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, November 19, 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 Utah Valley University's Vision 2030 Plan. (19-124)
- The Board of Trustees of the Utah Valley University recently approved the Vision 2030 Plan for the university. They would like to present the plan to all of the City Councils in Utah Valley.
- A presentation regarding the financial audit. (19-134)
- Jeff Miles will report his findings from an audit of Provo City's finances including a discussion on carryover diversion approvals.
- A discussion regarding updates to the Wastewater Impact Fee Facility Plan. (19-138)
- The Public Works Department has requested an update the Wastewater Impact fee Facility Plan (IFFP) to include the Wastewater infrastructure needs for the Medical School and the Mix projects.
- A presentation regarding the Utah Valley Hospital Expansion Project. (19-122)
- A discussion regarding the authorization of a 108 loan agreement with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to fund infrastructure for the airport. (19-136)
- When Duncan Aviation relocated to Provo, Provo City committed to building some of the infrastructure necessary to make that possible (see the attached resolution from 2017). One of the funding sources to pay for the infrastructure was a 108 Loan from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). We are in the process of finalizing our loan documents with HUD. One of HUD's requirements is that the City’s governing body passes a resolution authorizing the City to enter into this loan agreement with HUD. Since the City will need to complete all documentation before the end of the year, a resolution would need to be passed in the Council Meeting on December 10, 2019 to agree to this loan.
- A discussion regarding recycling in Provo City. (19-137)
- Councilor George Handley and Bryce Rolph (Public Works Sanitation Manager) will discuss recycling in Provo City including a summary of the City's current efforts and potential changes
- An ordinance amending the West Gateway Zone to better meet the purpose and objective of the Zone. Dixon and Franklin Neighborhoods. (PLOTA20190376)
- The West Gateway Zone (3.5 blocks between 800 West to 100 West) was adopted in 2012. It was developed from the Gateway Zone, but reduced the strictness in design codes in hopes to encourage redevelopment between the Gateway Zone and newly adopted Freeway Commercial Zone, while leaving in transitional single-family development standards meant to provide a protective transition to adjacent low-density residential areas. The amended zoning has not spurred redevelopment of the area. It is proposed to strengthen residential protections while making the permitted use list more consistent with the adjacent Gateway Zone. Planning Commission recommended approval.
- An ordinance amending the zone map classification of approximately 1.11 acres of property generally located at 688 N 100 W Residential Conservation (RC) to High Density Res. (HDR) and Med Dens. Res. (MDR) at 650 N 100 W. North Park Neighborhood. (PLRZ20190173)
- The applicant has requested to rezone some properties from Residential Conservation (RC) to High Density Residential (HDR) for new development and to rezone the adjacent parcels from RC to Medium Density Residential (MDR).
- The proposed MDR properties are already developed. The reason that they are being included with this request is to provide a transitional zoning buffer between the proposed HDR zone and surrounding RC zoning so that a ten foot wide landscape buffer is not required. The majority of the block consists of apartment complexes with student housing but is all zoned RC.
- The applicant feels that the highest and best use for his property would be multi-family housing due to the similarities of surrounding development and proximity to schools, work, public transportation and grocery stores. The applicant has met with the neighborhood about the proposed rezone and development. Planning Commission recommended approval.
- Resolutions authorizing the RDA to enter into an Interlocal Agreement with Provo City, Utah County, the Provo School District, and the Central Utah Water Conservancy District authorizing the use of Tax Increment Funding. (19-130 to 19-133)
- As part of the Mill Race Owner Participation Agreement, the Redevelopment Agency agreed to use its best efforts to collect tax increment to help fund the parking associated with the project. The four proposed resolutions (with accompanying Interlocal Agreements) would allow for the Redevelopment Agency to capture a portion of the tax increment that will be generated by the Mill Race construction and use it to help pay for the construction of the parking necessary for the Mill Race project.
- A resolution designating a survey area, authorizing the preparation of a draft Community Reinvestment Project Area Plan and Budget, and authorizing and directing all necessary action by the Redevelopment Agency, staff, and legal counsel. (19-135)
- Qualtrics, an important member of the Provo community, is seeking to expand their office space and employment base in Provo. This resolution would be the first step in creating a new Community Reinvestment area for the Riverwoods Business Park to help Qualtrics provide new office space and structured parking.
- An ordinance adopting a new Provo City Moderate Income Housing Plan as an element of the General Plan. Citywide Application. (PLGPA20190194)
- The Provo City Department of Development Services is requesting a General Plan Amendment to adopt the Provo City Moderate Income Housing Plan as an element of the Provo City General Plan. The current Moderate Income Housing Plan was adopted in 2018. New State Code requirements necessitate the updating of the plan to address those new requirements. All municipalities within the State of Utah are required to provide “a plan that provides a realistic opportunity to meet the need for additional moderate income housing.”
- Planning Commission recommended approval of the findings of the document, while continuing the review of the Moderate Income Housing Plan to allow a fuller discussion regarding recommendations for housing goals.
- 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.

- An ordinance to enact Provo City Code Section 15.03.105 (Temporary Limitations on Certain Sewer Connections). Citywide application. (PLOTA20190392)
- The request to amend this section of the Provo City Code is in response to limited sewer capacity west of I-15 in Provo and the potential for new development in that area to exceed the current capacity. The proposed text amendment would apply to any applications for new development in that area. Because of the length of the proposed amendment, staff suggested that the proposed language become a new code section (15.03.105). Planning Commission recommended approval.

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.
