Commissioner Allred suggested allowing more uses in residential zones to increase density without creating new zones.

Ms. Greenwood explained the concept of a density bonus and its challenges in Kaysville. The Commissioners discussed the interest in ADU's from residents and the potential for them to provide affordable housing options. Commissioner Shepard raised concerns about utility hookups and capacity for the ADU's. Commissioner Allred argues against low and artificial height restrictions and the negative impact on architectural design and density.

Commissioner Allred shared successful shared parking studies and the benefits of reducing parking stalls. The Commissioners considered using drones to identify unused parking spaces in Kaysville. Ms. McNamara inquired about the possibility of administrative adjustments to provide more flexibility in zoning. The Commissioners discussed the importance of maintaining high standards for variances and the challenges of meeting the five-part test and discussed the possibility of using conditional use permits and flexible setback rules and the benefits of a building code that allow for flexibility. The Commissioners discussed the possibility of impact fee reductions on development costs and the need to balance affordability with city revenue. They also considered the potential for fee reductions in specific circumstances, such as for ADU's or affordable housing projects.
