This is the Girls Nation in Washington, 17 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:12,280 D.C. presentation presented by Haley McCracken, Miss Teen Tooele City. 18 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:29,320 » Good evening. My name is Haley McCracken and I'm the Miss Teen Tooele City 19 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:32,400 America 250 ambassador for 2026. However, although I could talk about how 20 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:36,200 much I've enjoyed my time so far as a Miss Teen, I'm here to talk today about 21 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:40,720 the incredible experience I had this past summer and how it gave me even 22 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:44,520 greater appreciation for celebrating America 250. 23 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:48,440 To me, celebrating America 250 is about more than just looking back at our 24 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:53,960 history. It's about recognizing the people who make up America today and the 25 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:57,560 young people who will shape its future. This past summer, I had the opportunity 26 00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:01,280 to attend ALA Girls State, which led me to becoming one of Utah's ALA Girls 27 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:05,520 Nation Senators. What makes this so special to me is not only was I chosen 28 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:10,679 out of 300 plus girls, but I'm the first girl girl ever chosen from Tooele County 29 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:14,080 as a Girls Nation Senator. At Girls State, I was assigned to Clyde 30 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,400 City and was a member of the Nationalist Party. During the week, I served as City 31 00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:21,120 Party Chairwoman, County and State Delegate, and eventually Girls Nation 32 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:24,360 Senator. My journey to becoming a Girls Nation 33 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:28,959 Senator had four rounds including writing and creating a bill, interviews, 34 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:32,720 speeches, whistle stops, etc. And at the end, two senators were chosen and 35 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:38,240 thankfully I was one of them. My bill was called the Rural Healthcare 36 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:42,640 Act and the purpose of my bill was to improve healthcare accessibility for 37 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,920 rural communities and for Americans living in those rural communities by 38 00:02:43,959 --> 00:02:50,720 providing more resources to hospitals, increasing accessibility to providers, 39 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:55,080 and telehealth services. And let me tell you through it all, I 40 00:02:51,920 --> 00:03:00,320 had the best support system. About a month ago, I was flown out to 41 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:03,560 Washington, D.C. to attend Girls Nation. The entire trip was paid for by ALA 42 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,880 which allowed me to experience something I never expected that I would get the 43 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:10,760 chance to do. At Nation, I was in Foggy Bottom 44 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:15,800 community and and again representing the Nationalist Party and officially serving 45 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:19,920 as one of Utah's Girls Nation Senators. One of the things we did at Nation was 46 00:03:17,519 --> 00:03:23,680 participate in Senate session styles or Senate style sessions where we debated 47 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:27,120 and voted on bills and got to experience what it was like to participate in our 48 00:03:25,239 --> 00:03:31,519 national government. We also got to experience the history of our country 49 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:36,440 firsthand. We visited the National Mall, the Iwo Jima Memorial, 50 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:41,840 and sorry, one more. And um Joint Oh, one more, sorry. 51 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:45,959 And Joint Myer-Henderson Hall and also Arlington National Cemetery. We also 52 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:50,480 visited Capitol Hill which was one of my favorite parts of the trip. We were able 53 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:54,360 to meet with Congresswoman Celeste Maloy and tour the Capitol. One more. I'm so 54 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:58,560 sorry. And we even got to see Utah senators 55 00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:01,840 vote and speak on the Senate floor. Girls Nation 56 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:05,400 For Girls Nation, my co-senator and I co-wrote a bill called the AI Minor 57 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:08,880 Protection Act. The purpose of the bill was to put 58 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:12,800 safeguards on AI to protect minors from things like chatbots encouraging unsafe 59 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,760 behaviors and redirecting them to the help that they would need. The bill was 60 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:20,519 put on our Senate floor and passed with a vote in majority. 61 00:04:18,239 --> 00:04:24,960 This experience showed me that some showed me something about America. Our 62 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:28,600 country's history may be 250 years old, but our country is constantly changing. 63 00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:33,000 New generations have new challenges, ideas, and responsibilities. Being in DC 64 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,919 gave me the opportunity to network with people from all over. I was proud to 65 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:40,000 tell people where I was from and represent the community I grew up in. 66 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:43,520 That is something America 250 gives us all an opportunity to do. We get the 67 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:48,040 chance to celebrate the communities that make up America. And America is the 68 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:52,080 people who choose to serve, lead, and make a difference in their communities. 69 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:55,520 Girl State and Nation taught me how to speak up, work with others who have 70 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,880 different opinions, lead with confidence, and take opportunities that 71 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:02,480 will come my way. I'm so grateful to have so many amazing 72 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:06,400 opportunities this past summer, and I'm so extremely grateful to be Utah's Girls 73 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:11,080 Nation Senator and Tooele County's Miss Teen Tooele City America 250 Ambassador. 74 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:14,520 I hope I'm able to open the door for the youth in our community so they can take 75 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:18,919 part in making a difference in the world around us because 250 years of America 76 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,880 isn't just about where we're going, but it's about 77 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:26,848 where we've Oh, sorry.

In the next paragraph, they talk about 169 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:54,400 why they oppose it. And then they say, "Tooele County wisely 170 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:59,760 put a data center moratorium in place to protect our limited resources."

The time is now the 180 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,040 public's. 181 00:14:43,605 --> 00:14:48,320 » [clears throat] >> Good evening, Council. 182 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:52,800 My name is Christopher. I'm an Eagle Scout candidate working with Troop 314. 183 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:56,360 I'm a certified Leave No Trace trainer and an applicant for the Distinguished 184 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:59,800 Conservation Service Award. Tonight, I would want to present our 185 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:03,720 upcoming cleanup and trail project at Wigwam Park. 186 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:07,800 Right now, the 8-acre wooded spillway at Wigwam Park is a vital community asset 187 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:11,400 that presents unique needs and safety challenges. 188 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:14,600 This pocket forest provides a crucial home for our local birds, bats, and 189 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,800 bugs. It is a beautiful green space for our 190 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:22,480 community. However, years of overgrown brush have 191 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:27,640 caused a major safety hazards. The dead wood creates two immediate dangers. 192 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:31,640 First, it is a massive fire hazard right next to local homes. 193 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:36,000 And second, it is a flood risk that can block water during heavy rains. 194 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:40,200 I'm taking direct action to solve these problems 195 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:44,160 through the through my project. 196 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:47,120 I'm working with the city parks department and they have approved my 197 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:50,360 projects. We [clears throat] are bringing together 198 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:53,480 volunteer crews to clear the brush and build a clean trail. 199 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:57,560 Our crews will set up eight permanent signs along the trail. 200 00:15:55,480 --> 00:16:02,800 Three signs will focus on birds, bats, and bugs. We will build 31 wildlife 201 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:07,080 boxes and four bug habitats. And we are working with state bat 202 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:10,680 conservationists to build 12 bat boxes and safely move wild bats out of our 203 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:15,160 public schools. Our bug signs will combine local 204 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:18,480 pollinators and decomposers featuring bug beacons and butterfly 205 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,600 habitats. We are also reaching out to the 206 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:27,760 community partners to help residents bring these backyard lessons home. 207 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:32,000 One sign honors local heritage through the generations of history in 208 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:36,120 this shared valley which we are integrating local scouting 209 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:41,360 traditions, pioneer history, and the land stewardship of the Goshute people. 210 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:45,280 Four signs will manage fire, water, earth, and sky. And we are working with 211 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:48,920 the local fire district and county public works to clear the 8-acre 212 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,640 spillway and create a half-mile firebreak. 213 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:59,000 We need community volunteers to help us finish this work and we are setting up 214 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:03,400 volunteer sign-up pages this week. Our first work day will be on Saturday, 215 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:07,040 September 19th to clear the heavy brush. And our second work day will be on 216 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:11,560 Saturday, October 3rd to install the wildlife boxes and seed bomb the bug 217 00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:15,959 habitats. Finally, please join us for the official 218 00:17:13,959 --> 00:17:21,920 trail opening a on Saturday, October 3rd at 3:14 p.m. 219 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:30,160 The community is invited. Thank you for your time. And I have a copy of 220 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:34,000 my project overview for the recorder. >> Great. Thank you. You can just leave 221 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:38,200 that over there with Shiloh. And then just sign that paper. Thank you. 222 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,200 » Thanks. 223 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,880 » Okay, the time is still the public's. 224 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:08,240 Okay, seeing no one else come forward, I will close the public comment period. 225 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:11,960 And we will move on to item six, a public hearing and motion on ordinance 226 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:15,640 2026-22, an ordinance of the Tooele City Council 227 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:21,200 vacating the southern 20-ft portion of Utah Avenue located between the railway 228 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:26,320 crossing and 1100 West presented by Paul Hansen, the city engineer. 229 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:29,240 » Thank you again, Council. I feel so blessed to be involved in all three of 230 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:33,360 your meetings tonight. I don't know what I did, but thank you. 231 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:37,600 Occasionally, Tooele City receives a risk a request [clears throat] 232 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:41,960 to vacate all or portions of public dedicated right-of-way. 233 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:45,840 Um and and we consider those on a case-by-case basis. 234 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:52,280 This particular one involves the property on the west end of Utah Avenue 235 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:58,120 currently owned by Sentinel LLC that's bounded on the west by the railroad and 236 00:18:55,120 --> 00:19:04,160 on the east by 1100 West. Utah Avenue has not always been a public 237 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:10,640 right-of-way. In 2009, Tooele City and UDOT exchanged right-of-way where we 238 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:15,320 took Utah Avenue from Main Street down to what is now Industrial Loop Road 239 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:20,880 and the city provided the right-of-way for the new 1000 North Corridor from 240 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:24,800 Main Street down. So, we inherited some right-of-way that 241 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,880 we didn't pick. And as a result, [clears throat] it's 242 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:31,520 larger than we need. As you know, heading westbound on Utah 243 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:36,560 Avenue from Main Street, it's only about 60 ft wide, quite narrow. 244 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:41,920 As you get down to about 1000 West in that neighborhood, it starts to widen. 245 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:47,320 And in this area specifically at 1100 West to the railroad, there's 246 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:51,800 areas that are that exceed 115 ft in width. 247 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:56,760 We believe as a city that we need no more than an 84-ft right-of-way. An 248 00:19:54,280 --> 00:20:00,080 84-ft right-of-way is the city's largest uh 249 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:04,000 limited access collector road that would safely allow the trucks that come in and 250 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:08,200 out of the city's industrial depot, the school campus, and other properties. 251 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:14,480 And so, the property owner has approached the city about vacating the 252 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:19,280 southern portion of their right-of-way. Uh we certainly were amenable to 253 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:24,600 consider that. And the way we establish what we want to maintain is by using the 254 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:28,680 existing center line of the pavement on the east end of the property 255 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:33,360 and the existing center line of the rail crossing. The rail crossing is set. It's 256 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:37,800 not going to move or go anywhere. It might be widened, but it would be 257 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:42,080 proportional on both sides. What that ends up with is a strip of 258 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:47,560 property that's up to 20 ft wide in areas and as shown on the screen by that 259 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:52,080 orange shaded area. In vacating the right-of-way, the city 260 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:57,120 would maintain, however, that entire area as a public utility easement. There 261 00:20:55,040 --> 00:21:02,080 are storm drainage facilities and other improvements that lie within that, some 262 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:08,200 third-party utilities. So, this action tonight would not take away any of those 263 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:12,760 utility rights, only the surface rights to the developer. 264 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:16,680 The benefit that entitles the developer to is they have some additional setback 265 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:22,840 for building placement on that property and allows a little more enhanced use. 266 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:28,320 This would leave the potential for some additional right-of-way vacation to the 267 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:32,080 north of the pavement and also further to the east right where the 1100 West 268 00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:35,280 name is. You can see that horizontal yellow line 269 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:39,440 that there's opportunities for improvement. But rather than bearing 270 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:43,280 that cost as a city of trying to figure out where that's going to be, our policy 271 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:46,560 has been to wait for development to come in 272 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:51,040 and then work best to help them meet their needs. 273 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:54,000 So, this is the action that's before you. 274 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,840 If you have any Oh, it did go to Planning Commission. 275 00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:01,280 I failed to mention that and my recollection is that it received a 276 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:06,200 favorable recommendation from all members. Am I remembering that correct? 277 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:10,600 From those who were there. So, they did make a positive 278 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:13,560 recommendation to you. >> Okay, are there any questions or 279 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:18,080 comments for Paul? >> I had one question and that just in 280 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:21,560 thinking in the future that that we'd need since we have the traffic 281 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:26,520 between Grantsville and Tooele is going to grow if we would need to widen back 282 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:29,960 the road eventually for that reason. >> We don't think so. We've actually talked 283 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:34,400 with this with our transportation consultant Hills Engineering. 284 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:37,680 They're the ones that are working on our master plan and update that the council 285 00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:44,440 recently approved and they believe the 84 ft is more than sufficient 286 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,440 to meet to meet the city's needs. 287 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:52,360 » Okay. Any other questions or comments? Thanks, Paul. 288 00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:55,520 This item also has a public hearing, so we invite the public to address the 289 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,960 council. We ask that you state your name into the mic. You keep your 290 00:22:56,825 --> 00:23:02,000 [clears throat] comments to 3 minutes or less and then you sign the paper by 291 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:05,400 Shiloh. The paper Not the paper. the time is now the public's. 292 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:22,320 » It's here. Paul, I would have a question on that uh 293 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:26,120 particular little intersection. It's getting busier, busier, busier as our 294 00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:31,960 education corridor grows. 295 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:37,320 Does 84 ft allow for a right turn up to the colleges 296 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:41,640 as well as maybe a merge lane coming out of the colleges headed to Grantsville? 297 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:45,280 » We can answer that up. After the public comment period's over, 298 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,520 then we'll bring it back to the council and we can 299 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,520 » Okay. >> answer that. 300 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:54,160 » Okay. Thank you. >> Did you state your name into the mic? I 301 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,560 Sorry, if you did, I missed it. >> I did not. 302 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,400 » Okay. >> Chris McKechney. 303 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,200 » Thank you. And then you have to sign over there as well. 304 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:12,920 Okay, since you know one else come forward, I will close the public hearing 305 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:18,080 and we'll bring it back to the council. Paul, if you have anything to add. 306 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:22,280 » I can. I can help answer that question. At the mayor's direction, we actually 307 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:25,800 looked at a traffic signal warrant study. 308 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:30,520 Um it does not currently warrant a light, but it's not far off. Um we think 309 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:35,040 within the next several months or short time thereafter 310 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:39,760 that it should warrant it. We are prohibited by law from putting in 311 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:43,480 signals or stop signs until they meet certain warrants. 312 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:47,400 So, we're looking at when that is a signalized intersection. And when that 313 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:53,080 does become a signalized intersection, then the requirement for separate lanes 314 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:56,040 is reduced. But the short answer is, yes, we're taking all of that into 315 00:24:54,480 --> 00:25:00,520 consideration. There are plans for widening to allow 316 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:06,240 for turn lanes and other items in the interim until such time as a signal 317 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,240 would be warranted. 318 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:12,880 Good question. >> All right. Thank you. If there's no 319 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:15,840 other questions from the council, I will entertain a motion. 320 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:22,880 » Mr. Chair, I'll make a motion that we adopt ordinance 2026-22, 321 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:27,640 an ordinance of the Tooele City Council vacating the southern 20-ft portion of 322 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:30,840 Utah Avenue located between the railroad railway crossing and 1100 West. 323 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,640 » Second. >> We have a motion from Councilman Gossett 324 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,760 and a second from Councilman McCall. We'll take it to a vote. Councilman 325 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,960 McCall? >> Aye. 326 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,760 » Councilman Hansen? >> Aye. 327 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,280 » Councilman Gossett? >> Aye. 328 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:47,440 » I'm Councilman Brady and I vote aye. That passes 4-0. Thank you, Council. 329 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:51,760 Thanks, Paul. Item seven is a public hearing and 330 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:55,040 motion on ordinance 2026-20, an ordinance of the Tooele City Council 331 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:59,480 amending Tooele City Code Section 7-16A-3, 332 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:03,520 regarding commercial special districts eligib- eligibility and size, presented 333 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:07,600 by Andrew Aagard, the Community Development Director. 334 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:10,160 » Thank you, Council. As we discussed in your work session meeting today, this is 335 00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:13,760 an ordinance amendment request submitted by 336 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:19,040 Perry Commercial regarding the eligibility for for 337 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:22,680 commercial special districts. And just for the public's information, 338 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:26,560 I'd like to go over what how you what you need to do qualify currently for a 339 00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:30,600 commercial special district. In order to qualify for a CSD, 340 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:35,440 you must first have a land use designation of commercial. 341 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:39,360 You must also have 50 acres and the properties must be contiguous. 342 00:26:38,120 --> 00:26:42,920 The developer has submitted an application 343 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:48,000 requesting both changes to the land use requirement as well as the the con- 344 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:53,080 continuity of the properties themselves to qualify for a CSD. 345 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:58,880 The first change is requesting that the land use map amendment 346 00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:03,880 be combined into the same process as a commercial special district approval. 347 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:09,440 And then the second request is that if the property is larger than 125 acres 348 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:14,680 and each parcel larger than 30 acres, the CSD does not need to be contiguous. 349 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:18,480 I would also like to point out that the the ordinance that was in your packet 350 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:23,640 was incorrect due to staff error. Uh you did receive a revised version in 351 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:26,800 your email today. So if you are inclined to approve this ordinance amendment, I 352 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:30,400 would encourage you to uh cite that ordinance 353 00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:34,840 instead of the one that was in your packet. 354 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:40,280 Uh the reason for this request is the applicant wanted to uh 355 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:44,560 do a CSD for all the properties shown in red on the aerial photograph. 356 00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:48,200 Uh if we went with current standards, that would be four applications as well 357 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:53,440 as four separate land use map amendments. Uh we believe this will help 358 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:57,880 uh speed up the process and and make the process a lot more um 359 00:27:55,720 --> 00:28:01,120 less cumbersome for review. So this item did go to the planning 360 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:05,320 commission on the August 12th meeting. They did hold a public hearing and they 361 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:11,240 voted seven to nothing to recommend in favor of the proposed CSD amendment. And 362 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:14,320 if you have any questions for me, I'd be happy to answer those for you. The 363 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:19,960 applicant is here as well if you have any questions for the applicant. 364 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:23,760 » Are there any questions or comments? >> We discussed this in our work meeting, 365 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:27,400 so it's not the first time the council has seen it. 366 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:30,840 » Okay, this item also has a public hearing. We ask that you state your name 367 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:36,880 into the mic, keep your comments to 3 minutes or less, and then sign the paper 368 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,880 by Shiloh. The time is now the public's. 369 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:50,720 » Thank you, council. Scott Deckelbaum from uh Tualatin just This was new to 370 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:55,560 me, but most most times that I've seen a special service district 371 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:59,200 my experience has been on its limited that comes with a tax burden. 372 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:04,160 I'm just wondering if there's a tax burden if this is created to be placed 373 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:08,440 on the current property owners of Tooele City. Thank you. Thank you. 374 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,160 We'll answer that after the public comment period. 375 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:24,920 Okay, seeing no one else come forward I will close the public hearing. 376 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:29,360 And there is no tax burden. I don't know if Andrew wants to speak to that what 377 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,360 the special district is. 378 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:36,160 » Correct. This is just a zoning ordinance. There is no special services 379 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:40,880 um involved in this. So, there will be no tax burden to anybody. It's just a 380 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:45,280 zoning district. Excellent question. 381 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:50,480 » Are there any other questions or comments from the council? 382 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:52,280 Okay, I will entertain a motion. >> Mr. Chairman, I make a motion 383 00:29:52,100 --> 00:29:56,800 » [clears throat] >> excuse me that we 384 00:29:54,240 --> 00:30:02,640 we approve ordinance 2026-22 an ordinance of Tooele City Council 385 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,640 Oh, sorry. Wrong one. 386 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:11,640 That we approve ordinance 2026 -20 an ordinance of Tooele City Council 387 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:16,000 amending Tooele City code section 7-16A-3 388 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:19,640 regarding commercial special districts eligibility and size. 389 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:23,160 » I'll second that. >> We have a motion from Councilman McCall 390 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:27,680 and a second from Councilman Gossett. >> Chairman, before we vote just just so 391 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:31,080 the record's clear could we clarify that >> This three parcels. 392 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,400 » that it's the the correct the revised version of it. 393 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,400 » Oh, yes. >> Yeah. 394 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:38,000 » You told me to say that. Sorry. >> of the revised version not the one that 395 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:41,760 was published earlier. >> Thank you. 396 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:45,240 » Thanks for catching that, Matt. Okay. Now we will take it to a vote. 397 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:50,160 Councilman Gosewisch. Hi. Councilman Hansen. Hi. Councilman McCall. Hi. I'm 398 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:54,280 Councilman Brady and I vote I. That passes 4-0. 399 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:59,040 Item 8 is a public hearing and motion on ordinance 2026-23. 400 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:02,080 An ordinance of the Tooele City Council creating the Compass Point Commercial 401 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:05,960 Special District, [clears throat] thereby amending the Tooele City zoning 402 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:12,600 map and reassigning the land use designation for properties identified as 403 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:19,560 area A at 3100 North and SR-36, area B at 800 West and 1000 North, area C at 404 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:23,720 3300 North and 400 West, and area D at 1200 West and 2400 North. This is 405 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:27,400 presented by Andrew Aagard, the Community Development Director. Thank 406 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:30,351 you, Council. Are you tired of me yet? 407 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:33,920 » Just about. >> [laughter] 408 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:39,360 » So, for the for the public's information, I'd like to go into a brief 409 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:43,520 explanation as to what a CSD is and a CSD is a commercial special district. 410 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:49,240 It's actually not a service a special service district. It's a it's basically 411 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:52,640 a zoning code. And CSDs are authorized by Tooele City code 7-16A. 412 00:31:51,966 --> 00:31:56,800 » [clears throat] >> And what it does is it establishes a new 413 00:31:54,640 --> 00:32:02,080 zoning code that is applicable to a specific geographical area. Uh this 414 00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:06,880 particular CSD request is from Perry Commercial, uh represented by Mr. 415 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:11,840 Finlinson sitting behind me tonight. And they are desirous to establish their 416 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:15,840 own zoning development standards for for their properties. 417 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:22,000 Um based on the amendment you just uh adopted, the CSD shall include a land 418 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:26,760 use and zoning map amendment as well. A CSD is strictly a new zoning code that 419 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:32,240 sets specific development standards for all the area included in the CSD. A CSD 420 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:36,440 does not include land use applications such as subdivisions and and site plans 421 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:41,280 and so forth. It's a strictly just a zoning code. 422 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:45,800 What a CSD does not do is it does not change or alters the city approval 423 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:48,920 processes for land use applications. So, conditional use permits still go to 424 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:52,240 planning commission, so do the subdivision approvals, site plans, 425 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:56,680 business licenses are [clears throat] still issued by the city. All those 426 00:32:54,320 --> 00:33:01,360 things remain the same. A CSD does not alter or change building 427 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:04,680 codes or fire code requirements or any other regulations required by state or 428 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:09,920 city codes. So, it's just a strictly zoning and and 429 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,920 land use development parameters. 430 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:16,320 So, this is the area that would be included within the Compass Point CSD. 431 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:21,000 We have area A, which is adjacent to SR-36 at 3100 432 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:25,960 North. We have area B, which is about 600 West 433 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:30,520 at 1000 North. We have area C that is west of the 434 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:35,440 city's wastewater treatment facility at about 400 West. Then we have area D that 435 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:41,160 extends north to south adjacent to the future 1200 West corridor. And if I if I 436 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:45,720 lose any of the council on this, it's kind of a complicated explanation here, 437 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:50,120 so feel free to interrupt me at any time and I'll I'll I'll slow down my 438 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,120 presentation for you. 439 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:57,400 So, there are three specific requests involved in this particular application. 440 00:33:54,960 --> 00:34:03,040 Number one, we need to reassign the land use designation for areas A, C, and D 441 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:07,640 to regional commercial. Area B already has a commercial land use 442 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:12,159 designation, so we don't have to do anything with area B, but areas A, C, 443 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:16,000 and D, in order to qualify for the CSD, need to have a land use commercial land 444 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:19,720 use designation. Uh the application also would need to 445 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:24,320 reassign the zoning of the Compass Point of the properties to the Compass Point 446 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:28,200 CSD zoning district. And then we also need to adopt the Compass Point zoning 447 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:33,720 ordinance as the ordinance that accompanies 448 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:33,720 the CSD zoning district. 449 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:42,240 So, this is the current zoning of the properties involved in this CSD request. 450 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:46,320 Um area A is predominantly zoned general commercial. Again, this is the zoning. 451 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:51,120 This is not the land use. Uh area B is currently zoned 452 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:58,480 neighborhood commercial. And then areas C and D are zoned Compass Point 453 00:34:54,600 --> 00:35:04,000 Residential Special District. This is the land use for the properties. 454 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:09,280 So, area A, you can see, has some regional commercial adjacent to SR-36 455 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:12,960 with the majority of the property maintaining a medium-density residential 456 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:17,600 designation. Uh as I mentioned, area B currently has 457 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:21,880 a commercial community commercial land use designation. 458 00:35:19,240 --> 00:35:25,680 And then areas C and D also maintain a medium-density residential designation. 459 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:29,429 So, as they're currently designated, they don't comply they don't qualify for 460 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:34,360 the CSD. >> [clears throat] 461 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:38,520 » This is the land use map that would how the land use map would look if the land 462 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:43,440 use map is amended. Uh all the properties would bear the regional 463 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:46,800 commercial land use designation. Um I settled on the regional commercial land 464 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:51,560 use designation because of where the properties are located. All the 465 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:55,240 properties are adjacent to existing or future significant transportation 466 00:35:53,840 --> 00:36:00,840 corridors. Which will enable quite a bit of traffic 467 00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:05,120 to to utilize those commercial areas. Uh area D, the area on the west side, 468 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:09,240 the long narrow one that on the west side of that property that is 1200 West, 469 00:36:07,720 --> 00:36:12,200 does not exist yet, but in the transportation plan, that's a 470 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:17,680 significant roadway. And then to the north of area C, which 471 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:20,920 is the area on the far north of the city zoning, 472 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:23,640 uh that is adjacent to a future transportation corridor that the county 473 00:36:22,720 --> 00:36:27,880 is is looking at at constructing. So, all 474 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:32,920 the properties have significant frontage on on significant roadways and I I 475 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:36,240 believe would be well served to have a regional commercial land use 476 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:38,640 designation. >> [sighs] 477 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:43,120 » As mentioned, the zoning that's being requested is the Compass Point CSD 478 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:48,800 zoning and this is how the zoning map would appear 479 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:48,800 if the CSD is approved tonight. 480 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:54,800 So, I'd like to just go through the the CSD itself. I'll be very brief for the 481 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:59,440 sake of time, but just to kind of explain what's in it and what it does. 482 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:03,640 It's not a complicated document. It's actually quite quite simple. It just 483 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:06,560 sets some basic zoning parameters for the for the properties that I just 484 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:10,720 described. The first section is a purpose and 485 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:15,800 intent. So, the the applicant included this to provide a reason as to why they 486 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:20,400 are doing the CSD and what their intents are for the CSD. 487 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:24,520 They did include a mapping page that spells out the various acreage involved 488 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:27,840 in the areas and also the areas that are involved in the CSD. 489 00:37:28,240 --> 00:37:35,160 They establish their own uses. So, the CSD contains its own list of conditional 490 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:39,480 and permitted uses. As with our standard zoning code, if a 491 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:43,960 use is not included on the list, it is therefore not a permitted use in the 492 00:37:41,240 --> 00:37:43,960 CSD. 493 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:51,800 The CSD establishes lot standards. So, they are establishing lot size and lot 494 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:56,240 coverage. They're also establishing min- minimum front and side yard setbacks. 495 00:37:54,560 --> 00:38:00,880 You'll note that on the four-story setback that they are If a building 496 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:04,440 exceeds four feet, they're requiring four stories, excuse me. If the building 497 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:07,880 exceeds four stories, they're requiring the same amount of 498 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:10,480 setback from the property line as the building height. 499 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:15,080 And I'll get to that in why they're doing that in just a second. 500 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:19,600 They do establish building height as up to eight stories and it must comply with 501 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:22,840 section 4.2 of the CSD. So, that goes back to is 502 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:25,720 additional setback for any building over four stories. 503 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:34,240 The CSD also requires utility lines to be buried and establishes park strip 504 00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:34,240 landscaping standards. 505 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:41,440 It also sets interior landscaping requirements for for parking lots and 506 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:46,160 and the interior of commercial developments. 507 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:50,440 It establishes fencing and screening standards. It requires fencing between 508 00:38:48,240 --> 00:38:54,520 commercial and residential zones. It also requires 509 00:38:52,240 --> 00:39:00,120 vehicle storage areas to be fenced as well as service areas such as loading 510 00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:05,520 docks and trash compactors. It does set a specific parking standard 511 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:10,160 for the entire CSD. Currently in our in in Tooele City, we 512 00:39:07,720 --> 00:39:14,160 have various parking standards dependent upon each individual use. 513 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:18,760 In this case, they're setting a standard of four parking stalls for per 1,000 514 00:39:16,720 --> 00:39:21,280 square feet of gross floor area for any use. 515 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:28,680 And they do set some standards for lighting. They are adhering to dark sky 516 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:32,160 lighting standards, which is typically requirements that the lighting be 517 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:34,600 directed down into the site and and then contain cabinetry 518 00:39:34,402 --> 00:39:39,920 » [snorts] >> on the lighting that prevents light 519 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:43,080 pollution to adjacent properties. And it does create some architectural 520 00:39:41,607 --> 00:39:46,560 [clears throat] standards. They they do give mention to all four sides having 521 00:39:45,240 --> 00:39:49,800 the same given the same consideration. And they 522 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:55,360 also want to make sure that buildings wider than 70 feet incorporate 523 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:59,920 articulation techniques to provide variation to the front of the build to 524 00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:05,280 the building facades. And then the CSD sets specific sign 525 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:09,520 standards particularly to pylon signs, where they can locate the pylon signs. 526 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:15,840 It also provides some language in there that authorizes a large development sign 527 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:15,840 as as you can see on the the screen. 528 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:21,720 So, in reviewing and approving a CSD, the code does state the Planning 529 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:26,080 Commission and City Council are under no obligation to approve a CSD. 530 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:30,160 But, if they are, they need to review the CSD according to the three criteria 531 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:33,160 on the screen. With number one being the CSD will 532 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:37,880 result in development of properties in a manner that is not reasonably feasible. 533 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:40,920 The CSD will result in development of properties that will provide a 534 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:44,080 substantial benefit to the city, and the CSD will result in development of 535 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:48,600 properties in a manner that provides uses, configurations, and product types 536 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:53,920 that are unique to the community, or address a documented deficiency in the 537 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:56,920 standard zoning districts. This item did go to the Planning 538 00:40:55,120 --> 00:41:01,320 Commission during its August 26th meeting. They held a public hearing. 539 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:06,200 And they voted 6 to 1 to recommend in favor of the proposed Compass Point CSD. 540 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:09,840 So, that concludes my presentation for this. If you have any questions, I'd be 541 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:14,160 happy to answer those for you. >> Are there any questions or comments from 542 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,160 the council? 543 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:24,760 Okay. This item also has a public hearing, so we invite the public to 544 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:27,640 address the council. We ask that you state your name into the 545 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:32,920 mic, keep your comments to 3 minutes or less, and sign the paper by Shiloh. The 546 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,920 time is now the public's. 547 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:46,880 Seeing no one come forward, I will close the public hearing. 548 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:52,280 And I will entertain a motion. >> Mr. Chair, I make a motion we approve 549 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:55,640 uh ordinance 2026-23, an ordinance of the Tulsa City Council 550 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:59,560 creating the Compass Point Commercial Special District. 551 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:02,400 And I think the rest of that ordinance is as described to us in the 552 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,400 presentation, so I'll just go to that point. 553 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,920 » Second. >> Okay, we have a motion from Councilman 554 00:42:05,709 --> 00:42:10,760 [clears throat] Hanson, and a second from Councilman McCal. We'll take it to 555 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,240 a vote. Councilman McCal? >> Aye. 556 00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:13,920 » Councilman Hanson? >> Aye. 557 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,400 » Councilman Gossett. >> Aye. 558 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:20,680 » And Councilman Brady, and I vote aye. >> It passes 4-0. 559 00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:25,200 Item nine is a public hearing and motion on ordinance 2026-25. 560 00:42:23,720 --> 00:42:29,240 An ordinance of the Tooele City Council enacting chapter 7-11C 561 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:33,200 of the Tooele City Code regarding architectural design standards for 562 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:36,280 commercial development, presented by Andrew Aagard, the Community Development 563 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,920 Director. >> Thank you, Council. 564 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:41,480 Uh we've been working on these architectural standards for a little 565 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:45,080 while now. I just wanted to give you a brief update as to how we've we've got 566 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:48,400 to where we are today. Uh the mayor directed the staff to begin 567 00:42:46,720 --> 00:42:52,680 work on these architectural standards, and I immediately began 568 00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:56,680 putting together the ordinance. Uh not as you see it today, but but the 569 00:42:54,960 --> 00:43:00,600 the original draft that was presented to you on your July 15th work session 570 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:04,760 meeting. Uh I did a a visual inventory of the 571 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:09,080 city, and I tried to make sure that the the 572 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:13,160 architecture that I see in the city was reflected in these standards. 573 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,760 Uh the item did go to the August 12th Planning Commission where a public 574 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:19,920 hearing was held. The Planning Commission did recommend changes. 575 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:23,920 I did update the ordinance according to those recommended changes. 576 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:27,720 And it went to the August 26th Planning Commission for the recommendation, and 577 00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:32,560 now it is here before the City Council for for further action. 578 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:35,720 I will just go ahead and briefly describe what's contained in the in the 579 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:39,800 ordinance, and if you have any questions, feel free to to jump in and 580 00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:44,520 ask me that. Uh the first section is applicability. 581 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:49,000 Now, one of the differences in this versus what you saw in your work session 582 00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:52,840 is I've removed all references to the commercial zoning districts. 583 00:43:51,240 --> 00:43:56,520 Uh instead, the ordinance has applicability to all new commercial 584 00:43:54,560 --> 00:44:00,720 buildings and all new qualifying renovations that have frontage onto a 585 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:04,160 public street, frontage onto a public space, 586 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:07,360 residential dwellings, or future residential area. 587 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:10,440 So, if a commercial building does not have frontage on any of those, they 588 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:14,160 would not have to have that facade qualify 589 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:19,160 with these architectural standards. Um I also included an exception to the 590 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:23,240 downtown overlay zone and to the industrial zone. 591 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:25,880 Those two look Those two areas would be exempt from these architectural 592 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:29,000 standards. >> [clears throat] 593 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:33,320 » Uh for purposes of this chapter, also the qualifying renovation shall be 594 00:44:31,240 --> 00:44:36,640 limited to exterior renovations that require building permit. 595 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:39,560 Uh so, if you're going to paint the exterior of your building, that doesn't 596 00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:44,040 require a permit, so that wouldn't trigger a need to comply with these 597 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:47,800 standards. Uh as well as uh replacement of doors and windows. 598 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:50,920 And then I also included some language that consideration shall be given to 599 00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:54,080 commercial businesses limited to franchise and corporate branding 600 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:57,080 requirements. And uh all they have to do is during the 601 00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:00,840 site plan review, if they'll just provide the information to us, we can we 602 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:06,120 can provide an exception for those businesses who are 603 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:12,480 uh limited by corporate branding. Uh section 7-11 C-2, bulk. This This 604 00:45:09,720 --> 00:45:16,120 requires for for frontage building fronts that have 50 ft or more that they 605 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:20,840 have to include uh some variations 606 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:25,120 in [clears throat] order to provide um some relief to the the building facade. 607 00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:28,400 Uh number five, it states other architectural features that provide 608 00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:31,080 sufficient wall facade and depth and variation. 609 00:45:29,720 --> 00:45:35,520 Uh so, they don't have to just comply with those four listed. There's some 610 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:38,440 flexibility there in regards to um if they have other elements that they 611 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:41,520 want to use. It gives It gives them flexibility and it gives staff the 612 00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:44,160 ability to have some interpretation there as well. 613 00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:51,800 Uh the roof line is the same as the the the other one. We'd like to see roof 614 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:56,200 lines longer than 50 ft uh have some vertical articulation to provide a 615 00:45:53,600 --> 00:46:00,240 little more of a visual interest. Again, on number four, 616 00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:03,520 it states and other similar elements. So, we're not just limiting them to 617 00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:07,880 what's mentioned here in the ordinance, but they also have the ability to 618 00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:11,360 propose other things if they'd like to. Exterior building materials, one of the 619 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:15,080 differences in this one versus what you saw during your work session is we are 620 00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:18,680 providing an exemption an exemption exemption 621 00:46:16,720 --> 00:46:22,720 for buildings that have all brick and stone facades. 622 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:26,120 And um we also eliminated the the section that 623 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:29,680 had um prohibit prohibitions against bright 624 00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:33,840 colors. And so, those are the exterior building 625 00:46:32,240 --> 00:46:36,880 materials. We We would like to see buildings that don't use brick or stone 626 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:40,760 facades if they're going to use two materials to 627 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:44,360 to not go more than 75% with one of the materials. 628 00:46:42,240 --> 00:46:49,720 Um There is a list of prohibited materials, 629 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:54,160 pattern stucco, wood, vinyl or aluminum siding, and so forth. 630 00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,160 Um 631 00:46:55,040 --> 00:47:00,760 Uh the ordinance also includes uh uh some language in regards to screening 632 00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:06,400 rooftop, wall-mounted, and ground-mounted mechanical equipment. 633 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:09,840 It also has some language in regards to dumpster and trash enclosures and and 634 00:47:08,720 --> 00:47:14,880 what the city's going to require typically would be a an enclosure that 635 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:18,920 resembles the building and a solid metal or vinyl enclosure gate. 636 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:21,640 Uh there's some language in the code about accessory drive-throughs, 637 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:26,600 especially when the drive-through is between the building and the public 638 00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:31,600 road. Uh note that it does not say they shall be screened. Uh it is there to 639 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:37,040 assist in obscuring vehicle lanes from public view. You know that we we realize 640 00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:42,120 they can't be entirely screened. And then uh commercial accessory 641 00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:46,120 structures uh just requires an accessory structure to resemble the building 642 00:47:43,720 --> 00:47:49,600 either in color or material. And then shipping containers shall be 643 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,800 stored behind the main building in locations that limit the view 644 00:47:51,553 --> 00:47:56,080 » [snorts] >> and shall be painted a color that 645 00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:59,440 resembles the main building. Of course, we accept that there may be 646 00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:02,760 some situations that don't fall under this code. Therefore, 647 00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:06,920 uh with the assistance of of the city attorney, we've included this 648 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:10,600 section for design variation and have suggested that the planning commission 649 00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:13,840 be the appeal authority on that. The ordinance also states that no 650 00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:18,360 additional fees will be charged for an appeal. It would just be considered as 651 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:21,800 part of the site plan application. And then we have the failure to act. If 652 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:26,000 they don't If it doesn't comply with the requirements of this section, it would 653 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:29,320 not receive site plan approval. So, why the architectural standards? 654 00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:32,320 Number one, we receive a lot of developer requests for architectural 655 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:35,640 standards. Uh when they come in and meet up meet 656 00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:40,080 with us first, they always almost always ask for architectural standards. 657 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:43,960 And uh usually surprised when I tell them we don't have any. 658 00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:47,560 So, they actually expect them and and and would like to have them. 659 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:50,600 And number two, we are trying to address concerns received from residents of 660 00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:54,600 Tooele City regarding the general appearance of the city. 661 00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:59,400 Uh this is not going to resolve any of the problems up front and immediately, 662 00:48:56,320 --> 00:49:03,040 but is more of a long-term solution. Uh number three, we'd like to preserve 663 00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:06,040 the architectural integrity that matches what new developments are bringing to 664 00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:08,920 the city. If you look at our new developments, the architecture is 665 00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:12,080 fantastic. And we want to make sure that we 666 00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:15,960 maintain that. And that's one of the purposes for that. 667 00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:20,120 Number four, the Tooele City General Plan encourages the adoption of design 668 00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:24,440 guidelines because Tooele City is, quote, committed to building and 669 00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:28,360 maintaining an attractive community. And just a couple of excerpts from our 670 00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:31,800 general plan in the uh city's mission statement states that a proactive 671 00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:34,840 approach to creating and building the city of the future 672 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:39,680 through efforts such as city code provisions and design standards. 673 00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:44,840 It also states for the Tooele's economic values, quality design standards. 674 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:49,080 And then for our downtown area, consider adopting design standards. So, it's 675 00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:53,320 There There are some other references that are included in the general plan 676 00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:56,480 that were also in your packets. The planning commission held a public 677 00:49:54,560 --> 00:50:00,360 hearing during the August 12th meeting and then on August 26th, they voted to 678 00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:03,960 recommend in favor of the proposed ordinance reflecting the 679 00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:07,320 commissioners commission's recommended changes by vote 680 00:50:05,720 --> 00:50:09,840 of five to two. And that's my presentation on that. If 681 00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:13,040 you have any questions for me, I'd be happy to answer them for you. 682 00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:16,280 » Thanks, Andrew. Are there any questions or comments from the council? 683 00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:20,000 » I was >> I was going to say I appreciate the work 684 00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:25,400 that you put into it and and changing a couple of those things up as it's 685 00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:29,560 as some of them addressed issues that that people have, but I really like it. 686 00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:32,160 » Thank you. >> I agreed.

I get to talk to you about garbage 707 00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:57,120 tonight. Uh ordinance uh 2026-24 708 00:51:54,360 --> 00:52:03,800 proposes to amend uh to a city code section 8-3-3. 709 00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:05,680 Uh in that section um is described currently 710 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:10,360 um to a listed these mandatory 711 00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:14,000 municipal garbage collection um 712 00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:18,760 uh it it's mandatory both ways. It um for residential users, 713 00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:23,680 um they're required to use the city's garbage collection service. 714 00:52:20,720 --> 00:52:28,760 City's required to provide it. Um just for a clarification, residential 715 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:33,600 users do not include like big apartment complexes. It's limited to buildings 716 00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:37,280 with uh three dwellings or less, three dwelling units or less. So, basically 717 00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:42,000 triplexes or less. The issue we're seeing is um for 718 00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:46,680 those uh residential users that are on private 719 00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:50,520 roads. Um we're having a few couple different 720 00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:55,000 situations. One is where we have a 721 00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:59,760 uh a development that has private roads and but has um dwellings that would 722 00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:03,680 qualify as residential users, but they're saying "No, thank you. We have a 723 00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:08,240 dumpster. We'd rather use a a private contractor." 724 00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:13,960 And we're having other private roads that um the city's simply can't get to 725 00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:18,520 because of the size of the collection uh vehicle um for our contractor. Uh we 726 00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:24,600 can't safely do it. So, what uh 2026-24 727 00:53:22,240 --> 00:53:28,480 proposes is to amend that. So, we would still have the mandatory participation 728 00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:32,920 for residential users that are on a um 729 00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:36,880 uh a public right-of-way. They're they're 730 00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:41,000 accessible by public right-of-way. But for those uh 731 00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:45,120 that are on private roads um there's still is the possibility if 732 00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:49,680 it's determined by the city that it's safe and doable and otherwise agreeable 733 00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:53,840 and and also agreeable to the residential user that they can request 734 00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:57,480 and we can by agreement still provide the the city service. 735 00:53:55,720 --> 00:54:02,000 Otherwise, um, they would use their own they they would 736 00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:05,960 be responsible to to, um, uh, dispose of the garbage themselves 737 00:54:03,720 --> 00:54:09,560 either by themselves or or contracting with a 738 00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:12,000 uh, private company to do that. Um, 739 00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:22,240 some considerations with that the staff has considers is the impact on on on 740 00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:26,600 neighborhoods and infants infrastructure and just the safety issues that 741 00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:32,600 uh, we have on on private roads that are just too small for, um, 742 00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:36,040 access for for, um, turnaround, uh, uh, turning radius and narrow driveways 743 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:39,040 and and the like.

So, the Planning Commission is a board 765 00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:06,040 of nine volunteers. And as a volunteer board, technically 766 00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:08,560 the city does not pay them compensation for their role in the Planning 767 00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:12,200 Commission. But, the city does pay them a stipend. 768 00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:15,960 And the stipend is there to try and offset the the personal cost that a 769 00:56:14,240 --> 00:56:20,640 commissioner may have to pay in order to attend and and and and conduct business 770 00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:26,000 on the Planning Commission. Gasoline for the for the drive, vehicle 771 00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:30,640 wear and tear, a meal, um whatever whatever kind of cost they may incur to 772 00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:34,240 to serve on the Planning Commission. The last time we looked at the stipend 773 00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:39,680 was in 2018, and it's been 8 years since then. And as 774 00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:43,120 you as everybody knows, the costs have costs have increased for just about 775 00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:48,720 everything. And so, I felt that it was it was the right time to look at 776 00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:51,320 the stipend and increase that to $50 per meeting. 777 00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:56,280 Uh the Planning Commission gets paid the same for each meeting regardless of 778 00:56:53,320 --> 00:57:00,000 whether it's 3 minutes or 3 hours. And I believe that there are sufficient 779 00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:03,840 funds in my budget to cover this increase without having any kind of 780 00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:06,200 budget amendments or so forth. And so, that's why we're doing it. We 781 00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:09,320 just It's been a while since we've increased that. 782 00:57:07,720 --> 00:57:11,640 And we'd like to do that. So, if you have any questions for me, I'd be happy 783 00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,920 to answer them for you. >> Okay, are there any questions or 784 00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:19,320 comments? >> Uh I just think it's time to do that, 785 00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:19,320 too.
