So. 00:02:37
Let me see if this will come on again. 00:02:38
OK. 00:02:40
Umm, we've been using this. 00:02:41
Just under a year now this new UMM Agenda MA meeting. 00:02:44
Can the meeting management program and I thought it was past due to make sure that everybody was. 00:02:48
Logged in and was receiving their agendas in their packets. 00:02:54
Through this board portal. 00:02:59
But to show you just a couple things, if you haven't played around on it, yours looks way different than mine because I'm an admin 00:03:01
on it so. 00:03:05
I get to see everything. 00:03:09
But so you should just see your boards that you're on with. 00:03:10
But I sent you a new links. 00:03:15
Out today, if you haven't logged in, you'll go in and you'll create a log in. 00:03:17
And then the one thing I need you to do is where your name is. 00:03:22
Then you're gonna go click on your e-mail preference. Make sure it's checking this box. 00:03:27
And clicking save. 00:03:32
OK. And then you can? 00:03:35
Umm, let's see, I need to go back. 00:03:39
Bye bye. 00:03:41
Yeah. 00:03:43
OK. 00:03:44
Click Save. I'll just click Save. 00:03:45
It is not. Oh sorry I did that wrong. 00:03:50
Forward portal. There we go. 00:03:55
So what you're gonna see is like tonight's meeting. 00:03:56
If you click on that once, you're in it. 00:04:00
You'll see that the agenda is right here. You can click on any. 00:04:03
Item that you want. 00:04:07
And what's really cool about it is if you do it before the meeting, then you can make notes about things you wanna talk about. 00:04:09
To do it during the meeting, then you can make notes about things that were brought up that you want to remember. 00:04:15
Umm, these are private notes. They are not subject to reference requests, but whatever you. 00:04:21
Put in here please. Umm don't share it. 00:04:27
These are UMM unless semester South and to remember not to pray to quorum. 00:04:31
That's always something I like to push, but it's really simple. I promise this is not gonna take very long to do, but you can type 00:04:36
notes in here all you want. 00:04:41
And it'll automatically save them. 00:04:45
And you can go back. 00:04:48
With this tab here and look at anything you put notes into. 00:04:50
Umm, remind me when we have quorum. 00:04:55
Status. 00:04:59
Umm, when a chlorine acorn is three members of a board, Commission, council. 00:05:00
So where you are A5 member with two alternates, the quorum is 3. 00:05:07
OK. 00:05:13
Yeah, so. 00:05:14
When you're emailing people, don't be. 00:05:16
Be seeing, don't be umm. 00:05:19
Decline all in those. Throw that out there. You can look once the minutes are in there. I don't e-mail you the minutes, but I do. 00:05:21
Put them in there. 00:05:30
I do. Are you guys putting them in there? 00:05:32
The minutes in the portal. 00:05:34
Yeah. So you should be able to go back and find minutes and things that you can look at through the portal. 00:05:36
You can also obviously go look at the minute through the. 00:05:42
City website. But what what's fun is you can look at just straight the agenda here. 00:05:45
You got a button you can click and look at the agenda. 00:05:51
We'll just give you that. 00:05:55
And this is my first info. It opens up a new window every time which is great, but I have to remember it does that. 00:05:58
And then you can look at the full packet if you want. 00:06:04
Just like you would if you were looking at. 00:06:07
That the public website. 00:06:09
Side of it. 00:06:11
So we'll give you everything but. 00:06:12
How often do you really wanna get into that when you can do all this other stuff here? 00:06:14
Of all of your attachments. 00:06:18
With the stuff you want. 00:06:21
We'll look at the calendar. 00:06:23
Umm, there should have been attachment. OK, maybe not. 00:06:24
Right here. Oh, you have to probably download the attachment. 00:06:29
So your better bet is to go in. 00:06:33
If you wanna look at the attachments in the packet then you can go here. 00:06:39
But just make sure you're making notes. I want people to to utilize this the best. 00:06:42
As you can and make notes in here. Like I said it auto saves them so you have them. 00:06:48
But make sure you're getting in here. This is where they're sending you all your stuff. Hey, just checking in. 00:06:53
What's? What's that? 00:06:59
Don't know why that was not part of the feature. No, that's not part of the feature stuff. Team Cousin is over here doing other 00:07:02
work while I'm up here doing this. 00:07:07
I will check that later. 00:07:14
I didn't read it. 00:07:17
You get a bonus. 00:07:20
So anyway, really simple. Simple simple simple stuff. 00:07:22
OK. Just make sure you're you're getting in there. 00:07:25
Getting your e-mail preferences so that you are getting those emails because you can look at the agenda, you can look at the 00:07:29
attachments, you can make those notes in there and it saves those notes. So if you have something you wanna go back and remember. 00:07:35
So I I recommend that you umm. 00:07:41
Bring tablet, bring a laptop, something that you can. 00:07:44
Log into and access this. 00:07:48
Pretty simple. 00:07:50
Umm, pretty good. 00:07:52
The other thing I wanted to just touch base on for our. 00:07:54
Our friends that have come to the media is make sure you're doing the public side, make sure you're getting those emails from us. 00:07:58
Because, umm. 00:08:08
You never know when something's gonna get updated or special session might happen, so just go in to to Vineyard if you haven't 00:08:09
already. I know quite a few of you probably have. 00:08:15
And it's going to ask you when you're here. It's going to ask you to sign in. 00:08:21
And it's gonna ask you what subscriptions you want. 00:08:31
And you can just click on those, make sure they go black like that. 00:08:35
And whatever ones you want to get, whatever ones are available. 00:08:39
You'll get an e-mail now if we update it. We don't have to send an e-mail because I need complaints because we get too many 00:08:43
emails. 00:08:46
So, umm. 00:08:49
But pick which origin Commission do you wanna get emails about notifications that you might be interested in, and maybe someday 00:08:52
you'll wanna sit on the board of Commission. 00:08:56
You see what they're doing or what's going on and they might apply for that, so. 00:09:00
Umm, so that's it. I wanted to keep it short and sweet. Does anybody have any questions? 00:09:06
How many cities you know are using this already? Umm. 00:09:11
You know, that was year and a half, two, almost two years ago that we started looking into this, so. 00:09:16
When they gave us our stuff, I mean there were there were few, there were few, but this was my favorite. This was the easiest 1 to 00:09:22
umm to work with out of all the ones I looked at. 00:09:27
And umm, we just, we just found it gave us a lot of benefits. 00:09:32
Well, I'm seeing, uh, the public notice website compared to this because you have no obligation to do something like this. So it's 00:09:38
a great tool, yeah, to go above and beyond and make it easy for the policy Yeah, the the tool we don't, but. 00:09:45
You know, because when we were doing it just under Civic plus. 00:09:52
You know they've got a a a similar a smaller program where I have to upload the PDF. 00:09:55
Within the PDF. 00:10:01
Then we were training packets and then we were booked. Started bookmarking them and. 00:10:02
And those kinds of things. And that's a lot of work and especially if the the packet gets changed after you've got it ready. 00:10:07
Then you have to go back and change everything. This I can move things around in it. 00:10:14
I can move them to another meeting if something needs to get bumped. 00:10:19
Just like that. I mean it is so simple and so nice to use so. 00:10:23
It's a. It's a great plus for the work we did. We calculated how long it was taking. 00:10:28
Her agenda depending on the size of the agenda, the average of 16 hours. 00:10:34
Per agenda. 00:10:39
This is cut that in in more than half. 00:10:41
So it's it's a great benefit. It's great plus and I wanted you guys. 00:10:43
Also benefit from it, from what we offer with it. 00:10:48
So get in there. Take note. 00:10:52
Write notes. Remind yourself what you wanted to talk about a different item. 00:10:55
And and really utilize it. OK Oh look, there's a new code right there. Or getting back with me on something else. 00:11:00
Sorry I can't post the notifications off but. 00:11:08
Anyway, anymore clinic? Any more questions? 00:11:12
OK. Thank you for letting me come, you guys. 00:11:16
I appreciate it. 00:11:19
And we'll do this for all the other boards and commissions. 00:11:20
This will shut off. Thank you for that. 00:11:24

All right, we're going to move on to the public comment period. So this is the time for anyone who'd like to make, uh, comments 00:11:43

From my mouth. 00:13:18
So. 00:13:18

But the rest of the year? 00:13:36
On that first and 3rd and it's one of those once again, if we have a lack of agenda items cancel a meeting everyone tomorrow we 00:13:38
might have to call for special session. But this is kind of the going what people can expect for our our Planning Commission for 00:13:42
the the following year. 00:13:46
How do we feel about moving up to Saturday morning? 00:13:52
I think that our bylaw actually require it. I have the worst of it. Serious. 00:13:55
Umm OK, no issues. Umm, only quick question. 00:14:05
So if we we had talked before about having a special meeting with the City Council and a combined. 00:14:09
Meeting umm would that show up? 00:14:15
Would would that just be considered a special meeting? Yeah. So on that agenda software will label it special session. Even site 00:14:18
was labeled as as special sessions. We were meeting on the 4th. 00:14:22
Yeah. So anything outside of this calendar will be labeled. 00:14:27

I will consider that. 00:16:34
I, in turn, would nominate you as Vice Chair. 00:16:38
OK. 00:16:42
I can accept that. 00:16:43
And then you would umm, if you both would accept it, then you make a umm, somebody just make a motion a second. You do the second 00:16:45
on that. 00:16:48
So you made the motion or I guess? 00:16:52
You make a motion for both. I will second it or. 00:16:54
Really bad minutes wise for me to make that motion. It might be good because that was the nomination. Both got nominated and now 00:16:57
it makes an official motion. 00:17:01
If I make a note, uh, a motion for Nathan Steel to be chair. 00:17:06
And myself to be vice chair. 00:17:11
And I'll second that, OK. 00:17:14
Uh, and then this is a roll call vote, correct? 00:17:15
I don't think it matters. Alright, so all in favor. 00:17:19
All right, all right. OK, great. Unanimously. 00:17:23
All right, we'll move to item 5.5, Grocery store site plan amendment and conditional use permit. 00:17:27
Uh, and Bronson will be presenting. I'll give you a brief just, uh, presentation here. Uh, but we do have Bronson here, sorry. 00:17:33
I didn't mean to steal your Thunder there. 00:17:41
You know, he mentioned he was planning that. 00:17:43
So as you, as you can recall last year, we we have the site plan in front of the Planning Commission for approval. I think we even 00:17:45
did show the drive through just of what it could look like. 00:17:49
But at that time it was not permitted you. 00:17:53
Umm, no drivers allowed in the downtown umm, so they went. We went through a zoning tech environment last year with the planning 00:17:55
mission. City Council to change that to allow for. 00:18:00
Umm, this type of drive through service for a pharmacy has a very specific standards of of the queuing length of a width of. 00:18:05
Connection enhancements and safety measures. Umm. 00:18:13
Umm which they have met all those standards with this design so. 00:18:16
Umm, with, I can let Bronson, uh, come up if you guys do have any specific questions. They did provide an attractive impact study 00:18:20
as some people did request that to show kind of what this would look like if there's a queuing problem, umm, and, and what they 00:18:25
would do to address that. So. 00:18:29
Go ahead, Johnson. OK, I'll jump up. 00:18:40
Uh, Bronson Patton with the developer. 00:18:43
Umm, yeah. So I guess just kind of piggybacking on, uh. 00:18:46
Uh, what? Cash just kinda ended with her. 00:18:49
Umm. 00:18:52
So in the zoning text amendment that we did to allow the drive through. 00:18:53
It called out for three. 00:18:57
Stacking lanes so we have. 00:18:59
In one of the exhibits, I don't know if you can find it, Umm. 00:19:02
Cash, but it shows a 60 foot length, which I think is also in the the text amendment. 00:19:05
And then we are a little bit longer than that, but you'll see a 60 foot dimension on one of the exhibits. Hopefully it's in your 00:19:11
packet. 00:19:14
But we extend a little bit beyond that. 00:19:19
Umm and then if that queuing. 00:19:21
Does fill up. 00:19:25
We'll make available some some waiting stalls over. 00:19:27
In the parking lot. 00:19:31
And then umm. 00:19:33
There would be a text that would go out and say your prescription is ready to pick up through the drive through and they could 00:19:35
circle back around and come through the drive through again. 00:19:39
Yeah, sorry. I can quickly show the elevations as well. They did submit. 00:19:45
Just to show. Oh, hang on, I'm just gonna zoom in. Sorry. You mentioned something about triple. 00:19:49
3 something. 00:19:55
033 uh. 00:19:57
Yeah, like 3 stalls of waiting. 00:19:59
For the window. 00:20:02
So. 00:20:03
And here you can see in these. 00:20:04
So let me kind of explain this elevation and then maybe we can flip back to the plan. 00:20:06
So I think it's the the span that's labeled. Is that H in that diamond? 00:20:11
Yeah, HH right here. Yeah. So that is where the window sits. 00:20:18
For the pharmacy, like the lower for lower windows, one of those will open. 00:20:22
Umm and then from that .60 feet back is that measurement? 00:20:27
And then there's additional, you know a longer vehicle gets in there. I think it ended up being 75 feet provided. 00:20:32
Umm, and then if if those. 00:20:42
3. 00:20:45
Queuing stalls. 00:20:46
Back up, you know, we want to avoid people parking on the sidewalk and on the bike lane. 00:20:47
Umm, the pharmacist or the person in the window would ask the person to pull through and go wait in the parking lot so their 00:20:53
prescription is ready to pick up and then they. 00:20:58
Come back in. 00:21:03
To the queueing plan. 00:21:04
OK, so I'm thinking. 00:21:07
I'm still having a hard time envisioning it, but uh, so maybe flip back to the plan view. So keep this in mind. So if you're 00:21:09
seeing these. 00:21:12
Like look at the the the column fan. 00:21:16
And just remember where these windows are at on H and if we flip to the site plan. 00:21:20
Where those you can kind of see the. 00:21:27
The building projecting out into the column space. 00:21:30
That's where the window would be on the far, uh, east side. So on the right hand side. Yep. OK, one window. 00:21:33
Umm, not similar. Well, to a bank where three people can be serviced at one time, right? Yeah, it's only one person at the window 00:21:40
at a time. Early on we did explore doing a tube. 00:21:46
We we still only have this amount of space, but we would. 00:21:52
We would bring people in the opposite direction and that was problematic, we felt like. 00:21:55
It's more typical for a pharmacy to be against the window, the driver to be against the window. So we reversed it, took the tube 00:22:01
out and put them up against the window. 00:22:05
The driver side up against the window. 00:22:10
Yeah. 00:22:13
Umm, some of the other things that we did is like cash, if you could zoom in there. 00:22:15
Umm, the surfacing is different. 00:22:19
When like, the sidewalk is umm, labeled #21 and we've changed the. 00:22:23
The paving type in the sidewalk as a visual queue. 00:22:29
A tactile to pedestrians walking on a sidewalk. 00:22:32
And then we did something similar on the bike lane, which is. 00:22:37
Label #20. 00:22:40
So we're changing up the surface where the car passes through those. 00:22:42
The the bike lane and the sidewalk and then. 00:22:46
When it when the car exits. 00:22:49
Uh, we did that also on the. 00:22:52
On the entrance into the parking lot, over there on the right. 00:22:55
And then this loading. 00:22:59
Yep, right there and then the loading for the trucks when they're pulling in. 00:23:00
We did the same thing. 00:23:05
Just as like 2 for the pedestrians and bicyclists to know that they're crossing through. 00:23:07
OK, thank you to the password. 00:23:13
Umm. 00:23:18
There were some comments from staff that we kind of fixed. 00:23:20
Umm, on the sidewalk section, what's labeled as #21? 00:23:24
The the vehicular path. 00:23:29
It like there's like that jog, we're gonna take that that corner out and just have the arc. 00:23:32
Continue around. 00:23:38
If I don't know if I explained that very well, but yeah, I think I'm not sure is. 00:23:41
For covering it up there rather than a square is gonna be Yep, it'll be purple there. 00:23:45
Yep. 00:23:51
There is between the. 00:23:53
The pharmacy queuing area there is a vertical curve that's separating. 00:23:55
You know that it'll be elevated from the sidewalk elevation. 00:24:00
So that the you know the cars won't be able to. 00:24:05
So you have to jump a curve to get across. 00:24:07
The sidewalk. 00:24:10
In that section. 00:24:11
And then the curve ends when. 00:24:14
You know when they come in and when they come out where those pavement changes are happening. 00:24:16
Yeah. Any, any questions? 00:24:27
To me. Oh, go ahead. No, I I want to acknowledge that. 00:24:31
And thank you for your creativity with it. And that is a tough site. 00:24:34
Because really the only place to locate this. 00:24:38
For a drive through is having access that's on the north side but East and West road which requires crossing traffic to access. 00:24:43
I am fully acknowledged the difficulty with that. 00:24:52
My question and I don't know if it's gonna necessarily for you or for planners. 00:24:55
Did we ever consider or do we? 00:24:59
Just prohibit. 00:25:02
Accessing all of this from the. 00:25:05
Parking lot itself. 00:25:07
So. 00:25:09
Some people can just come from the drive through rather than potentially queuing or anything. I'm just curious if our code 00:25:13
prohibits anything like that. 00:25:17
That might even be a question for nothing, because you have. 00:25:22
Parking lot exit right here that we've done kind of creating this. 00:25:25
Area of conflict between the drive through exit and and the people exiting the parking lot. And we did discuss it in our in the, 00:25:29
in the site plan and I, I think so having them exit out in the parking lot seems like that could potentially be a possibility, but 00:25:35
having them enter in from the parking lot seem problematic because it puts you in kind of a reverse umm. 00:25:41
Position with the backing tube. 00:25:48
Umm, and so that that, sorry. 00:25:50
If you pull into the driveway going to the West and you're serving for the 19 two the air tube like bank seller. 00:25:55
Because you're now the driver facing on the left side in the. 00:26:02
Front side on the right side. Got it, Got it. 00:26:05
We, we, uh, one of the other challenges too, of, of this particular layout and being on the South side, this is really the only 00:26:08
side of the grocery store we can send services into, Yeah. 00:26:14
The east elevation is. 00:26:20
You know, really nice elevation that we don't wanna be sending like power into that that side of the grocery store. So it's coming 00:26:22
in from the South. 00:26:26
And then we have residential. 00:26:31
Can't be building on the north and the West, so we can't really have. 00:26:33
Services coming in from that side, so. 00:26:38
The South side kinda takes the brunt. 00:26:40
Of all of the the. 00:26:42
The water, sewer, power, everything's coming in from this. 00:26:44
Kinda narrow. 00:26:50
Yeah. 00:26:51
Side of the building. 00:26:52
Yeah. 00:26:54
Can we go over the traffic analysis? 00:26:58
Yeah. 00:27:01
Umm. 00:27:03
Who believes? Oh no, that's not it's not going up. There we go. 00:27:05
Soon it was performed by UH Hale. 00:27:09
Engineering umm, which they're a recital firm in the area. We we use them pretty frequently. 00:27:12
Umm, and the things that just step out and you can probably have a better, you know, understanding of, of this, but. 00:27:18
Essentially they they find that umm. 00:27:24
Umm, the queueing defenses adequate for a pharmaceutical need. 00:27:26
Umm and that there is access to the drive through, although once the. 00:27:29
Going back to this image here. 00:27:35
Once this intersection here blocks off. 00:27:38
It will create a little bit, you know, people are gonna have to go up to the the square about in order to get back to the 00:27:41
pharmacy. 00:27:44
I don't know if I did that just a second zoom out instead. 00:27:48
So I'll. 00:27:52
Plead ignorance here. Never heard the term square of that. You turn in an intersection that's disappeared. Just kind of like a 00:27:53
large uh. 00:27:58
Roundabout, that's part of the problem on it. It's one of the problem that's blocked. I function like a roundabout, but it happens 00:28:02
to be square. Yeah, you you can go drive through it, right? 00:28:07
Yeah, you can go drive through right now if you want. Brought the name that we were. 00:28:11
So yeah, essentially the like it's more of a rectangular ball, but. 00:28:18
The report says that people to access it, once this is blocked off, they're going to have to go up to the square about and 00:28:22
essentially put EU turn coming back down Main Street to take a right. 00:28:26
Yeah, or they're gonna have to go all the way back around this way. Yeah, well. 00:28:31
Right now that seems crazy intimidating. 00:28:36
Of like, why would we create all of these things? 00:28:39
This is at build out. 00:28:43
Alright. 00:28:45
Ten years plus in the future, yeah, That intersection doesn't get closed off, OK. 00:28:46
I mean, it all depends on how quickly we build and. 00:28:51
We're projecting we wouldn't be closing that offer. 00:28:54
I think like 10 plus years, Yeah, I'm just trying to remember. 00:28:59
What life was like 10 years ago and I did not use Amazon nearly as much as I used that. And I can only imagine what technology is 00:29:02
gonna be different 10 years from now when it comes to delivery of everything. 00:29:09
And so. 00:29:15
That doesn't concern me as much because I have a feeling that the strategy that's proposed right now will likely change 10 years 00:29:16
from now to reflect whatever the circumstances are at that point. Well, you also gotta imagine too, with a pharmacy, typically you 00:29:21
have a set pharmacy that that like you have the, the pharmacy that you go to. So the hope is that maybe the first time it's 00:29:27
confusing, but once your pattern is established and you know, around 10 years from now, I'm getting my meds from a pharmaceutical 00:29:32
robot. 00:29:37
I, I'm a A it's really hard for me to say 10 years from now this is what it's going to be because. 00:29:44
The the advancements and just the change in behaviors impossible to prove. 00:29:51
I guess I guess my point is the pharmacy is a little different than others. 00:29:56
Type drive through uses. 00:29:59
Umm, where you typically are gonna have like an established, umm, pharmacy that, that you're gonna be getting your prescriptions 00:30:00
to. And the other thing I did wanna bring up is this map showing kind of the existing grid network. 00:30:06
Umm and and soon to be bridge that will be constructed this year right here. 00:30:11
Uh, over the vineyard connector and so residents who, who do live, you know, maybe in the, the western part of the vineyard, they 00:30:16
would be able to go up 300 W. 00:30:20
Get onto this bridge and they would be right there at that grocery store. Just probably as simple as a lot quicker than going 00:30:24
through Main Street and over. 00:30:28
So you know that that's also another viable option of of accessing Skype rather than, you know, going through, Oh, this is that 00:30:32
square about. You can kind of see a better picture up here. Got it. So, umm, is there anyone from health engineering here? 00:30:38
To speak to us now. 00:30:45
Not not lastly joined online. 00:30:47
OK. 00:30:50
Yeah, umm, and maybe we just didn't request it. 00:30:51
My only concern with it is it doesn't necessarily give a recommendation or opinion. 00:30:55
As much as it just. 00:31:01
In in conclusion, let me summarize what it is. 00:31:03
Umm, which is great. It's great that the engineer was able to say yes, there's storage for three vehicles, and yes, it will always 00:31:06
be. 00:31:10
Accessible. 00:31:15
That's what our code requires and so I can't really make any argument beyond what the code. 00:31:16
Requires there umm. 00:31:21
It would have been nice if we had a traffic engineer that said. 00:31:24
This is what I would recommend we do. Does that make sense? 00:31:27
Sharing that. 00:31:31
Umm, yeah, and that that this is one of those things too. I mean from the. 00:31:33
Planning Commission, if you feel like you need more information, you know, I wouldn't say continue, but there, there are times 00:31:37
where you know that that is always an option, Uh. 00:31:41
Umm, being a conditional use permit, so you have a minimum requirement, you can take those, but if you identify some sort of 00:31:46
detrimental, umm, impact that the use is gonna generate, that's where you, you do have the ability to use conditions, umm, to, to 00:31:52
help mitigate any of those. And so if you're able to identify something that could be conditioned upon the approval to mitigate a 00:31:58
potential concerns and then we could, we could consider as well. Yeah, I'm totally gonna and I. 00:32:04
I mean, I'd love to hear everyone else's, umm, I, I don't know if necessarily there's more information that is needed. I believe 00:32:11
when we were discussing it before and we asked for this, the concern was just the amount of backing up that would occur. 00:32:18
And you're gonna end up with not only the crosswalk block, but then a line coming down of, you know, people. 00:32:25
Turning right to turn onto the streets and then go in. 00:32:31
The analysis it doesn't really cover to the engineers think based off of the traffic patterns is that going to occur and then with 00:32:34
three extra calls be enough. So that's discussed, you know, with the yeah, we generic, I mean we talked about it, we talked, I 00:32:39
gave them the context of the meeting. 00:32:45
And the conditions that were. 00:32:51
Added in the text amendment. I gave them those we talked through a study. 00:32:54
Several. 00:32:58
Grocery store pharmacies in our area. 00:32:59
They even reached outside of our area up in I think Heber, where there's a. 00:33:03
Uh, we use with a a pharmacy. 00:33:08
So they evaluated several and they came back and felt like the three. 00:33:11
Queueing stalls that were identified in the code were adequate for this store as well. I I think that solution does work. 00:33:15
Because if the pharmacist observes and sees that the queue is gonna get bad, they say OK, while we're preparing it, just go on 00:33:23
parking the parking lot. 00:33:27
You know and and we'll let you know when it's ready rather than you waiting in the drive through. 00:33:32
I mean, I hate to always compare it to drive through restaurants. 00:33:37
But every drafty restaurant. Oh, your fries aren't ready. I'm not gonna have you wait here and hold up traffic. Go up to this 00:33:41
spot. 00:33:45
And we'll let you know when it's ready or we'll come and bring it up to you. I feel like it's just using that same strategy, 00:33:49
right? Exactly, exactly. 00:33:52
Yeah. So that for me, I understand how they address. 00:33:58
Thank you. Yes, you're there. Something to, uh, consider as well. So possibly. 00:34:02
Convention about this having three parking spaces that could serve. 00:34:08
Umm like overflow or peak hour stuff? Umm and they can get text messages. 00:34:12
That would be an appropriate condition of of approval having a minimum of three parking spaces that can be dedicated to umm the 00:34:18
the the pharmacy drive through. 00:34:22
Yeah. And especially if you're willing to do that, yeah. 00:34:28
Yeah, that's in. 00:34:31
It's it's yeah. But I, I, I would, it's just a. 00:34:33
When you make the the motion, I that that would be a good condition to attach to it. Mm-hmm. 00:34:37
Pressure that you're getting from the tractor in there. 00:34:45
Any other? 00:34:47
Question. 00:34:49
Mm-hmm. Yeah. So we're gonna open it up to public comment. 00:34:51
No. 00:34:58
So just come forward and state your name. 00:35:00
Diarrhea. Correct. I, I remember. Thank you, Mr. Brown. Everyone else will. 00:35:08
Uh, let's take a sorry, Evan's still a resident. I just have a question about the pay paving. 00:35:13
Are they going to be brick pavers? 00:35:20
That delineates those different areas. 00:35:23
Have you seen the roundabouts on Center St. and how they're all cracking up? 00:35:27
So I'll, I'll write down the questions and then we can follow up. So yeah, that's what I want to know. What? 00:35:31
What the paving is gonna be like and how they're gonna mitigate. 00:35:36
The tracking and the crumbling. 00:35:40
Because of free sauce situation. Thank you. 00:35:43
All right. 00:35:47
Kerry Ewing from the Village, you said? Carrie. Carrie. Carrie. Sorry. 00:35:55
I have an architectural background. This is sort of confusing for me. 00:36:00
It's like I'm not sure what the question is. How do you? 00:36:05
Is that not the front of the store or is the front of the store in front? 00:36:11
Parking lot and how do you get in? 00:36:15
Can you just go in and get your prescription? 00:36:17
OK. 00:36:20
So. 00:36:22
You want you want me to ask them to give a more overview of the structural layout of the store and. 00:36:23
OK, so there the windows are where on the left hand no. 00:36:28
This is where my cursor is at. Is where the drive through would be located in your pharmacy. 00:36:34
The front elevation to the east. This is looking WI got a front elevation so this drive through. 00:36:39
It's on the side. 00:36:45
On the South side, OK. 00:36:49
Yeah. And and so you're not going to you're not going to tell residents I'm trying to make. 00:36:52
Question. 00:36:57
Yeah, I can have residence. 00:36:59
That they go through and. 00:37:01
And then have to leave. 00:37:05
And then drive around. 00:37:08
And they'll when they text them where they I don't understand. 00:37:10
This is the first time I've seen it. I couldn't buy it. 00:37:17
OK. So we gotta, we have Bronson when he comes back, explain the flow of the child pattern kind of the customer experience. Is 00:37:22
that kinda what you're asking? 00:37:26
Yeah, because I'm. 00:37:30
Well, we'll ask him to come and explain it and then I'll open public comment back up again after you understand it more and then 00:37:34
we can address. 00:37:38
North SE West. 00:37:42
But there it is, there it is OK. 00:37:46
Huh. 00:37:49
All right. Well, did I give you any questions at all or was I just up here fumbling? No, we'll have some more presentation done on 00:37:51
it and then if it doesn't answer it. 00:37:56
I think you're saying most of the grocery stores that I go to, you go in and get your prescription. 00:38:01
Perhaps get a little talk to that. 00:38:10
That could that could be a question. 00:38:11
Can I manage? 00:38:14
OK. 00:38:16
Thank you, Terry. 00:38:21
Uh, any other comments from the public? 00:38:23
OK. 00:38:26
Russell, 11, of the Villains. 00:38:32
Umm, no questions, just. I think it's just a case of trying to cram too much into too little. 00:38:34
Thanks. Uh, and it's probably too late to do anything here and there on now, but for the future development. 00:38:39
I mean we got trucks backing and backing up, backing a public St. and back in. 00:38:47
That's not right. 00:38:52
We've got a a farmer drive through that's gonna be hard to access, accessible for half the people depending on which direction 00:38:53
they're coming from. 00:38:57
Umm, you've got a resident right next residence right next to the store. 00:39:02
So if the trucks come in at night, you can hear the beeping going on. Beep, beep beep. 00:39:06
Going on at night, waking up residents, it's just. 00:39:11
I just see it being it's all about the money. Let's grab as much as we can and. 00:39:14
And, uh, I think it's just, uh. 00:39:19
It's just we need to consider quality of life. I really feel like quality of life is being neglected. 00:39:22
Uh, with a lot of what's going on. And so that's my comment. Thank you. Thank you, Russell. 00:39:27
Karen Cornelius Abilities. 00:39:44
I think for the casual. 00:39:47
Renewing a prescription and picking it up. 00:39:49
That might be OK. 00:39:52
But if you've got somebody in the car with you. 00:39:53
That just has surgery that you need the medication to take home with you. 00:39:56
And they tell you that you're gonna go sit in the parking lot and then you've got to drive around again and find yourself back in 00:40:00
the queue. 00:40:04
To get the prescription would be a nightmare. 00:40:08
I say forget it. 00:40:11
So I can walk into the store and get what we need. 00:40:13
And if we need something sooner than that, which is a different pharmacist, but I think. 00:40:16
That's just a nightmare. I think Russ has it right. We are just planning so much in to so little space. 00:40:21
That we are ignoring the quality of life. 00:40:29
Thanks. 00:40:31
Thank you, Karen. 00:40:33
Hello, go ahead and close, uh, public comment. 00:40:38
Uh, Bronson, would you wanna come up and respond to uh. 00:40:43
Let's go in order. 00:40:47
With the, uh, question about paving, uh, and bricks and how we're gonna avoid cracking. 00:40:49
Yeah, so the center St. 00:40:54
Paving is I believe it's a stamped concrete. 00:40:57
That's painted. 00:41:01
These would be actually unit pavers. 00:41:02
And the concrete pavers that are individually set. 00:41:05
For materials different, they won't they won't crack. 00:41:08
Umm. 00:41:11
And. 00:41:14
I don't, I don't know which. 00:41:15
Favorite style? We have selected for this off the top of my head, but we're using. 00:41:17
We're using unit pavers all over the project. 00:41:22
So this wouldn't be the only spot where they're they're used. 00:41:26
Umm, so you know, long term maintenance I think is. 00:41:30
A lot better on a unit paver than a than a stamped concrete. 00:41:34
Umm, as far as the the question on circulation. 00:41:38
Umm, there. 00:41:43
There is an option to go inside the store to the pharmacy, so you could always pick up your. 00:41:45
Your prescription through the store. 00:41:51
The drive through is just. 00:41:54
For convenience. 00:41:56
Umm. 00:41:57
A lot of times when, at least in my experience of picking up prescriptions. 00:41:59
Usually the doctor will call it in. 00:42:04
And then you're notified when they're ready. 00:42:06
Umm, and that's when you would go to go pick them up is when they're ready. So they're not actually U. 00:42:09
There are situations where you take the prescription I guess and give it to them and they have to fill it. 00:42:15
And there's that, that time period, but. 00:42:20
That's where I think we would ask people to go park in the parking lot and then come back into the queue. 00:42:23
But the idea is that that queue would be moving pretty quickly. 00:42:28
It's just. 00:42:31
People aren't sitting in the queue in those three stalls. 00:42:33
Waiting for a prescription to be filled. They're going because they they know it's already done and they're just going to pick it 00:42:37
up. 00:42:40
So I don't. 00:42:44
I don't imagine the queue link would be. 00:42:45
Very long in there, but there there is the option to go inside the store too to pick it up. 00:42:48
And I've I've had the experience for. 00:42:53
Time to pick it up. They're filling it, it's not ready yet. So you go in the store and you. 00:42:56
Figure out a way to. 00:43:02
Half the time until it's ready. 00:43:04
Umm, could you explain to just the flow of the traffic where they get the parking? 00:43:06
Umm yeah, so umm. 00:43:12
Do I need them out? 00:43:16
Yeah, OK. It's OK. So if you come in from. 00:43:19
From the the West is left, north is up. 00:43:24
So if you're coming in from the left and you're from the West and you enter into the drive through. 00:43:28
You would enter the queue there. You'd be up to the window. Yep, keep going. All right, a little bit on the hand, Yep. So the 00:43:33
windows kind of right in there. 00:43:37
Then you'd exit. 00:43:41
Out that way and if you were asked to go and wait, you would go into the parking lot. 00:43:42
Waiting most stalls there. 00:43:48
When you're notified, it's ready to come back out and go back into the queue. 00:43:50
Where they'll be signing? Is there a discussion of signage for the dedicated parking and wayfinding? I mean that that's a 00:43:54
condition of approval that that you, you could attach to that, that that would very clearly, umm. 00:44:00
Be in appropriate condition if if you search it. 00:44:06
And then? 00:44:13
And Bronson. And that for the question too. If, if that's where, how they wanna go with it. Umm. 00:44:14
Do you have like, is that something that you look at like a minimum number of stalls that would need to be umm to accommodate 00:44:19
overflow or did the traffic impact study mentioned how many? It did not. I just said that they could use some parking. Stalls 00:44:25
could also be reserved for the pharmacy. Skewing demand is higher than anticipated. 00:44:31
I mean, if you preserve some, at least that would make sure they're not getting umm, overrun like just a general grocery. 00:44:37
For a little bit of context too, when we went through the the grocery store site plan approval. 00:44:43
And the parking lot was looked at. The parking lot is. 00:44:49
Over double the amount of stalls that's needed. 00:44:52
For the grocery store. 00:44:56
And so I'm not too worried. I mean, we can definitely designate yourself for the pharmacy, for the waiting. 00:44:58
But we do have. 00:45:04
A lot of parking in there but. 00:45:05
There is no harm in just designating some of the fourth pharmacy and. 00:45:08
If you wanna give a a quantity, we can also. 00:45:12
You know. 00:45:15
I don't know if you could put like a time condition of like let's evaluate this for a year and then we'll. 00:45:18
Solidify what that number is. 00:45:23
After you know of operations but. 00:45:26
I think it's gonna be in the pharmacy's best interest to make sure they're reserving enough spaces based on their experience. 00:45:28
Umm. 00:45:35
And then maybe if we can put back to the the elevation. 00:45:36
We can talk through that. 00:45:40
So, uh. 00:45:43
So yeah, what what you guys were explaining this is the front elevation is. 00:45:45
So your. 00:45:49
Standing like in the parking lot, looking back. 00:45:50
Toward the West. 00:45:54
Kind of confusing. This is the east elevation. 00:45:56
It's the elevation spacing you, but we're looking at it. 00:45:59
Looking West. 00:46:03
If that makes sense. Yeah, yeah. Let's keep it simple. So we're looking from the parking lot back at the front of the store. 00:46:04
And the larger volume is the main entrance like where it steps up. 00:46:12
The center of that is where the entrance is into the grocery store. The pharmacy will be on the on the far left of the grocery 00:46:16
store. 00:46:20
And so the drive through you're kind of looking at. 00:46:25
The car would be facing us, sitting in the at the window of the pharmacy. Could there be a possibility of doing a door? 00:46:28
That is more like that's closer to the pharmacy. 00:46:36
So you've seen that Macy's will have like the words of that, like it's like multiple entries. Yeah, we we talked about that, but 00:46:40
because of the merchandising. 00:46:44
It doesn't work out very good to put the door over there. 00:46:49
Umm, so then if you go to the next elevation there? 00:46:53
Yeah. So this is. 00:46:56
The South elevation, we're standing. 00:46:58
Like in the street, looking back at the grocery stores from the South. 00:47:00
We're looking north. 00:47:04
And. 00:47:06
You can kind of see that larger volume of the main entry, like 4 year piece, you can see it sticking up and out. 00:47:08
We're looking at the side of it now. 00:47:15
And then the lower windows. 00:47:17
Or the pharmacy windows one of those four. 00:47:21
Will be the actual window that opens. I'm guessing it's one of the. 00:47:24
Center too, and we will be looking at the side of a car. 00:47:27
Yeah. 00:47:33
Umm, cash? Was there, uh, an auto turn exhibit in the packet that shows how the card is turned through that? Maybe that would be 00:47:35
helpful. 00:47:40
Was there a discussion ever? Because if if there are gonna be cars having to pull out, go and then go back into the parking lot, 00:47:46
they're still doing this Weird kinda U-turn. 00:47:50
Was there a discussion of having a a dual option where one they could still pull out? But could they just? 00:47:55
Go straight. 00:48:02
To then. 00:48:04
Yeah, we we actually talked about that. 00:48:07
Yeah, yeah. What is there? Is there anything blocking? Uh, yeah. There's some utilities there. Like you zoom in, there's a box. 00:48:11
I mean, I was just posing it. Yeah, we we definitely looked at that. We looked at moving the box to see if that the drive through 00:48:19
could pull straight out. 00:48:22
And join the. 00:48:26
Entrance and exit of the parking lot. 00:48:29
But the traffic? 00:48:31
Study on that. 00:48:33
Show that it was too conflicted yeah and and it could end up being that the stacking would be worse you know like cars wouldn't be 00:48:34
able to get out because. 00:48:38
Of the pharmacy queuing because they're waiting for. 00:48:42
Cars to come out of the parking. 00:48:46
Your cash. You wanna send this auto turn exhibit to you real quick. 00:48:50
So this this took uh. 00:48:58
What does it uh. 00:49:00
Uh, server A 2018 Suburban. 00:49:02
Through there and it shows you kind of the path, the will path. 00:49:06
In blue, so maybe that'll be helpful. 00:49:11
Now to reiterate. 00:49:14
We've already provided above and beyond the parking standard. 00:49:17
Right, OK. 00:49:20
It was there any consideration in moving the driveway? 00:49:22
Do you know the parking? Yeah. So yeah, we lose a few parking spaces. 00:49:27
But if we move the driveway a little bit to the right. 00:49:32
Then does that potentially address the conflict of? 00:49:36
Umm umm. 00:49:41
Not well, it does lengthen. 00:49:43
And then? 00:49:47
Yeah. 00:49:48
We're just thinking that louder. 00:49:51
The thing we did look at that we didn't look at that scenario if we moved, uh. 00:49:53
Entrance into the parking lot further what we. 00:49:57
The reason why it landed where it did? 00:49:59
Was because of proximity to the intersection. 00:50:01
And so I kind of put it that way the. 00:50:05
To travel past that. 00:50:09
That we're also looking at, like coming in front of the store. 00:50:11
So then, uh, I guess if you were exiting to come back through the parking and then exit? 00:50:14
Was also just, you know, extending the length of. 00:50:21
Uh, uh, potential stacking through there. One of the other kind of problems is. 00:50:24
It's a super short throat. 00:50:30
You know, from the street back into the parking lot. 00:50:33
Umm, and that, that's more of the problem with the cars coming out of the. 00:50:36
Of the pharmacy and joining. 00:50:41
That area is just such a short. 00:50:43
Throat, right? 00:50:47
OK. 00:50:49
Any other? 00:50:53
Things on your list, Chris. 00:50:54
Umm. 00:50:57
You said, and you did say there's an internal they can just go inside and have their prescription inside, uh. 00:51:00
I think the other two were more common, not questions. 00:51:05
OK, alright. 00:51:09
Umm. 00:51:10
All right, I. 00:51:12
Gonna open this back up to uh, public comment. Were there any other comments based off of that explanation and walk through? 00:51:14
And because you. 00:51:23
Have any? 00:51:25
Yeah, yeah. Do you have a question that you wanted to ask now? OK. Yep, I opened it back up. 00:51:27
State your name again. 00:51:33
How many square feet is this grocery store? 00:51:39
And because I know there's a calculator for figuring out parking spaces. 00:51:45
So. 00:51:54
See that and then my understanding is that for parking stacking. 00:51:56
It's 5 vehicles, not 3. 00:52:02
Maybe that's just Salt Lake. 00:52:07
County that I think it supplies pretty much across everywhere. 00:52:09
So that's. 00:52:14
Question too, because, you know, we have parking problems. 00:52:16
Didn't you hold on? 00:52:19
So I can't I can't count them. 00:52:25
I know there's calculator to figure it out. 00:52:30
I I think umm. 00:52:33
Nathan had asked a question that meets the existing requirement. So the three is what was in the standard and then? 00:52:34
Uh, requirement for stacking I think is what we, we had to meet. It was 60 feet and they've done 75. 00:52:42
And then they, uh, allocated up to three. We could discuss a bit more of dedicated spaces than for. 00:52:47
Overflow, but with the existing requirements, the applicant spent what's required there according to the current standard. 00:52:54
And and maybe just for clarification, this site plan has been approved. We are just talking about the the drive through aspects of 00:53:01
coming back for an amendment. 00:53:04
Yeah. So, yeah, that's what I think is when you're asking about the size of the grocery store and the parking, they they've 00:53:09
already met this and we did that calculation of of how many square feet equals how many parking stalls and they were well above 00:53:13
that that requirement. 00:53:17
So hopefully that helps. I, I don't, I want to stay in the grocery stores 40,000 square feet Bronson around there. 00:53:21
41. 00:53:28
42,000 square feet. 00:53:29
So yeah, you're, you're absolutely right that there's this parking minimum calculation that we did do and they are above that 00:53:31
center. 00:53:33
Yep. 00:53:37
Yeah, so the the Planning Commission tonight is just approving. 00:53:38
For making a decision on only the drive through the the site plan was approved. I wanna say in like October or November, even 00:53:42
before that. 00:53:46
And they're already starting construction. 00:53:50
That's my other question. 00:53:55
You don't approve it, then what? 00:53:56
All right. 00:54:00
Huh. We'll close public comment. Ross, did you have text? Thank you. 00:54:02
Final comments and response I I'm surprised it didn't come up, but the grocery store did start. 00:54:07
Construction, like Cash said. So we're, we're tracking, uh, our schedule to be done in November. 00:54:13
Umm. 00:54:21
A lot of like what's been done so far is some of the underground. 00:54:23
Uh, utility work. 00:54:26
And all of the site pad prep, if you go out there today, you'll see that there's a. 00:54:28
The construction fence is up. 00:54:33
The next subcontractors will mobilize. 00:54:35
On the 27th. 00:54:38
Is that Monday? 00:54:40
27th. 00:54:41
Whatever day it is, the 27th so. 00:54:43
We should start seeing, you know, a lot more action happening. 00:54:46
On site but umm sorry, what? Plans to be on the 27th. 00:54:50
The next subcontractors will mobilize on site. So like excavator coming in to dig. 00:54:55
For the Foundation. 00:55:00
Umm. 00:55:02
A lot of the materials are are being ordered right now, so. 00:55:04
Umm, we should start seeing like the in the next couple months that we'll actually see the grocery store going vertical and. 00:55:07
It'll be exciting. 00:55:17
Umm, there will be a little, uh. 00:55:19
Uh, ceremonial event on the 11th. 00:55:21
Umm, it's just a smaller kind of photo op of. 00:55:25
Like the grocery store is under construction. There's probably gonna be. 00:55:28
A press release around that time. 00:55:32
On on Bella's grocery store and then. 00:55:35
Uh, there will be. 00:55:38
Uh, some kind of grand opening event? 00:55:40
They will announce. 00:55:43
As we get closer. 00:55:45
Yeah, we're super excited. 00:55:47
OK. Thank you. Thank you. 00:55:49
All right. 00:55:51
I have one confirm and then a few comments. 00:55:53
Umm, if we're. 00:55:57
We're closing public comment now. We can all speak, OK? 00:55:59
My only real concern is the right turn. Umm. 00:56:02
We talked about it really briefly. Could you put the exhibit of the? 00:56:06
Uh, suburban. 00:56:10
Turning radius. 00:56:12
Umm OK, that unfortunately doesn't show what my only concern. 00:56:14
I'm going here. 00:56:22
Need to turn in. 00:56:23
I'm bold and nervous about like an off to power scenario where we're gonna do A7 point turn. 00:56:25
OK, in order to get in. 00:56:33
That's really my only concern with this layout. I would have hoped that. 00:56:35
That is the kind of stuff that I usually like to see with traffic engineer reports to say, yeah, even with the largest of cars, a 00:56:40
limousine could make that turn. 00:56:44
Here. 00:56:50
The 2018 Suburban is awesome if it's going at it straight. 00:56:52
So I don't want to hold out to any approvals for it. 00:56:57
Display alert. 00:57:01
Alert I'm going to, uh, move to approve it, but I'm. 00:57:02
So I'm thinking of adding a condition. 00:57:06
That we can just prove that. 00:57:09
Parts can reasonably make that turn. 00:57:12
Umm, I. 00:57:14
You can tell me if you think that is true. No, no, no, this software does it just fine. Uh. 00:57:16
Umm, I just need to see it. 00:57:25
From what is going to be the normal load of traffic? 00:57:26
And some are gonna be coming from here and then turning left. 00:57:30
But for the 1st 10 years. 00:57:34
People are gonna be going this way. 00:57:36
And if they're coming from the parking lot? 00:57:38
They're coming this way. 00:57:40
So I I just wanna make sure we can make that term safely. 00:57:41
Uh, this is uh, I apologize for having stepped out of the, uh, out of the meeting earlier. 00:57:45
I think a work call. 00:57:50
Umm, so. 00:57:51
Uh, with the site. Umm. 00:57:53
Uh, on, uh, precise plans and so forth, I mean, the applicant is still going to have to submit a, uh, amendment to revision to our 00:57:55
land service permit. 00:57:59
And our landing service permit is going to, uh, require them to go through your technical review. 00:58:04
On, on our price, we provide them some, uh, preliminary comments. 00:58:09
Umm, we, we, we can provide some preliminary comments in regards to this. 00:58:13
Uh, drive through, Umm, but uh. 00:58:17
And umm, umm, after the site plan, uh, has it's, it's uh, haven't been approved. Then after we'll be able to submit for a revi 00:58:21
revision to our advanced service permit. The advanced service permit will be OK. Umm, let's go through their actual technical. 00:58:28
Uh, review. 00:58:35
OK, there's like, for example, there's a umm. 00:58:36
Left turn, uh, uh, a left turn into the grocery store, and that's where that's been planned. 00:58:39
Uh, on that it's, it's not on their land and service permit and then, but when they, so when they submit that revision. 00:58:45
And then the city will be able to. 00:58:51
Review that to say OK and does that require a umm? 00:58:53
A left turn. Umm. 00:58:57
Uh, when like I, I left a jacket, left her online in order to make sure that it doesn't, uh, you know, uh, bog down traffic. 00:58:59
Uh, as an example, uh, and then for the drive through. 00:59:06
Uh will require the applicant to show. 00:59:10
That's, uh, the turning radiuses are adequate. 00:59:13
As well, uh, to to that level of detail. 00:59:16
All right. I, I, I will still be requesting that specific issue. No, that's not the address. So that is not the address in the 00:59:19
technical review. That's perfect. That's fine. OK. 00:59:23
Umm. 00:59:27
You just other comments and then I'll stop talking. 00:59:29
Umm, for me? 00:59:32
The issue isn't about cramming too much in the small space. Umm, really? This? This is a choice of an architect. 00:59:33
Umm, to the drive through or no drive through? 00:59:39
He's putting in the grocery store and putting in a pharmacy. 00:59:42
That's honestly something that the community needs, and so I'm grateful for this. I don't want any of this to seem like I'm not 00:59:45
grateful. 00:59:49
I think the community needs it. 00:59:53
Me, I always walk in to get my prescription. Walgreens has an awesome drive through. Maybe I've never used it but I know people 00:59:55
do. 01:00:00
So I'm grateful. 01:00:04
That it is a resource for people who may not be. 01:00:06
As incredibly fit as I am where I can get out of my car. 01:00:10
You know, maybe there this doesn't happen naturally because I walk in to get my prescription. 01:00:13
Uh, but there are many others who might have a broken foot that are unable to do so. So in that sense, I'm glad. 01:00:18
That an amendment. 01:00:25
An amendment is before us tonight. 01:00:27
To consider adding a drive through. 01:00:29
To a plan that was already approved that wouldn't have a. 01:00:32
As we said, the grocery store is already under construction. 01:00:36
It already had a pharmacy component. 01:00:39
This is SIM because all of that was approved months ago. 01:00:41
This is simply adding a drive through component. 01:00:44
Which is greater accessibility for those who may need it? 01:00:47
So in that sense, I'm very grateful for it. 01:00:51
Umm. 01:00:53
I think we may be getting too involved. 01:00:55
In a private business decision on how they conduct their business. 01:00:58
For me that's like forcing Target to put their drop off box somewhere they don't have to put up. 01:01:02
Grocery drop off location. 01:01:08
They did that as a business decision. 01:01:09
A drive through, I think as a business business decision. I don't wanna get too involved in telling them how to conduct their 01:01:12
business. Where. 01:01:16
How many? 01:01:20
The spots they need to block off for that. 01:01:21
I think that's gonna come as they conduct their business and they realize, OK, we usually need to, we usually need three. I 01:01:24
personally don't think. 01:01:28
Government needs to get involved in that. I think that's a private person, business owner running their business that can make 01:01:32
that decision. 01:01:35
Quality of life in that sense, but that's in the eye of the beholder. When I was a 20 something, I would have loved to have a 01:01:39
grocery grocery store right next to my apartment. 01:01:43
And that's why this is apartments right next door grocery store. 01:01:48
If I didn't want that, I wouldn't have lived in Washington DC and then urban area. 01:01:51
I wouldn't have but my own personal taste. 01:01:57
My ideal place to live in the town, Manhattan, it's packed. It's crazy. And some people would say that sounds miserable. 01:02:01
Other people love it. 01:02:09
In fact, millions of people love it. That's why they live there. 01:02:11
OK. And so? 01:02:13
I like that we're offering diversity. 01:02:15
Here in Vineyard. 01:02:18
There's. 01:02:20
Low density, medium density and high density. 01:02:22
Because we want to be a community that attracts a variety of people. 01:02:25
And so I like that and I thank you. 01:02:28
And all of our other applicants and developers who bring in a variety of uses and a variety of stuff. 01:02:31
Umm. 01:02:38
So like I said, really my only concern is that right turn area. 01:02:39
Uh, I support the project. 01:02:43
Umm, I would just like to see further clarification on that. So that's my only thought. 01:02:45
Any other comments? 01:02:51
Do you have a motion? 01:02:52
No one else wants to say anything. Then I will move to approve this amendment as it is presented. 01:02:58
On the condition. 01:03:04
That, uh, the right turn radius there, as I talked about previously, is addressed in the technical review. 01:03:06
And that, uh, specifics on the plan is at least presented when it comes to the overflow area. You know what I mean when I say 01:03:13
overflow area, right? I'm so sorry for whoever's driving this motion right now because it is very meandering. Umm. 01:03:20
I hope you get every word of it. Umm. 01:03:27
The parking space is if they don't have it immediately. 01:03:30
The only one. 01:03:34
How's that? 01:03:36
I think that was good did that. 01:03:39
Pay oversight that did not include the signage though. 01:03:40
I just want them to present a plan for it. I don't know if we need to necessarily require, but that's just part of my. I'm just 01:03:44
asking the planning. Can you account for overview sign into that? 01:03:48
Yeah. Do you, do you want that presented to like in the technical view committee, the DRC planning staff Planning Commission, what 01:03:53
level? I don't think any special Planning Commission again. 01:03:58
Or city engineer just said there's additional technical review after that. And so I'd like to address during that technical review 01:04:06
many, OK. 01:04:11
Is there a second for that motion? 01:04:18
One second. 01:04:22
All right, uh, and this is just. 01:04:24
Pro California all in favor? 01:04:26
Alright, alright. 01:04:28
All right, real, real quick, I can address that last question about like what a state they don't approve this because this is a 01:04:30
conditional use in in the state of Utah technically can consider the permitted use, but we can put conditions. 01:04:36
Such as what you thought, uh, making steel do? 01:04:41
Tonight where we want to have further analyzes to make sure that it won't create conflict. 01:04:44
Umm, But because it is, you know, conditional use, there's not much we could do to prevent it from happening. Only those 01:04:49
conditions to make sure that it works well with our community. 01:04:53
So just as a note that. 01:05:00
When we get more of those type of applications, you know that that you take the use applications is very important. 01:05:02
That's to understand perfect, not denied. They just wouldn't put that address here. 01:05:09
Uh-huh. We're gonna move to Item 6 at the work session, and we're gonna discuss the Forge Regionally Significant Entertainment Use 01:05:15
Certification. 01:05:20
Great. Thank you, Chair. 01:05:29
OK, umm. 01:05:35
So this this was an item. If you remember back, this would have been December 2023. 01:05:37
Umm, when the, uh, Dakota Pacific, umm. 01:05:43
Kinko crabs do you? 01:05:47
He's coming. Oh, he's coming. OK, great. 01:05:49
Right on time. 01:05:52
They umm. 01:05:55
They already made a decision, actually. 01:05:57
It wasn't good. It's a work session. It's working. Yeah. Yeah. So this is just a work session. Umm. So this is opportunity for the 01:06:00
Planning Commission to be able to ask questions. 01:06:05
Umm, to be able to, to analyze the site a little bit more detail if there's additional information that you would like into 01:06:09
consideration, and I'll provide the umm, advocate the opportunity to, umm, to, umm, uh, get, get that information. We do have an 01:06:14
economic analysis that was provided. 01:06:19
Showing kind of the regional nature of the of the use. 01:06:24
Umm, so during that December uh, 2023 meeting, the City Council, uh. 01:06:26
They provided the Planning Commission the authority to, uh, to make this, uh, search certification. So the certification is going 01:06:32
to be, uh. 01:06:35
Umm, to have a regionally significant entertainment anchor on the site. 01:06:40
Umm. And then there's some umm. 01:06:45
There's some kind of minimum requirements or umm, bullet points for your consideration that are laid out in the development 01:06:47
agreement. 01:06:51
Umm, but essentially, umm, some of the things that we need to look for is all seasons. So a A use that can be used umm. 01:06:54
Throughout the the year, uh. 01:07:02
Umm across visitors and tourists from a broader geographical area beyond. 01:07:05
Vineyard has an economic or social impact on the region. Uh. 01:07:09
Umm, substantial physical footprint relative to the entertainment land use areas. Land use area is gonna be the forge. 01:07:14
Umm, capacity to accommodate a large number of visitors. Cultural, recreational importance. 01:07:20
Uh, so the facility, uh. 01:07:26
Umm, it's one that can be used for hosting events or activities, and it speaks of, uh, those of a cult, Cultural, recreational, 01:07:28
entertainment. 01:07:32
Uh, nature. It could be things like sporting events, festivals, concerts. 01:07:37
Umm, does it have a regional draw of at least 10 miles? 01:07:42
More is even better. 01:07:46
Umm, but 10 is kind of what's called out in the, uh, in the development agreement. 01:07:48
Umm, and just kind of the overall economic impact, uh, the entertainment anchor shall contribute to the local and also the 01:07:53
regional economy by generating revenue from the entertainment anchor and nearby businesses. 01:08:00
So like is it helping to bring customers to the the nearby businesses? 01:08:06
Umm, let's go back to the site plan. 01:08:12
So this is a conceptual site plan showing the umm the location the applicant is proposing that S block umm. I did bring the 01:08:15
rendering. 01:08:20
Yeah, and so, umm. 01:08:28
I'll I'll, I'll let like umm, Steve present that the site information. 01:08:30
Umm, so in your staff report it lists out kind of those, those both points in the development agreement? 01:08:35
Umm. And so I I would just. 01:08:41
Ask you to to kind of hear them out and then any questions that you have to see if he achieved and for all clients. 01:08:44
Umm ask them and you'll have umm. 01:08:51
And then that's going to have until next meeting to, to, to provide you, umm, those, uh, responses. 01:08:53
Great. Good. Good evening. 01:09:02
Uh, yeah. So just over a year ago we got the development agreement approved and the threshold issue. That's really. 01:09:06
Critical to allowing development move forward is the identification of this entertainment anchor. At the time the development 01:09:12
agreement was approved, we had. 01:09:15
Several ideas swirling and folks interested. 01:09:19
Umm, a lot of those ideas were focused on what's kind of called entertainment category, right? So we've got. 01:09:22
Pickle ball in a large restaurant kind of on the same. 01:09:28
Compound or. 01:09:31
You, you know, they've got these, umm. 01:09:32
Uh, well, they have all kinds of entertainment now, from shuffleboard to, you know, batting cages. You combine a restaurant and 01:09:36
some kind of activity, and that's kind of a big trend. So that was a lot of the focus. 01:09:41
And we went to a lot of the national teams and, umm, we had. 01:09:46
Some significant interest, but in the end. 01:09:50
Alcohol sales in Utah, it just wasn't a primary market. And if they were coming to Utah. 01:09:52
Uh, Utah County wasn't where they were gonna put their first flag. So anybody on a more national scale? I probably talked to 20. 01:09:57
And that just kind of be kind of continued to run in into, uh, in, into a dead end. 01:10:04
And, umm. 01:10:10
And so. 01:10:12
This is critical to us because the development agreement ties our residential development progress. 01:10:14
In fact, let me just talk to that real quick. Uh, maybe I didn't get. 01:10:20
That one pulled up here. Hold on. 01:10:26
Umm, well, maybe the last time, but. 01:10:32
This is the language in the development agreement. It's a lot of words that didn't mean to put that much in there, but basically 01:10:39
the entertainment anchor has to start construction. 01:10:42
For any more than 25 residential units to be released. 01:10:46
And that really has to be complete before any more than 325 presidential units. 01:10:50
It can be released. 01:10:54
So it's critical to the timing of our residential development that was part of the negotiation. 01:10:55
And the second piece is uh. 01:10:59
Umm. 01:11:01
Then we said, well, let's focus on some commercial development then right now kind of along the road, let's build the retail. 01:11:03
Well, what we didn't want to do is build retail. That would preclude the site that the Entertainment Tinker ultimately wanted. 01:11:09
So we found ourselves in kind of a position where we could not advance development. 01:11:15
You know, we felt like we could have moved the retail forward last year, but we were not able to without the identification of the 01:11:19
entertainment anchor. So. 01:11:22
We have been talking to Momentum Climbing Gym for some time. 01:11:25
And there was always kind of an economic gap. Umm, John's here, he's the CFO of, of Momentum Climate and. 01:11:28
We had a lot of discussions back and forth on on land price and you know, umm. 01:11:34
They're kind of willing to kind of go to a more industrial area where we think that you should really come to an entertainment 01:11:39
area. 01:11:41
And so, umm, a lot of back and forth. 01:11:44
Basically what we're agreeing to do is subsidized. 01:11:47
And a little per purchase for momentum to come in. Check this box, bring this use to an area, combine it with food and beverage. 01:11:50
And really let this be a hub and, and we'll be able to talk about sales and some other things and regional significance. But 01:11:55
really the significant impact is as big, if not bigger than anything if we combine, you know, the food and beverages associated 01:12:00
with it. 01:12:04
As anything, we were looking at last year. So I'm pretty excited about it. I think it's a great opportunity. 01:12:09
Umm, so the. 01:12:15
Again, these are the threshold requirements in the development agreement. 01:12:17
It's got to kind of be a substantial footprint of the entertainment land use area which I can show you whether it is basically a 01:12:21
four acre. 01:12:24
Uh, Lot 1 on the corner of Mill Road and umm. 01:12:28
And then your character, we're asking for a different location and we'll talk about why, but the size and capacity. 01:12:32
Similar to to what's agreed to or or discussed in in in this bullet. 01:12:39
Uh, it talks about sporting events being one of the, you know, categories to meet the cultural or recreational importance at least 01:12:44
10 miles. 01:12:48
John will be able to talk about zip codes and what his typical stores draw, but we've also used Placer AI reports to kind of show 01:12:52
that and build that up. 01:12:55
And then the economic impact, umm, we've got, we've got a study from Zion Bank. 01:12:59
Umm. I'm gonna. 01:13:05
I'll just share for a second and pull up my other. 01:13:08
Make sure I can find it here. 01:13:14
Www.whileyouredoingthat thanks. 01:13:27
As to umm, as as we talked about the proposed location, could we also put up the satellite imagery, just Google Maps as well to 01:13:28
refer to it? Thank you. 01:13:32
So what is the proposed climate? 01:13:39
Company. 01:13:42
Yeah, so. 01:13:43
But I think next on our our list is to talk about have have John come up. He'll talk a little bit about the momentum. 01:13:44
Planning business and their business plan specifically for the state. 01:13:51
Umm, good evening. Umm, For the record, I'm John Colbert, this CFO for Momentum Indoor Climbing. 01:14:01
Umm, we're a Utah based company. We originated with a location in Sandy. 01:14:07
And we have since grown to seven locations, four of which are in Utah, 2IN. 01:14:13
The Houston area and one in Seattle. 01:14:19
Umm. 01:14:22
One of the things that, uh, we're looking at when looking at Vineyard specifically is the close proximity to the freeway. 01:14:25
As well as just access for. 01:14:33
Essentially all of Utah County to come to this location and. 01:14:38
20 to 30 minutes. I mean, I live in Santaquin. 01:14:42
And it took me 30 minutes to get here. 01:14:45
Umm, most of our locations we have. 01:14:48
75% of our customers live within about a 20 minute radius. 01:14:51
So. 01:14:56
Considering that the majority of Utah County falls within that threshold, so. 01:14:57
Umm, have a feeling that a location like this would draw. 01:15:03
Uh, a significant customer base from, from outside of vineyard as well as from within. 01:15:07
Umm, to give you a brief idea of the business that we are currently seeing. 01:15:14
Inside of Utah. 01:15:21
Our location in Lehigh last year. 01:15:23
UH had roughly 140,000 different daily visits. 01:15:26
And that was 140,000, it was 25,000 unique customers, so. 01:15:32
Quite a large number of people that come into the region. 01:15:38
Umm, we just opened a new gym in. 01:15:41
Uh, Midvale last month. 01:15:45
And we've already had 25,000. 01:15:47
With 10,000 unit customers. 01:15:50
Umm, so it's a. It's a. 01:15:54
It's a sport that is. 01:15:57
Quite large already, and it's continuing to grow. 01:15:59
Umm, Salt Lake County by itself already has 6 climbing gyms. 01:16:03
For a population of 1.2 million people. 01:16:09
Utah County currently has two smaller climbing gyms for seven 700,000 people so. 01:16:12
There is definitely an opportunity for the county. 01:16:19
Uh, we are absolutely interested in building a gym. 01:16:23
In Utah County and we would certainly love to do it in vineyards, so. 01:16:27
Umm, you talk about the building a little bit and, uh. 01:16:32
Yeah. 01:16:36
So, umm, what we're hoping to do is build a a facility roughly 30,000 square feet. 01:16:38
Umm, if you have driven. 01:16:45
On I-15 past Momentum Sandy, it's roughly 17,000 square feet with a mezzanine that adds a few 1000 square feet for 20,000. 01:16:48
So this would be a little bit larger. 01:16:58
It would contain a rope Bay that's a heightened rope of about 50 to 60 feet. 01:17:01
That would, uh, allow us to have. 01:17:07
Uh, a taller, taller walls for ropes, as well as a shorter area for just bouldering only where they climb onto a wall and fall 01:17:10
down onto paths. 01:17:14
Which is what a typical full service gym entails. 01:17:20
Umm, our current gym in Utah County up in Lehigh is a bouldering only gym so it does not have ropes. 01:17:24
And it is roughly 20,000 square feet, so it is a smaller location. 01:17:32
Than what we're proposing. 01:17:37
And then, umm, I'm sure most of you are familiar with the query and Provo that's in between the two universities. It's about 01:17:39
12,000 square feet. 01:17:43
With ropes. 01:17:48
Umm, the. 01:17:50
Go up about 40 feet, so not quite as tall as what we're proposing, but umm. 01:17:52
Uh, to give you an idea of all of our other gyms. 01:17:58
Uh, our, our gym in Mill Creek is 40,000 square feet. Our new one at Fort Union area mid Valley is 47,000 square feet. So this is 01:18:03
a smaller footprint than some of the gyms we've done in Salt Lake, but still. 01:18:10
Uh, quite a bit larger than what Utah County currently has. 01:18:17
Umm, this would essentially. 01:18:22
Double the current square footage that are the other gyms in the region already provide. 01:18:24
So you mentioned that Corey has 40 foot, uh, rope, uh, roughly 40 foot and you're proposing the ability to do, uh. 01:18:30
So. 01:18:39
If in case any of you are familiar with the with the Olympic event of speed climbing. 01:18:40
Umm, the the minimum height for a speed climbing wall is 52 feet. 01:18:46
And so the minimum ceiling height typically is 54 to 55. 01:18:52
Umm, arrange that. 01:18:58
We haven't decided if that's. 01:19:00
What we want to put in a gym in Utah County, but that's typically what we. 01:19:02
What we built for a portion of our gems just to just to facilitate that. 01:19:07
Umm having a speed wall also increases the opportunity for us to have larger events that are more. 01:19:14
UH, regional, not just the state of Utah, but the state of Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming, bringing their competitive team into the 01:19:22
region to do uh, larger events. So. 01:19:28
And the eater. 01:19:38
Payment. 01:19:40
Portion would be what have you kind of. I'm just saying that those were the kind of entertainment anchors we were first pursuing. 01:19:41
So now let's talk about where this would fit in the site a little bit. And again, John? 01:19:48
Might step back up and help a little bit. 01:19:53
It's a pizza at the top. 01:19:56
So originally that red dash, that entertainment block up there, that's where the development agreement currently talks about it 01:20:02
going and it says it needs to be a substantial part of that block. Again, that's about four acres. 01:20:08
We would like to leave that. 01:20:15
And 100% commercial, make that similar to what it was before kind of this food court area. 01:20:17
Restaurant. 01:20:23
Food and beverage heavy and then put. 01:20:24
The, uh, the climbing gym just to the across what's called Cauldron Rd. today and have it still connected, be connected. 01:20:26
But not necessarily pick up a substantial part of that. So that could be its own thing. You go there to eat and get entertained. 01:20:33
You can have events. 01:20:37
Still there and then you can still have this kind of substantially tall building still connected to it. 01:20:40
And everybody can use the services between the two. So let me show you a site plan here in a little bit. 01:20:45
So yeah, this is, you know, the northern. 01:20:54
Portion of our of our development, we don't own this block here. This block here is not part of the development agreement, but 01:20:57
there's one kind of behind the theater that is. 01:21:00
And this is what we presented as a phase one when we were talking about in the terms of development agreement. 01:21:04
With this block here being. 01:21:10
You know, restaurant heavy. 01:21:13
Having a lot of patios and then potentially having some kind of center active area. 01:21:15
Where people can. 01:21:19
Fire pits, there could be some events, there could be some long games, right with the retail association kind of comes together 01:21:21
and hosts some events. 01:21:24
And so across the street here we could put about a 30,000 square foot building. 01:21:28
Again, this would be quite a bit taller than the buildings across the street, so you still feel some presence of it from Vineyard 01:21:32
Connector. 01:21:34
Umm, as well as you know, when you're in the outdoor area. 01:21:38
We'll talk a little bit about the position, but one of the thoughts we've had is, you know, can we get some glass and, and 01:21:40
interest for the visual transparency from that block and from Vineyard Connector when you're coming down Mill Rd. like you're 01:21:45
seeing the activity of that area. 01:21:49
And and visually connecting it that way and then putting some adjacent parking next to it. 01:21:54
How that parking works out, you know, some of the adjacent development will be dependent upon us of course, that future 01:21:58
development, but. 01:22:01
This is what we're proposing for a site location, so. 01:22:05
That would be a variance. Umm. 01:22:09
Because from from putting it up here on the entertainment block. 01:22:10
Umm, before we move on from site plan. 01:22:15
Umm, I think it's fantastic. Can we just quickly go to? 01:22:18
Google Maps. 01:22:23
So I can see how the site plan relates to what's existing out there. 01:22:24
This question like that works. 01:22:29
Umm, no, the glare from the light that's right here is just clinking stuff. OK, thank you. 01:22:31
So this is the file I'll kind of zoom in, but you'll see at the scene off here to the right where my cursor is at. 01:22:40
And you have the venue connector coming down here, Geneva Rd. 01:22:46
And then Mill Rd. So everything kind of undeveloped right here. That is the Forge. 01:22:50
So maybe point point to where we're talking about, I'm sorry, I'm going back. 01:22:58
And just to be 100% clear, then the climbing gym we're placing, yeah, right. Kind of across the lead of the land right there. 01:23:03
Thank you. 01:23:16
So one of the topics of discussion has been, well, what? What will this look like and and can it be attractive? 01:23:17
Umm can I add to the overall vibe of the area and bring again just some visual energy? 01:23:23
And and be an asset. And so we just kind of pulled some representative imagery. 01:23:30
And what? 01:23:34
I think in discussions with Momentum and others, you know where you put the glass. Obviously you can't, you can't put a full wall 01:23:35
of glass because you're trying to put climbing walls in there. But can you use the glass smartly? 01:23:41
So there's, umm. 01:23:47
You know, some visual what's going on there. John will tell you they don't really want a lot of natural light coming in and 01:23:49
sunshine. People go to those indoor experiences and they. 01:23:53
You know, but you don't need the heat from the sun, so you have to use it sparingly in a climbing gym. But can you use it wisely 01:23:57
again to make the area attractive? Lighting, right? And then just the overall croissant to bring some interest to the area. 01:24:03
This is the place where AI data umm. 01:24:12
And we don't need to get into the details too much. John can probably give us better actual visit terms and place your AI can but. 01:24:14
Umm, just showing this is this. 01:24:22
Sandy location. 01:24:25
You know, you see all that blue out there. Those are people coming from those areas to get to the gym. So I showed A5 and A10 mile 01:24:26
radius to show that this is truly growing. 01:24:31
Beyond 10 miles to come. 01:24:35
To the family location. 01:24:37
And then the next one was the Mill Creek, same thing. You can just see people are coming from the whole valley. 01:24:39
To come to that Mill Creek gym, umm, obviously heaviest within that five mile radius, but. 01:24:44
But a broad group coming in from further distances. 01:24:48
Last, is that the fiscal impact, umm, you know we put up there, the estimated sales for this site would be like, you know, three 01:24:53
and a half million. 01:24:57
When we're looking at entertainment type users. 01:25:01
We were talking about. 01:25:03
5:00 to 7:00 depending on the user. 01:25:05
So this is a little bit less, but you're combining 2 uses, right? You got this active use. 01:25:07
You've got a food and beverage. 01:25:11
Well, we've got food and beverage. In fact, there's 60,000 feet of food of of commercial across the street, right. 01:25:13
And now we're also bringing in the sales of, of of the climate gym. So together we're actually exceeding the overall impact I 01:25:19
think what is one entertainment. 01:25:23
Would it provided? 01:25:27
But. 01:25:29
Uh, Zion Bank to this? 01:25:31
Study for 70,000 of revenues for specific purpose UMM in those different categories. 01:25:33
And then there's some kind of non specific taxes that go probably more to the counting. 01:25:38
And then we thought it was appropriate to say again, we can't really develop our retail across the street until we place our 01:25:44
anchor. 01:25:47
And so the enzyme bank also just. 01:25:51
Did a little bit of a study to say, well you bring. 01:25:54
You know, three to four restaurants there. You have some other retail uses. You know, there's another 100 to $150,000 per year in 01:25:56
in taxes to the. 01:26:00
To the city by bringing in this entertainment. 01:26:04
Anchor momentum is considered the anchor. 01:26:08
That's what we're proposing, we're saying. 01:26:11
Can momentum. 01:26:13
Climbing gym. 01:26:16
Can just meet the requirements of the development agreement, which I'll put back up here again. 01:26:17
To qualify for an entertainment anchor. 01:26:23
And then allow us to proceed, as the development agreement allows, by having placed in our team anchor. 01:26:26
So that is the request, John. Anything else you wanna add up to that? 01:26:34
Questions. 01:26:44
Umm, when you were talking about the glass component and showed the just frontages of other climbing gyms, umm, I thought all the 01:26:47
architecture was beautiful. 01:26:51
And so the intent was to mimic at least in some way, shape or form while also being cognizant of what is even realistic for the 01:26:56
the intent is how do we bring architectural in that adds to the overall vibe and fill of the area, not just a metal box. 01:27:04
Perfect. 01:27:13
And so that's always a little bit of a challenge with, with climate. Jim does not, umm, you know, a higher margin business. Hence 01:27:13
we've had a lot of discussions on, you know, what should, what should pricing be at? And so that's where we're kind of having to 01:27:18
say, OK, we're gonna subsidized this to, to make it happen. We're actually gonna bring it in. And we've even talked about 01:27:22
enhancing some of the astrologers to make sure that it all works together with our own dollars. Yeah, because the biggest concern 01:27:27
is that. 01:27:31
Though you often see these in industrial areas. 01:27:36
It's not an industrial use and so I really wanna make sure it has a nice attractive. 01:27:39
Umm, facade there. 01:27:44
So that it's inviting, right? And I think one thing that. 01:27:46
Umm, one thing that we tried to to consider in that location is the fact that we can put, we can put plenty of glass in. 01:27:50
What we've learned in the past is we don't wanna have the glass facing South or facing certain directions to put the sun right in 01:28:00
your eyes while you're climbing, right? 01:28:05
And so that north and east. 01:28:10
Facing on that corner that people can see as they drive in. 01:28:14
That would be the ideal place to have the glass. So, so we're trying to be, uh. 01:28:18
Uh, cognizant of the of of the city and of the desired effect while trying to figure out the best location for us to be able to. 01:28:25
And I'm gonna just go to some. 01:28:35
Of the images, this was the image again of our phase one. 01:28:39
Of the retail this is that entertainment block. 01:28:42
That we're talking about and then this gym would be sitting kind of over here in this great spot today. 01:28:45
So again, if you have some glass and connectivity with some real interest on that side, yeah, that's why we have interest in. 01:28:51
And making sure that the sod feels right. 01:28:58
Excellent. 01:29:02
So I know in Salt Lake County that they have, they have like the National Climbing USA or something bringing the headquarters 01:29:04
there. Do you anticipate? 01:29:08
And out there, some gyms have expressed concerns because of the consolidation to that. 01:29:11
Would that have any impact on this? 01:29:16
Are you? I'm sorry, John, we'll have to get stuck. For the record, it doesn't pick you up in the record. 01:29:20
So so Momentum has actually been chosen to partner with USA Climbing to run that gem. So umm, you would anticipate then any? I do 01:29:25
not believe it would have a negative impact on Utah County in any way. 01:29:32
Same thing as positive synergy yeah, they just opened the Midvale location despite right yes so we and and we're working on 01:29:40
opening a very small location in Trolley Square that would be even closer to that location so. 01:29:47
We don't anticipate that it would be a negative impact on the local business. 01:29:54
Did we just mess the ice climbing portion of the wall? I heard rumors at one point filling it up. 01:30:02
What? What other questions do you have? 01:30:13
What? What are the relevant questions do you have? 01:30:16
I have none at this time. 01:30:22
OK, alright. 01:30:24
I'd love to get some public comment too. OK, great. Get some questions. Is there any questions or comments from the public? 01:30:25
Please state your name. 01:30:35
Frustrating planning, not Planning Commission. Geez. 01:30:39
Uh yes, so, so I've spent a lot of hours on this. I love climbing gyms absolutely love them. I'm so good uh, that that's a 01:30:42
potential option for this. 01:30:46
Umm, one one thing that was missing in the staff report and in your description of the I. 01:30:51
Uh, requirements that we come up with as Planning Commission in 2023 is, uh, that it's unique to the county. 01:30:57
Umm. 01:31:04
And uh. 01:31:05
Well, I appreciate. 01:31:07
Uh, the possibility of having a climbing gym. 01:31:09
Umm, I was just wondering, just wanted that to be clear, that's not up on there, that's it's unique to the accounting. Just wanted 01:31:12
you guys to be aware of that. Uh, the other thing, umm. 01:31:17
I am curious with the entertainment district with the restaurants and stuff. 01:31:22
If it will stay like the pictures. 01:31:27
We're portraying with a large. 01:31:29
Space in the middle, uh, kind of almost park space in the middle or how that's actually gonna be portrayed, Uh, usually when, uh. 01:31:32
On the Planning Commission, when we were presented with something. 01:31:40
Uh, we would get pictures of things and a lot of times developers would show us pictures and then we'd get the final product and 01:31:43
they wouldn't look anything like pictures, so. 01:31:47
I just wanna make sure that, uh, something like that. 01:31:52
Is like the pictures that if it's showing a park space in the middle, that it's clear that there will be a park space in the 01:31:55
middle. And, and then my only other, uh, concern with timing gym across the street is, uh, how, how you're gonna connect that you 01:32:01
want people to use the restaurant, Uh, if it's an anchor that's trying to bring in sales. 01:32:07
Tax umm. 01:32:14
You want people to. 01:32:15
Leave the climbing gym and immediately like be in front of restaurants. 01:32:17
So that don't go and get food. 01:32:20
Uh, with the parking lot being right in front of climbing gym. 01:32:22
They'll just get in their car. 01:32:26
Uh, I'm just kind of wondering what the connectivity is there and how you can best, uh, utilize that connectivity. 01:32:27
Have to be sales tax and have it be easier for people to get around. 01:32:34
Thanks, Bryce. 01:32:38
Uh, additional public comment. 01:32:40
OK, we'll close public comment and. 01:32:44
And if we could have the. 01:32:46
Question come back up. 01:32:49
So the first question was or it was a comment that should be unique to the county. I actually think this is one of the very first 01:32:50
items I was involved in when I got on the Commission. 01:32:55
So I don't know, Price has spent a lot of time on this, so, uh, I'd love to have some discussion on it. What's really. 01:32:59
Going to make this unique to the county. What's special about the gym? 01:33:06
Yeah, uh, well. 01:33:12
1st, I gotta go back and make sure I understand what the development agreement says around unique or or maybe then I don't know if 01:33:14
that was just like that. That was the discussion on the intent, which I can certainly honor as well. 01:33:19
Umm, but as you heard John say, there's no climbing gym like this. You talk, Johnny. 01:33:25
Alright, we're talking double the size of anything that's. 01:33:31
Currently here that has, you know, the full service of suites besides their own bouldering gym which is. 01:33:34
But just a little bit of a different product, so. 01:33:39
Umm, you know Utah County doesn't have this today. 01:33:42
There's nothing like it. I don't know how you get. 01:33:48
You know how how how that doesn't meet the unique definition to me, but. 01:33:50
Do you, do you have the language of what? Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say in the umm. 01:33:54
The development agreement that was approved by the City Council and we can relist into it, but. 01:34:00
Umm, the the development agreement doesn't have. 01:34:04
U unique as a standard. I do remember that in Planning Commission that that was that it is in the minutes and then it's the 01:34:07
Planning Commission umm. 01:34:11
Umm, so that yeah, it it it's not in the, it's not in like the signed version. Yeah, this is the language that defines the 01:34:15
requirements that. 01:34:19
So yeah. 01:34:24
I I, and I mean you've been looking for quite a while for a draw like this. Umm. 01:34:26
How close have you come to other types of facilities? 01:34:32
That may fit. Yeah. We like I said, it's been a little bit of a struggle with anybody that's got a large food and beverage 01:34:37
component because those often times are, you know, alcohol serving places with an activity. 01:34:42
And so, you know, in my pursuit, I even talked to the real estate guy over Top Golf, who was real estate guy when this came. 01:34:48
I just said like you brought this here, like why can't you bring what you're doing now? He's in a different business and he just 01:34:55
said, look, we were, we had exhausted all our primary markets. 01:34:59
Alright, we were. 01:35:04
We had a mandate to grow. 01:35:06
So we went ahead and. 01:35:07
And did this here, he said. I won't do it. Uh, you know, I've got too many primary markets to go after right now. That's what we 01:35:09
continue to run in. 01:35:12
I mean, we've talked to like some of the family fun centers in Utah. 01:35:16
They're not interested and they're concerned about the location of, of the, the theater. A lot of a lot of the theaters the, the, 01:35:19
the large mode, they're talking about adding more entertainment type uses in addition to the theaters. And so that's kind of got 01:35:25
some of those uses spooked. They're also financially struggling. 01:35:31
Umm, or I don't know if they're struggling, but. 01:35:37
This wasn't a growth area that they wanted to necessarily attack or feel good about, so. 01:35:40
I can tell you. 01:35:45
I'm bringing you this with concessions on our side because we think it's a really good option that we have some certainty to. 01:35:46
Without it, I don't know. 01:35:50
You know, we're, we're kind of blank slate a little bit on how, how do we find entertainment acres. 01:35:55
And also I mean this is for you to make a determination. I mean U unique is. 01:35:59
Umm, you know that that that's something that's that's up for you know, umm, you know, you, you guys have to make that 01:36:03
determination. If it's visa, it's a unique category, umm. 01:36:09
And you you need to do the third time site planning and stuff. 01:36:14
To that design aspect, yeah, yeah. So if you wanted to, you could. 01:36:17
Yeah. So so that they would come, come back for that. But as far as declining in itself being unique? 01:36:21
Umm, you know, just as a as a category now. But how could and? But there's only a couple of them. 01:36:28
But then how could you make this? 01:36:33
But thi thi this one you take and size is is is 1 I I mean like the the largest one in this company more customers the the design 01:36:35
of it. 01:36:40
Umm, is it, uh, it's, it's based. I could, I could host events, CLI climate events and there's some, some things like that that 01:36:44
that we could discuss. Doesn't necessarily. 01:36:49
Being like the category. So that's that. That would be up. 01:36:53
For your consideration, yeah. If you're a climate athlete, would you call this unique for Utah County? 01:36:56
So this would be a variance from the original to move the anchor location, but we're considering it 2 step, uh, combined 01:37:03
experience of food and this I, I'd imagine that. 01:37:08
And that should get to to Bryce's other point of that continuity of. 01:37:13
I think part of the experience that would have to be the design. What is the design that takes you from food? 01:37:17
To the entertainment, climbing from climbing back to the food and that pedestrian experience. 01:37:23
That would make it maybe then somewhat unique compared to other gyms and. 01:37:28
And and have continuity between the two areas. 01:37:33
Yeah. And part of this leads to the business terms as to why we're putting them down here. 01:37:36
To be fully transparent, the preferred location by the business was to go behind the theaters. 01:37:41
Right. The the business themselves, people come to the climbing gym, right? So, but we said, boy, we really want this to feel 01:37:46
integrated. 01:37:50
And so we kind of settled on here. 01:37:53
Between the the different businesses. 01:37:56
But I, I guess I would say again, you're talking about a 50 foot. 01:38:00
50 to 60 foot piece of the building right here. 01:38:04
You've got a crosswalk right here. 01:38:07
It's not like it's a four lane Rd. between them right? This is a 2 lane Rd. with. 01:38:10
Parallel parking on the street, right? It's a. 01:38:15
It's a, it's already kind of got the bulb outs and ways to calm the traffic there, so. 01:38:18
If you're sitting in one of those restaurants, you're looking at the climbing gym. If you're in the in the climbing gym on the 01:38:23
wall and you're looking at the glass, you're seeing. 01:38:26
Those restaurants, it's gonna be pretty clear as you pull out their food and beverage right there. 01:38:29
Umm, it's, it's, it's true that they don't have to walk by the food and beverage to get to it, but if they're, if they're hungry, 01:38:33
it's right there. Well, see that I mean to kind of Bryce's point, though, like if bringing people into the gym, that could be then 01:38:38
going and you know, I. 01:38:43
Patron the the restaurant. Maybe it would help to understand what is on that block because. 01:38:48
The the loan agreement isn't extremely SUS. 01:38:54
Specific. It's not calling out like a legal description. It's saying 4.8 acres of the entertainment area. 01:38:57
Umm, and so the, the depending on on how that's that's looked at. 01:39:03
I, I, I think that's, that's kind of another area of of consideration. I don't know if that necessarily is a variance. 01:39:08
But. 01:39:14
I think showing how that connection could be made, I mean it's very close. It's right across from the street. It has a double 01:39:15
loaded kind of retail feel to it. 01:39:19
But is there ability for people to cross easily? 01:39:23
You do have a prospect right there, so maybe kind of explain that, but also on that specific site are there is a retail 01:39:28
establishment that would be located on that side? 01:39:32
Yeah, it's interesting. Like. 01:39:38
Some might be saying, well just put the climbing gym up here. 01:39:40
So you actually reduced in the amount of like aggregated food and beverage together. 01:39:43
Which now this lawn starts to make sense, right? This is that area starts to make sense when you have a critical mass. 01:39:48
If I go put the climbing gym up there. 01:39:54
Now I've only got room for another 15,000 feet instead of 60,000 feet to aggregate. 01:39:56
And now I'm gonna put some other food and beverage to the South. But just from a development plan perspective, I think it really 01:40:02
makes a lot of sense to bring all that activity and body heat together. 01:40:06
For the food and beverage and have really easy access for those coming to the climbing gym. 01:40:11
So that's that's. 01:40:16
That's one thought. Umm. 01:40:19
But but the kind of uses again it's food and beverage heavy. You can see kind of what we've. 01:40:21
A lot of outdoor patio patios, A lot of outdoor space is, umm, what's anticipated. 01:40:26
And I, I, I appreciate that, frankly, I think this is, that is a good location for this use. Umm. 01:40:32
Umm, based on my own experience as a customer, because I'm not only a. 01:40:44
I not only work for a clinic company, I'm a climber myself. My family climbs. 01:40:51
We go to momentum, Sandy. 01:40:56
We get in our car and we drive down. 01:40:58
To Texas Roadhouse, that's part of the exact same development. 01:41:02
Stop and eat dinner. That's not a problem like. 01:41:06
I I personally based on my own experience and the experience of my friends. 01:41:10
Skating in our car even if we have to and driving across the street because the the the food in bed. 01:41:15
Isn't an issue for us like I I don't I don't feel like. 01:41:22
Umm. 01:41:27
Myself and my own fellow customers would have an issue. 01:41:29
Umm, even if we didn't wanna walk across the street, getting in our car and driving to a restaurant. So. 01:41:33
Probably just share that. 01:41:41
Yeah. And and you know, there are some bigger boxes up here along the street, just saying. I mean, in our mind, there's some soft 01:41:43
kids of some sort up there as well, some kind of retail stuff. Good. 01:41:47
But umm, food and beverage kind of wrapped in the outside, so. 01:41:52
Well an ice wall would make it a no brainer. 01:41:56
But this is not a bad option. 01:42:00
So I I have a question. Umm what? 01:42:05
Even in this business longer than I have, but when you have the anchor that's typically used as the all right, who else can I come 01:42:09
in to be in all of the other food in the retail spots there? 01:42:15
Umm, obviously you don't need to go into details, but do you find that this use as an anchor? 01:42:21
Is going to help land. 01:42:28
That needed restaurants and retail uses there. 01:42:30
I think it brings a level of activity up in interest for the area. I mean obviously the theater and and and Top Golf. 01:42:32
Now you bring a climbing gym. People know to come here to go. Some have fun. 01:42:38
Right, which I I think that just builds the overall brand. I think it's more of a branding thing than anything. 01:42:42
The residential will actually bring the bodies, you know, to kind of bring the activity that's even more important to the 01:42:48
retailers to the food and beverage themselves. 01:42:51
But the brand of the area will be improved by by having this use. 01:42:56
What, umm how, how tall did you say the tallest, smallest plans were? 01:42:59
What's the tallest fall you have in any? We'll have to have you at Microsoft. Umm, so I know it's annoying. 01:43:06
Gotta do it. 01:43:11
Umm, our walls at our Mill Creek location I believe are like our ceiling is up to 60 feet. And how tall is the wall? 01:43:13
55 could we get the tallest wall of any of your gems? I I'm just putting it out there uh. 01:43:21
I mean that that that makes it starts making it more unique for a draw. 01:43:29
The only speed climbing wall in Utah County. 01:43:34
I I think it starts becoming unique. Umm umm. One thing I will add to that is. 01:43:40
The quarry was built. 01:43:46
24 years ago. 01:43:48
A modern climbing gym is very unique to the experience that you get at the Quarry. I will say that I mean 25 years of experience 01:43:52
of building gyms. 01:43:57
It's a very different experience and I frequent the quarry regularly. It's the closest gym to my house. 01:44:04
It is definitely a different experience when I go up to the gym we just built. We just opened a month ago so. 01:44:10
That alone, uh, I would say is a very unique experience to what is offered in Utah County right now. 01:44:17
Yeah. 01:44:24
A tall as well as that a question I could look into it, but that would just add to our cost and and sometimes that's doing it out 01:44:25
there. 01:44:29
But I'll look into it. Alright, bye. This is just a work session. Yeah, ideation I I know in some of your other locations you have 01:44:34
different class types. 01:44:38
Such as delay instruction, group fitness classes, yoga. 01:44:43
Umm. Is it safe to assume that you have a variety of classes as well? That you know that program? 01:44:46
A similar type programming. Do you have like an annual and monthly pass too? 01:44:53
Yes, we, we typically have monthly memberships, which is, uh, roughly. 01:44:57
Uh, 60% of our total revenue, we have annual memberships, which is another 10. 01:45:02
Uh, 15% of our total revenue is U type programs in summer account. 01:45:10
Some of the other remaining it's like they use. 01:45:17
With their families for a one time event. Yeah, so John too also, umm, maybe to your to your client, umm. 01:45:21
Like 2 tournaments, I know we talked about in in the past, but it could just be a facility that would host tournaments that that 01:45:28
maybe other facilities are because the tournament or something that would bring in a lot of people at one time would would be a 01:45:34
huge benefit of the retail establishment. Umm yeah. What we typically do with USA Climbing is we typically comma commit to 1:00 to 01:45:40
2:00. 01:45:46
Large competitive events for for youth or collegiate climbers. 01:45:52
We've even had adult professional World Cup style climbers come to our Lehigh and our Mill Creek gym. So. 01:45:58
We typically commit to. 01:46:06
Umm, multiple large events like that a year. 01:46:08
And uh. 01:46:11
A lot of times when we do that, we coordinate to have a local competition. 01:46:13
Around the same time within a day or two so that we can open it to the public as well, so. 01:46:19
Yeah, perfect. Umm, I I'm sure you've recorded every. 01:46:26
Vineyard Planning Commission meeting over the last two years and watched them but one common. 01:46:30
Umm, conversation point is finding opportunities. 01:46:36
For activities for our youth, for people age 10 to 18, umm and so. 01:46:40
But looking at what you've done in other gyms, I I feel like that satisfies a great need. 01:46:47
Here I know this is just a work session. 01:46:52
Uh, but I. 01:46:55
I think when looking at everything that the Forge can be, just remembering that age demographic, I think that absolutely pulls 01:46:56
them in. Let's add to it. 01:47:00
But if, if there's food things that. 01:47:05
I don't know, let's do it. You know, like that's something that keeps bringing in that age group I think would be huge and our 01:47:08
youth program start at the age of four up until wonderful so. 01:47:13
It's perfect. 01:47:19
OK. MMM. 01:47:25
Is there any action needed? No, not tonight, sorry. The applicant has a comment and. 01:47:25
Umm will have is on the next meeting. 01:47:30
For for approval. So you would be making a motion to certify it uh, forward to not certify it so. 01:47:34
Yeah, I do wanna say one thing. I think this is really exciting, something I can get behind. 01:47:40
And I think a lot of our residents will. 01:47:45
Uh, a recreation. 01:47:48
Well, an entertainment opportunity. 01:47:50
It's both recreation and kind of fitness oriented versus maybe. 01:47:52
A Dave and Buster's an adult, uh. 01:47:58
Video game. 01:48:00
Uh, situation, but uh, yeah, I think we're kinda leaning towards this and this would be very helpful for our community. Thank you 01:48:02
for the collaboration. 01:48:07
Uh-huh. Thank you. 01:48:12
Alright, umm. 01:48:15
And I think that's the one I can get my agenda up. That was the last item. So we just moved to, uh, reports and discussion. 01:48:17
Any Commission reports? 01:48:25
No. 01:48:28
Uh, no, uh, no request that we're going just real quick. I, well, we, we did have a town hall all about parking last night that I 01:48:30
just wanna report on. 01:48:35
Umm, I should say our Parking Pro program, not all about parking, it's very specific about umm, that was well attended by some 01:48:39
people, umm. 01:48:44
But how did a good healthy discussion, umm, have some council members there, umm, and hopefully we can get some, some good, uh. 01:48:50
A agreement on on. 01:48:55
My microphone's not been on the full time, so that's OK. 01:49:02
Thank you SO. 01:49:06
Yeah, that was the. 01:49:07
A good event last night. 01:49:08
Thank you, and we will go ahead and adjourn. 01:49:11
Yeah. 01:49:16

So can I be you Pam? 00:02:26
OK, great. 00:02:30
Sometimes we don't turn it on, we forget. 00:02:34
So. 00:02:37
Let me see if this will come on again. 00:02:38
OK. 00:02:40
Umm, we've been using this. 00:02:41
Just under a year now this new UMM Agenda MA meeting. 00:02:44
Can the meeting management program and I thought it was past due to make sure that everybody was. 00:02:48
Logged in and was receiving their agendas in their packets. 00:02:54
Through this board portal. 00:02:59
But to show you just a couple things, if you haven't played around on it, yours looks way different than mine because I'm an admin 00:03:01
on it so. 00:03:05
I get to see everything. 00:03:09
But so you should just see your boards that you're on with. 00:03:10
But I sent you a new links. 00:03:15
Out today, if you haven't logged in, you'll go in and you'll create a log in. 00:03:17
And then the one thing I need you to do is where your name is. 00:03:22
Then you're gonna go click on your e-mail preference. Make sure it's checking this box. 00:03:27
And clicking save. 00:03:32
OK. And then you can? 00:03:35
Umm, let's see, I need to go back. 00:03:39
Bye bye. 00:03:41
Yeah. 00:03:43
OK. 00:03:44
Click Save. I'll just click Save. 00:03:45
It is not. Oh sorry I did that wrong. 00:03:50
Forward portal. There we go. 00:03:55
So what you're gonna see is like tonight's meeting. 00:03:56
If you click on that once, you're in it. 00:04:00
You'll see that the agenda is right here. You can click on any. 00:04:03
Item that you want. 00:04:07
And what's really cool about it is if you do it before the meeting, then you can make notes about things you wanna talk about. 00:04:09
To do it during the meeting, then you can make notes about things that were brought up that you want to remember. 00:04:15
Umm, these are private notes. They are not subject to reference requests, but whatever you. 00:04:21
Put in here please. Umm don't share it. 00:04:27
These are UMM unless semester South and to remember not to pray to quorum. 00:04:31
That's always something I like to push, but it's really simple. I promise this is not gonna take very long to do, but you can type 00:04:36
notes in here all you want. 00:04:41
And it'll automatically save them. 00:04:45
And you can go back. 00:04:48
With this tab here and look at anything you put notes into. 00:04:50
Umm, remind me when we have quorum. 00:04:55
Status. 00:04:59
Umm, when a chlorine acorn is three members of a board, Commission, council. 00:05:00
So where you are A5 member with two alternates, the quorum is 3. 00:05:07
OK. 00:05:13
Yeah, so. 00:05:14
When you're emailing people, don't be. 00:05:16
Be seeing, don't be umm. 00:05:19
Decline all in those. Throw that out there. You can look once the minutes are in there. I don't e-mail you the minutes, but I do. 00:05:21
Put them in there. 00:05:30
I do. Are you guys putting them in there? 00:05:32
The minutes in the portal. 00:05:34
Yeah. So you should be able to go back and find minutes and things that you can look at through the portal. 00:05:36
You can also obviously go look at the minute through the. 00:05:42
City website. But what what's fun is you can look at just straight the agenda here. 00:05:45
You got a button you can click and look at the agenda. 00:05:51
We'll just give you that. 00:05:55
And this is my first info. It opens up a new window every time which is great, but I have to remember it does that. 00:05:58
And then you can look at the full packet if you want. 00:06:04
Just like you would if you were looking at. 00:06:07
That the public website. 00:06:09
Side of it. 00:06:11
So we'll give you everything but. 00:06:12
How often do you really wanna get into that when you can do all this other stuff here? 00:06:14
Of all of your attachments. 00:06:18
With the stuff you want. 00:06:21
We'll look at the calendar. 00:06:23
Umm, there should have been attachment. OK, maybe not. 00:06:24
Right here. Oh, you have to probably download the attachment. 00:06:29
So your better bet is to go in. 00:06:33
If you wanna look at the attachments in the packet then you can go here. 00:06:39
But just make sure you're making notes. I want people to to utilize this the best. 00:06:42
As you can and make notes in here. Like I said it auto saves them so you have them. 00:06:48
But make sure you're getting in here. This is where they're sending you all your stuff. Hey, just checking in. 00:06:53
What's? What's that? 00:06:59
Don't know why that was not part of the feature. No, that's not part of the feature stuff. Team Cousin is over here doing other 00:07:02
work while I'm up here doing this. 00:07:07
I will check that later. 00:07:14
I didn't read it. 00:07:17
You get a bonus. 00:07:20
So anyway, really simple. Simple simple simple stuff. 00:07:22
OK. Just make sure you're you're getting in there. 00:07:25
Getting your e-mail preferences so that you are getting those emails because you can look at the agenda, you can look at the 00:07:29
attachments, you can make those notes in there and it saves those notes. So if you have something you wanna go back and remember. 00:07:35
So I I recommend that you umm. 00:07:41
Bring tablet, bring a laptop, something that you can. 00:07:44
Log into and access this. 00:07:48
Pretty simple. 00:07:50
Umm, pretty good. 00:07:52
The other thing I wanted to just touch base on for our. 00:07:54
Our friends that have come to the media is make sure you're doing the public side, make sure you're getting those emails from us. 00:07:58
Because, umm. 00:08:08
You never know when something's gonna get updated or special session might happen, so just go in to to Vineyard if you haven't 00:08:09
already. I know quite a few of you probably have. 00:08:15
And it's going to ask you when you're here. It's going to ask you to sign in. 00:08:21
And it's gonna ask you what subscriptions you want. 00:08:31
And you can just click on those, make sure they go black like that. 00:08:35
And whatever ones you want to get, whatever ones are available. 00:08:39
You'll get an e-mail now if we update it. We don't have to send an e-mail because I need complaints because we get too many 00:08:43
emails. 00:08:46
So, umm. 00:08:49
But pick which origin Commission do you wanna get emails about notifications that you might be interested in, and maybe someday 00:08:52
you'll wanna sit on the board of Commission. 00:08:56
You see what they're doing or what's going on and they might apply for that, so. 00:09:00
Umm, so that's it. I wanted to keep it short and sweet. Does anybody have any questions? 00:09:06
How many cities you know are using this already? Umm. 00:09:11
You know, that was year and a half, two, almost two years ago that we started looking into this, so. 00:09:16
When they gave us our stuff, I mean there were there were few, there were few, but this was my favorite. This was the easiest 1 to 00:09:22
umm to work with out of all the ones I looked at. 00:09:27
And umm, we just, we just found it gave us a lot of benefits. 00:09:32
Well, I'm seeing, uh, the public notice website compared to this because you have no obligation to do something like this. So it's 00:09:38
a great tool, yeah, to go above and beyond and make it easy for the policy Yeah, the the tool we don't, but. 00:09:45
You know, because when we were doing it just under Civic plus. 00:09:52
You know they've got a a a similar a smaller program where I have to upload the PDF. 00:09:55
Within the PDF. 00:10:01
Then we were training packets and then we were booked. Started bookmarking them and. 00:10:02
And those kinds of things. And that's a lot of work and especially if the the packet gets changed after you've got it ready. 00:10:07
Then you have to go back and change everything. This I can move things around in it. 00:10:14
I can move them to another meeting if something needs to get bumped. 00:10:19
Just like that. I mean it is so simple and so nice to use so. 00:10:23
It's a. It's a great plus for the work we did. We calculated how long it was taking. 00:10:28
Her agenda depending on the size of the agenda, the average of 16 hours. 00:10:34
Per agenda. 00:10:39
This is cut that in in more than half. 00:10:41
So it's it's a great benefit. It's great plus and I wanted you guys. 00:10:43
Also benefit from it, from what we offer with it. 00:10:48
So get in there. Take note. 00:10:52
Write notes. Remind yourself what you wanted to talk about a different item. 00:10:55
And and really utilize it. OK Oh look, there's a new code right there. Or getting back with me on something else. 00:11:00
Sorry I can't post the notifications off but. 00:11:08
Anyway, anymore clinic? Any more questions? 00:11:12
OK. Thank you for letting me come, you guys. 00:11:16
I appreciate it. 00:11:19
And we'll do this for all the other boards and commissions. 00:11:20
This will shut off. Thank you for that. 00:11:24
Sometimes they're not always. 00:11:36
What? 00:11:38
Pretty funny, huh? 00:11:41
All right, we're going to move on to the public comment period. So this is the time for anyone who'd like to make, uh, comments 00:11:43
related to items that aren't necessarily already on the agenda. 00:11:53
Uh, exactly. You come up, state your name and you have 3 minutes. 00:12:02
Umm, any public comment from anyone? 00:12:08
Wow, I got it easy. I thought I was gonna have to start remembering everyone's name. 00:12:12
OK, alright. 00:12:16
Uh, we'll move on to Item 4, Consent items. UH 4.2 approval of December 18th, 2024 Planning Commission draft minutes. 00:12:18
Umm, I was not in attendance that day, so those who could make a motion, the only one I'll move to approve. 00:12:27
OK. 00:12:33
December 18th, 2024. Planning Commission minutes. 00:12:34
Well then, the rest of us are there. One of us left a second. 00:12:38
OK, all in favor. 00:12:42
Hi, hi, hi. 00:12:44
Motion passed. 00:12:47
Uh, we will move to uh, item 5. 00:12:48
Planning Commission calendar. 00:12:51
So just scheduling the meetings. 00:12:55
Yeah, Yep. 00:12:58
Uh, I can follow it up if you want. It should be on the staff report, but it's just the first and and third Wednesday of. 00:12:59
Uh, the month. 00:13:07
I I I don't believe that there were any conflicting holidays this year. Sometimes we'll have like. 00:13:09
Yeah, yeah, July is the second. 00:13:14
From my mouth. 00:13:18
So. 00:13:18
Should be loading. 00:13:24
There you go. 00:13:29
So this is the only month that was kind of funky that we had to switch up some dates to the to the City Council. 00:13:30
But the rest of the year? 00:13:36
On that first and 3rd and it's one of those once again, if we have a lack of agenda items cancel a meeting everyone tomorrow we 00:13:38
might have to call for special session. But this is kind of the going what people can expect for our our Planning Commission for 00:13:42
the the following year. 00:13:46
How do we feel about moving up to Saturday morning? 00:13:52
I think that our bylaw actually require it. I have the worst of it. Serious. 00:13:55
Umm OK, no issues. Umm, only quick question. 00:14:05
So if we we had talked before about having a special meeting with the City Council and a combined. 00:14:09
Meeting umm would that show up? 00:14:15
Would would that just be considered a special meeting? Yeah. So on that agenda software will label it special session. Even site 00:14:18
was labeled as as special sessions. We were meeting on the 4th. 00:14:22
Yeah. So anything outside of this calendar will be labeled. 00:14:27
Session or joint session with the the City Council, OK. 00:14:30
Is this, uh, an item we have to approve? Yeah, it does have to be approved. 00:14:35
Uh, any other discussion on the calendar? 00:14:40
From anyone. 00:14:43
Uh, a motion. 00:14:45
To approve. 00:14:47
I'm going to approve the calendar as presented. 00:14:48
OK, a second. 00:14:50
All in favor. 00:14:53
All right, all right, all right. 00:14:54
We'll move to item 5.42025, Planning Commission Chair and Vice Chair election. 00:14:57
So you can take this anyway. I mean, so typically if there's someone that really wants it, they can nominate themselves, you can 00:15:07
nominate someone else. 00:15:10
Umm, if you get multiple nominations we can work through that, but. 00:15:14
I will note that UMM Brad and Grayson are alternates, so they would not be eligible. 00:15:19
So with that, you go to the website right now, umm, to look at Planning Commission. Maybe that just needs to be updated. Could you 00:15:29
please remind us? 00:15:33
The names of all of the current sitting, Yeah, and the commissioners and all of the options. So the other two members that are 00:15:37
sitting would be Caden Row and and Natalie Harvin. 00:15:42
Who are not here tonight. 00:15:47
Umm. And then we have Steve Anderson as an alternate. 00:15:48
Umm, we did have Bryce Brady, but uh, due to term limits. 00:15:52
It's no longer with. I mean, he's with us tonight, but. 00:15:56
Uh, so that means we do have one vacancy as a, uh, full time member of the Commission, as a sitting member of the Commission. 00:16:00
So we currently have. 00:16:06
Three sitting members and three alternate members. 4 sitting. We have kitten that way and then two. 00:16:07
Of course I didn't tell her something. 00:16:14
Can only sitting members make motions? 00:16:19
No, you you already can make an automation. Yeah, sure. 00:16:22
But you just can't nominate. 00:16:26
Unit Madam's Chair. 00:16:29
I will consider that. 00:16:34
I, in turn, would nominate you as Vice Chair. 00:16:38
OK. 00:16:42
I can accept that. 00:16:43
And then you would umm, if you both would accept it, then you make a umm, somebody just make a motion a second. You do the second 00:16:45
on that. 00:16:48
So you made the motion or I guess? 00:16:52
You make a motion for both. I will second it or. 00:16:54
Really bad minutes wise for me to make that motion. It might be good because that was the nomination. Both got nominated and now 00:16:57
it makes an official motion. 00:17:01
If I make a note, uh, a motion for Nathan Steel to be chair. 00:17:06
And myself to be vice chair. 00:17:11
And I'll second that, OK. 00:17:14
Uh, and then this is a roll call vote, correct? 00:17:15
I don't think it matters. Alright, so all in favor. 00:17:19
All right, all right. OK, great. Unanimously. 00:17:23
All right, we'll move to item 5.5, Grocery store site plan amendment and conditional use permit. 00:17:27
Uh, and Bronson will be presenting. I'll give you a brief just, uh, presentation here. Uh, but we do have Bronson here, sorry. 00:17:33
I didn't mean to steal your Thunder there. 00:17:41
You know, he mentioned he was planning that. 00:17:43
So as you, as you can recall last year, we we have the site plan in front of the Planning Commission for approval. I think we even 00:17:45
did show the drive through just of what it could look like. 00:17:49
But at that time it was not permitted you. 00:17:53
Umm, no drivers allowed in the downtown umm, so they went. We went through a zoning tech environment last year with the planning 00:17:55
mission. City Council to change that to allow for. 00:18:00
Umm, this type of drive through service for a pharmacy has a very specific standards of of the queuing length of a width of. 00:18:05
Connection enhancements and safety measures. Umm. 00:18:13
Umm which they have met all those standards with this design so. 00:18:16
Umm, with, I can let Bronson, uh, come up if you guys do have any specific questions. They did provide an attractive impact study 00:18:20
as some people did request that to show kind of what this would look like if there's a queuing problem, umm, and, and what they 00:18:25
would do to address that. So. 00:18:29
Go ahead, Johnson. OK, I'll jump up. 00:18:40
Uh, Bronson Patton with the developer. 00:18:43
Umm, yeah. So I guess just kind of piggybacking on, uh. 00:18:46
Uh, what? Cash just kinda ended with her. 00:18:49
Umm. 00:18:52
So in the zoning text amendment that we did to allow the drive through. 00:18:53
It called out for three. 00:18:57
Stacking lanes so we have. 00:18:59
In one of the exhibits, I don't know if you can find it, Umm. 00:19:02
Cash, but it shows a 60 foot length, which I think is also in the the text amendment. 00:19:05
And then we are a little bit longer than that, but you'll see a 60 foot dimension on one of the exhibits. Hopefully it's in your 00:19:11
packet. 00:19:14
But we extend a little bit beyond that. 00:19:19
Umm and then if that queuing. 00:19:21
Does fill up. 00:19:25
We'll make available some some waiting stalls over. 00:19:27
In the parking lot. 00:19:31
And then umm. 00:19:33
There would be a text that would go out and say your prescription is ready to pick up through the drive through and they could 00:19:35
circle back around and come through the drive through again. 00:19:39
Yeah, sorry. I can quickly show the elevations as well. They did submit. 00:19:45
Just to show. Oh, hang on, I'm just gonna zoom in. Sorry. You mentioned something about triple. 00:19:49
3 something. 00:19:55
033 uh. 00:19:57
Yeah, like 3 stalls of waiting. 00:19:59
For the window. 00:20:02
So. 00:20:03
And here you can see in these. 00:20:04
So let me kind of explain this elevation and then maybe we can flip back to the plan. 00:20:06
So I think it's the the span that's labeled. Is that H in that diamond? 00:20:11
Yeah, HH right here. Yeah. So that is where the window sits. 00:20:18
For the pharmacy, like the lower for lower windows, one of those will open. 00:20:22
Umm and then from that .60 feet back is that measurement? 00:20:27
And then there's additional, you know a longer vehicle gets in there. I think it ended up being 75 feet provided. 00:20:32
Umm, and then if if those. 00:20:42
3. 00:20:45
Queuing stalls. 00:20:46
Back up, you know, we want to avoid people parking on the sidewalk and on the bike lane. 00:20:47
Umm, the pharmacist or the person in the window would ask the person to pull through and go wait in the parking lot so their 00:20:53
prescription is ready to pick up and then they. 00:20:58
Come back in. 00:21:03
To the queueing plan. 00:21:04
OK, so I'm thinking. 00:21:07
I'm still having a hard time envisioning it, but uh, so maybe flip back to the plan view. So keep this in mind. So if you're 00:21:09
seeing these. 00:21:12
Like look at the the the column fan. 00:21:16
And just remember where these windows are at on H and if we flip to the site plan. 00:21:20
Where those you can kind of see the. 00:21:27
The building projecting out into the column space. 00:21:30
That's where the window would be on the far, uh, east side. So on the right hand side. Yep. OK, one window. 00:21:33
Umm, not similar. Well, to a bank where three people can be serviced at one time, right? Yeah, it's only one person at the window 00:21:40
at a time. Early on we did explore doing a tube. 00:21:46
We we still only have this amount of space, but we would. 00:21:52
We would bring people in the opposite direction and that was problematic, we felt like. 00:21:55
It's more typical for a pharmacy to be against the window, the driver to be against the window. So we reversed it, took the tube 00:22:01
out and put them up against the window. 00:22:05
The driver side up against the window. 00:22:10
Yeah. 00:22:13
Umm, some of the other things that we did is like cash, if you could zoom in there. 00:22:15
Umm, the surfacing is different. 00:22:19
When like, the sidewalk is umm, labeled #21 and we've changed the. 00:22:23
The paving type in the sidewalk as a visual queue. 00:22:29
A tactile to pedestrians walking on a sidewalk. 00:22:32
And then we did something similar on the bike lane, which is. 00:22:37
Label #20. 00:22:40
So we're changing up the surface where the car passes through those. 00:22:42
The the bike lane and the sidewalk and then. 00:22:46
When it when the car exits. 00:22:49
Uh, we did that also on the. 00:22:52
On the entrance into the parking lot, over there on the right. 00:22:55
And then this loading. 00:22:59
Yep, right there and then the loading for the trucks when they're pulling in. 00:23:00
We did the same thing. 00:23:05
Just as like 2 for the pedestrians and bicyclists to know that they're crossing through. 00:23:07
OK, thank you to the password. 00:23:13
Umm. 00:23:18
There were some comments from staff that we kind of fixed. 00:23:20
Umm, on the sidewalk section, what's labeled as #21? 00:23:24
The the vehicular path. 00:23:29
It like there's like that jog, we're gonna take that that corner out and just have the arc. 00:23:32
Continue around. 00:23:38
If I don't know if I explained that very well, but yeah, I think I'm not sure is. 00:23:41
For covering it up there rather than a square is gonna be Yep, it'll be purple there. 00:23:45
Yep. 00:23:51
There is between the. 00:23:53
The pharmacy queuing area there is a vertical curve that's separating. 00:23:55
You know that it'll be elevated from the sidewalk elevation. 00:24:00
So that the you know the cars won't be able to. 00:24:05
So you have to jump a curve to get across. 00:24:07
The sidewalk. 00:24:10
In that section. 00:24:11
And then the curve ends when. 00:24:14
You know when they come in and when they come out where those pavement changes are happening. 00:24:16
Yeah. Any, any questions? 00:24:27
To me. Oh, go ahead. No, I I want to acknowledge that. 00:24:31
And thank you for your creativity with it. And that is a tough site. 00:24:34
Because really the only place to locate this. 00:24:38
For a drive through is having access that's on the north side but East and West road which requires crossing traffic to access. 00:24:43
I am fully acknowledged the difficulty with that. 00:24:52
My question and I don't know if it's gonna necessarily for you or for planners. 00:24:55
Did we ever consider or do we? 00:24:59
Just prohibit. 00:25:02
Accessing all of this from the. 00:25:05
Parking lot itself. 00:25:07
So. 00:25:09
Some people can just come from the drive through rather than potentially queuing or anything. I'm just curious if our code 00:25:13
prohibits anything like that. 00:25:17
That might even be a question for nothing, because you have. 00:25:22
Parking lot exit right here that we've done kind of creating this. 00:25:25
Area of conflict between the drive through exit and and the people exiting the parking lot. And we did discuss it in our in the, 00:25:29
in the site plan and I, I think so having them exit out in the parking lot seems like that could potentially be a possibility, but 00:25:35
having them enter in from the parking lot seem problematic because it puts you in kind of a reverse umm. 00:25:41
Position with the backing tube. 00:25:48
Umm, and so that that, sorry. 00:25:50
If you pull into the driveway going to the West and you're serving for the 19 two the air tube like bank seller. 00:25:55
Because you're now the driver facing on the left side in the. 00:26:02
Front side on the right side. Got it, Got it. 00:26:05
We, we, uh, one of the other challenges too, of, of this particular layout and being on the South side, this is really the only 00:26:08
side of the grocery store we can send services into, Yeah. 00:26:14
The east elevation is. 00:26:20
You know, really nice elevation that we don't wanna be sending like power into that that side of the grocery store. So it's coming 00:26:22
in from the South. 00:26:26
And then we have residential. 00:26:31
Can't be building on the north and the West, so we can't really have. 00:26:33
Services coming in from that side, so. 00:26:38
The South side kinda takes the brunt. 00:26:40
Of all of the the. 00:26:42
The water, sewer, power, everything's coming in from this. 00:26:44
Kinda narrow. 00:26:50
Yeah. 00:26:51
Side of the building. 00:26:52
Yeah. 00:26:54
Can we go over the traffic analysis? 00:26:58
Yeah. 00:27:01
Umm. 00:27:03
Who believes? Oh no, that's not it's not going up. There we go. 00:27:05
Soon it was performed by UH Hale. 00:27:09
Engineering umm, which they're a recital firm in the area. We we use them pretty frequently. 00:27:12
Umm, and the things that just step out and you can probably have a better, you know, understanding of, of this, but. 00:27:18
Essentially they they find that umm. 00:27:24
Umm, the queueing defenses adequate for a pharmaceutical need. 00:27:26
Umm and that there is access to the drive through, although once the. 00:27:29
Going back to this image here. 00:27:35
Once this intersection here blocks off. 00:27:38
It will create a little bit, you know, people are gonna have to go up to the the square about in order to get back to the 00:27:41
pharmacy. 00:27:44
I don't know if I did that just a second zoom out instead. 00:27:48
So I'll. 00:27:52
Plead ignorance here. Never heard the term square of that. You turn in an intersection that's disappeared. Just kind of like a 00:27:53
large uh. 00:27:58
Roundabout, that's part of the problem on it. It's one of the problem that's blocked. I function like a roundabout, but it happens 00:28:02
to be square. Yeah, you you can go drive through it, right? 00:28:07
Yeah, you can go drive through right now if you want. Brought the name that we were. 00:28:11
So yeah, essentially the like it's more of a rectangular ball, but. 00:28:18
The report says that people to access it, once this is blocked off, they're going to have to go up to the square about and 00:28:22
essentially put EU turn coming back down Main Street to take a right. 00:28:26
Yeah, or they're gonna have to go all the way back around this way. Yeah, well. 00:28:31
Right now that seems crazy intimidating. 00:28:36
Of like, why would we create all of these things? 00:28:39
This is at build out. 00:28:43
Alright. 00:28:45
Ten years plus in the future, yeah, That intersection doesn't get closed off, OK. 00:28:46
I mean, it all depends on how quickly we build and. 00:28:51
We're projecting we wouldn't be closing that offer. 00:28:54
I think like 10 plus years, Yeah, I'm just trying to remember. 00:28:59
What life was like 10 years ago and I did not use Amazon nearly as much as I used that. And I can only imagine what technology is 00:29:02
gonna be different 10 years from now when it comes to delivery of everything. 00:29:09
And so. 00:29:15
That doesn't concern me as much because I have a feeling that the strategy that's proposed right now will likely change 10 years 00:29:16
from now to reflect whatever the circumstances are at that point. Well, you also gotta imagine too, with a pharmacy, typically you 00:29:21
have a set pharmacy that that like you have the, the pharmacy that you go to. So the hope is that maybe the first time it's 00:29:27
confusing, but once your pattern is established and you know, around 10 years from now, I'm getting my meds from a pharmaceutical 00:29:32
robot. 00:29:37
I, I'm a A it's really hard for me to say 10 years from now this is what it's going to be because. 00:29:44
The the advancements and just the change in behaviors impossible to prove. 00:29:51
I guess I guess my point is the pharmacy is a little different than others. 00:29:56
Type drive through uses. 00:29:59
Umm, where you typically are gonna have like an established, umm, pharmacy that, that you're gonna be getting your prescriptions 00:30:00
to. And the other thing I did wanna bring up is this map showing kind of the existing grid network. 00:30:06
Umm and and soon to be bridge that will be constructed this year right here. 00:30:11
Uh, over the vineyard connector and so residents who, who do live, you know, maybe in the, the western part of the vineyard, they 00:30:16
would be able to go up 300 W. 00:30:20
Get onto this bridge and they would be right there at that grocery store. Just probably as simple as a lot quicker than going 00:30:24
through Main Street and over. 00:30:28
So you know that that's also another viable option of of accessing Skype rather than, you know, going through, Oh, this is that 00:30:32
square about. You can kind of see a better picture up here. Got it. So, umm, is there anyone from health engineering here? 00:30:38
To speak to us now. 00:30:45
Not not lastly joined online. 00:30:47
OK. 00:30:50
Yeah, umm, and maybe we just didn't request it. 00:30:51
My only concern with it is it doesn't necessarily give a recommendation or opinion. 00:30:55
As much as it just. 00:31:01
In in conclusion, let me summarize what it is. 00:31:03
Umm, which is great. It's great that the engineer was able to say yes, there's storage for three vehicles, and yes, it will always 00:31:06
be. 00:31:10
Accessible. 00:31:15
That's what our code requires and so I can't really make any argument beyond what the code. 00:31:16
Requires there umm. 00:31:21
It would have been nice if we had a traffic engineer that said. 00:31:24
This is what I would recommend we do. Does that make sense? 00:31:27
Sharing that. 00:31:31
Umm, yeah, and that that this is one of those things too. I mean from the. 00:31:33
Planning Commission, if you feel like you need more information, you know, I wouldn't say continue, but there, there are times 00:31:37
where you know that that is always an option, Uh. 00:31:41
Umm, being a conditional use permit, so you have a minimum requirement, you can take those, but if you identify some sort of 00:31:46
detrimental, umm, impact that the use is gonna generate, that's where you, you do have the ability to use conditions, umm, to, to 00:31:52
help mitigate any of those. And so if you're able to identify something that could be conditioned upon the approval to mitigate a 00:31:58
potential concerns and then we could, we could consider as well. Yeah, I'm totally gonna and I. 00:32:04
I mean, I'd love to hear everyone else's, umm, I, I don't know if necessarily there's more information that is needed. I believe 00:32:11
when we were discussing it before and we asked for this, the concern was just the amount of backing up that would occur. 00:32:18
And you're gonna end up with not only the crosswalk block, but then a line coming down of, you know, people. 00:32:25
Turning right to turn onto the streets and then go in. 00:32:31
The analysis it doesn't really cover to the engineers think based off of the traffic patterns is that going to occur and then with 00:32:34
three extra calls be enough. So that's discussed, you know, with the yeah, we generic, I mean we talked about it, we talked, I 00:32:39
gave them the context of the meeting. 00:32:45
And the conditions that were. 00:32:51
Added in the text amendment. I gave them those we talked through a study. 00:32:54
Several. 00:32:58
Grocery store pharmacies in our area. 00:32:59
They even reached outside of our area up in I think Heber, where there's a. 00:33:03
Uh, we use with a a pharmacy. 00:33:08
So they evaluated several and they came back and felt like the three. 00:33:11
Queueing stalls that were identified in the code were adequate for this store as well. I I think that solution does work. 00:33:15
Because if the pharmacist observes and sees that the queue is gonna get bad, they say OK, while we're preparing it, just go on 00:33:23
parking the parking lot. 00:33:27
You know and and we'll let you know when it's ready rather than you waiting in the drive through. 00:33:32
I mean, I hate to always compare it to drive through restaurants. 00:33:37
But every drafty restaurant. Oh, your fries aren't ready. I'm not gonna have you wait here and hold up traffic. Go up to this 00:33:41
spot. 00:33:45
And we'll let you know when it's ready or we'll come and bring it up to you. I feel like it's just using that same strategy, 00:33:49
right? Exactly, exactly. 00:33:52
Yeah. So that for me, I understand how they address. 00:33:58
Thank you. Yes, you're there. Something to, uh, consider as well. So possibly. 00:34:02
Convention about this having three parking spaces that could serve. 00:34:08
Umm like overflow or peak hour stuff? Umm and they can get text messages. 00:34:12
That would be an appropriate condition of of approval having a minimum of three parking spaces that can be dedicated to umm the 00:34:18
the the pharmacy drive through. 00:34:22
Yeah. And especially if you're willing to do that, yeah. 00:34:28
Yeah, that's in. 00:34:31
It's it's yeah. But I, I, I would, it's just a. 00:34:33
When you make the the motion, I that that would be a good condition to attach to it. Mm-hmm. 00:34:37
Pressure that you're getting from the tractor in there. 00:34:45
Any other? 00:34:47
Question. 00:34:49
Mm-hmm. Yeah. So we're gonna open it up to public comment. 00:34:51
No. 00:34:58
So just come forward and state your name. 00:35:00
Diarrhea. Correct. I, I remember. Thank you, Mr. Brown. Everyone else will. 00:35:08
Uh, let's take a sorry, Evan's still a resident. I just have a question about the pay paving. 00:35:13
Are they going to be brick pavers? 00:35:20
That delineates those different areas. 00:35:23
Have you seen the roundabouts on Center St. and how they're all cracking up? 00:35:27
So I'll, I'll write down the questions and then we can follow up. So yeah, that's what I want to know. What? 00:35:31
What the paving is gonna be like and how they're gonna mitigate. 00:35:36
The tracking and the crumbling. 00:35:40
Because of free sauce situation. Thank you. 00:35:43
All right. 00:35:47
Kerry Ewing from the Village, you said? Carrie. Carrie. Carrie. Sorry. 00:35:55
I have an architectural background. This is sort of confusing for me. 00:36:00
It's like I'm not sure what the question is. How do you? 00:36:05
Is that not the front of the store or is the front of the store in front? 00:36:11
Parking lot and how do you get in? 00:36:15
Can you just go in and get your prescription? 00:36:17
OK. 00:36:20
So. 00:36:22
You want you want me to ask them to give a more overview of the structural layout of the store and. 00:36:23
OK, so there the windows are where on the left hand no. 00:36:28
This is where my cursor is at. Is where the drive through would be located in your pharmacy. 00:36:34
The front elevation to the east. This is looking WI got a front elevation so this drive through. 00:36:39
It's on the side. 00:36:45
On the South side, OK. 00:36:49
Yeah. And and so you're not going to you're not going to tell residents I'm trying to make. 00:36:52
Question. 00:36:57
Yeah, I can have residence. 00:36:59
That they go through and. 00:37:01
And then have to leave. 00:37:05
And then drive around. 00:37:08
And they'll when they text them where they I don't understand. 00:37:10
This is the first time I've seen it. I couldn't buy it. 00:37:17
OK. So we gotta, we have Bronson when he comes back, explain the flow of the child pattern kind of the customer experience. Is 00:37:22
that kinda what you're asking? 00:37:26
Yeah, because I'm. 00:37:30
Well, we'll ask him to come and explain it and then I'll open public comment back up again after you understand it more and then 00:37:34
we can address. 00:37:38
North SE West. 00:37:42
But there it is, there it is OK. 00:37:46
Huh. 00:37:49
All right. Well, did I give you any questions at all or was I just up here fumbling? No, we'll have some more presentation done on 00:37:51
it and then if it doesn't answer it. 00:37:56
I think you're saying most of the grocery stores that I go to, you go in and get your prescription. 00:38:01
Perhaps get a little talk to that. 00:38:10
That could that could be a question. 00:38:11
Can I manage? 00:38:14
OK. 00:38:16
Thank you, Terry. 00:38:21
Uh, any other comments from the public? 00:38:23
OK. 00:38:26
Russell, 11, of the Villains. 00:38:32
Umm, no questions, just. I think it's just a case of trying to cram too much into too little. 00:38:34
Thanks. Uh, and it's probably too late to do anything here and there on now, but for the future development. 00:38:39
I mean we got trucks backing and backing up, backing a public St. and back in. 00:38:47
That's not right. 00:38:52
We've got a a farmer drive through that's gonna be hard to access, accessible for half the people depending on which direction 00:38:53
they're coming from. 00:38:57
Umm, you've got a resident right next residence right next to the store. 00:39:02
So if the trucks come in at night, you can hear the beeping going on. Beep, beep beep. 00:39:06
Going on at night, waking up residents, it's just. 00:39:11
I just see it being it's all about the money. Let's grab as much as we can and. 00:39:14
And, uh, I think it's just, uh. 00:39:19
It's just we need to consider quality of life. I really feel like quality of life is being neglected. 00:39:22
Uh, with a lot of what's going on. And so that's my comment. Thank you. Thank you, Russell. 00:39:27
Karen Cornelius Abilities. 00:39:44
I think for the casual. 00:39:47
Renewing a prescription and picking it up. 00:39:49
That might be OK. 00:39:52
But if you've got somebody in the car with you. 00:39:53
That just has surgery that you need the medication to take home with you. 00:39:56
And they tell you that you're gonna go sit in the parking lot and then you've got to drive around again and find yourself back in 00:40:00
the queue. 00:40:04
To get the prescription would be a nightmare. 00:40:08
I say forget it. 00:40:11
So I can walk into the store and get what we need. 00:40:13
And if we need something sooner than that, which is a different pharmacist, but I think. 00:40:16
That's just a nightmare. I think Russ has it right. We are just planning so much in to so little space. 00:40:21
That we are ignoring the quality of life. 00:40:29
Thanks. 00:40:31
Thank you, Karen. 00:40:33
Hello, go ahead and close, uh, public comment. 00:40:38
Uh, Bronson, would you wanna come up and respond to uh. 00:40:43
Let's go in order. 00:40:47
With the, uh, question about paving, uh, and bricks and how we're gonna avoid cracking. 00:40:49
Yeah, so the center St. 00:40:54
Paving is I believe it's a stamped concrete. 00:40:57
That's painted. 00:41:01
These would be actually unit pavers. 00:41:02
And the concrete pavers that are individually set. 00:41:05
For materials different, they won't they won't crack. 00:41:08
Umm. 00:41:11
And. 00:41:14
I don't, I don't know which. 00:41:15
Favorite style? We have selected for this off the top of my head, but we're using. 00:41:17
We're using unit pavers all over the project. 00:41:22
So this wouldn't be the only spot where they're they're used. 00:41:26
Umm, so you know, long term maintenance I think is. 00:41:30
A lot better on a unit paver than a than a stamped concrete. 00:41:34
Umm, as far as the the question on circulation. 00:41:38
Umm, there. 00:41:43
There is an option to go inside the store to the pharmacy, so you could always pick up your. 00:41:45
Your prescription through the store. 00:41:51
The drive through is just. 00:41:54
For convenience. 00:41:56
Umm. 00:41:57
A lot of times when, at least in my experience of picking up prescriptions. 00:41:59
Usually the doctor will call it in. 00:42:04
And then you're notified when they're ready. 00:42:06
Umm, and that's when you would go to go pick them up is when they're ready. So they're not actually U. 00:42:09
There are situations where you take the prescription I guess and give it to them and they have to fill it. 00:42:15
And there's that, that time period, but. 00:42:20
That's where I think we would ask people to go park in the parking lot and then come back into the queue. 00:42:23
But the idea is that that queue would be moving pretty quickly. 00:42:28
It's just. 00:42:31
People aren't sitting in the queue in those three stalls. 00:42:33
Waiting for a prescription to be filled. They're going because they they know it's already done and they're just going to pick it 00:42:37
up. 00:42:40
So I don't. 00:42:44
I don't imagine the queue link would be. 00:42:45
Very long in there, but there there is the option to go inside the store too to pick it up. 00:42:48
And I've I've had the experience for. 00:42:53
Time to pick it up. They're filling it, it's not ready yet. So you go in the store and you. 00:42:56
Figure out a way to. 00:43:02
Half the time until it's ready. 00:43:04
Umm, could you explain to just the flow of the traffic where they get the parking? 00:43:06
Umm yeah, so umm. 00:43:12
Do I need them out? 00:43:16
Yeah, OK. It's OK. So if you come in from. 00:43:19
From the the West is left, north is up. 00:43:24
So if you're coming in from the left and you're from the West and you enter into the drive through. 00:43:28
You would enter the queue there. You'd be up to the window. Yep, keep going. All right, a little bit on the hand, Yep. So the 00:43:33
windows kind of right in there. 00:43:37
Then you'd exit. 00:43:41
Out that way and if you were asked to go and wait, you would go into the parking lot. 00:43:42
Waiting most stalls there. 00:43:48
When you're notified, it's ready to come back out and go back into the queue. 00:43:50
Where they'll be signing? Is there a discussion of signage for the dedicated parking and wayfinding? I mean that that's a 00:43:54
condition of approval that that you, you could attach to that, that that would very clearly, umm. 00:44:00
Be in appropriate condition if if you search it. 00:44:06
And then? 00:44:13
And Bronson. And that for the question too. If, if that's where, how they wanna go with it. Umm. 00:44:14
Do you have like, is that something that you look at like a minimum number of stalls that would need to be umm to accommodate 00:44:19
overflow or did the traffic impact study mentioned how many? It did not. I just said that they could use some parking. Stalls 00:44:25
could also be reserved for the pharmacy. Skewing demand is higher than anticipated. 00:44:31
I mean, if you preserve some, at least that would make sure they're not getting umm, overrun like just a general grocery. 00:44:37
For a little bit of context too, when we went through the the grocery store site plan approval. 00:44:43
And the parking lot was looked at. The parking lot is. 00:44:49
Over double the amount of stalls that's needed. 00:44:52
For the grocery store. 00:44:56
And so I'm not too worried. I mean, we can definitely designate yourself for the pharmacy, for the waiting. 00:44:58
But we do have. 00:45:04
A lot of parking in there but. 00:45:05
There is no harm in just designating some of the fourth pharmacy and. 00:45:08
If you wanna give a a quantity, we can also. 00:45:12
You know. 00:45:15
I don't know if you could put like a time condition of like let's evaluate this for a year and then we'll. 00:45:18
Solidify what that number is. 00:45:23
After you know of operations but. 00:45:26
I think it's gonna be in the pharmacy's best interest to make sure they're reserving enough spaces based on their experience. 00:45:28
Umm. 00:45:35
And then maybe if we can put back to the the elevation. 00:45:36
We can talk through that. 00:45:40
So, uh. 00:45:43
So yeah, what what you guys were explaining this is the front elevation is. 00:45:45
So your. 00:45:49
Standing like in the parking lot, looking back. 00:45:50
Toward the West. 00:45:54
Kind of confusing. This is the east elevation. 00:45:56
It's the elevation spacing you, but we're looking at it. 00:45:59
Looking West. 00:46:03
If that makes sense. Yeah, yeah. Let's keep it simple. So we're looking from the parking lot back at the front of the store. 00:46:04
And the larger volume is the main entrance like where it steps up. 00:46:12
The center of that is where the entrance is into the grocery store. The pharmacy will be on the on the far left of the grocery 00:46:16
store. 00:46:20
And so the drive through you're kind of looking at. 00:46:25
The car would be facing us, sitting in the at the window of the pharmacy. Could there be a possibility of doing a door? 00:46:28
That is more like that's closer to the pharmacy. 00:46:36
So you've seen that Macy's will have like the words of that, like it's like multiple entries. Yeah, we we talked about that, but 00:46:40
because of the merchandising. 00:46:44
It doesn't work out very good to put the door over there. 00:46:49
Umm, so then if you go to the next elevation there? 00:46:53
Yeah. So this is. 00:46:56
The South elevation, we're standing. 00:46:58
Like in the street, looking back at the grocery stores from the South. 00:47:00
We're looking north. 00:47:04
And. 00:47:06
You can kind of see that larger volume of the main entry, like 4 year piece, you can see it sticking up and out. 00:47:08
We're looking at the side of it now. 00:47:15
And then the lower windows. 00:47:17
Or the pharmacy windows one of those four. 00:47:21
Will be the actual window that opens. I'm guessing it's one of the. 00:47:24
Center too, and we will be looking at the side of a car. 00:47:27
Yeah. 00:47:33
Umm, cash? Was there, uh, an auto turn exhibit in the packet that shows how the card is turned through that? Maybe that would be 00:47:35
helpful. 00:47:40
Was there a discussion ever? Because if if there are gonna be cars having to pull out, go and then go back into the parking lot, 00:47:46
they're still doing this Weird kinda U-turn. 00:47:50
Was there a discussion of having a a dual option where one they could still pull out? But could they just? 00:47:55
Go straight. 00:48:02
To then. 00:48:04
Yeah, we we actually talked about that. 00:48:07
Yeah, yeah. What is there? Is there anything blocking? Uh, yeah. There's some utilities there. Like you zoom in, there's a box. 00:48:11
I mean, I was just posing it. Yeah, we we definitely looked at that. We looked at moving the box to see if that the drive through 00:48:19
could pull straight out. 00:48:22
And join the. 00:48:26
Entrance and exit of the parking lot. 00:48:29
But the traffic? 00:48:31
Study on that. 00:48:33
Show that it was too conflicted yeah and and it could end up being that the stacking would be worse you know like cars wouldn't be 00:48:34
able to get out because. 00:48:38
Of the pharmacy queuing because they're waiting for. 00:48:42
Cars to come out of the parking. 00:48:46
Your cash. You wanna send this auto turn exhibit to you real quick. 00:48:50
So this this took uh. 00:48:58
What does it uh. 00:49:00
Uh, server A 2018 Suburban. 00:49:02
Through there and it shows you kind of the path, the will path. 00:49:06
In blue, so maybe that'll be helpful. 00:49:11
Now to reiterate. 00:49:14
We've already provided above and beyond the parking standard. 00:49:17
Right, OK. 00:49:20
It was there any consideration in moving the driveway? 00:49:22
Do you know the parking? Yeah. So yeah, we lose a few parking spaces. 00:49:27
But if we move the driveway a little bit to the right. 00:49:32
Then does that potentially address the conflict of? 00:49:36
Umm umm. 00:49:41
Not well, it does lengthen. 00:49:43
And then? 00:49:47
Yeah. 00:49:48
We're just thinking that louder. 00:49:51
The thing we did look at that we didn't look at that scenario if we moved, uh. 00:49:53
Entrance into the parking lot further what we. 00:49:57
The reason why it landed where it did? 00:49:59
Was because of proximity to the intersection. 00:50:01
And so I kind of put it that way the. 00:50:05
To travel past that. 00:50:09
That we're also looking at, like coming in front of the store. 00:50:11
So then, uh, I guess if you were exiting to come back through the parking and then exit? 00:50:14
Was also just, you know, extending the length of. 00:50:21
Uh, uh, potential stacking through there. One of the other kind of problems is. 00:50:24
It's a super short throat. 00:50:30
You know, from the street back into the parking lot. 00:50:33
Umm, and that, that's more of the problem with the cars coming out of the. 00:50:36
Of the pharmacy and joining. 00:50:41
That area is just such a short. 00:50:43
Throat, right? 00:50:47
OK. 00:50:49
Any other? 00:50:53
Things on your list, Chris. 00:50:54
Umm. 00:50:57
You said, and you did say there's an internal they can just go inside and have their prescription inside, uh. 00:51:00
I think the other two were more common, not questions. 00:51:05
OK, alright. 00:51:09
Umm. 00:51:10
All right, I. 00:51:12
Gonna open this back up to uh, public comment. Were there any other comments based off of that explanation and walk through? 00:51:14
And because you. 00:51:23
Have any? 00:51:25
Yeah, yeah. Do you have a question that you wanted to ask now? OK. Yep, I opened it back up. 00:51:27
State your name again. 00:51:33
How many square feet is this grocery store? 00:51:39
And because I know there's a calculator for figuring out parking spaces. 00:51:45
So. 00:51:54
See that and then my understanding is that for parking stacking. 00:51:56
It's 5 vehicles, not 3. 00:52:02
Maybe that's just Salt Lake. 00:52:07
County that I think it supplies pretty much across everywhere. 00:52:09
So that's. 00:52:14
Question too, because, you know, we have parking problems. 00:52:16
Didn't you hold on? 00:52:19
So I can't I can't count them. 00:52:25
I know there's calculator to figure it out. 00:52:30
I I think umm. 00:52:33
Nathan had asked a question that meets the existing requirement. So the three is what was in the standard and then? 00:52:34
Uh, requirement for stacking I think is what we, we had to meet. It was 60 feet and they've done 75. 00:52:42
And then they, uh, allocated up to three. We could discuss a bit more of dedicated spaces than for. 00:52:47
Overflow, but with the existing requirements, the applicant spent what's required there according to the current standard. 00:52:54
And and maybe just for clarification, this site plan has been approved. We are just talking about the the drive through aspects of 00:53:01
coming back for an amendment. 00:53:04
Yeah. So, yeah, that's what I think is when you're asking about the size of the grocery store and the parking, they they've 00:53:09
already met this and we did that calculation of of how many square feet equals how many parking stalls and they were well above 00:53:13
that that requirement. 00:53:17
So hopefully that helps. I, I don't, I want to stay in the grocery stores 40,000 square feet Bronson around there. 00:53:21
41. 00:53:28
42,000 square feet. 00:53:29
So yeah, you're, you're absolutely right that there's this parking minimum calculation that we did do and they are above that 00:53:31
center. 00:53:33
Yep. 00:53:37
Yeah, so the the Planning Commission tonight is just approving. 00:53:38
For making a decision on only the drive through the the site plan was approved. I wanna say in like October or November, even 00:53:42
before that. 00:53:46
And they're already starting construction. 00:53:50
That's my other question. 00:53:55
You don't approve it, then what? 00:53:56
All right. 00:54:00
Huh. We'll close public comment. Ross, did you have text? Thank you. 00:54:02
Final comments and response I I'm surprised it didn't come up, but the grocery store did start. 00:54:07
Construction, like Cash said. So we're, we're tracking, uh, our schedule to be done in November. 00:54:13
Umm. 00:54:21
A lot of like what's been done so far is some of the underground. 00:54:23
Uh, utility work. 00:54:26
And all of the site pad prep, if you go out there today, you'll see that there's a. 00:54:28
The construction fence is up. 00:54:33
The next subcontractors will mobilize. 00:54:35
On the 27th. 00:54:38
Is that Monday? 00:54:40
27th. 00:54:41
Whatever day it is, the 27th so. 00:54:43
We should start seeing, you know, a lot more action happening. 00:54:46
On site but umm sorry, what? Plans to be on the 27th. 00:54:50
The next subcontractors will mobilize on site. So like excavator coming in to dig. 00:54:55
For the Foundation. 00:55:00
Umm. 00:55:02
A lot of the materials are are being ordered right now, so. 00:55:04
Umm, we should start seeing like the in the next couple months that we'll actually see the grocery store going vertical and. 00:55:07
It'll be exciting. 00:55:17
Umm, there will be a little, uh. 00:55:19
Uh, ceremonial event on the 11th. 00:55:21
Umm, it's just a smaller kind of photo op of. 00:55:25
Like the grocery store is under construction. There's probably gonna be. 00:55:28
A press release around that time. 00:55:32
On on Bella's grocery store and then. 00:55:35
Uh, there will be. 00:55:38
Uh, some kind of grand opening event? 00:55:40
They will announce. 00:55:43
As we get closer. 00:55:45
Yeah, we're super excited. 00:55:47
OK. Thank you. Thank you. 00:55:49
All right. 00:55:51
I have one confirm and then a few comments. 00:55:53
Umm, if we're. 00:55:57
We're closing public comment now. We can all speak, OK? 00:55:59
My only real concern is the right turn. Umm. 00:56:02
We talked about it really briefly. Could you put the exhibit of the? 00:56:06
Uh, suburban. 00:56:10
Turning radius. 00:56:12
Umm OK, that unfortunately doesn't show what my only concern. 00:56:14
I'm going here. 00:56:22
Need to turn in. 00:56:23
I'm bold and nervous about like an off to power scenario where we're gonna do A7 point turn. 00:56:25
OK, in order to get in. 00:56:33
That's really my only concern with this layout. I would have hoped that. 00:56:35
That is the kind of stuff that I usually like to see with traffic engineer reports to say, yeah, even with the largest of cars, a 00:56:40
limousine could make that turn. 00:56:44
Here. 00:56:50
The 2018 Suburban is awesome if it's going at it straight. 00:56:52
So I don't want to hold out to any approvals for it. 00:56:57
Display alert. 00:57:01
Alert I'm going to, uh, move to approve it, but I'm. 00:57:02
So I'm thinking of adding a condition. 00:57:06
That we can just prove that. 00:57:09
Parts can reasonably make that turn. 00:57:12
Umm, I. 00:57:14
You can tell me if you think that is true. No, no, no, this software does it just fine. Uh. 00:57:16
Umm, I just need to see it. 00:57:25
From what is going to be the normal load of traffic? 00:57:26
And some are gonna be coming from here and then turning left. 00:57:30
But for the 1st 10 years. 00:57:34
People are gonna be going this way. 00:57:36
And if they're coming from the parking lot? 00:57:38
They're coming this way. 00:57:40
So I I just wanna make sure we can make that term safely. 00:57:41
Uh, this is uh, I apologize for having stepped out of the, uh, out of the meeting earlier. 00:57:45
I think a work call. 00:57:50
Umm, so. 00:57:51
Uh, with the site. Umm. 00:57:53
Uh, on, uh, precise plans and so forth, I mean, the applicant is still going to have to submit a, uh, amendment to revision to our 00:57:55
land service permit. 00:57:59
And our landing service permit is going to, uh, require them to go through your technical review. 00:58:04
On, on our price, we provide them some, uh, preliminary comments. 00:58:09
Umm, we, we, we can provide some preliminary comments in regards to this. 00:58:13
Uh, drive through, Umm, but uh. 00:58:17
And umm, umm, after the site plan, uh, has it's, it's uh, haven't been approved. Then after we'll be able to submit for a revi 00:58:21
revision to our advanced service permit. The advanced service permit will be OK. Umm, let's go through their actual technical. 00:58:28
Uh, review. 00:58:35
OK, there's like, for example, there's a umm. 00:58:36
Left turn, uh, uh, a left turn into the grocery store, and that's where that's been planned. 00:58:39
Uh, on that it's, it's not on their land and service permit and then, but when they, so when they submit that revision. 00:58:45
And then the city will be able to. 00:58:51
Review that to say OK and does that require a umm? 00:58:53
A left turn. Umm. 00:58:57
Uh, when like I, I left a jacket, left her online in order to make sure that it doesn't, uh, you know, uh, bog down traffic. 00:58:59
Uh, as an example, uh, and then for the drive through. 00:59:06
Uh will require the applicant to show. 00:59:10
That's, uh, the turning radiuses are adequate. 00:59:13
As well, uh, to to that level of detail. 00:59:16
All right. I, I, I will still be requesting that specific issue. No, that's not the address. So that is not the address in the 00:59:19
technical review. That's perfect. That's fine. OK. 00:59:23
Umm. 00:59:27
You just other comments and then I'll stop talking. 00:59:29
Umm, for me? 00:59:32
The issue isn't about cramming too much in the small space. Umm, really? This? This is a choice of an architect. 00:59:33
Umm, to the drive through or no drive through? 00:59:39
He's putting in the grocery store and putting in a pharmacy. 00:59:42
That's honestly something that the community needs, and so I'm grateful for this. I don't want any of this to seem like I'm not 00:59:45
grateful. 00:59:49
I think the community needs it. 00:59:53
Me, I always walk in to get my prescription. Walgreens has an awesome drive through. Maybe I've never used it but I know people 00:59:55
do. 01:00:00
So I'm grateful. 01:00:04
That it is a resource for people who may not be. 01:00:06
As incredibly fit as I am where I can get out of my car. 01:00:10
You know, maybe there this doesn't happen naturally because I walk in to get my prescription. 01:00:13
Uh, but there are many others who might have a broken foot that are unable to do so. So in that sense, I'm glad. 01:00:18
That an amendment. 01:00:25
An amendment is before us tonight. 01:00:27
To consider adding a drive through. 01:00:29
To a plan that was already approved that wouldn't have a. 01:00:32
As we said, the grocery store is already under construction. 01:00:36
It already had a pharmacy component. 01:00:39
This is SIM because all of that was approved months ago. 01:00:41
This is simply adding a drive through component. 01:00:44
Which is greater accessibility for those who may need it? 01:00:47
So in that sense, I'm very grateful for it. 01:00:51
Umm. 01:00:53
I think we may be getting too involved. 01:00:55
In a private business decision on how they conduct their business. 01:00:58
For me that's like forcing Target to put their drop off box somewhere they don't have to put up. 01:01:02
Grocery drop off location. 01:01:08
They did that as a business decision. 01:01:09
A drive through, I think as a business business decision. I don't wanna get too involved in telling them how to conduct their 01:01:12
business. Where. 01:01:16
How many? 01:01:20
The spots they need to block off for that. 01:01:21
I think that's gonna come as they conduct their business and they realize, OK, we usually need to, we usually need three. I 01:01:24
personally don't think. 01:01:28
Government needs to get involved in that. I think that's a private person, business owner running their business that can make 01:01:32
that decision. 01:01:35
Quality of life in that sense, but that's in the eye of the beholder. When I was a 20 something, I would have loved to have a 01:01:39
grocery grocery store right next to my apartment. 01:01:43
And that's why this is apartments right next door grocery store. 01:01:48
If I didn't want that, I wouldn't have lived in Washington DC and then urban area. 01:01:51
I wouldn't have but my own personal taste. 01:01:57
My ideal place to live in the town, Manhattan, it's packed. It's crazy. And some people would say that sounds miserable. 01:02:01
Other people love it. 01:02:09
In fact, millions of people love it. That's why they live there. 01:02:11
OK. And so? 01:02:13
I like that we're offering diversity. 01:02:15
Here in Vineyard. 01:02:18
There's. 01:02:20
Low density, medium density and high density. 01:02:22
Because we want to be a community that attracts a variety of people. 01:02:25
And so I like that and I thank you. 01:02:28
And all of our other applicants and developers who bring in a variety of uses and a variety of stuff. 01:02:31
Umm. 01:02:38
So like I said, really my only concern is that right turn area. 01:02:39
Uh, I support the project. 01:02:43
Umm, I would just like to see further clarification on that. So that's my only thought. 01:02:45
Any other comments? 01:02:51
Do you have a motion? 01:02:52
No one else wants to say anything. Then I will move to approve this amendment as it is presented. 01:02:58
On the condition. 01:03:04
That, uh, the right turn radius there, as I talked about previously, is addressed in the technical review. 01:03:06
And that, uh, specifics on the plan is at least presented when it comes to the overflow area. You know what I mean when I say 01:03:13
overflow area, right? I'm so sorry for whoever's driving this motion right now because it is very meandering. Umm. 01:03:20
I hope you get every word of it. Umm. 01:03:27
The parking space is if they don't have it immediately. 01:03:30
The only one. 01:03:34
How's that? 01:03:36
I think that was good did that. 01:03:39
Pay oversight that did not include the signage though. 01:03:40
I just want them to present a plan for it. I don't know if we need to necessarily require, but that's just part of my. I'm just 01:03:44
asking the planning. Can you account for overview sign into that? 01:03:48
Yeah. Do you, do you want that presented to like in the technical view committee, the DRC planning staff Planning Commission, what 01:03:53
level? I don't think any special Planning Commission again. 01:03:58
Or city engineer just said there's additional technical review after that. And so I'd like to address during that technical review 01:04:06
many, OK. 01:04:11
Is there a second for that motion? 01:04:18
One second. 01:04:22
All right, uh, and this is just. 01:04:24
Pro California all in favor? 01:04:26
Alright, alright. 01:04:28
All right, real, real quick, I can address that last question about like what a state they don't approve this because this is a 01:04:30
conditional use in in the state of Utah technically can consider the permitted use, but we can put conditions. 01:04:36
Such as what you thought, uh, making steel do? 01:04:41
Tonight where we want to have further analyzes to make sure that it won't create conflict. 01:04:44
Umm, But because it is, you know, conditional use, there's not much we could do to prevent it from happening. Only those 01:04:49
conditions to make sure that it works well with our community. 01:04:53
So just as a note that. 01:05:00
When we get more of those type of applications, you know that that you take the use applications is very important. 01:05:02
That's to understand perfect, not denied. They just wouldn't put that address here. 01:05:09
Uh-huh. We're gonna move to Item 6 at the work session, and we're gonna discuss the Forge Regionally Significant Entertainment Use 01:05:15
Certification. 01:05:20
Great. Thank you, Chair. 01:05:29
OK, umm. 01:05:35
So this this was an item. If you remember back, this would have been December 2023. 01:05:37
Umm, when the, uh, Dakota Pacific, umm. 01:05:43
Kinko crabs do you? 01:05:47
He's coming. Oh, he's coming. OK, great. 01:05:49
Right on time. 01:05:52
They umm. 01:05:55
They already made a decision, actually. 01:05:57
It wasn't good. It's a work session. It's working. Yeah. Yeah. So this is just a work session. Umm. So this is opportunity for the 01:06:00
Planning Commission to be able to ask questions. 01:06:05
Umm, to be able to, to analyze the site a little bit more detail if there's additional information that you would like into 01:06:09
consideration, and I'll provide the umm, advocate the opportunity to, umm, to, umm, uh, get, get that information. We do have an 01:06:14
economic analysis that was provided. 01:06:19
Showing kind of the regional nature of the of the use. 01:06:24
Umm, so during that December uh, 2023 meeting, the City Council, uh. 01:06:26
They provided the Planning Commission the authority to, uh, to make this, uh, search certification. So the certification is going 01:06:32
to be, uh. 01:06:35
Umm, to have a regionally significant entertainment anchor on the site. 01:06:40
Umm. And then there's some umm. 01:06:45
There's some kind of minimum requirements or umm, bullet points for your consideration that are laid out in the development 01:06:47
agreement. 01:06:51
Umm, but essentially, umm, some of the things that we need to look for is all seasons. So a A use that can be used umm. 01:06:54
Throughout the the year, uh. 01:07:02
Umm across visitors and tourists from a broader geographical area beyond. 01:07:05
Vineyard has an economic or social impact on the region. Uh. 01:07:09
Umm, substantial physical footprint relative to the entertainment land use areas. Land use area is gonna be the forge. 01:07:14
Umm, capacity to accommodate a large number of visitors. Cultural, recreational importance. 01:07:20
Uh, so the facility, uh. 01:07:26
Umm, it's one that can be used for hosting events or activities, and it speaks of, uh, those of a cult, Cultural, recreational, 01:07:28
entertainment. 01:07:32
Uh, nature. It could be things like sporting events, festivals, concerts. 01:07:37
Umm, does it have a regional draw of at least 10 miles? 01:07:42
More is even better. 01:07:46
Umm, but 10 is kind of what's called out in the, uh, in the development agreement. 01:07:48
Umm, and just kind of the overall economic impact, uh, the entertainment anchor shall contribute to the local and also the 01:07:53
regional economy by generating revenue from the entertainment anchor and nearby businesses. 01:08:00
So like is it helping to bring customers to the the nearby businesses? 01:08:06
Umm, let's go back to the site plan. 01:08:12
So this is a conceptual site plan showing the umm the location the applicant is proposing that S block umm. I did bring the 01:08:15
rendering. 01:08:20
Yeah, and so, umm. 01:08:28
I'll I'll, I'll let like umm, Steve present that the site information. 01:08:30
Umm, so in your staff report it lists out kind of those, those both points in the development agreement? 01:08:35
Umm. And so I I would just. 01:08:41
Ask you to to kind of hear them out and then any questions that you have to see if he achieved and for all clients. 01:08:44
Umm ask them and you'll have umm. 01:08:51
And then that's going to have until next meeting to, to, to provide you, umm, those, uh, responses. 01:08:53
Great. Good. Good evening. 01:09:02
Uh, yeah. So just over a year ago we got the development agreement approved and the threshold issue. That's really. 01:09:06
Critical to allowing development move forward is the identification of this entertainment anchor. At the time the development 01:09:12
agreement was approved, we had. 01:09:15
Several ideas swirling and folks interested. 01:09:19
Umm, a lot of those ideas were focused on what's kind of called entertainment category, right? So we've got. 01:09:22
Pickle ball in a large restaurant kind of on the same. 01:09:28
Compound or. 01:09:31
You, you know, they've got these, umm. 01:09:32
Uh, well, they have all kinds of entertainment now, from shuffleboard to, you know, batting cages. You combine a restaurant and 01:09:36
some kind of activity, and that's kind of a big trend. So that was a lot of the focus. 01:09:41
And we went to a lot of the national teams and, umm, we had. 01:09:46
Some significant interest, but in the end. 01:09:50
Alcohol sales in Utah, it just wasn't a primary market. And if they were coming to Utah. 01:09:52
Uh, Utah County wasn't where they were gonna put their first flag. So anybody on a more national scale? I probably talked to 20. 01:09:57
And that just kind of be kind of continued to run in into, uh, in, into a dead end. 01:10:04
And, umm. 01:10:10
And so. 01:10:12
This is critical to us because the development agreement ties our residential development progress. 01:10:14
In fact, let me just talk to that real quick. Uh, maybe I didn't get. 01:10:20
That one pulled up here. Hold on. 01:10:26
Umm, well, maybe the last time, but. 01:10:32
This is the language in the development agreement. It's a lot of words that didn't mean to put that much in there, but basically 01:10:39
the entertainment anchor has to start construction. 01:10:42
For any more than 25 residential units to be released. 01:10:46
And that really has to be complete before any more than 325 presidential units. 01:10:50
It can be released. 01:10:54
So it's critical to the timing of our residential development that was part of the negotiation. 01:10:55
And the second piece is uh. 01:10:59
Umm. 01:11:01
Then we said, well, let's focus on some commercial development then right now kind of along the road, let's build the retail. 01:11:03
Well, what we didn't want to do is build retail. That would preclude the site that the Entertainment Tinker ultimately wanted. 01:11:09
So we found ourselves in kind of a position where we could not advance development. 01:11:15
You know, we felt like we could have moved the retail forward last year, but we were not able to without the identification of the 01:11:19
entertainment anchor. So. 01:11:22
We have been talking to Momentum Climbing Gym for some time. 01:11:25
And there was always kind of an economic gap. Umm, John's here, he's the CFO of, of Momentum Climate and. 01:11:28
We had a lot of discussions back and forth on on land price and you know, umm. 01:11:34
They're kind of willing to kind of go to a more industrial area where we think that you should really come to an entertainment 01:11:39
area. 01:11:41
And so, umm, a lot of back and forth. 01:11:44
Basically what we're agreeing to do is subsidized. 01:11:47
And a little per purchase for momentum to come in. Check this box, bring this use to an area, combine it with food and beverage. 01:11:50
And really let this be a hub and, and we'll be able to talk about sales and some other things and regional significance. But 01:11:55
really the significant impact is as big, if not bigger than anything if we combine, you know, the food and beverages associated 01:12:00
with it. 01:12:04
As anything, we were looking at last year. So I'm pretty excited about it. I think it's a great opportunity. 01:12:09
Umm, so the. 01:12:15
Again, these are the threshold requirements in the development agreement. 01:12:17
It's got to kind of be a substantial footprint of the entertainment land use area which I can show you whether it is basically a 01:12:21
four acre. 01:12:24
Uh, Lot 1 on the corner of Mill Road and umm. 01:12:28
And then your character, we're asking for a different location and we'll talk about why, but the size and capacity. 01:12:32
Similar to to what's agreed to or or discussed in in in this bullet. 01:12:39
Uh, it talks about sporting events being one of the, you know, categories to meet the cultural or recreational importance at least 01:12:44
10 miles. 01:12:48
John will be able to talk about zip codes and what his typical stores draw, but we've also used Placer AI reports to kind of show 01:12:52
that and build that up. 01:12:55
And then the economic impact, umm, we've got, we've got a study from Zion Bank. 01:12:59
Umm. I'm gonna. 01:13:05
I'll just share for a second and pull up my other. 01:13:08
Make sure I can find it here. 01:13:14
Www.whileyouredoingthat thanks. 01:13:27
As to umm, as as we talked about the proposed location, could we also put up the satellite imagery, just Google Maps as well to 01:13:28
refer to it? Thank you. 01:13:32
So what is the proposed climate? 01:13:39
Company. 01:13:42
Yeah, so. 01:13:43
But I think next on our our list is to talk about have have John come up. He'll talk a little bit about the momentum. 01:13:44
Planning business and their business plan specifically for the state. 01:13:51
Umm, good evening. Umm, For the record, I'm John Colbert, this CFO for Momentum Indoor Climbing. 01:14:01
Umm, we're a Utah based company. We originated with a location in Sandy. 01:14:07
And we have since grown to seven locations, four of which are in Utah, 2IN. 01:14:13
The Houston area and one in Seattle. 01:14:19
Umm. 01:14:22
One of the things that, uh, we're looking at when looking at Vineyard specifically is the close proximity to the freeway. 01:14:25
As well as just access for. 01:14:33
Essentially all of Utah County to come to this location and. 01:14:38
20 to 30 minutes. I mean, I live in Santaquin. 01:14:42
And it took me 30 minutes to get here. 01:14:45
Umm, most of our locations we have. 01:14:48
75% of our customers live within about a 20 minute radius. 01:14:51
So. 01:14:56
Considering that the majority of Utah County falls within that threshold, so. 01:14:57
Umm, have a feeling that a location like this would draw. 01:15:03
Uh, a significant customer base from, from outside of vineyard as well as from within. 01:15:07
Umm, to give you a brief idea of the business that we are currently seeing. 01:15:14
Inside of Utah. 01:15:21
Our location in Lehigh last year. 01:15:23
UH had roughly 140,000 different daily visits. 01:15:26
And that was 140,000, it was 25,000 unique customers, so. 01:15:32
Quite a large number of people that come into the region. 01:15:38
Umm, we just opened a new gym in. 01:15:41
Uh, Midvale last month. 01:15:45
And we've already had 25,000. 01:15:47
With 10,000 unit customers. 01:15:50
Umm, so it's a. It's a. 01:15:54
It's a sport that is. 01:15:57
Quite large already, and it's continuing to grow. 01:15:59
Umm, Salt Lake County by itself already has 6 climbing gyms. 01:16:03
For a population of 1.2 million people. 01:16:09
Utah County currently has two smaller climbing gyms for seven 700,000 people so. 01:16:12
There is definitely an opportunity for the county. 01:16:19
Uh, we are absolutely interested in building a gym. 01:16:23
In Utah County and we would certainly love to do it in vineyards, so. 01:16:27
Umm, you talk about the building a little bit and, uh. 01:16:32
Yeah. 01:16:36
So, umm, what we're hoping to do is build a a facility roughly 30,000 square feet. 01:16:38
Umm, if you have driven. 01:16:45
On I-15 past Momentum Sandy, it's roughly 17,000 square feet with a mezzanine that adds a few 1000 square feet for 20,000. 01:16:48
So this would be a little bit larger. 01:16:58
It would contain a rope Bay that's a heightened rope of about 50 to 60 feet. 01:17:01
That would, uh, allow us to have. 01:17:07
Uh, a taller, taller walls for ropes, as well as a shorter area for just bouldering only where they climb onto a wall and fall 01:17:10
down onto paths. 01:17:14
Which is what a typical full service gym entails. 01:17:20
Umm, our current gym in Utah County up in Lehigh is a bouldering only gym so it does not have ropes. 01:17:24
And it is roughly 20,000 square feet, so it is a smaller location. 01:17:32
Than what we're proposing. 01:17:37
And then, umm, I'm sure most of you are familiar with the query and Provo that's in between the two universities. It's about 01:17:39
12,000 square feet. 01:17:43
With ropes. 01:17:48
Umm, the. 01:17:50
Go up about 40 feet, so not quite as tall as what we're proposing, but umm. 01:17:52
Uh, to give you an idea of all of our other gyms. 01:17:58
Uh, our, our gym in Mill Creek is 40,000 square feet. Our new one at Fort Union area mid Valley is 47,000 square feet. So this is 01:18:03
a smaller footprint than some of the gyms we've done in Salt Lake, but still. 01:18:10
Uh, quite a bit larger than what Utah County currently has. 01:18:17
Umm, this would essentially. 01:18:22
Double the current square footage that are the other gyms in the region already provide. 01:18:24
So you mentioned that Corey has 40 foot, uh, rope, uh, roughly 40 foot and you're proposing the ability to do, uh. 01:18:30
So. 01:18:39
If in case any of you are familiar with the with the Olympic event of speed climbing. 01:18:40
Umm, the the minimum height for a speed climbing wall is 52 feet. 01:18:46
And so the minimum ceiling height typically is 54 to 55. 01:18:52
Umm, arrange that. 01:18:58
We haven't decided if that's. 01:19:00
What we want to put in a gym in Utah County, but that's typically what we. 01:19:02
What we built for a portion of our gems just to just to facilitate that. 01:19:07
Umm having a speed wall also increases the opportunity for us to have larger events that are more. 01:19:14
UH, regional, not just the state of Utah, but the state of Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming, bringing their competitive team into the 01:19:22
region to do uh, larger events. So. 01:19:28
And the eater. 01:19:38
Payment. 01:19:40
Portion would be what have you kind of. I'm just saying that those were the kind of entertainment anchors we were first pursuing. 01:19:41
So now let's talk about where this would fit in the site a little bit. And again, John? 01:19:48
Might step back up and help a little bit. 01:19:53
It's a pizza at the top. 01:19:56
So originally that red dash, that entertainment block up there, that's where the development agreement currently talks about it 01:20:02
going and it says it needs to be a substantial part of that block. Again, that's about four acres. 01:20:08
We would like to leave that. 01:20:15
And 100% commercial, make that similar to what it was before kind of this food court area. 01:20:17
Restaurant. 01:20:23
Food and beverage heavy and then put. 01:20:24
The, uh, the climbing gym just to the across what's called Cauldron Rd. today and have it still connected, be connected. 01:20:26
But not necessarily pick up a substantial part of that. So that could be its own thing. You go there to eat and get entertained. 01:20:33
You can have events. 01:20:37
Still there and then you can still have this kind of substantially tall building still connected to it. 01:20:40
And everybody can use the services between the two. So let me show you a site plan here in a little bit. 01:20:45
So yeah, this is, you know, the northern. 01:20:54
Portion of our of our development, we don't own this block here. This block here is not part of the development agreement, but 01:20:57
there's one kind of behind the theater that is. 01:21:00
And this is what we presented as a phase one when we were talking about in the terms of development agreement. 01:21:04
With this block here being. 01:21:10
You know, restaurant heavy. 01:21:13
Having a lot of patios and then potentially having some kind of center active area. 01:21:15
Where people can. 01:21:19
Fire pits, there could be some events, there could be some long games, right with the retail association kind of comes together 01:21:21
and hosts some events. 01:21:24
And so across the street here we could put about a 30,000 square foot building. 01:21:28
Again, this would be quite a bit taller than the buildings across the street, so you still feel some presence of it from Vineyard 01:21:32
Connector. 01:21:34
Umm, as well as you know, when you're in the outdoor area. 01:21:38
We'll talk a little bit about the position, but one of the thoughts we've had is, you know, can we get some glass and, and 01:21:40
interest for the visual transparency from that block and from Vineyard Connector when you're coming down Mill Rd. like you're 01:21:45
seeing the activity of that area. 01:21:49
And and visually connecting it that way and then putting some adjacent parking next to it. 01:21:54
How that parking works out, you know, some of the adjacent development will be dependent upon us of course, that future 01:21:58
development, but. 01:22:01
This is what we're proposing for a site location, so. 01:22:05
That would be a variance. Umm. 01:22:09
Because from from putting it up here on the entertainment block. 01:22:10
Umm, before we move on from site plan. 01:22:15
Umm, I think it's fantastic. Can we just quickly go to? 01:22:18
Google Maps. 01:22:23
So I can see how the site plan relates to what's existing out there. 01:22:24
This question like that works. 01:22:29
Umm, no, the glare from the light that's right here is just clinking stuff. OK, thank you. 01:22:31
So this is the file I'll kind of zoom in, but you'll see at the scene off here to the right where my cursor is at. 01:22:40
And you have the venue connector coming down here, Geneva Rd. 01:22:46
And then Mill Rd. So everything kind of undeveloped right here. That is the Forge. 01:22:50
So maybe point point to where we're talking about, I'm sorry, I'm going back. 01:22:58
And just to be 100% clear, then the climbing gym we're placing, yeah, right. Kind of across the lead of the land right there. 01:23:03
Thank you. 01:23:16
So one of the topics of discussion has been, well, what? What will this look like and and can it be attractive? 01:23:17
Umm can I add to the overall vibe of the area and bring again just some visual energy? 01:23:23
And and be an asset. And so we just kind of pulled some representative imagery. 01:23:30
And what? 01:23:34
I think in discussions with Momentum and others, you know where you put the glass. Obviously you can't, you can't put a full wall 01:23:35
of glass because you're trying to put climbing walls in there. But can you use the glass smartly? 01:23:41
So there's, umm. 01:23:47
You know, some visual what's going on there. John will tell you they don't really want a lot of natural light coming in and 01:23:49
sunshine. People go to those indoor experiences and they. 01:23:53
You know, but you don't need the heat from the sun, so you have to use it sparingly in a climbing gym. But can you use it wisely 01:23:57
again to make the area attractive? Lighting, right? And then just the overall croissant to bring some interest to the area. 01:24:03
This is the place where AI data umm. 01:24:12
And we don't need to get into the details too much. John can probably give us better actual visit terms and place your AI can but. 01:24:14
Umm, just showing this is this. 01:24:22
Sandy location. 01:24:25
You know, you see all that blue out there. Those are people coming from those areas to get to the gym. So I showed A5 and A10 mile 01:24:26
radius to show that this is truly growing. 01:24:31
Beyond 10 miles to come. 01:24:35
To the family location. 01:24:37
And then the next one was the Mill Creek, same thing. You can just see people are coming from the whole valley. 01:24:39
To come to that Mill Creek gym, umm, obviously heaviest within that five mile radius, but. 01:24:44
But a broad group coming in from further distances. 01:24:48
Last, is that the fiscal impact, umm, you know we put up there, the estimated sales for this site would be like, you know, three 01:24:53
and a half million. 01:24:57
When we're looking at entertainment type users. 01:25:01
We were talking about. 01:25:03
5:00 to 7:00 depending on the user. 01:25:05
So this is a little bit less, but you're combining 2 uses, right? You got this active use. 01:25:07
You've got a food and beverage. 01:25:11
Well, we've got food and beverage. In fact, there's 60,000 feet of food of of commercial across the street, right. 01:25:13
And now we're also bringing in the sales of, of of the climate gym. So together we're actually exceeding the overall impact I 01:25:19
think what is one entertainment. 01:25:23
Would it provided? 01:25:27
But. 01:25:29
Uh, Zion Bank to this? 01:25:31
Study for 70,000 of revenues for specific purpose UMM in those different categories. 01:25:33
And then there's some kind of non specific taxes that go probably more to the counting. 01:25:38
And then we thought it was appropriate to say again, we can't really develop our retail across the street until we place our 01:25:44
anchor. 01:25:47
And so the enzyme bank also just. 01:25:51
Did a little bit of a study to say, well you bring. 01:25:54
You know, three to four restaurants there. You have some other retail uses. You know, there's another 100 to $150,000 per year in 01:25:56
in taxes to the. 01:26:00
To the city by bringing in this entertainment. 01:26:04
Anchor momentum is considered the anchor. 01:26:08
That's what we're proposing, we're saying. 01:26:11
Can momentum. 01:26:13
Climbing gym. 01:26:16
Can just meet the requirements of the development agreement, which I'll put back up here again. 01:26:17
To qualify for an entertainment anchor. 01:26:23
And then allow us to proceed, as the development agreement allows, by having placed in our team anchor. 01:26:26
So that is the request, John. Anything else you wanna add up to that? 01:26:34
Questions. 01:26:44
Umm, when you were talking about the glass component and showed the just frontages of other climbing gyms, umm, I thought all the 01:26:47
architecture was beautiful. 01:26:51
And so the intent was to mimic at least in some way, shape or form while also being cognizant of what is even realistic for the 01:26:56
the intent is how do we bring architectural in that adds to the overall vibe and fill of the area, not just a metal box. 01:27:04
Perfect. 01:27:13
And so that's always a little bit of a challenge with, with climate. Jim does not, umm, you know, a higher margin business. Hence 01:27:13
we've had a lot of discussions on, you know, what should, what should pricing be at? And so that's where we're kind of having to 01:27:18
say, OK, we're gonna subsidized this to, to make it happen. We're actually gonna bring it in. And we've even talked about 01:27:22
enhancing some of the astrologers to make sure that it all works together with our own dollars. Yeah, because the biggest concern 01:27:27
is that. 01:27:31
Though you often see these in industrial areas. 01:27:36
It's not an industrial use and so I really wanna make sure it has a nice attractive. 01:27:39
Umm, facade there. 01:27:44
So that it's inviting, right? And I think one thing that. 01:27:46
Umm, one thing that we tried to to consider in that location is the fact that we can put, we can put plenty of glass in. 01:27:50
What we've learned in the past is we don't wanna have the glass facing South or facing certain directions to put the sun right in 01:28:00
your eyes while you're climbing, right? 01:28:05
And so that north and east. 01:28:10
Facing on that corner that people can see as they drive in. 01:28:14
That would be the ideal place to have the glass. So, so we're trying to be, uh. 01:28:18
Uh, cognizant of the of of the city and of the desired effect while trying to figure out the best location for us to be able to. 01:28:25
And I'm gonna just go to some. 01:28:35
Of the images, this was the image again of our phase one. 01:28:39
Of the retail this is that entertainment block. 01:28:42
That we're talking about and then this gym would be sitting kind of over here in this great spot today. 01:28:45
So again, if you have some glass and connectivity with some real interest on that side, yeah, that's why we have interest in. 01:28:51
And making sure that the sod feels right. 01:28:58
Excellent. 01:29:02
So I know in Salt Lake County that they have, they have like the National Climbing USA or something bringing the headquarters 01:29:04
there. Do you anticipate? 01:29:08
And out there, some gyms have expressed concerns because of the consolidation to that. 01:29:11
Would that have any impact on this? 01:29:16
Are you? I'm sorry, John, we'll have to get stuck. For the record, it doesn't pick you up in the record. 01:29:20
So so Momentum has actually been chosen to partner with USA Climbing to run that gem. So umm, you would anticipate then any? I do 01:29:25
not believe it would have a negative impact on Utah County in any way. 01:29:32
Same thing as positive synergy yeah, they just opened the Midvale location despite right yes so we and and we're working on 01:29:40
opening a very small location in Trolley Square that would be even closer to that location so. 01:29:47
We don't anticipate that it would be a negative impact on the local business. 01:29:54
Did we just mess the ice climbing portion of the wall? I heard rumors at one point filling it up. 01:30:02
What? What other questions do you have? 01:30:13
What? What are the relevant questions do you have? 01:30:16
I have none at this time. 01:30:22
OK, alright. 01:30:24
I'd love to get some public comment too. OK, great. Get some questions. Is there any questions or comments from the public? 01:30:25
Please state your name. 01:30:35
Frustrating planning, not Planning Commission. Geez. 01:30:39
Uh yes, so, so I've spent a lot of hours on this. I love climbing gyms absolutely love them. I'm so good uh, that that's a 01:30:42
potential option for this. 01:30:46
Umm, one one thing that was missing in the staff report and in your description of the I. 01:30:51
Uh, requirements that we come up with as Planning Commission in 2023 is, uh, that it's unique to the county. 01:30:57
Umm. 01:31:04
And uh. 01:31:05
Well, I appreciate. 01:31:07
Uh, the possibility of having a climbing gym. 01:31:09
Umm, I was just wondering, just wanted that to be clear, that's not up on there, that's it's unique to the accounting. Just wanted 01:31:12
you guys to be aware of that. Uh, the other thing, umm. 01:31:17
I am curious with the entertainment district with the restaurants and stuff. 01:31:22
If it will stay like the pictures. 01:31:27
We're portraying with a large. 01:31:29
Space in the middle, uh, kind of almost park space in the middle or how that's actually gonna be portrayed, Uh, usually when, uh. 01:31:32
On the Planning Commission, when we were presented with something. 01:31:40
Uh, we would get pictures of things and a lot of times developers would show us pictures and then we'd get the final product and 01:31:43
they wouldn't look anything like pictures, so. 01:31:47
I just wanna make sure that, uh, something like that. 01:31:52
Is like the pictures that if it's showing a park space in the middle, that it's clear that there will be a park space in the 01:31:55
middle. And, and then my only other, uh, concern with timing gym across the street is, uh, how, how you're gonna connect that you 01:32:01
want people to use the restaurant, Uh, if it's an anchor that's trying to bring in sales. 01:32:07
Tax umm. 01:32:14
You want people to. 01:32:15
Leave the climbing gym and immediately like be in front of restaurants. 01:32:17
So that don't go and get food. 01:32:20
Uh, with the parking lot being right in front of climbing gym. 01:32:22
They'll just get in their car. 01:32:26
Uh, I'm just kind of wondering what the connectivity is there and how you can best, uh, utilize that connectivity. 01:32:27
Have to be sales tax and have it be easier for people to get around. 01:32:34
Thanks, Bryce. 01:32:38
Uh, additional public comment. 01:32:40
OK, we'll close public comment and. 01:32:44
And if we could have the. 01:32:46
Question come back up. 01:32:49
So the first question was or it was a comment that should be unique to the county. I actually think this is one of the very first 01:32:50
items I was involved in when I got on the Commission. 01:32:55
So I don't know, Price has spent a lot of time on this, so, uh, I'd love to have some discussion on it. What's really. 01:32:59
Going to make this unique to the county. What's special about the gym? 01:33:06
Yeah, uh, well. 01:33:12
1st, I gotta go back and make sure I understand what the development agreement says around unique or or maybe then I don't know if 01:33:14
that was just like that. That was the discussion on the intent, which I can certainly honor as well. 01:33:19
Umm, but as you heard John say, there's no climbing gym like this. You talk, Johnny. 01:33:25
Alright, we're talking double the size of anything that's. 01:33:31
Currently here that has, you know, the full service of suites besides their own bouldering gym which is. 01:33:34
But just a little bit of a different product, so. 01:33:39
Umm, you know Utah County doesn't have this today. 01:33:42
There's nothing like it. I don't know how you get. 01:33:48
You know how how how that doesn't meet the unique definition to me, but. 01:33:50
Do you, do you have the language of what? Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say in the umm. 01:33:54
The development agreement that was approved by the City Council and we can relist into it, but. 01:34:00
Umm, the the development agreement doesn't have. 01:34:04
U unique as a standard. I do remember that in Planning Commission that that was that it is in the minutes and then it's the 01:34:07
Planning Commission umm. 01:34:11
Umm, so that yeah, it it it's not in the, it's not in like the signed version. Yeah, this is the language that defines the 01:34:15
requirements that. 01:34:19
So yeah. 01:34:24
I I, and I mean you've been looking for quite a while for a draw like this. Umm. 01:34:26
How close have you come to other types of facilities? 01:34:32
That may fit. Yeah. We like I said, it's been a little bit of a struggle with anybody that's got a large food and beverage 01:34:37
component because those often times are, you know, alcohol serving places with an activity. 01:34:42
And so, you know, in my pursuit, I even talked to the real estate guy over Top Golf, who was real estate guy when this came. 01:34:48
I just said like you brought this here, like why can't you bring what you're doing now? He's in a different business and he just 01:34:55
said, look, we were, we had exhausted all our primary markets. 01:34:59
Alright, we were. 01:35:04
We had a mandate to grow. 01:35:06
So we went ahead and. 01:35:07
And did this here, he said. I won't do it. Uh, you know, I've got too many primary markets to go after right now. That's what we 01:35:09
continue to run in. 01:35:12
I mean, we've talked to like some of the family fun centers in Utah. 01:35:16
They're not interested and they're concerned about the location of, of the, the theater. A lot of a lot of the theaters the, the, 01:35:19
the large mode, they're talking about adding more entertainment type uses in addition to the theaters. And so that's kind of got 01:35:25
some of those uses spooked. They're also financially struggling. 01:35:31
Umm, or I don't know if they're struggling, but. 01:35:37
This wasn't a growth area that they wanted to necessarily attack or feel good about, so. 01:35:40
I can tell you. 01:35:45
I'm bringing you this with concessions on our side because we think it's a really good option that we have some certainty to. 01:35:46
Without it, I don't know. 01:35:50
You know, we're, we're kind of blank slate a little bit on how, how do we find entertainment acres. 01:35:55
And also I mean this is for you to make a determination. I mean U unique is. 01:35:59
Umm, you know that that that's something that's that's up for you know, umm, you know, you, you guys have to make that 01:36:03
determination. If it's visa, it's a unique category, umm. 01:36:09
And you you need to do the third time site planning and stuff. 01:36:14
To that design aspect, yeah, yeah. So if you wanted to, you could. 01:36:17
Yeah. So so that they would come, come back for that. But as far as declining in itself being unique? 01:36:21
Umm, you know, just as a as a category now. But how could and? But there's only a couple of them. 01:36:28
But then how could you make this? 01:36:33
But thi thi this one you take and size is is is 1 I I mean like the the largest one in this company more customers the the design 01:36:35
of it. 01:36:40
Umm, is it, uh, it's, it's based. I could, I could host events, CLI climate events and there's some, some things like that that 01:36:44
that we could discuss. Doesn't necessarily. 01:36:49
Being like the category. So that's that. That would be up. 01:36:53
For your consideration, yeah. If you're a climate athlete, would you call this unique for Utah County? 01:36:56
So this would be a variance from the original to move the anchor location, but we're considering it 2 step, uh, combined 01:37:03
experience of food and this I, I'd imagine that. 01:37:08
And that should get to to Bryce's other point of that continuity of. 01:37:13
I think part of the experience that would have to be the design. What is the design that takes you from food? 01:37:17
To the entertainment, climbing from climbing back to the food and that pedestrian experience. 01:37:23
That would make it maybe then somewhat unique compared to other gyms and. 01:37:28
And and have continuity between the two areas. 01:37:33
Yeah. And part of this leads to the business terms as to why we're putting them down here. 01:37:36
To be fully transparent, the preferred location by the business was to go behind the theaters. 01:37:41
Right. The the business themselves, people come to the climbing gym, right? So, but we said, boy, we really want this to feel 01:37:46
integrated. 01:37:50
And so we kind of settled on here. 01:37:53
Between the the different businesses. 01:37:56
But I, I guess I would say again, you're talking about a 50 foot. 01:38:00
50 to 60 foot piece of the building right here. 01:38:04
You've got a crosswalk right here. 01:38:07
It's not like it's a four lane Rd. between them right? This is a 2 lane Rd. with. 01:38:10
Parallel parking on the street, right? It's a. 01:38:15
It's a, it's already kind of got the bulb outs and ways to calm the traffic there, so. 01:38:18
If you're sitting in one of those restaurants, you're looking at the climbing gym. If you're in the in the climbing gym on the 01:38:23
wall and you're looking at the glass, you're seeing. 01:38:26
Those restaurants, it's gonna be pretty clear as you pull out their food and beverage right there. 01:38:29
Umm, it's, it's, it's true that they don't have to walk by the food and beverage to get to it, but if they're, if they're hungry, 01:38:33
it's right there. Well, see that I mean to kind of Bryce's point, though, like if bringing people into the gym, that could be then 01:38:38
going and you know, I. 01:38:43
Patron the the restaurant. Maybe it would help to understand what is on that block because. 01:38:48
The the loan agreement isn't extremely SUS. 01:38:54
Specific. It's not calling out like a legal description. It's saying 4.8 acres of the entertainment area. 01:38:57
Umm, and so the, the depending on on how that's that's looked at. 01:39:03
I, I, I think that's, that's kind of another area of of consideration. I don't know if that necessarily is a variance. 01:39:08
But. 01:39:14
I think showing how that connection could be made, I mean it's very close. It's right across from the street. It has a double 01:39:15
loaded kind of retail feel to it. 01:39:19
But is there ability for people to cross easily? 01:39:23
You do have a prospect right there, so maybe kind of explain that, but also on that specific site are there is a retail 01:39:28
establishment that would be located on that side? 01:39:32
Yeah, it's interesting. Like. 01:39:38
Some might be saying, well just put the climbing gym up here. 01:39:40
So you actually reduced in the amount of like aggregated food and beverage together. 01:39:43
Which now this lawn starts to make sense, right? This is that area starts to make sense when you have a critical mass. 01:39:48
If I go put the climbing gym up there. 01:39:54
Now I've only got room for another 15,000 feet instead of 60,000 feet to aggregate. 01:39:56
And now I'm gonna put some other food and beverage to the South. But just from a development plan perspective, I think it really 01:40:02
makes a lot of sense to bring all that activity and body heat together. 01:40:06
For the food and beverage and have really easy access for those coming to the climbing gym. 01:40:11
So that's that's. 01:40:16
That's one thought. Umm. 01:40:19
But but the kind of uses again it's food and beverage heavy. You can see kind of what we've. 01:40:21
A lot of outdoor patio patios, A lot of outdoor space is, umm, what's anticipated. 01:40:26
And I, I, I appreciate that, frankly, I think this is, that is a good location for this use. Umm. 01:40:32
Umm, based on my own experience as a customer, because I'm not only a. 01:40:44
I not only work for a clinic company, I'm a climber myself. My family climbs. 01:40:51
We go to momentum, Sandy. 01:40:56
We get in our car and we drive down. 01:40:58
To Texas Roadhouse, that's part of the exact same development. 01:41:02
Stop and eat dinner. That's not a problem like. 01:41:06
I I personally based on my own experience and the experience of my friends. 01:41:10
Skating in our car even if we have to and driving across the street because the the the food in bed. 01:41:15
Isn't an issue for us like I I don't I don't feel like. 01:41:22
Umm. 01:41:27
Myself and my own fellow customers would have an issue. 01:41:29
Umm, even if we didn't wanna walk across the street, getting in our car and driving to a restaurant. So. 01:41:33
Probably just share that. 01:41:41
Yeah. And and you know, there are some bigger boxes up here along the street, just saying. I mean, in our mind, there's some soft 01:41:43
kids of some sort up there as well, some kind of retail stuff. Good. 01:41:47
But umm, food and beverage kind of wrapped in the outside, so. 01:41:52
Well an ice wall would make it a no brainer. 01:41:56
But this is not a bad option. 01:42:00
So I I have a question. Umm what? 01:42:05
Even in this business longer than I have, but when you have the anchor that's typically used as the all right, who else can I come 01:42:09
in to be in all of the other food in the retail spots there? 01:42:15
Umm, obviously you don't need to go into details, but do you find that this use as an anchor? 01:42:21
Is going to help land. 01:42:28
That needed restaurants and retail uses there. 01:42:30
I think it brings a level of activity up in interest for the area. I mean obviously the theater and and and Top Golf. 01:42:32
Now you bring a climbing gym. People know to come here to go. Some have fun. 01:42:38
Right, which I I think that just builds the overall brand. I think it's more of a branding thing than anything. 01:42:42
The residential will actually bring the bodies, you know, to kind of bring the activity that's even more important to the 01:42:48
retailers to the food and beverage themselves. 01:42:51
But the brand of the area will be improved by by having this use. 01:42:56
What, umm how, how tall did you say the tallest, smallest plans were? 01:42:59
What's the tallest fall you have in any? We'll have to have you at Microsoft. Umm, so I know it's annoying. 01:43:06
Gotta do it. 01:43:11
Umm, our walls at our Mill Creek location I believe are like our ceiling is up to 60 feet. And how tall is the wall? 01:43:13
55 could we get the tallest wall of any of your gems? I I'm just putting it out there uh. 01:43:21
I mean that that that makes it starts making it more unique for a draw. 01:43:29
The only speed climbing wall in Utah County. 01:43:34
I I think it starts becoming unique. Umm umm. One thing I will add to that is. 01:43:40
The quarry was built. 01:43:46
24 years ago. 01:43:48
A modern climbing gym is very unique to the experience that you get at the Quarry. I will say that I mean 25 years of experience 01:43:52
of building gyms. 01:43:57
It's a very different experience and I frequent the quarry regularly. It's the closest gym to my house. 01:44:04
It is definitely a different experience when I go up to the gym we just built. We just opened a month ago so. 01:44:10
That alone, uh, I would say is a very unique experience to what is offered in Utah County right now. 01:44:17
Yeah. 01:44:24
A tall as well as that a question I could look into it, but that would just add to our cost and and sometimes that's doing it out 01:44:25
there. 01:44:29
But I'll look into it. Alright, bye. This is just a work session. Yeah, ideation I I know in some of your other locations you have 01:44:34
different class types. 01:44:38
Such as delay instruction, group fitness classes, yoga. 01:44:43
Umm. Is it safe to assume that you have a variety of classes as well? That you know that program? 01:44:46
A similar type programming. Do you have like an annual and monthly pass too? 01:44:53
Yes, we, we typically have monthly memberships, which is, uh, roughly. 01:44:57
Uh, 60% of our total revenue, we have annual memberships, which is another 10. 01:45:02
Uh, 15% of our total revenue is U type programs in summer account. 01:45:10
Some of the other remaining it's like they use. 01:45:17
With their families for a one time event. Yeah, so John too also, umm, maybe to your to your client, umm. 01:45:21
Like 2 tournaments, I know we talked about in in the past, but it could just be a facility that would host tournaments that that 01:45:28
maybe other facilities are because the tournament or something that would bring in a lot of people at one time would would be a 01:45:34
huge benefit of the retail establishment. Umm yeah. What we typically do with USA Climbing is we typically comma commit to 1:00 to 01:45:40
2:00. 01:45:46
Large competitive events for for youth or collegiate climbers. 01:45:52
We've even had adult professional World Cup style climbers come to our Lehigh and our Mill Creek gym. So. 01:45:58
We typically commit to. 01:46:06
Umm, multiple large events like that a year. 01:46:08
And uh. 01:46:11
A lot of times when we do that, we coordinate to have a local competition. 01:46:13
Around the same time within a day or two so that we can open it to the public as well, so. 01:46:19
Yeah, perfect. Umm, I I'm sure you've recorded every. 01:46:26
Vineyard Planning Commission meeting over the last two years and watched them but one common. 01:46:30
Umm, conversation point is finding opportunities. 01:46:36
For activities for our youth, for people age 10 to 18, umm and so. 01:46:40
But looking at what you've done in other gyms, I I feel like that satisfies a great need. 01:46:47
Here I know this is just a work session. 01:46:52
Uh, but I. 01:46:55
I think when looking at everything that the Forge can be, just remembering that age demographic, I think that absolutely pulls 01:46:56
them in. Let's add to it. 01:47:00
But if, if there's food things that. 01:47:05
I don't know, let's do it. You know, like that's something that keeps bringing in that age group I think would be huge and our 01:47:08
youth program start at the age of four up until wonderful so. 01:47:13
It's perfect. 01:47:19
OK. MMM. 01:47:25
Is there any action needed? No, not tonight, sorry. The applicant has a comment and. 01:47:25
Umm will have is on the next meeting. 01:47:30
For for approval. So you would be making a motion to certify it uh, forward to not certify it so. 01:47:34
Yeah, I do wanna say one thing. I think this is really exciting, something I can get behind. 01:47:40
And I think a lot of our residents will. 01:47:45
Uh, a recreation. 01:47:48
Well, an entertainment opportunity. 01:47:50
It's both recreation and kind of fitness oriented versus maybe. 01:47:52
A Dave and Buster's an adult, uh. 01:47:58
Video game. 01:48:00
Uh, situation, but uh, yeah, I think we're kinda leaning towards this and this would be very helpful for our community. Thank you 01:48:02
for the collaboration. 01:48:07
Uh-huh. Thank you. 01:48:12
Alright, umm. 01:48:15
And I think that's the one I can get my agenda up. That was the last item. So we just moved to, uh, reports and discussion. 01:48:17
Any Commission reports? 01:48:25
No. 01:48:28
Uh, no, uh, no request that we're going just real quick. I, well, we, we did have a town hall all about parking last night that I 01:48:30
just wanna report on. 01:48:35
Umm, I should say our Parking Pro program, not all about parking, it's very specific about umm, that was well attended by some 01:48:39
people, umm. 01:48:44
But how did a good healthy discussion, umm, have some council members there, umm, and hopefully we can get some, some good, uh. 01:48:50
A agreement on on. 01:48:55
My microphone's not been on the full time, so that's OK. 01:49:02
Thank you SO. 01:49:06
Yeah, that was the. 01:49:07
A good event last night. 01:49:08
Thank you, and we will go ahead and adjourn. 01:49:11
Yeah. 01:49:16
