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
This meeting will be conducted as a hybrid meeting, with some in-person components as well as continued virtual meeting access. The meeting will be available to the public for live broadcast and on-demand viewing on YouTube and Facebook at: youtube.com/provocitycouncil and facebook.com/provocouncil. The in-person meeting will be held in the Council Chambers. For information on how to view the meetings and how to contribute public comments without attending in person, click here.
PROVO MUNICIPAL COUNCIL
Work Meeting Agenda
12:30 pm, Tuesday, February 1, 2022
Work Meetings are designed to be a less formal venue for discussion among Council Members. Generally, no public input is taken during the meeting.
Policy Items Referred from the Landmarks Commission
A resolution adding the structure known as the Milner-Wright Home, located at 1115 East 640 South, to the Provo Landmarks Register. Provost Neighborhood. (PLLN20210394)
Cindy Caldwell has nominated their house located at 1115 East 640 South to be placed on the Provo Landmarks register. City staff and the Landmarks Commission review these types of nominations for compliance with the requirements and standards set forth in Provo City Code 16.05.020. The Landmarks Commission reviewed the documentation for completeness, accuracy, and compliance with the “Criteria for Designating Historic Properties to the Provo Landmarks Register” per 16.05.030(3) recommended approval.
Policy Items Referred from the Planning Commission
An ordinance amending Provo City Code Title 15 regarding the process and requirements for appeals related to impact fees. Citywide application. (PLOTA20210273)
Recently, it was realized that the Provo City Code has no criteria under which an appeal of impact fees may be heard. The attached amendments are intended to clarify this deficiency. The proposed changes to Sections of Chapter 15.08 include new language to reference and concur with Utah State code, to develop a process for a developer to adjust or challenge an impact fee, to establish regulations for review of fee adjustments, to establish criteria for a department or the Mayor to grant an adjustment to the fees, and to clarify appeal rights for such actions. Planning Commission recommended approval.
An ordinance amending the Zone Map Class. of approx. 1.10 acres at 669 S 1600 W from the A1.1 (Agricultural) to R1.8 (One-Family Residential) to create four residential building lots & authorizing a development agreement. Sunset Neighborhood. PLRZ20210383
Andy Jones is requesting approval of a Zone Map Amendment from the A1.1 zone to the R1.8 to create a four-lot subdivision for property at 669 South 1600 West. This property is currently vacant land. All the adjacent properties are zoned A1.1, with the only exception being a one-acre section of R1.10 across the street to the west. The land uses surrounding this property are single-family homes, some with related agricultural uses. Planning Commission recommended approval.
An ordinance amending the Zone Map Class. of 1.39 acres located 46 W to 90 W 800 N from Residential Conservation (RC) to Campus Mixed Use (CMU) to allow for a 62-unit apartment complex & authorizing a development agreement. North Park Neighborhood. PLRZ20210112
Tim Metler is requesting a zone map amendment from the RC (Residential Conservation) zone to the CMU (Campus Mixed Use) zone for property at 90 W 800 N, in order to build a 62-unit apartment complex as part of a phased development plan. This proposal comes as a request to change the zoning on a total of 1.39 acres of property which includes a phase one concept plan of .77 acres and a later phase to replace the existing Foxwood Apartments. The redevelopment of the Foxwood Apartment piece would come at a later date but is shown to illustrate how the two developments could work together. Planning Commission recommended denial.
Business
A presentation of the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Budget Calendar. (22-016)
The purpose of this presentation is to go over the Fiscal 2022-2023 Budget Calendar with Council members, and to answer their questions about the budget process.
A presentation regarding Provo City's use of federal dollars from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). (22-017)
The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) passed by Congress in 2021 dedicated money to state and local governments in light of the COVID pandemic and its effects. In 2022, Provo City has the opportunity to use this one-time money for various projects.
A presentation regarding the My Hometown Initiative. (22-015)
Since 2019, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the City of West Valley have been engaged in a pilot program to create a replicable, sustainable, family-centric community where individuals and families can live, work and thrive. It is to build communities and neighborhoods where people want to move in and stay. After about a year of the West Valley pilot, Provo City was approached by the Church to consider expanding the pilot program in Provo. The Mayor's Office has led the exploration and visioning for this expansion, and the Church is now beginning the process of engaging two Church stakes - the Provo Freedom Stake and the Provo South Stake - in planning and execution and inviting neighboring stakes to call service missionaries to staff the program. The Mayor's Office would like to brief the Council on the program and talk about this exciting opportunity to build neighborhood capacity and resilience.
A presentation reviewing Provo City General Plan- Part 2 of 3 (22-011).
The newly drafted Provo City General Plan has been divided into 3 parts, each of which will be given a Work and Regular Council meeting for discussion and public input. This presentation and discussion is for the second of these three sections and includes the following General Plan components: Livable Provo, Connected and Safe and A City That Leads.
A discussion regarding redistricting adjustments to Provo School Board District maps. (22-003)
Discussion of redistricting maps submitted by the public and criteria for selecting the final map. The next step will be to select a group of maps to place on Open City Hall for public input. The Council will make their final map selection at the February 15 Council meeting.
A discussion regarding redistricting adjustments to City Council District maps. (22-003)
The Municipal Council has seven members with two at-large or citywide members and five members representing smaller districts. The Council has been considering the option of revisiting this arrangement and needs to make any change before opening the Council map portion of the web application to the public.

Action Agenda
A resolution adding the structure known as the Milner-Wright Home, located at 1115 East 640 South, to the Provo Landmarks Register. Provost Neighborhood. (PLLN20210394)
This was item 1 on the work meeting agenda.
A resolution appropriating $75,734 in the Economic Development Division in the General Fund for a sales tax increment post-performance payment to the East Bay Shopping Center. (22-008)
In June 2018 the Municipal Council approved a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an agreement between Provo City and East Bay Shopping Center LLC, the ownership group of the East Bay Shopping Center at 979 S University Ave. At the meeting the Council was presented with a request to reimburse the ownership group for the remodel, construction, and opening of a new Ross retail store, which would serve as a magnet to attract other retailers to fill this retail center. The reimbursement would be funded through retail sales tax increment above the established predetermined sales tax revenue generated by the retail center as of a certain date. The baseline revenue was established at $90,099, which represents one half of one percent of total sales generated at the center, or that portion of sales tax revenue received by Provo City from the retail center, as provided by the State of Utah. In this Agreement, Provo City will continue to receive the baseline amount of $90,099. The developer/owner will receive on an annual basis, a reimbursement against their actual out-of-pocket expenses, that is, any additional sales tax revenue above and beyond the baseline amount of $90,099. The term of this agreement runs for ten years. In that time the developer/owner will be able to be reimbursed for up to one half of the out-of-pocket costs for the above-described expenses. The target reimbursement amount as per the agreement is $1,154,385 which is one half of the total out-of-pocket expenses which were $2,308,770. This is the second payment in the ten-year agreement, that is $75,734 which represents the amount over the baseline of $90,099. The total received in 2 years is $114,358.

This was item 4 on the work meeting agenda.
A resolution of the City of Provo declaring support for the locally preferred alternative for the South Valley Transit Project (22-010).
The forecasted substantial long-term population and employment growth in south Utah County will result in requiring additional and robust transit options to meet the forecasted travel demand and provide direct connections to regional destinations. As such, Provo City and many partners have considered various alternatives as part of the South Transit Study and recommend the Locally Preferred Alternative for the South Valley Transit Study to be implemented as outlined in the South Valley LPA Resolution.

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
