Pledge of Allegiance 3- Jan minute correction item #7. The last line reads 'P&Z makes recommendation to Council' Im sure the intent on say that was that the job of p&z is to make a recommendation to the council, on any issue, but how it reads is that we did make the recommendation. We did not make any recommendation for otters and others. So either omit the sentence entirely or clarify that once officially on the agenda as a voting item, the p&z will make whatever our recommendation is. Item was omitted Antoinette motion to approved minutes with the above correction. Claudia seconded. Jacob said yes and Mitch abstained because he was not present last month. 4-5 No public comments 6- no item number 7- otters and others Jared Higley -Reiterated that they want to be an educational facility. -That he thinks A2 works as the zone they need to be in so not requesting a rezone. Antoinette read what was permitted in the A2 zone. Board said that based on those items, it doesn't really meet requirements. - Discussion of types of animals and enclosures - Current Stockton Zones -Need for definitions of: livestock, wild, exotic (exotic pet), domestic, dangerous, etc - Animal units per acre of land. P&Z gets to decide. -Only the 7.5 acres acres are owned the other 3.5 leased . Leased land cannot be build upon, so would that change the number of animals allowed. -land currently in tooele county green belt status. (does one supersede the other?) -guy thinks non-profits are approved for A2, Antoinette explained just because you are a non profit does not guarantee you get to be approved. -Info from Logan and SLC since they have zoos there. Logan zoned Recreation. SLC unsure (asked council to look into). They had definitions of exotic etc which we could reference. -Double fencing or no climb fencing. - Asked guy to send Diane anything that they have researched so that we can see it too. - Fire department comments about prior inspections and when public come onto the property it is a game changer. - Insurance with people on the property. 8- Council reports -Antoinette asked about needing the training link reset. Talked about order and decorum and training and asked for board to make time investment to researching our codes etc. -Mitch thinks his term is up. Willing to continue to serve, but wants to verify. 9- Adjourned Next meeting March 5th 2024 Public Notice provided as follows: Posting Town Hall Bulletin Board, Stockton Town Post Office, and Utah Public Notice Website.
