Norman George, Donald Elmer, Tyler Nielson, Kim Taylor, Corey Combe, Erik Post, John Anderson. 1. Call to Order/Pledge of Allegiance. Chair Syme called the meeting to order at 7:00 pm and the Pledge of Allegiance was recited. 2. Discussion/action on minutes. Motion by Mr. Tobias, seconded by Mr. Hunsaker to approve the minutes from November 18, 2025. All in favor, none opposed. 3. Public Hearing on ML-1 Subdivision for Post 850 West 1700 South. By consent, Chair Syme closed the Public Meeting and opened a Public Hearing. This property is zoned LM-1 (Light Manufacturing) and is located at the approximate address listed above. The developer proposes a thirteen (13) lot subdivision. The proposed use conforms to the General Plan. Public Comments: No comments were made. Motion by Chair Syme that we leave the Public Hearing and return to the Public Meeting. 4. Discussion/action on Public Hearing. Chair Syme stated that an easement must be provided to allow the irrigation company access to the ditch. He requested curb and gutter improvements, with sidewalks to be deferred and a rolled curb installed in the interim. The Commission directed that funds for the deferred improvements be placed in escrow and required that a public easement be provided for access to the ditch, with a minimum right-of-way of fifteen (15) feet on both sides. Additionally, the commission required that the entire perimeter of the subdivision be fenced. It was determined that fencing would be installed along the property line at this time, with remaining funds placed in escrow until future development occurs. Chair Syme made a motion to grant final subdivision approval, seconded by Mr. Hunsaker. The motion passed unanimously, with all members in favor and none opposed. 5. Public Hearing: Zoning Map Correction at 795 North 2000 West. By consent, Chair Syme closed the Public Meeting and opened a Public Hearing. This proposal addresses a recently identified zoning map error. The subject parcel is currently shown as Manufacturing on the current map; however, the correction will reclassify the parcel as LM-1. The proposed zoning designation is consistent with the General Plan. The Smout property has never been zoned Manufacturing. Public Comments: No comments were received. Motion by Chair Syme to close the Public Hearing and reopen the Public Meeting. 6. Discussion/action on Public Hearing. Chair Syme made a motion to approve this zoning map correction, seconded by Mr. Neal. The motion passed unanimously, with all members in favor and none apposed. 7. Public Hearing on amendment to eliminate storage units from all zones and modernize architectural standards. By consent, Chair Syme closed the Public Meeting and opened a Public Hearing. Chair Syme would like to amend architectural design standards for storage units. However, after discussion the Commission decided to not make any changes to the current Ordinance at this time. Public Comments: Chelsie Stanger expressed support for updating architectural standards, but requested greater uniformity. She suggested that when properties are remodeled or upgraded, they should be required at that time to comply with more consistent architectural standards. Steve Slater questioned the rationale for eliminating storage units. Chair Syme made a motion to close the Public Hearing and return to the Public Meeting. Staff explained that the City generates no revenue from storage units and that the proposed elimination is due in part to concerns regarding theft and visual impacts. Mr. Pitcher states that he does not believe the City should dictate how businesses operate and expressed concern that the regulations and becoming overly restrictive would increase the cost of development within the City. Mr. Hunsaker concurred with Mr. Pitcher, stating that the City should not dictate businesses operations. Mr. Neal also expressed concern that the proposed regulations are overly restrictive. Mr. Tobias questioned why the City receives no revenue from storage units and stated that there should be more balance and compromise within the Ordinance. 8. Discussion/action on Public Hearing. It was agreed that the Ordinance would be revised to reflect the comments and discussion of the Commission. Chair Syme made a motion to amend the minimum spacing requirement for storage units from 1.5 miles to 1.75 miles and to update the architectural standards accordingly, and to forward the Ordinance to the City Council for their consideration. The motion was seconded by Mr. Tobias and passed unanimously, with all members in favor. 9. Public Hearing on Site Plan for Slaterville Park Expansion. Chair Syme made a motion to close the Public Meeting and open the Public Hearing. Staff report presented the Site Plan for the Slaterville Park expansion, which includes fifty-seven (57) parking stalls with curb and gutter improvements. The City has been awarded a RAMP (Recreation, Arts, Museums, Parks) grant to pay for this project. The proposal includes adding a parking lot, pickle ball courts, landscaping additional acreage, and installation of a trail around the perimeter of the park. The proposed use conforms to the General Plan. Public comments: - Steve Slater asked about the anticipated project time line. - Chelsie Stanger inquired whether the parking lot would be accessible to individuals with disabilities, elderly users, and people of all abilities. - Councilman Rob Smout noted that the proposed parking lot is significantly larger than shown in earlier plans. He expressed concern that the trail could connect to the adjacent subdivision and allow access by motorized vehicles. He also requested that the option remain open to install a fence between the park and his property if needed. Chair Syme closed the Public Hearing and reopened the Public Meeting. 10. Discussion/action on Public Hearing. Staff Responses: Staff indicated that construction may begin in late winter or early next year. The parking lot and associated facilities will be flat, include no stairs, and will meet all ADA accessibility requirements. A chain-link fence will be installed along the south property line at this time, as funding is currently available. To address concerns regarding motorized vehicles, staff recommenced installing removable bollards at three locations along the trail. The parking lot will have a single access point. The parking lot will be constructed at a higher elevation and designed to drain appropriately into the storm drainage system. Chair Syme made a motion to approve the site plan for the Slaterville Park expansion, seconded by Mr. Hunsaker. The motion passed unanimously, with all members in favor and none opposed. 11. Commission and staff follow-up. Chair Syme expressed his appreciation to the Commissioners for their dedication and service over the years, noting that this meeting marked his final Commission meeting. 12. Adjourn. The meeting was adjourned at 8:24 pm.
