Description/Agenda

Torrey Town Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes August 21, 2019 6:30 PM Torrey Town Hall 1. Roll call - Commission Members Present: Don Gomes, Tracy Potter, Amanda Brown, Carrie Torrey, Mary Bedingfieldsmith - Town Liaison Present: Pearl Thorndal-Stewart - Commission Members Excused: Richard Jensen - Commission Members Absent: Aaron Jensen - Public Present: Maureen Allred, Claudia O'Grady, Linda Townsend, Bill Barrett, Diane Barrett 2. Approve minutes - Moved by Don and seconded by Carrie to approve the corrected minutes. Motion passed. 3. Presentation from Claudia O'Grady on affordable housing zoning - Claudia's group is called Utah Housing Corporation and is a quasi-governmental entity. Created in 1975 the Utah legislature to create a supply of money for mortgage loans made available to low and moderate-income families. - Her group works with the Rural Community Assistance Corporation to develop financing the development of and financing for affordable housing. - Maureen Allred, with 6 Counties Government, indicated they were specifically looking at Wayne County for affordable housing opportunities. - Both made the point that housing is the backbone of economic development. - Claudia provided many images of affordable housing that would be culturally appropriate for our area. - CROWN housing (Credit to Own) is already in place in Richfield and other Utah communities. It seems appropriate for Torrey. First-time homeowners build the homes, rent to own for 15 years, and then have the option to buy the homes. - We should think about accessory dwelling units - additional, separate living quarters built on a single-family lot that is independent of primary housing units. - Lot size (1/4 acre) should be considered. - Form-based (aesthetics) building codes are a consideration. - Overlay zones are important. - We should form partnerships to build on what a community cannot do alone. Claudia's group and 6-county government are available to assist us. - See attached handout from Claudia. 4. Etta Place Lighting Plan - Don made a mtion to approve the Etta Place lighting plan. Carrie seconded the motion. The motion passed. 5. Zoning discussion continuation - Time was short. It was decided we would spend the entire September 18 meeting focused only on zoning. - Our homework must be done in advance in order to make good use of our time. This homework is related to the materials Don has sent out. - Amanda will research the Rural Residential (RR) Zone. - Don will work with Aaron on the Commercial Zone. - Mary will work with Richard on the Agricultural Overlay District. - Carrie will work on the Heritage Overlay District. - Tracy will work on the Housing Overlay District. - We ALL need to think about how to develop an affordable housing / multifamily housing overlay. I would like us to consider calling this overlay Flexible Family Housing Overlay. 6. Sign ordinance discussion continuation - Mary provided a summary of thoughts related to our sign ordinance. That is attached. Review it for a near future discussion. 7. Signage at Old House and Outfitters - Don indicated this has been taken care of. 8. Report from Richard on his water committee with the county - Richard was not at the meeting. 9. Discuss planning and zoning process and procedure - Tracy read a letter of complaint from Travis VanOrden and Gary Hallows. The letter described behavior of Don and Mary, which upset Travis and Gary. - Regarding future planning and zoning commission behavior, the following actions apply: o Sensitive communication between P&Z and Torrey residents or business owners will be review by the entire commission and a quorum of the commission will agree on the content of the communication. o P&Z acts as a quorum. o P&Z is not an enforcement body. That is left to the town council, the building inspector, and the code enforcer. o Commission members will come to meetings prepared: read materials in advance, have notes and questions in hand, review and understand ordinances related to topics on the agenda, etc. The P&Z meeting is not the time to be reading materials for the first time. o When an individual commission member discussion P&Z topics with residents or business owners outside of the P&Z meeting, make sure it is understood that you are speaking as an individual not as the entire commission. o Respond to e-mail messages and phone calls from commissioners. 10. Other - The town council needs to be made aware that the P&Z section of the town website is regularly not brought up to date. - We need a conflict of interest document from Amanda. 11. Comments from public - None 12. It was moved by Don and seconded by Amanda to adjourn. Motion passed. 13. Our next meeting is September 18, 2019 - 6:30 PM - Town Hall.
