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.

PROVO MUNICIPAL COUNCIL Redevelopment Agency of Provo Work Meeting 1:00 PM, Tuesday, June 06, 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. |
1. | A discussion on an ordinance amending Provo City Code regarding location of boats, recreational vehicles, and trailers, Section 14.34.060. Citywide Application. PLOTA20230034 Section 14.34.060 of the Provo City Code currently regulates the location of boats, boat trailers and travel trailers in residential zones of Provo City. Development Services Department wishes to amend the text of this section to clarify the wording as well as include Trailers, along with a definition of Trailers in section 14.06.020. It is believed that this will allow for a more equitable enforcement of trailers in general throughout Provo City Residential Zones. |
2. | A discussion on an ordinance amending Provo City Code regarding downtown parking in Sections 14.21A.150 and 14.21B.140 PLOTA20230094 The Development Services Department is requesting approval of text amendments to the General Downtown (DT1) and Downtown Core (DT2) Zones in order to add parking exemptions for some existing structures in portions of downtown Provo. These exemptions would only be for existing buildings when a change of use occurs and would not apply to any new expansion of the buildings within the defined area. The specific area (shown in the attachments) identifies the area for which this exemption would be applicable and runs from 500 West to 100 East on Center Street, and Center Street to 300 North on University Avenue. This area includes 115 properties, of which 105 have very little or no off-street parking on site. 63 of the properties are within the official Provo Downtown Historic District, which runs from 300 West to 100 East along Center Street. The proposed amendments state that buildings that have frontage in the area described above will not be required to provide any new off-street parking unless there is an addition. |

A presentation regarding efforts addressing homelessness in Provo City - Mountainland Continuum of Care (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 Mountainland Continuum of Care. |
5. | A presentation Fiscal Year 2023 Year End Cleanup Appropriations. (23-008) Near the end of each fiscal year, Finance reviews the budget to see if any shortages are projected. For example, in FY23, the Streets Division had to spend significantly more on salt and overtime due to the record-breaking amount of snow received. This is necessitating a year-end appropriation so that the division has sufficient budget to make it through the end of June. Having sufficient budget is important for governmental funds since shortages result in audit findings. Finance will review other areas of the budget to see if any additional appropriations related to budget shortages will be necessary. In addition to budget shortage appropriations, Development Services is requesting that scooter revenue received in FY23 be appropriated to cover wayfinding costs. We will provide more information about the exact appropriation needs and amounts closer to the meeting date. |
6. | A discussion regarding the adoption of the 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan. (23-027) This is the Annual Action plan allocating funds and setting goals for CDBG and HOME funding. This is year 4 in the 20-24 Consolidated Plan |
7. | A discussion on an ordinance amending city code regarding apartment building signage requirements. (23-048) During the May 2nd Work Meeting, the Council motioned to direct staff to prepare an amendment requiring apartment buildings to post a sign listing the contact information of the property and or maintenance manger. The intent was to facilitate open lines of communication between tenants & landlords and to provide a channel for prompt/efficient maintenance services to residents. |
8. | A discussion regarding property tax (23-008) If the Council wishes to enact the Truth in Taxation process, it must adopt a proposed tax rate on or before June 22, 2023. The purpose of this presentation is to inform the Council on a variety of options to increase revenue via property tax. Council Staff will present a variety of scenarios and forecasts. The last property tax increase occurred last year and consisted of a 2.9% increase in the General Operations portion of the property tax levy. |
9. | A discussion regarding housing affordability strategies. (23-043) As part of the Council's priority to discuss housing affordability in Provo, this discussion aims to assess various strategies the Council may take to improve housing attainability for residents. |
10. | A discussion regarding RDA strategy (23-045) 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. |
The Municipal Council or the Governing Board of the Redevelopment Agency will consider a motion to close the meeting for the purposes of holding a strategy session to discuss pending or reasonably imminent litigation, and/or to discuss the purchase, sale, exchange, or lease of real property, and/or the character, professional competence, or physical or mental health of an individual in conformance with 52-4-204 and 52-4-205 et. seq., Utah Code. |
