each year the City must update a self-assessment regarding the sewer collection and treatment system for submission to the State as part of our sewer discharge permit.
  2. A presentation on the Parks and Recreation Department and potential budget impacts. (19-004)
    • Revenue and reinvestment from the Recreation Center are key pieces of the Provo City Budget. Scott Henderson, the Director of Parks and Recreation, will present to the Council about how the Recreation Center affects the budget. FISCAL IMPACT: $413,646 will be provided for the maintenance of the Recreation Center and equipment, with unused funds moved forward for future use. The Recreation, Arts, and Parks (RAP) tax is expected to generate approximately $1.325 million in FY2020 for recreation and arts projects.
  3. A presentation on the Human Resources Department and potential budget impacts. (19-004)
    • The Budget Highlights for FY 2020 listed several changes that affect personnel budgets, including merit increases (2.5%), market adjustments, retirement increases, insurance increases (4.5%), and parental leave. The presentation will explain the changes and the anticipated affect on the budget.

    • This resolution corrects an omission in the Airport revenue bond interest budget funded from fund balance in the amount of $98,238. It also increases the budget for $21,000 in airport security fencing also from fund balance in the Airport fund. The resolution also increases funding in the water fund by $500,000 for water reuse studies, $75,000 for airport contract services, and $200,000 for well development which is funded from higher than anticipated utility rate revenue.
  5. A presentation regarding code enforcement. (19-065)
    • For FY 2016, the Council approved funding for two additional Code Compliance Officer positions. For FY 2017, the Council adopted the Zoning Disclosure requirement. This presentation will compare data gathered to show the effect the changes have had on code enforcement.
  6. A presentation regarding the implementation of the General Plan. (19-066)
    • Council staff have worked with almost every City department to report on the implementation of the 420 goals listed in the General Plan. Goal statuses were reported as follows:
      • Complete: 28
      • Ongoing (no end date): 345
      • In Progress (toward an end date): 13

Policy Items Referred from the Planning Commission
  1. A discussion regarding the adoption of a Supplementary Residential (S) Overlay Zone in a One-Family Residential (R1.8) Zone located at approximately 244 E 2100 N. Pleasant View Neighborhood. (PLRZ20190094)
    • The applicant is requesting the adoption of the Supplementary Residential Overlay to the existing R1.8 zone. The S Overlay would allow accessory apartments if the home is owner occupied. The applicant has received support from the majority of the residents in the proposed rezone area. The majority of homes in the Pleasant View neighborhood already have an “S” or “A” Overlay applied to them. Planning Commission recommended approval.
  1. A discussion regarding a General Plan amendment to add the Utah Transit Authority Station Area Plan to the Downtown Master Plan as an appendix. City-wide impact. (PLGPA20190059)
    • Three years ago the Downtown Master Plan was adopted. Since then, community stakeholders including area residents, property owners, and developers have collaborated with the Utah Transit Authority, Provo City staff and Mountainland Association of Governments to create a vision and direction for the Provo Station. The Provo Station area is projected to have 900,000 sf of new development (325,000 sq. residential, 475,000 sf. office and 100,000 sf. small-scale retail in a mixed use context). The proposed Station Area Plan – Provo Station will be an appendix to the Downtown Master Plan. Planning Commission recommended approval.
  2. A discussion regarding a zone change from Regional Shopping (SC3) to Health Care Facilities Zone (HCF) for 22.12 acres, and to Campus Mixed Use (CMU) for 8.94 acres, located at 178 E 1860 S. East Bay Neighborhood. (PLRZ20180321)
    • Provo City has conveyed 22.12 acres of the Reserve at East Bay Golf Course to GT Medical Holdings for the construction of the Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine. As part of this transaction the developers of the medical school are paying for the redesign and relocation of the affected golf course holes. A 7.82 acre parcel to the north of the medical school parcel and directly west of the US Bureau of Reclamation Office has been purchased for the development of 793 units of apartment housing. The applicant has begun preliminary discussion with Provo City to purchase a portion of the storm water retention facility to the west of the 7.82 acre parcel to include in the apartment development. Previously the General Plan Designation for the area was changed from Commercial to Mixed Use and Public Facilities. Planning Commission recommended approval.
  3. A discussion on a zone change request from One-Family Residential (R1.10) to Light Manufacturing (M1) for approximately 7.7 acres of land located at approximately 1060 E 1320 S. Spring Creek Neighborhood. (PLRZ20190117)
    • The applicant is requesting a zone change from R1.10 to the M1 at approximately 1060 E 1320 S. In 2017 the Southeast Neighborhood Plan was adopted by the City. The future land use map in the plan calls for this area to be Low Density Residential (LDR) and Medium Density Residential (MDR). In the interim time the property was rezoned from the M1 zone to the R1.10 zone. In 2019 there was a subdivision of the Pro Steel property and this parcel was created. They are now requesting to rezone it back to M1 for this new parcel, but not the Pro Steel parcel. Planning Commission recommended denial.
Closed Meeting
    • 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.

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.
Council meetings are broadcast live and available later on demand at https://www.youtube.com/user/ProvoCityCouncil
