| Welcome everybody. This is a Vineyard Planning Commission meeting. It is November 29th and it is 6:00. We'll get right into things | 00:00:02 | |
| with Chris giving us. | 00:00:08 | |
| Legend of prayer. | 00:00:15 | |
| I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, | 00:00:22 | |
| indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. | 00:00:28 | |
| Our Father in Heaven, we are very grateful to be gathered together here tonight as a Commission and and with the public and the | 00:00:40 | |
| residents of the city. Please bless us tonight as we do the the work of the public. Bless us as we have this workshop plus us that | 00:00:46 | |
| we can have meaningful and impactful discussions and that we can be guided. And as we work toward strengthening our community, we | 00:00:52 | |
| say things. | 00:00:59 | |
| Jesus Christ. Amen. Amen. Awesome. Thank you so much. All right, we'll move right into a work session. Just so you guys know, this | 00:01:05 | |
| is a special meeting. So we don't have the normal public comment that we do in a normal Planning Commission meeting. This is just | 00:01:10 | |
| a special session. And the things that we're doing here tonight are just work session things, which means that no, nothing | 00:01:16 | |
| officials taking place. We're not voting on anything. We're just kind of trying to hash out some of these things before we have | 00:01:21 | |
| the public hearing that will happen. | 00:01:27 | |
| Next week I believe it is. | 00:01:33 | |
| I will allow for some comments just so that we can try to catch some stuff and. | 00:01:36 | |
| So that when we come to the public hearing, we are ready for it. That way we can move things forward with the developer and we can | 00:01:42 | |
| have things hashed out that need to get hashed out at the public hearing and they have some time to do those things. So that being | 00:01:49 | |
| said, we'll move right into the work session to 2.1, zoning, text amendment, medical and commercial uses. | 00:01:57 | |
| Great. Thank you, Chair and members of the Planning Commission. Thank you for coming. Yep. So we have this stuff right now. So we | 00:02:08 | |
| do have some uses that need to be considered for our code. These are more specifically medical and hospital type uses. We have the | 00:02:17 | |
| Huntsman Cancer Institute that is coming to the city currently under the code. We have commercial which. | 00:02:26 | |
| Just a really broad category and it could kind of fit under that. You felt that would be important just to have the actual use | 00:02:35 | |
| clarified. And so this is the table, you have the full table as part of your staff report. So this is showing for the downtown | 00:02:43 | |
| under the downtown station for hospital. It would be not permitted in the downtown mixed-use. That's the blue that would be a | 00:02:50 | |
| permitted use under the village. | 00:02:57 | |
| General, that's the purple district to the north that would be a permitted use and then the lakefront residential if there's no | 00:03:05 | |
| commercial uses allowed there. | 00:03:10 | |
| At the lakefront commercial, that's like kind of the orange part right adjacent to the lake that that wouldn't be permitted. But | 00:03:14 | |
| underneath that the medical uses, they would be permitted under that. Typically you're just the the General Medical uses are going | 00:03:23 | |
| to have less of a of an impact than like a like a larger hospital. So that would be anything from medical office to. | 00:03:31 | |
| To your medical clinics and then with. | 00:03:40 | |
| Utah Valley University being a play having like the research component and then the University of Utah is also a partner with. | 00:03:44 | |
| The Huntsman Cancer Institute, so that would allow those under the downtown station, the downtown mixed-use and the village | 00:03:56 | |
| general not permitted in the residential area, but in the lakefront commercial. You can go to the next slide please. | 00:04:03 | |
| This is the standard. | 00:04:13 | |
| Zoning district matrix. So these are this is pulled out of that the full matrix is in the staff report. So these are a lot of | 00:04:17 | |
| medical uses and different type of commercial uses that that could fit into those districts. And so the idea was to similarly | 00:04:24 | |
| clarify is, you know, kind of the east side. The idea is to is to do a lot of medical and have it primarily and an employment | 00:04:31 | |
| center with the the university of being right there. | 00:04:38 | |
| The plan is to have kind of academia married with the, with the employment uses that will be there with the, you know, especially | 00:04:45 | |
| the medical uses. And so you can kind of see through the list. We have clinical support housing that's housing that would be | 00:04:52 | |
| catering to people who are, you know, within the hospital or employees that are living on site or or students that, that are on | 00:04:59 | |
| site as part of. | 00:05:06 | |
| Like a hospital or an academia type setting. | 00:05:14 | |
| And so that would be permitted in both the RC and the FOI districts. And we have the commercial indoor permitted for the RC, | 00:05:17 | |
| permitted for the FOI, the commercial output, the recreational outdoor uses that's a conditional use in both the conditional use, | 00:05:24 | |
| just for clarification what that is in Utah basically it could actually use is a a permitted use with standards that you can | 00:05:32 | |
| attach to it. And so if you see things that would provide some. | 00:05:39 | |
| Of a negative impact allows the Planning Commission utilizing the code is kind of the guidance to provide conditions that would | 00:05:47 | |
| help mitigate impacts. We do have golf course use that was shown as a conditional use of both those districts on that east side. | 00:05:54 | |
| There is a lot of of concrete work and I think many of the commissioners have have gone out and done kind of towards the side | 00:06:02 | |
| there had just reviewed. | 00:06:09 | |
| Intensive concrete and so that that would provide kind of a, a surface level use whether or not it happens. It seems like a good | 00:06:47 | |
| use. If there's an area that can't be utilized due to the concrete structures, some of those structures you can do if you were to | 00:06:54 | |
| kind of scrape off the top, you might even be able to utilize it as flooding. So there might be opportunities to to utilize some | 00:07:00 | |
| of those concrete structures. Parking is another news as well. | 00:07:07 | |
| Health and fitness facility. | 00:07:15 | |
| As permitted uses and hotels conditional motels conditional and we have these other medical uses. The nursing care facility | 00:07:17 | |
| permitted and permitted nursing home comprehensive care permitted permitted then office is being permitted pharmacy permitted | 00:07:24 | |
| warehouse club is permitted in the RCRC is a regional commercial use. So that seems like a use that would fit well there assembly | 00:07:32 | |
| place of I mean really that's kind of a nasty way of saying children's. | 00:07:39 | |
| Movie theaters, it's for having like some sort of facility where people would gather together. So under a code, typically assembly | 00:07:47 | |
| place of that's the church. So if you wanna know where you can build a church, we'll look for the assembly use educational | 00:07:55 | |
| facility conditional conditional with those being primarily state universities that will go there. Those are state uses that that | 00:08:02 | |
| don't have to actually go through any local approval and so they're they can come in but if there was like a. | 00:08:09 | |
| That educational facility that would pair well with, you know, with with, with what's going on down there or up in that area that | 00:08:17 | |
| gives the opportunity if there's like a private college that has some sort of like specific medical training or something like | 00:08:22 | |
| that. | 00:08:27 | |
| Mercy care facility as a permitted use heliport that's that would be for, you know, having a medical uses up there so a helicopter | 00:08:33 | |
| can can come in and then hospitals is conditionally used and then just generally accessory building. You're you're allowed to do | 00:08:41 | |
| that really anywhere residential. You could have actually people have sheds and detached garages. Accessibility is just kind of. | 00:08:49 | |
| The, you know, a building that is accessory to the primary use of the site. So it's just kind of a general standard, but it would | 00:08:58 | |
| have to be related to to the use. | 00:09:02 | |
| That is our proposal and happy to take any questions from the Commission. | 00:09:08 | |
| Do you guys have any questions? | 00:09:17 | |
| As far. | 00:09:22 | |
| So just to clarify for the public in these areas, in the RC and FOI, residential is not allowed in these areas. | 00:09:24 | |
| And there is still extensive cleanup that needs to happen in these areas. | 00:09:34 | |
| With that being said, as far as these different kinds of facilities. | 00:09:39 | |
| Even if they were a permitted use if they ground doesn't meet like certain standards cause. | 00:09:47 | |
| Can you clarify I guess some of that stuff as far as since there can't be residential there, I'm just kind of curious how there | 00:09:55 | |
| could be like a nursing home or or something like that, Right? Sure. So DEQ and feel free Jamie, to jump in on this if you have | 00:10:02 | |
| kind of any more scientists. My understanding is any, any permanent uses have to any uses have to be approved. There's different | 00:10:09 | |
| levels that are approved. Right now it's under an industrial. | 00:10:16 | |
| Use approval. | 00:10:24 | |
| But there are areas that because there was a really kind of heavy more contaminated places within where the Geneva footprint was. | 00:10:25 | |
| And so those have pretty much been mapped. They're always being kind of remapped and studied. DQ would have to essentially sign | 00:10:33 | |
| off and on, on those types of uses. So, so if if they're not allowed, then they wouldn't come through. So any of that has to go | 00:10:40 | |
| through like the the state approval process. | 00:10:47 | |
| Do you have any questions, Chris on this? | 00:11:26 | |
| Cool. I don't think we have any questions up here, so. | 00:11:30 | |
| Is there anybody that had any specific questions or something that you think we may have missed? | 00:11:34 | |
| All right, if not, we'll move on to Item 2.2 Forge Development Agreement. | 00:11:39 | |
| OK, Steve, yeah, why don't you jump up and I'll do kind of a quick introduction on this. This was the project that was brought | 00:11:48 | |
| before the Planning Commission and City Council last went to council. I believe it was the 20th, 22nd of February is the days of | 00:11:54 | |
| my head, but it was it was kind of right in there. There were elements that the council Planning Commission had requested. One was | 00:12:01 | |
| a a reduction in the residential units proposed. | 00:12:07 | |
| If you remember it was 1500 units that that were that were being proposed. There was there were concerns about massing and the | 00:12:14 | |
| height of the buildings along the vendor connector those that so Steve will show you kind of the alterations of those. So there's | 00:12:22 | |
| a lot more single level like retail that that's being shown and then there are also concerns about. | 00:12:31 | |
| About the like the overall? | 00:12:42 | |
| Management and so Steve has been working on kind of where the longevity of the parking management of the site. And so they can | 00:12:45 | |
| share with you those ideas of how to do the parking management. If there are some specific things with that, those are elements | 00:12:53 | |
| that can be incorporated into the development agreement. So, yeah, so once that's up, I'll bring you through that update, OK. | 00:13:02 | |
| Just for the record, I'm Steve Borup, Director of Development for Dakota Pacific Real Estate. And for those I don't remember who I | 00:13:17 | |
| was here, but for those in the public may or may not know, we own 38 acres approximately which is the majority of what is the | 00:13:23 | |
| Forge zoning area in the in the in the zoning plan today, which is. | 00:13:29 | |
| That gateway area of Vineyard Connector in Geneva, so just north of the theater. | 00:13:36 | |
| I'm excited to be here. | 00:13:42 | |
| Morgan said, last time I was here in these chambers with many of you was first quarter of 2023 and after months of presentations | 00:13:45 | |
| and deliberations ultimately were given the guidance to go back and make some changes. And since that time we have been in | 00:13:53 | |
| collaboration with staff and economic development subcommittee and. | 00:14:01 | |
| Had a lot of back and forth and working sessions to find and present this plan that I'm going to present to you tonight. | 00:14:10 | |
| The process is kind of painful sometimes and long, but we respect it and certainly felt those that we've worked with passion for, | 00:14:18 | |
| you know? | 00:14:22 | |
| The quality of Vineyard and we as a developer have felt the continued desire to bring something that's high quality, that will be | 00:14:29 | |
| an amenity and it'll be iconic again at this at this gateway, something that everybody's proud of so. | 00:14:35 | |
| I just really appreciate all the collaboration we've had today and look forward to this discussion. | 00:14:44 | |
| The agenda will look like this. Please stop me. This is a discussion, this is a work session, but these are the agenda items I'm | 00:14:51 | |
| putting up there. So you know what's coming down the pipe if you have comments around anything in particular on there. | 00:14:57 | |
| By the way, I do have printouts. If somebody prefers that versus the screen, just raise your hand. I can I can bring it on. | 00:15:05 | |
| I thought we'd start with the general plan. That's the guiding document for cities and what the development should look like and | 00:15:12 | |
| in May 2019, the general plan that I found on the most turn on the website. | 00:15:18 | |
| UMM shows us in this general area right here, which is designated for residential mixed-use. And again, this was established in | 00:15:24 | |
| 2019. At that time that that general plan was being established. I wasn't with this project, but understand that others were | 00:15:32 | |
| within Dakota Pacific and there was. At the same time that the general plan was happening, there was also a negotiation for a | 00:15:39 | |
| specific zoning district for this area called. | 00:15:47 | |
| Used area and. | 00:15:54 | |
| As areas are being developed into this area, I think there was some confusion maybe by some of the members of our team. You could | 00:16:00 | |
| see these big pockets of residential that were being developed in the very South end. Then you had the yard, which is very | 00:16:04 | |
| commercial and yet. | 00:16:09 | |
| We were proposing and bringing something that was truly mixed-use and was different. | 00:16:14 | |
| And the anticipated program that was truly mixed-use was about 121.2 million square feet of office and commercial and 600 | 00:16:19 | |
| residential units. That's what the current entitlement stands as. That's what we're asking. You know, ultimately what we're asking | 00:16:25 | |
| for is some variances and changes, but that is the baseline that absent any kind of an approval, that's the entitlement that | 00:16:30 | |
| exists today. | 00:16:36 | |
| So I pointed out partly because the idea was this is a special area, this was to be a micro general plan. Again, the guiding | 00:16:43 | |
| document, this is to be a micro urban kind of an area and it is to be mixed-use. | 00:16:49 | |
| From the first quarter feedback that we got, these were some of the words and feedback that we we we received. | 00:16:58 | |
| Morgan mentioned density. There was 1500 residential units. That was a big topic of discussion. You'll see we reduced that in our | 00:17:07 | |
| current plan by 25% to 1100 maximum residential units. We heard a lot about active open space, the need for it on this side of the | 00:17:14 | |
| railroad tracks. We generally kept the same ratio of open space we had before and retained the highly programmed nature of it. | 00:17:20 | |
| The kinds of commercial with a topic of discussion, bringing something that's an amenity for for the area, something that's active | 00:17:28 | |
| and interesting parking. | 00:17:33 | |
| Wouldn't be a meeting if we don't get through that, so I'll address some of our parking. | 00:17:39 | |
| Strategies building height, I think there was some concern about what does it look like and still like along Vineyard Connector, | 00:17:44 | |
| What's the building heights along Mill Rd. How do we just make sure the scale works and transitions on the work? And you'll, | 00:17:49 | |
| you'll notice in our current plan, we've dealt with that specifically in the first phase. And then there was a lot of good | 00:17:55 | |
| feedback about the affordable and affordable housing and some desire for mixed housing, different kinds of housing for sale, | 00:18:00 | |
| townhomes, something else. | 00:18:05 | |
| Is to provide some variety. | 00:18:10 | |
| Anything else for those that were there that we should be thinking about that that you expressed or heard that isn't represented | 00:18:15 | |
| in what I've just discussed? | 00:18:20 | |
| I have a question as far as clarity. You mentioned you guys reduced the residency units by 25% down to 1100, but I also saw 600 | 00:18:28 | |
| residential units. Yeah. So our Phase 1 is going to have about 600 that we're proposing. So we'll get into kind of the phasing a | 00:18:35 | |
| little bit. And so there's the overall development agreement is written to allow maximum of 1100 units, but then we've defined | 00:18:41 | |
| very specifically how and where. | 00:18:47 | |
| 600 of those units will sit and and and showing you a concept site plan for it. | 00:18:55 | |
| And to clarify, currently as its own, they can have 600 residential units. So that's where that 600 was coming from. And then they | 00:18:59 | |
| came up, they had a plan that they came in earlier this year that was a 1500 unit plan that went through the Planning Commission | 00:19:05 | |
| and got denied by the City Council with adjustments. | 00:19:12 | |
| The only other thing that was brought up as an issue or a concern was. | 00:19:21 | |
| Traffic flow of traffic and. | 00:19:28 | |
| Where to get in and out your exits and entrances and stuff like that. Can I clarify a really quick price? And I, I think under | 00:19:31 | |
| the, the 600 that, that was kind of what that, that was like what was anticipated under the, the zoning initially. The zoning | 00:19:39 | |
| actually doesn't have a residential unit limit. It's, it's a, it's a third. So allows 1/3 of the square footage to be dedicated. | 00:19:46 | |
| So just depending on how intense they build it out it there's, there's not necessarily a cap. | 00:19:54 | |
| That was back in 2015 when I was when I was adopted. So and I think the 600 number was, was kind of what that was what they said. | 00:20:02 | |
| Well, if we were to build this out, that's a number that we could reach. If it was built out with like office and everything, it | 00:20:07 | |
| was what the master plan comprehended that was kind of the basis for the zoning. | 00:20:13 | |
| Yeah, OK. | 00:20:20 | |
| So our new approach or or revised approach is trying to designate certain areas within the forge mixed-use area for certain uses. | 00:20:24 | |
| So before it was 1500 units, but we didn't didn't designate necessarily where those residential units would be. | 00:20:33 | |
| And so in this revised approach, we're taking each block, each area and saying what kind of uses can be allowed in that block or | 00:20:43 | |
| that area. And you can see we have an entertainment block, a commercial designation, business office and then mixed-use. | 00:20:50 | |
| This entertainment area here. | 00:20:58 | |
| On the quarter, a vineyard connector and Mill Rd. is meant to have an entertainment anchor. We will show you renderings of this | 00:21:02 | |
| blue fate. The blue area is phase one, which will show you some more detail and vision on, but it's meant to be an active area | 00:21:08 | |
| that's going to have this entertainment anchor which will have you know, you know. | 00:21:13 | |
| Outdoor recreational area or a facility that facilitates entertainment based type use and then it'll likely have other food and | 00:21:20 | |
| beverage and other interesting retail around it. | 00:21:25 | |
| The commercial area anticipate things like hotels, other retail, food and beverage up here in the corner. There was a lot of | 00:21:31 | |
| discussion in the first quarter about being able to provide something that's meaningful as a gateway to come in to bring your | 00:21:39 | |
| connector and there was a desire for some office. And so we carved that out really for office with some potential retail and other | 00:21:46 | |
| kinds of uses more as ancillary to the primary use of office. And in the middle in this core we have what's what's. | 00:21:53 | |
| Neighborhoods feel for this area which is mixed-use where you'll have ground floor commercial, upper floor residential and some | 00:22:01 | |
| interesting streets streetscapes along the way. | 00:22:06 | |
| Other things to point out here is these green areas are the publicly accessible open space and we're retaining the central Plaza | 00:22:14 | |
| which will highlight and show you more renderings of. | 00:22:19 | |
| This entertainment. | 00:22:26 | |
| Anchor is we'll show you what that could look like as an outdoor amenity. But one of the things that we heard was again, on this | 00:22:29 | |
| side of the railroad tracks, how do you provide more open space that's meaningful? How do you provide an experience for these | 00:22:34 | |
| people that live? | 00:22:39 | |
| More on the eastern side of the city and the future plan is for this railroad to go away and become the Geneva Trail. And so our | 00:22:46 | |
| vision comprehends that as as an occupant, which this is kind of that piece that sits behind the theater to be able to walk up | 00:22:54 | |
| have some pocket parks. We're going to donate, you know, 3/4 of an acre or so for a pocket park there in that mixed-use area. They | 00:23:01 | |
| can stop, they can they can rest, they can play there'll be some other kind of amenities along this trail system at this. | 00:23:08 | |
| Gateway Park. We're comprehending and planning for a dog park here where again, you could let your dog out running a kennel, play | 00:23:16 | |
| with some other dogs, come around Mill Road and kind of complete a loop around this area and have stopping points along the way | 00:23:20 | |
| that are meaningful. | 00:23:24 | |
| That's five plus acres of publicly open space just to kind of provide that corridor. And then you'll see these these pockets of of | 00:23:30 | |
| larger programmed open space. | 00:23:35 | |
| We've also retained within that 1100 units the affordable housing at the same ratio. So it's about 20. I think 21 is what the | 00:23:41 | |
| development agreement says of 60% AMI affordable units and we'll go into that more. So that's the big picture land use that's | 00:23:46 | |
| being driven by the development agreement. | 00:23:52 | |
| I should also mention that this purple is an enhanced pedestrian corridor. There was a lot of discussion in the subcommittees. How | 00:24:00 | |
| do you bring our development together with the yard so that it feels a little more seamless, draws people in. You can kind of park | 00:24:05 | |
| in between and and have something that's. | 00:24:10 | |
| That draws people into into our development if they park here by the theater or if there's a comprehended to be a garage here, how | 00:24:15 | |
| do people walk up through here? And visually as you're driving down 650 N, you draw the eye. And so these green areas are meant to | 00:24:21 | |
| be seating areas, some enhanced light landscaping, perhaps an over the street feature some lighting. | 00:24:28 | |
| Again, give it kind of a neighborhood walkway feel. | 00:24:36 | |
| Quick question about open space. Do you know what percent of of this is open space? | 00:24:41 | |
| Open space by code is different than what I'm highlighting in green here. Within each of those developments, there'll be | 00:24:49 | |
| additional considered open space that would meet the typical zoning requirement. Open space, this is kind of set aside | 00:24:55 | |
| specifically for public access, right? But within, you know. | 00:25:01 | |
| A retail area that could be additional open space within the multifamily there could be additional open space. So the total | 00:25:08 | |
| development is 38 acres and again, we're saying 5 is going to be this kind of set as part special public open space. But, but | 00:25:13 | |
| overall we'll meet I, I, I can't recall what the zoning requires for total open space, but we will generally exceed exceed that | 00:25:19 | |
| with this additional 55 acres of. | 00:25:25 | |
| Of public amenity open space in the agreement it says that we acknowledge part of it is outside the municipal boundary. Is that | 00:25:32 | |
| actually is that part of it that's outside of Vineyard yeah. So we have a long Geneva that's right of way as we as U dot improves | 00:25:38 | |
| Geneva Rd. the idea is that we would. | 00:25:44 | |
| Improve our section of it to build a trail corridor. We did the general plan that was a pretty important route that was identified | 00:25:51 | |
| by residents was to have a safe trail for like if you know, just if they wanted to commute or just walk right now it's, it's kind | 00:25:57 | |
| of like no, no, no man's plan. But when they, when the expansion occurs, then that would provide us the opportunity to, to improve | 00:26:04 | |
| that, that right away. | 00:26:10 | |
| So depending on where that lands, we would contribute cash in lieu for anything that's not on our land. | 00:26:17 | |
| Yeah. So you, you dot will do their, their base minimum and then we can do what's called a betterment. And so that that's where we | 00:26:24 | |
| would utilize those funds to, you know, to if we needed to add landscaping to make it more attractive, to add trail side | 00:26:29 | |
| amenities, those kinds of things. | 00:26:34 | |
| OK. | 00:26:41 | |
| So this is the rendering of our vision for phase one, which again I'll just go back real quick. This blue shaded area is what | 00:26:43 | |
| we're comprehending as phase one. | 00:26:48 | |
| This is the entertainment block. | 00:26:55 | |
| Here. So just for orientation, this is Mill Road and then Vineyard Connector runs along this side. | 00:26:58 | |
| This entertainment block in the middle will highlight more of what this is, but this is. | 00:27:05 | |
| An outdoor active area. | 00:27:10 | |
| And then you'd have surrounding it, retail, food and beverage, dining, sit down dining. We'll talk a little bit more about the | 00:27:13 | |
| kind of food and beverage we're working to attract. | 00:27:18 | |
| Umm, you can see there's entrances from along the major roads. It makes it feel like you're not on the back of buildings. | 00:27:25 | |
| There's pedestrian access from these roads and some of these routes that we've talked about. | 00:27:33 | |
| There's a mix of residential that sits back behind the entertainment block. These could be three story townhomes or flats, but | 00:27:39 | |
| we've talked about the desire for some for sale type units. This would be a great place to be able to provide that type of use. It | 00:27:47 | |
| also is lower scale at 3 Storey, just to be able to kind of transition over to, you know, a four or five Storey larger structure | 00:27:54 | |
| that would have a parking garage in the middle of it. That parking garage will facilitate. | 00:28:01 | |
| The overall density that you're seeing, you know, less surface parking and, you know, asphalt everywhere and there's more vibrant, | 00:28:09 | |
| walkable feel for the overall area. | 00:28:14 | |
| As far as the types of users around this entertainment anchor that we're discussing, we feel like there's a need and an | 00:28:26 | |
| opportunity if we can build something with high character that has enough activity and vibrancy and this kind of neighborhood feel | 00:28:33 | |
| in talking to food and beverage users that are, you know, mid to maybe higher end food and beverage users sit down dining type, | 00:28:40 | |
| this is the kind of development that they're interested in coming to. It's different, it's got character, it's got a sense. | 00:28:47 | |
| Place, right, They feel like people will want to come here. There's activity in and around it. And so this is key to kind of | 00:28:54 | |
| providing that kind of service and opportunity for Vineyard. | 00:29:00 | |
| As well as you know just this adjacent residential brings just vibrancy activity in the area, it'll bring users for these | 00:29:08 | |
| retailers and together. | 00:29:13 | |
| This concept becomes viable and works really well together. | 00:29:18 | |
| The next rendering that I'll show you focuses in a little bit more on the center part of what we're calling the entertainment | 00:29:23 | |
| anchor. Oh, I'm sorry, I'm going to show you a site plan first. | 00:29:28 | |
| So this is now looking at that same phase. Top down, you can see the parking garage sits here. This helps park the entertainment | 00:29:34 | |
| block. | 00:29:37 | |
| And then in the center, this is that entertainment anchor where you could have some food and beverage. You could have sports | 00:29:42 | |
| courts, you could have a yard where the retail association that all belongs to that block could hold, you know, music nights. They | 00:29:48 | |
| could hold, you know, ******** competitions. | 00:29:53 | |
| Movie nights in the open space as well as, you know, some fire pits. So the idea is that this is a place that people want to come. | 00:30:00 | |
| They'll come during the day, they'll bring family and they'll bring friends. They'll hang out, they'll enjoy outdoor environment | 00:30:07 | |
| and and have a lot of options to for food and beverage to stay and dine as well. | 00:30:14 | |
| I'll also highlight this is the central part that we've talked about, which is a rendering of that and then. | 00:30:22 | |
| The mixed-use multifamily, umm. | 00:30:28 | |
| Being here with, you know, internal amenities to that project and then the lower story, you know, tech undergrads that would sit | 00:30:31 | |
| behind, you know, some type of a town home or three story flat type type project. | 00:30:36 | |
| This is the rendering of that central Plaza. | 00:30:45 | |
| You know again. | 00:30:47 | |
| Bring some commercial, some food and beverage cafe, you know. | 00:30:49 | |
| Juice bar, smoothie shop, all that kind of stuff. Right here to the activity center you can see some pickleball courts is | 00:30:56 | |
| something that has been considered fire pits, bike parking. | 00:31:02 | |
| Come hang out, have fun. | 00:31:09 | |
| And enjoy the social area. | 00:31:10 | |
| This is the rendering of that Central Park, so if I'm standing on other side of cauldron I'm looking N you can see. | 00:31:16 | |
| Various heights of buildings, you can see food and beverage flanking on either side. That's one of our agreements in the | 00:31:24 | |
| development agreement is on the Central Park. Let's provision for commercial to be able to be there to make this more active. | 00:31:29 | |
| There'll be some kind of play feature as the development agreement is written for kids to be able to climb on. And then just some | 00:31:35 | |
| open areas for people again to be able to get sun and enjoy the outdoors. | 00:31:40 | |
| Often at this point there's some questions, well, how does how does this get phased? Like what's the what's the commitment? | 00:31:50 | |
| There's some residential, there's some commercial. How do we bring it all together? Development agreement is basically written | 00:31:57 | |
| such that we can start this phase one area that the multi family and that phase one area a area, but we can't occupy that until | 00:32:03 | |
| the entertainment anchor, which is here would have also started construction. | 00:32:09 | |
| So that entertainment anchor has to come with a multi family. | 00:32:17 | |
| And then once that entertainment. | 00:32:21 | |
| Anchor is complete then the multifamily in this in this phase 1B can begin and then some of this retail and you know the. | 00:32:24 | |
| The three story pet product would come just throughout those two larger phases. So I'll stop there on the design and the kind of | 00:32:34 | |
| the phasing. Pause for any questions before we get into some of the more specifics around parking, affordable housing and traffic. | 00:32:42 | |
| Do you guys have any questions? | 00:32:52 | |
| Yeah. I was just wondering, do you anticipate signing? | 00:32:54 | |
| Retail. | 00:32:59 | |
| And commercial, you know, business entertainment contracts before. | 00:33:01 | |
| Residential. | 00:33:06 | |
| We are in negotiations with several entertainment acres. | 00:33:10 | |
| People like this concept. There's a lot of interest for it. Obviously those negotiations kind of get stopped and you say, well, | 00:33:14 | |
| does your zoning allow it? | 00:33:18 | |
| And so those entertainment anchors aren't able to pro ceed and make an announcement that yes, we want to come. | 00:33:23 | |
| And so we're kind of in a pickle on that. | 00:33:31 | |
| But yes, there are interested avenues to be able to deliver an entertainment anchor and we're excited to be able to share them. We | 00:33:33 | |
| just need that zoning, I think to align it so that they know it's commercially viable. | 00:33:40 | |
| So I guess more so the question would be is in phase one, how many residential units and with those residential units going before | 00:33:49 | |
| any retailer, is there any kind of requirement to have retail before residential or? | 00:33:56 | |
| Before certificate of occupancy or anything like that. | 00:34:04 | |
| The requirement as written is that we can't occupy this Phase 1A multifamily building without having built the entertainment | 00:34:08 | |
| anchor. The entertainment anchor could be a retail user that provides outdoor or an entertainment facility of some sort or it it | 00:34:15 | |
| it could be more outdoor based kind of park amenity with retail adjacent to it. | 00:34:22 | |
| So to answer your question is yes, we have to provide. | 00:34:30 | |
| Some kind of non residential use before we can occupy that phase 1A building, OK. | 00:34:34 | |
| Is there a way we could define that further potentially as to what that is? Cuz I mean if it's not defined, it could just be like | 00:34:40 | |
| a small playground and a snow cone check. Not saying it will be, I'm just saying it could be unless it's defined. So having some | 00:34:46 | |
| kind of definition for that I think would be good. The development, I don't know if you saw the definition of the development | 00:34:52 | |
| agreement. | 00:34:59 | |
| It does define it. You have concerns with how it's written. | 00:35:06 | |
| Can we bring that up? | 00:35:10 | |
| It's in section 24, basically says it's going to include an outdoor activity area or facility that offers entertainment or | 00:35:19 | |
| recreation as part of the entertainment land use area. | 00:35:24 | |
| So that's what we have to deliver. You can see it's comprehended here as you know just about an acre of of outdoor space. | 00:35:29 | |
| We want this to be sizable. This is the key to the retail around it. It can't be it, it, it can't be minor because we won't get | 00:35:38 | |
| the leasing around it without some kind of draw to bring people in during the daytime. It's key to our whole whole strategy. If | 00:35:44 | |
| you want a more definition, you could put something in there. So there there's still still some flexibility as how they kind of | 00:35:50 | |
| Orient the uses, but. | 00:35:56 | |
| As the entertainment block will be brought in at the same level. | 00:36:03 | |
| Of amenities as depicted in the the concept plan because this will then be in the development agreement and so you show a very | 00:36:07 | |
| highly monetized thing so when they come back for a site plan then that would be the analysis the Planning Commission would do is | 00:36:15 | |
| you would say OK is this the at the same level you know and so it provides like so on some some wiggle room but it does allow you | 00:36:22 | |
| as the as the Planning Commission under the site plan to say, you know you showed all these elements is very heavily. | 00:36:30 | |
| We'll, we'll, we'll consider that. | 00:37:07 | |
| Based on some of the anchors that we've been negotiating with, it was a little hard to find a global definition that provided the | 00:37:10 | |
| boundaries. And so we did, we did attempt that, but we also need some flexibility I think in order to accommodate some of these | 00:37:17 | |
| anchors. So, but I appreciate your comment. We will consider how to how to shore that up. | 00:37:24 | |
| Anything else? Yeah, just one more point on clarification. Do you anticipate people living at the forge or shopping at the forge | 00:37:32 | |
| first? First before. | 00:37:37 | |
| Which one would I do where people live there? Or are you building the retail part first? | 00:37:43 | |
| Well, we believe in order to create some critical mass for this type of development, the residential needs to come with the | 00:37:52 | |
| commercial right at least concurrently and, and, and how that how that shakes out, I think the market will dictate to some extent. | 00:37:59 | |
| There is interest for the commercial there. There really is for this kind of commercial there is market interest. I don't have any | 00:38:06 | |
| concern about bringing it along with the with the residential. I don't think it'll be a challenge for us. | 00:38:12 | |
| On your agenda, did you have a slide specifically to discuss height or we didn't discuss height a whole lot there? I mean, the | 00:38:21 | |
| development agreement has, we didn't change it from what it was before, you can see in. | 00:38:28 | |
| Well, my specific question, so I'm an Exhibit C because currently they can go up to 125 or 140 for anything in the project, | 00:38:36 | |
| correct? So, so this has put a limitation in there for blocks A&E to be no more than 75. Is that is that correct? And then, but | 00:38:43 | |
| then there's nothing presented here. I see that seems to even go up to to that higher height of up to 140. Is that correct? That's | 00:38:51 | |
| right. So you can that's the current vested right. | 00:38:58 | |
| You're not planning on that. That's right. I think with this block, you're guaranteed that the retail, retail typically unless | 00:39:05 | |
| you're in like a mall, you're not gonna get a two-story format. I mean, you may here and there at the most, maybe there's some | 00:39:12 | |
| offices that could sit above retail. But requiring this to be the kind of the entertainment block where you would have a lot of | 00:39:20 | |
| restaurants, that's kind of the primary use. It's kind of ensuring that you're going to get like a pretty much a one story. | 00:39:27 | |
| Format maybe with a double twos mixed in that that's block A&E for that 75 for the restriction is yeah. | 00:39:35 | |
| Yeah, there were comments to ask that we restrict the height along Mill Rd. | 00:39:42 | |
| And you can see we're honoring that plus in our concept plan. | 00:39:47 | |
| That was my last question. Mr. Chair. Can I ask a follow-up question, and this may be for you and for the applicant on the | 00:39:55 | |
| Entertainment Anchor. I'll be putting together some text edits to send to the developer to try to get an agreement that fits with | 00:40:02 | |
| what you want when it comes forward at the next meeting. Do you help me understand what? | 00:40:10 | |
| Your concern or desire is with the entertainment anchor and maybe the applicant can. | 00:40:18 | |
| I know you can't name who the anchor is if you haven't negotiated terms or that kind of thing, but maybe you can give us an idea | 00:40:24 | |
| of. | 00:40:28 | |
| The type of thing you're considering, what the activity level would be that would come with it. I think this allows for | 00:40:33 | |
| entertainment anchor uses that could be commercial in nature or could be recreational in nature. And, and Bryce, maybe help me | 00:40:39 | |
| understand whether you'd prefer to see, you know, one type of thing or another. | 00:40:46 | |
| So commercial from what I understand commercial anchor is what we're going like as far as the general plan is concerned is | 00:40:54 | |
| bringing in commercial amenities for this area and. | 00:41:00 | |
| I I don't personally know how to define anchor, but if it's something that is drawing people from a regional. | 00:41:09 | |
| Way it has to be more than just a park, um. | 00:41:16 | |
| And if it's like one of the defining features of this plan, it like. | 00:41:21 | |
| I think that it's really important that it is. | 00:41:26 | |
| An anchor, OK, that's helpful. So. | 00:41:31 | |
| What strikes me as important and what you just said is that it's regionally significant and that it's a regional draw. | 00:41:37 | |
| Is that the kind of thing the applicant could commit to, that it would be that whatever that entertainment anchor is, that it be | 00:41:43 | |
| regionally significant? | 00:41:48 | |
| Yeah. I don't know how that's defined or how that's always interpreted, but the idea that it's the draw that's going to bring | 00:41:54 | |
| people to this area. | 00:41:58 | |
| Right. That's going to both residents within our, you know, the overall area will use it, but it'll also bring outside people to | 00:42:02 | |
| the surrounding commercial as well. I think I view it as, I mean you're going to have a catchment area for whatever this amenity | 00:42:10 | |
| is, right? It will, it will bring people in either from within the development or from within the city or from within the region. | 00:42:17 | |
| And I think what we're hearing is that it's important to the Planning Commission for the land. | 00:42:25 | |
| That it be. | 00:42:33 | |
| A regionally significant entertainment value that you'll bring people from other areas. | 00:42:35 | |
| Not being able to define a commercial entertainment anchor. We've depicted something that collectively is an entertainment anchor | 00:42:44 | |
| as well, right? Like you talked about, it just can't be an amenity park. It's not just an amenity park. It's food and beverage | 00:42:50 | |
| dining. It's, you know, an experience to have some really interesting folks all gathered together around, you know, again, you | 00:42:56 | |
| have a music night, you have a movie night. People come together. So it's not it doesn't. | 00:43:02 | |
| I think it's helpful to say it's not just one user necessarily. It's a, it's a. | 00:43:09 | |
| Or Walmart for large shopping center. That's not work. So we gotta be kind of careful. Yeah, this is a four acre block. It's gonna | 00:43:45 | |
| be an anchor. So there's that too. And there's also like if you're working with someone, looking at their performa and seeing kind | 00:43:51 | |
| of where they're pulling their customers from, I think there's ways that you could kind of understand if it's more just like a | 00:43:57 | |
| local type use compared to a, I think, I think I understand your intent. It's just actually getting verbiage that kind of fits all | 00:44:03 | |
| these various dynamics. | 00:44:09 | |
| Is a little bit challenging, yeah, but I understand what you're asking. Yeah, OK. | 00:44:15 | |
| Anything else? | 00:44:25 | |
| Let's talk parking then. That's always fun. | 00:44:28 | |
| We think the core issue with parking is not parking, it's occupancy. | 00:44:30 | |
| When it comes to residential kind of condominiums, townhomes, apartments, when people occupy incorrectly, it creates parking | 00:44:36 | |
| problems, right? If you have a three bedroom apartment and you put 6 bundled singles in there and each of them have a car, you are | 00:44:42 | |
| asking for a parking problem. And that I believe is the core of so much of the issue. We do development at cities all around and I | 00:44:48 | |
| keep asking myself why is it different here? What has happened in Vineyard that this is such a hot button where other places | 00:44:53 | |
| typical parking ratios are OK? | 00:44:59 | |
| And it works out. And so our commitment in the development agreement is to focus on occupancy to get upstream of the issue and | 00:45:06 | |
| deal with it there. And so the parking ratio is 1 stall per bedroom for family occupancy, right. So if you have a one bedroom or | 00:45:14 | |
| two-bedroom, which is I think above today, it's 1 1/2 stalls per per unit. And so now we're tying it to the size of the unit. | 00:45:21 | |
| And then it's one stall per bed if you have bundled singles in there. So now if I have a three bedroom and I have 3 singles in | 00:45:30 | |
| there, I need 3 parking stalls. If I have 6 singles, I need 6 parking stalls. Combine that with permitting, right? So our contract | 00:45:36 | |
| is going to talk about occupancy, we're going to post occupancy requirements and we're going to audit occupancy. | 00:45:43 | |
| Requirements. So this is now an obligation for the users and we have ways to enforce it where it's a little harder for the city to | 00:45:51 | |
| enforce that because you're not signing the lease, all right. | 00:45:55 | |
| And so. | 00:46:01 | |
| When they sign the lease they say we're a family occupancy. It's a 2 bedroom. We give 2 parking permits. | 00:46:03 | |
| Now they have two parking permits. | 00:46:09 | |
| And if they bring a third car, where are they going to park? Well, they might squat in the visitor areas or somewhere where | 00:46:13 | |
| they're not supposed to park. | 00:46:17 | |
| We're starting to figure out, you know, these squatters who might be trying to skirt the permitting requirement. | 00:46:51 | |
| We'll define you can park in these areas for so long that should be able to provide some nice turn against the squatters. | 00:47:26 | |
| Don't sit in there. And the last, which I think is also really important. | 00:47:31 | |
| Is in this initial phase. | 00:47:35 | |
| When we looked at the parking requirements per code, we thought. | 00:47:40 | |
| But this is an entertainment area, food and beverage, you could get some additional market demand. | 00:47:45 | |
| And so with the market demand might be even a little bit higher than code. | 00:47:50 | |
| But as we looked at the layout and where we can provide parking and how it'll all shake out, we're actually going to provide 15 or | 00:47:55 | |
| 25% excess of of of even the market demand. | 00:48:00 | |
| That's kind of that's kind of the benefit of like when you're in the phases, you have like that NE block, that's the office block | 00:48:35 | |
| and that that could be a good spot where you could put some some on the flow. But there are places in as you phase it in that you | 00:48:40 | |
| could just add additional part. | 00:48:46 | |
| Constructed footprint will have over capacity right, right on something as well is just the overall like like enforcement and | 00:48:51 | |
| having personnel inside. Are you going to have someone on site but OK. | 00:48:57 | |
| That's kind of, I mean that's obviously like, like one of the main issues that we've dealt with what we found is doing with the | 00:49:04 | |
| rental type aspect when you have. | 00:49:09 | |
| When it's managed kind of on that level, it tends to do really well. When you have lots of individual owners like in a town home | 00:49:15 | |
| community or something like that, we have several different investors and they're renting out, then it gets a lot more | 00:49:21 | |
| problematic. And so I don't know if you can you kind of speak to that, you know, kind of kind of what. | 00:49:28 | |
| Right, because you have a kind of list of like in the occupancy, I guess like what do you, what do you do when someone comes in | 00:49:35 | |
| and like whoever owns this? | 00:49:38 | |
| By deed is now required to monitor their occupancy. So if it's sold another investor, the city's that that next buyer this this | 00:49:43 | |
| and Jamie can clarify, but this development agreement runs with the land. And so it's it's not just a requirement for us until we | 00:49:49 | |
| sell it, it's a requirement for the land. | 00:49:55 | |
| You're right on the fact that the development agreement runs with the land and the requirement runs in the land. I think what we'd | 00:50:03 | |
| like to see is one step further on that, that not only does the requirement run with the land, but you have. | 00:50:09 | |
| A commitment that runs with the land that it will be managed by a single entity and not piece meal. | 00:50:16 | |
| What we have found overtime is that things like occupancy and parking, when they're separated to individual owners, it's really | 00:50:22 | |
| difficult to enforce those provisions. But when you have a single entity, you know, be it an HOA or or something similar that can | 00:50:30 | |
| have a little bit more global view of the full neighborhood that it gets managed better and it's easier to enforce on the part, | 00:50:37 | |
| particularly in this case private, but some public streets, but. | 00:50:45 | |
| Streets is what you're referring to, not necessarily one person managing. | 00:50:52 | |
| Both garages necessarily. No, I think we're talking about the garages. | 00:50:58 | |
| Yeah, I guess I'm struggling to understand the the value that there there there will be an overall association I think we can | 00:51:06 | |
| take. | 00:51:09 | |
| Take that and talk about it more internally. The value of the city is if you run sideways, there's a single enforcement action and | 00:51:13 | |
| not a dozen enforcement actions. | 00:51:18 | |
| Yeah, yeah. And you do have private streets in there. And so if you have an HOA, some sort of management mechanism on that level, | 00:51:25 | |
| there's already a property association that can certainly. | 00:51:33 | |
| Have oversight on the and as I'm sure you're aware I mean really the like a really big concern too is like the megaplex is a huge | 00:51:40 | |
| thing for the city and you know we that like the one thing we don't want is residents who are living there, you know parking over | 00:51:46 | |
| there and and. | 00:51:52 | |
| You know, I mean, that's something I could actually really impact sales tax. That's really important for like just the financial | 00:51:59 | |
| longevity. So making sure that the two uses can belong to others. So anyway, and it's hard to solve them all until we kind of have | 00:52:06 | |
| true site plans. Where is the parking? But what what the development agreement requires us is basically to bring a planning a | 00:52:12 | |
| parking management plan per site per site plan. Basically it says this is our plan. | 00:52:19 | |
| We need to have you approve it. | 00:52:27 | |
| Then we're going to do the parking study at the end of phase one and then in here is already a requirement that that plan has to | 00:52:28 | |
| talk about enforcement. How do allot the different parking stalls across the different uses enforcement and we can we'll we'll | 00:52:34 | |
| look at the HOA kind of having some common umbrella oversight around parking enforcement. | 00:52:40 | |
| Can you commit to put that plan in the CCNRS? | 00:52:47 | |
| It's already asked to be recorded, so CCRS is. | 00:52:51 | |
| Yeah, the development agreement I think already states that it will be a recorded parking management plan. Thank you. | 00:52:55 | |
| So all the parking is it's privately funded or is there any RDA funds or nothing like that is being used for this, right. We do | 00:53:00 | |
| have an application for RDA funds to support the structured nature of the parking. Would you be? So we have an initiative in | 00:53:08 | |
| Vineyard to make sure we're considering privacy. Vineyards kind of the first city in the state saying, hey, let's build privacy | 00:53:15 | |
| into planning and zoning. So when you mentioned using Metropolis for license plate tracking my profession's privacy so it. | 00:53:23 | |
| You just say, can we delete the data after X amount of time? And it highlights our desire to do great development but protect | 00:54:01 | |
| privacy at the same time while using technology. Yeah. Do you see any issue with that? I looked at the Metropolis app. It looks | 00:54:06 | |
| like even with that, you can set the settings. But that's just a matter of working with the vendor to say, hey, after we process | 00:54:11 | |
| the data, that's just dispose about after X amount of time. And that's just part of what we do if we're going to do license plate | 00:54:16 | |
| readers. | 00:54:21 | |
| Yes, yeah. In concept diagonal concerns of that we just got to work through the logistics of. | 00:54:27 | |
| How that actually works and maybe there's some language that we have, we could add that to the development agreement or our legal. | 00:54:33 | |
| Can put something around best efforts or. | 00:54:41 | |
| Yeah, there'll be some disclosures or something along those lines. | 00:54:44 | |
| I'd also, I would recommend on that too. So if you have the disposition, but then it's notice. So if public entities, even | 00:54:49 | |
| private, we notice in our buildings today, yeah, just clear notice. There's license plate reader technology and then people get to | 00:54:56 | |
| choose if they want to enter the garage. We do notice in our facilities today that use it. | 00:55:02 | |
| I think that's important. | 00:55:09 | |
| For going upstream, we think is is really important and we think that's going to really solve a lot of the challenges that you've | 00:55:14 | |
| you've had where you have, you know six cars that was where a parking ratio was was was never intended for so. | 00:55:20 | |
| We really think we're getting to the heart of the issue on that. Any other comments around parking? | 00:55:27 | |
| Traffic. | 00:55:34 | |
| Our proposed. | 00:55:37 | |
| When we talk about traffic, I think the most important thing to understand is if nothing is done, what does traffic look like? | 00:55:39 | |
| Eventually as this gets built out and what's the variance of that versus the current entitlement? The current approved plan has | 00:55:46 | |
| 20,000 daily trips and over 2000 PM peak trips. | 00:55:51 | |
| What we're proposing today. | 00:55:57 | |
| As 12,000 daily trips, 1100 peak, we're talking 40 to 50% reductions in traffic on this plan versus if nothing else is done and it | 00:56:00 | |
| gets developed as approved. So it's easy to say, well, the dirt today. | 00:56:07 | |
| We like that, but if you're really comparing against what's already entitled and allowed, this isn't a by by approving this plan, | 00:56:17 | |
| you're approving a reduction in traffic versus the current baseline. | 00:56:22 | |
| So the development agreement requires us to address our projects impact infrastructure which includes transportation. We have a | 00:56:29 | |
| transportation impact study of sentence to staff today. It talks about adding turn lanes, deceleration lanes, acceleration lanes | 00:56:37 | |
| in certain areas. It looks at the background versus our project, what can be mitigated responsibility for that and. | 00:56:44 | |
| We're required to address our impact and and that's our commitment and we will always be using a third party engineer to be able | 00:56:53 | |
| to measure and assess that impact. | 00:56:57 | |
| So one thing that the concern is currently with the rail spur being where it is, 800 N can't be widened, Center St. can't be | 00:57:03 | |
| widened and there can't be an entrance or an exit into this development until that's removed, which could be five years away from | 00:57:09 | |
| now. So I think that a major concern from citizens and concern from the Planning Commission is this. If this plan gets approved, I | 00:57:16 | |
| assume that it's going to be built as soon as possible. | 00:57:23 | |
| Whereas the full development of what is already approved office space with those 19,000 almost 20,000. | 00:57:31 | |
| Trips by the time that it reaches that 20,000 trips a day. | 00:57:39 | |
| 800 N would be widened, the rail spur would be removed, Center St. would be widened so traffic would be a lot less of a concern. | 00:57:44 | |
| Whereas at least for the next probably five years until that gets removed. If we've got 12,000 trips happening, then that adds a | 00:57:50 | |
| major concern to trust. | 00:57:55 | |
| 1. | 00:58:03 | |
| So that that's just a concern of mine that so. | 00:58:06 | |
| I Morgan gave me a heads up that this could be a question. We've asked our traffic engineer to look at that. They didn't have the | 00:58:11 | |
| answer today. They think they'll have it in a few days. What the impact is if you can't cross those roads, what's the impact to | 00:58:17 | |
| intersections and mitigations? And so for the next meeting, I'll be able to answer that more clearly. Thank you. Yeah. | 00:58:23 | |
| And then another concern that's not so much a concern with you guys, it's more something that the city needs to do. If we approve | 00:58:30 | |
| something like this or this or before they even start development, if they continue with their current plans, is we don't even | 00:58:37 | |
| have a sidewalk that goes over to the rail to the transit station. | 00:58:44 | |
| Say Bill, but maybe that's something the city could partner with UVU and see that and and you dot facility and try to get that | 00:59:23 | |
| install quicker cuz it stops right after the overpass and then you're sort of you're walking on the shoulder so. | 00:59:30 | |
| OK. And then the other thing I'd like to see that I didn't see initially in the plan. | 00:59:38 | |
| But just want it to be in there somewhere is someplace for some kind of bus stop that's off the road that people can access the | 00:59:45 | |
| bus any ways that we can mitigate traffic. Another thing that with that 20,000, if this were to be developed as it's currently, as | 00:59:52 | |
| it's currently zoned for, a lot of that is office space. A lot of that is commercial space where people that live in Vineyard | 01:00:00 | |
| could walk there and work there. | 01:00:07 | |
| Whereas this if we don't have those places, if we don't have office space, we don't have someone for people to work and to go. | 01:00:16 | |
| Than ever of course everybody's going to be driving to another city where they can actually work so switching it from. | 01:00:24 | |
| Less office and less commercial to more residential I feel like does hurt the city in a way because then people have to drive out | 01:00:32 | |
| of the city which in and of itself creates more traffic. | 01:00:39 | |
| So yeah. | 01:00:47 | |
| I appreciate that. I mean, of course we have office in our plan. | 01:00:51 | |
| You know, 120,000 feet or so, which is isn't significant. If you build 1.2 million square feet of office, that's 6000 people, 6000 | 01:00:55 | |
| cars. | 01:00:59 | |
| Even even if you say you know a portion of those living vineyard, I don't think the impact is equivalent to traffic, but. | 01:01:06 | |
| And regarding the bus stop, I was looking for it, I know in here we had talked to UTA and I think we committed in here to continue | 01:01:14 | |
| to to work with UTA to provide transit facilities and connectivity to other areas via bus. Originally they said so long as there's | 01:01:21 | |
| sufficient scale and you know demand they're willing to work with us on a route, you know from our place to the front runner | 01:01:28 | |
| station, you know, directly and rework some of the routes so. | 01:01:35 | |
| We would definitely bring in a bus stop. | 01:01:43 | |
| And. | 01:01:49 | |
| And put some emphasis on on bus transit. | 01:01:51 | |
| OK. So that's traffic. | 01:01:58 | |
| Last is affordable housing, again I'll just highlight at 2160% amid restricted housing units. These would be spread throughout the | 01:02:01 | |
| project delivered at a rate of one for 50. So as the project, as we developed, they would be brought into the project as well. It | 01:02:06 | |
| has a provision in here for the city to basically request us to have teachers and 1st responders is first on the list. So if we | 01:02:11 | |
| have a waiting list and there's a teacher and a first responder on it, they would they would have first dibs at the affordable | 01:02:17 | |
| housing. | 01:02:22 | |
| And just to note that 100% of this housing is. | 01:02:29 | |
| Is by 8 you know by HUD standards market rate attainable workforce housing, right This isn't or none of the rates are going to be | 01:02:31 | |
| at over work phase workforce achievability to be able to to live and stay here. | 01:02:38 | |
| So we think this is this is just important to contribute. It's not a hard requirement for this area, but we have offered it as as | 01:02:49 | |
| something that's meaningful. | 01:02:54 | |
| I don't know that we need to go into all of this, the construction phasing. | 01:03:02 | |
| We've talked about open space. Phasing would be built out along with any vertical development that's consistent with what we | 01:03:06 | |
| submitted in the first quarter. Sustainability is going to be a focus. We're going to look at all of those best practices. | 01:03:13 | |
| From, you know, solar provisioning to the kind of energy that we use within the development, water wise landscaping will be a | 01:03:20 | |
| major focus for us. | 01:03:26 | |
| We talked about height thoroughly that that came up. So I think I think that covers that. | 01:03:33 | |
| And then the last is just the phase one timeline. If we, you know, get through an entitlement and a development agreement this | 01:03:39 | |
| this quarter you asked, you know, what would this, what, what could the schedule be? And yeah, we would move to try to bring site | 01:03:44 | |
| plans, you know, into middle of. | 01:03:49 | |
| You know in the second quarter or so of for this phase one, bring a bring a site plan for approval. | 01:03:56 | |
| And then everything would kind of phase from there based on on that phasing diagram they saw so. | 01:04:02 | |
| We're excited. We think it will be high quality, attractive again, this entertainment block and this idea of we're bringing | 01:04:08 | |
| commercial that is just going to be a fun place for people to go and be able to hang out and bring bring people. | 01:04:15 | |
| From the surrounding area to enjoy Vineyard as well. So we're we're excited about it. We're open to collaboration and more | 01:04:23 | |
| discussion, but we do look forward to presenting in the coming weeks for, you know, a request for approval. | 01:04:31 | |
| All right. Thanks, Steve. | 01:04:41 | |
| All your questions and then we'll get to them. So if you have a question, come up here, state your name and I'll write down your | 01:05:14 | |
| questions. | 01:05:17 | |
| Hello Daria Evans, the Vineyard resident. | 01:05:27 | |
| As I was looking at those slides, I noticed at the end it mentioned asking the RDA possibly for 10% more to upscale the | 01:05:31 | |
| entertainment anchor and I'm wondering what that might entail and why we would ask the redevelopment agency to fund up scaling | 01:05:37 | |
| their development. | 01:05:44 | |
| No, no, not yet. I'm going to write down everything. | 01:05:58 | |
| Any other questions? | 01:06:02 | |
| Tim Heaton. | 01:06:13 | |
| In sleepy rich. | 01:06:14 | |
| So I'd be curious with that license plate technology that you were talking about? | 01:06:17 | |
| Earlier, I suppose someone is found to have. | 01:06:23 | |
| Violated the the parking structures? What? What types of enforcement mechanisms? | 01:06:28 | |
| Would be employed to prevent that. | 01:06:34 | |
| Also for time limited parking on the streets. | 01:06:40 | |
| Is is there? | 01:06:45 | |
| Are there any thoughts at this point for for the lengths of time that would be? I know that's a small question, I'm just curious | 01:06:47 | |
| about it. Also, are there any considerations for making those spots be paid or is it just. | 01:06:54 | |
| First come first serve free, and if you're there too long then that's a problem. | 01:07:03 | |
| I maybe I missed this earlier, but. | 01:07:10 | |
| Is there is the height of the buildings in the center higher than the proposed? Higher than the ones on the outside? | 01:07:14 | |
| Maybe. Maybe that was answered here, but I'm not sure. | 01:07:23 | |
| And it sounded, it sounded to me like there were. | 01:07:31 | |
| That there were requests for already a money for. | 01:07:35 | |
| For parking as well. Maybe I misunderstood that, but if that's the case, how how much money by percentage or by total quantities | 01:07:39 | |
| being requested? And what is the logic for for having Vineyard front that money for that purpose? | 01:07:47 | |
| Thanks, Tim. | 01:07:57 | |
| Can I ask a question about? You got to do it at the. | 01:08:02 | |
| Zones. Both zones. | 01:08:06 | |
| What's happening on both sides of the tracks? We're not talking about the Utah City stuff right now, if that's what you're | 01:08:10 | |
| referring to. OK. Yeah, sorry. Just we're talking about the forge right now. Yeah, sorry. | 01:08:15 | |
| Yes, yeah. | 01:08:28 | |
| So I'm Sarah Cameron just. | 01:08:32 | |
| Just the. | 01:08:35 | |
| Concern about one parking stall per unit. Most of those units probably will have a couple of married couples, so why not consider | 01:08:36 | |
| 2 per unit to begin with and just avoid the future problem? So just to consider. Thanks. | 01:08:45 | |
| Yeah, Jake Holdaway resident. Yeah, I just met with so many HOA presidents that and leadership about how they have full time jobs | 01:09:01 | |
| and developers throwing the responsibility to enforcement, enforcement on that and how they just, it's too difficult for them to | 01:09:10 | |
| go through and do that. And we live really close to a, you know, UVU and BYU. | 01:09:18 | |
| And we need to expect students to take a majority. I mean a very large section of these. And you know, students tend to have a car | 01:09:27 | |
| each and students tend to say, hey, you know what, that's a 12 by 12 room I. | 01:09:33 | |
| You know that that could be two beds, so that's six cars. And having that enforcement on the HOA is just and that that's really | 01:09:42 | |
| what gets it affordable, right? | 01:09:46 | |
| Is slamming in there and So what percentage could we do a study or slow it down to find out what percentage of students would live | 01:09:53 | |
| there if we can kind of understand the the the residents that would want to live here because that that makes it affordable for | 01:09:59 | |
| students right and and and being welcoming there and then also multi generational. | 01:10:05 | |
| And we have a lot of minority families that love to live here in Vineyard. We want to be welcoming to them. And so many of them | 01:10:12 | |
| view housing of saying, hey, you know what, let's let let's let's rent out that place for mother-in-law. | 01:10:18 | |
| Be able to get in there. And so I'm really concerned about the parking requirement on this one. | 01:10:24 | |
| Any other questions? | 01:10:33 | |
| Last chance. | 01:10:38 | |
| Chip Price, I have a question about the the, the elevation, the facade of the buildings that are going to be lining 8th N, Are | 01:10:46 | |
| those going to be the total elevation or are they going to be like a staggered with like balconies and so it doesn't look like a | 01:10:52 | |
| giant block? | 01:10:59 | |
| Sitting on the side of the road. | 01:11:06 | |
| Cool, thanks. | 01:11:08 | |
| Alright, anymore. | 01:11:12 | |
| OK. We'll get into the questions then as far as the RDA money. | 01:11:14 | |
| Is not something. | 01:11:21 | |
| Staff as far as using RDA money for an anchor I guess. | 01:11:24 | |
| That's that's also going to be, I guess, defined by what the anchor is. I can't answer questions for what the RDA and Steve just | 01:11:29 | |
| really quick might be helpful if you pull back up the, the the map and then we'll probably have to bounce between that and the | 01:11:35 | |
| renderings. There's a few kind of architectural type questions and things. | 01:11:41 | |
| So that's full discretion of the RDA. Simply putting it in there as an opportunity in some of our negotiations with one of the | 01:11:47 | |
| entertainment anchors, they specifically asked for that. They asked for that everywhere they go, they typically ask for a lot more | 01:11:52 | |
| and they typically get a lot more. | 01:11:56 | |
| And so we were just trying to provision to say, look, this is outside of us as a developer. This is really about between that | 01:12:02 | |
| business and the city, right? And the quality of that anchor and it's RDA says, look, the sales tax, that's going to be amazing. | 01:12:08 | |
| It's going to bring economic development to the area. It's an option. And that's that's all it is. It's full discretion of the | 01:12:14 | |
| RDA. Is it something that we need to have in the development agreement? Is it? | 01:12:20 | |
| Not typically. And I should note also that state laws changed on retail incentives and so there is not as much flexibility now as | 01:12:27 | |
| there used to be in the past for the use of RDA funds for retail uses. OK, so. | 01:12:35 | |
| I don't know that I view that as a topic that needs to be addressed in the development agreement, unless you wish to limit it | 01:12:43 | |
| somehow. Yeah, I, I don't think that it needs to be something that's in the development agreement. And I would say that's not the | 01:12:49 | |
| discretion of the RDA. And then with, I guess what we're talking about, RDA, RDA for parking. Again, that's something with the | 01:12:55 | |
| RDA. | 01:13:00 | |
| Is that? | 01:13:09 | |
| Something that needs to be in the development agreement. | 01:13:10 | |
| Well, you have two levers the way the development agreement is drafted now you have two levers to address the parking issue. I'm | 01:13:15 | |
| heartened by the comment about multi generational housing. I do think that's something to consider and think about when you write | 01:13:23 | |
| this kind of agreement because if you place limits, sometimes they can apply inadvertently to those types of households, but. | 01:13:31 | |
| The two lovers you have that are in the agreement right now are occupancy caps. | 01:13:40 | |
| And then the parking management plan, all the details of the parking management plan are not established in the development | 01:13:44 | |
| agreement, but the city has a role in developing that plan. And what it basically requires is that they hire a parking expert. | 01:13:50 | |
| That expert makes a report, we review the report, use the report to the developer, uses the report to craft the parking management | 01:13:57 | |
| plan, and then the city would review it and bless it. | 01:14:03 | |
| Once it's done. So we don't know right now until we get that report and have more details about the phasing. | 01:14:10 | |
| Specifics of the site and the buildings. | 01:14:18 | |
| What the exact parking needs will be? | 01:14:21 | |
| There you can, in a development agreement put in things like parking minimums and maximums. And I think what those are and what | 01:14:24 | |
| you wish them to be as both a function of what's in the code and what your policy priorities are as a Planning Commission, as a | 01:14:32 | |
| City Council. And so it's not my role really to tell you what they ought not not to be, but that those are the ways that you can | 01:14:39 | |
| address it within the development agreement. | 01:14:46 | |
| Where the agreements written right now is. | 01:14:54 | |
| The city has a right to enforce against the property owner if they run afoul of either the parking management plan or the | 01:14:58 | |
| occupancy limits, but the primary responsibility for managing both of those things on a day-to-day level resides with the owners | 01:15:04 | |
| of the property. And typically that's Visa V the homeowners association. OK. I guess something that I do appreciate with parking | 01:15:11 | |
| is that you're adding extra parking from the get go. | 01:15:18 | |
| That will be. | 01:15:26 | |
| Either used and if it's not used then you'll have a better idea of the next Phase I I was curious with the next phase if. | 01:15:28 | |
| If that parking is being totally used in the first phase. | 01:15:35 | |
| Is it going to be upped for the next phase then? Because with our current downtown development, we're doing a parking study every | 01:15:40 | |
| 500 units and if they're under parked then they have to compensate in the next phase of their development. | 01:15:47 | |
| Remember how that's written for sure. I know I have to cure deficiencies from the plan, right? If people aren't aren't following | 01:15:55 | |
| the plan, I don't. I don't recall how we wrote that. | 01:16:00 | |
| That requirements not in the development agreement right now. I'd like the idea you could you could just refresh the parking study | 01:16:06 | |
| and the parking management plan. | 01:16:10 | |
| Based on information learned from phase one, yeah. And apply that Phase two. Yeah, that's something I would wanna see in the in | 01:16:14 | |
| the development plan. Yeah, I know at one time it was directed, so I'll have to go back and look. | 01:16:22 | |
| Then I guess while we're still talking about parking. | 01:16:32 | |
| Do you have an idea and can we put this in the development agreement of how this will be enforced if people? | 01:16:38 | |
| Our parking in areas like you were talking about and they're being tracked on their license plates. As far as how specific are you | 01:16:46 | |
| asking? Like you get a warning and then you get, you know, 2 warnings and you get towed. Are you, are you looking at that kind of | 01:16:52 | |
| specific or yeah, maybe we don't need to because it already says it's got to be monitored. It already said you're going to have to | 01:16:57 | |
| have a permit. So. | 01:17:03 | |
| Again. | 01:17:40 | |
| I think the bones and the structures there to have that discussion in a meaningful way already requiring to say you're going to | 01:18:13 | |
| enforce, tell me how you're going to do it meaningfully. Yeah. OK, cool. Thank you. | 01:18:18 | |
| And then do you have renderings by chance of what it will look like from the 800 N side? | 01:18:25 | |
| So I think the best this was, this was a large discussion in one of the subcommittees. | 01:18:31 | |
| The reason you see this articulation here is because we're trying to prevent that solid urban wall. If you recall in in the first | 01:18:37 | |
| quarter plan there was multi family here. So we reduced it by you know these three blocks were all kind of that same four or five | 01:18:45 | |
| story multi family type building. And so this adds a lot of variety by bringing it down to one story and brings that wall a lot | 01:18:52 | |
| smaller. But these deep articulations create that and then the the concept here isn't shown. | 01:19:00 | |
| Perfectly anywhere but you saw in this plan how you saw some four story or you know, some step downs. | 01:19:08 | |
| Around Oops. | 01:19:15 | |
| Around the garage this will probably be taller and then this section around here it would be a story or two lower. | 01:19:17 | |
| In the middle. So you'll see height difference, you'll see depth difference and you'll see finishes that are different. And then | 01:19:26 | |
| in aggregate we've reduced it by, you know, 3033%. So there was a lot of thought put into how to make that. There was a comment | 01:19:31 | |
| about balconies. The current code has quite a bit of requirements around. | 01:19:37 | |
| How much glass we have to put there, the change of materials and finishes like what you see when you drive parts down parts of | 01:19:44 | |
| interconnector. It wouldn't be allowed even by the code today. Like you guys could reject that site plan outright for not meeting | 01:19:50 | |
| code. It's going to have to have some interest in it. So cool. And then just real quick, what do you know what the height of those | 01:19:56 | |
| two buildings is about? So the 600. | 01:20:02 | |
| And so each of these. | 01:20:09 | |
| Buildings could be like 300 units and so if that were the case and that's that's how it ultimately ends up, this would be like 5 | 01:20:12 | |
| stories around the garage and then this would be 4 stories over here drop down. So anything more would exceed our limit of of | 01:20:17 | |
| units. | 01:20:22 | |
| And then? | 01:20:31 | |
| As far as like students and stuff, I mean, that all comes down to how you're managing it. What Jake was asking is the amount of | 01:20:33 | |
| students or the amount of people that live there. That's all just part of it. Yeah, I feel like our proposed solution addresses | 01:20:39 | |
| specifically that comment and that you can't put 6 singles in there. | 01:20:44 | |
| Without having 6 parking stalls for the agreement. Yeah. So so we can accommodate student housing, we just have to provide the | 01:20:51 | |
| parking for it. OK. And then this is something I'd like to see maybe in the development agreement, but I would like to see it | 01:20:57 | |
| citywide, if it's even possible or legal. So this is gonna be a question for you, Jamie, is when people sign rental agreements or | 01:21:03 | |
| lease agreements that it's required for them to sign a paper that says, I have this many parking stalls, is that something that we | 01:21:09 | |
| could legally do? | 01:21:15 | |
| I mean, it just says that they've seen it. They know how many they have. | 01:21:21 | |
| Yeah, there there's a few different ways you can do it and it. | 01:21:26 | |
| There's choices you would be able to make depending on how heavy-handed you wanted to be as a city government or or how. | 01:21:31 | |
| You'd like to enforce it? How? | 01:21:39 | |
| These are most often included in covenants that are recorded against the property. And then it's presumed that the notice people | 01:21:41 | |
| get are the covenants. Where that falls short is people that rent don't ever look at the CNR, right? They're not doing a title | 01:21:49 | |
| report. They're not looking at that kind of information that you would if you were buying. So you could require that there be | 01:21:56 | |
| disclosure, you could require that of the HOA or the CCNRS, You could do a citywide ordinance that would require. | 01:22:03 | |
| Some kind of parking or occupancy disclosure when you do a lease, you can require a signage or posting or those kind of things. So | 01:22:11 | |
| short answer is there's a lot of tools available to you to do it. Long answer is you'll want to roll up your sleeves and consider | 01:22:17 | |
| what, what is the best fit and how to tailor that to what the problem is that you're trying to solve. Cool. I, I think that's | 01:22:23 | |
| something we should have as a discussion for the city. That's not a requirement for you. I just, I think that that's something | 01:22:29 | |
| that we should definitely. | 01:22:35 | |
| Like be thinking about and talking about and implementing. | 01:22:41 | |
| Yeah, we, we are doing that parking master plan that's this analyzing city is going to look at those types of strategies. So that | 01:22:47 | |
| that could be something that we could, we could ask the consultants to look at how they expect to work. Yeah, I think that would | 01:22:53 | |
| benefit a lot of people cuz I think people move here and they expect like, hey, I can park here. And then they sign a lease | 01:22:59 | |
| agreement and they find out that they actually don't have a place where they can park. And if people know up front, I think that. | 01:23:05 | |
| Would solve a lot of issues. | 01:23:12 | |
| Um, OK, um. | 01:23:15 | |
| And then again, Sarah, with A2 per unit with it being one, it's just going to come down to how they're managing it. And if it's | 01:23:21 | |
| being over parked, then they're going to have to address that in the future and they are doing it was 15 to 20% more parking | 01:23:27 | |
| spaces in that first phase, so. | 01:23:33 | |
| Yeah. Is there any other questions from anyone on the Commission? | 01:23:41 | |
| No, OK. | 01:23:45 | |
| So, just to reiterate a couple of things. Umm. | 01:23:47 | |
| With the definition of that anchor, I think is super important when we've considered. | 01:23:53 | |
| Other areas in Vineyard where we've upped the residential or changed the zoning for the residential, they've had a very. | 01:24:01 | |
| A very solid definition of we're bringing this if we can up the residential in this area. So if you can have a more solid | 01:24:10 | |
| definition of what an anchor is as to why the city should be considering. | 01:24:16 | |
| Upping residential. | 01:24:24 | |
| And also adding something in it as far as privacy in the development and. | 01:24:27 | |
| Sorry, I'm looking through here. | 01:24:39 | |
| I know there's something I wrote down the bus stops in transit and then some umbrella for HOA management. Some those are the four | 01:24:46 | |
| that I have. Entertainment, entertainment anchor definition, HOA management, privacy and then they bust up great. | 01:24:54 | |
| All right, cool. Thank you so much Steven. Thank you kind of crappy for anybody that go through, but we appreciate that you came | 01:25:03 | |
| here to I think it'll help make the public hearing go a little bit smoother before we're done. Does anybody else from our team | 01:25:10 | |
| have, did I miss anything that needs to be brought up differently? Okay, thank you Steve. | 01:25:16 | |
| Since we've got an hour and a half right now, it might be good just to call like a quick 5 minute break between items. That way we | 01:25:25 | |
| can kind of we we can get set up and then a lot of people go. So, yeah, all right. | 01:25:30 | |
| Do I need to make? Do we need to make a motion to do a 5 minute break? | 01:25:36 | |
| No, all right, we'll just take 5 minute break. If you want to use the bathroom, go get a drink or something. | 01:25:40 | |
| All right. | 01:26:07 | |
| We're going to get back moving into things. We're moving on to 2.3, the site plan for the aquatic facility. | 01:26:10 | |
| Sorry guys, if you have conversations that you're trying to have, could you please have them outside of the room while we go | 01:26:19 | |
| through this? | 01:26:22 | |
| Yeah, please. Thanks. | 01:26:26 | |
| I. | 01:26:30 | |
| Swab, Anthony teed up. And then we'll turn the time over. | 01:26:45 | |
| OK. To the applicants to, I thought you were ready, Anthony. | 01:26:49 | |
| Hi, so my name is Anthony Fletcher and. | 01:27:09 | |
| I'm a planner. I am here to present the. | 01:27:13 | |
| Item 2.3, which is a site plan for the aquatic facility. So Flagboro is proposing to. | 01:27:17 | |
| Build an aquatic facility within the Lake Promenade area in downtown. | 01:27:28 | |
| And. | 01:27:35 | |
| My way of location. | 01:27:38 | |
| It is going to be in that spot that's being highlighted red. | 01:27:41 | |
| So that entire site plan for the promenade was? | 01:27:45 | |
| Approved earlier this year August 2nd. | 01:27:50 | |
| And. | 01:27:54 | |
| The whole plan is to have. | 01:27:56 | |
| The product center built in block five of the promenade, which is going to be somewhere around this area where I have the mouse | 01:28:02 | |
| cursor. | 01:28:06 | |
| So the project site. | 01:28:15 | |
| Is going to be located within the northeastern side of. | 01:28:17 | |
| Block 5 highlighted in red. | 01:28:23 | |
| Right there in the promenade area. | 01:28:27 | |
| So at this point, I'll just turn it over to Bronson with Flagborough to go over the space programming and many of us regarding | 01:28:32 | |
| this proposed project. OK, great. Thank you. | 01:28:39 | |
| Is the green light on? | 01:28:49 | |
| Oh, is it on? You're good. I think it is going on it it catches. | 01:28:51 | |
| Thanks for the introduction, Anthony. Yeah, my name is Bronson with the developer. And like you said, we came in and got the full | 01:28:56 | |
| site plan approval on all of the Lake Promenade. And when we came in, if you go back, just a slide, Anthony, the six blocks that | 01:29:03 | |
| make up the promenade went through that site plan and got approved on this Block 5. We had a note that this would be the pool | 01:29:10 | |
| location. | 01:29:16 | |
| And we noted that we'll come back. | 01:29:24 | |
| For that approval and that's what we're coming back for today. | 01:29:26 | |
| So we'll just so everything kind of outside that red line is all still proposed as it was during the previous site plan approval | 01:29:30 | |
| with the exception of just one element that we'll go over and I'll show you what that is so. | 01:29:38 | |
| This is the just the general concept bubble diagram of kind of what we're proposing to do so on the South if we just kind of. | 01:29:48 | |
| I'll just remind you of what we're looking at doing in the park space and kind of give you the context there. So that's the large | 01:30:00 | |
| event lawn, that large green Oval and there's there was a proposed sidewalk that kind of split this space into two. So the large | 01:30:06 | |
| event line with a large pavilion to the right hand side. | 01:30:12 | |
| Actually, do you think your mouse will work over here? | 01:30:21 | |
| There we go. OK, so this here is the event LON, the pavilion down here, that would be the stage for the event one. And then this | 01:30:29 | |
| is the sidewalk that kind of split the space into two. So this is the aquatic facility that we're proposing this is. | 01:30:39 | |
| A building structure on this edge. So it's kind of this L shape. There's essentially 3 spaces. This this space down here is a | 01:30:50 | |
| restaurant. | 01:30:55 | |
| And it has essentially three sides to the restaurant. So you have like the street side service people could come in, sit down and | 01:31:00 | |
| eat or pick up their food to go. You get the the Parkside access to the restaurant and then also the from the pool side you get | 01:31:09 | |
| access to the restaurant. The next space up to the north is on the bottom floor. | 01:31:17 | |
| All of these these. | 01:31:27 | |
| Spaces are two-story, so the restaurant will, you know, have dining on the bottom and there will be a mezzanine at on the second | 01:31:29 | |
| level and outdoor seating on the on the deck. And then the the central space is on the lower level. It'll be the main entrance. | 01:31:37 | |
| You can see this little star here. There's this kind of gateway entrance in. | 01:31:44 | |
| And on the lower level is that'll be where you know you'll check in, buy your ticket into the facility. And then behind that are | 01:31:53 | |
| the locker rooms and showers and changing area on the 2nd floor. It's an event space. | 01:32:02 | |
| This area up here on the north is a is being proposed as a spa. So the that that's also a two-story feature. So you have kind of | 01:32:13 | |
| your spa lobby on the bottom floor, on the on the ground floor with some of the treatment rooms on the bottom floor and then on | 01:32:22 | |
| the top floor additional treatment rooms and then you spill out into this upper. | 01:32:30 | |
| Terrace up in this area. | 01:32:39 | |
| So as you as you come in through the main entry and get your admission in, this is the the main pool area. | 01:32:41 | |
| That's got a bunch of little pockets and and loungers and everything all around this. And we'll see it a little bit better in the | 01:32:52 | |
| site plan. And then over here on this side is kind of the kids pool area. There's like a smaller kids pool area and an older kids | 01:32:57 | |
| pool area. | 01:33:03 | |
| And then this building here kind of divides the two. It'll be transparent, it'll be able to see through it. But the South side of | 01:33:09 | |
| this building is a concession stand that's accessible from from the park and from the pools. So we imagine that the restaurant | 01:33:17 | |
| will be making the food and then the concessions is like a quick serve area. | 01:33:24 | |
| And then behind that, there's additional restrooms, showers and lockers in this space. | 01:33:33 | |
| And then the the area that kind of spills outside of the controlled aquatic facility is the splash pad area. The splash pad area | 01:33:41 | |
| will have access to the restrooms that are already proposed in the park and then an additional seating area outside here. And then | 01:33:47 | |
| there will be another pavilion that was already proposed in the previous plan with tables and chairs and everything underneath | 01:33:54 | |
| that. | 01:34:01 | |
| So that's kind of that's the general layout conceptually. | 01:34:08 | |
| And let's go down to the more detailed plan. This is just kind of circulation. | 01:34:13 | |
| The different entrances, the primary entrance, the spa entrance and then another entrance here from the Parkside if. | 01:34:20 | |
| If there's users of the aquatic facility, they want to come out and use the splash pad, there's that easy access through this | 01:34:30 | |
| controlled access. | 01:34:34 | |
| And then this is the second floor layout. | 01:34:44 | |
| This is the the the quiet pool area up in on this level, so you know, kind of adjacent to the spa area. This is proposes that | 01:34:50 | |
| quiet pool. | 01:34:55 | |
| And then cabanas and seating and everything around that space. | 01:35:02 | |
| These are just some conceptual elevations on, you know, if the park is at like a zero elevation, it'll it'll be sloping this way | 01:35:08 | |
| to the to the main pavilion so that this event line is kind of sloping to that pavilion. But in general, if this is 0, they may | 01:35:13 | |
| step up. | 01:35:19 | |
| Into the main pool area and the kids pool area. And then we there's a large step, you know, a second story for the quiet pool area | 01:35:25 | |
| to the to the north. | 01:35:31 | |
| And these are some elevations that kind of depict that. | 01:35:38 | |
| Change. So this is the part over here. | 01:35:42 | |
| Let me go up here and see if the. | 01:35:45 | |
| Elevation or the section lines are drawn, doesn't look like they are, so I'll just kind of point them out. So that top one is just | 01:35:48 | |
| kind of cut through. | 01:35:52 | |
| Right here. | 01:35:58 | |
| So here you can see that. | 01:36:02 | |
| Upper terrace of the quiet pool area. | 01:36:04 | |
| And then the general pool area, this is the street to the north, and this is the park to the South. Oh, here's the sections right | 01:36:09 | |
| here. Sorry. | 01:36:13 | |
| So now we're looking at this section on the bottom is cutting east to West through the through the pool facility looking north. | 01:36:19 | |
| So this would be like the. | 01:36:30 | |
| The street off to the right, I think that's 3rd Ave. and the restaurant, the building, the two level building. Actually this would | 01:36:33 | |
| be a little more like the spa area, the quiet pool up above and then it goes down over to the kid kid pool area over here. And | 01:36:40 | |
| then this is the park off here to the left. | 01:36:48 | |
| These are just some of the things we were thinking about as we were putting this together. The views of the mountains, the | 01:37:01 | |
| relationship with the event lawn on all of the seating area. | 01:37:06 | |
| And how we can kind of make that a multi seasonal opportunity with the way we're facing the seating opening up to the park here in | 01:37:12 | |
| the middle, the different aspects of the splash pad. | 01:37:18 | |
| And then the kids pool and then looking at some of these, these strong access points through the site. These are kind of your | 01:37:27 | |
| sight lines as you come in through the main entrance. You know, we're thinking about what are you looking at as you look across | 01:37:32 | |
| the pool and looking at a focal point of some sort on this end, as you come out of the spa, what are you looking at? What are your | 01:37:38 | |
| views? | 01:37:43 | |
| That kind of thing. | 01:37:49 | |
| And then here's the overall site plan rendering. | 01:37:51 | |
| And then the kind of the. | 01:37:56 | |
| The legend over there with the keynotes. | 01:37:58 | |
| OK, so this is level one kind of floor plan layout. | 01:38:10 | |
| Again, lower level restaurant space this this area that's. | 01:38:18 | |
| I don't know what this color is. Beige is kind of your second level like deck area up above. So it's covered. The main entrance is | 01:38:25 | |
| covered and we'll see that in some of the renderings. And then here are your. | 01:38:31 | |
| Restrooms, men's and women's restrooms and lockers and showers and then the spa area and then the lower, the lower level of the | 01:38:39 | |
| quiet pool is like all of the mechanical, mechanical, electrical equipment will be all housed. | 01:38:47 | |
| In here. | 01:38:55 | |
| That will service all the pools and the splash pad. | 01:38:57 | |
| And then the second level. | 01:39:04 | |
| The event the the terrace of the restaurant. | 01:39:09 | |
| Umm, additional restrooms and the event space up here, and then the spa. You're seeing some of the layout of the treatment rooms | 01:39:13 | |
| up here. | 01:39:18 | |
| Up here in the quiet pool area, there's a cold plunge, like some hydrotherapy cold plunge jacuzzi spa. | 01:39:23 | |
| We anticipate this upper level will be heated through through the winter so this this portion would be open throughout the winter. | 01:39:34 | |
| These are cabanas along here on the north. | 01:39:39 | |
| And then this feature and kind of hot tub on the. | 01:39:45 | |
| On the West End of the pool with a shade pavilion and then stairs going down from the quiet pool down to the main pool area and | 01:39:51 | |
| then stairs right here as well. | 01:39:56 | |
| From the lower level to the upper level. | 01:40:03 | |
| And then? | 01:40:08 | |
| We'll go to the elevation so you can see those elevations. So this is from 3rd Ave. looking West. | 01:40:11 | |
| So this is the main entrance in. | 01:40:21 | |
| We check in to get in. This is the restaurant building and that mezzanine outdoor eating space. The restaurant or the event space | 01:40:25 | |
| on the upper level here. All your blockers and restrooms behind the wall here. | 01:40:33 | |
| These windows are are on a hallway so that we can have, you know, some of that transparency out on the street. | 01:40:43 | |
| But there will be, you know, a privacy wall behind that and then the spa over here on this edge and the entrance over into the spa | 01:40:50 | |
| area. | 01:40:54 | |
| And then here's our North and South elevation. So this is from the park. This is what you're seeing. This is the restaurant | 01:41:01 | |
| building. This is the north side of the building looking South. | 01:41:08 | |
| So this is the spa areas just behind this wall. | 01:41:17 | |
| And then this is the elevation from the main pool area, looking back to the building. Here's the restaurant on this side, the main | 01:41:25 | |
| entrance into the pool, the event space up above. | 01:41:30 | |
| And then the spa up above. So what you're not seeing is that terrace, the quiet pool terrace. That's kind of this volume right | 01:41:35 | |
| here. | 01:41:39 | |
| And then those elevations just modeled in 3D. | 01:41:47 | |
| So the restaurant side, so the main event loans here, the pavilion kind of the stage area would be right here and this would be | 01:41:55 | |
| flanking that side of the. | 01:42:00 | |
| The park. | 01:42:08 | |
| Here's your main entrance in. | 01:42:10 | |
| And then this is the northeast corner, the spa corner. | 01:42:22 | |
| Is the quiet pool area running down the street and then. | 01:42:27 | |
| Event space here, restrooms and lockers behind that wall, restaurant down that way. | 01:42:32 | |
| There's that quiet pool. | 01:42:42 | |
| Area up above. | 01:42:44 | |
| We'll get into some of the landscape. So these are, we're looking more at the building right now, but we'll get into the landscape | 01:42:46 | |
| renderings where you're going to see kind of all of the different site furniture in the landscaping that's planned. So these are. | 01:42:53 | |
| These are not finished. These are just, we're just mostly focused on the building here. | 01:43:00 | |
| And also like the layout of the pools. | 01:43:06 | |
| This is the concessions area. | 01:43:17 | |
| And then the second restroom area, it's kind of it's splitting the main pool area and the kids pool area. | 01:43:20 | |
| So we're like, we're looking from the park. | 01:43:28 | |
| To the North East. | 01:43:32 | |
| And here's the concessions building, that restroom, here's the upper terrace, the quiet pool area. So we're looking at the main, | 01:43:37 | |
| the main pool area down below. | 01:43:42 | |
| This is the concept of the spa area. This, this corner here would be a staircase with a large window. So there's, you know, | 01:43:50 | |
| visibility in. | 01:43:55 | |
| To that space from the street. | 01:44:00 | |
| And now we're getting into some of the landscape stuff. So the consultants we've been working with, we're working with two teams | 01:44:05 | |
| of consultants. So this is EDSA who did the waterfront master plan and then the architect is FFKR. So now when we're in the | 01:44:12 | |
| landscaping, these buildings are just placeholders over here on the right. So we were just looking at the elevation. So these are | 01:44:19 | |
| not, these are just placeholders while the landscape architect is exploring kind of their 3D model, so. | 01:44:26 | |
| Just put that caveat out there. So this is this is like the landscape. | 01:44:34 | |
| Scheme that we're proposing the landscape areas. | 01:44:39 | |
| I think later in the presentation we have landscape materials and pallets. Can you have trees that close to a pool? | 01:44:43 | |
| Yes, but they do require maintenance of like getting the leads out, of course. I mean, not even the leads, the roots, Yeah, and | 01:44:50 | |
| they're all being protected. So the OK root's not making it to the pool water. OK, so. | 01:44:56 | |
| I wish. | 01:45:05 | |
| Yep. So here you're seeing, so we're looking from the South side, looking north. | 01:45:10 | |
| Now we're north looking South. | 01:45:19 | |
| So here's the main pool area down below the quiet pool, up above the kids pool to the West. | 01:45:21 | |
| The the main pool. | 01:45:35 | |
| We're proposing A0 entry from the on the main entrance side 0 entry just means you're coming in and you know, there's no step | 01:45:38 | |
| down. It's just, it rolls down and it's sloping down to deeper water. And then here's you're seeing some of these little pockets | 01:45:44 | |
| that that we created this. I took some of these slides out because I didn't want to get too long, wouldn't it? Which I, I maybe I | 01:45:50 | |
| already am because Pete has to talk to, but some of the ideas of the inspiration behind some of the forms you're seeing is the ice | 01:45:56 | |
| on. | 01:46:02 | |
| And the fractal ice, you know, the shards of ice that are out there, that's why you're seeing some of these shapes in this main | 01:46:08 | |
| pool and the kids pool areas. They come from that kind of that fractal ice idea. | 01:46:14 | |
| So different views from different areas here on the up, up above in the quiet pool area. So this is coming out of the spa. This | 01:46:26 | |
| would be your view looking West. | 01:46:31 | |
| This is from up above, kind of that sawtooth edge of the upper quiet pool, looking down on the lower pool in the park beyond. | 01:46:38 | |
| This is the pool or the SPA exit and entrance and exit and the. | 01:46:49 | |
| The cold plunge and and. | 01:46:55 | |
| And because the area, there's another, I think these are two other spa areas, hot tubs. | 01:46:58 | |
| And then this is looking back toward the this is the spa building here. So this is that other, this is the shade pergola up above | 01:47:06 | |
| the hot tub on the West End of the quiet pool. | 01:47:12 | |
| And then the cabanas there on the left. | 01:47:18 | |
| So this is the main pool. | 01:47:23 | |
| We're kind of standing at the. | 01:47:26 | |
| Over at the entrance, like you've just walked through the entrance and this is kind of your view. | 01:47:29 | |
| Out along the. | 01:47:34 | |
| Oh, no, sorry. We're looking back. Yeah, this little key here. So we're looking E back to where I don't think this building is | 01:47:36 | |
| just the placeholder. | 01:47:41 | |
| So this you'd be looking kind of out to the street through that opening. | 01:47:46 | |
| Is there any kind of deep end? | 01:47:51 | |
| Yeah, like in the middle is deeper. | 01:47:54 | |
| How, how deep I think we're, it doesn't get like, I think we're like 5 feet. I don't know that we've got into that detail yet, but | 01:47:56 | |
| 5-6 feet, yeah, there would not be any typing. | 01:48:01 | |
| OK. I think I think we're getting closer. Here's kind of that flex space of, you know, I was talking about how this relates with | 01:48:15 | |
| the park. This is the park over here on the left, the event run, the splash pad in the distance and we've got fire pits planned | 01:48:21 | |
| like these little seating areas off the side of the pool that are kind of that transition zone between park and pool. So is is | 01:48:26 | |
| this going to be gated or where is the gate or where is the fence going to be on this is Yeah. So this is elevated and there will | 01:48:32 | |
| probably be if. | 01:48:38 | |
| The full 6 feet on the, you know, the elevation change, there will be a fence to get to that so that when you're in the park | 01:48:44 | |
| there's a six foot barrier to get into the pool area. So this is part of the pool area? Yep. | 01:48:50 | |
| I think that that's the kids pool area. So here you're seeing the younger kids, it's much shallower, a little bit deeper in the | 01:49:01 | |
| older kid area and then the cabanas along the edge. | 01:49:06 | |
| Looking back the other way on the kids Polaris. So here's your concessions building and your other restroom and a cabanas on the | 01:49:16 | |
| left. | 01:49:20 | |
| And then this is the splash pad area. | 01:49:27 | |
| So kind of the difference between like the younger kid area and the pool area and the splash pad is the there's no lifeguard on | 01:49:31 | |
| the splash pad. The water is not deep enough. They would trigger a lifeguard. | 01:49:36 | |
| There is a little bit of depth on the water because it's kind of. | 01:49:42 | |
| You have these big arching jets and the water will run in a little stream condition down to this side over here. | 01:49:46 | |
| I guess you can probably see a little bit better here, but everything kind of funnels to a drain that's over here on this side. | 01:49:54 | |
| So some of the features in the splash pad are those big arching jets that are going to be making kind of this water tunnel. And | 01:50:02 | |
| then over in this area there's kind of the pop jets like the ground play type features and then the stream feature down to. | 01:50:09 | |
| The Dream. | 01:50:16 | |
| So this is on the end of that event one and then I'm sure we'll be going through the planting palette with the tree committee. We | 01:50:18 | |
| just did that on the the promenade block with OJB today. | 01:50:25 | |
| But we'll be getting that input. But this is just kind of some of the flavor, just much more natural landscaping materials that | 01:50:32 | |
| we're proposing. | 01:50:36 | |
| And around the pool area. | 01:50:41 | |
| And in the park? | 01:50:43 | |
| These are just, you know, some of the character images and I think that's my last slide. | 01:50:48 | |
| Any any questions? Got a few. OK. You had a slide on there about what was public and what was private. Could you bring that slide | 01:50:53 | |
| back? | 01:50:58 | |
| See. Just get up there. | 01:51:08 | |
| Yeah. | 01:51:15 | |
| There, there we go, There it is. | 01:51:25 | |
| Pete Evans with Flag Grill so. | 01:51:31 | |
| Bronson gets to show all the pretty pictures and talk about how the pools patterned after fractal ice. And then I get to talk | 01:51:34 | |
| about, you know, how how it all works. But there really the goal with this is we've talked about this over the last. | 01:51:42 | |
| And this was backwards to what I thought it was unrolling, sorry. The goal on this was to create a really spectacular amenity for | 01:51:50 | |
| really groups of people. So we have the people that live really near the pool in the adjacent neighborhoods. We have the people | 01:51:59 | |
| kind of in the surrounding communities and then all the Vineyard and and the idea here was in this park area to create this. | 01:52:07 | |
| Aquatic amenity that would really serve the needs of all three of those groups of people. | 01:52:15 | |
| So we have the big area at the bottom that's kind of free to everybody, that's the open park, including the splash pad and that | 01:52:20 | |
| area. And then over in this area, this is kind of that transition area where we have the concessions that are both inward and | 01:52:27 | |
| outward facing. So as you're out in the splash pad or out in the park, you know, we, we view this concession as being not like a | 01:52:34 | |
| full kitchen, but more of like. | 01:52:40 | |
| Like prepared food? | 01:52:48 | |
| Type of things and soft drinks and that kind of thing. | 01:52:50 | |
| And then at that point also there will be access control where there will be an area here that will be with membership that's for | 01:52:54 | |
| the public. And then also these are similar. They're these are. | 01:53:01 | |
| The yellow. | 01:53:10 | |
| But I mean, we're, we're, we're kind of assuming that this will be like a membership type of a structure so that you're, you're | 01:53:14 | |
| not getting like what what happens if you have like a daily use admission fee is when it's 100° outside, it's overrun. | 01:53:22 | |
| And when it's 80° outside, it's not. And so to level that out, it usually works better to have some sort of an annual or at least | 01:53:30 | |
| monthly subscription membership and that would be open to anyone in the city of Vineyard. So this is like it's pretty similar like | 01:53:37 | |
| a rec center like any, any public rec center. | 01:53:44 | |
| And then this would be with subscription, but you'd have to live in the surrounding areas within the Utah City development to be | 01:53:51 | |
| to have that the subscription for the quiet will appear. The other areas in here that are public would be just like any other | 01:54:00 | |
| public space. So restaurant space, spa space, we, we don't anticipate operating those areas we anticipate. | 01:54:09 | |
| Leasing those out to. | 01:54:19 | |
| Operators who specialize in those functions, this entire thing will operate at a break Even so this will be a nonprofit and so the | 01:54:21 | |
| any revenue that's generated from concessions, restaurant or the spa would just go to offset costs, operating costs. | 01:54:30 | |
| So let's throw that pink area. Only people that live in in Utah City, I guess, can access that. Yeah. And then they would have to | 01:54:42 | |
| also pay a different. | 01:54:48 | |
| Like it's not just open to everybody in Utah City. OK, so. | 01:54:54 | |
| OK. | 01:54:58 | |
| I just wonder because you have the spa area and then you've got like the therapeutic like pools and stuff, it seems like they're | 01:54:59 | |
| kind of, yeah, this is colored in too far. I mean, that line really should be kind of like here. Well, I mean, I mean, even if | 01:55:06 | |
| that wasn't there, it's just seems like you have the spa and then you have like a therapeutic pool and all that. That's not that | 01:55:12 | |
| is associated with the spa, but if it's not accessed by the public, it seems weird. | 01:55:18 | |
| Yeah, Yeah. I think that this when I was doing that line, I think there are. | 01:55:26 | |
| Pieces here that are part of that, like the cold plunge and that that will be accessed by the spa. OK, but then this part that the | 01:55:30 | |
| line is just drawn in the wrong spot should be drawn like right here. | 01:55:35 | |
| You know, because when you're in that therapeutic spot. | 01:55:41 | |
| There's probably some more privacy that you're going to want and everybody in the quietful area, you know, seeing the spa users | 01:55:47 | |
| over there, we've got to figure out some kind of privacy models and how that all works, OK. | 01:55:53 | |
| And we're kind of showing those that I don't know that they. | 01:56:00 | |
| How well, How well we are showing those in the memory? | 01:56:04 | |
| So ultimately, I mean, I think. | 01:56:09 | |
| I mean, it's been over a year in the making, but the goal to provide that kind of level of amenity, we're really excited about the | 01:56:12 | |
| direction this is going and kind of where this is and the architecture that's coming in and the designs. I really think this will | 01:56:19 | |
| be pretty spectacular for everybody who lives here in Vineyard. | 01:56:26 | |
| Cool. All right. I do have a few questions and stuff. As far as the bathroom for the splash pad, the kids have to cross the street | 01:56:35 | |
| to get to that bathroom. | 01:56:40 | |
| And it kind of looks like that this this is just a sidewalk that's just a side, but it's kind of colored Gray like a street. But | 01:56:46 | |
| yeah, it's just a just a wide sidewalk. Yeah. If you remember, that block is pretty big. So yeah, this park block is really big. I | 01:56:51 | |
| thought the same thing when they put this in. It looks like they're going right through. I love it. And it's just a white sidewalk | 01:56:57 | |
| trailer. | 01:57:03 | |
| Is further to the left over here, further to the left. So we have like the. | 01:57:11 | |
| There's a sports court here at that basketball. Yeah. I just wasn't sure if there was one more Rd. in there. OK. | 01:57:16 | |
| Hours like is this just opening the summer? Is this a year round thing? So this would be open in the summer and then obviously the | 01:57:24 | |
| splash pad would shut down in the winter. But then all of that area would be just kind of like the park is currently. And then the | 01:57:31 | |
| the pool area. I mean, we're we're talking to some vendors right now who do winter activities. So this could turn into something | 01:57:38 | |
| else. | 01:57:44 | |
| In the winter time. So like for example, we're talking to a group that does ice skating like temporary ice skating rinks. So they | 01:57:52 | |
| could, there's some uses we're looking at, but right now it's anticipated to be seasonal, OK. | 01:57:59 | |
| And then I guess as far as fees like how accessible will this be the Vineyard residence is this going to be? | 01:58:06 | |
| Like. | 01:58:17 | |
| We don't have the operating budget done, but but it will be a break even like we won't be and it'll actually be subsidized by the | 01:58:19 | |
| other paid uses in here like the restaurant, the concessions in the spa. And so it'll it'll actually be below cost for Vineyard | 01:58:25 | |
| residence. | 01:58:31 | |
| Yeah. OK. And then is there a reason, well, is there a reason you decided not to do the the upper pool as like? | 01:58:39 | |
| Also, I just see the stairs that go up on both sides and it seems like it it accesses the rest of the pool really easy. I'm just | 01:58:50 | |
| curious why you decided not to have that be public as well. Yeah, I mean, I think it was just a tiered structure to provide like | 01:58:56 | |
| a. | 01:59:02 | |
| You know, kind of an, I mean a lot of the the public amenities that are here are really more focused on the people who live closer | 01:59:09 | |
| anyway. And so this was just kind of acknowledging that proximity, OK, I think. | 01:59:16 | |
| That top tier of membership up on the quiet pool, they'd be able to come down and use the other pools. | 01:59:26 | |
| With like a key card, but like with your second, yeah, with your second tier, you wouldn't be able to go up to that level. So | 01:59:34 | |
| there would need to be some control in those spaces. But that's why there is access up there. OK, Yeah, yeah. Just as long as it's | 01:59:38 | |
| clear on those. | 01:59:43 | |
| That it's obviously not accessible to the public, right? Yeah. | 01:59:49 | |
| Something right, OK. Did you guys have any questions? | 01:59:55 | |
| I have a broader question. This is more about the promenade in general. We've talked about the ownership aspect of of of easement | 02:00:03 | |
| public access or ownership by the city maintaining it as there been any progress made on that, on the just the bigger actual | 02:00:09 | |
| ownership of the promenade? Yeah, I mean, I would say yes, we're still kind of working through some of the details, but this would | 02:00:15 | |
| kind of fall into that same category. | 02:00:21 | |
| Of, you know, making sure that we have an ownership, maintenance and you know, management structure. | 02:00:27 | |
| It works, but we don't know what the actual ownership yet. | 02:00:34 | |
| I don't know that. I don't know the answer other than it hasn't been established yet. Yeah, I mean, there's probably 3 main | 02:00:48 | |
| structures that we're exploring right now. So I mean, I think it'll end up one of those 3. But is it, is it important to establish | 02:00:54 | |
| that 'cause I mean, if you build more out on the promenade, like the the actual ownership? | 02:01:00 | |
| You know of that is important before you start building the facility. | 02:01:07 | |
| No, because I, I mean, I understand what you're saying, but I think that regardless of what goes in the promenade, whether it's | 02:01:13 | |
| big, medium, small, it's going to end up the same ownership structure is going to be the one that will be appropriate for | 02:01:18 | |
| regardless of the amenity level that's built. | 02:01:23 | |
| I, I think it'll end up with, I mean, the way that it's being proposed and discussed, it will end up being a mix of private | 02:02:01 | |
| ownership, public ownership and then management of the different amenities. The public places will be public places, meaning | 02:02:08 | |
| they'll be open to the public. You'll have the same rights and options that you would if you were to go to a public park or | 02:02:15 | |
| somewhere like that. | 02:02:22 | |
| It's a little layered in how things are structured just because it's not a flat development. So it's not like you're drawing a | 02:02:30 | |
| rectangle around the park and then calling that the park. You have, like you have in this site plan a mixture of things that | 02:02:35 | |
| would. | 02:02:41 | |
| You know, if you go other places in the city, you have a really clearly defined public park. You have a private clubhouse that's | 02:02:47 | |
| only available to people that live within a certain community. You have private pools that are only available to people within the | 02:02:53 | |
| same community. I think you're going to have things in this development where they're layered. And so you're going to have to have | 02:02:58 | |
| agreements that are specific to each. | 02:03:04 | |
| Particular portion of the development that will indicate who owns and controls. You know which layer of the development. | 02:03:11 | |
| Your concerns are good ones, I just don't think we're to the point and. | 02:03:19 | |
| The development process where that's all on ice quite yet. | 02:03:24 | |
| And to me, I would say that that looks like a park. So it feels like, you know, a Grove park or something like that, that it would | 02:03:30 | |
| be public, but it'd be easier to look at these things to be able to distinguish, you know, what's a city amenity that we're | 02:03:35 | |
| maintaining versus what is something Black Borough is maintaining. So any, any clarity we can bring to that as we move forward | 02:03:41 | |
| would be beneficial as we continue to do. | 02:03:47 | |
| I think you'll have answers to a lot of those questions in the next few weeks and months because we're beginning the process of | 02:03:55 | |
| organizing. | 02:03:59 | |
| The revenue sources and the structures that will. | 02:04:04 | |
| Govern and regulate these different amenities and we're anxious. I wish I had a more granular answer for you today, but I, I also, | 02:04:09 | |
| I also don't want to tell you we have it all ironed out when we're not quite there yet. And you're right. I mean, we are to the | 02:04:16 | |
| point where I mean, we've got site plans approved basically for the construction of a lot of the park amenities and areas. And we | 02:04:23 | |
| want to start building those, but we need to nail down what that looks like first and some of it, you know, like we said. | 02:04:31 | |
| Could be like, we're even maintaining that, you know, the public park areas because it makes more sense for us to maintain them | 02:04:39 | |
| than for the city landscaping department to try to fold that into what they do. | 02:04:45 | |
| So we're there is it's, I think, I think we're getting close. | 02:04:53 | |
| Yeah, the the principles that are guiding the discussion are we want the neighborhood to have. | 02:04:59 | |
| To be the source of the revenues that would pay for public places, not the balance of the city. So we want to localize those | 02:05:08 | |
| things and then? | 02:05:12 | |
| We want to make sure that all the places that on this document and other documents are indicated as open to the public, that when | 02:05:18 | |
| we do the development documents, that's folded into it and we know what opened the public means. But if it's open to the public, | 02:05:25 | |
| it's a public space and it would operate and function as a public space. | 02:05:32 | |
| Thank you. Cool. And I guess just one more comment. I guess it's not totally relevant to the site plan itself, but as far as the | 02:05:42 | |
| private pool, it would be cool if you went to the spot and that was an option to just go to that adults only pool if you're | 02:05:49 | |
| visiting the spa kind of thing. Yeah. And that's definitely an option that we could look at. Yeah, I think that could be a really | 02:05:57 | |
| cool amenity for the spa. Yeah, definitely. I I think so. | 02:06:04 | |
| If there are hot tubs, then there's a therapeutic pool, like, yeah, I think that would be really cool amenities for those spa | 02:06:12 | |
| users and not necessarily just the residents. Yeah, I think that makes sense. Cool. Any other questions? | 02:06:19 | |
| Cool. I think it looks great. I really like the landscaping. I was going to ask about that northern side of the pool, but that | 02:06:27 | |
| looked really good when I saw it in one picture. But I think it was great. Yeah. Is it going to be just like a wall and then now | 02:06:33 | |
| there's like little landscaping and then it's. Yeah, it's cool. | 02:06:39 | |
| Yeah, I think it looks great. Thank you guys. | 02:06:46 | |
| If we have, yeah, yeah, David, come up. Sorry, I'm letting the public ask some questions just so that when we have the, I guess | 02:06:50 | |
| this won't even be a public hearing, but that way it smooths things out for one week. | 02:06:55 | |
| Hi David Lloyd resident. Hey, thank you. That's great. I love the look of the plan. This looks really nice. I live in the South | 02:07:03 | |
| end of Vineyard and I want to bring some of my 17 grandkids up to play in the in the splash pad. Where do I park? | 02:07:11 | |
| Do you have any other questions? | 02:07:21 | |
| OK. Thank you there. | 02:07:24 | |
| That is going to be one of the big questions is where are people going to park for this? Do you guys know yet or oh, sorry, sorry | 02:07:26 | |
| I didn't see you. My bad. | 02:07:30 | |
| Sorry, Bronson. Thank you. Daria Evans resident. I'd like to know what the capacity. | 02:07:35 | |
| Of your Aquatic Center is going to be. | 02:07:42 | |
| Also um. | 02:07:45 | |
| Are you going to have first day stations with Aeds and how many lifeguards are you planning on having in that those areas? And I | 02:07:47 | |
| noticed you have, you're going to have lots of beautiful outdoor furniture. Where are you going to store that furniture in the | 02:07:53 | |
| winter time because it will deteriorate in the weather? | 02:07:58 | |
| And also I didn't notice that there was very much shade structure at the splash pad and also. | 02:08:05 | |
| What does this? How does the size of this flash pad compare to the size of the Grove Park splash pad? I'm hoping it's going to be | 02:08:14 | |
| bigger. | 02:08:18 | |
| Cool. Thank you, Darian. OK. | 02:08:24 | |
| All right. | 02:08:27 | |
| One more. | 02:08:29 | |
| Or at least one more. | 02:08:31 | |
| Jacob Holdaway. | 02:08:36 | |
| Having lived here all my life, this is one of the most mosquito infested areas of the city being that the water is only two to 8 | 02:08:38 | |
| inches for about 1/4 mile out there. | 02:08:44 | |
| Had 40 years of trying to get rid of those Mitch flies. Being an outdoor facility, this is about 1/3 the way from the other splash | 02:08:51 | |
| pad. The other splash pad is very uniquely reason why it was set up there is because it is. It was always for 40 years known to be | 02:09:00 | |
| low mid fly area. This is the infestation of the lake right here. | 02:09:08 | |
| For millions of years, the sediment. | 02:09:17 | |
| The wind has always blown from the West to the east and that is why on the east side of the lake you're talking about 6-7 feet | 02:09:20 | |
| deep, pretty steep drop off and all of the sludge moving this way and all of the sediment even with Linden Boat Harbor and we dig | 02:09:29 | |
| that out, I think that's on a six or eight-year rotation. It feels right back up with sludge and. | 02:09:38 | |
| Because of how low that sediment is. | 02:09:48 | |
| And the wind way the wind blows, it just falls up and so that incubating location of Nidge flies are always going to be right off | 02:09:51 | |
| of that coast. So doing an outdoor. | 02:09:56 | |
| All of these lakefront can't go out past 4-5, you know, and and it's just an inundated with those columns and so understanding and | 02:10:03 | |
| almost every development they come in and say we'll spray or we'll spray or we'll spray. And you know, I know our budget in | 02:10:11 | |
| Vineyard City, we eliminated it just because it's it's so expensive and so like understanding. | 02:10:18 | |
| Who's going to be flipping the bill for that? And then also understanding the financial consequences, you know, we're building in | 02:10:27 | |
| this in one of the worst areas for that. So it's going to be quite pricey to be able to handle that. So and also the lighting, | 02:10:33 | |
| like you know, the lighting is going to be the way in which we light this is going to attract mid flies like crazy to come and | 02:10:39 | |
| attack us. | 02:10:46 | |
| As well. And so you've got big buildings that are going to be bringing St. lights into debris to even bringing them off of the | 02:10:53 | |
| lake. | 02:10:57 | |
| To come in and attack this area, traditionally this has been a dark area and so the mid flies haven't come. And so now we're going | 02:11:01 | |
| to be attracting them. So just some consideration. So and then also I like your comment about delineation of public and private. | 02:11:08 | |
| The RDA, we put hundreds of millions of dollars into this and each time with Anderson development we move. You know, this is | 02:11:14 | |
| expected to be the citizens downtown, right? | 02:11:21 | |
| Especially with the hundreds of millions of dollars that we put in. | 02:11:28 | |
| So we need it to be vineyards downtown, not not just like, hey, you get this section or that I'm thinking about. | 02:11:32 | |
| You know, the 4th of July and all of our big city events, we're hoping that it can be within Utah City, right? Because it is our, | 02:11:39 | |
| it is our downtown. So I like that comment. | 02:11:43 | |
| Thank you, Jake. | 02:11:48 | |
| Any other comments? | 02:11:50 | |
| All right, OK. | 02:11:54 | |
| Parking. | 02:11:56 | |
| Yeah, so. | 02:11:59 | |
| I haven't done the full count on the street parking around the the area just immediately adjacent to the building was 38 stalls, | 02:12:02 | |
| but that's just just along the frontage so there's obviously the other side of the street. | 02:12:09 | |
| When we build Building 8, there is surface parking up there. Five blocks, five and six also have surface parking down there. And | 02:12:16 | |
| so I imagine some of the. | 02:12:21 | |
| Most of the parking will. | 02:12:27 | |
| You know, when this is open, all the street parking is probably taken 1st and then that overflow is probably spilling out into the | 02:12:29 | |
| blocks around. So there will there'll be ample parking for that. | 02:12:35 | |
| Can I ask a question on that? So I think you were here when we talked about parking with that the Forge project. Would you be a | 02:12:42 | |
| minimal to having that same discussion as we, you know discussed the privacy concerns around this to make sure as we implement | 02:12:47 | |
| technology. It's the one I use it and be a heart study, but it's a smart city where. | 02:12:53 | |
| People, you know, they, they're comfortable with their privacy protected, so it's the best of the technology without any | 02:13:00 | |
| integration. | 02:13:02 | |
| Cool. And then I. | 02:13:11 | |
| Oh, never mind, go ahead. Next thing was capacity for the pool. I was just, I was trying to, I know we have that because we had | 02:13:15 | |
| the size get the restroom count to match the occupancy, but I couldn't find it. So in our next meeting I'll have that number. OK, | 02:13:22 | |
| perfect. And then that'll also. So as far as pool facilities like this go, there is another layer of of review at the health | 02:13:29 | |
| department and they'll they'll go through all of this again on, you know, the amount of. | 02:13:37 | |
| Showers that we're providing the first aid equipment that's staged around all of the left. Yeah, the, the, the count on the | 02:13:45 | |
| lifeguards. I don't know what that is off the top of my head, but that's all information and, and things that we'll have to comply | 02:13:52 | |
| with to open this. And then furniture for the area. Do you guys, are you into that level of detail? I mean, we, we are showing, | 02:13:59 | |
| you know, conceptually what some of the furniture could look like. I don't know that we've selected any, any models yet. | 02:14:07 | |
| We do anticipate there will be storage in that mechanical space underneath that upper pool. | 02:14:15 | |
| Many, many places. | 02:14:22 | |
| As far as the furniture, many places also just have covers where they stack the furniture and cover sports stored in the winter. | 02:14:25 | |
| Shade is going to be a big one for the splash pad because the current splash pad has none and we hear about it every year when it | 02:14:32 | |
| happens. So right. | 02:14:38 | |
| As far as staying, we have been talking about the the shade in the Arch Commission, OK, so that that approval was made to spend | 02:14:47 | |
| that money. | 02:14:52 | |
| And I think there was direction given that arch Commission on where the priorities were on the Grove Park. So that's definitely | 02:14:58 | |
| something we'll look at here. | 02:15:02 | |
| We do have two pavilions that are flanking the sides of the. | 02:15:08 | |
| The splash pad. | 02:15:14 | |
| But you can never have enough shape No, no OK, and then the size in comparison to Grove Park. I don't know what the square footage | 02:15:16 | |
| is I this I'm pretty sure this is comparable to that size There's. | 02:15:23 | |
| In the programming, if we went back to that slide on how? | 02:15:30 | |
| The the different age groups that are being targeted in the different areas was the same kind of. | 02:15:34 | |
| Methodology we used on Grove Park and so you have like a little kid area with the spray jets, like the ground sprays and then the | 02:15:41 | |
| stream and then you have the bigger features. | 02:15:47 | |
| I think this is probably more the size of that larger piece, but the the overall space is much larger than like for seating around | 02:15:54 | |
| and everything is probably larger than what Grove Park is. Cool, cool. And then midges. Yeah, we talk a lot about the bugs. And we | 02:16:01 | |
| also found out through this process that the health department requires a higher a higher lighting level, a higher foot candle, | 02:16:08 | |
| which will. | 02:16:15 | |
| Kind of make that problem worse, but some of the strategies were. | 02:16:23 | |
| Using in the other in the other blocks that we've designed so far as getting the lights up higher so they're not so low to where | 02:16:27 | |
| the bugs are, you know? | 02:16:30 | |
| Down with where the people are at, but we're trying to get them up higher. | 02:16:35 | |
| Putting them, you know, tucking them back into landscaping so that they're, they're still shining where they need to be, but | 02:16:40 | |
| they're a little bit less conspicuous and we can tuck those back in the landscaping. So we're still lighting the pathways and | 02:16:45 | |
| everything like we need to be, but. | 02:16:51 | |
| Getting those light sources off the main pathways and. | 02:16:57 | |
| Off the pool area and Bronson and is asked about you probably just the spring like was that something you're gonna take kind of an | 02:17:01 | |
| additional layer maybe through? I think it's definitely something we ought to look at. But we like at this stage we don't have any | 02:17:08 | |
| plans on what that spring schedule will look like. | 02:17:15 | |
| That development they do get like a lot of dead mid flies or mid flies and they'll they'll they'll be at everywhere and they'll. | 02:17:22 | |
| They'll go around here and there to kind of clean them up. But I think if you're wanting this to be a resort sad hole, I'd suggest | 02:17:33 | |
| having like a higher level of, you know, just clean up. Yeah. And get into those hard reach spots because there's there's areas in | 02:17:38 | |
| that development that they're they're tough to reach and it just they get filled with bugs and they die and it can be pretty, | 02:17:43 | |
| pretty nasty. So. | 02:17:48 | |
| What's what's the timeline for this? | 02:17:55 | |
| So we're. | 02:17:58 | |
| It it this, that we're further up behind in the in the design schedule than the park. So the the surrounding park is going to | 02:18:01 | |
| we're hoping to start that in the spring. And then as soon as we can get through design, get it through engineering and planning | 02:18:07 | |
| on the more technical review, we'll we'll start construction. We're we're hoping to start like summer, fall and then be open for | 02:18:13 | |
| the next season. Cool. | 02:18:19 | |
| OK, so there's a there's a ton to do between now and then, but we're. | 02:18:26 | |
| Trying to be as aggressive on schedule as we can be, OK. | 02:18:32 | |
| Any other questions? | 02:18:36 | |
| Yeah, on the first maybe two or three slides, I saw a picture that showed a zoomed out view. I was wondering about the proximity | 02:18:38 | |
| to our current Vineyard beach. | 02:18:45 | |
| And how, if at all, will this affect it? | 02:18:52 | |
| Yeah, so. | 02:19:02 | |
| So kind of what you have between the pool area and the lake is we've got Vineyard Connector, we've got the overpass on the South | 02:19:04 | |
| side of the park that goes up over the Vineyard Connector. | 02:19:09 | |
| And then get you down to the lake. | 02:19:15 | |
| And so that's, that's the proximity, um. | 02:19:19 | |
| I don't imagine we'll get a lot of users at the pool that are, you know, going back and forth between the lake and the pool. | 02:19:22 | |
| I think it'll be more of a destination where if you decide you're going to the pool that day, you're probably hanging out of the | 02:19:30 | |
| pool. But it is there's a close relationship. You know you're within walking distance to the lake if you know that's an important | 02:19:35 | |
| relationship, but. | 02:19:40 | |
| We also wanted to make sure that the pool was, you know, more in the heart of the the downtown that's accessible for. | 02:19:46 | |
| Olive Vineyard and this was the best block to do that on. It's our largest, our largest block in the promenade. | 02:19:55 | |
| So yeah. | 02:20:06 | |
| Any other questions? | 02:20:11 | |
| All right. Thank you, guys. | 02:20:15 | |
| Looks great. | 02:20:18 | |
| All right, moving on to 2.4, the East Geneva Land Donation and Development Agreement. | 02:20:20 | |
| Who's got this one? | 02:20:29 | |
| So do you guys want to kind of provide your general overview on this next agreement? | 02:20:34 | |
| Let's give a minute to set up. | 02:20:42 | |
| I'm afraid there's no. | 02:20:46 | |
| Wasn't involved in this one, so there's no pretty pictures. | 02:20:51 | |
| This is, this is one of those like you'll have, it's in your, it's in your report. So if you've had a chance to go through it, but | 02:20:55 | |
| also I encourage you to treat it prior to the December 6th meeting as well. And people provide the, the kind of highlights. So | 02:21:02 | |
| the, the, the LDDA, the land donation development agreement is actually really, really simple and straightforward. It's patterned | 02:21:09 | |
| after the, the LDA that we did on the West side. | 02:21:16 | |
| And basically just has 2 components. 1 is the donation of the right of way. We commit to donate the right of way for the Mill Rd. | 02:21:23 | |
| alignment that goes through our property. And so even though that's a system Rd. we would donate that with the city and then the | 02:21:32 | |
| development agreement part of it because there there isn't a like the Forge had like a whole. | 02:21:41 | |
| You know, land use plan and development plan. | 02:21:51 | |
| That there's that for the east side is still a little ways off. And so it would really just be solidifying and locking in the | 02:21:53 | |
| zoning that's in place today for the east side so that we know what we're working with as we start to plan that area out. | 02:22:01 | |
| Do you guys have any questions on that? | 02:22:13 | |
| So there there's no plan submitted for it yet. | 02:22:18 | |
| Are there are there vested rights on the property already? | 02:22:22 | |
| Yeah, there is zoning right, right now. And so in that regard, there's not like approved site plans. Also, UVU owns property and | 02:22:26 | |
| so they have the ability to kind of act independently. They've been great at working with the city to kind of help with their | 02:22:33 | |
| master planning, make sure it works with everything else going on in the city. But yeah, other than that, there's the RC district, | 02:22:39 | |
| the FOI. | 02:22:45 | |
| There's an I-1 which is like the really old remnant. | 02:22:53 | |
| Zoning that the whole area used to be I one that's like the last piece and Kidiva nitrate nitrogen, but under the Sonic code. I | 02:22:57 | |
| mean, those are those are the uses primarily commercial. It's all it's all basically commercial. That area was envisioned to be a | 02:23:04 | |
| very high employment Center for for like for the region, coupling that with with the university having it be kind of a regional | 02:23:11 | |
| research and employment center, so. | 02:23:18 | |
| Those are the uses that are just kind of in design, but outside of that there's not like. | 02:23:25 | |
| Vested site plans or anything like that at this point? | 02:23:29 | |
| Just a footnote to that question. | 02:23:33 | |
| This document is not the type that's required to come to the Planning Commission for recommendation or approval. So this is really | 02:23:37 | |
| an informational item. And if you have questions or comments that you'd like to be relayed on at the City Council, you're welcome | 02:23:42 | |
| to do that. We just thought you'd benefit from having kind of a full picture of what's happening on the site and on the location. | 02:23:47 | |
| Cool. | 02:23:53 | |
| And as far as development agreements go, I mean, I don't want to speak for the city, but it's probably the simplest one we've ever | 02:23:59 | |
| done, super straightforward. It just, it basically just gives us some predictability as we start to plan out, plan out the East | 02:24:05 | |
| side over the next couple of years just to make sure that that zoning doesn't change and we know what to expect and how to start | 02:24:11 | |
| to plan that out. Cool. | 02:24:18 | |
| All right. So if you look at the the reports for the first items that lays out the uses for the FOI and the RC district. So I'll | 02:24:25 | |
| give you a really good idea of of what what's allowed. But I guess that's all, it's all basically commercial uses just kind of | 02:24:31 | |
| geared towards being a really large employment center. | 02:24:38 | |
| OK. | 02:24:47 | |
| Is there any other questions? | 02:24:50 | |
| OK. Thank you. Thank you, guys. | 02:24:54 | |
| Right, that's everything. | 02:24:58 | |
| So everything Morgan, is there anything else we needed to discuss or that's fantastic? Public hearing will be on the 6th. So, so, | 02:25:00 | |
| so please come. | 02:25:05 | |
| With with with any, any of these, we obviously can't can't work in in quorums. But if any commissioners would like to do like like | 02:25:12 | |
| a run on one meeting with with with the land owners and the developers to understand the project better, if you if you let us know | 02:25:18 | |
| we can, we're happy to to set this up. So there were a couple of questions that. | 02:25:25 | |
| I meant to ask for the forge and forgot. | 02:25:33 | |
| If they could bring it forward when they present next time, the percent of owner occupied that they plan to do the percentage of | 02:25:36 | |
| residential to commercial. | 02:25:41 | |
| And. | 02:25:47 | |
| And that should be it. And oh. | 02:25:50 | |
| No, that is it OK. | 02:25:52 | |
| The percent I'm sorry like like like Swerpers the residential to commercials yeah, yeah, like how it's switching from. | 02:25:54 | |
| OK. All right. If that's everything, then we'll adjourn the meeting. Thank you, guys. Thank you. Thank you, everybody for coming. | 02:26:06 | |
| All right then I look forward to. | 02:26:21 |
