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.

This meeting will be conducted both in-person and virtually. The in-person meeting will be held in the Council Chambers (445 W. Center St., Provo).

PROVO MUNICIPAL COUNCIL
Work Meeting Agenda
11:30 am, Tuesday, April 18, 2023
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 Provo City code to prohibit the issuance of administrative approvals for noncompliant properties or businesses. (PLOTA20230048)
Provo City Development Services is proposing amendments to Section 17.03.100 of the Provo City Code. The proposed amendments have been developed through working with the City Administration and Provo Legal Department; and would be applicable citywide. The proposed amendments add “administrative approvals” to the title and goes on to improve and clarify the language to allow the City to withhold approvals for properties that have been found to have a current code violation.
2. An ordinance approving the petition to annex approximately 106 acres of property located at approximately 2250 S 950 E. East Bay Neighborhood (PLANEX20220317)
This item is an annexation request for property located at 2800 S 750 E. The total acreage is approximately 106.19 contiguous acres. The subject area is located just south of the Timpanogos Golf Club. Interstate 15 lies immediately to the west and 950 East lies immediately to the east. The Pacific States industrial property lies immediately east of 950 East. Springville City lies immediately to the south of the subject property. The property lies approximately one-half mile north of 1400 North in Springville City.
3. An ordinance amending Zone Map classification of approximately 0.84 acres of real property, generally located at 141 E 500 N, from Residential Conservation (RC) to Medium Density Residential (MDR) & authorizing a related development agreement. Joaquin Neighborhood. (PLRZ20220343)
Nathan Turner is requesting approval of a concept plan for overall site improvements over five properties and conversion of a single-family home on one of the properties in the Joaquin neighborhood, along 500 North. Specifically, the request is to improve landscaping throughout the five properties and install a volleyball court, fire pit, picnic areas, and basketball court. The concept plan also includes the conversion of the single-family home at 141 East 500 North to a two-family dwelling and adding the additional parking for that new unit on the northeast corner of the site. To enable these changes and to conform with the neighborhood plan Mr. Turner has also requested a zone change from the RC zone to the MDR zone. The existing site has some nonconformities with the MDR zone that would continue to exist with the concept plan provided, including parking and setbacks. While there is a long-range concept plan submitted there is no timeline or plans from this owner to move forward with redevelopment of the corner in the near future. Staff did some preliminary evaluation of the long-term concept plan for a twenty-seven-unit, three-story apartment building that could fit on the property and comply with MDR zone standards. However, for the purpose of this application, staff is only evaluating and providing information on the immediate concept plan.
4. An ordinance amending the Zone Map classification of approximately 0.48 acres of real property, located at 734 S Utah Ave, from Heavy Commercial (CM) to One Family Residential (R1.8). Provost Neighborhood. (PLRZ20230019)
Janet Dolen is requesting a Zone Map Amendment from the CM zone to the R1.8 zone for property that belongs to her family trust, at 735-737 South State Street and 734 South Utah Avenue. The proposed amendment is just for approximately six-thousand square feet of the CM zone to be converted to the R1.8 zone, matching the current zoning for the home at 734 S Utah Ave. The reason for the amendment is to have the correct zoning align with a proposed realignment of the property lines belonging to the Lucille Moore Trust. A final subdivision application has gone through staff review and is ready for approval subject to this zone change being approved. This will allow the applicant to have clean lot lines for the subject parcels, and zoning that matches the use on the ground. There is no development or concept plan with this rezone request, so staff did not complete an in-depth analysis of surrounding uses. Future owners would need to comply with the underlying zoning on the properties or request zone changes of their own. The property proposed for the zone change has been historically used for residential purposes, which can be seen from the aerial imagery showing fence lines and yard use. The existing uses are intended to continue, according to the applicant.
5. A Resolution to place the vacant property known as a "proposed tennis court" in Block "A" Vivian Park Subdivision on the Surplus Property List. (23-040)
In 1970, Provo City received a deed for this subject property along with five (5) other lots to run a water line through the Vivian Park Subdivision. Since then, another water line was installed in the street, off of this location. Several years ago, we surplused and sold the other parcels for development. The subject property has been retained because it is not developable because of the designation of the property as a "Tennis Court" on the subdivision plat. We have now received an offer to purchase the property "as is" with the understanding that it cannot be developed. The departments have reviewed the potential sale of the property and there are no further needs of the city identified for the property, so it would be appropriate to surplus and sell. We have had the property appraised and it indicated the value of $35,000 for this 0.12 acre parcel.
6. A presentation regarding the proposed Annual Action Plan funding for the 2023-2024 year. (23-027)
This is an overview of the 2023-2024 Annual Action plan funding prior to opening a public comment period in the April 18, 2023 Regular Council Meeting. 7. An ordinance granting FIF Utah LLC, DBA Utah Broadband, a nonexclusive franchise to operate a telecommunications network in Provo, Utah. (23-039)
FIF Utah (aka Utah Broadband, a high-speed internet provider) asked
Engineering for a permit to run conduit in the City. We subsequently discovered that
they also intend to sell service to Provo City residents. A franchise agreement with the
City is therefore required. We provided a template, which FIF filled out and signed. Per
City ordinance, the agreement requires Council approval and the Mayor's signature.
8. An ordinance amending Provo City code regarding micromobility devices. Citywide application. (23-022)
The Administration has requested this item to discuss the emergence
of new types of micro mobility devices, including, but not limited to, e-scooters, e-bikes,
hoverboards, etc. and how these devices might be best regulated throughout the City.
9. A presentation regarding the Fiscal Year 2024 Budget- Legal (23-008)
