Citizens Agenda for Meetings on October 18, 2022



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 challenging to determine what Council members are 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 both in-person and virtually. The in-person meeting will be held in the Council Chambers. 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.

PROVO MUNICIPAL COUNCIL

Work Meeting Agenda

12:30 pm, Tuesday, October 18, 2022

Council Chambers (Room 100)

445 W. Center Street, Provo, UT 84601 or https://www.youtube.com/provocitycouncil 


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. An ordinance amending the Zone Map Classification of approx. 8.1 acres of Real Property, generally located at 652 S Lakeview Pkwy, from Public Facilities (PF) & Agricultural (A1.5) to Airport Industrial (AI). Provo Bay Neighborhood. (PLRZ20220022)

  • Joel Pilling is requesting approval for a new warehouse development in a proposed at 652 South Lakeview Parkway. This proposal is to amend the zone map from the Public Facilities (PF) and Agricultural (A1) zones to the Airport Industrial (AI) zone. The project plan shows three separate buildings totaling 109,668 square feet of leasable warehouse space. Adjacent to the street is a landscaped yard, with additional landscaping on the site to buffer the buildings and provide shade in the parking lot.


  1. An ordinance amending Provo City Code Title 14 for all references of the sign code. Citywide application. (PLOTA20220287)

  • The Development Services Department is proposing to amend Title 14 for any zone chapter that mentions signs and to consolidate any mention of the sign code into Chapter 14.38 of the Provo City Code. Within Chapter 14.38, the respective zones are divided into sections that apply to each zone chapter (i.e. Downtown includes zones DT1, DT2, GW, WG, and ITOD). However, some of the zones were not included in a section of code that would apply to it; thus, the Planning Commission would have to classify the sign type based on what is most appropriate. With this update, each zone chapter has a section of sign code that applies to the zone. This will eliminate the opportunity for a dispute on what is the most appropriate type.


  1. An ordinance amending Provo City Code regarding required parking stall widths next to walls or columns. Citywide application. (PLOTA20220288)

  • The Development Services Department is proposing to amend the Parking Design Standards (14.37.100). This amendment would provide clearer design standards that are easy to understand. The purpose of this revision is to make it easier for an individual to park their vehicle in a parking garage without conflict of a column, wall, and free of obstructions within a parking stall.  Staff analyzed our current code and saw that this section of standards needed to be updated based on experience within parking garages in Provo. These standards will be applicable for any project seeking sub-grade parking or a parking structure.


  1. An ordinance amending sign requirements for the Mixed-Use (MU) and Neighborhood Mixed-Use (NMU) zones. Citywide Application. (PLOTA20220144 & PLOTA20220224)

  • Planning staff previously presented on the proposed signage requirements in the Mixed-Use Zones to the Council. These are related amendments that were presented to the Planning Commission on May 25, 2022, and July 27, 2022. These amendments would provide clearer standards that are easy to understand and reflect a similar regulation of electronic signs within residential zones. All sections of the amendments were recommended for approval by the Planning Commission 6:0.


  1. A presentation regarding the Utah Municipal Power Agency's proposed Integrated Resource Plan. (22-078)

  • Western Area Power Administration requires UMPA to submit an IRP every five years.  UMPA has submitted a plan, and the UMPA board of mayors has approved the draft to be reviewed by the public for comment during the month of October.


  • The IRP is a planning tool that guides the decision-making process for the utility, evaluating system requirements, economic viability, plant capability, and environmental sustainability.


  1. A presentation regarding an update on the MyHometown initiative (22-015)

  • The My Hometown Initiative has now been in operation for several months within neighborhoods in Provo. This presentation will provide a general update on the program, including many of its successes so far.


  1. A discussion on ARPA funds (22-017)

  • The Provo City ARPA Committee has requested Council discussion regarding the remaining unallocated $8,500,000 in discretionary ARPA funds received from the federal government. Funds must be obligated by December 31, 2024, and fully spent by December 31, 2026.


  1. A discussion regarding the proposed "Percent-for-the-Arts" program from the Public Art Committee. (22-061)

  • The Council's Public Art Committee was tasked with drafting an ordinance to enact a program with the goal of increasing public art throughout the city. This discussion will be the first presentation of the draft policy.


  1. An ordinance amending Provo City Code regarding Accessory Dwelling Units. Citywide Application. (PLOTA20220263)

  • The Provo City Municipal Council Housing Committee is requesting three ordinance text amendments to Title 14.30 of the Provo City Code; (1) to increase the occupancy limit of unrelated adults that are permitted to live within an accessory dwelling unit, (2) to increase the areas permitted for ADUs west of I-15, and (3) conditionally expand the permitted use of ADUs in areas primarily zoned for residential use throughout the city. These requested amendments have been studied and debated for months within the Council’s Housing Committee and been drafted with the help of City Development Services staff.


Closed Meeting

  • Closed meetings (aka executive meetings) are held without the public present and must meet one of the conditions listed in the Utah State Code (§ 52-4-204 and 52-4-205 et. seq.). It will be announced at that time if a closed meeting is needed.

  1. A presentation regarding the Quarterly Report for the 4th Quarter of Fiscal Year 2022. (22-021)

  • Overview of the financial results for the 4th quarter of Fiscal Year 2022.


  1. An ordinance adjusting the common boundary between Provo & Springville approx. 900 feet west of the intersection of State Street and 1400 N (Springville) in order to facilitate the construction of a road, which will move the boundary line 70 ft w(22-042)

  • There are two parcels of ground located in southeast Provo, a part of the Mountain Vista Business Center, that will be isolated and function as nuisance strips, as the extension of Sierra Vista Drive is constructed.  In working with the Utah Department of Transportation to gain access from the City road system onto the State road system, Provo City, along with several property owners, are required to relinquish their right of access in order to consolidate into one new access point - at the extension of Sierra Vista Drive.  As part of the negotiations to facilitate and encourage an adjacent property owner (Gateway Crossing Development) to relinquish their point of access, City staff is recommending trading land for giving up the point of access.  One of the parcels is being created by shifting the new road alignment to the west of its current alignment, and it will create a narrow remnant parcel next to an already narrow remnant parcel.  The value of the property the City is giving up was appraised at $60,000.00, and the relinquished access was appraised at $55,000.00.

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 track the item through the legislative process and organize the supporting materials.

  • You may find it helpful in cases where an item may be worded differently on different agendas. Matching up that file number helps you see that it is the same issue.
