Welcome, David to the Vineyard Planning Commission meeting. | 00:00:17 | |
Today is December 18th, 2024. It is 6:02 PM and we'll get things started. Natalie Harbin is going to give us a pledge of a Pledge | 00:00:21 | |
of Allegiance and an invocation. All right, pledge first. All right, let's do it. | 00:00:29 | |
I pledge allegiance to flag the United States of America to the public, which it stands one nation under God, indivisible, with | 00:00:38 | |
liberty and justice for all. | 00:00:44 | |
Let's pray. | 00:00:52 | |
Father, we thank you for your goodness to us. We thank you for this evening and for every minute and hour that you give us. | 00:00:54 | |
We ask that this would be a productive time where we are thoughtful and mindful of our present and our future and the gift that it | 00:01:00 | |
is to us, and that we would be thoughtful as well and kind in our remarks and give us wisdom. And we ask all these things in Jesus | 00:01:06 | |
name, Amen. | 00:01:11 | |
You, Natalie. | 00:01:18 | |
All right, we'll move to public comments. David, you got anything for us? | 00:01:20 | |
Sure. | 00:01:28 | |
So David Larae, resident. | 00:01:30 | |
So I've, I've heard rumors that we're having discussions about the. | 00:01:33 | |
Pod two of the homesteads development, the city is having discussions with them and about they like to change the zoning for that | 00:01:41 | |
area from what it's currently is, which is our 1-8. | 00:01:47 | |
To something that would allow the more density. | 00:01:54 | |
I use like the comment that we have out there right now next to it in pod one. Which one is Pod 2 again? It's this the field | 00:01:58 | |
between the school and the first cul-de-sac. Yeah, just just South of school and it ends at the cul-de-sac, first cul-de-sac on | 00:02:04 | |
off of Holy Rd. on the east side of Holy Rd. Yeah. | 00:02:10 | |
So that's anyway. And so there is a. | 00:02:17 | |
And I was hearing about a list of all the wonderful things that the developer is going to give us, like they're going to give us a | 00:02:21 | |
10 foot wide trail, you know, down there. And so to connect, go long Hallway Rd. then connect over to the sports park and they're | 00:02:27 | |
going to give us no additional entrances onto Hallway road and a couple of things like that. And if I, as I looked, I went back | 00:02:34 | |
and got my maps from from 2017 when they were when they were, we talked about that last. | 00:02:41 | |
Here this meeting and they. | 00:02:48 | |
Those were already on the table and we already had those. He's not like he's giving us anything new for that. | 00:02:51 | |
So I just want to say that if by chance you all get to be involved in any discussions about that, would you please keep in mind | 00:02:57 | |
that that that what, that those aren't new offerings. He's just asking for something more, giving us the same things. | 00:03:04 | |
And so if he really, really wants to do that badly and the city really feels the necessity to make the higher density. | 00:03:12 | |
I would not be in favor of that personally, but that's what the case. Then please make sure you're getting something good from him | 00:03:19 | |
in return. | 00:03:23 | |
So that's that's number one, number two. | 00:03:28 | |
About the same same issue. | 00:03:31 | |
Some reasons to some reasons for considering not going to higher density there is that we've in the city we're doing a lot with | 00:03:34 | |
high density already. And the idea is the idea he's selling as understand it is that these make great starter, make better starter | 00:03:41 | |
homes. Right now a single family dwelling is is out of reach of most people starting out. | 00:03:47 | |
And I see that as a good point. However, if we do do that, then we'll. | 00:03:55 | |
We'll be making even more. | 00:04:02 | |
Vineyard will be more higher density everywhere else and we'll have more starter home and more people just starting out who will | 00:04:05 | |
financially not be as able to contribute in other ways to the city. You know, we ought, we're often compared to Cottonwood Heights | 00:04:11 | |
because we have similar sizes, but the difference there is that they have a lot more business. So they have a better tax base | 00:04:17 | |
there and also they have a also there are a lot more. | 00:04:23 | |
Because they're nowadays $1,000,000 homes. I mean any anything bigger than 1/3 of an acre with a big house is $1,000,000 anymore. | 00:04:30 | |
So they have a lot more of those and so they have a lot more people who are further along in the, in the, in their path through | 00:04:38 | |
life and, and probably better able to support things like the latest 5K run or the, or sponsoring part of the Boa Palooza and | 00:04:45 | |
things like that. And so we don't have a lot of that in our city. If you think about it. We have the lake fronts and we have the, | 00:04:52 | |
so the shore, sorry, the shores and the Hamptons. And then we have a sleepy Ridge and. | 00:04:59 | |
Maybe a few other houses scattered throughout, but not a real solid development of, of higher end homes. And so we really don't. | 00:05:07 | |
So if we end up catering to lots and lots and lots of starter homes, I mean, at one, at one hand, that's nice to give people a | 00:05:13 | |
product to move into, but the other hand, we're limiting our, our ability as a city to be able to fund ourselves. And, and you | 00:05:19 | |
know, because all those folks will be, they'll be more than payment property tax, but less overall. And so we, we, we, we need to | 00:05:25 | |
be. | 00:05:31 | |
That we're, besides growing our business base which we should be focusing on, we should also be making sure that as from a | 00:05:37 | |
residential standpoint that our property tax base doesn't get, you know, washed out or diluted. | 00:05:43 | |
Yeah. So it give me a good balance there would be good. So those are some arguments I would I would leave you in favor of keeping | 00:05:50 | |
it as is. The R18 is still a pretty high it's a medium density. It's just. | 00:05:56 | |
Barely medium density from from high density, it's and you know, 600 square, 66000 foot square foot a lot is somewhere between the | 00:06:03 | |
7th and an eighth of an acre. It's just just tiny. And I mean they'll, they'll, they won't have much lawn to mow if they build a | 00:06:10 | |
house on that, you know, so. | 00:06:17 | |
It really is pretty high density already and I think that we need more of that kind of product as well in our city. | 00:06:25 | |
So those are my comments. Thank you. Thank you, David. | 00:06:32 | |
Planning Commission and City Council on approval on whatever happens with their plan. | 00:07:05 | |
But nothing is really public right now. They have not submitted any application or anything like that as of right now. OK. And the | 00:07:11 | |
way I remember it is, well, I remember the same way David is the. | 00:07:16 | |
Where I used to keep the maps, remember they came to this map on my phone, yeah. | 00:07:51 | |
So 2017 maps and it was very clear that that was yeah. And like, is it that very well could be there. Could we have that shared? | 00:07:56 | |
If you have that, Bryce, could you share that out? I'd love to see the original. And then we'll make sure when we when we have | 00:08:01 | |
this discussion and Planning Commission that we can show you kind of their original plan. Like this is what was approved in 2017. | 00:08:06 | |
This is what they're wanting to change to just to make sure you're comparing apples to apples. And that's that's if or when it | 00:08:12 | |
comes and also if there's. | 00:08:17 | |
I would love to know like where we are on our density requirements to know what sort of leverage we have to your point, David, | 00:08:23 | |
like where can we? | 00:08:27 | |
And we'll demand that you give us a vote. | 00:09:00 | |
We'll make sure you have a full analysis on the staff side that you can make a full determination on your recommendation to the | 00:09:04 | |
City Council. And one more point really quick, but we haven't left that comment period yet. So one more. And as the cemetery is | 00:09:11 | |
offering, as I understand there's two acres he's offering. I was looking at at the homesteads. | 00:09:18 | |
All the homesteads boundaries and it's it would have to be careful to make sure that 2 acres aligns with some Parkland or | 00:09:27 | |
something on the. | 00:09:32 | |
In the Hallway Farms development area so that we actually could make a cemetery out of it because. | 00:09:37 | |
That you deem necessary if they do want to approve it. So cool. | 00:10:11 | |
Cool. Thanks, David. While I won't be on the Planning Commission when that happens, I'll I'll be here for sure. | 00:10:17 | |
Thanks, David. | 00:10:25 | |
Moving to consent items. Approval for the November 6th, 2024 Planning Commission meeting minutes. | 00:10:28 | |
Do I have a motion on that? | 00:10:35 | |
I motion. | 00:10:38 | |
2nd. | 00:10:40 | |
All in favor, aye. Moving to business item 4.2, should we put off the calendar until? | 00:10:42 | |
We have more people. So we have people that are. Yeah. I mean, if I don't know if we need an official motion, but I think for | 00:10:49 | |
actually, sadly, both of these items, it would make a lot more sense. I mean, it would be helpful to have the calendar approved | 00:10:55 | |
before the new year, just so we know. And if you look at the staff report, there's no. | 00:11:01 | |
I don't think there's any dates taken off except for January 1st or the 2nd 1st. So does the, you know, the standard first and | 00:11:07 | |
third Wednesday of the month except for that first meeting in January which is a combined Planning Commission City Council | 00:11:12 | |
meeting. I. | 00:11:16 | |
I have a question on that actually. So I'm about to start a busier travel season for my job. Is it possible for me to do a zoom in | 00:11:22 | |
for these if I'm not in this? Yeah, we have been able to set up for electronic connection before. I'll have to talk with Pam on | 00:11:29 | |
how that works on if you're connected online, if that's if you can be like a sitting member or if you can't. But I'll, I'll talk | 00:11:35 | |
to her and figure that out. | 00:11:42 | |
I think we should be OK if you unless you want to maybe. | 00:11:49 | |
Do a modified calendar, just I don't know the legal process here. | 00:11:55 | |
On saying that, the first meeting will be held and the calendar can be determined on January 8th. | 00:11:59 | |
That would be the first meeting that we're proposing. And then from there, hopefully more members of the Commission are here and | 00:12:05 | |
you can vote on a full calendar at that meeting. Perfect. | 00:12:10 | |
I believe January 8th is actually a City Council meeting that we're doing an ombudsman training. It's a combined Planning | 00:12:15 | |
Commission City Council meeting. So we did include it on this calendar. But I'm saying if we just say this calendar can be | 00:12:21 | |
approved, will be reviewed and approved on January 8th at a Planning Commission meeting, I think that should be okay. That's fine. | 00:12:27 | |
When Sorry, no, go ahead, couple. | 00:12:35 | |
Business questions. Do we have nominations or appointees at the start of the new year for the Planning Commission yet? So we don't | 00:12:38 | |
have any as of right now. The mayor may choose to and the council may choose to do that on the 8th. Sometimes it does take them a | 00:12:46 | |
little bit longer to go through that process. I know that that they are aware that that Bryce is retiring. | 00:12:54 | |
And that we'll need a new Commission member. | 00:13:03 | |
OK, so. | 00:13:07 | |
What I would I'd like to make a motion that we adopt the calendar. | 00:13:08 | |
Just approving the meetings of the 8th and the 15th because I feel like some of these business items would be more appropriate on | 00:13:15 | |
the 15th when meeting as just us rather than also with the City Council setting. I don't really want to necessarily reign on their | 00:13:22 | |
parade with some of our day-to-day business stuff. I think that's more appropriate for the 15th. OK, so Nate has made a motion to | 00:13:29 | |
delay item 4.2 until the 15th meeting, but also approving. | 00:13:36 | |
The meetings for January 8th and January 15th. | 00:13:44 | |
Do I have a second? | 00:13:47 | |
Second, all in favor, aye. Then item 4.3, before we delay this, make a motion to delay this. I would like to put in that I think | 00:13:49 | |
that Nate would make a great Planning Commission chair. He's very level headed. I really appreciate having him on the Planning | 00:13:57 | |
Commission. And so while we're not picking that now, I just want it on the record. | 00:14:05 | |
Would make a great chair. It's nice I moved to have this pushed to another date. | 00:14:14 | |
All right. No, it's all good. Do you want to move it to the 15th also? | 00:14:23 | |
I think that would be a more appropriate time because that's when we'll have a more full body. | 00:14:30 | |
But I want to hear both of your opinions with that. | 00:14:35 | |
I think that would be I think that makes sense too. Yeah, I think so since it's just the three of us and and you're moving off, we | 00:14:38 | |
want to give other. | 00:14:42 | |
People an opportunity they want to. So do I have a second? | 00:14:47 | |
I'll second all in favor. Aye, all right, that's being moved. | 00:14:51 | |
And we'll move right into the work session for the 2024 zoning text amendment overall. | 00:14:56 | |
Cash, you got this or Anthony, this is going to be me, OK. | 00:15:01 | |
We're trying something new here, using iPad for a presentation so I can take notes. | 00:15:05 | |
So this is the last section it did look like if you look through the the notes here and also I need to note that I did not include | 00:15:40 | |
the presentation. | 00:15:43 | |
Because I got it finished at like 5:50 today, but I essentially the Word document that was with this staff report is everything in | 00:15:47 | |
that presentation. I just have it. | 00:15:54 | |
In the different it looks a little different. Anyways, I'll just go through these. | 00:16:00 | |
Sure, there is paper copies over there David, if you do want. | 00:16:08 | |
Yeah, if you want to look at that, that's the. | 00:16:14 | |
Paper copy so the slideshow I just condensed most of what you'll see in the paper copy just to make it a little bit easier to read | 00:16:16 | |
and I'll go through each section. Feel free to stop me at any time if you do have questions or you have other changes that you | 00:16:22 | |
see. But the first section 15 two, which is title, authority, purpose and declaration of intent and effective date, we just we | 00:16:28 | |
added title. So everywhere you'll see in green applications, building structures, applicability, minimum requirements, those were | 00:16:34 | |
all added and then we just. | 00:16:40 | |
Cleaned up some of the language that was we felt was confusing or archaic. A lot of this code was originally adopted with the very | 00:16:46 | |
first joining code in like 2014 or something like that, and a lot of it was just copy and pasted from other jurisdictions. So we | 00:16:52 | |
just wanted to clean it up as much as possible. | 00:16:58 | |
Umm. | 00:17:05 | |
Let's see. | 00:17:07 | |
I'll go on. | 00:17:11 | |
1506 land use authorities and officers. So this is one that probably there might be some more conversation to be had on it. Right | 00:17:12 | |
now, our code does require that we stagger the appointments of Planning Commission members so that not more than one renewal is | 00:17:20 | |
member terms are to be staggered so that no more than one term shall expire each year. When you have 8 Commission members, that's | 00:17:27 | |
technically impossible to accomplish. So we looked at other cities. I talked to Pam about this and she felt that 3. | 00:17:35 | |
An appropriate number. That's actually, we have a few right now, they're that way. So we just want to make sure we are meeting our | 00:17:42 | |
code. And so that's why we're suggesting to change it to three appointments instead of one term can expire at the end of each | 00:17:47 | |
year. | 00:17:51 | |
Do you have any comments on that? | 00:17:57 | |
OK, just before we keep going for the record. | 00:17:59 | |
The city attorney has reviewed none of this yet. So yeah, that'll be essentially the next step is once we've gotten all the | 00:18:04 | |
comments from you, we will send it to him and he'll make sure that we're meeting state code and all that, and then it'll be a | 00:18:10 | |
business item, which we'll vote on. Correct? Yep. This is just a work session just to talk and to make sure we have it where we | 00:18:15 | |
wanted since we asked you to do some things last time when you're bringing it back with the changes. Yeah. Thank you. | 00:18:20 | |
The next section is about the quorum. So quorum is having three members here. | 00:18:26 | |
And right now the wording in this makes it makes it seem like a vote requires the majority of the Planning Commission, which would | 00:18:32 | |
actually be four to five people because the Planning Commission is made-up of eight people. And so we just added language to say | 00:18:38 | |
sitting present members of the Planning Commission. And that way, you know, if there's three of you here, it just requires that | 00:18:44 | |
majority to to vote. | 00:18:50 | |
Commission organization. We included some. | 00:18:58 | |
No, it would. It would still have to be 3, wouldn't it? Let me. All actions of the Commission shall require the vote of a majority | 00:19:02 | |
of the total sitting present members of the Commission. So of the three of us here, two of them need to be OK with it. It's the | 00:19:08 | |
majority of who is there. I personally feel that it should be the majority of the total body, regardless who's president, | 00:19:14 | |
including the alternates. | 00:19:20 | |
So we could, do you want me to change it to that of the Commission, not including the alternate? Yeah. I don't want it to be two. | 00:19:26 | |
I want it to at least be 3. Everything OK? Yeah. | 00:19:30 | |
We could say with a minimum, we could say of a minimum that makes sense majority of. | 00:19:35 | |
Yeah, whatever the way to word it. | 00:19:42 | |
However, I would like to hear what the. | 00:19:44 | |
Argument for this would be. | 00:19:47 | |
Because it seemed right away we're all like, so was there a reason? Yeah. And that would be technically tonight if we had a site | 00:19:48 | |
plan before you, you could not vote to approve it with, even though you had the three of us. You have a quorum here. And if we had | 00:19:54 | |
a minimum thing, you need to have four people voting. | 00:19:59 | |
OK, which is fine. I don't think we've ever had an issue Where so do you think just a minimum of three? Yeah. So even if we have | 00:20:06 | |
stuff come forward, I don't think that there are issues and if there are, if they are controversial enough that somebody's voting | 00:20:12 | |
no, then I think that we should have more. | 00:20:17 | |
OK. | 00:20:24 | |
Sorry, can you speak into the mic there? You OK? Sure, thanks. So point of there as long as you do that for everyone in the. | 00:20:27 | |
So you're saying that we have? | 00:20:35 | |
You'd have to have four or five to make a majority, but there are 5 sitting council members at anyone time, right? Commission | 00:20:37 | |
members at one time. We have alternates, so the majority of the five. | 00:20:43 | |
So I guess I'll work on this language. So that does a vote requires at least three people and that three people have to be an | 00:20:50 | |
affirmative. So in this case, if site plan was here tonight, we wouldn't have to postpone that because we don't, we do have a | 00:20:55 | |
quorum, but we don't have a majority of the total Commission, which is 8 people. | 00:21:00 | |
And so we would still allow that vote to take place, but it'd have to be a unanimous vote among the three sitting members, even | 00:21:07 | |
even if one of the people up here was an alternate. So the way I the way I see it, and we'll need to talk to Jamie about legality | 00:21:12 | |
of it, if there were two sitting members and an alternate up here and it was, you know, a mess among the three, the alternate | 00:21:17 | |
would be, at that time, a sitting member. Yeah. When an alternate is sitting up here, they are considered a member of the Planning | 00:21:22 | |
Commission. | 00:21:28 | |
So maybe just to say 3 a minimum of three. | 00:21:34 | |
OK. | 00:21:38 | |
But I'll let you figure that out, OK? Yeah, I'll work on that language and bring it back. I think before bringing it back, that is | 00:21:41 | |
one worth sharing with the city attorney because we need to know what applicant rights there are and that we aren't being overly | 00:21:45 | |
burdensome with some of our rules. Yeah. | 00:21:50 | |
I mean, even if the City Council has only three City Council members and a City Council meeting, it has to be unanimous when they | 00:21:56 | |
pass things. Yeah, yeah. So we'll try to just make it equal to what the city council's minimums are. | 00:22:02 | |
OK, Commission organization. This just allows for the Commission to elect a chair pro temp in case the chair and vice chair are | 00:22:08 | |
gone. Right now, there's really no language that outlines the process for that, so we just wanted to include that. | 00:22:16 | |
Vineyard, the development. | 00:22:25 | |
Let's see. Oh, the DRC, we're finally getting this in here through presses. I was just gonna ask, probably over a year overdue for | 00:22:27 | |
right now, but the DRC membership right now essentially allows everybody to have a designee except for the Planning Commission | 00:22:34 | |
chair. And we are now adding that language in so the planning cushion chair can have a designate. | 00:22:40 | |
This next one, super simple, just an establishment of districts. This just gives a brief summary of what every district is. The | 00:22:50 | |
RMU, the FOI, the Archie, the GRMU was missing the Geneva Rd. mixed-use, so we just included that. This is the definition straight | 00:22:57 | |
from the DRAMU code language. No changes or anything like that to it. | 00:23:03 | |
I did have a quick question on the zoning map. This was an issue that was brought up when the homes Holdaway Farms came and the | 00:23:10 | |
map has different coloring for different zoning. | 00:23:16 | |
Do we want to define the zoning for future developments because there's still zoning on the map that is low density that. | 00:23:22 | |
So you're saying like this density equals this many units per acre? Yeah. | 00:23:33 | |
I can talk to, I know exactly what you're talking about where people were saying this is high density when it's other people are | 00:23:39 | |
saying this is actually low density. And then it's like we called it low medium density because we don't have any definitions. So | 00:23:45 | |
it was zoned as low density. And the developer came in with a plan that eventually got approved by the City Council but denied by | 00:23:51 | |
the Planning Commission that had a greater density than all of our medium density in the city. And they said that it was low | 00:23:57 | |
density because of some. | 00:24:02 | |
Yeah, yeah, some arbitrary, they thought that and we didn't have a way to like have teeth in that and that was super annoying with | 00:24:09 | |
that. OK, yeah, I can include that in the definitions of for each zone kind of what. And I do remember having this conversation | 00:24:15 | |
with Morgan when this whole thing came about and I I do remember him pushing back for some reason. I don't remember what that is, | 00:24:21 | |
but I'll, I'll try to figure that out and bring that. | 00:24:28 | |
One way or another, back to you guys, OK? | 00:24:35 | |
The OK, yeah, this is the the zoning map we just talked about like uncertainty, uncertainty regarding boundaries of various zones. | 00:24:40 | |
So if you look at the zoning map, it just kind of has a line going down different areas. And generally that's that's a long lot | 00:24:46 | |
lines, but there are a few like for example, we're doing a site plan right now for the LDS Church along Geneva Rd. where they have | 00:24:52 | |
one lot that is split into two different zones. And so this language here just. | 00:24:58 | |
Helps us simplify exactly how we determine which zone to rule that property as. | 00:25:05 | |
And we did have that language in there before, if you'll notice on the paper copy everything in red and stricken out is what was | 00:25:12 | |
in there. We just tried to make that language a little bit easier to understand. | 00:25:17 | |
The next one, this is probably a little bit more complicated, the district E table. I tried to provide a brief summary up at the | 00:25:26 | |
top of everything we did, but if you looked at our previous, our current district use table, it's pretty ugly. It's really hard to | 00:25:32 | |
find anything. And so actually Madison spent countless hours redrawing a new table and splitting it up. So now we'll have a | 00:25:39 | |
residential category, a commercial category, and. | 00:25:46 | |
A public. | 00:25:53 | |
I only included those two in the paper copy actually, but we just split it up rather than having one long table. It just makes it | 00:25:55 | |
easier to read. And then here are a few changes that we are making to it or suggesting that we make to it, changing the short term | 00:26:01 | |
rental from not permitted to permitted. As we've discussed in the past about short term rentals, I think the first one of these | 00:26:08 | |
work sessions that we did kind of creating these standards on short term rentals and we'll come back to that once again. | 00:26:15 | |
But right now, it's just not permitted across the board right now. | 00:26:23 | |
We're changing to permitted, but with the subscript note saying it has to follow the standards that we are working on getting | 00:26:26 | |
approved and that's only in the single family home neighborhoods I believe and maybe the RMU. | 00:26:33 | |
Then we added check cashing and other credit services. I know there's been some talk online about the city creating a zone or | 00:26:42 | |
allowing this type of use, but I did just want to reiterate that if we don't outline specific standards for different uses, then | 00:26:49 | |
we have to essentially use like this. If, if a check cashing place wanted to come in, we would have to rule and just say this is a | 00:26:57 | |
financial institution and it is governed by that standard, which is pretty low by creating. | 00:27:04 | |
Or something like this, we can now put on some more requirements and I think we went over those in the past of kind of having | 00:27:11 | |
these distance requirements, total number of businesses we're allowing. So we're including that in the table. We are changing car | 00:27:17 | |
wash from permitted to conditional in the RMU. We've had a lot of drama about car washes in the past. We did want to just put in | 00:27:23 | |
some more kind of barriers there. And so that would actually, I believe they are only permitted now in the manufacturing or the FY | 00:27:29 | |
zone and the rest. | 00:27:35 | |
Conditional in any of our other like commercial zones Event Center, we change that from not permitted to conditional in the | 00:27:42 | |
regional commercial. | 00:27:46 | |
We added the mobile food court with it only being conditional in the RMU. We added retail tobacco specialty business. So once | 00:27:52 | |
again similar to that check cashing, we just we want to create standards for this. And so it's a conditional in the regional | 00:27:59 | |
commercial and then establish or tattoo establishment we included on here because that wasn't anywhere and that is permitted in in | 00:28:05 | |
most of our commercial zones, RMUGRMU, FM, UR, SHE and NC. | 00:28:12 | |
So with that, are there any? | 00:28:20 | |
Yeah, I have. I see no issues with the actual substance of the table and what we discussed. I feel like it's consistent. The only | 00:28:22 | |
suggestion I have with formatting of the table is that the zoning district uses heading is only at the beginning of the table and | 00:28:30 | |
when it's on multiple pages, sometimes I get lost. So that is a way we could format that when it's actually published. | 00:28:39 | |
That is a problem with technology, so. | 00:28:48 | |
To make a Long story short, we pay for Muna Scribe. I think it's mean scribe. I don't actually forgot the name of the Municote. | 00:28:51 | |
Thank you. Municode and they have two different softwares. We use this one as a self-publishing software and the tables that we're | 00:28:58 | |
allowed to use are very restrictive. One method that we could do is every, I don't know, every five rows. We could just include | 00:29:05 | |
the zoning so that it would be there. So it's easy to follow so. | 00:29:12 | |
But there was nobody out with the notes. Was it uploaded? | 00:29:20 | |
As a Word document, I believe in the future is just uploaded as a PDF that would resolve that issue. | 00:29:25 | |
You can correct me if I'm wrong. So it's usually created in the software on the website itself. So you can't create it in Word and | 00:29:34 | |
just copy it inside. You can paste it as a picture and it won't be clear enough to work with. | 00:29:42 | |
The file December 18th PC notes. | 00:29:51 | |
Was created within the system, yes. | 00:29:55 | |
Yeah, we don't software, like I said, it has so many. It is great for the most part, but the table feature on it is the most | 00:29:59 | |
frustrating thing in the world. I think Madison probably recreated this table two or three times because of the issues it had. And | 00:30:06 | |
yeah, it was created in here and then I took screenshots of it and created the note document that you're looking at. Like I said, | 00:30:12 | |
the substance wise, I don't see an issue with it. I just want to make sure when it is published in the actual municipal code. | 00:30:19 | |
Then it's formatted in a friendly way, and if that means you need to have some ribbons throughout it to remind us what the heck | 00:30:27 | |
we're looking at. | 00:30:30 | |
Then maybe that's how we do it. I just ask that you please consider that. It's not. Yeah. So substance, just user friendliness. | 00:30:34 | |
So, yeah, I'll show you. So this is like I said, this is the updated table, what it looks like where we did split it. And that's | 00:30:40 | |
the reason we did split it. So now residential, it's a little easier to read. Let me show you the original. Yeah, just the zoning | 00:30:46 | |
district uses every seven. Yeah. Yeah. So every. | 00:30:53 | |
Yeah. So right now, like for example, if you wanted to find out motor vehicle fueling station and the RMU, you're then scrolling | 00:31:00 | |
up here and then you have to go down here. You moved a little to the left or right. | 00:31:04 | |
Yeah, yeah. So just add a ribbon every 10 or so. All right, I'll have Madison do that. Take her a few hours. Thanks. | 00:31:10 | |
OK, let me go back to this. | 00:31:19 | |
Maybe. | 00:31:27 | |
OK, Anything else with the district E table? | 00:31:30 | |
If not, I can continue. | 00:31:37 | |
You're good, OK. | 00:31:40 | |
01 other a few other things. This is not in the paper copies. These are the things I caught. | 00:31:44 | |
But that that's really up to to you guys on on what you think is the best route. | 00:32:17 | |
If they are putting in like permanent lighting. | 00:32:51 | |
So we should catch that at that stage. I get that some people still might do some work themselves and don't get a permit, but in | 00:32:54 | |
that stage we should catch it. And, and it's also another thing if if you do see it and it is causing concern, if you have a | 00:33:00 | |
bright light shining into your window, let us know and we'll do what we can. | 00:33:05 | |
And then the other thing is we simplified the garage detached garage language. It was just a really giant section of the the | 00:33:13 | |
district use table and we just changed it to I think permitted with a subscript saying review the code below just to make the | 00:33:19 | |
table look better. | 00:33:24 | |
OK, development agreements. | 00:33:32 | |
We mostly just simplified language here, as you'll see in the paper copy. Everything in red we're taking out green is all new. And | 00:33:35 | |
then the second section there says that every development agreement is supposed to be reviewed by the City Council every year. | 00:33:42 | |
Once again, I don't think that. | 00:33:51 | |
Happens often enough and so we added some language that says the council or staff shall review a development agreement and then if | 00:33:54 | |
staff does it that they need to provide a report to the City Council on if they are meeting those obligations from the development | 00:33:59 | |
agreement. So for example, right now with Holdaway Fields starting to develop a lot, Anthony's been going through their | 00:34:05 | |
development agreement and saying, you know, when are we going to get our 400 S Rd. connection? Are we making sure that they're up | 00:34:11 | |
to date on their landscaping? | 00:34:16 | |
And all that. And so this just allows staff to do that report to the City Council just because that's a lot more likely to get | 00:34:22 | |
done than just the council reviewing every development agreement. I don't know what your thoughts are on that. That makes sense. | 00:34:30 | |
Yeah, in the past, whenever I see stuff like this municipal code, you can usually tie that to. | 00:34:39 | |
Years ago, a certain development agreement got approved that members of the council said I really don't want to approve this. And | 00:34:45 | |
they said, well, what have we reviewed every year? OK, then I'll prove it. That's usually where this is coming from. And if this | 00:34:51 | |
was inherited from another community, cool. I'm interested to see the origin of this particular one for Vineyard. | 00:34:57 | |
Provo had a weird one or if this was something from a few years ago that about a development agreement that we're concerned about, | 00:35:05 | |
but I think it totally makes sense. | 00:35:11 | |
Staff do it and then write up a summary every 12 months that can be on consent calendar unless there's something worth raising. | 00:35:17 | |
You wonder the last time the development agreement for the homesteads was reviewed? Great question. Well, we're about to go in a | 00:35:22 | |
few months ago. 20 years ago. | 00:35:28 | |
I'm curious so and and that would be good if it is in here, it would help create a practice in our department because right now if | 00:35:35 | |
it's up to the council to review it then. | 00:35:39 | |
You know, it's just not going to happen, but right now if we do say or staff that would then kind of create the mandate for us to | 00:35:44 | |
do it and it would be kind of put on a yearly thing for us to provide for the council. As far as single family housing, they're | 00:35:50 | |
the only ones, well, except for I guess holdaway fields now that are still building and they've still got quite a lot left. I | 00:35:55 | |
think it could be wise to review that. | 00:36:01 | |
Yeah, maybe when we're reviewing this pod two, we could look back at the whole development agreement as well, just to make sure | 00:36:08 | |
amenities and promises. | 00:36:12 | |
Cool. OK, um. | 00:36:18 | |
OK. Yeah, permitted uses this essentially. It just was a little confusing at the beginning because it sounds like that the plan or | 00:36:23 | |
the city planner gets to review and render a final decision for every permitted use application that comes into the city. And I | 00:36:31 | |
just wanted to create some language to differentiate what the Planning Commission approves versus what the city planner approves. | 00:36:38 | |
So for example, like a building or if a business wants to move into an already existing structure, that is something the planning. | 00:36:45 | |
Can review, we say, oh, this is a permitted use, they're allowed to move into here. But if it's a site plan, a commercial site | 00:36:53 | |
plan, we want the Planning Commission to look at it. Same thing single family homes planning or the planner does approve that, not | 00:36:58 | |
the Planning Commission. So we just wanted to create that language in there. And most of this is redundant in the site planning | 00:37:04 | |
section as well, just differentiating the the two. | 00:37:09 | |
Umm, then approval standards, we removed some redundant language. It was just, you know, essentially laid out everything that we | 00:37:16 | |
review, but it's also like every site plan needs to comply with the requirements of the zoning district. And then it includes all | 00:37:22 | |
these different things, like the just different standards, height setbacks, all that. But that's something that's just in the | 00:37:28 | |
zoning standard. So we felt that language was not necessary. | 00:37:34 | |
Conditional uses, this one, we did include a section in here saying the title report and survey of the subject property may be | 00:37:42 | |
required by the city planner. Right now it is just required. I don't know what your thoughts are on that. There's a lot of | 00:37:48 | |
benefits to having a title report, but we felt that there might be some cases where a conditional use is is report or conditional | 00:37:54 | |
use. | 00:37:59 | |
Permit is required and we filled title report might not prove to to be a benefit to to the Planning Commissioner staff. | 00:38:06 | |
And in that case, we could, you know, waive that requirement. We're fine keeping it as a requirement if you do want it. But for | 00:38:15 | |
example, if somebody wanted to do a home preschool, I believe they need a conditional use permit. And so that would be an example | 00:38:20 | |
of do we want to make them go through all this title work for this home preschool, you know, and that is something that the city | 00:38:26 | |
planner in this new language could wave. | 00:38:32 | |
I, I was with you until you gave that example because I went absolutely do a title report for that because is that person a renter | 00:38:40 | |
or the owner? And are we OK with the owner knowing that they're running a preschool out of the house they're renting and that's | 00:38:45 | |
something that's why you'd run the time. We do check that in the business license application. So we do kind of have those | 00:38:51 | |
measures in place. But like I said, it's, it's up to you guys if, if you do or if we do want to create kind of a standard of when | 00:38:56 | |
we would waive that requirement. | 00:39:02 | |
Anytime I see the word may, I'm followed up with a cool Under what circumstances? | 00:39:10 | |
That's just kind of my general. | 00:39:15 | |
Roll with most of these because when it says maybe if the city planner feels like it. Obviously casual, but that's the risk. You | 00:39:18 | |
guys are awesome city planners, but what about 5 years from now, 10 years from now, 20 years from now? | 00:39:24 | |
I want to make sure we're getting people accountable. Yeah, no, I'm totally agree. So yeah, I'll look into that. And if I do find | 00:39:31 | |
special circumstances where I do think that would be adequate, then I'll include them. If not, I'll just remove that. | 00:39:37 | |
But that's only one opinion. | 00:39:44 | |
You have at least double that over here. Either that or like dig into specifics of these are the ones that we wouldn't OK. | 00:39:46 | |
Are there any other ones besides like? | 00:39:59 | |
Preschool. Are there any other examples of? | 00:40:01 | |
So I mean, for example, right now we are we're reviewing like a site plan application for a tire shop that's not near any kind of | 00:40:05 | |
residential. | 00:40:08 | |
That is a conditional use. So that would require higher report and we will be, I guess this could be a good example. We are | 00:40:14 | |
already getting a title report because they have to do a plat. So now we're gonna make them possibly do another title report for | 00:40:20 | |
this business. So that might be in a circumstance where it's like we don't really need to see this again, but this would be | 00:40:26 | |
another good one that would be good to run through. Our attorney is he's the one who generally touches a lot of things. | 00:40:32 | |
If we can, if they've submitted a title report in the beginning, is that not something we can just that we have on record or that | 00:40:38 | |
they would? | 00:40:41 | |
Well, the art requirements, title reports, I believe Anthony yeah, they're only valid for 30 days. And so say for example, they do | 00:40:44 | |
this platting, we get it approved and then 31 days later they go through a site plan with conditional use. We now have an expired. | 00:40:52 | |
Got it, Tyler report. Where do we want to put that burden back onto them? | 00:41:00 | |
Only get that and that is obnoxious so yeah, I appreciate doing something to be more so yeah we'll dig into this to answer | 00:41:06 | |
language to make it not duplicative work but if it. | 00:41:11 | |
Hasn't been yeah, existing, right. If it hasn't happened before, I'm with me. I'd like it to happen. Some language there. The | 00:41:15 | |
survey also. Yeah, I love that it's a may there because very few conditional use permits really need an all to serve it. | 00:41:25 | |
I would love to avoid that because that's also just a. | 00:41:34 | |
It's a pretty expensive cost for the developer that nine times out of 10, you go, OK, cool, yeah. And then put away. And so only | 00:41:38 | |
ask for things if we feel like it's a substitute, if it would help. Yeah, change a decision, Right. And maybe that's how we word | 00:41:43 | |
it with where is May. | 00:41:49 | |
May be required by the city planner if it is of substance to the decision at hand, or even just saying by the city planner at his | 00:41:55 | |
discretion. | 00:42:00 | |
OK. Yeah, we'll work on languages and like I said, I think it would be another good one to run by our legal to make sure. Yeah. | 00:42:05 | |
And the same would apply for the section right underneath it when talking about traffic impact analysis. Yeah, we talked at length | 00:42:11 | |
about that and I wanna make sure if there's a may there, we have conditions on when. | 00:42:17 | |
Yeah. And and this one, it was just the language in red was super confusing. If required by the Commission, DRC engineer, traffic | 00:42:24 | |
impact analysis will be required. So we just rephrased it essentially saying it may be required if requested by the Planning | 00:42:32 | |
Commission, DRC or city engineer. So any one of our bodies could request it. And in that case it is now required document. | 00:42:40 | |
Instead of saying it may be required, say oh will be required. Will be required if requested. | 00:42:49 | |
OK, good catch. | 00:42:56 | |
Change my. | 00:42:58 | |
All right. | 00:43:02 | |
General property development standards removed language about flag lots. We don't have any standards in our city 4 flag lots, and | 00:43:05 | |
so this section right now is talking about driveway or lot frontage requirements and where we don't have any flag lots and we | 00:43:12 | |
don't have flag flag standards. It felt unnecessary to include this language unless we wanted to create a section specifically | 00:43:18 | |
talking about flag lots and how we want to. | 00:43:24 | |
You know, examine those. | 00:43:32 | |
Or what requirements we want to put onto those? Is there any possibility that there could be a flag lot? I I mean, I there's | 00:43:34 | |
always a yeah, always a possibility that something could happen like that. | 00:43:39 | |
But I think, and Rachel is the one who did this section, so she has a little bit more insight on why she wanted to remove that. | 00:43:45 | |
But I think it it just comes down to we need to create the section on flag lots that have these standards in place rather than | 00:43:51 | |
just say right now this is saying we don't require driveway frontage requirements for flag lots. Like let's create the standard | 00:43:56 | |
rather than just kind of. | 00:44:02 | |
Ignore it. Yeah, OK, yeah. | 00:44:08 | |
The next one, again it's talking about front yard parking prohibited and it says that no vehicle parking shall be permitted in any | 00:44:11 | |
required front yard setback area except on driveways located in residential loans that directly access a garage or carport. We | 00:44:17 | |
felt that that. | 00:44:23 | |
We already do have a requirement of where parking can be located in a front yard. And we felt that like this language was first | 00:44:29 | |
redundant, but also could be restrictive of additional parking. If somebody wanted to put in a concrete pad that didn't access a | 00:44:34 | |
carport or driveway, but they wanted to have something just as you know, if they have an Adu or something like that. So we wanted | 00:44:40 | |
to remove that language. | 00:44:45 | |
Clearview triangle, this one we've been having a lot of hard times with lately because of the graphic that we include in the | 00:44:52 | |
zoning code is very confusing on where we actually measure. So essentially the Clearview triangle is a 12 foot line measured from | 00:44:58 | |
the driveway to the street and then from the driveway entrance to either side. And it creates this triangle, a view protection | 00:45:03 | |
triangle that we don't want to see any fences, any permanent structures, anything like that in that area. But the way that the | 00:45:09 | |
code is written right now. | 00:45:14 | |
Makes it from the curb line and essentially by the time you get to the curb line to the driveway, you're already at like 10 feet | 00:45:21 | |
or something like that. And so it makes it useless. And so we changed how we measure that, how we measure the. | 00:45:26 | |
The Clearview triangle and then we remove the graphic. When we come back for approval we will probably have an updated graphic to | 00:45:33 | |
show this just because they are helpful, but in this case it did hurt us. | 00:45:38 | |
So accessory dwelling units, this one might be a little bit more of a duty to get through. So in our general plan, we actually do | 00:45:47 | |
have this in here in our moderate income housing section that we will approve mobile housing types intended for long term | 00:45:54 | |
placement that adhere to a permanent foundation. That's in our general plan. It's also in our moderate income housing report that | 00:46:01 | |
of things that we need to continually improve is Adu. | 00:46:08 | |
And so we felt that this was a good time to include it. | 00:46:15 | |
A question What constitutes as a mobile house? | 00:46:18 | |
Great question. Essentially you could get something like a pre manufactured home and put that on a permanent foundation, but it | 00:46:23 | |
would have to be fit within our detached accessory structure code. | 00:46:29 | |
So we're trying to figure out the best way to do this without people thinking we're just allowing like a trailer park to exist or | 00:46:37 | |
like a shipping container. People have done that and built like a house on a shipping container. So we don't allow containers | 00:46:43 | |
right now in the city. So that would prohibit that. But this mostly is speaking to like pre manufactured homes. I think that's | 00:46:49 | |
where. | 00:46:55 | |
I get hung up is the term mobile housing when I think you might mean modular prefab is exactly yeah, I just yeah, I use the word | 00:47:02 | |
mobile just because that was what is in our general plan. Let me pull that up Mobile would. | 00:47:11 | |
I think would contradict the rest of the statement where it's saying it's adhere to a permanent foundation, so then it's no longer | 00:47:21 | |
mobile. We don't want it to be mobile, so. | 00:47:26 | |
And I know that most trailers aren't early either. If you're saying like a trailer park, a mobile home, but I don't know, then we | 00:47:31 | |
can dig into more specifics on what it looks like. Is it really a modular home or is it a prefab 1? Because there's some really | 00:47:37 | |
fantastic prefabbed homes that would even match as an accessory dwelling unit. It's very different than doing a double wide. And | 00:47:44 | |
maybe this is where we could include some sort of definition that could help us. | 00:47:50 | |
I believe that we got this language straight from the state. So the state. | 00:47:57 | |
Going back to where you were asking about kind of where we're at with density in the state, essentially the state has this | 00:48:02 | |
moderate income housing report that we have to fill out every year that kind of talks about the state of the city and what we're | 00:48:07 | |
doing to encourage moderate income housing. And one of those sections that we have to that the city has chosen to report on is our | 00:48:13 | |
accessory dwelling units. And from there they kind of create a menu of different things that you can choose. And so this is | 00:48:18 | |
something that was. | 00:48:23 | |
Chosen by the the Planning Commission City Council, probably in 2022. | 00:48:29 | |
Is one of our strategies that we would adopt by the end of 2025 is to allow this mobile housing type? I can see if that language | 00:48:33 | |
did come straight from the state. My guess is it would be hard to change that if we want to qualify this under the modern income | 00:48:40 | |
housing if we did change it to be more restrictive than what the state is. But I can look into that specific when when the City | 00:48:47 | |
Council approved those things, did we not approve an extra 1? | 00:48:54 | |
We did, but we can no longer report on one of the goals. And I forget which one it is, but this year they essentially they gave us | 00:49:02 | |
the approval on the moderate income housing and said starting this year you can no longer report on this, this goal. | 00:49:09 | |
And it's not a fun report today. So I wonder how we can get the definition of, yeah, exactly what mobile housing is that is | 00:49:17 | |
intended for long term placement that adhere to. Yeah. And it's also who's determining what that is. There's a lot of kind of Gray | 00:49:24 | |
area in there, I think. | 00:49:30 | |
One of the. | 00:49:38 | |
Low hanging fruit to do it is out of Section 3 of Design standards. | 00:49:39 | |
To say absolutely, we allow mobile housing types as long as it complies to all our types. That's a good idea. And the set design | 00:49:44 | |
standards are the roof needs to match the primary building, the siding needs to match the primary building. So if it's a mobile, | 00:49:50 | |
it looks like a prefab and that's how you do it. Yeah, that's a great idea. I'll include that in there. | 00:49:56 | |
Then license denial revocation, we included this that if somebody does have an Adu license, but they do have zoning violations, | 00:50:06 | |
this is a method that we can use to. | 00:50:11 | |
Help them come into compliance. This would be helpful. For example, if they do have, if they're operating their home as a duplex | 00:50:19 | |
where they're renting out the top and basement, but they have an active Adu license, we can now revoke it. | 00:50:24 | |
We just wanted to have that language in there to back this up. | 00:50:31 | |
Has a lot of may. So again, just the talk with the attorney. Yeah, Yeah, OK. | 00:50:37 | |
When I see I I was involved in code enforcement once where? | 00:50:43 | |
This was in another city in another state so I'm OK sharing it where we were getting as a code enforcement officer. Lots of push | 00:50:47 | |
from. | 00:50:52 | |
A certain person of high standing in our community who didn't like their neighbor. | 00:50:58 | |
And so they said hit him with everything and we have words like may. So it means, yeah, you can get him with that. I want to be | 00:51:02 | |
fair and I want to be good. And so that's the reason I yeah, we'll we'll work on that to kind of create kind of a standard on how | 00:51:09 | |
we will determine if it will be maybe do a control fine for the word what may through all of our with the nodes should and may. I | 00:51:15 | |
think maybe we should just. | 00:51:22 | |
Shall should. Yeah, well. | 00:51:28 | |
OK. I think this is maybe the last section is home occupations. And I think we actually did review some of this with you already | 00:51:30 | |
before, but we've made quite a bit updates with this with Kelly, our business licensing person. And here we just we broke off some | 00:51:38 | |
of the permitted and not permitted language. It was very confusing on it was like on not permitted uses, it was like medical | 00:51:45 | |
practitioners and veterinarian services and it's like are they related? Is it like vet medical uses? | 00:51:53 | |
And they want to read them hobby breeding. Yeah, yeah, we, we will allow that. They will have to, you know, go get a license And | 00:52:30 | |
there are standards that they do have to follow, but we would not allow commercial anyways. The ones that we are not permitting | 00:52:36 | |
would be medical practitioner, medical spa, veterinarian services, animal boarding, pet daycare, vehicle sales that are that | 00:52:42 | |
include vehicle services that include but not limited to repair, painting, maintenance sales. Same thing with recreational | 00:52:48 | |
vehicles and then major appliance. | 00:52:54 | |
You have any questions on that? | 00:53:01 | |
Or anything you want to include, anything you want to take off. We had a meeting a while back about medical practitioner about if | 00:53:03 | |
somebody does massages or if they do certain not. Is that defined? Yeah, we are creating the definition of that to be very | 00:53:09 | |
specific that a medical practitioner, somebody who's a licensed individual giving medical, whether it's a procedure or advice. We | 00:53:15 | |
actually do allow like like there's a lot of doctors with telehealth, we do allow them to do that because they're not actually | 00:53:20 | |
practicing. | 00:53:26 | |
They're not seeing patients, yeah, yeah. But somebody who does like Botox, this would be very specific that that is a medical | 00:53:32 | |
practice as you are injecting somebody with something and you have to be licensed. And so that is now very specific in here on | 00:53:37 | |
what that is. | 00:53:43 | |
I have a question and we forgive me if we did talk about this last time, but if we're, how are we enforcing this? So it's all | 00:53:49 | |
through the license. So if you had a business that you were a vet and you wanted to open a little vet shop in your house, you'd | 00:53:55 | |
apply for business and we'd deny it. If you did anyways, then just through code enforcement and in some instances we could involve | 00:54:01 | |
the the. | 00:54:08 | |
Sheriff's Office, if somebody does continue operating business that we deem it to be unsafe. | 00:54:15 | |
Under the vehicle services, would this include since it has painting, maintenance or sales repair? I know of someone that does | 00:54:20 | |
vehicle wrapping. Does that include that? So because we do say vehicle services that include but not limited to, we probably would | 00:54:26 | |
include vehicle wrapping. I would include that in a similar fashion as painting as you're kind of changing the exterior of the | 00:54:32 | |
vehicle. It causes a lot of issues because it's in a neighborhood that doesn't have much. I think I know exactly where you're | 00:54:38 | |
talking about. | 00:54:44 | |
All the parking so I I can include that specific language to say wrapping is not permitted. Yeah, I think it'd be helpful cuz I | 00:54:50 | |
think that would be good to. | 00:54:55 | |
Pursue that. | 00:55:01 | |
It's, I think it's, this is any sort of vehicle services are going to be very disruptive within. I think that is resolved with the | 00:55:03 | |
current language with #2 where home occupations are limited to only one customer at a time and by appointment only. Yeah. And they | 00:55:10 | |
can't. That's where a code enforcement needs to nail them. And that's where if we don't get a complaint, we don't know to go after | 00:55:18 | |
it. And even if we do, they could provide. And you know, if somebody is doing a vehicle wrapping business, they could. | 00:55:25 | |
Yeah, I have a customer comes in, they make an appointment, they drop off their car and they leave. But then they have 10 cars | 00:55:33 | |
parked because they had 10 clients that showed up at one time, but at different times. Then on the next one where it says | 00:55:38 | |
conditions that apply to all home occupation types and you talk about utilities. | 00:55:43 | |
Yeah, get rid of the word utilities because then it says the home occupations shall not have demand on municipal services, | 00:55:49 | |
including the public right of way. | 00:55:53 | |
If you just Scroll down to the end there, we're talking mainly just like they're not using electricity and gas, but. | 00:56:00 | |
I mean the public right of ways, municipal service as well. | 00:56:08 | |
Yeah. And we've talked about in for our business licenses, there are a lot of things that people can't do if. | 00:56:11 | |
But there are a lot of things we left that we specifically left the door open that people can do a lot of things. Yeah, Because | 00:56:20 | |
people should be able to do anything they want as long as they're not disturbing people around them, right. If nobody knows that | 00:56:27 | |
you drove a car into your garage and you're wrapping it in your garage, by all means, by all means do that. Or if somebody like, I | 00:56:35 | |
know people repair old cars and eventually sell old cars and stuff like that. If, if they're not having a disturbance, then it. | 00:56:42 | |
I think that it should be permitted and we're pretty strict with what people aren't allowed to do in those situations. From for | 00:56:50 | |
cars specifically, we talked about how they can't have any kind of equipment outside. They have to have a garage door closed. They | 00:56:59 | |
can't have cars or engines or anything like that outside of of the garage. Yeah, it can't be visible at all. So. | 00:57:08 | |
So are you just kind of saying that we already have kind of the tools to work through these problems? | 00:57:18 | |
So do you think we should remove a lot of this like the vehicle? Because I do see actually your point, if somebody did, they had a | 00:57:23 | |
hobby of fixing up old cars and selling them, would that be a business though? It could be. And at that point, yeah. Are they | 00:57:29 | |
actually going out and getting a license and doing that? | 00:57:35 | |
Yeah. So I don't think that it's necessary, but because we already have the code to enforce these things, I don't think we need | 00:57:40 | |
to. Yeah, we're we're more judging it based off of the impact rather than the use. | 00:57:46 | |
I think impact is the keyword there. And so if we are making any amendments, it's really just that section about utilities where | 00:57:53 | |
it says home occupations do not have a demand beyond what's typical in residential uses. You can say customer visits or whatever. | 00:58:01 | |
Well we even have a traditional house has. | 00:58:09 | |
Stuff there is very specific. People cannot park on the street. They have to have a parking spot off. They can only have this many | 00:58:18 | |
people that come every day. | 00:58:23 | |
Like it's very specific. Yeah. I think the hard thing is everybody can agree to that. But then when it comes down to it and you | 00:58:28 | |
have a vehicle wrapping business that's really successful, you're not gonna turn down a client for, but you get a right. But yeah, | 00:58:32 | |
you're right. It is once we get the complaint that we can do something about it. We don't turn people down. But you say, awesome, | 00:58:37 | |
come on, Thursday. | 00:58:42 | |
OK, let me make a note of that. | 00:58:48 | |
Because yeah, I don't want to. I don't want to restrict people from having at home businesses because I have. | 00:58:52 | |
Oh yeah, I forgot to include we're going to remove anything associated with the skateboards as not permitted. It was way | 00:58:59 | |
restrictive before. | 00:59:04 | |
OK. Yeah, I'll work on changing that up just so it kind of points more towards. | 00:59:11 | |
Yeah, exactly What you're talking about is something that says. Please see. Yeah. | 00:59:15 | |
OK. We, another thing we wanted to include is something about aggregate impact. So if somebody had multiple home occupations which | 00:59:21 | |
we don't want to deny them from, but we want to make sure that their impact is equal to a total of 1, which I think makes pretty | 00:59:27 | |
common sense there. Another one was nonprofit organizations. If they are a non profit organization with impact, they have to | 00:59:33 | |
follow the standards here. | 00:59:38 | |
And then we're including a section saying that the city can require or, yeah, may require inspections to determine compliance. | 00:59:47 | |
This is mostly if somebody does say, hey, I want to do this as my home occupation and we're a little iffy on if that meets our | 00:59:54 | |
standards, we can request to come to a brief inspection and then a license may be revoked upon any violation of the requirements | 01:00:01 | |
or conditions. I think pretty simple there. | 01:00:08 | |
Once again, the horde may we do want to include the hard thing is, you know, let's say you know, Bryce is he has a simple code | 01:00:17 | |
violation of I don't know, you have some weeds in your yard. Are we then going to go remove your business license for that code | 01:00:24 | |
violation? I don't know if that's fair. If the planning director despises price enough that that's honestly, I joke, but that's | 01:00:31 | |
what I'm trying to I'll look into the language to see if there's something we can do to. | 01:00:37 | |
Rework it so we can have this, yeah? | 01:00:46 | |
A certain amount of warnings or something, Yeah. | 01:00:49 | |
And then yeah, the very last thing is the utilities, the home occupation shell not have demand of municipal or utility services or | 01:00:55 | |
community facilities in excess of those usually in customary provided for residential uses. | 01:01:02 | |
I'm on the wrong slideshow here, and I'll include that where it says including the right of way to show that people cannot use the | 01:01:09 | |
street for their business, as you mentioned. But we just felt that that was important to include. And then business management, I | 01:01:15 | |
think we talked to you guys about this at the very first work session where we had this idea that like if people wanted to, it was | 01:01:21 | |
like once a year they could hold an event where they had more than one customer come to their house. And the idea was like, I | 01:01:27 | |
don't know, a Pampered Chef. | 01:01:33 | |
Or something like that. But then we determined that's going to be way too hard for staff to ever enforce. And then if that becomes | 01:01:39 | |
a problem, we'll just use code enforcement. Yes. And that's when it goes back to what's typical for a neighborhood. People have | 01:01:45 | |
parties. If it becomes every Tuesday and Thursday, then that's not typical. But now and then, yeah. So that's exactly why I | 01:01:52 | |
removed it. We'll just use code enforcement on areas where it becomes a problem. | 01:01:59 | |
So I think that is everything I had. So are there any sections or anything like that you have comments on? But I thank you guys | 01:02:07 | |
for going through all this with us. It's been a long few months of reviewing the code and hopefully sometime maybe early February, | 01:02:14 | |
we'll have this kind of all finalized and ready for you to get kind of any final feedback before it goes to to City Council. | 01:02:22 | |
Cool. David, do you have anything that you that we maybe missed or? | 01:02:31 | |
Cool. | 01:02:37 | |
All right. Thank you so much, Cash. I know this stuff is kind of mind numbing, but you guys are doing a good job. | 01:02:39 | |
Um, staff Commission and committee reports. Did you guys have anything? | 01:02:46 | |
I am so excited to say that stuff is moving forward with the skate park. Like it's cool that it's my last meeting and the whole | 01:02:52 | |
purpose of me being on the Planning Commission, I feel like, is to get this skate park happening. So I'm excited that there's | 01:03:01 | |
actually stuff that's happening. There will be Flyers going out there with a survey that you can take and a link to donate. | 01:03:10 | |
We've already received a donation, right? | 01:03:21 | |
We've received a donation where we're in talks with some businesses for donations and things are looking really positive, so be on | 01:03:23 | |
the lookout for that. It's exciting. | 01:03:29 | |
I think it'll be great for our many, many, many children and youth that live in Vineyard. | 01:03:37 | |
Yeah, that's all I had. Staff. Did you guys have anything? | 01:03:44 | |
I don't think so. We I can give a brief update on the City Hall project. So we did have that RFP go out today is actually the | 01:03:48 | |
final day for any proposals to be submitted. And so staff will be reviewing that over the next few weeks and then it'll go to City | 01:03:54 | |
Council to approve on an architecture firm to to start the design for the City Hall project. So that'll be early next year that | 01:04:00 | |
that that take place. OK. | 01:04:06 | |
Cool, if that's everything. | 01:04:12 | |
Can we do a big public thank you for thank you for your service? Thanks. We could do a ground applause, but it would be very loud. | 01:04:16 | |
Thank you. | 01:04:26 | |
Thank you so much, Steph. It's been a great eight years. And I'll still be at me. Yeah, we'll still hear from you. And for the | 01:04:28 | |
first time in eight years, will you use the gavel? | 01:04:33 | |
All right, I'm going to use the gavel. I'm going to have it on video too. OK, meeting adjourned. | 01:04:41 | |
I. | 01:04:51 |

Welcome, David to the Vineyard Planning Commission meeting. | 00:00:17 | |
Today is December 18th, 2024. It is 6:02 PM and we'll get things started. Natalie Harbin is going to give us a pledge of a Pledge | 00:00:21 | |
of Allegiance and an invocation. All right, pledge first. All right, let's do it. | 00:00:29 | |
I pledge allegiance to flag the United States of America to the public, which it stands one nation under God, indivisible, with | 00:00:38 | |
liberty and justice for all. | 00:00:44 | |
Let's pray. | 00:00:52 | |
Father, we thank you for your goodness to us. We thank you for this evening and for every minute and hour that you give us. | 00:00:54 | |
We ask that this would be a productive time where we are thoughtful and mindful of our present and our future and the gift that it | 00:01:00 | |
is to us, and that we would be thoughtful as well and kind in our remarks and give us wisdom. And we ask all these things in Jesus | 00:01:06 | |
name, Amen. | 00:01:11 | |
You, Natalie. | 00:01:18 | |
All right, we'll move to public comments. David, you got anything for us? | 00:01:20 | |
Sure. | 00:01:28 | |
So David Larae, resident. | 00:01:30 | |
So I've, I've heard rumors that we're having discussions about the. | 00:01:33 | |
Pod two of the homesteads development, the city is having discussions with them and about they like to change the zoning for that | 00:01:41 | |
area from what it's currently is, which is our 1-8. | 00:01:47 | |
To something that would allow the more density. | 00:01:54 | |
I use like the comment that we have out there right now next to it in pod one. Which one is Pod 2 again? It's this the field | 00:01:58 | |
between the school and the first cul-de-sac. Yeah, just just South of school and it ends at the cul-de-sac, first cul-de-sac on | 00:02:04 | |
off of Holy Rd. on the east side of Holy Rd. Yeah. | 00:02:10 | |
So that's anyway. And so there is a. | 00:02:17 | |
And I was hearing about a list of all the wonderful things that the developer is going to give us, like they're going to give us a | 00:02:21 | |
10 foot wide trail, you know, down there. And so to connect, go long Hallway Rd. then connect over to the sports park and they're | 00:02:27 | |
going to give us no additional entrances onto Hallway road and a couple of things like that. And if I, as I looked, I went back | 00:02:34 | |
and got my maps from from 2017 when they were when they were, we talked about that last. | 00:02:41 | |
Here this meeting and they. | 00:02:48 | |
Those were already on the table and we already had those. He's not like he's giving us anything new for that. | 00:02:51 | |
So I just want to say that if by chance you all get to be involved in any discussions about that, would you please keep in mind | 00:02:57 | |
that that that what, that those aren't new offerings. He's just asking for something more, giving us the same things. | 00:03:04 | |
And so if he really, really wants to do that badly and the city really feels the necessity to make the higher density. | 00:03:12 | |
I would not be in favor of that personally, but that's what the case. Then please make sure you're getting something good from him | 00:03:19 | |
in return. | 00:03:23 | |
So that's that's number one, number two. | 00:03:28 | |
About the same same issue. | 00:03:31 | |
Some reasons to some reasons for considering not going to higher density there is that we've in the city we're doing a lot with | 00:03:34 | |
high density already. And the idea is the idea he's selling as understand it is that these make great starter, make better starter | 00:03:41 | |
homes. Right now a single family dwelling is is out of reach of most people starting out. | 00:03:47 | |
And I see that as a good point. However, if we do do that, then we'll. | 00:03:55 | |
We'll be making even more. | 00:04:02 | |
Vineyard will be more higher density everywhere else and we'll have more starter home and more people just starting out who will | 00:04:05 | |
financially not be as able to contribute in other ways to the city. You know, we ought, we're often compared to Cottonwood Heights | 00:04:11 | |
because we have similar sizes, but the difference there is that they have a lot more business. So they have a better tax base | 00:04:17 | |
there and also they have a also there are a lot more. | 00:04:23 | |
Because they're nowadays $1,000,000 homes. I mean any anything bigger than 1/3 of an acre with a big house is $1,000,000 anymore. | 00:04:30 | |
So they have a lot more of those and so they have a lot more people who are further along in the, in the, in their path through | 00:04:38 | |
life and, and probably better able to support things like the latest 5K run or the, or sponsoring part of the Boa Palooza and | 00:04:45 | |
things like that. And so we don't have a lot of that in our city. If you think about it. We have the lake fronts and we have the, | 00:04:52 | |
so the shore, sorry, the shores and the Hamptons. And then we have a sleepy Ridge and. | 00:04:59 | |
Maybe a few other houses scattered throughout, but not a real solid development of, of higher end homes. And so we really don't. | 00:05:07 | |
So if we end up catering to lots and lots and lots of starter homes, I mean, at one, at one hand, that's nice to give people a | 00:05:13 | |
product to move into, but the other hand, we're limiting our, our ability as a city to be able to fund ourselves. And, and you | 00:05:19 | |
know, because all those folks will be, they'll be more than payment property tax, but less overall. And so we, we, we, we need to | 00:05:25 | |
be. | 00:05:31 | |
That we're, besides growing our business base which we should be focusing on, we should also be making sure that as from a | 00:05:37 | |
residential standpoint that our property tax base doesn't get, you know, washed out or diluted. | 00:05:43 | |
Yeah. So it give me a good balance there would be good. So those are some arguments I would I would leave you in favor of keeping | 00:05:50 | |
it as is. The R18 is still a pretty high it's a medium density. It's just. | 00:05:56 | |
Barely medium density from from high density, it's and you know, 600 square, 66000 foot square foot a lot is somewhere between the | 00:06:03 | |
7th and an eighth of an acre. It's just just tiny. And I mean they'll, they'll, they won't have much lawn to mow if they build a | 00:06:10 | |
house on that, you know, so. | 00:06:17 | |
It really is pretty high density already and I think that we need more of that kind of product as well in our city. | 00:06:25 | |
So those are my comments. Thank you. Thank you, David. | 00:06:32 | |
Planning Commission and City Council on approval on whatever happens with their plan. | 00:07:05 | |
But nothing is really public right now. They have not submitted any application or anything like that as of right now. OK. And the | 00:07:11 | |
way I remember it is, well, I remember the same way David is the. | 00:07:16 | |
Where I used to keep the maps, remember they came to this map on my phone, yeah. | 00:07:51 | |
So 2017 maps and it was very clear that that was yeah. And like, is it that very well could be there. Could we have that shared? | 00:07:56 | |
If you have that, Bryce, could you share that out? I'd love to see the original. And then we'll make sure when we when we have | 00:08:01 | |
this discussion and Planning Commission that we can show you kind of their original plan. Like this is what was approved in 2017. | 00:08:06 | |
This is what they're wanting to change to just to make sure you're comparing apples to apples. And that's that's if or when it | 00:08:12 | |
comes and also if there's. | 00:08:17 | |
I would love to know like where we are on our density requirements to know what sort of leverage we have to your point, David, | 00:08:23 | |
like where can we? | 00:08:27 | |
And we'll demand that you give us a vote. | 00:09:00 | |
We'll make sure you have a full analysis on the staff side that you can make a full determination on your recommendation to the | 00:09:04 | |
City Council. And one more point really quick, but we haven't left that comment period yet. So one more. And as the cemetery is | 00:09:11 | |
offering, as I understand there's two acres he's offering. I was looking at at the homesteads. | 00:09:18 | |
All the homesteads boundaries and it's it would have to be careful to make sure that 2 acres aligns with some Parkland or | 00:09:27 | |
something on the. | 00:09:32 | |
In the Hallway Farms development area so that we actually could make a cemetery out of it because. | 00:09:37 | |
That you deem necessary if they do want to approve it. So cool. | 00:10:11 | |
Cool. Thanks, David. While I won't be on the Planning Commission when that happens, I'll I'll be here for sure. | 00:10:17 | |
Thanks, David. | 00:10:25 | |
Moving to consent items. Approval for the November 6th, 2024 Planning Commission meeting minutes. | 00:10:28 | |
Do I have a motion on that? | 00:10:35 | |
I motion. | 00:10:38 | |
2nd. | 00:10:40 | |
All in favor, aye. Moving to business item 4.2, should we put off the calendar until? | 00:10:42 | |
We have more people. So we have people that are. Yeah. I mean, if I don't know if we need an official motion, but I think for | 00:10:49 | |
actually, sadly, both of these items, it would make a lot more sense. I mean, it would be helpful to have the calendar approved | 00:10:55 | |
before the new year, just so we know. And if you look at the staff report, there's no. | 00:11:01 | |
I don't think there's any dates taken off except for January 1st or the 2nd 1st. So does the, you know, the standard first and | 00:11:07 | |
third Wednesday of the month except for that first meeting in January which is a combined Planning Commission City Council | 00:11:12 | |
meeting. I. | 00:11:16 | |
I have a question on that actually. So I'm about to start a busier travel season for my job. Is it possible for me to do a zoom in | 00:11:22 | |
for these if I'm not in this? Yeah, we have been able to set up for electronic connection before. I'll have to talk with Pam on | 00:11:29 | |
how that works on if you're connected online, if that's if you can be like a sitting member or if you can't. But I'll, I'll talk | 00:11:35 | |
to her and figure that out. | 00:11:42 | |
I think we should be OK if you unless you want to maybe. | 00:11:49 | |
Do a modified calendar, just I don't know the legal process here. | 00:11:55 | |
On saying that, the first meeting will be held and the calendar can be determined on January 8th. | 00:11:59 | |
That would be the first meeting that we're proposing. And then from there, hopefully more members of the Commission are here and | 00:12:05 | |
you can vote on a full calendar at that meeting. Perfect. | 00:12:10 | |
I believe January 8th is actually a City Council meeting that we're doing an ombudsman training. It's a combined Planning | 00:12:15 | |
Commission City Council meeting. So we did include it on this calendar. But I'm saying if we just say this calendar can be | 00:12:21 | |
approved, will be reviewed and approved on January 8th at a Planning Commission meeting, I think that should be okay. That's fine. | 00:12:27 | |
When Sorry, no, go ahead, couple. | 00:12:35 | |
Business questions. Do we have nominations or appointees at the start of the new year for the Planning Commission yet? So we don't | 00:12:38 | |
have any as of right now. The mayor may choose to and the council may choose to do that on the 8th. Sometimes it does take them a | 00:12:46 | |
little bit longer to go through that process. I know that that they are aware that that Bryce is retiring. | 00:12:54 | |
And that we'll need a new Commission member. | 00:13:03 | |
OK, so. | 00:13:07 | |
What I would I'd like to make a motion that we adopt the calendar. | 00:13:08 | |
Just approving the meetings of the 8th and the 15th because I feel like some of these business items would be more appropriate on | 00:13:15 | |
the 15th when meeting as just us rather than also with the City Council setting. I don't really want to necessarily reign on their | 00:13:22 | |
parade with some of our day-to-day business stuff. I think that's more appropriate for the 15th. OK, so Nate has made a motion to | 00:13:29 | |
delay item 4.2 until the 15th meeting, but also approving. | 00:13:36 | |
The meetings for January 8th and January 15th. | 00:13:44 | |
Do I have a second? | 00:13:47 | |
Second, all in favor, aye. Then item 4.3, before we delay this, make a motion to delay this. I would like to put in that I think | 00:13:49 | |
that Nate would make a great Planning Commission chair. He's very level headed. I really appreciate having him on the Planning | 00:13:57 | |
Commission. And so while we're not picking that now, I just want it on the record. | 00:14:05 | |
Would make a great chair. It's nice I moved to have this pushed to another date. | 00:14:14 | |
All right. No, it's all good. Do you want to move it to the 15th also? | 00:14:23 | |
I think that would be a more appropriate time because that's when we'll have a more full body. | 00:14:30 | |
But I want to hear both of your opinions with that. | 00:14:35 | |
I think that would be I think that makes sense too. Yeah, I think so since it's just the three of us and and you're moving off, we | 00:14:38 | |
want to give other. | 00:14:42 | |
People an opportunity they want to. So do I have a second? | 00:14:47 | |
I'll second all in favor. Aye, all right, that's being moved. | 00:14:51 | |
And we'll move right into the work session for the 2024 zoning text amendment overall. | 00:14:56 | |
Cash, you got this or Anthony, this is going to be me, OK. | 00:15:01 | |
We're trying something new here, using iPad for a presentation so I can take notes. | 00:15:05 | |
So this is the last section it did look like if you look through the the notes here and also I need to note that I did not include | 00:15:40 | |
the presentation. | 00:15:43 | |
Because I got it finished at like 5:50 today, but I essentially the Word document that was with this staff report is everything in | 00:15:47 | |
that presentation. I just have it. | 00:15:54 | |
In the different it looks a little different. Anyways, I'll just go through these. | 00:16:00 | |
Sure, there is paper copies over there David, if you do want. | 00:16:08 | |
Yeah, if you want to look at that, that's the. | 00:16:14 | |
Paper copy so the slideshow I just condensed most of what you'll see in the paper copy just to make it a little bit easier to read | 00:16:16 | |
and I'll go through each section. Feel free to stop me at any time if you do have questions or you have other changes that you | 00:16:22 | |
see. But the first section 15 two, which is title, authority, purpose and declaration of intent and effective date, we just we | 00:16:28 | |
added title. So everywhere you'll see in green applications, building structures, applicability, minimum requirements, those were | 00:16:34 | |
all added and then we just. | 00:16:40 | |
Cleaned up some of the language that was we felt was confusing or archaic. A lot of this code was originally adopted with the very | 00:16:46 | |
first joining code in like 2014 or something like that, and a lot of it was just copy and pasted from other jurisdictions. So we | 00:16:52 | |
just wanted to clean it up as much as possible. | 00:16:58 | |
Umm. | 00:17:05 | |
Let's see. | 00:17:07 | |
I'll go on. | 00:17:11 | |
1506 land use authorities and officers. So this is one that probably there might be some more conversation to be had on it. Right | 00:17:12 | |
now, our code does require that we stagger the appointments of Planning Commission members so that not more than one renewal is | 00:17:20 | |
member terms are to be staggered so that no more than one term shall expire each year. When you have 8 Commission members, that's | 00:17:27 | |
technically impossible to accomplish. So we looked at other cities. I talked to Pam about this and she felt that 3. | 00:17:35 | |
An appropriate number. That's actually, we have a few right now, they're that way. So we just want to make sure we are meeting our | 00:17:42 | |
code. And so that's why we're suggesting to change it to three appointments instead of one term can expire at the end of each | 00:17:47 | |
year. | 00:17:51 | |
Do you have any comments on that? | 00:17:57 | |
OK, just before we keep going for the record. | 00:17:59 | |
The city attorney has reviewed none of this yet. So yeah, that'll be essentially the next step is once we've gotten all the | 00:18:04 | |
comments from you, we will send it to him and he'll make sure that we're meeting state code and all that, and then it'll be a | 00:18:10 | |
business item, which we'll vote on. Correct? Yep. This is just a work session just to talk and to make sure we have it where we | 00:18:15 | |
wanted since we asked you to do some things last time when you're bringing it back with the changes. Yeah. Thank you. | 00:18:20 | |
The next section is about the quorum. So quorum is having three members here. | 00:18:26 | |
And right now the wording in this makes it makes it seem like a vote requires the majority of the Planning Commission, which would | 00:18:32 | |
actually be four to five people because the Planning Commission is made-up of eight people. And so we just added language to say | 00:18:38 | |
sitting present members of the Planning Commission. And that way, you know, if there's three of you here, it just requires that | 00:18:44 | |
majority to to vote. | 00:18:50 | |
Commission organization. We included some. | 00:18:58 | |
No, it would. It would still have to be 3, wouldn't it? Let me. All actions of the Commission shall require the vote of a majority | 00:19:02 | |
of the total sitting present members of the Commission. So of the three of us here, two of them need to be OK with it. It's the | 00:19:08 | |
majority of who is there. I personally feel that it should be the majority of the total body, regardless who's president, | 00:19:14 | |
including the alternates. | 00:19:20 | |
So we could, do you want me to change it to that of the Commission, not including the alternate? Yeah. I don't want it to be two. | 00:19:26 | |
I want it to at least be 3. Everything OK? Yeah. | 00:19:30 | |
We could say with a minimum, we could say of a minimum that makes sense majority of. | 00:19:35 | |
Yeah, whatever the way to word it. | 00:19:42 | |
However, I would like to hear what the. | 00:19:44 | |
Argument for this would be. | 00:19:47 | |
Because it seemed right away we're all like, so was there a reason? Yeah. And that would be technically tonight if we had a site | 00:19:48 | |
plan before you, you could not vote to approve it with, even though you had the three of us. You have a quorum here. And if we had | 00:19:54 | |
a minimum thing, you need to have four people voting. | 00:19:59 | |
OK, which is fine. I don't think we've ever had an issue Where so do you think just a minimum of three? Yeah. So even if we have | 00:20:06 | |
stuff come forward, I don't think that there are issues and if there are, if they are controversial enough that somebody's voting | 00:20:12 | |
no, then I think that we should have more. | 00:20:17 | |
OK. | 00:20:24 | |
Sorry, can you speak into the mic there? You OK? Sure, thanks. So point of there as long as you do that for everyone in the. | 00:20:27 | |
So you're saying that we have? | 00:20:35 | |
You'd have to have four or five to make a majority, but there are 5 sitting council members at anyone time, right? Commission | 00:20:37 | |
members at one time. We have alternates, so the majority of the five. | 00:20:43 | |
So I guess I'll work on this language. So that does a vote requires at least three people and that three people have to be an | 00:20:50 | |
affirmative. So in this case, if site plan was here tonight, we wouldn't have to postpone that because we don't, we do have a | 00:20:55 | |
quorum, but we don't have a majority of the total Commission, which is 8 people. | 00:21:00 | |
And so we would still allow that vote to take place, but it'd have to be a unanimous vote among the three sitting members, even | 00:21:07 | |
even if one of the people up here was an alternate. So the way I the way I see it, and we'll need to talk to Jamie about legality | 00:21:12 | |
of it, if there were two sitting members and an alternate up here and it was, you know, a mess among the three, the alternate | 00:21:17 | |
would be, at that time, a sitting member. Yeah. When an alternate is sitting up here, they are considered a member of the Planning | 00:21:22 | |
Commission. | 00:21:28 | |
So maybe just to say 3 a minimum of three. | 00:21:34 | |
OK. | 00:21:38 | |
But I'll let you figure that out, OK? Yeah, I'll work on that language and bring it back. I think before bringing it back, that is | 00:21:41 | |
one worth sharing with the city attorney because we need to know what applicant rights there are and that we aren't being overly | 00:21:45 | |
burdensome with some of our rules. Yeah. | 00:21:50 | |
I mean, even if the City Council has only three City Council members and a City Council meeting, it has to be unanimous when they | 00:21:56 | |
pass things. Yeah, yeah. So we'll try to just make it equal to what the city council's minimums are. | 00:22:02 | |
OK, Commission organization. This just allows for the Commission to elect a chair pro temp in case the chair and vice chair are | 00:22:08 | |
gone. Right now, there's really no language that outlines the process for that, so we just wanted to include that. | 00:22:16 | |
Vineyard, the development. | 00:22:25 | |
Let's see. Oh, the DRC, we're finally getting this in here through presses. I was just gonna ask, probably over a year overdue for | 00:22:27 | |
right now, but the DRC membership right now essentially allows everybody to have a designee except for the Planning Commission | 00:22:34 | |
chair. And we are now adding that language in so the planning cushion chair can have a designate. | 00:22:40 | |
This next one, super simple, just an establishment of districts. This just gives a brief summary of what every district is. The | 00:22:50 | |
RMU, the FOI, the Archie, the GRMU was missing the Geneva Rd. mixed-use, so we just included that. This is the definition straight | 00:22:57 | |
from the DRAMU code language. No changes or anything like that to it. | 00:23:03 | |
I did have a quick question on the zoning map. This was an issue that was brought up when the homes Holdaway Farms came and the | 00:23:10 | |
map has different coloring for different zoning. | 00:23:16 | |
Do we want to define the zoning for future developments because there's still zoning on the map that is low density that. | 00:23:22 | |
So you're saying like this density equals this many units per acre? Yeah. | 00:23:33 | |
I can talk to, I know exactly what you're talking about where people were saying this is high density when it's other people are | 00:23:39 | |
saying this is actually low density. And then it's like we called it low medium density because we don't have any definitions. So | 00:23:45 | |
it was zoned as low density. And the developer came in with a plan that eventually got approved by the City Council but denied by | 00:23:51 | |
the Planning Commission that had a greater density than all of our medium density in the city. And they said that it was low | 00:23:57 | |
density because of some. | 00:24:02 | |
Yeah, yeah, some arbitrary, they thought that and we didn't have a way to like have teeth in that and that was super annoying with | 00:24:09 | |
that. OK, yeah, I can include that in the definitions of for each zone kind of what. And I do remember having this conversation | 00:24:15 | |
with Morgan when this whole thing came about and I I do remember him pushing back for some reason. I don't remember what that is, | 00:24:21 | |
but I'll, I'll try to figure that out and bring that. | 00:24:28 | |
One way or another, back to you guys, OK? | 00:24:35 | |
The OK, yeah, this is the the zoning map we just talked about like uncertainty, uncertainty regarding boundaries of various zones. | 00:24:40 | |
So if you look at the zoning map, it just kind of has a line going down different areas. And generally that's that's a long lot | 00:24:46 | |
lines, but there are a few like for example, we're doing a site plan right now for the LDS Church along Geneva Rd. where they have | 00:24:52 | |
one lot that is split into two different zones. And so this language here just. | 00:24:58 | |
Helps us simplify exactly how we determine which zone to rule that property as. | 00:25:05 | |
And we did have that language in there before, if you'll notice on the paper copy everything in red and stricken out is what was | 00:25:12 | |
in there. We just tried to make that language a little bit easier to understand. | 00:25:17 | |
The next one, this is probably a little bit more complicated, the district E table. I tried to provide a brief summary up at the | 00:25:26 | |
top of everything we did, but if you looked at our previous, our current district use table, it's pretty ugly. It's really hard to | 00:25:32 | |
find anything. And so actually Madison spent countless hours redrawing a new table and splitting it up. So now we'll have a | 00:25:39 | |
residential category, a commercial category, and. | 00:25:46 | |
A public. | 00:25:53 | |
I only included those two in the paper copy actually, but we just split it up rather than having one long table. It just makes it | 00:25:55 | |
easier to read. And then here are a few changes that we are making to it or suggesting that we make to it, changing the short term | 00:26:01 | |
rental from not permitted to permitted. As we've discussed in the past about short term rentals, I think the first one of these | 00:26:08 | |
work sessions that we did kind of creating these standards on short term rentals and we'll come back to that once again. | 00:26:15 | |
But right now, it's just not permitted across the board right now. | 00:26:23 | |
We're changing to permitted, but with the subscript note saying it has to follow the standards that we are working on getting | 00:26:26 | |
approved and that's only in the single family home neighborhoods I believe and maybe the RMU. | 00:26:33 | |
Then we added check cashing and other credit services. I know there's been some talk online about the city creating a zone or | 00:26:42 | |
allowing this type of use, but I did just want to reiterate that if we don't outline specific standards for different uses, then | 00:26:49 | |
we have to essentially use like this. If, if a check cashing place wanted to come in, we would have to rule and just say this is a | 00:26:57 | |
financial institution and it is governed by that standard, which is pretty low by creating. | 00:27:04 | |
Or something like this, we can now put on some more requirements and I think we went over those in the past of kind of having | 00:27:11 | |
these distance requirements, total number of businesses we're allowing. So we're including that in the table. We are changing car | 00:27:17 | |
wash from permitted to conditional in the RMU. We've had a lot of drama about car washes in the past. We did want to just put in | 00:27:23 | |
some more kind of barriers there. And so that would actually, I believe they are only permitted now in the manufacturing or the FY | 00:27:29 | |
zone and the rest. | 00:27:35 | |
Conditional in any of our other like commercial zones Event Center, we change that from not permitted to conditional in the | 00:27:42 | |
regional commercial. | 00:27:46 | |
We added the mobile food court with it only being conditional in the RMU. We added retail tobacco specialty business. So once | 00:27:52 | |
again similar to that check cashing, we just we want to create standards for this. And so it's a conditional in the regional | 00:27:59 | |
commercial and then establish or tattoo establishment we included on here because that wasn't anywhere and that is permitted in in | 00:28:05 | |
most of our commercial zones, RMUGRMU, FM, UR, SHE and NC. | 00:28:12 | |
So with that, are there any? | 00:28:20 | |
Yeah, I have. I see no issues with the actual substance of the table and what we discussed. I feel like it's consistent. The only | 00:28:22 | |
suggestion I have with formatting of the table is that the zoning district uses heading is only at the beginning of the table and | 00:28:30 | |
when it's on multiple pages, sometimes I get lost. So that is a way we could format that when it's actually published. | 00:28:39 | |
That is a problem with technology, so. | 00:28:48 | |
To make a Long story short, we pay for Muna Scribe. I think it's mean scribe. I don't actually forgot the name of the Municote. | 00:28:51 | |
Thank you. Municode and they have two different softwares. We use this one as a self-publishing software and the tables that we're | 00:28:58 | |
allowed to use are very restrictive. One method that we could do is every, I don't know, every five rows. We could just include | 00:29:05 | |
the zoning so that it would be there. So it's easy to follow so. | 00:29:12 | |
But there was nobody out with the notes. Was it uploaded? | 00:29:20 | |
As a Word document, I believe in the future is just uploaded as a PDF that would resolve that issue. | 00:29:25 | |
You can correct me if I'm wrong. So it's usually created in the software on the website itself. So you can't create it in Word and | 00:29:34 | |
just copy it inside. You can paste it as a picture and it won't be clear enough to work with. | 00:29:42 | |
The file December 18th PC notes. | 00:29:51 | |
Was created within the system, yes. | 00:29:55 | |
Yeah, we don't software, like I said, it has so many. It is great for the most part, but the table feature on it is the most | 00:29:59 | |
frustrating thing in the world. I think Madison probably recreated this table two or three times because of the issues it had. And | 00:30:06 | |
yeah, it was created in here and then I took screenshots of it and created the note document that you're looking at. Like I said, | 00:30:12 | |
the substance wise, I don't see an issue with it. I just want to make sure when it is published in the actual municipal code. | 00:30:19 | |
Then it's formatted in a friendly way, and if that means you need to have some ribbons throughout it to remind us what the heck | 00:30:27 | |
we're looking at. | 00:30:30 | |
Then maybe that's how we do it. I just ask that you please consider that. It's not. Yeah. So substance, just user friendliness. | 00:30:34 | |
So, yeah, I'll show you. So this is like I said, this is the updated table, what it looks like where we did split it. And that's | 00:30:40 | |
the reason we did split it. So now residential, it's a little easier to read. Let me show you the original. Yeah, just the zoning | 00:30:46 | |
district uses every seven. Yeah. Yeah. So every. | 00:30:53 | |
Yeah. So right now, like for example, if you wanted to find out motor vehicle fueling station and the RMU, you're then scrolling | 00:31:00 | |
up here and then you have to go down here. You moved a little to the left or right. | 00:31:04 | |
Yeah, yeah. So just add a ribbon every 10 or so. All right, I'll have Madison do that. Take her a few hours. Thanks. | 00:31:10 | |
OK, let me go back to this. | 00:31:19 | |
Maybe. | 00:31:27 | |
OK, Anything else with the district E table? | 00:31:30 | |
If not, I can continue. | 00:31:37 | |
You're good, OK. | 00:31:40 | |
01 other a few other things. This is not in the paper copies. These are the things I caught. | 00:31:44 | |
But that that's really up to to you guys on on what you think is the best route. | 00:32:17 | |
If they are putting in like permanent lighting. | 00:32:51 | |
So we should catch that at that stage. I get that some people still might do some work themselves and don't get a permit, but in | 00:32:54 | |
that stage we should catch it. And, and it's also another thing if if you do see it and it is causing concern, if you have a | 00:33:00 | |
bright light shining into your window, let us know and we'll do what we can. | 00:33:05 | |
And then the other thing is we simplified the garage detached garage language. It was just a really giant section of the the | 00:33:13 | |
district use table and we just changed it to I think permitted with a subscript saying review the code below just to make the | 00:33:19 | |
table look better. | 00:33:24 | |
OK, development agreements. | 00:33:32 | |
We mostly just simplified language here, as you'll see in the paper copy. Everything in red we're taking out green is all new. And | 00:33:35 | |
then the second section there says that every development agreement is supposed to be reviewed by the City Council every year. | 00:33:42 | |
Once again, I don't think that. | 00:33:51 | |
Happens often enough and so we added some language that says the council or staff shall review a development agreement and then if | 00:33:54 | |
staff does it that they need to provide a report to the City Council on if they are meeting those obligations from the development | 00:33:59 | |
agreement. So for example, right now with Holdaway Fields starting to develop a lot, Anthony's been going through their | 00:34:05 | |
development agreement and saying, you know, when are we going to get our 400 S Rd. connection? Are we making sure that they're up | 00:34:11 | |
to date on their landscaping? | 00:34:16 | |
And all that. And so this just allows staff to do that report to the City Council just because that's a lot more likely to get | 00:34:22 | |
done than just the council reviewing every development agreement. I don't know what your thoughts are on that. That makes sense. | 00:34:30 | |
Yeah, in the past, whenever I see stuff like this municipal code, you can usually tie that to. | 00:34:39 | |
Years ago, a certain development agreement got approved that members of the council said I really don't want to approve this. And | 00:34:45 | |
they said, well, what have we reviewed every year? OK, then I'll prove it. That's usually where this is coming from. And if this | 00:34:51 | |
was inherited from another community, cool. I'm interested to see the origin of this particular one for Vineyard. | 00:34:57 | |
Provo had a weird one or if this was something from a few years ago that about a development agreement that we're concerned about, | 00:35:05 | |
but I think it totally makes sense. | 00:35:11 | |
Staff do it and then write up a summary every 12 months that can be on consent calendar unless there's something worth raising. | 00:35:17 | |
You wonder the last time the development agreement for the homesteads was reviewed? Great question. Well, we're about to go in a | 00:35:22 | |
few months ago. 20 years ago. | 00:35:28 | |
I'm curious so and and that would be good if it is in here, it would help create a practice in our department because right now if | 00:35:35 | |
it's up to the council to review it then. | 00:35:39 | |
You know, it's just not going to happen, but right now if we do say or staff that would then kind of create the mandate for us to | 00:35:44 | |
do it and it would be kind of put on a yearly thing for us to provide for the council. As far as single family housing, they're | 00:35:50 | |
the only ones, well, except for I guess holdaway fields now that are still building and they've still got quite a lot left. I | 00:35:55 | |
think it could be wise to review that. | 00:36:01 | |
Yeah, maybe when we're reviewing this pod two, we could look back at the whole development agreement as well, just to make sure | 00:36:08 | |
amenities and promises. | 00:36:12 | |
Cool. OK, um. | 00:36:18 | |
OK. Yeah, permitted uses this essentially. It just was a little confusing at the beginning because it sounds like that the plan or | 00:36:23 | |
the city planner gets to review and render a final decision for every permitted use application that comes into the city. And I | 00:36:31 | |
just wanted to create some language to differentiate what the Planning Commission approves versus what the city planner approves. | 00:36:38 | |
So for example, like a building or if a business wants to move into an already existing structure, that is something the planning. | 00:36:45 | |
Can review, we say, oh, this is a permitted use, they're allowed to move into here. But if it's a site plan, a commercial site | 00:36:53 | |
plan, we want the Planning Commission to look at it. Same thing single family homes planning or the planner does approve that, not | 00:36:58 | |
the Planning Commission. So we just wanted to create that language in there. And most of this is redundant in the site planning | 00:37:04 | |
section as well, just differentiating the the two. | 00:37:09 | |
Umm, then approval standards, we removed some redundant language. It was just, you know, essentially laid out everything that we | 00:37:16 | |
review, but it's also like every site plan needs to comply with the requirements of the zoning district. And then it includes all | 00:37:22 | |
these different things, like the just different standards, height setbacks, all that. But that's something that's just in the | 00:37:28 | |
zoning standard. So we felt that language was not necessary. | 00:37:34 | |
Conditional uses, this one, we did include a section in here saying the title report and survey of the subject property may be | 00:37:42 | |
required by the city planner. Right now it is just required. I don't know what your thoughts are on that. There's a lot of | 00:37:48 | |
benefits to having a title report, but we felt that there might be some cases where a conditional use is is report or conditional | 00:37:54 | |
use. | 00:37:59 | |
Permit is required and we filled title report might not prove to to be a benefit to to the Planning Commissioner staff. | 00:38:06 | |
And in that case, we could, you know, waive that requirement. We're fine keeping it as a requirement if you do want it. But for | 00:38:15 | |
example, if somebody wanted to do a home preschool, I believe they need a conditional use permit. And so that would be an example | 00:38:20 | |
of do we want to make them go through all this title work for this home preschool, you know, and that is something that the city | 00:38:26 | |
planner in this new language could wave. | 00:38:32 | |
I, I was with you until you gave that example because I went absolutely do a title report for that because is that person a renter | 00:38:40 | |
or the owner? And are we OK with the owner knowing that they're running a preschool out of the house they're renting and that's | 00:38:45 | |
something that's why you'd run the time. We do check that in the business license application. So we do kind of have those | 00:38:51 | |
measures in place. But like I said, it's, it's up to you guys if, if you do or if we do want to create kind of a standard of when | 00:38:56 | |
we would waive that requirement. | 00:39:02 | |
Anytime I see the word may, I'm followed up with a cool Under what circumstances? | 00:39:10 | |
That's just kind of my general. | 00:39:15 | |
Roll with most of these because when it says maybe if the city planner feels like it. Obviously casual, but that's the risk. You | 00:39:18 | |
guys are awesome city planners, but what about 5 years from now, 10 years from now, 20 years from now? | 00:39:24 | |
I want to make sure we're getting people accountable. Yeah, no, I'm totally agree. So yeah, I'll look into that. And if I do find | 00:39:31 | |
special circumstances where I do think that would be adequate, then I'll include them. If not, I'll just remove that. | 00:39:37 | |
But that's only one opinion. | 00:39:44 | |
You have at least double that over here. Either that or like dig into specifics of these are the ones that we wouldn't OK. | 00:39:46 | |
Are there any other ones besides like? | 00:39:59 | |
Preschool. Are there any other examples of? | 00:40:01 | |
So I mean, for example, right now we are we're reviewing like a site plan application for a tire shop that's not near any kind of | 00:40:05 | |
residential. | 00:40:08 | |
That is a conditional use. So that would require higher report and we will be, I guess this could be a good example. We are | 00:40:14 | |
already getting a title report because they have to do a plat. So now we're gonna make them possibly do another title report for | 00:40:20 | |
this business. So that might be in a circumstance where it's like we don't really need to see this again, but this would be | 00:40:26 | |
another good one that would be good to run through. Our attorney is he's the one who generally touches a lot of things. | 00:40:32 | |
If we can, if they've submitted a title report in the beginning, is that not something we can just that we have on record or that | 00:40:38 | |
they would? | 00:40:41 | |
Well, the art requirements, title reports, I believe Anthony yeah, they're only valid for 30 days. And so say for example, they do | 00:40:44 | |
this platting, we get it approved and then 31 days later they go through a site plan with conditional use. We now have an expired. | 00:40:52 | |
Got it, Tyler report. Where do we want to put that burden back onto them? | 00:41:00 | |
Only get that and that is obnoxious so yeah, I appreciate doing something to be more so yeah we'll dig into this to answer | 00:41:06 | |
language to make it not duplicative work but if it. | 00:41:11 | |
Hasn't been yeah, existing, right. If it hasn't happened before, I'm with me. I'd like it to happen. Some language there. The | 00:41:15 | |
survey also. Yeah, I love that it's a may there because very few conditional use permits really need an all to serve it. | 00:41:25 | |
I would love to avoid that because that's also just a. | 00:41:34 | |
It's a pretty expensive cost for the developer that nine times out of 10, you go, OK, cool, yeah. And then put away. And so only | 00:41:38 | |
ask for things if we feel like it's a substitute, if it would help. Yeah, change a decision, Right. And maybe that's how we word | 00:41:43 | |
it with where is May. | 00:41:49 | |
May be required by the city planner if it is of substance to the decision at hand, or even just saying by the city planner at his | 00:41:55 | |
discretion. | 00:42:00 | |
OK. Yeah, we'll work on languages and like I said, I think it would be another good one to run by our legal to make sure. Yeah. | 00:42:05 | |
And the same would apply for the section right underneath it when talking about traffic impact analysis. Yeah, we talked at length | 00:42:11 | |
about that and I wanna make sure if there's a may there, we have conditions on when. | 00:42:17 | |
Yeah. And and this one, it was just the language in red was super confusing. If required by the Commission, DRC engineer, traffic | 00:42:24 | |
impact analysis will be required. So we just rephrased it essentially saying it may be required if requested by the Planning | 00:42:32 | |
Commission, DRC or city engineer. So any one of our bodies could request it. And in that case it is now required document. | 00:42:40 | |
Instead of saying it may be required, say oh will be required. Will be required if requested. | 00:42:49 | |
OK, good catch. | 00:42:56 | |
Change my. | 00:42:58 | |
All right. | 00:43:02 | |
General property development standards removed language about flag lots. We don't have any standards in our city 4 flag lots, and | 00:43:05 | |
so this section right now is talking about driveway or lot frontage requirements and where we don't have any flag lots and we | 00:43:12 | |
don't have flag flag standards. It felt unnecessary to include this language unless we wanted to create a section specifically | 00:43:18 | |
talking about flag lots and how we want to. | 00:43:24 | |
You know, examine those. | 00:43:32 | |
Or what requirements we want to put onto those? Is there any possibility that there could be a flag lot? I I mean, I there's | 00:43:34 | |
always a yeah, always a possibility that something could happen like that. | 00:43:39 | |
But I think, and Rachel is the one who did this section, so she has a little bit more insight on why she wanted to remove that. | 00:43:45 | |
But I think it it just comes down to we need to create the section on flag lots that have these standards in place rather than | 00:43:51 | |
just say right now this is saying we don't require driveway frontage requirements for flag lots. Like let's create the standard | 00:43:56 | |
rather than just kind of. | 00:44:02 | |
Ignore it. Yeah, OK, yeah. | 00:44:08 | |
The next one, again it's talking about front yard parking prohibited and it says that no vehicle parking shall be permitted in any | 00:44:11 | |
required front yard setback area except on driveways located in residential loans that directly access a garage or carport. We | 00:44:17 | |
felt that that. | 00:44:23 | |
We already do have a requirement of where parking can be located in a front yard. And we felt that like this language was first | 00:44:29 | |
redundant, but also could be restrictive of additional parking. If somebody wanted to put in a concrete pad that didn't access a | 00:44:34 | |
carport or driveway, but they wanted to have something just as you know, if they have an Adu or something like that. So we wanted | 00:44:40 | |
to remove that language. | 00:44:45 | |
Clearview triangle, this one we've been having a lot of hard times with lately because of the graphic that we include in the | 00:44:52 | |
zoning code is very confusing on where we actually measure. So essentially the Clearview triangle is a 12 foot line measured from | 00:44:58 | |
the driveway to the street and then from the driveway entrance to either side. And it creates this triangle, a view protection | 00:45:03 | |
triangle that we don't want to see any fences, any permanent structures, anything like that in that area. But the way that the | 00:45:09 | |
code is written right now. | 00:45:14 | |
Makes it from the curb line and essentially by the time you get to the curb line to the driveway, you're already at like 10 feet | 00:45:21 | |
or something like that. And so it makes it useless. And so we changed how we measure that, how we measure the. | 00:45:26 | |
The Clearview triangle and then we remove the graphic. When we come back for approval we will probably have an updated graphic to | 00:45:33 | |
show this just because they are helpful, but in this case it did hurt us. | 00:45:38 | |
So accessory dwelling units, this one might be a little bit more of a duty to get through. So in our general plan, we actually do | 00:45:47 | |
have this in here in our moderate income housing section that we will approve mobile housing types intended for long term | 00:45:54 | |
placement that adhere to a permanent foundation. That's in our general plan. It's also in our moderate income housing report that | 00:46:01 | |
of things that we need to continually improve is Adu. | 00:46:08 | |
And so we felt that this was a good time to include it. | 00:46:15 | |
A question What constitutes as a mobile house? | 00:46:18 | |
Great question. Essentially you could get something like a pre manufactured home and put that on a permanent foundation, but it | 00:46:23 | |
would have to be fit within our detached accessory structure code. | 00:46:29 | |
So we're trying to figure out the best way to do this without people thinking we're just allowing like a trailer park to exist or | 00:46:37 | |
like a shipping container. People have done that and built like a house on a shipping container. So we don't allow containers | 00:46:43 | |
right now in the city. So that would prohibit that. But this mostly is speaking to like pre manufactured homes. I think that's | 00:46:49 | |
where. | 00:46:55 | |
I get hung up is the term mobile housing when I think you might mean modular prefab is exactly yeah, I just yeah, I use the word | 00:47:02 | |
mobile just because that was what is in our general plan. Let me pull that up Mobile would. | 00:47:11 | |
I think would contradict the rest of the statement where it's saying it's adhere to a permanent foundation, so then it's no longer | 00:47:21 | |
mobile. We don't want it to be mobile, so. | 00:47:26 | |
And I know that most trailers aren't early either. If you're saying like a trailer park, a mobile home, but I don't know, then we | 00:47:31 | |
can dig into more specifics on what it looks like. Is it really a modular home or is it a prefab 1? Because there's some really | 00:47:37 | |
fantastic prefabbed homes that would even match as an accessory dwelling unit. It's very different than doing a double wide. And | 00:47:44 | |
maybe this is where we could include some sort of definition that could help us. | 00:47:50 | |
I believe that we got this language straight from the state. So the state. | 00:47:57 | |
Going back to where you were asking about kind of where we're at with density in the state, essentially the state has this | 00:48:02 | |
moderate income housing report that we have to fill out every year that kind of talks about the state of the city and what we're | 00:48:07 | |
doing to encourage moderate income housing. And one of those sections that we have to that the city has chosen to report on is our | 00:48:13 | |
accessory dwelling units. And from there they kind of create a menu of different things that you can choose. And so this is | 00:48:18 | |
something that was. | 00:48:23 | |
Chosen by the the Planning Commission City Council, probably in 2022. | 00:48:29 | |
Is one of our strategies that we would adopt by the end of 2025 is to allow this mobile housing type? I can see if that language | 00:48:33 | |
did come straight from the state. My guess is it would be hard to change that if we want to qualify this under the modern income | 00:48:40 | |
housing if we did change it to be more restrictive than what the state is. But I can look into that specific when when the City | 00:48:47 | |
Council approved those things, did we not approve an extra 1? | 00:48:54 | |
We did, but we can no longer report on one of the goals. And I forget which one it is, but this year they essentially they gave us | 00:49:02 | |
the approval on the moderate income housing and said starting this year you can no longer report on this, this goal. | 00:49:09 | |
And it's not a fun report today. So I wonder how we can get the definition of, yeah, exactly what mobile housing is that is | 00:49:17 | |
intended for long term placement that adhere to. Yeah. And it's also who's determining what that is. There's a lot of kind of Gray | 00:49:24 | |
area in there, I think. | 00:49:30 | |
One of the. | 00:49:38 | |
Low hanging fruit to do it is out of Section 3 of Design standards. | 00:49:39 | |
To say absolutely, we allow mobile housing types as long as it complies to all our types. That's a good idea. And the set design | 00:49:44 | |
standards are the roof needs to match the primary building, the siding needs to match the primary building. So if it's a mobile, | 00:49:50 | |
it looks like a prefab and that's how you do it. Yeah, that's a great idea. I'll include that in there. | 00:49:56 | |
Then license denial revocation, we included this that if somebody does have an Adu license, but they do have zoning violations, | 00:50:06 | |
this is a method that we can use to. | 00:50:11 | |
Help them come into compliance. This would be helpful. For example, if they do have, if they're operating their home as a duplex | 00:50:19 | |
where they're renting out the top and basement, but they have an active Adu license, we can now revoke it. | 00:50:24 | |
We just wanted to have that language in there to back this up. | 00:50:31 | |
Has a lot of may. So again, just the talk with the attorney. Yeah, Yeah, OK. | 00:50:37 | |
When I see I I was involved in code enforcement once where? | 00:50:43 | |
This was in another city in another state so I'm OK sharing it where we were getting as a code enforcement officer. Lots of push | 00:50:47 | |
from. | 00:50:52 | |
A certain person of high standing in our community who didn't like their neighbor. | 00:50:58 | |
And so they said hit him with everything and we have words like may. So it means, yeah, you can get him with that. I want to be | 00:51:02 | |
fair and I want to be good. And so that's the reason I yeah, we'll we'll work on that to kind of create kind of a standard on how | 00:51:09 | |
we will determine if it will be maybe do a control fine for the word what may through all of our with the nodes should and may. I | 00:51:15 | |
think maybe we should just. | 00:51:22 | |
Shall should. Yeah, well. | 00:51:28 | |
OK. I think this is maybe the last section is home occupations. And I think we actually did review some of this with you already | 00:51:30 | |
before, but we've made quite a bit updates with this with Kelly, our business licensing person. And here we just we broke off some | 00:51:38 | |
of the permitted and not permitted language. It was very confusing on it was like on not permitted uses, it was like medical | 00:51:45 | |
practitioners and veterinarian services and it's like are they related? Is it like vet medical uses? | 00:51:53 | |
And they want to read them hobby breeding. Yeah, yeah, we, we will allow that. They will have to, you know, go get a license And | 00:52:30 | |
there are standards that they do have to follow, but we would not allow commercial anyways. The ones that we are not permitting | 00:52:36 | |
would be medical practitioner, medical spa, veterinarian services, animal boarding, pet daycare, vehicle sales that are that | 00:52:42 | |
include vehicle services that include but not limited to repair, painting, maintenance sales. Same thing with recreational | 00:52:48 | |
vehicles and then major appliance. | 00:52:54 | |
You have any questions on that? | 00:53:01 | |
Or anything you want to include, anything you want to take off. We had a meeting a while back about medical practitioner about if | 00:53:03 | |
somebody does massages or if they do certain not. Is that defined? Yeah, we are creating the definition of that to be very | 00:53:09 | |
specific that a medical practitioner, somebody who's a licensed individual giving medical, whether it's a procedure or advice. We | 00:53:15 | |
actually do allow like like there's a lot of doctors with telehealth, we do allow them to do that because they're not actually | 00:53:20 | |
practicing. | 00:53:26 | |
They're not seeing patients, yeah, yeah. But somebody who does like Botox, this would be very specific that that is a medical | 00:53:32 | |
practice as you are injecting somebody with something and you have to be licensed. And so that is now very specific in here on | 00:53:37 | |
what that is. | 00:53:43 | |
I have a question and we forgive me if we did talk about this last time, but if we're, how are we enforcing this? So it's all | 00:53:49 | |
through the license. So if you had a business that you were a vet and you wanted to open a little vet shop in your house, you'd | 00:53:55 | |
apply for business and we'd deny it. If you did anyways, then just through code enforcement and in some instances we could involve | 00:54:01 | |
the the. | 00:54:08 | |
Sheriff's Office, if somebody does continue operating business that we deem it to be unsafe. | 00:54:15 | |
Under the vehicle services, would this include since it has painting, maintenance or sales repair? I know of someone that does | 00:54:20 | |
vehicle wrapping. Does that include that? So because we do say vehicle services that include but not limited to, we probably would | 00:54:26 | |
include vehicle wrapping. I would include that in a similar fashion as painting as you're kind of changing the exterior of the | 00:54:32 | |
vehicle. It causes a lot of issues because it's in a neighborhood that doesn't have much. I think I know exactly where you're | 00:54:38 | |
talking about. | 00:54:44 | |
All the parking so I I can include that specific language to say wrapping is not permitted. Yeah, I think it'd be helpful cuz I | 00:54:50 | |
think that would be good to. | 00:54:55 | |
Pursue that. | 00:55:01 | |
It's, I think it's, this is any sort of vehicle services are going to be very disruptive within. I think that is resolved with the | 00:55:03 | |
current language with #2 where home occupations are limited to only one customer at a time and by appointment only. Yeah. And they | 00:55:10 | |
can't. That's where a code enforcement needs to nail them. And that's where if we don't get a complaint, we don't know to go after | 00:55:18 | |
it. And even if we do, they could provide. And you know, if somebody is doing a vehicle wrapping business, they could. | 00:55:25 | |
Yeah, I have a customer comes in, they make an appointment, they drop off their car and they leave. But then they have 10 cars | 00:55:33 | |
parked because they had 10 clients that showed up at one time, but at different times. Then on the next one where it says | 00:55:38 | |
conditions that apply to all home occupation types and you talk about utilities. | 00:55:43 | |
Yeah, get rid of the word utilities because then it says the home occupations shall not have demand on municipal services, | 00:55:49 | |
including the public right of way. | 00:55:53 | |
If you just Scroll down to the end there, we're talking mainly just like they're not using electricity and gas, but. | 00:56:00 | |
I mean the public right of ways, municipal service as well. | 00:56:08 | |
Yeah. And we've talked about in for our business licenses, there are a lot of things that people can't do if. | 00:56:11 | |
But there are a lot of things we left that we specifically left the door open that people can do a lot of things. Yeah, Because | 00:56:20 | |
people should be able to do anything they want as long as they're not disturbing people around them, right. If nobody knows that | 00:56:27 | |
you drove a car into your garage and you're wrapping it in your garage, by all means, by all means do that. Or if somebody like, I | 00:56:35 | |
know people repair old cars and eventually sell old cars and stuff like that. If, if they're not having a disturbance, then it. | 00:56:42 | |
I think that it should be permitted and we're pretty strict with what people aren't allowed to do in those situations. From for | 00:56:50 | |
cars specifically, we talked about how they can't have any kind of equipment outside. They have to have a garage door closed. They | 00:56:59 | |
can't have cars or engines or anything like that outside of of the garage. Yeah, it can't be visible at all. So. | 00:57:08 | |
So are you just kind of saying that we already have kind of the tools to work through these problems? | 00:57:18 | |
So do you think we should remove a lot of this like the vehicle? Because I do see actually your point, if somebody did, they had a | 00:57:23 | |
hobby of fixing up old cars and selling them, would that be a business though? It could be. And at that point, yeah. Are they | 00:57:29 | |
actually going out and getting a license and doing that? | 00:57:35 | |
Yeah. So I don't think that it's necessary, but because we already have the code to enforce these things, I don't think we need | 00:57:40 | |
to. Yeah, we're we're more judging it based off of the impact rather than the use. | 00:57:46 | |
I think impact is the keyword there. And so if we are making any amendments, it's really just that section about utilities where | 00:57:53 | |
it says home occupations do not have a demand beyond what's typical in residential uses. You can say customer visits or whatever. | 00:58:01 | |
Well we even have a traditional house has. | 00:58:09 | |
Stuff there is very specific. People cannot park on the street. They have to have a parking spot off. They can only have this many | 00:58:18 | |
people that come every day. | 00:58:23 | |
Like it's very specific. Yeah. I think the hard thing is everybody can agree to that. But then when it comes down to it and you | 00:58:28 | |
have a vehicle wrapping business that's really successful, you're not gonna turn down a client for, but you get a right. But yeah, | 00:58:32 | |
you're right. It is once we get the complaint that we can do something about it. We don't turn people down. But you say, awesome, | 00:58:37 | |
come on, Thursday. | 00:58:42 | |
OK, let me make a note of that. | 00:58:48 | |
Because yeah, I don't want to. I don't want to restrict people from having at home businesses because I have. | 00:58:52 | |
Oh yeah, I forgot to include we're going to remove anything associated with the skateboards as not permitted. It was way | 00:58:59 | |
restrictive before. | 00:59:04 | |
OK. Yeah, I'll work on changing that up just so it kind of points more towards. | 00:59:11 | |
Yeah, exactly What you're talking about is something that says. Please see. Yeah. | 00:59:15 | |
OK. We, another thing we wanted to include is something about aggregate impact. So if somebody had multiple home occupations which | 00:59:21 | |
we don't want to deny them from, but we want to make sure that their impact is equal to a total of 1, which I think makes pretty | 00:59:27 | |
common sense there. Another one was nonprofit organizations. If they are a non profit organization with impact, they have to | 00:59:33 | |
follow the standards here. | 00:59:38 | |
And then we're including a section saying that the city can require or, yeah, may require inspections to determine compliance. | 00:59:47 | |
This is mostly if somebody does say, hey, I want to do this as my home occupation and we're a little iffy on if that meets our | 00:59:54 | |
standards, we can request to come to a brief inspection and then a license may be revoked upon any violation of the requirements | 01:00:01 | |
or conditions. I think pretty simple there. | 01:00:08 | |
Once again, the horde may we do want to include the hard thing is, you know, let's say you know, Bryce is he has a simple code | 01:00:17 | |
violation of I don't know, you have some weeds in your yard. Are we then going to go remove your business license for that code | 01:00:24 | |
violation? I don't know if that's fair. If the planning director despises price enough that that's honestly, I joke, but that's | 01:00:31 | |
what I'm trying to I'll look into the language to see if there's something we can do to. | 01:00:37 | |
Rework it so we can have this, yeah? | 01:00:46 | |
A certain amount of warnings or something, Yeah. | 01:00:49 | |
And then yeah, the very last thing is the utilities, the home occupation shell not have demand of municipal or utility services or | 01:00:55 | |
community facilities in excess of those usually in customary provided for residential uses. | 01:01:02 | |
I'm on the wrong slideshow here, and I'll include that where it says including the right of way to show that people cannot use the | 01:01:09 | |
street for their business, as you mentioned. But we just felt that that was important to include. And then business management, I | 01:01:15 | |
think we talked to you guys about this at the very first work session where we had this idea that like if people wanted to, it was | 01:01:21 | |
like once a year they could hold an event where they had more than one customer come to their house. And the idea was like, I | 01:01:27 | |
don't know, a Pampered Chef. | 01:01:33 | |
Or something like that. But then we determined that's going to be way too hard for staff to ever enforce. And then if that becomes | 01:01:39 | |
a problem, we'll just use code enforcement. Yes. And that's when it goes back to what's typical for a neighborhood. People have | 01:01:45 | |
parties. If it becomes every Tuesday and Thursday, then that's not typical. But now and then, yeah. So that's exactly why I | 01:01:52 | |
removed it. We'll just use code enforcement on areas where it becomes a problem. | 01:01:59 | |
So I think that is everything I had. So are there any sections or anything like that you have comments on? But I thank you guys | 01:02:07 | |
for going through all this with us. It's been a long few months of reviewing the code and hopefully sometime maybe early February, | 01:02:14 | |
we'll have this kind of all finalized and ready for you to get kind of any final feedback before it goes to to City Council. | 01:02:22 | |
Cool. David, do you have anything that you that we maybe missed or? | 01:02:31 | |
Cool. | 01:02:37 | |
All right. Thank you so much, Cash. I know this stuff is kind of mind numbing, but you guys are doing a good job. | 01:02:39 | |
Um, staff Commission and committee reports. Did you guys have anything? | 01:02:46 | |
I am so excited to say that stuff is moving forward with the skate park. Like it's cool that it's my last meeting and the whole | 01:02:52 | |
purpose of me being on the Planning Commission, I feel like, is to get this skate park happening. So I'm excited that there's | 01:03:01 | |
actually stuff that's happening. There will be Flyers going out there with a survey that you can take and a link to donate. | 01:03:10 | |
We've already received a donation, right? | 01:03:21 | |
We've received a donation where we're in talks with some businesses for donations and things are looking really positive, so be on | 01:03:23 | |
the lookout for that. It's exciting. | 01:03:29 | |
I think it'll be great for our many, many, many children and youth that live in Vineyard. | 01:03:37 | |
Yeah, that's all I had. Staff. Did you guys have anything? | 01:03:44 | |
I don't think so. We I can give a brief update on the City Hall project. So we did have that RFP go out today is actually the | 01:03:48 | |
final day for any proposals to be submitted. And so staff will be reviewing that over the next few weeks and then it'll go to City | 01:03:54 | |
Council to approve on an architecture firm to to start the design for the City Hall project. So that'll be early next year that | 01:04:00 | |
that that take place. OK. | 01:04:06 | |
Cool, if that's everything. | 01:04:12 | |
Can we do a big public thank you for thank you for your service? Thanks. We could do a ground applause, but it would be very loud. | 01:04:16 | |
Thank you. | 01:04:26 | |
Thank you so much, Steph. It's been a great eight years. And I'll still be at me. Yeah, we'll still hear from you. And for the | 01:04:28 | |
first time in eight years, will you use the gavel? | 01:04:33 | |
All right, I'm going to use the gavel. I'm going to have it on video too. OK, meeting adjourned. | 01:04:41 | |
I. | 01:04:51 |
