PUBLIC HEARINGS:
1. PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE ADOPTION OF THE CLEARFIELD CONNECTED 2024 STATION AREA PLAN & DESIGN GUIDELINES
BACKGROUND: Clearfield Connected 2023 is the update to the original station area plan that was completed in 2019. This plan update is to align with State Code requirements for station area plans passed during the 2022 legislative session. The most significant change in the plan is the expansion of the plan area to a 1/2 mile radius as required by State Code. As part of the Mixed-Use Zoning of the UTA owned property adjacent to the Frontrunner Station, a Master Development Agreement (MDA) and Plan (MDP) was executed in 2020 between Clearfield City, UTA, Hamilton Partners, and Stack Real Estate. The plan update incorporates the MDP into the overall design of the updated station area and does not alter any aspects of that agreement or plan. With the help of Landmark Design and their subconsultants, staff has overseen and worked to create Clearfield Connected 2023. Open houses were held in June 2023 and November 2023 to solicit feedback from the community on how the station area could develop in the future. Additionally, a steering committee including Councilmember Tim Roper; Clearfield City, WFRC, and UTA planning and development staff; and members of the Stack Real Estate team have convened three times (May, June and November 2023) to review progress, analyze public comment, and provide feedback on draft elements of the plan. The Wasatch Front Regional Council was assigned by legislation to review and certify each station area plan in their metropolitan planning area. Following the adoption of the station area plan update by Clearfield City, the plan will be presented to WRFC for review and certification.
RECOMMENDATION: Receive public comment.
SCHEDULED ITEMS:
2. OPEN COMMENT PERIOD
The Open Comment Period provides an opportunity to address the Mayor and City Council regarding concerns or ideas on any topic. To be considerate of everyone at this meeting, public comment will be limited to three minutes per person. Participants are to state their names for the record. Comments, which cannot be made within these limits, should be submitted in writing to the City Recorder at nancy.dean@clearfieldcity.org.
The Mayor and City Council encourage civil discourse for everyone who participates in the meeting.
3. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AND CONSENT TO THE APPOINTMENT OF COMMISSIONER BRIAN SWAN TO FILL THE VACANCY ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION
BACKGROUND: In April 2024, Commissioner Lauren DeSpain resigned from the Planning Commission due to a move out of state, creating a vacancy for a regular member. Brian Swan has been serving as an alternate member since February 2024. Based upon the discussion with the Mayor and City Council at the May 14, 2024 work session, Staff recommends that the City Council appoint Brian Swan to fill the regular member vacancy and complete the term of that vacancy which expires in February 2026.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve and consent to the Mayor's appointment of Brian Swan as a regular member of the Planning Commission with a term expiring in February 2026, and authorize the mayor's signature to any necessary documents.
4. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF PHASES 3 AND 4 AT THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS CENTER (MOC) TO STOUT BUILDING CONTRACTORS
BACKGROUND: In February of 2022 the City Council approved an agreement between Clearfield City and Think Architecture to complete a comprehensive design and plan set to construct the third and fourth phases of the MOC. The phases were identified in a Facility Needs Assessment that was produced in September 2012. The assessment identified four phases for modifying or expanding the existing facilities in the Public Works and Parks operational areas. To date, the City has completed phases one and two. As part of the 2012 Facility Needs Assessment this project will conclude the needs addressed in the study. The proposed project includes the construction of an Operation Building, Equipment Storage Building, and the site work including a Decant Facility, Material Storage bunkers, and an employee parking lot. The Operation Building is designed to handle all of the day-to-day functions of the Public Works Department's operations including utilities, streets, and fleet. Staff have tried to be forward-thinking in the use, functionality, and long-term planning of the Public Works Department while designing an efficient facility.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the award of contract for the construction of Phases 3 & 4 at the MOC to Stout Building Contractors and authorize the mayor's signature to any necessary documents.
5. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE 2024-09 ADOPTING THE CLEARFIELD CONNECTED 2024 STATION AREA PLAN & DESIGN GUIDELINES
