All right. Welcome, everybody. Today is May 18th, and this is the Vineyard Planning Commission. I will give an invocation. 00:00:02
Heavenly Father, we thankful that we could be here today to discuss things for our city. We're so thankful for this city, this 00:00:13
place that we live. We're thankful for the effort that everyone puts forward to make this a great place to live. Please bless 00:00:17
those that. 00:00:22
That are serving our community whether they be leaders or police force or just anybody in general that they'll be blessed. Help us 00:00:28
to know what would be best for our city. We lofty and we say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 00:00:34
All right. Moving to an open session. Do we have any comments from the public? 00:00:42
If not, then we'll move right into the Minutes for review and approval. 00:00:49
For March 16th 3.1. Is anybody taking a look at that or? 00:00:56
I wanted to make a motion. 00:01:02
Looked to be OK to me. OK, Do you wanna make a motion? 00:01:04
Sure. I'll make a motion that we approve the minutes of March 16th as presented. All right. Thank you. All right, thanks, Anthony. 00:01:08
All in favour. Aye, aye. All right. Moving to public hearing item 4.1. So, Bryce, if you could on this one. This is in regards to 00:01:17
the nitrogen Geneva partial of 27 acres or so that's off in Geneva Rd. City has interest in seeing something that's not. 00:01:26
We had some the the owner got a new e-mail address, so there was a lot of correspondence that didn't go back and forth. So we're 00:02:09
running in good effort work with them. So it's on now. Our request is that you officially open a public hearing allow people 00:02:15
military, but I'll allow them to speak if they want and don't close it Then just then before you move to the next item continue it 00:02:21
to. I think it's July 6th planning question. OK, cool. Jeff Knighton is here. So I'm going to let him take over from this point. 00:02:27
We just got to item 4.1. 00:02:34
We're about to open up the public, the public hearing for the Geneva nitrogen plant. 00:02:41
Yes, thank you, Bryce. Dealing with traffic and I make a motion to open a public hearing. I'll second that. 00:02:46
All in favor of the motion, aye? 00:02:54
We are now in a public hearing. 00:02:59
And I will also make a motion that we continue this public hearing to the July 6/20/22 Planning Commission meeting. 00:03:02
Do I have a second? 00:03:11
All in favor, aye. 00:03:13
Motion passes. 00:03:17
OK, so that's that takes care of 4.1 basically. Wait, we just continue that? 00:03:21
OK. So then item 5.1, work session, general plan, review of the heritage and cultural resources. So Brian? 00:03:28
We will be presenting on this. That's right, this is a work session, so no vote or action will be taken. 00:03:37
And if I could, just before Brian starts, yesterday we talked in in another meeting about how important it might be for there to 00:03:44
be some clarity about why did Vineyard get started as a community, how that came about, what was the incentive behind it. I don't 00:03:52
know if if you wanted me to take a few minutes and and read out of the Heritage book how that came about or if we should do that 00:03:59
in another time. 00:04:06
Either way, Brian, do you want to and what would be the right placement for that with your presentation? 00:04:17
Just wondering more because this is heritage item, can you can you give a few words on that? 00:04:23
Sure. 00:04:32
I think so. The structure of my presentation is to talk about a little bit about what a general plan is, why we're updating it, 00:04:37
why that matters, then I'm going to go into. 00:04:45
Some community engagement initiatives that we've done in the past. So we'll have a discussion about moving forward with some 00:04:55
community community engagement efforts to update this section of the plan. So I think I think it's, it's great if you want to give 00:05:00
us a little bit of background. 00:05:05
So that it's at least on the record again. Sure. How Vineyard came about, what was its purpose, how did, how was it formulated, 00:05:11
and so on. I'm getting my information out of this book that a lot of us have seen called Our Vineyard Heritage. It was written 00:05:19
published in about 2000, I think if I'm not mistaken, but it covered the 1st 100 years of Vineyards existence up until about the 00:05:28
latter part of the 1990s. But I thought I would just read a few of the articles here. I'm starting on page. 00:05:36
72 in the section called incorporation. 00:05:45
And I think it might be useful for us to because in our earlier discussion it was we thought. 00:05:50
You know what has caused Vineyard to have the culture that it has? What? How did it start? Every place has its story, every city 00:05:57
has its beginnings, and sometimes those beginnings carry over into even how we make decisions later. So I thought I would just 00:06:04
read a little bit of this so that you can get a feel for what caused this city to to to be. First of all, there was a feeling by 00:06:11
148 residents. 00:06:19
Who were here, that they were being encroached upon by neighboring cities? Arm and Provo, primarily and a little bit Linden, but 00:06:26
primarily Orman, provoke, and they were concerned that they would be taken over by those cities that were already incorporated and 00:06:32
already functioning. 00:06:39
The citizens got together in 1972, So 50 years ago, 1972, they got together and made a proposal to Geneva steel. At the time it 00:06:47
was. 00:06:52
United States Steel to incorporate Vineyard. 00:06:57
And the steel company felt that that was not necessary at the time. 00:07:02
But in 1980? 00:07:07
There was a law passed in Utah State legislature, a tax law, that basically required corporations or companies in unincorporated 00:07:09
areas to operate within an existing city limit. 00:07:17
When they were going to be re managed that is bought by someone else or as they change management and that's exactly what was 00:07:26
occurring with the United States Steel in 1980 was they were being bought by Geneva Steel. 00:07:33
So the tax law required the company to be within an incorporated city limit, and they weren't. They were within the county limits. 00:07:41
And so it got vineyards attention again and and the residents went back to to Geneva Steel and made a petition to incorporate and 00:07:51
it was approved that there was a process they had to go through. They had to get signatures. Out of the 148 residents, 140 of them 00:07:59
said yes. There were a few that dissented and they took that to then the county Commission over a period of a couple of years and 00:08:08
it was debated back and forth. There were some opposition from Orem. The book says that. 00:08:16
ARM officials questioned whether it was appropriate to place a town between Orem and the lake. 00:08:25
How could such a city support its infrastructure? Would ARM have a future say in environmental issues? And so on? 00:08:32
But the City of Vineyard wanted to have its own independence. So it began with an independence feeling. They didn't want to be 00:08:41
managed by larger cities, so with 148 citizens, they were incorporated. It was approved in May of 1989. 00:08:49
And there's some really cool quotes in this book from the first mayor, mayor, ruling gammon. 00:08:58
But it was basically saying they wanted to keep the culture of their community. They wanted to, they wanted people to understand 00:09:05
this as an agricultural community and they wanted people to be able to have land if they wanted to have land. And they could only 00:09:13
protect that if they incorporated and then manage that process. As the years came along, there was some concern for over 00:09:21
development. Well, maybe they were being prophetic in in terms of some of the things that people were seeing. 00:09:29
But um. 00:09:37
I I just think it's important for us to remember that there was a a very small core group of people who saw the vision to keep the 00:09:39
city independent, keep the town independent from the larger neighboring cities. Especially because Orem wanted to use the western 00:09:46
part of Orem to kind of dump a lot of the things that they didn't want to have up on the bench. And the city could see that coming 00:09:54
and said no. 00:10:01
We're going to keep our land pristine, clean, pure and keep it for the desires of the residents. So there's a feeling of 00:10:09
independence that they wanted to be and and and retain their independence. They wanted to retain a culture that spoke about the 00:10:17
people who first developed this area and protected it and created it and then developed it. 00:10:24
And they wanted to develop a source of revenue. Geneva Steel, at the time, was the only source of revenue. And it's interesting 00:10:33
that when Geneva, excuse me, when Vineyard put his first city budget together in 1990, they wanted a budget of $80,000, there was 00:10:40
no money because the county had already taken it away for that tax year. And so they went to Geneva Steel and asked for a loan of 00:10:48
$50,000 to operate the city. 00:10:56
The Geneva Steel gave them $15,000. 00:11:03
And they ran the city for the first year until they started generating their own tax and pretty soon they got $140,000 from the 00:11:08
tax revenue and then it built. And they, the city even reduced property taxes by 30%, which wouldn't that be a creative idea, 00:11:15
reduce the the property taxes by 30% because they had so much money, they just didn't know what to do with it. So anyway, I'll 00:11:22
leave it there, but I just thought it would be good to just remember. 00:11:30
From whence we come, why Vineyard existed in the 1st place, the hard fight that was fought by the the first residents here and. 00:11:37
I think it carries on into who we are today, a fairly independent community, the one that has a bright future and trying to 00:11:50
protect its growth and its future. So anyway, thank you for allowing me that. Yeah. Thank you, Tim. 00:11:56
You're welcome. Thanks for that. That was really awesome. 00:12:03
So this presentation is a continuation of the discussion that we had in the April 20th 22 Planning Commission meeting where we're 00:12:07
talking about updating the heritage element or the heritage chapter of the General Plan. 00:12:14
I had provided red lines and found a kind of a draft of the revisions that were made-up to this point and they were presented to 00:12:22
the Commission and basically the conversation was continued. We wanted to allow more time to get feedback on the red lines, but 00:12:30
before we before we get to that conversation, we decided that it might be good to have a conversation with us updating the general 00:12:38
plan. 00:12:45
Let's touch on what a General Plan is, what it isn't, and this provides some clarifying information because it's it's always good 00:12:53
with the general plan being a document that we refer to all the time, constantly. We want to make sure that we understand its 00:13:00
legal authorities and and how it can serve to to benefit our planning process. 00:13:08
Oops, there we go. 00:13:17
OK, so I got some a few references from the state code. 00:13:21
Each municipality shall prepare and adopt A comprehensive long range General plan for President and future names of the 00:13:25
municipality, growth and development of all or any part of the land within the municipality. 00:13:32
This plan needs to articulate the existing and desired conditions of the community as well as future land use and transportation 00:13:39
corridors. 00:13:43
The General Plan may provide for some of the following things for health, general welfare, safety, moderate income, housing, 00:13:50
economic development, future land use, historic preservation, and and many more. 00:13:57
This part of the code helps to clarify, I guess. I'll just see that it says the general plan is an advisory guide for land use 00:14:06
decision. Unless otherwise stated by local ordinance, General plan is only an advisory is only advisory in nature. 00:14:15
In many cases, the municipalities did not need to follow the General Plan. 00:14:24
So the general plan is it's a living breathing document. It's a document that can change, but it's a document that establishes 00:14:30
kind of like a ground basis for where we want to move as a community. It provides the flexibility, it gives cities the flexibility 00:14:37
of of making decisions that are sometimes outside of our general plan. But it is kind of that guidepost and so recent decisions, 00:14:44
some some decisions have been recently in the city that. 00:14:51
I guess some would argue that we're not in line with the general plan. 00:14:59
And others would argue that it wasn't in line with the Gentle Plan. But we wanted this to establish that the drone plan is is a 00:15:04
guiding document. Sometimes we can go we are legally authorized to go outside of the general plan if we if we think that's in the 00:15:10
best interest of the community. 00:15:15
Anyways, without a general plan like me does not have a long range vision, goals or strategies to guide and our growth and 00:15:23
development. So Brian, if you could just go back to that last slide and in a positive way to say that last statement is with a 00:15:31
general plan, a community has a long range vision enrolled because I think that's what it does for us. It gives us that vision, 00:15:38
the goals and the strategies. 00:15:45
Not not laws, but vision, goals and strategies, yeah. And I think it's fair to say that most of the time we follow the job plan. 00:15:52
We do our best to stick to the general plan as much as we can. That's the purpose of doing these updates. And I think that's why 00:15:59
the state encourages regular updating and referencing of the general plan. 00:16:05
Um, very important this up to me this afternoon. The general plan serves as a necessary and effective budgeting document. We 00:16:17
actually can't have a lot of our infrastructure. We can't build or construct our infrastructure unless it's it's shown on the 00:16:23
general plan like our open spaces, our parks, our utilities like all that stuff has to be shown and reflecting the general plan 00:16:29
for you to move forward with that. 00:16:36
Big impacts could be coming. 00:17:13
Kind of a companion document to the general plan. And so you'll see that General plan is a big overarching one and you have a lot 00:17:48
of like master plans and things that are companion dog documents to that. But yeah, you're absolutely right. 00:17:53
Right. So, yeah, we wanted to provide this level of information that perhaps in the future after we've made our amendments and 00:18:00
established our our general plan that sometimes it might go at least in interpretation, it might go against the general plan. And 00:18:07
and we shouldn't always expect the general plan to be followed to the team. We do our best to follow it, follow it, but it does 00:18:14
have that flexibility. 00:18:22
Is all I want to say. 00:18:29
OK. It's important to update the general plan. So here we are. 00:18:34
Turned off accidentally. Sorry. 00:18:39
And here's some of the reasons why it's important to keep your general Plan updated. It helps us to understand significant changes 00:18:41
in the community as time goes by. It helps us to identify missing elements in the in our General Plan. 00:18:47
This year the state is changing a few, a few adding a few requirements of things that need to be updated in the general plan. 00:18:55
We need to update our modern income housing element in our general plan. Now we also need to provide an A section of the general 00:19:04
plan that talks about our event includes us a station area plan for permanent transit infrastructure. So cities that have like a 00:19:12
front runner station now they need to provide a station area plan for the adjacent. 00:19:20
Area around that station and how that's going to function best for people in the community. It helps us to identify conflicts in 00:19:28
the plan and in our municipal ordinances or if there's any discrepancies. It helps to establish accuracy with the zoning map and 00:19:36
of course it helps us to move forward in a in a positive direction as as our community grows. 00:19:44
Is there a requirement to do it? What says regularly, so no defined time. You don't have to do it every five years or something. 00:19:53
Yeah, I we switched that in the code. I was looking at state code today. I could not find a set time other than understanding that 00:19:59
the encouragement is to update it regularly. 00:20:05
Yeah. 00:20:12
But when it comes to, there are there is a section when it comes to moderate income housing elements of the General Plan State 00:20:14
Code Section 1098408 requires us to review and report on this topic annually. 00:20:21
Moderate income housing and cities being able to provide affordable housing for people isn't is top on the list for for a lot of 00:20:30
the planning that's going on in the state. And so this year we'll have to provide that report along with a few updates in our 00:20:36
goals and strategies of our general plan by October. So we're we're working on that as as we as we speak. So we'll be touching on 00:20:43
that pretty soon with you guys. 00:20:49
OK. And moving to the heritage portion of this presentation. 00:20:58
Let's chat if if there are any comments on the red lines that were presented last time. If there's anything you guys feel that 00:21:03
needs to be added or taken away or changed, there's an opportunity for you guys to to let us know what you think if you've had the 00:21:08
chance. 00:21:13
So I'll just open up to you guys. Oh, they've had a chance. You've had the chance. 00:21:21
So this discussion will keep going. So if if there are no comments today, we're happy to pick this up in the coming weeks or every 00:21:28
few weeks or every, every Planning Commission. We want to touch on updates to the general plan. So expect this, this competition 00:21:34
to be reoccurring. So, so just a general comment from the Heritage Commission, we feel that there have been some things left out 00:21:41
in the attempt to consolidate and. 00:21:48
You know, minimize wording and and those types of things, but we're not prepared yet to say what those are, just got comments back 00:21:56
from people how about this or how about that? And it was left out. So I'm sensing that there may be more effort to put some things 00:22:04
back in with the with the overall goal of keeping it minimal. So that's about the only thing so far we can report. Yeah, Tim, 00:22:11
would it be helpful to do a similar work session with the Heritage Commission? 00:22:18
Yeah, it could be, surely. 00:22:26
Yeah, if you want to let us know a time we're happy to attend that, OK. Would that be on any on any day, I mean of the week kind 00:22:29
of thing or? 00:22:35
Yeah. Happy. 00:22:43
The other thing, I was going to bring up it and I don't know want to play sick anymore, burden on staff for staff reports and 00:22:46
things like that. But I think anytime there's a project that's coming up or something that we're taking action on if there are. 00:22:52
Applicable parts of the general plan that we should be reviewing as we go along. So like view 2.1 about land use or this about 00:22:59
heritage. I think that would help us keep this top of mind rather than a little more like something that's collecting dust and 00:23:05
then we look at it once a year or whatever it might be that would that would keep a top of mind for every meeting. So you're 00:23:11
saying like heads up before time or even just like so you know item 4.1 today like applicable general plan section. Oh OK, like 00:23:17
like reference. 00:23:22
Get some references on the gender or a staff report or you know it with recommendations and they wouldn't necessarily have to be 00:23:28
with every little thing. But for major projects, I think it's extremely important that we are referencing the general plan for 00:23:34
sure. For sure we can do that. In fact because the general plan is on APDF, we could, we could attach the specific PDF pages of 00:23:40
the general plan to the agenda that way, a quick reference I think that's particularly. 00:23:46
Applicable to the rezone or things like that where we're we're we're stepping outside of the more administrative kind of decisions 00:23:54
you know and where where we need to be. 00:23:59
Conscious of how 5th and general we've been doing the for like rezones and new tax, we've been doing the general plan table so 00:24:04
that that that's in there. If if you want something more at like the front end for a political, what we do is we run through the 00:24:09
general plan all the goals and objectives and we grab the ones that we find are applicable either in a good way or a bad way and 00:24:14
then we try to do like a short analysis on it. 00:24:19
I saw the microphone creeping closer to you. 00:24:25
I agree. 00:24:34
Now. 00:24:36
That would make a good point specifically at least from staff reports that come from us, we'll we'll make sure that they highlight 00:24:40
their goals, the goal, the goals that it's achieving in terms of what like what this particular project is achieving in terms of 00:24:47
from the general plan and specifically the types of goals that the general plans outlining. So this way when you see the Wind 00:24:53
Planning Commission sees the staff report. 00:24:59
They know that we've done I do buildings to ensure that we're abiding to our dining lines being the general plan. 00:25:05
Have you received land use manuals? 00:25:15
Have you ordered the land use manuals for them? 00:25:21
I'm embarrassing him. 00:25:25
Publicly over it, because you all should be receiving land use manuals. They're just books that talk about all the different, you 00:25:27
know, Council Planning Commission. And I found it really helpful because it helps you understand what Planning Commission can do. 00:25:34
So she gave me the reference, She gave me the contact. Amber Radison gave me the contact to the Ombudsman. So I'll be reaching 00:25:40
out. 00:25:47
She still loves me. 00:25:56
One of you would prefer an Audible version of it that we can look see if they have one. I'm not like some audiobook. I think that 00:25:57
would put me something like something I can search more easily. I think that's the benefit of like PDF writing. I don't believe 00:26:06
that they have an ebook version of it, like a locally made book by somebody in Utah. Yeah. 00:26:14
We're looking around and very surprising physical copies because it is a really good book. I honestly, I referenced that book. 00:26:22
To make this presentation. It's really good stuff. I'm in front of this stuff. 00:26:27
So does anybody have any comments on the red lines specifically? 00:26:34
Other other comments, I just wanted to make sure that from the Heritage Commission that they were OK. That sounds like there may 00:26:40
be some things that were trimmed down that it's correct. Yeah, we would like to come back and make some additional proposals. 00:26:46
Yeah, that's great. We want to have them. 00:26:52
Yeah, for sure. For sure. We can definitely accommodate that, absolutely. I have a quick question. So in Vineyard, do we actually 00:26:58
have any buildings or sites that are, I guess? 00:27:03
Identified 4 historical preservation. And I know like for buildings, there's actually like a state process to formally recognize 00:27:09
these. Do we actually have any, Tim, are you able to speak on that? Yeah, I'm not aware of any that have gone through a process of 00:27:17
preservation for that purpose. We really only have one existing home from the early Pioneer days still around and in use. And 00:27:25
that's one on the corner of 400 S and Holdaway Rd. kind of on the corner. 00:27:33
It's an original Adobe building. 00:27:42
But there are some that go back to the early 20s and 30s but not back in the 1800s and there's been no effort on the land owners. 00:27:45
You know current form forever so so we have had one of one request to make you guys probably heard this about a million times the 00:28:39
other way road bike Blvd. and potentially calling that once it's formally established a a heritage road and to do sign in a 00:28:45
certain tree treatments like that. So you feel like as you could come onto that road that you're in kind of a special district a 00:28:52
little different. So I know there's some interest from the city and and doing that but we're still kind of a ways away on the 00:28:58
whole way road bike Blvd. project. 00:29:04
But, and we do have the one section of Lakeview Dr. that has Siamese up recognizing it as Walters way. 00:29:10
Those signs were put up probably six or eight months ago, just to recognize the historical nature of that particular part of a Rd. 00:29:22
But it's minimal. 00:29:29
Yeah, and the wording in the in the general plan language is is general enough that it it goes outside of just buildings, talks 00:29:34
about structures and sites and other other things. 00:29:40
So OK, so do we do we want to close on this section on on the red lines. 00:29:45
For now, we will continue in the future Planning Commission meeting. 00:29:53
OK. Yeah, we'll do that for now. The last portion of this presentation that I wanted to touch on is feature community engagement. 00:29:59
So we are discussing how how can we make the topic of of heritage, of history interesting and relevant with with the with the 00:30:07
residents. That's one of the things that is challenging. 00:30:14
How can create ideas that are creative and interesting and fun and actually engage people? 00:30:23
So that's one thing that I wanted to ask you guys is what ideas, if any, can we focus on moving forward? 00:30:28
And Brian? 00:30:39
Just just putting parameters, we're talking specifically as a Planning Commission. 00:30:41
Working through this general plan process on these questions, are you looking for more open? 00:30:47
Yeah, I guess input I guess in my mind it's kind of like for this aspect of the general plan, but also we can implement them for 00:30:53
other things that we do heritage related, but for now with updating the general plan. 00:31:00
When do you have a comment on matter? 00:31:08
Anyway, that, that that's an idea of kind of getting people to maybe engage 'cause they're gonna be, it's gonna be very relevant 00:32:19
to the anatomy of when I've lived here 5-6 years. But I think I think you'll also get some of those further reaching back type 00:32:24
stories and, you know, things that are connected with the heritage. 00:32:30
Yeah, and so storytelling is a wonderful way to capture. 00:32:36
History, development, if you will, reaching back. And we, we understand there are some oral histories available from Geneva steel 00:32:43
workers or trying to find some of those, and we would like to collect a lot more because that age of population is diminishing and 00:32:50
the same is true with those who lived here early on in the agricultural life. 00:32:58
We'd like to collect more oral stories, oral histories of people that could then be available. But you know and and then the the 00:33:07
current history. I think that's an intriguing thing because we're all trying to leave a legacy of some kind. We're all trying to 00:33:15
build on something and leave a legacy. So that's current history and even what I'd call future history, you know. So if there are 00:33:23
ways to capture stories of of what brought people to Vineyard today and and why are they here and something about their. 00:33:31
But I think that would build even public involvement by beginning in the elementary schools, teaching people about, you know, the 00:34:14
young people that are going to go home and then tell mom and dad, hey, did you know kind of thing about about vineyards? So just 00:34:19
another element that we're currently working on. 00:34:25
Tim, Yet another really great idea. 00:34:32
This is my talking point, but you have mentioned kind of like. 00:34:35
We even thought it could be somewhat competitive. You have like a test and then you bring the other public meetings say OK, we're 00:35:14
going to go through how how many can answer this question kind of thing, you know and. 00:35:19
I don't know. 00:35:25
There's something that I mentioned in our last meeting was that we need to theme it in some way. We need to have things. If we 00:35:28
just say heritage, I feel like the majority of the average person here in Vineyard just will immediately after that stop 00:35:35
listening. Not the heritage isn't great, but if there's themes to the heritage, then it's easier to build off of that. Like 00:35:43
certain cities have very specific themes for their heritage and if we can have some. 00:35:50
Defining themes where we're like this is Vineyard is known for this, this and this like, then we can build off of that a lot 00:35:58
easier than just heritage in general, because that's such a broad word. 00:36:04
Singing and like activities or in everything in general. I mean if like I'm trying to think of another city. 00:36:10
American pork, I mean, something kind of like that, yeah. But other cities like are they're famous for cheese or they're famous 00:36:21
for something. And it's not that they're famous necessarily because they're still doing it, but it's something that was done in 00:36:27
their past, and they're famous for it because of their past. And so, and they're only famous for it because they promoted it and 00:36:34
promoted it and promoted it and they sell hats and shirts and whatever. 00:36:40
And if we can't define our heritage, then it's hard to build something out of it. It's almost like branding, right? That's kind of 00:36:48
what you're getting at. 00:36:52
Just to kind of put it back off that, so for example, the city I came from was established back into the Civil War area era by. 00:36:58
By individuals, people at the end of the end of the Civil War. So it was called Soldier City as a nickname. But you're correct. I 00:37:10
mean, they went through rebranding and they came up with like 3 different logos. 00:37:15
Or three different symbols for the part of the branding and part of their heritage was always part of that around those emphasis 00:37:21
like being veterans. The other one I pulled out, the other one is they were on a big giant lake like VR and then of course they 00:37:27
had certain types of birds that was everywhere, so. 00:37:32
I think a lot of that gets to, and this is, I'm glad, Tim, you shared what you did at the beginning of the meeting because I think 00:37:40
a lot of it gets to the why, right? Why does the city exist? 00:37:45
Why it is So what What is vineyards? Why, why it is Vineyard exists as a city and not just a another neighborhood in Orem or or an 00:37:50
extension of Linden down on the shore. And so I think that gets to what you're saying Bryce. You know the cities that kind of 00:37:57
tapped into their their why they exist in the first place. 00:38:03
And how does that connect to the people that are there? I think if our heritage if, if with what we focus on. 00:38:10
Granted that what Vineyard is today is very different than what it was in the 80s when it first became an incorporated town, but 00:38:17
maybe the why isn't that as different? You know, maybe it's not agriculture anymore, but maybe it's people are still looking for. 00:38:26
A different experience than what they find an aura more Provo and some other neighboring communities. And the the way that the 00:38:36
city you know is embracing and this is maybe just coming from my head. But the way we're embracing the Lakeshore and trying to 00:38:42
address it is very different than every, you know most other cities in Utah County and trying to use that as an amenity is 00:38:49
something that we celebrate and. 00:38:55
You know the theme around independence. 00:39:03
You know, and and being distinctly different intentionally, I don't know. I think there's maybe some ideas in there that you can 00:39:06
that could be tapped into to that theme or to that branding that's that that that can appeal to the newer residents and help them 00:39:14
feel connected to the original residents. And the reason that Vineyard exists as a town and has its own identity as a as a place. 00:39:22
And Geneva Steel and like just the people that worked in vineyard and were self-made and Vineyard like talking about just 00:40:06
employment opportunities and. 00:40:11
Stuff like that, economic stuff. I think we can theme it. I think there are ways to theme. I don't know the history well enough to 00:40:19
do it, but I think that could be seen really well. 00:40:24
I'll add to that that I think that the heritage and the history can be. 00:40:31
Yeah. Sometimes when people think history, they think go back to the good old days. Today is always bad. Yes, yesterday was always 00:41:11
better, right? Like this. I don't think that's what we want to honor the past while we while we continue to move forward too. And 00:41:15
so I think there's an opportunity to kind of pull out. 00:41:20
Some of the values are the characteristics that got our city to where it is today and we'll leave it into the future too. So I 00:41:25
think there's some key opportunities there. I also think it's important you know, answering some of these questions. I think we 00:41:32
have done a good job engaging the public on the last go around. I think it's always beneficial when we focus on. 00:41:39
What people want versus kind of a cheap response of what I don't like because. 00:41:46
And we can have a quick conversation. 00:42:26
That Anthony's already initiated. 00:42:30
To the segue? Yeah, Segway. 00:42:33
Some of the the comments that we've we've had in the past is. 00:42:38
What do we do with public input? What we go out and we get it. 00:42:44
And I think that there's a distress level. 00:42:49
In. 00:42:53
OK, you do surveys, you do questionnaires, you have meetings and you put sticky pads and sticky notes up on the wall. What's the 00:42:55
result that comes from that effort? I think the public would be a lot more responsive to providing input if they felt it's really 00:43:02
used if it's valuable to the decision makers. And I think we don't have a good history in Vineyard to be able to show that and and 00:43:10
so one of my thoughts is. 00:43:17
What's the value of getting public input if we're not going to use it? 00:43:25
OK, so we want to make value. We want to make it valuable. So we're going to make an effort to go get it. 00:43:31
What will that? How will that value translate into something useful? 00:43:37
Those are just some philosophical thoughts I've had about. 00:43:42
Public input is really good. 00:43:46
On some things and other times it's not useful. 00:43:48
And so would it be more useful here to get broader opinions, broader perspectives, more buy in to the future? You know, what is 00:43:52
the reason for getting it? 00:43:57
And then how are we going to build trust to show that we'll actually use it? And when we don't use it because we've made decisions 00:44:03
that we feel are better, how do we explain that to the public? Because public input is just that, It's simply input, it's we're 00:44:10
not required to follow it. So anyway, those are just some broad philosophical questions that I would put here. 00:44:17
And I I definitely agree. I think it is. 00:44:26
And again on the engineering side, when we take, when we come up to this situation like for example Rollaway Rd. as in one and on 00:45:37
Center St. there was a traffic maneuvering sign that was that that was twice here that was causing some issues and we took public 00:45:46
input in terms of that from different types of sources like for example Facebook or petition and so forth. And with that we 00:45:54
applied our engineering portion of it, but also we didn't want to make sure that we were listening to the UN aspect of it. 00:46:02
And. 00:46:10
The even aspect and then to address that and then communicate that we did hear people because really at the end we want to. I want 00:46:13
to believe that. 00:46:17
The feedback that we get from the public is downtown. 00:46:23
I guess maybe we'll start wrapping up the the conversation, but I I think we've heard really wonderful thoughts tonight. I think 00:46:33
good things for us as a staff. 00:46:37
To think about as we receive and use and share the input that we've received from people. 00:46:41
In terms of moving forward on the specific project of updating the the the element of the general plan. 00:46:49
Let's try use the Commission. 00:46:59
For the next time that we may or one of our soon to come Planning Commission meetings if not the next one, let's put some of these 00:47:02
ideas on paper and and add to those red lines if if you see an appropriate place to add. And then we can continue that discussion 00:47:09
and and we'll continue to think about everything that was said today in terms of engagement and how we we can maximize our our 00:47:16
efforts to to get public input. 00:47:23
I only have anything to say. 00:47:31
OK. So awesome. Thank you. 00:47:35
Any other comments from the? 00:47:39
Thanks, Brian. We will move on to item 5.2 then the Geneva retail mixed-use zone. 00:47:43
Morgan, you will be presenting this again at the work session, so no action will be taken. 00:47:50
Yep, no action. 00:47:56
All right. I just want to highlight the property for you. 00:48:05
Mostly you're pretty familiar with this. 00:48:10
Sorry, I didn't have the microphone on. So the Geneva Retail mixes district, it comprises these, I think it's 10 or 11. This one 00:48:14
splits maybe it's 11 lots, which starts from O'Reilly Auto Parts and moves its way northward. You see kind of this piece right 00:48:21
here that's the Central Utah Water District parcel that they were trying to get a well sighted. So it incorporates this area right 00:48:27
here. 00:48:34
I pull over my staff report and I'll make a few comments and then you might want to just have do you guys have a PowerPoint or 00:48:42
something? OK, great. 00:48:45
All right. 00:48:55
So. 00:48:58
This development, what's being proposed, is essentially providing. 00:49:00
The building to do a mixed-use development on the north side of the of the project which would be similar in the architectural 00:49:04
field and kind of massing that you would see on the north side of 400 N. 00:49:10
And so the city staff and working with some of the council members, we would really like to see kind of your three or four parcels 00:49:17
up here have kind of that urban mixed-use connection with the Northside. The applicant is requesting auto oriented uses and so 00:49:23
that would be for like auto services, car washes and those types of uses. Currently the, the zoning code that does not allow for 00:49:30
this. So O'Reilly auto parts is we look at that it's a it's a primary retail business. So we look at the primary function and that 00:49:36
it's retail. 00:49:42
They do like some battery swapping. They'll test your batteries. Yeah. They'll help you out with some very small things in the 00:49:49
parking lot. For the most part. It's a it's a retail business as you know the property or maybe you don't know. But when the 00:49:56
central Utah water came through, there was a minute flat on these 3 N properties. So that's why the the parcel number is a little 00:50:02
funky. I try to provide an explanation of that in the staff report. 00:50:08
Wanted to also highlight kind of the general plan stuff. So sometimes it's probably helpful just to point it out. 00:50:16
I think we need to probably do a better job at the front end having these things. So you know it's not buried in the report. But 00:50:22
well we we went through the the, the, the plan, you know the code from the heritage portion of that, their code speaks to like a 00:50:29
familiar and traditional setting for for users. There's not necessarily like architectural requirements that would require like a 00:50:36
heritage type type thing. But you know they they did have something that that was kind of akin to that. 00:50:43
So the well, like one of the main points of the general plan that that worked out really well is going to bring in cards to access 00:50:52
to services. 00:50:56
Providing kind of like the human scale development and so we we we marked a few few of these if you guys want to go through this. 00:51:02
This is just kind of a work session. You don't have to do this right now but you know you're on time kind of took prep for the the 00:51:07
public hearing that that'll be following. 00:51:12
Staff is working with the applicant on several different portions of of the district. Sorry, it's got double screen on me. 00:51:19
And. 00:51:30
So they've they started their their updated draft, so we'll work on that, refine it. You guys have had both the language kind of 00:51:32
the overall staff comment and I think right now would be a good time to have the applicant get up kind of give the vision of of 00:51:38
the the district that that and overall kind of what their goal is to accomplish with that. 00:51:44
Can you just clarify again then? So we're talking about the lots up at the corner. 00:51:52
For a mixed-use project and then the remaining lots to the South with a more auto oriented commercial standalone buildings. 00:51:58
Yeah, So that right now they're all under the RMU zone. And so this would be a zoning math amendment. I would flip those into a 00:52:09
new zoning district and Geneva retail mixed-use. There's there's a lot of similarities between the RMU. One of the other things 00:52:15
too and I think this is a good discussion to have with with the applicant is in regards to residential, you know whether or not 00:52:22
you'd be open to the mixed-use portion of that housing residential or if you'd like to see more office, professional office 00:52:28
service. 00:52:35
That are mixed together. So but anyway that that's a conversation that we do need to have and so the Afghan needs to hear your 00:52:42
comments and feedback on it. Can you also speak to access points off of Geneva Rd. because it's not one per parcel, correct? No, 00:52:49
no it's not. There's a Geneva Rd. shared access management plan between Orem U dot and and Vineyard. Obviously you're going to get 00:52:56
your access on the north side for 400 N once that intersection improvements occur. 00:53:04
A back access, an easement that runs the length and I'm sure Jason can kind of get more details on that. And then there's I think 00:53:12
sort of in the middle is the full. 00:53:16
Access onto Geneva and then there's a possibility of adding right in, right out by any two others on the corridor. 00:53:22
OK, let's have the applicant then. 00:53:31
Up and share with what you've gotten and we'll ask our questions. 00:53:34
So. 00:53:48
Well, he's getting that. 00:53:53
Morning. I didn't mention that. When you have an updated version, we've been working with staff. 00:53:56
Has some feedback on some of the different items, so this is an updated version. 00:54:02
Still not necessarily the final version. 00:54:09
Steps. 00:54:16
Into the process, but we're excited to be here tonight to hear. 00:54:17
Your thoughts on what it is we are? 00:54:21
It's gone. 00:54:32
That hours. 00:54:35
You know I have to download it the the two can't fit next to each other for some reason. All right, sorry Here, I need that one 00:54:40
more minute. 00:54:43
Sorry, just to clarify. So this this text is. 00:55:13
Based on the RMU text or this is a OK. 00:55:17
So the under when you say underlying new codex to the art, the RMU. 00:55:21
So. 00:55:26
This is, it will be a new code. It's a new code section. We took the RMU district right and made as a template basically. So 00:55:28
underline means it's new code to the. 00:55:33
Previous to the RMU as the template, and then strikethrough is where you remove stuff from what arm you had, so there's no 00:55:39
strikethrough. This is just additions, yeah, because it is a new section, so we're not modifying the RNU at all, OK? 00:55:47
If you want to go to the next one that show the reasoning why, I mean the RMU is a large area and we're just talking about a very 00:55:56
small area with some very unique circumstances that it seems appropriate, this seems like an appropriate. 00:56:04
Process and methodology to. 00:56:12
Identify standards that are appropriate for that limited scope in that limited area. 00:56:15
So next one. 00:56:22
Thank you. So it highlighted highlighting yellow. This is what we're talking about with O'Reilly O'reilly's building on the South. 00:56:25
And so as you can see, this subdivision is is really unique in that it sits between the multifamily and Geneva Rd. As we've talked 00:56:32
about, access is is limited there. When the plot was recorded, there were several access points and a shared driveway shared 00:56:40
access across the frontage and then there's also an easement across the back. 00:56:48
Utility easement that goes all the way down. We anticipate utilizing as. 00:56:56
Access as well, especially on the northern parcels where there wouldn't be the ability to that frontage Rd. 00:57:03
To to access 400 as it's too close to the intersection. 00:57:12
So based on the location. 00:57:15
And the needs. I think it didn't make sense to modify the whole RMU code as opposed to just adopting a specific code for those 00:57:20
specific blocks. 00:57:26
So this is actually. 00:57:35
This is the plat. We can't really see it all that well, but in the flat there's a partial A across the top, so north is to the 00:57:36
left. 00:57:41
The partially across the top which is you got owned parcel. 00:57:46
And then there are the access points. The shared access points are included there as well. 00:57:52
I don't know if you can. Can you see it very well? OK, so. 00:58:00
There's actually 3. 00:58:06
Free access points. 00:58:12
And then you can see on the furthest N parcel that shared driveway requirement. There's no frontage. That shared access. Shared 00:58:13
driveway doesn't go across the front for that long. 00:58:18
And then you can see across the back the West side of those lots, there is that utility piece that that funds all of all of those 00:58:24
parcels. What's the, what's the actual width and depth of of those lots? 00:58:31
Of. 00:58:41
OK. I can say that on the record. So you pick it up, so there are two 275 feet deep approximately and 150. 00:58:44
275 feet wide. 00:58:55
Yep. 00:58:58
So what we're proposing is a new section code, the Geneva Rd. mixed-use applicable only to that area that was highlighted in 00:59:02
yellow. It is based on regional mixed-use that was the starting starting point on the template. 00:59:10
And as as Morgan mentioned one of the. 00:59:18
The the driving forces in adopting this new zone is to allow more auto centric uses. And the goal isn't just to rezone it to Hwy. 00:59:25
commercial and heavy commercial. That's not the intent. The intent is to take the mixed-use zone and allow some more auto centric 00:59:33
uses while still requiring those things in the mixed-use that are important. 00:59:42
So it's almost a transitional zone between Geneva Road and the regional mixed-use. 00:59:51
And so that's that's the main, one of the main reasons that we're taking this approach. So it does and we do include design 01:00:00
criteria for the buildings and specific lot standards for the loss. So it's not a matter of let's just allow whatever and you can 01:00:07
do whatever and that's one of the things that's why we're here. We're excited for this work session to hear your thoughts as we 01:00:14
work to refine the code. So one of the things. 01:00:20
The the use table generally copied the regional mixed-use for what is permitted, with few exceptions. 01:00:28
As Morgan mentioned, the first one being the vehicle and equipment repair miner and I included the definitions. So the vehicle and 01:00:36
equipment repair major, that is not what we're interested in doing at all As far as auto body repair, you know heavy auto repair 01:00:43
paint. 01:00:50
Heavy equipment repair, that sort of thing. It is the vehicle and equipment repair miner. 01:00:58
So the maintenance, vehicle oil change, facilities, air conditioning repair, the intent is you know vehicles come and are repaired 01:01:04
and leave. It's not that they're stored there that that they're there for an extended period of time is kind of what that the 01:01:11
distinction in general terms between the two. 01:01:17
And then the other one that is a conditional use currently in the RMU is the car wash which would be a permitted use. And we've 01:01:25
we've talked to staff and I think there's several different ways of of going about it. Our approach is to include some very 01:01:33
specific standards that may not be appropriate elsewhere in the city as opposed to amending the code so that all car washes have 01:01:40
to meet these specific standards where we're talking about a limited area we can really. 01:01:48
Dial in to. 01:01:56
Good standards and some good mitigation strategies to include in the code so that it is would be a permitted use. Is the intent 01:01:58
just a question on the the tires? 01:02:04
Would this allow for? 01:02:11
Retail shops that sell only tires, and I mean I noticed there that you can install tires and things like that would be a minor, 01:02:14
but is it also minor to have a? 01:02:19
Tire sales facility like Big O or something like that. Yeah, I mean and typically those places if they're selling them, they're 01:02:25
installing them. 01:02:30
Which is, which is permitted under the repair. I think if they're just selling something, it would be a retailer. Yeah, I think it 01:02:35
would be allowed. Yeah, I think so. 01:02:41
The. 01:02:48
Can you just because I don't know can you share what auto centric? 01:02:51
Can you give us a broad spectrum of what Autocentric would be? I understand car washing and things like that, but what other types 01:02:57
of Autocentric businesses, I mean I think this the vehicle and equipment for a minor kind of talks about those types of uses, so 01:03:03
places that provide oil changes for vehicles that. 01:03:09
And are there others that you can think of that well, I mean, there's places like the two necks that do. 01:03:19
I mean they may do oil changes, but they also do the air conditioning repair, you know the battery front end alignments, 01:03:27
businesses like that. So alignment balancing would be part of that as well. 01:03:34
I'm just trying to. 01:03:43
I'm just trying to picture, as I'm driving down Geneva, what kinds of businesses might I see? 01:03:44
There, yeah. And again, I think the we'll get to it, but the intent is as you're envisioning that is that it's not just a straight 01:03:49
highway commercial type. 01:03:54
Development that there are design standards and design criteria to ensure that it it fits the character of a vineyard and division 01:04:02
of vineyard. 01:04:07
So going through some of the. 01:04:16
Specific standards. So we do talk about the rear alley and then the northern lots being accessed by the rear alley and the desire 01:04:18
to have the buildings placed as close to Geneva Rd. as as possible in the parking areas not permitted in the front yards that the 01:04:27
parking would would be in the rear. So again, kind of a distinction from what a typical. 01:04:36
Highway commercial type business businesses look like so these would sit closer to Geneva than say the AutoZone is because it has 01:04:46
parking in front and that is correct. Yep. So and I guess that's a good litmus test. So to stay as to what is permitted, what's 01:04:53
been permitted there already and the product that's been placed there versus what it what the vision is that we have of what we're 01:05:01
proposing, Do we feel like we're we're pretty comfortable knowing with Geneva. 01:05:08
Plans for Geneva Rd. Where? 01:05:16
Because if, you know, if when it gets widened that we're not putting buildings and businesses, I mean I like having the businesses 01:05:19
close the road, but. 01:05:23
Do we feel like we're comfortable, we know where that's going to land when Geneva gets widened? Yes, through conversations with 01:05:28
with you not as well as as I mentioned in that plat there is that parcel a that buffer already that would allow when I need those 01:05:36
widen for that to be utilized for U dot for their. And typically what we're seeing now U dot is keeping the the sidewalk and park 01:05:43
strip and those things within there right away. So they have control over it. 01:05:50
And that's what the conversation has been what what we anticipate happening there. Because then I guess that would be my next 01:05:58
question is what that interface would look like as it's phased right if if these parcels get developed? 01:06:04
We know Geneva is going to get widened. Where does the sidewalk land? What gets what? What do you do with that space, the 01:06:11
interstitial in between space that's waiting for Geneva to come in. There's a little, there's a little dance there that I'm, I 01:06:19
guess I'm curious how that would play out. The intent is to bring the buildings as close as possible. Where part of the challenge 01:06:27
is there is that shared driveway easement across the front of the lots, especially all of the southern lots and so. 01:06:35
What we're proposing is that the setbacks are measured off that 20 foot. 01:06:45
A 25 foot access easement in the front where that's required, where that's not required that we're able to push the buildings a 01:06:50
little bit further. 01:06:54
Closer to the road which is further north in the subdivision and that that strip actually gets wider, so there is more room for U 01:07:01
dot to develop within the right of way within that park strip in that in the northern portion of the the development. 01:07:08
So would you not be putting in the sidewalks and stuff along there or would that be part of the development requirements on the 01:07:16
City side? 01:07:20
So for on the with the Geneva comment going through D dollar typically like real estate of DDOP would like to have the actual 01:07:25
sidewalks within the UDAB right away it's U dot. If there's any kind of connections along I want to Geneva that the developer is 01:07:32
going to be discussing E dot D dot criteria that's between E dot and developer at that time. 01:07:39
So again, these are an excellent questions and that's really what's unique about this area that you know elsewhere in the Army you 01:07:49
obviously don't have these kinds of. 01:07:53
Questions and issues. So Jason, can you clarify then on the on the front floor lots you're showing in in the plat that that front 01:07:58
easement, our preference obviously is to not have a driveway in front of the mixed-use building. Would you be amending the plat to 01:08:06
pull that back off of off of those four lots? So we probably need to get into a little more, little more detail where we don't 01:08:14
have site designs and specific uses identified for each of each of the laws. 01:08:22
And so I. 01:08:30
Yeah. I mean the intent with with this was that the Northern 4 lots are accessed by the alley to allow that flexibility of a of a 01:08:32
mixed-use development and mixed-use project there. However, the, you know we're not proposing the code to identify a specific use 01:08:40
for each specific law per SE. Yeah. And I don't think we are either, but I think it's like kind of the unifying theme is like the 01:08:48
north be be mixed-use and so that that's where I'm maybe having a little consternation is having the. 01:08:56
They are accessed via the rear cool. 01:09:37
What? Is there a proposed height limit in this? Are you changing that it's staying with what the RMU is, so it's #5 on page 2. 01:09:41
So 66 feet. And that's what's currently zoned for that area anyway. 01:09:53
I don't what what stops this development? Well, I guess the question is what? What makes this difference that we don't end up kind 01:09:58
of like State Street and where? 01:10:02
Where it takes forever to turn in and out of a similar I think shopping centers and locations like this, what would the I guess 01:10:08
parking and and traffic situation be like? So I think really the rear alley across the lots is especially those northern lots and 01:10:15
the limited access points that are. 01:10:22
Between the rear alley, the limited access points off Geneva Road and the front share drive on, the other locks are really what 01:10:31
makes this a lot different. 01:10:36
Than our standard strip mall type development or orange straight through State Street where every lot has has a driveway and has 01:10:42
an access. That's a really good point. I mean consolidating driveway, I mean you look at 10 lots if you have 3. 01:10:48
Entry points into the site. I mean that's that's seven less than what like a State Street configuration would have. Additionally 01:10:57
to we have a sign ordinance that's a lot different than what the historic forum sign ordinance was, but that's where all those are 01:11:01
vested. Jeff knows this described very well. 01:11:06
Having have worked on State Street but we so our sign code doesn't allow for just your straight pull signs that they see on 01:11:12
station. That actually has a pretty big impact. I think you guys intention too is like your standalone sign would be more of a 01:11:17
multi tenant sign right like consolidating signage. So you're not going to have 10 separate like no monument signs on the street, 01:11:23
your brain try to consolidate them. 01:11:28
That answer your question? 01:11:36
So I can't help but feel like writing a new zoning ordinance is just a way to get more. 01:11:39
Units Residential units in A. 01:11:48
You didn't mention really anything about residential units and that's going to be the big sticking point for a lot of people 01:11:51
because you have to alloy the Concord, the Vine, Lincoln Square, all of those areas are. 01:11:57
Mixed-use and none of them have any retail in them. 01:12:03
And then we just added the, the apartments just north with the top golf facility. Really I don't want to see any residential use 01:12:08
in this area at all because this is supposed to be the mixed-use for Concorde Divine Lincoln Square, the alloy. 01:12:16
And yeah, I just want to say that right now for. 01:12:26
What? What is? What was your intention with any kind of residential? 01:12:29
So on page two, number three is the residential intensity but. 01:12:36
I mean I think we'll be honest that the intent is this is a commercial development. It is a pullover from the regional mixed-use 01:12:40
zone and that that is an aspect of the mixed-use zone is residential. And so there was talk of including residential units on the 01:12:50
second story type with a you know a commercial first story. We are identifying that if. 01:13:00
Residential is to happen. It is going to be done through the development agreement. 01:13:10
So that's I guess that's if it goes up to 85 units. So currently the RMU is at the 26 units per acre. 01:13:20
Is that the current? Yes. And there has the development stipulation that was that was placed that's also in the RMU? Yeah, yeah, 01:13:28
that that was done through the, the, the, the, the text amendment that happened last year, but it's maxed out currently as far as 01:13:34
residential units goes. So technically there can't be any residential units here unless. 01:13:40
So 66 feet is how many floors stories. 01:15:01
Is that two or three 563? Yeah, it depends on the office buildings, probably be a little bit less on a residential. I think you 01:15:06
can crunch them in a, but it depends on how they're designed. 01:15:13
And so if these are multi storied and it sounds like some of them will be. 01:15:21
If residences weren't on those upper floors, what would then go in businesses, I mean private offices is that what could draw. So 01:15:27
I I guess they're yeah office is a possibility. There is no requirement that they build to that height and and the other thing to 01:15:35
remember is the site size, there are big constraints on the site size as far as going extremely tall and so yes, I mean if it was 01:15:43
going to be a multi story mixed-use typically. 01:15:51
What's on those additional stories are residential and office space. 01:15:59
Steve Hutchings, Sex development, Most likely on that corner if we don't get residential, which honestly, we're not saying, hey, 01:16:06
we need residential on this. 01:16:10
It was brought up to us by staff saying that'd be really cool because of our N development, this residential, maybe having 01:16:16
something that mirrors that and really having that really good entrance into Vineyard where I think the city staff and other 01:16:22
people have been dissatisfied with Center St. and kind of how that entrance. 01:16:28
Turned out I see 800 N is the open field at the well on the corner and like how that's turned out and so we we were like OK yeah 01:16:35
we're we're OK to look into this. So but we're not coming saying let's let's go in let's add a whole bunch of other units. If we 01:16:45
don't do a six story residential what name level commercial then most likely that corner would be a one story building. 01:16:54
Developing an office right now? We'd love to, but like. 01:17:05
We've had one tenant come in, you know, in the last. 01:17:08
You know like three years, two years and then you had actually brought the tenant to us and. 01:17:13
Was. You know, we actually really love that tenant, but. 01:17:18
Not sure if there's a deal to be made there or not, especially on this site with the amount of square footage they need. I don't 01:17:22
think it's likely that it would be mainstream main level commercial, you know, like retail with office above. You know, if there's 01:17:28
demand for that. Personally, I'd love to. You know that I don't know if the parking would allow like we we have a little site 01:17:34
layout with the parking structure that would be very similar to our N site. We have 6 levels of parking and basically almost 01:17:41
mimicking the exact same thing. 01:17:47
That's the only reason it's in there, you know? So we're we're honestly fine either way. Cool. 01:17:53
I would just mirror. 01:18:02
Rice's comments. 01:18:04
I don't like the idea of anymore residents residential. 01:18:06
Along that area at all. 01:18:12
I think we've gone back on our word not word that been on our plans and we've made amendments to allow for for it and. 01:18:14
I'd just like to see us use it for other commercial uses or. 01:18:23
That type of thing. 01:18:27
For the setbacks are these, is this, is this unique? This seems pretty, you know, 5 feet setbacks and minimum setbacks between 01:18:30
buildings it seems. 01:18:34
Not very big in terms of a set back distance. Is this unique compared to two other districts we have? Yeah, I mean our residential 01:18:40
districts have fairly large like 20 feet and then a lot of cases. So we have to, I don't, I don't have this pulled up but do you 01:18:46
have this the setbacks for for this? 01:18:51
It's the next one. How about that? OK, great. So we are, I think what's a bit unique about the site one is the easements across 01:18:59
the properties. And so where are those easements exist in that sense where? 01:19:06
Utilize that as as the set back so it's thirty across the front and 35 across the rear. 01:19:13
So I mean and that's that's more generous than what you find in most commercial zones. Granted it is intended that the access way 01:19:23
would would be utilized within that set back, the front set back with the the five feet when that cross access easement isn't 01:19:30
there. Our thoughts and the justification for that is typically within that set back you have the sidewalk, you have the park 01:19:37
strip, you have these other improvements however. 01:19:44
Where you dot is going to be utilizing those in the right of way that in essence to be able to facilitate a. 01:19:51
Larger buildings as well as creating that unique feel. 01:20:00
I guess my concern is you look at what we have over by the theater right now and it's you go there on the weekend and it's so 01:21:20
tight and congested still, even even with parking spots open, just driving through, trying to get around, you have to wait for a 01:21:26
car to make a turn so you can then turn. And I want to make sure we account for that with with the density so residents don't 01:21:32
immediately just start complaining of wow, it's so hard to drive around in this place and there's no room. 01:21:38
And so, and I think one of the things to keep in mind that is a kind of a throwback or pulling in with with the mixed-use is the 01:21:45
pedestrian accessibility is also key and vital. You know, the intent is that there are pedestrian access ways and pedestrian 01:21:53
connections so that people don't have to drive. I mean, obviously if you're going to Jiffy Lube, you're going to bring your car. 01:22:00
But as as restaurants come in, as offices come in, as other mixed uses, resident or retail uses come in. 01:22:08
That the. 01:22:16
You don't necessarily have to drive there because there are those pedestrian connections as well. 01:22:17
Yeah, I I would. So I think on the setbacks on this conversation, I think that, um. 01:22:24
I think if this is supposed to be a mixed-use district. 01:22:30
I think it's OK if it's a little awkward to drive through and to get around and that hopefully it's the commercial that's there 01:22:33
does. 01:22:39
Create more pedestrian connections and for the people that are living in that district and that's the idea that can live there in 01:22:44
a year point Bryce, you know this was supposed to be a mixed-use district all along. We have several residential developments that 01:22:51
never did the commercial right And so now they're they got to walk to the commercial that's been built out in the yard so. 01:22:58
So I I'm, I think the, the setbacks, you know, close the road, all of that's good. 01:23:06
And and I I have a little little bit of a different perspective I think on the housing than than what Bryce and Tim have. 01:23:13
I think if we are going to add more housing and more apartments, you know, more vertical housing, this is where we would want it 01:23:21
to be. You know we're on Geneva Rd. We're on good access, you know, presumably good public transportation through there. We're 01:23:29
adjacent to the commercial. So we, you know that's a place for that type of housing to be to support the commercial I think. 01:23:38
I probably would have not recommended ever having a cap on the units in the the district altogether because I don't think that 01:23:47
that I don't think that that actually regulates the quality. It as we've talked about it didn't there were there were developments 01:23:55
that were done and it didn't actually weren't actually in alignment with the vision, the goals of the district to begin with. So 01:24:03
we kind of got off this funny start with it anyway And so to me the the cap, the number of units is a little arbitrary. 01:24:10
If if there's a development where it makes sense to have, where we can get the commercial that we need, but if we can still build 01:24:18
housing units above it. 01:24:23
I still feel really strong. We have a housing issue that needs where we need more of the housing as a region and I know we've had 01:24:29
this conversation that vineyards done its fair share compared to most other towns and I would agree, but I also think housing in 01:24:34
this location. 01:24:39
We're not impacting traffic and any other neighborhoods. We're just providing more people to support the businesses, you know, in 01:24:45
that area. So I don't mind housing as it relates to being close to the. 01:24:51
To on the northern end, right and where people in those housing units can walk to the the commercial is just like in that the the 01:24:58
development agreement that we did on the product around Topgolf where we're allowing more housing. So my personal stance is if 01:25:05
we're going to do housing that's a good place to add housing. 01:25:11
I I probably have more concerns about the auto oriented adding the auto oriented businesses in there. I get that Geneva roads a 01:25:20
big road and and and but I think the car wash issue for me is particularly a really sensitive one to look into because I I know 01:25:26
that the one in Orem by target. 01:25:33
My sister used to live in that neighborhood and that woody wash car wash has like made it unlivable for some people in that 01:25:41
neighborhood. So I get concerned about having a car wash is back. You know, back to. 01:25:47
The existing residences and if there is any discussion of adding any more residential in this area I I that increases my concern 01:25:55
of of like a car wash use just and because and the the complaint there is that the noise of the blowers as you're coming out of 01:26:01
the car wash. 01:26:06
And and it you know that people can't that live next to it. They can't go outside and have conversation outside their house. And I 01:26:14
know that there's some setbacks and guidance in here. I don't without doing more research, I don't know if it's enough. 01:26:20
To prevent some of those negative impacts from from a car wash, use UM. 01:26:26
So that I think I have a little bit of concerns and I and I'm having a hard time envisioning mixed-use with auto. Some of the auto 01:26:32
oriented uses that we've talked about. I can't think of examples in my head where I've seen an oil change you know establishment 01:26:40
that's that's mixed-use, you know that's that's worked well with mixed-use. So I I'm stuck on that and then I I do agree you know 01:26:48
we we could say from a city sample what we want commercial on offices there. 01:26:56
The forge isn't developing right and and that's office, right and and so the the demand the market isn't there right now for the 01:27:05
large office in this area. We'll talk about wanting hotel. We've talked about how we'd love to build a hotel. Hotels aren't 01:27:10
building. They're not interested right now in developing and so I. 01:27:15
Anyway, I think that was kind of my thoughts. I I'm still not 100% sold on this, on the auto oriented aspect of it. I still think 01:27:23
I want to. 01:27:28
To try to emphasize this, more of a mixed-use district, the walkable district, the more urban aspect. 01:27:33
And and I'm personally OK with the idea of housing if it's proposed in the right parameters and we are getting the commercial uses 01:27:42
and the housing is a bonus to it. It's not in place of I would strike out. 01:27:48
The. 01:27:55
Right in section B under 3 under residential intensity. 01:27:56
I wouldn't. I don't. I I don't think we want anything where it standalone residential. If if we're getting commercial and there's 01:28:01
some housing units above it, I'd entertain that, but not nothing standalone residential. 01:28:06
I wanted to go off of that a little bit too, as far as adding mixed-use the residential. I do think that being on Geneva Rd. is 01:28:14
the right place to have units, but I. 01:28:21
And I don't have a problem with units. My problem is that this area, the whole area was sold and zoned was sold to Vineyard zoned 01:28:28
as a mixed-use. So Vineyard was anticipating a certain amount of commercial to get some kind of tax dollars from I. 01:28:38
Residential units do not bring tax dollars into the city and. 01:28:48
So having this area, if we it was at least like something as far as commercial where we can get tax dollars. I agree that yeah, 01:28:55
there could be mixed-use here, but there would have to be a heck of a lot of commercial for me to feel comfortable with that 01:29:01
because this I feel like needs to be making up for everywhere else that screwed up. 01:29:08
Because this was sold as a whole. And the last person that made this agreed to it. The the people that sold it to them agreed to 01:29:16
it. The people who sold it to them agreed to it. And that's how it was done and that's how it was sold to the city. And that's how 01:29:22
I think it should be. We need those tax dollars. We need commercial. While I agree that, yes, this would be a good place for 01:29:28
residential, because if it's not impacting the most of the city, it's they're going to be getting off on Geneva and going their 01:29:34
merry way, but. 01:29:40
We need the tax dollars and the fact that there's nothing in the Vine, Lincoln Square, Concord, all of those areas, no tax dollars 01:29:46
there. We need, we need that. And so if this had like huge commercial, like a ton of commercial bringing in a lot of tax dollars, 01:29:52
yeah, I could see. I could see there being some residential above that. 01:29:58
Yeah, just a thought. And did I agree a little bit more with Jeff? 01:30:06
And a little bit between him and Bryce. So like a literally. 01:30:12
OK, so. 01:30:22
I agree absolutely. 01:30:24
With striking out three B and residential incentive intensity, we shouldn't be having any standalone residential through there. 01:30:27
Let's see. 01:30:37
And uh. 01:30:39
I actually lived in Edgewater, so this is. 01:30:42
Very directly impacting me. 01:30:45
Try to keep my opinions that way out of it as far as. 01:30:48
Those northern lots and comfortable with the idea of residential above commercial. 01:30:54
But I want. 01:31:02
At 1966 feet is too high for that. 01:31:06
That I think that would help with like not the height issue and overall intensity. 01:31:53
Yeah. And I think that combined with. 01:31:57
Perhaps, maybe number of units per? 01:32:02
Building depending on size. 01:32:05
That way, and that helped mitigate. 01:32:08
Help mitigate parking issues, despite virtue of how big or small the apartments are, and also ensuring that. 01:32:14
The commercial parking lot to be used for both which would be nice because then we're just doubling that up, which is I mean 01:32:26
always my goal just to double up the residential and commercial use of this parking lot cause. 01:32:32
But yeah, all those parking lots to the north of my neighborhood are just empty. And then everyone's parking in your dirt lots, 01:32:39
and it's not a good deal for anybody. 01:32:44
Yeah. And then ideally, 400 N is connected and we have a lot less traffic issues right there, but. 01:32:53
Yeah, I don't super love the idea of a car wash right there. It's gonna be really loud. 01:33:03
Even if we planted the biggest trees we could find, there would be years before that would block any sand. 01:33:08
And there's a lot of people, right? There is there is there already a fence separating that? There is one of the big ones. 01:33:14
Yeah, but it's not gonna. Yeah. I mean, in theory. I also have 4 kids and I'm not making any promises. 01:33:25
OK. Yeah. Is that, is that something you guys can maybe address some of the the development standards you've been considering for, 01:33:39
for the car wash? Because I think that placement of blowers, dryers that there's hours of operation, a lot of those things, if 01:33:43
they're forced even could actually make it. So the two uses could be somewhat compatible. I don't know if you're prepared for 01:33:47
that. 01:33:52
Next one, so the car wash, so I mean these are some of the things that that we've identified that. 01:33:59
There is a 50 foot set back from the property line when it's adjacent I. 01:34:08
To a residential use, the outdoor vacuums are at least 25 feet. 01:34:14
One of the things that I think our intent was but I as become this conversation has happened that the exit, the exit would be 01:34:20
facing Geneva Rd. 01:34:25
Blowers. The dryer. 01:34:32
Yes. Yeah, that's one thing. But we also have noise ordinances as well, correct and so. 01:34:34
Yeah. 01:34:43
Those would be enforceable then we'd want to consider like these commercial units to the north like they're going to be getting 01:34:45
that stand up there whether we would like to see maybe some restaurants it's an outdoor dining and it's that would make it 01:34:52
untenable. So and I think it kind of goes to Jeff's comments of the auto oriented and and the mixed-use. You know the site really 01:35:00
is unique and one of the challenges that we're trying to thread the needle on is providing. 01:35:07
Commercially viable property for those autocentric uses which is very limited in Vineyard right now as well as trying to make up 01:35:16
all the mixed-use commercial's. 01:35:21
From the RMU and so really it's no small task. We are really trying to thread that needle and we we think it's possible. We think 01:35:28
that what we've proposed here it is a bit unique to allow those more auto centric uses as well as the mixed-use uses. And you know 01:35:36
maybe we could work on clarifying it as well. I know we've talked about before loss of the North and and maybe we could go back 01:35:43
and look at some additional distinctions there but. 01:35:51
I mean, the reality is that, you know, we feel that we can pull it off and we think that this is a a good place. 01:35:59
For all of those uses. 01:36:08
Yes, there's going to be challenges whatever the use might be, but we're we're hopeful that we can adopt standards that make it. 01:36:11
Nice to drive by as well as nice to visit you guys to walk through and sit next to. So being a being a zoning text amendment, you 01:36:25
are allowed to request things that help to inform your study. And so I'm sure there's a, there's a sound engineer out there that 01:36:32
that you guys would be able to to contact and maybe have them look at because I I know you guys are working with someone but 01:36:38
they'll be looking at that type of use, they're doing some sound studies and that that could potentially help employment like this 01:36:45
type of conversation. 01:36:51
I could do an informal one where I go walk around and see who can hear me because I have a very soft voice. So yeah, I mean, if 01:36:59
they're if they're obeying our ordinances, as far as sound and stuff goes, I think we're good. And personally, I like car washes. 01:37:05
They bring in a lot of tax dollars to the city. 01:37:12
And I think Vineyard City needs one side. I don't think we should write off car washes, but we need to absolutely make sure that 01:37:20
they meet. I mean, I'd love a car wash by the house, but maybe not by my house. Yeah. Well, if they're meeting the ordinances, you 01:37:26
shouldn't notice that it's there. I mean, in theory, right? Yeah. I mean, but, I mean, that's why we have the ordinances. And as 01:37:33
they're writing the orders, too, I think this is a good opportunity to say, well, you're saying blowers are 25 feet from the 01:37:40
residential property line. 01:37:46
There they put all the vacuums adjacent to to where some of the residents live and we just got to get really careful about that or 01:38:26
it's going to be the next 20 years of receiving code complaints, right? Like, I kind of like, I kind of wish like the, you know. 01:38:32
That could be something more. 01:38:40
Where's the map? 01:38:43
On Mill Rd. By the by the businesses. 01:38:47
You know, Cornell Mill Rd. I think would make the most sense for car wash personally, far away from where everybody is living and 01:38:50
sleeping and talking. 01:38:55
There's similar kinds of noise concerns with the pneumatic wrenches that are used. They can get very loud as well, changing tires 01:39:01
and that type of thing anyway. 01:39:07
I would just be curious what our noise ordinance is and what the typical sound, you know? 01:39:15
Output of a car wash is and see see how that tracks. Because maybe maybe all these car washes are in violation of stuffed 01:39:22
ordinances in different towns. But because we want the tax dollars we want the businesses we I don't know I just know. I just know 01:39:29
that one in in arms been a significant problem for that adjacent neighborhood and there it just. I was just looking at the parcel 01:39:35
map it looks like it's. 01:39:41
It's more than 50 feet away from the property line, but because the dryers face the houses, it's it's a significant problem. So I 01:39:49
think if we can address that have the drivers on the other side, you know, I think. 01:39:55
And can how it would fit in with our own decibel sound words. And I mean not all car washes have blowers too supersonic and Norm 01:40:33
doesn't have blowers. 01:40:37
So that's just true if it's designed right. I mean, we just need to make it say the right thing as to to make sure that it's 01:40:42
designed right, if we want to have it right. And as far as like Jiffy Lube stuff, we just got to make sure that if they're close 01:40:47
to residents. 01:40:51
That they just need to be enclosed. It's as simple as that. They just not have open Bay stuff, but I think that it's definitely 01:40:58
something that we could work work with. 01:41:02
Yeah, I agree. I would maybe say too, going back on the housing element, I was reflecting on that last project that we reviewed. 01:41:08
On the Northside of a 400 and and a lot of the the argument or not an argument but a lot of the the reason to. 01:41:17
Entertain that housing component was because we were getting this big commercial. 01:41:27
Not tenant. 01:41:34
Draw with Top Golf. 01:41:35
I think we would need that same incentive. 01:41:39
Not, not another top golf, but you know. 01:41:42
I think, I think I think it's going to be a similar criteria of if they're if we're meeting the, I'm glad that Bryce has made this 01:41:47
point like the the the the main purpose and the thing that you know we really want to get out of this property is the commercial 01:41:56
use. So if there's a way to to really demonstrate that that the city gets the commercial. 01:42:04
Activity and gets the draw. 01:42:13
And if that is met and not that, that's not. 01:42:17
This little component of it to do a big housing project, we're getting a little corner coffee shop commercial use, but we're 01:42:21
getting a a legitimate commercial draw out of the project. 01:42:27
Then maybe there's there's room to look at the residential in addition to that. 01:42:33
Is that fair to say, Bryce? 01:42:39
Morgan would be possible at the next meeting if. 01:42:43
To get some education what's happening on Geneva, I guess expansion and things like that. I I don't know anything about that. So 01:42:47
it'd be beneficial going forward in these discussions to. 01:42:53
Why don't I I'll deal with with the same and and we'll talk with our partners over at U dot if we could maybe we are doing a joint 01:42:58
work session in June with the City Council and I'll send out send out the date I believe trying to remember the do you remember 01:43:04
the date on that you know. 01:43:10
But that that actually might might be a good one too because I think they'll want to to have a you know that kind of that that 01:43:18
same work session. So and I've got to give you some time second week of June. 01:43:23
Would that be OK? Now they get some time to prep. 01:43:30
Absolutely. 01:43:34
Anything else I can go back to the fire appliance model or did you, did you as applicants have anything else you wanted to touch 01:43:38
on? No, I mean we really appreciate your comments and quite honestly, I think we tend to agree, you know, talking about the 01:43:44
residential aspect even in the introduction as I went through in this last revision like you talk more about residential, they 01:43:50
took it out, they modified it because recognizing that that's not not the driving factor here. And so I think, I mean I think 01:43:56
we're on the same page. 01:44:01
And mitigating the impacts on the residential neighborhood, we recognize that that that's a concern and want want to work on 01:44:08
coming up with standards you know that we're comfortable with and that that are effective not just looking on paper. 01:44:15
Who's actually building commercial and so I so in a way that that that that I think that that helped us with with the north of 400 01:44:26
N because they're they're they're legit they they say they're going to build something and they they build it. 01:44:33
And so I I think there was just because of the history we've had with them and their pattern building commercial time and time 01:44:41
again that we install it worked really well on that deal. So maybe, you know we explore something similar. Yeah, it was. It would 01:44:47
be cool to not just have the forge to walk to from my house. I just. 01:44:53
I wanna get out, you know, Just sounds like a thanks straw for hundreds of people just right there, right around the corner. 01:45:00
You know, maybe someday. 01:45:10
I think the only other thing that I haven't mentioned is we do allow, I want to make sure to point out that we do allow shared 01:45:13
parking and anticipate that being a further conversation of of shared parking. 01:45:20
So again, trying to be mindful of where we're at and the issues and constraints and coming up with a solution that that works for 01:45:28
everyone. Cool. 01:45:33
Thanks. 01:45:40
Thanks guys. 01:45:41
Right, thanks. And I don't know if you guys want to hang out for 10 minutes. The next presentation actually deals with Mill Rd. of 01:45:43
400 N and some of the conversations that we've had kind of on a periphery of that the the development agreement, but the BYU class 01:45:49
put together not I'm not trying to steal your center, but put together really great class project. And Brian going to run through 01:45:56
it just to show the the plantation you're a lot of leave, I'm just saying if you want to stay. 01:46:02
Is Brian promising to keep you 10 minutes or is this? 01:46:09
Maybe 15. 01:46:14
Sorry. 01:46:22
All right, Brian, my hair safe one, Yes spoke. We had. We invited BYU 510 geography classes, or Capstone class to work with us to 01:46:24
collaborate with Vineyard City. We thought there's an existing need for roadway infrastructure improvements along 400 N and along 01:46:34
Mill Rd. There's currently safety issues for pedestrians and cyclists and vehicles, accessibility and connectivity issues. 01:46:44
That could be improved, a reduction in auto dependency. We could use more amenities and of course there's always room for more 01:46:54
parking in Vineyard. So the two the BYU classified up into two groups, it was a Mill Rd. project and then there was a 400 N group 01:47:00
project and then they both came together at the end of the semester and kind of provided A convinced comprehensive set of 01:47:07
recommendations in a in a planning document. 01:47:13
So just to give a little background, Vineyard as we know our population is growing immensely. By 2050, the Mountain Association of 01:47:22
Governments anticipates that our population will double and that our employment base will quadruple by 2050. 01:47:29
Currently along Mill Rd. there's less than 6000 trips per day, but by that time, by 2015 there's going to be anywhere between 6000 01:47:38
to 18,000 trips per day on Mill Rd. So lots more activity. 01:47:43
But that being said, the current size of Mill Rd. which is 55, sorry, not 50 lanes, 5 lanes, 5 lanes exceeds the current and 01:47:50
projected demand even though there there will be that amount of growth. So it's it's quite, I guess there's just a lot of space 01:47:57
there. 01:48:03
Umm, so future development, we have the UVU vineyard campus expansion going on, that's going to be, that's going to provide more 01:48:11
educational facilities, offices and there's conversations about student housing. The Forge mixes development with which was just 01:48:19
mentioned, more retail offices and essential The Yard A&B which is being currently being developed by 50 Mill LLC. The the 01:48:26
applicants that just spoke, they're providing retail services, offices and added residential. 01:48:34
And then there are upcoming transit connections along the road to the Front Runner station and to that transit. How that's coming 01:48:43
in the near future? 01:48:48
Here, the overarching goals of their project. I'm trying to speak as best to their project as I can. They want to improve West to 01:48:55
east pressing connectivity. They want to balance the north to South multimodal transportation, and they want to provide pedestrian 01:49:02
connectivity between all those developments that are in and around this part of Vineyard and leading to the downtown. 01:49:10
So here the existing conditions on Mill Rd. the existing right of way is 98 feet five lanes. They're in some places there are no 01:49:18
sidewalks and others there are but they they don't always connect. There's no crosswalks at the at the time and that's partially 01:49:25
due because there's not a lot of land use activity on the on the West side of Mill Rd. 01:49:32
There there is a bike lane on one side of the road, but it's it exhibits a low quality of service. It's probably like 3 feet wide 01:49:40
and you're it's scary to to ride on there. 01:49:46
Yeah, yeah, it's, it's. 01:49:56
It's a crazy one. So in general it's it's unfavorable to pedestrians and to cyclists and in terms of vegetation there's very 01:49:59
limited green space. 01:50:04
These are their dining principles, some of the best practices that they wanted to encourage that would facilitate alternative 01:50:10
modes of transportation. They suggested expanding sidewalks. 01:50:15
Adding separated or protected bike lanes providing physical barriers between pedestrian, cyclists and vehicles. Safer 01:50:21
intersections. 01:50:25
Lowering the speed limits appropriately and a right sizing of no Rd. 01:50:29
In general we they they think that we need to shift the focus from the current audio auto oriented design to more of the 01:50:35
multimodal design and here are some of their concepts. This is a street section that shows a median. So a new design of Mill Rd. 01:50:41
that includes A median with parking. 01:50:47
And I'll give you a little more time to look at that. I just went through really quick. 01:50:55
So this this design keeps two lanes in both directions but. 01:51:00
It kind of plays around with with the widths of of each lane to be able to add a a median with vegetation in the middle and and A 01:51:06
and a parking a lane of parking that's 8 foot wide along that medium. 01:51:13
So here the some of the some things that some more things that are features. Separates the flows of traffic with the median. 01:51:22
Retains 4 lanes of traffic. Provides on street parking as protected bike lanes expand some of the sidewalks provides landscaping 01:51:29
and and St. trees reduces vehicular travel speeds and provides parking other twice. 01:51:36
Here are some examples that they provided to go along with their design of of where it's been done in other places. 01:51:45
And here's a local example. I believe there's images from Provo. Yeah, so this is Center St. on Provo. 01:51:54
And as we all know, we all been there. So it's a great place. It's a very pedestrian friendly. Traffic is slowed down to 50 mph. 01:52:01
That's not what they're recommending per se, but. 01:52:06
Take Providing a more appropriate speed for safer conditions is what they're trying to get up. 01:52:11
Here's a second design. It's a It's a road diet. So a road diet is when you take. 01:52:20
Added or excessive amounts of lanes and retrofit them for another use, usually simply for for parking. But that added space that 01:52:27
is gained can also be used for bike lanes, for wider sidewalks, for street trees, mediums, things like that. 01:52:35
So this one uses. The unique features about this one is that it transforms the 2 outer traffic lanes into street parking. It 01:52:43
provides one lane of traffic in both directions. 01:52:49
10 to 12 foot sidewalks on either side. It retains those protected bike lanes and provides that separation or those those physical 01:52:56
barriers inserts those physical barriers between pedestrians and moving traffic and and as the parking. 01:53:03
There's a SketchUp model that they worked on. This is I think it was pretty nicely done, just showing that there there can be gaps 01:53:12
in the medians for for left turns or for turning around if necessary. 01:53:19
This road design concept would also provide flashing beacons for pedestrians. 01:53:29
No, that's still on the road. Yeah, that's still on the road. 01:53:38
And in general, it provides more room for walking, cycling and the other elements that I mentioned. 01:53:43
Intersection design was a big thing that we asked them, that we asked the students to highlight. So they thought that there is a 01:53:52
need for an intersection, a more complete intersection somewhere between 400 N and Vineyard Connector. And they felt that the best 01:53:59
placement for that intersection with those added treatments would be at E 650 N and Mill Rd. So that's the street just above the 01:54:06
entrance into. 01:54:13
Like where the Panda Express is. So it's kind of like that that middle section area between the interconnector and 400 N. 01:54:20
They thought that that design, whatever it may be, should provide kind of a gateway entrance or gateway experience into not just 01:54:28
vineyard, but into the area as a whole, as a shopping, as a regional shopping attraction and to UVU. 01:54:35
Campus and their preferred design would be what's called a protected roundabout. 01:54:44
Here's another SketchUp concept that they provided for us. 01:54:51
And here's some. So this is an aerial and then the following image shows. 01:54:56
Places where it's been adopted. So let's talk about the features of this design and why they felt this was important. 01:55:03
It is protected, A protected dedicated track around the roundabout for cyclists. It clearly Marks and designates sidewalks. It 01:55:12
provides space for vehicles that are waiting to get into into into the roundabout and also provide space for vehicle running to 01:55:19
get out of the roundabout. So here's the image again. 01:55:25
Visibility is a big feature of this roundabout. 01:55:33
So you're you're always able to see pedestrians coming and cyclists coming, and vehicles that are approaching. It provides 01:55:38
flashing beacons for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians each crosswalk I. 01:55:43
OK. So moving on to the 400 N concepts. 01:55:51
So they are looking at a total future residential unit count of 3175. And this image that's hard to see, it kind of shows the 01:55:58
numbers. But this projection does not include the potential residential that UVU might provide is because I don't know, we don't 01:56:06
know that even UVU knows what they're going to provide. So there's no way to account for that at the moment. 01:56:13
They. 01:56:22
They think that or they want to provide. 01:56:25
These intersection treatments at in these areas, So at 400 sorry at Mill Rd. At 710 E and at Geneva and 400. 01:56:28
As a side project, we didn't ask this from them. This kind of went outside of the scope of what we requested. 01:56:40
They provided some recommendations for the trail that is along the east side of the railroad tracks that would connect all the way 01:56:47
up to the front runner. So they recommended some improvements along there and their ideas are actually interesting. 01:56:54
So here's some of the guiding principles for the for the group that did the 400 N project, they thought that our intersections and 01:57:02
our infrastructure should foster a greater sense of identity. 01:57:07
Greater sense of place. 01:57:13
They should provide wider sidewalks. We should incorporate extended curbs to increase safety and to reduce car speeds, and also to 01:57:16
limit the distance that people, pedestrians need to travel from one side of the street to the other. That we should use color and 01:57:23
design elements to to inform how people use the infrastructure. 01:57:30
And of course, enhance our green space to provide unique urban spaces, especially along the trails. So it's not always just about 01:57:39
the destination that we're trying to get to, It's about having a fun and interesting walk or bicycle ride on the way to your 01:57:45
destinations. 01:57:51
Here's some one of the elements that they recommended is painted crossings and they're these can be there's a million ways to do 01:57:58
these different cities do these differently but something that kind of highlights who we are our identity maybe even our history 01:58:04
as we mentioned earlier and and this our our brand as as Vineyard. 01:58:10
Here's some SketchUp models that they did. 01:58:17
1 of the recommendations was a pedestrian bridge over the railroad at 400 N That's an area that is lacking connectivity big time 01:58:20
that that bifurcation that's caused by the by the railroad is is really accentuated in this region and having some way or form of 01:58:28
getting from I guess West of the near to east vineyard would would be really good. And here's some branding that that could be 01:58:35
done. 01:58:43
Actually, can I make a comment on that? So apparently the the Alpine school district they discussed eliminating buses from. 01:58:51
They are okay. So and that's something multiple residents actually asked me to bring up was the fact that individuals that live. 01:59:02
Without having to walk on these other roads because I can't think of one parent that wants their kids walking on that Interchange 01:59:41
Rd. So yeah, that's part of their safe route right now is your connector or the Center St. overpass. Yeah, I kindergartener. I 01:59:46
can't imagine that, Yeah. 01:59:52
There's a lot of reasons to want to make this connection, but I love it. Approved. Yeah. No, we loved it too. We loved it too. And 01:59:59
that that that's a whole. And to do that right, we have to work with the railroad. 02:00:05
Yeah, you should. 02:00:19
They say that in the very least because right now we don't have anything that is a clear and permitted access way Their their 02:00:21
thought was this is an alternative crossing that in the rallies has a little what we call this like a. 02:00:29
Now the language here and I agree. Crossing yeah. 02:00:37
Curiosity. 02:00:42
OK, I was gonna say, like, what are the chances of getting in that grade? Because it's way easier to cross and actually people are 02:00:44
only accurate, more likely to use it. Yeah, it'd be cool. Yeah, I think that's what they're going for is not a vehicular, but just 02:00:49
a pedestrian. 02:00:53
Parents volunteer across the garden. 02:00:59
Yeah. 02:01:04
So here's the part that they highlighted about the trail on the east side of the railroad. 02:01:09
So, So what are my other pictures? I think I might have got my pictures romance up here. I know it's a little further on. Anyways, 02:01:18
this slide and some of the other sides, we'll kind of highlight the the interesting things that you can see along the trail and 02:01:25
what we'll we'll get to a little more of that later. Protecting intersections, the protection intersection is basically a design 02:01:32
that incorporates like physical barriers between turning and moving vehicles. 02:01:40
And and cyclists and pedestrians. It's designed to allow Panestians and cyclists to be seen by by moving vehicles and to have 02:01:48
spaces actually within the roadway, but are safe spaces where they can basically have refuge and wait for safe opportunities to 02:01:55
cross and have clear visibility. So I think that would be great if we, if we can incorporate some of these these elements, there's 02:02:03
not just one single way to do a protected. 02:02:10
Intersection. 02:02:18
I think there's also Was it called a dedicated intersection that incorporates. 02:02:19
Not as expensive elements like this because these are a lot of permanent infrastructural elements, but there are other things that 02:02:25
we could do. 02:02:29
With more movable objects that would provide a lot of the same features, but so there's there's options there. So I think the 02:02:34
proposition was to do this at 400 and No Road and that 710 E. 02:02:41
So here's a design concept from them for motor and 400. 02:02:49
This is Edgewater Townhomes crossing over into the yard. 02:02:55
This one is at 400, but they also provided a very similar thing at. 02:03:03
At 4:00, at 7:10, I think they, I might have missed putting it in here, but it's the very same thing, yeah, that they wanted to do 02:03:08
at 710 and 400. 02:03:12
So this was another interesting feature of the project. So this, this is kind of a feature that would be incorporated in the yard. 02:03:22
B, it's it's a walkway, it's like an interesting aesthetic Greenway that would go through the yard. B obviously would have would 02:03:30
have a lot of conversations with the property owners who are in the room for something like this. But this is an idea that they 02:03:37
that they came up with to provide greenery to provide. 02:03:45
Easier access, safer access throughout the RB and to the Edgewater Townhomes. 02:03:52
And of course they would have design elements that would make the rock interesting and fun to to experience. 02:03:59
They would have elements such as this. These aren't the only things that you could do there, but they're fun and they they provide 02:04:08
an interesting element, urban design element. 02:04:13
Can we put those right outside about time? 02:04:22
So. 02:04:24
I don't see why not. 02:04:26
Yeah, yeah. So it's just the concept of enhancing the the urban environment to be more welcoming and and safe. So here's the I 02:04:30
didn't forget to include it. So this is the the treatment that they proposed at 710 and 400. 02:04:37
It's another angle. 02:04:46
So they finished their project by asking why we get her in design. Urban design catalyzes social cohesion. It provides positive 02:04:48
interactions with the landscape and build social capital. It's critical to human health and it can increase our quality of life 02:04:56
and give meaning and depth to our our social spaces. And it can provide activities and things for us to see along our our trips. 02:05:03
There's a few other recommendations. Vineyard Transit Service expansion along the road. 02:05:11
There will be bus stops. 02:05:20
There's already a bus route now along the road and and stops along along that can increase. We can have a potential BLT system in 02:05:21
the future along the road. So there will be an increased ridership with all the new development that is going on. And so we should 02:05:28
begin to plan accordingly because transit will become an even more real realistic way of getting around in and in and out of 02:05:35
vineyard. 02:05:42
And then this one, This one was a great effect. This is more of a, you know, thinking pragmatically and thinking in public works 02:05:52
worth his mind. Snow removal of separated bike lanes Of the separated bike lanes, The language should facilitate snow removal. 02:05:59
There's a lot of different vehicles that can be used or retrofitted to allow for easier snow removal, and we should provide space 02:06:06
outside of those lanes to store any of that snow. 02:06:13
And then? 02:06:21
They showed us a few of the of the machines of vehicles that Salt Lake City is using. These are called Kabuto vehicles. I've never 02:06:22
heard of them. Here we go. 02:06:29
And then I think this is the last one on street parking. 02:06:37
The purpose of having on street parking is that it provides that physical barrier between cars and active transport. It can be 02:06:42
used to slow the speed of moving vehicles and it will provide parking for the additional residential and commercial development 02:06:49
and it can be used if we decide to. 02:06:56
Charge for the parking at A at a fair market price. It can be the source of revenue for the city and. 02:07:05
These are the amount of parking spaces that each of the projects were proposing along the road. So the median with the parking was 02:07:13
proposing 75 new spaces, and then the road diet design was proposing 162 new spaces because it provided bike lanes not just down 02:07:19
the middle of the road, but on both sides of the road. 02:07:25
And then they went through a few zoning code changes. Basically what they're saying is that we should amend our RMU code to 02:07:33
provide more open space and to reduce the parking requirements per per uses in within the RMU. 02:07:41
So here's a summary of it all, and I think I'm done. 02:07:51
They they did a really good project. They're really good to to work with. I think David Simpson was a really informed planner. 02:07:55
He's been both practitioner and now a professor and we hope that we can continue working with them in the future because they 02:08:00
provide really good insights and products so. 02:08:05
So my question I guess is just. 02:08:12
How come they're not presenting it to us? They're semester is over. 02:08:16
Done on the 20th of April. And the reason I ask is I know that in the past these kind of studies have been presented before so. 02:08:22
Yeah, they can know the Bike Advisory Commission and we were supposed to have them in the Planning Commission, the the, the week 02:08:31
after, but we have to cancel the Planning Commission. So they weren't able to come. Got it? OK, Yeah. Just because in the future, 02:08:37
I think it's it's fun having them here to present it. It's good. That's a good part of the experience for them too. So what if 02:08:43
anything is already in the works for the 400 N Mill Rd. intersection? 02:08:49
Because like, if if if someone lives in Lincoln Square and wanted to go to Panda Express with their five year old, they're going 02:08:57
to hop in a car even though it's less than 1/4 mile away. So like, what? What's already in the plan, if anything? 02:09:04
That seem so. OK so. 02:09:13
OK. So the 400 N intersection on that we have on our capital project West in terms of to for study and and excuse me design and 02:09:19
something funding in for potential or partial for a traffic traffic signal. So after the estimates crossings on there so we 02:09:28
recognize that that Aaron Jackson specifically when 400 N connects into Geneva. 02:09:37
Over here, very high volume type intersection. 02:09:47
So I can't tell you the data when that would that would happen since it's all the continues on budgets as well. 02:09:53
I think that would be a great communication piece to let people know on Facebook and stuff that this is already being talked about 02:09:59
because a lot of people are concerned. So we've talked about how to get engagement, let people know what's happening, but we could 02:10:05
be proactive there so they know this is. 02:10:10
The priority. 02:10:16
All right. 02:10:22
Well, thank you, Brian. I guess we'll move on to item 5.4. 02:10:25
Thank you. 02:10:33
Site plan minor amendments. So Morgan, you'll be presenting on this again. One more another work session item. 02:10:35
We have any requests for outdoor dining. The process right now requires going through the Planning Commission, getting the site 02:10:49
plan, landscape plan, you know the elevations of those things that. 02:10:55
And then they go before. 02:11:02
For like two or three others. So Mr. here is showing downtime. They just added on and they're really nice and So what we require. 02:11:10
So the process is basically to submit right now you go to ERC, we at staff level, we do a ton of just making sure like the make 02:11:18
making sure that the sidewalk system is connected that they're not taking out parking, that they're not adding interior square 02:11:25
footage. So like the like what we already doing with the DRC we feel like is is sufficient. 02:11:33
A lot of cities take like a minor site plan and they allow those to be approved on administrative level. And so our suggestion is 02:11:40
that if it's true minor they're adding seating, maybe some some fencing, they might do a roof extension, but they're not adding 02:11:48
interior square footage. It does help the process to to split it off of what a standard site plan amendment is, which requires a 02:11:55
high fee, requires coming through all this and if we did what's called a site plan minor application. 02:12:02
We would have some criteria it would still provide the director of the ability to kick it back up to Planning Commission if it 02:12:10
seemed more complex than what it is. But I think how we have a written is like under 2000 square feet can add the, you can't add 02:12:16
interior square footage. You need to maintain ADA all the building standards. So we and the architecture needs to blend in with 02:12:23
what's already in place. We feel like that that that would actually help with with several these people that are considered 02:12:29
sitting there can make it. 02:12:36
Just from a customer service standpoint really quick and it's something we could review most of that material just in house 02:12:43
through through a building from that, but that's that's how staff and suggestion we know that does take away you know so some of 02:12:49
these from your review. So it does kind of affect you but we want to know how if you're if you're okay with. 02:12:55
Delegating that authority to staff to do the minors. 02:13:02
11 immediate thought I had is I mean anything that. 02:13:07
Work, you know, more than once as an issue, then we could, you know, see if that's something that we needed to take back it. 02:13:44
And stop being an administrative action and run it through the whole process. But I don't see any major pitfalls. I just think the 02:13:52
awareness and accountability from just reporting out publicly would be helpful. 02:13:58
For outdoors being like this, for the set back distance, are we measuring it from the structure or is it going to be from whatever 02:14:05
the possible overhang is or fencing of the building? Yeah. So like in this type of situation, there's not the the only setbacks 02:14:13
that apply to the RMU right now that that's the, this whole district that we've been looking at is off of the road type. So 02:14:20
there's a local, a collector and a major arterial. And so I think it goes 25/20/15. 02:14:28
You need against to, but right now the army doesn't have. 02:15:10
Outside of like the street set back there's there's no like between setbacks other than what building code would afford like. 02:15:12
Looking at this picture here, my only concern would be there is I can imagine if you had two wheelchairs going at the same time, 02:15:17
it's going to be tough for them. So if we don't have just some sort of minimum, when you have groups of people, you're going to 02:15:22
have a situation where somebody is going into the road. 02:15:27
Like this. So just something I think we should keep in mind as we approve these that we can facilitate the travel of everybody. 02:15:33
Fire sidewalks and. 02:16:48
I assume that this one that you brought to us before that we talked about is one you would have brought to the Planning Commission 02:16:50
or do you think that's one he would have just done the staff level? 02:16:54
Because not much really changed but when we went to Planning Commission and we worked with them probably two or three meetings 02:17:01
with the DRC and so we we've added really well just from like a staff standpoint. But yeah this is one we we would we would have 02:17:06
felt comfortable doing through an administrative level. 02:17:12
So we look at everything like the lighting, are you taking lighting off the building, you know is there any anything from ADA 02:17:19
George went through this really carefully and made sure like that the 88 requirements, but there were some I remember on this one 02:17:24
some judgment calls too like how far forward do you bring the? 02:17:30
The fence versus like making a flush with the front. So I mean that's what we would be losing potentially is the input on that. 02:17:37
Yeah, we're honestly just so you know, like we won't be upset if you don't feel. We just felt like we've received a lot of 02:17:44
questions and there were concerns about having to do like a full process from the the applicant side. If you guys want, we can 02:17:48
keep it the same. 02:17:53
Applicant standpoint like I think that's that's important. I mean if people want to do business with the city, we want to be easy 02:18:00
to work with, very clear and efficient. I think that's that's very important. So, so kind of with this one in particular, I 02:18:05
remember going through this in the way I remember it is their original plan was to go all the way out to the street and that's how 02:18:09
it was presented to us. 02:18:14
So I think that maybe if there are some that are potentially blocking pedestrian access, maybe that's something that needs to come 02:18:20
to the Planning Commission. But if it's something that's just like they're adding on, it's not affecting anything Like absolutely. 02:18:27
Like, yeah, yeah, that would be good. 02:18:34
Yeah, 'cause I mean if it's allowing for. 02:18:44
88 Requirements for pedestrians on sidewalks like. 02:18:47
I'm all for outdoor seating. 02:18:51
Yeah. And what triggered them having to go through the process was that the fencing altering the the sidewalk and the extension 02:18:54
off the off the roof line. Well and there was a little unique compared to some of the other locations because they had to have 02:19:00
more strict fencing and signage because of alcohol services versus some other locations. The other restaurants there they all want 02:19:06
to do on the exact same thing as well. That's the other thing too is like what whatever precedent is that good or bad, I mean 02:19:11
we'll see that. 02:19:17
Yeah, you can't say no to me if you said yesterday. 02:19:24
Well, and it's doing well too. I mean if you go that Thursday, Friday, Saturday night and then about time is pretty slammed and 02:19:27
then all those restaurants are killing it right now. So I think where they can add capacity for more seating to help them, I think 02:19:32
that's what we want to, I think it just activates that area so. 02:19:37
It's way less loud than inside that place. 02:19:45
I just can I can I add that? 02:19:49
Unless it's done administration, I shouldn't say it that way. If it's done through Planning Commission, they have to provide a 02:19:54
full site plan amendment application, which can can get expensive because they need to provide the site plan document, they need 02:20:00
to provide elevations, they need to provide a landscaping document. If any of the landscaping is changing, yeah, that's that's 02:20:05
what makes it difficult. And it's I guess it scared some people away that that we're coming forward with cool proposals that like 02:20:11
this is too much and like. 02:20:17
I don't know that it's worth it at that point, you know. So is there a way to address that? Is there a way that they can still 02:20:23
have their proposal reviewed by the Planning Commission? 02:20:28
With less deliverables required. 02:20:33
Whatever, you guys, whatever. I guess if I go back what you're saying, Brian? 02:20:39
If they do it at a staff level, they still have to produce some deliverable to communicate what their intent is to record that 02:20:45
right, to have a paper trail of what they're proposing, what you're proving. So I don't think that whether we approve, whether we 02:20:51
review it and approve it or you guys at the staff level. 02:20:58
The deliverables should be the same. 02:21:05
I the deliverables shouldn't be any more stringent to bring it to us and we can make the deliverables. So for maybe it's instead 02:21:08
of just doing an administrative process, it's creating a minor site plan application. So there's like a category and then the 02:21:15
requirements aren't the full set of like photometrics, you know? 02:21:22
Yeah, it's civil engineers to to do it. 02:21:30
Yeah, because whatever they would present to you to be able to review and approve it, I would think would be sufficient for the 02:21:33
Commission to review and approve as well. And if they have to submit a a building permit work which coming off the the roof they 02:21:40
have to submit some details. But what have decent plans, well, I guess so before all they're doing is adding tables. 02:21:47
Like a like a survey. And then we asked them like like you know, customer service standpoint like was it, did you have the was an 02:22:26
arduous process that take forever for staff nice to you. Like there's a lot of those kind of things. I never saw the results of 02:22:33
it, but they they apparently went back and I think did some sort of a survey on. So it's like a full year. So there's probably 02:22:40
some really great data out there, but I've never seen that. Well, the reason I ask is like sometimes it feels like we're asking. 02:22:47
I'm making wait till after all the work sessions. Yeah, happy. 02:23:30
That, that's all I had. I mean if you guys have any more comments where we're not like 100% on the administrative aspect, but I 02:23:37
might kind of write it up both ways. But if anything we're going to look at adding the application minor site plan amendment and 02:23:42
then maybe have, So we're still able to scrutinize it, but more watered down things that like you would get just through like a 02:23:47
basic billing from an application. 02:23:53
Sounds good. 02:24:00
OK. Thanks. Any other, no other comments on that? OK. 02:24:04
All right then let's move into Commission members reports and ex parte discussion disclosure. Does any do any of our. 02:24:09
Commissioners have anything they wish to disclose on the bike commit committee. It's Bike Month right now. City's got a lot of 02:24:18
different things going on and it all will all kind of culminate with the Vineyard days. Encouraged to bike there if you can. 02:24:25
You'll probably get in and out a lot quicker than if you drive there, so it's a good incentive that way. But yeah, look for the 02:24:32
social media posts on the remaining last couple weeks and the activities that are going on. 02:24:38
We've been having meetings about the Central corridor plan, which is the wetlands essentially and we're just working on picking 02:24:47
out. 02:24:51
A consultant. 02:24:57
To design that and that's going to be really cool. 02:25:00
I have a couple things. One, we've talked with staff about the possibility whether. 02:25:05
The development services is now located at the Utah Valley Home Builders Association building. There is a large room there that 02:25:14
can accommodate more people. 02:25:19
And there's a desire from staff standpoint to try one of our Planning Commission meetings over there to see how it would work. 02:25:26
So that when we have occasionally we have an audience here, we have a hot topic and we do get people that come out. 02:25:33
And so there there's a, there's a desire to do kind of a test run. And so I think, I think that would be. 02:25:42
An important thing to do. 02:25:49
We probably need to figure out the like audio, visual stuff before we did that. I don't know if we have adequate microphones and 02:25:52
everything. 02:25:55
And the recording software and all that, but we can look into it alright. Whenever you guys feel ready then I think be OK to to 02:26:00
try that out. 02:26:04
OK. 02:26:11
The other thing I will disclose is that we are on a personal note we have our house is now on the market as of today. 02:26:12
And so we are, we are taking steps to to be moving out of the community. So I will probably no longer be able to serve on the the 02:26:24
Planning Commission. 02:26:30
Much more than probably another meeting or two, depending on schedule this summer, but. 02:26:37
So we'll need to. 02:26:43
Pick a new Planning Commission chair and I don't know what that how that necessarily works but yeah, we can throw it on the next 02:26:46
throw it on the next agenda. But just on a personal note, this being on the the Commission has been definitely the highlight for 02:26:52
me living in this community and. 02:26:58
So and and the hardest thing probably to to to leave so I've really enjoyed serving with all of you guys and it's it's I'm I'm 02:27:06
still really excited about the the future of of Vineyard and. 02:27:13
Maybe I'll, maybe I'll have to come back to our meetings, you know? 02:27:20
Work on the other side of the podium a little bit. 02:27:24
But but yeah so that's that's kind of me on a personal note one other little thing too that I wanted to share just I I needed to 02:27:28
actually probably bring some some Flyers to city offices but our there's a there's a cool event happening in Spanish Fork this 02:27:35
weekend So my my business were involved in a pro bono basis with the GAIL Halverson foundation. So GAIL Halverson the Candy bomber 02:27:41
that in World War 2 dropped candy into Germany and. 02:27:48
We work with a foundation for a long time that's it's been raising money to build a museum and a facility to honor GAIL and to 02:27:56
inspire the next generation of of people to to have a spirit of service and and there's a aviation education component. So anyway 02:28:03
they're having a big event on Saturday that's free to the public where they're going to have some cool airplanes. They're going to 02:28:10
do a candy drop and try to educate the community about it so. 02:28:17
And you know, you go, you might see me and. 02:28:26
Seeing my friends there, but it's a cool event that they're trying to get some community support for, so I thought I'd share that 02:28:29
as well. 02:28:33
Spanish Fork Airport. 02:28:37
No. 02:28:41
Anyway. 02:28:43
Those are all my disclosures today. Well, Jeff. 02:28:44
That's Thanks man. You're leaving? 02:28:49
I guarantee you are hard to replace. So you've done so much seriously from I did. I remember you coming in six years ago when I 02:28:52
when I had, when we worked for the old building when I first started and you introduced you up to me and said I just want to 02:28:58
volunteer. I want to you know put my my skills to to service for vendors and you've you've kept that up the whole time and really 02:29:04
appreciate everything you've done. It's it's been a fun journey and to see the city develop with you you've been just a major 02:29:09
component of that. 02:29:15
Thank you someone else. You have to wear the Design Nerd Hat. 02:29:22
Get the architecture license really quick. You got them off the requirement. 02:29:26
Thanks. Yeah. Any other staff reports or things that not sure? 02:29:37
So from the engineering just you may have seen that 800 N in your connector slash over Main Street has put up some traffic control 02:29:42
devices contractors out there doing some work. 02:29:49
Sorry. 02:30:33
That science can disappear really fast. 02:30:36
Now but. 02:30:39
Heads up on that. So we're going to be attending a pre construction meeting on Friday morning with a contractor to kind of 02:30:42
solidify that on the dates. Unfortunately that's a lot. You know the construction economy is good. Unfortunately it takes a little 02:30:50
bit more pushing to get certain things done. For example, the signal material has to get powder coated before it gets installed 02:30:58
and so forth. And so we're working diligently with those suppliers and so forth to move forward. 02:31:05
You got has been very good about keeping the materials that we need. 02:31:13
Set aside for us to get that going as well, the plan the and then we anticipate getting the front vineyard connector. 02:31:17
Project. 02:31:27
Moving forward probably mid late summer with the construction that goes out for construction bids and so forth. And then the 02:31:29
problem not overpass over the vineyard connectors, we're working on some internal, some internal designs, some designs, excuse me, 02:31:35
in order to come up with a Feng shui. 02:31:41
Perfect medium in terms of. 02:31:48
Size and usage of about also. 02:31:53
The city of today we went into a pre construction inspection for the tank or a tank project for the storm water to ensure storm 02:31:58
water our runoffs are being protected. So that being said you know the water tank qualities is moving forward. 02:32:07
But also that the city is making sure that we take the proper precautions and saying that saying the standard in the bar to ensure 02:32:17
that when we do projects, city projects that it's being done to the T in terms of following rules and regulations as well. The 02:32:24
last last thing I want to say is we have a new face here in the audience 1 audience. So we have Emily the guitar though who's a 02:32:31
new staff engineer she's she, this is her second week here with us at City Vineyard. She comes from BYU. She majors in civil 02:32:38
engineering so. 02:32:45
But we're not landscape architect. 02:32:53
OK, there we go. But also majors she comes, she has families. Her father her her and her uncle are both civil engineers. So you 02:32:56
even bigger bonus her her her interest really lies and lies in water resources and sustainability, environmental and environmental 02:33:04
sciences and engineering as well. So really brings to the city a lot of great strengths to you know, kind of offset my destroy all 02:33:12
the trees and pay everything concrete type mentality. 02:33:20
That's that's what I'm here for. And we're glad she's here, yeah. 02:33:28
OK. Thank you. Any other questions for staff? 02:33:36
OK, and we are adjourned. 02:33:39
Thank you. 02:33:42
I always think he's a short agenda. 02:33:45

All right. Welcome, everybody. Today is May 18th, and this is the Vineyard Planning Commission. I will give an invocation. 00:00:02
Heavenly Father, we thankful that we could be here today to discuss things for our city. We're so thankful for this city, this 00:00:13
place that we live. We're thankful for the effort that everyone puts forward to make this a great place to live. Please bless 00:00:17
those that. 00:00:22
That are serving our community whether they be leaders or police force or just anybody in general that they'll be blessed. Help us 00:00:28
to know what would be best for our city. We lofty and we say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 00:00:34
All right. Moving to an open session. Do we have any comments from the public? 00:00:42
If not, then we'll move right into the Minutes for review and approval. 00:00:49
For March 16th 3.1. Is anybody taking a look at that or? 00:00:56
I wanted to make a motion. 00:01:02
Looked to be OK to me. OK, Do you wanna make a motion? 00:01:04
Sure. I'll make a motion that we approve the minutes of March 16th as presented. All right. Thank you. All right, thanks, Anthony. 00:01:08
All in favour. Aye, aye. All right. Moving to public hearing item 4.1. So, Bryce, if you could on this one. This is in regards to 00:01:17
the nitrogen Geneva partial of 27 acres or so that's off in Geneva Rd. City has interest in seeing something that's not. 00:01:26
We had some the the owner got a new e-mail address, so there was a lot of correspondence that didn't go back and forth. So we're 00:02:09
running in good effort work with them. So it's on now. Our request is that you officially open a public hearing allow people 00:02:15
military, but I'll allow them to speak if they want and don't close it Then just then before you move to the next item continue it 00:02:21
to. I think it's July 6th planning question. OK, cool. Jeff Knighton is here. So I'm going to let him take over from this point. 00:02:27
We just got to item 4.1. 00:02:34
We're about to open up the public, the public hearing for the Geneva nitrogen plant. 00:02:41
Yes, thank you, Bryce. Dealing with traffic and I make a motion to open a public hearing. I'll second that. 00:02:46
All in favor of the motion, aye? 00:02:54
We are now in a public hearing. 00:02:59
And I will also make a motion that we continue this public hearing to the July 6/20/22 Planning Commission meeting. 00:03:02
Do I have a second? 00:03:11
All in favor, aye. 00:03:13
Motion passes. 00:03:17
OK, so that's that takes care of 4.1 basically. Wait, we just continue that? 00:03:21
OK. So then item 5.1, work session, general plan, review of the heritage and cultural resources. So Brian? 00:03:28
We will be presenting on this. That's right, this is a work session, so no vote or action will be taken. 00:03:37
And if I could, just before Brian starts, yesterday we talked in in another meeting about how important it might be for there to 00:03:44
be some clarity about why did Vineyard get started as a community, how that came about, what was the incentive behind it. I don't 00:03:52
know if if you wanted me to take a few minutes and and read out of the Heritage book how that came about or if we should do that 00:03:59
in another time. 00:04:06
Either way, Brian, do you want to and what would be the right placement for that with your presentation? 00:04:17
Just wondering more because this is heritage item, can you can you give a few words on that? 00:04:23
Sure. 00:04:32
I think so. The structure of my presentation is to talk about a little bit about what a general plan is, why we're updating it, 00:04:37
why that matters, then I'm going to go into. 00:04:45
Some community engagement initiatives that we've done in the past. So we'll have a discussion about moving forward with some 00:04:55
community community engagement efforts to update this section of the plan. So I think I think it's, it's great if you want to give 00:05:00
us a little bit of background. 00:05:05
So that it's at least on the record again. Sure. How Vineyard came about, what was its purpose, how did, how was it formulated, 00:05:11
and so on. I'm getting my information out of this book that a lot of us have seen called Our Vineyard Heritage. It was written 00:05:19
published in about 2000, I think if I'm not mistaken, but it covered the 1st 100 years of Vineyards existence up until about the 00:05:28
latter part of the 1990s. But I thought I would just read a few of the articles here. I'm starting on page. 00:05:36
72 in the section called incorporation. 00:05:45
And I think it might be useful for us to because in our earlier discussion it was we thought. 00:05:50
You know what has caused Vineyard to have the culture that it has? What? How did it start? Every place has its story, every city 00:05:57
has its beginnings, and sometimes those beginnings carry over into even how we make decisions later. So I thought I would just 00:06:04
read a little bit of this so that you can get a feel for what caused this city to to to be. First of all, there was a feeling by 00:06:11
148 residents. 00:06:19
Who were here, that they were being encroached upon by neighboring cities? Arm and Provo, primarily and a little bit Linden, but 00:06:26
primarily Orman, provoke, and they were concerned that they would be taken over by those cities that were already incorporated and 00:06:32
already functioning. 00:06:39
The citizens got together in 1972, So 50 years ago, 1972, they got together and made a proposal to Geneva steel. At the time it 00:06:47
was. 00:06:52
United States Steel to incorporate Vineyard. 00:06:57
And the steel company felt that that was not necessary at the time. 00:07:02
But in 1980? 00:07:07
There was a law passed in Utah State legislature, a tax law, that basically required corporations or companies in unincorporated 00:07:09
areas to operate within an existing city limit. 00:07:17
When they were going to be re managed that is bought by someone else or as they change management and that's exactly what was 00:07:26
occurring with the United States Steel in 1980 was they were being bought by Geneva Steel. 00:07:33
So the tax law required the company to be within an incorporated city limit, and they weren't. They were within the county limits. 00:07:41
And so it got vineyards attention again and and the residents went back to to Geneva Steel and made a petition to incorporate and 00:07:51
it was approved that there was a process they had to go through. They had to get signatures. Out of the 148 residents, 140 of them 00:07:59
said yes. There were a few that dissented and they took that to then the county Commission over a period of a couple of years and 00:08:08
it was debated back and forth. There were some opposition from Orem. The book says that. 00:08:16
ARM officials questioned whether it was appropriate to place a town between Orem and the lake. 00:08:25
How could such a city support its infrastructure? Would ARM have a future say in environmental issues? And so on? 00:08:32
But the City of Vineyard wanted to have its own independence. So it began with an independence feeling. They didn't want to be 00:08:41
managed by larger cities, so with 148 citizens, they were incorporated. It was approved in May of 1989. 00:08:49
And there's some really cool quotes in this book from the first mayor, mayor, ruling gammon. 00:08:58
But it was basically saying they wanted to keep the culture of their community. They wanted to, they wanted people to understand 00:09:05
this as an agricultural community and they wanted people to be able to have land if they wanted to have land. And they could only 00:09:13
protect that if they incorporated and then manage that process. As the years came along, there was some concern for over 00:09:21
development. Well, maybe they were being prophetic in in terms of some of the things that people were seeing. 00:09:29
But um. 00:09:37
I I just think it's important for us to remember that there was a a very small core group of people who saw the vision to keep the 00:09:39
city independent, keep the town independent from the larger neighboring cities. Especially because Orem wanted to use the western 00:09:46
part of Orem to kind of dump a lot of the things that they didn't want to have up on the bench. And the city could see that coming 00:09:54
and said no. 00:10:01
We're going to keep our land pristine, clean, pure and keep it for the desires of the residents. So there's a feeling of 00:10:09
independence that they wanted to be and and and retain their independence. They wanted to retain a culture that spoke about the 00:10:17
people who first developed this area and protected it and created it and then developed it. 00:10:24
And they wanted to develop a source of revenue. Geneva Steel, at the time, was the only source of revenue. And it's interesting 00:10:33
that when Geneva, excuse me, when Vineyard put his first city budget together in 1990, they wanted a budget of $80,000, there was 00:10:40
no money because the county had already taken it away for that tax year. And so they went to Geneva Steel and asked for a loan of 00:10:48
$50,000 to operate the city. 00:10:56
The Geneva Steel gave them $15,000. 00:11:03
And they ran the city for the first year until they started generating their own tax and pretty soon they got $140,000 from the 00:11:08
tax revenue and then it built. And they, the city even reduced property taxes by 30%, which wouldn't that be a creative idea, 00:11:15
reduce the the property taxes by 30% because they had so much money, they just didn't know what to do with it. So anyway, I'll 00:11:22
leave it there, but I just thought it would be good to just remember. 00:11:30
From whence we come, why Vineyard existed in the 1st place, the hard fight that was fought by the the first residents here and. 00:11:37
I think it carries on into who we are today, a fairly independent community, the one that has a bright future and trying to 00:11:50
protect its growth and its future. So anyway, thank you for allowing me that. Yeah. Thank you, Tim. 00:11:56
You're welcome. Thanks for that. That was really awesome. 00:12:03
So this presentation is a continuation of the discussion that we had in the April 20th 22 Planning Commission meeting where we're 00:12:07
talking about updating the heritage element or the heritage chapter of the General Plan. 00:12:14
I had provided red lines and found a kind of a draft of the revisions that were made-up to this point and they were presented to 00:12:22
the Commission and basically the conversation was continued. We wanted to allow more time to get feedback on the red lines, but 00:12:30
before we before we get to that conversation, we decided that it might be good to have a conversation with us updating the general 00:12:38
plan. 00:12:45
Let's touch on what a General Plan is, what it isn't, and this provides some clarifying information because it's it's always good 00:12:53
with the general plan being a document that we refer to all the time, constantly. We want to make sure that we understand its 00:13:00
legal authorities and and how it can serve to to benefit our planning process. 00:13:08
Oops, there we go. 00:13:17
OK, so I got some a few references from the state code. 00:13:21
Each municipality shall prepare and adopt A comprehensive long range General plan for President and future names of the 00:13:25
municipality, growth and development of all or any part of the land within the municipality. 00:13:32
This plan needs to articulate the existing and desired conditions of the community as well as future land use and transportation 00:13:39
corridors. 00:13:43
The General Plan may provide for some of the following things for health, general welfare, safety, moderate income, housing, 00:13:50
economic development, future land use, historic preservation, and and many more. 00:13:57
This part of the code helps to clarify, I guess. I'll just see that it says the general plan is an advisory guide for land use 00:14:06
decision. Unless otherwise stated by local ordinance, General plan is only an advisory is only advisory in nature. 00:14:15
In many cases, the municipalities did not need to follow the General Plan. 00:14:24
So the general plan is it's a living breathing document. It's a document that can change, but it's a document that establishes 00:14:30
kind of like a ground basis for where we want to move as a community. It provides the flexibility, it gives cities the flexibility 00:14:37
of of making decisions that are sometimes outside of our general plan. But it is kind of that guidepost and so recent decisions, 00:14:44
some some decisions have been recently in the city that. 00:14:51
I guess some would argue that we're not in line with the general plan. 00:14:59
And others would argue that it wasn't in line with the Gentle Plan. But we wanted this to establish that the drone plan is is a 00:15:04
guiding document. Sometimes we can go we are legally authorized to go outside of the general plan if we if we think that's in the 00:15:10
best interest of the community. 00:15:15
Anyways, without a general plan like me does not have a long range vision, goals or strategies to guide and our growth and 00:15:23
development. So Brian, if you could just go back to that last slide and in a positive way to say that last statement is with a 00:15:31
general plan, a community has a long range vision enrolled because I think that's what it does for us. It gives us that vision, 00:15:38
the goals and the strategies. 00:15:45
Not not laws, but vision, goals and strategies, yeah. And I think it's fair to say that most of the time we follow the job plan. 00:15:52
We do our best to stick to the general plan as much as we can. That's the purpose of doing these updates. And I think that's why 00:15:59
the state encourages regular updating and referencing of the general plan. 00:16:05
Um, very important this up to me this afternoon. The general plan serves as a necessary and effective budgeting document. We 00:16:17
actually can't have a lot of our infrastructure. We can't build or construct our infrastructure unless it's it's shown on the 00:16:23
general plan like our open spaces, our parks, our utilities like all that stuff has to be shown and reflecting the general plan 00:16:29
for you to move forward with that. 00:16:36
Big impacts could be coming. 00:17:13
Kind of a companion document to the general plan. And so you'll see that General plan is a big overarching one and you have a lot 00:17:48
of like master plans and things that are companion dog documents to that. But yeah, you're absolutely right. 00:17:53
Right. So, yeah, we wanted to provide this level of information that perhaps in the future after we've made our amendments and 00:18:00
established our our general plan that sometimes it might go at least in interpretation, it might go against the general plan. And 00:18:07
and we shouldn't always expect the general plan to be followed to the team. We do our best to follow it, follow it, but it does 00:18:14
have that flexibility. 00:18:22
Is all I want to say. 00:18:29
OK. It's important to update the general plan. So here we are. 00:18:34
Turned off accidentally. Sorry. 00:18:39
And here's some of the reasons why it's important to keep your general Plan updated. It helps us to understand significant changes 00:18:41
in the community as time goes by. It helps us to identify missing elements in the in our General Plan. 00:18:47
This year the state is changing a few, a few adding a few requirements of things that need to be updated in the general plan. 00:18:55
We need to update our modern income housing element in our general plan. Now we also need to provide an A section of the general 00:19:04
plan that talks about our event includes us a station area plan for permanent transit infrastructure. So cities that have like a 00:19:12
front runner station now they need to provide a station area plan for the adjacent. 00:19:20
Area around that station and how that's going to function best for people in the community. It helps us to identify conflicts in 00:19:28
the plan and in our municipal ordinances or if there's any discrepancies. It helps to establish accuracy with the zoning map and 00:19:36
of course it helps us to move forward in a in a positive direction as as our community grows. 00:19:44
Is there a requirement to do it? What says regularly, so no defined time. You don't have to do it every five years or something. 00:19:53
Yeah, I we switched that in the code. I was looking at state code today. I could not find a set time other than understanding that 00:19:59
the encouragement is to update it regularly. 00:20:05
Yeah. 00:20:12
But when it comes to, there are there is a section when it comes to moderate income housing elements of the General Plan State 00:20:14
Code Section 1098408 requires us to review and report on this topic annually. 00:20:21
Moderate income housing and cities being able to provide affordable housing for people isn't is top on the list for for a lot of 00:20:30
the planning that's going on in the state. And so this year we'll have to provide that report along with a few updates in our 00:20:36
goals and strategies of our general plan by October. So we're we're working on that as as we as we speak. So we'll be touching on 00:20:43
that pretty soon with you guys. 00:20:49
OK. And moving to the heritage portion of this presentation. 00:20:58
Let's chat if if there are any comments on the red lines that were presented last time. If there's anything you guys feel that 00:21:03
needs to be added or taken away or changed, there's an opportunity for you guys to to let us know what you think if you've had the 00:21:08
chance. 00:21:13
So I'll just open up to you guys. Oh, they've had a chance. You've had the chance. 00:21:21
So this discussion will keep going. So if if there are no comments today, we're happy to pick this up in the coming weeks or every 00:21:28
few weeks or every, every Planning Commission. We want to touch on updates to the general plan. So expect this, this competition 00:21:34
to be reoccurring. So, so just a general comment from the Heritage Commission, we feel that there have been some things left out 00:21:41
in the attempt to consolidate and. 00:21:48
You know, minimize wording and and those types of things, but we're not prepared yet to say what those are, just got comments back 00:21:56
from people how about this or how about that? And it was left out. So I'm sensing that there may be more effort to put some things 00:22:04
back in with the with the overall goal of keeping it minimal. So that's about the only thing so far we can report. Yeah, Tim, 00:22:11
would it be helpful to do a similar work session with the Heritage Commission? 00:22:18
Yeah, it could be, surely. 00:22:26
Yeah, if you want to let us know a time we're happy to attend that, OK. Would that be on any on any day, I mean of the week kind 00:22:29
of thing or? 00:22:35
Yeah. Happy. 00:22:43
The other thing, I was going to bring up it and I don't know want to play sick anymore, burden on staff for staff reports and 00:22:46
things like that. But I think anytime there's a project that's coming up or something that we're taking action on if there are. 00:22:52
Applicable parts of the general plan that we should be reviewing as we go along. So like view 2.1 about land use or this about 00:22:59
heritage. I think that would help us keep this top of mind rather than a little more like something that's collecting dust and 00:23:05
then we look at it once a year or whatever it might be that would that would keep a top of mind for every meeting. So you're 00:23:11
saying like heads up before time or even just like so you know item 4.1 today like applicable general plan section. Oh OK, like 00:23:17
like reference. 00:23:22
Get some references on the gender or a staff report or you know it with recommendations and they wouldn't necessarily have to be 00:23:28
with every little thing. But for major projects, I think it's extremely important that we are referencing the general plan for 00:23:34
sure. For sure we can do that. In fact because the general plan is on APDF, we could, we could attach the specific PDF pages of 00:23:40
the general plan to the agenda that way, a quick reference I think that's particularly. 00:23:46
Applicable to the rezone or things like that where we're we're we're stepping outside of the more administrative kind of decisions 00:23:54
you know and where where we need to be. 00:23:59
Conscious of how 5th and general we've been doing the for like rezones and new tax, we've been doing the general plan table so 00:24:04
that that that's in there. If if you want something more at like the front end for a political, what we do is we run through the 00:24:09
general plan all the goals and objectives and we grab the ones that we find are applicable either in a good way or a bad way and 00:24:14
then we try to do like a short analysis on it. 00:24:19
I saw the microphone creeping closer to you. 00:24:25
I agree. 00:24:34
Now. 00:24:36
That would make a good point specifically at least from staff reports that come from us, we'll we'll make sure that they highlight 00:24:40
their goals, the goal, the goals that it's achieving in terms of what like what this particular project is achieving in terms of 00:24:47
from the general plan and specifically the types of goals that the general plans outlining. So this way when you see the Wind 00:24:53
Planning Commission sees the staff report. 00:24:59
They know that we've done I do buildings to ensure that we're abiding to our dining lines being the general plan. 00:25:05
Have you received land use manuals? 00:25:15
Have you ordered the land use manuals for them? 00:25:21
I'm embarrassing him. 00:25:25
Publicly over it, because you all should be receiving land use manuals. They're just books that talk about all the different, you 00:25:27
know, Council Planning Commission. And I found it really helpful because it helps you understand what Planning Commission can do. 00:25:34
So she gave me the reference, She gave me the contact. Amber Radison gave me the contact to the Ombudsman. So I'll be reaching 00:25:40
out. 00:25:47
She still loves me. 00:25:56
One of you would prefer an Audible version of it that we can look see if they have one. I'm not like some audiobook. I think that 00:25:57
would put me something like something I can search more easily. I think that's the benefit of like PDF writing. I don't believe 00:26:06
that they have an ebook version of it, like a locally made book by somebody in Utah. Yeah. 00:26:14
We're looking around and very surprising physical copies because it is a really good book. I honestly, I referenced that book. 00:26:22
To make this presentation. It's really good stuff. I'm in front of this stuff. 00:26:27
So does anybody have any comments on the red lines specifically? 00:26:34
