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 both in-person and virtually. The in-person meeting will be held in the Council Chambers (445 W. Center St., Provo). 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
11:30 am, Tuesday, May 16, 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 General Plan Appendix C regarding annexation map and policies. Citywide application. (PLGPA20230063)
Staff have reviewed the General Plan policies against some of the properties in areas five and six and have determined that the policies on land use for annexation need to be amended. There are agricultural lands in these annexation areas that would have to come in as Open Space zoning under the current policies. Adding language to allow agricultural properties to come in under agricultural zoning will simplify the process for annexation and ease the burden on these agricultural landowners. The language change would only apply to properties previously used for agriculture and that are intended to remain in agricultural production.
2. An ordinance amending the zone map class. of approx. 2 acres of property, located at 2075 W Center Street, from One-Family Residential (R1.8) to Mixed Use (MU) & authorizing and related development agreement. Provo Bay Neighborhood. (PLRZ20210271)
Steve Turley is requesting approval of a zone change at 2075 West Center Street that would replace approximately 2 acres of the existing R1.8 (OneFamily Residential) zone on the north portion of the parcel with the MU (Mixed Use) zone and leave the remainder of the lot as undeveloped R1.8 zoned land. The property is surrounded by mostly detached one-family dwellings, with R1.8 zoning to the west and south and R1.8PD zoning to the southeast. The property to the south of this lot is currently vacant, and there is a PF zone on one parcel to the east for a fire station. To the north and northeast of the property is the CG zone which includes the 7- 11 and some vacant commercial parcels that are home to temporary commercial uses at times. The dominant land use in this area are single-family homes, with around forty (40) one-family detached dwellings within five-hundred feet (500’) of the subject property.
3. An ordinance amending Provo City Code regarding development landscaping requirements. Citywide Application. (PLOTA20230079)
Parkstrips are currently limited to 60% non-vegetative coverage while xeric landscaping in front yards requires a minimum of 35% vegetative coverage (not including trees and weeds). By amending the requirements for both parkstrips and yards to a minimum of 40% vegetative coverage (not including trees), the City can standardize language while slightly increasing the amount of vegetation required for xeric landscaping. Staff recommend that the minimum vegetative coverage requirement for interior landscaping strips in a parking lot be increased from 35% to 40% to remain consistent.
4. An ordinance to amend the General Plan Appendix S: Downtown Master Plan to update the document policies, graphics, and data. (PLGPA20220362)
The Downtown Master Plan (Plan) encompasses most of the Downtown Neighborhood and edges of seven adjacent neighborhoods including: Dixon, Timp, North Park, Joaquin, Franklin, Franklin South, and East Bay. The portions of the Downtown Neighborhood that are not addressed in the subject Plan are included in the Maeser, Joaquin and Franklin Neighborhood Plans. Future or amended plans developed by the City—specifically the Transportation Master Plan, the Bicycle Master Plan, the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, and any station area plan that overlap the downtown area—should reflect the policies of this document.
5. A presentation regarding the Redevelopment Agency of Provo City Corporation. (23-045)This presentation and discussion's purpose is to review the role, projects (past, current, and future), and finances of the RDA of Provo City.
6. A presentation regarding an appropriation for a new golf cart storage building at Timpanogos Golf Club. (23-046)
As part of the golf course’s effort to become the most environmentally sustainable facility in the region, we are needing to add a new cart storage facility that will be the groundwork for a 100% electric cart fleet. The current cart storage area only holds 38 carts and has not allowed the course to convert its 80 carts to electric. This building will hold and be able to charge 80 electric golf carts. We are hoping upon completion of the facility we will transition to an electric fleet within 2 to 3 years when electric cart pricing normalizes. The opportunity to build the building now is driven by a partnership between the new Noorda Osteopathic Medical School and the completion of their new roadway and campus. The Noorda Osteopathic Medical School has agreed to pay for the concrete slab for the building. The total cost of the project is $381,000. Funding for this project will be from an internal loan from the Parks and Recreation Department CIP Fund that will be paid back over 7 years from golf course revenues.
7. A presentation regarding efforts addressing homelessness in Provo City- Food & Care Coalition. (23-018)
In an effort to understand more about resources dedicated to homelessness, various community partners will present about the work they do in Provo City and the greater Utah Valley region. This week's presentation will be from the Food and Care Coalition. More information on the organization including how to access resources can be found here: https://foodandcare.org/ https://foodandcare.org/faqs/
8. A presentation regarding the Quarterly Report for the 2nd Quarter of FY23. (23-020)
Provide an update to the Municipal Council and residents on the revenues and expenses for the second quarter ending December 31, 2022 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023.

As part of the review of the proposed tentative budget for FY2023-2024, this presentation will review the budgeted transfers between utility funds and the general fund.
12. A discussion regarding the General Fund (23-008)
This presentation will go over expenses and revenues in the General Fund, analysis of several financial ratios, and select other data points regarding the General Fund. The purpose is to help Councilors with understanding both the overall health of the fund and where money is being allocated within the fund as a whole. Overall, the General Fund presents a balanced budget.
13. A presentation of the FY2024 Tentative Budget and Council Priorities (23-008)

4. An ordinance amending the General Plan Map of Provo City to include General Plan Map amendments previously adopted in ordinances 2022-37, 2022-38, AND 2022-56. Citywide Application. (Related to PLGPA20210364)
Staff inadvertently left off a few localized General Plan amendments (see Ordinances 2022-37, 2022-38, and 2022-56), which were adopted by the Council at the later end of 2022, from the (entire) General Plan Map revision adopted by Council on January 17, 2023. This proposal would restore these localized General Plan amendments to the (entire) General Plan Map. Staff spoke with the City Attorney's Office and it appears this proposal would not need to go to the Planning Commission because they have already given a recommendation on these localized General Plan amendments.
5. An ordinance amending Provo City General Plan Appendix C regarding annexation map and policies. Citywide application. (PLGPA20230063)
Staff have reviewed the General Plan policies against some of the properties in areas five and six and have determined that the policies on land use for annexation need to be amended.

Adding language to allow agricultural properties to come in under agricultural zoning will simplify the process for annexation and ease the burden on these agricultural landowners. The language change would only apply to properties previously used for agriculture and that are intended to remain in agricultural production.
6. An ordinance amending the zone map class. of approx. 2 acres of property, located at 2075 W Center Street, from One-Family Residential (R1.8) to Mixed Use (MU) & authorizing and related development agreement. Provo Bay Neighborhood. (PLRZ20210271)

The dominant land use in this area are single-family homes, with around forty (40) one-family detached dwellings within five-hundred feet (500’) of the subject property.
