Call to Order/Pledge of Allegiance. Chair Syme called the meeting to order at 7:01 pm and the Pledge of Allegiance was recited. This is a joint meeting of the Planning Commission and City Council to discuss development in the area annexed by the City. Chair Syme is the presiding official conducting this meeting. 2. Discussion/action on minutes. Motion by Vice-chair. Meyerhoffer, seconded by Chair Syme, to approve the minutes from October 17, 2023. All in favor, none opposed. 3. Joint Work Session with City Council: Chair Les Syme Presiding a. Development Plan for Smart Acres at 2700 West 12th Street. Staff reviewed the plat map for this development which will consist of two parts: 1) a residential component, and 2) a commercial component. Mayor Van Leeuwen requested an update on the background as to how we got to this point. Pat Burns, one of the developers gave a history as to how this came about. The residential portion of the property is now under a different owner, Hill Field Investments, and is under contract by a developer named PEG. Dave and Pat are involved in the commercial portion. They stated that they will develop different portions of the commercial property but may not retain ownership of the entire commercial site. Chair Syme made it clear that the development will be held to the highest standards. Staff discussed the process of creating and entering a separate development agreement for the residential and commercial components. Vice-chair Meyerhoffer asked how they can fit 200 homes on 22 acres. The developer indicated it would be similar to development in Herriman and would be possible. Chair Syme wants exact details when the plans are submitted so we know what it entails. He told the developers that the Fire Department would have to approve the access. The developer indicated that the newest plan has all the commercial areas being accessed off of 12th St and the corner of 2700 West and 12th Street. The residential area will be accessed from 2700 West. One of the developers from Riverton, Utah, clarified that commercial plans change depending on the tenant. Chair Syme wants a plan that works for the City. This will be part of the Development Agreement. Other Stipulations: The Dark Sky Lighting Ordinance must be followed and no lights should be shining in the direction of residential. Storage units require on-site, 24-hour security. Vice-pres. Holley asked if the storage units could be moved away from the existing houses. Chair Syme noted that the storage units would have a masonry wall and are not as high as commercial buildings. Vice-pres. Holley acknowledged that the storage units may be less intrusive to residents than adjoining directly to commercial, as the building height for commercial is higher. Councilman Smout does not want any apartments included in the development and asked the developers to work with the City to remove them. He opposes having rentals as well. He feels it is out of character for our City. Mr. Laloli noted that apartments were included from the beginning, but they are not involved in the residential development at this point and have no say in the matter. He said perhaps the new developer would be willing to negotiate that. Councilman Slater thinks that 24-hour businesses have a huge impact on the City and law enforcement. Mr. Schofield questions the viability of the market for the high cost of this development. He also discussed the time lines for development. It was mentioned that time lines should be outlined in the development agreements. Mr. Pitcher stated that there are many things we cannot control and do not know as the developments progress, and with the state of the economy. Mayor Van Leeuwen feels that the City was deceived, and the entire residential portion as he was told would be developed by Woodside Homes with owner occupied single family and town homes. Now it is another developer and rentals. He is very disappointed with how things have unfolded. Mr. Loveland asked that the developer comply with the code and ensure that the plans are correct so staff do not waste time reviewing plans that change significantly. Chair Syme said there were some things that were not included in the annexation agreement that the development agreements will need to cover. The City will hold the developers responsible to complete the development as agreed. Problems have occurred from plans continually changing and that is causing some people to feel that they were deceived. The purpose of this meeting is to ensure that everyone knows where we stand and get an understanding of the project. The City will always put their residents first. b. Public Infrastructure District for SPB Ventures. Staff explained the concept of a Public Infrastructure District (PID). These are new entities created by the state legislature in 2019. These are used in other states to access bond financing for development projects. Sam Elder from D.A. Davidson, which is an underwriter of municipal debt nationwide, explained PIDs. D.A. Davidson would be the bond company that assists in funding a PID, which is a quasi-governmental entity that would issue tax exempt debt for infrastructure. Mr. Elder gave a power point presentation on PIDs and answered questions of the Commission, Council, and Administration. The PID can levy a property tax or an assessment that is paid upon the sale of the property. Commissioners and Council members felt they had a better understanding of these entities following the presentation. b. City Infrastructure Projects. Staff is not sure what infrastructure will be public or private as part of this development. c. Other Projects and follow-up. Pres. Illum asked residents in attendance that did not have their questions answered from this meeting to come in and talk to staff. Chair Syme thanked the residents in attendance and it was noted that there would be a Public Hearing in the future on this development once solid plans are ready, and they are encouraged to participate in that Public Hearing. He also thanked the Mayor for all that he does. 4. Adjourn. Meeting adjourned at 9:34 PM.
