Call to Order/Pledge of Allegiance. Vice-chair Meyerhoffer called the meeting to order at 7:02 pm and the Pledge of Allegiance was recited. 2. Discussion/action on minutes. Motion by Vice-chair Meyerhoffer, seconded by Mr. Schofield to approve the minutes from April 18, 2023. All in favor, none opposed. 3. Discussion/action on conditional use permit for JB Entertainment at 129 North 1300 West. This property is a home occupation located in the Meyerhoffer Meadows Subdivision. The property is zoned A-1 and the proposed use requires a Conditional Use Permit. The Applicant was not present and the Commission had questions that could not be answered. Motion by Vice-Chair Meyerhoffer, seconded by Mr. Tobias to table this until later in this meeting if the applicants arrive, or at a later date if they do not appear for the meeting. 4. Discussion/action on site plan amendment at 640 North 2075 West. This property is zoned C-2P and the developer is proposing the addition of an accessory building behind the existing commercial building. The proposed use does conform to the General Plan. Kevin Johnson, applicant, said there will be no plumbing in this building, but there will be electrical. Motion by Mr. Schofield to approve this amendment to the Site Plan with the following requirements: 1. Compliance with staff and affected entity requirements. 2. Compliance with requirements of the City Engineer. 3. Development conform to Municipal Code requirements and Public Works Standards. 4. Comply with Dark Sky Lighting and Storm Water regulations. Motion seconded by Vice-chair Meyerhoffer. All in favor, none opposed. 5. Discussion/action on Annexation Policy Plan. Staff explained that this Public Meeting is being held to allow affected entities (those entities that received a letter) to examine the proposed Annexation Policy Plan and to provide input on it. The Planning Commission will accept and consider any additional written comments from affected entities until ten (10) days after the Public Meeting on June 23, 2023, before holding the required Public Hearing. The Planning Commission can make any modifications to the proposed Annexation Policy Plan they consider appropriate, based on input provided at or within ten (10) days after this Public Meeting. A Public Hearing will be held on August 15th for the updated Plan. Chair Syme accepted comment from the Affected Entities: Brad Blanch, West Weber, favors annexation. It is not productive for West Weber to be left unincorporated. His personal preference is that Marriott-Slaterville City should annex all the area. There is no access to the Marriott-Slaterville City side of the island, but unincorporated Weber County does have access. Dan Hammer, resident, said his neighbors are not aware of this proposed annexation. He feels the Public Hearing scheduled August 15th will be an important meeting regarding this. No other Affected Entities commented. Commissioners discussed options of expanding the annexation area. Staff noted that perhaps the City should annex this area on an incremental basis. Since the West Weber incorporation failed the surrounding cities are expanding annexation. West Haven will expand the Annexation Policy Plan on the south of the railroad tracks on 12th Street and Marriott-Slaterville City on the north with Plain City to the West. Since our City currently has no debt, it is best to annex areas where services can be provided without incurring additional costs. The City also does not levy a property tax so in order to keep pace with expansion there needs to be adequate services and costs so that Marriott-Slaterville City can afford the area annexed. As far as the islands, the City is considering using these islands because we would clean these areas out during a flood year for flood control. There would be no problem with the proposed equestrian area for this location. Chair Syme has no objection to the annexation along the corridor line. He feels we should move forward with the Public Hearing on August 15th. Mr. Tobias asked about sewer service and it was explained that the new line under the river which will serve the annexation area will be installed in about a year. When asked why we have to provide sewer staff said we are required to provide sewer services to the annexation. The Commission will proceed with the Public Hearing on August 15th. 6. Public Hearing: Ordinance amending the uses in the Commercial Zones. By consent Chair Syme closed the Public Meeting and opened a Public Hearing. Staff presented Ordinance 2023-06 amending commercial uses. Staff explained that the City is proposing to focus the commercial zones on retail sales over non-retail uses such as trade shops and warehousing. Those uses will be in the manufacturing zone. There are also limits on certain building sizes. Public Comments: Becky Hammer, resident, is opposed to the commercial zone around her house because they are stock piling dirt and boulders on the hill by her house. Rob Smout, resident, thanked the Commission for all the work they do. When the City first incorporated in 1999 one of the things they were opposed to was having large buildings near residential areas. Over time things have changed and we now have large warehouses around us which do not produce any revenue or add anything to our community. He encouraged the City to reconsider where large warehouses are built; how it impacts our residents and how they feel about it. He asked the Commission to consider those issues as they make these decisions. There was no further public comment. Chair Syme closed the Public Hearing and reopened the Public Meeting by consent. 7. Discussion/action on Public Hearing. Staff discussed the commercial and manufacturing zones that exist within the City. These are mainly holdover zones from Weber County prior to our becoming a City. Chair Syme talked about several of these small businesses who still have warehouses in the rear. It was noted about the problems caused by the BDO warehouses approved by Ogden City impacting residents on 1200 West and not having that happen in our City. Staff said size limits are included in the proposed ordinance for certain buildings. Commissioners wanted to expand setback requirements in order to mitigate impacts of commercial on abutting residential areas. Chair Syme would like yard setbacks to be adjusted to increase protection for residential and agriculture uses. Being no objection the yard setbacks for commercial were increased for abutting residential and agriculture. A variance could be made on a case-by-case basis. Motion by Chair Syme to recommend the City Council approve the Commercial Zones Ordinance. Motion seconded by Mr. Pitcher. All voted in favor. 8. Commission and staff follow-up. Mr. Hunsaker asked that as the City moves forward to have development favor open space connectivity to trails and other open space. Those staying for the 4th of July, please volunteer to help at the event. 9. Adjourn. Being no further business, Chair Syme adjourned the meeting at 8:31 PM.
