1. | An ordinance amending the Zone Map classification of 3155 W Center Street, from A1 (Agricultural) to AI (Airport Industrial). Ryan McCoard is requesting a zone change for his parcels at 3155 West Center Street, from the Agricultural Zone to the Airport Industrial Zone, in order to build warehouses on the property. The conceptual site plan with the rezone request shows four (4) warehouses providing just over 100,000 square feet of floor space. This use would be permitted under the AI Zone and the concept generally meets the standards of the proposed zone. |
2. | An ordinance regarding communication towers and antennas. Development Services is proposing to amend the ordinance regulating the standards for conditional uses for communication towers (monopoles) and antennas. The proposed amendment will align Provo City Code with federal laws that regulate communication towers. Federal law requires approval unless there is a substantial change, such as increasing the height by ten percent. The City Code currently requires a conditional use permit when co-locating additional antennas on existing monopoles, and this does not meet their definition of a substantial change. This text amendment will also add clarification to the process when there is a need to change the tower location. |
3. | An update regarding improvements on Center Street in downtown Provo and associated construction. The Transportation and Mobility Advisory Committee reviewed and prioritized a number of improvements in order to enhance pedestrian safety and overall improve the quality of the user experience in downtown Provo. Engineering Staff will present a few proposed improvements which will take place shortly in downtown on Center Street - raised pedestrian crosswalks |
4. | A presentation regarding code-required and administrative reports. Pursuant to Provo City Code 2.50.130(2)(i), the Council Exceutice Director is to Evaluate, report, and make reccomendations to the Council as to whether the general intent of Council policies, in the form of ordinances and resolutions, are being complied with and carried forth by the City. City Code references 29 reports that are required to be given to the Council at various points of the year for various reasons. The purpose of this presentation is to revisit required reports to the Council. Many of these reports have not been received in over ten years. Council staff is seeking direction on what reports to keep, delete, add, or amend. Staff will review the code and provide recommendations. |
5. | A presentation regarding the Annual Fraud Risk Assessment. The State Auditor requires all Governmental entities do an annual Fraud Risk Assessment and have it signed by the CAO and CFO and then reviewed on a public meeting with the Governing Body. |
6. | A presentation regarding the balance of the Legacy CIP Fund. As follow up to a Council motion, Finance will report on the status of the Legacy CIP fund and CARES and ARPA funds, either spent, encumbered, or in fund balance. |
7. | A presentation addressing the dog problem. Many residents have complained about dogs running at large in city parks and on trails contrary to city leash laws, as well as dogs leaving animal waste behind. The Administration has been studying the issue and desires to bring the Municipal Council up to date on options for legislative, budgetary, enforcement and educational actions that could be taken to address the issues more proactively. |
8. | A discussion regarding the property tax rate for general operations. During the August 8th Truth in Taxation hearing, staff was directed to prepare two possible rates for the general operations portion of the Provo City property tax. Council staff will present tax rates of 0.000587, which would bring additional revenue into the general fund of $254,316, and a rate of 0.000567, which would bring in additional revenue to the general fund of $$151,943. |
9. | A discussion regarding expanding the tax increment finance agreement with the Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine. The economic costs of constructing on this site have increased due to the removal of thousands of tons of trash as well as the required foundational systems, and the installation of a methane mitigation system to dissipate methane gasses. The initial scope of the project was estimated at $160 million but has now increased to over $400 million. Expanding the scope and term of the agreement will increase the estimated value of the property from $22 million to over $400 million. |
