Notice of Planning Commission Meeting
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Woodland Hills Planning Commission will hold a Public Hearing followed by a regularly scheduled meeting on May 21, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. at the Woodland Hills City Center, 690 South Woodland Hills Drive, Woodland Hills, UT 85653.
A. Public Hearing
1. Proposal to Amend portions of City Code 10.18.1- Accessory Dwelling Units
An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) located within a primary dwelling ('Internal ADU') or external to the dwelling unit is a permitted use in all residential zones. In zones where permitted, an ADU shall meet these requirements.
E. ADUs are only permitted in single-family dwellings on lots of 19,000 square feet or larger in any residential zone. Lots or parcels in residential zones may have an ADU in a detached garage or accessory structure. A detached ADU can be located in an accessory structure or a stand-alone dwelling unit.
2. Proposal to Amend City Code 10.16.9 to include letter E: Gates, which would read:
E: Gates:
1. No part of the gate can be taller than six feet, measured from the top of the driveway's hard surface to any part along the top of the gate.
2. Any fencing that connects to the gate along a street right-of-way cannot be taller than 42 inches in height and must otherwise comply with the city's fencing ordinance.
3. The gate must open inwardly towards the residential property and away from the city road, for any single or dual swinging gate. There must be an unobstructed driveway entrance of at least 12 feet, side to side, including any upward swing of a driveway gate. Any gate-side monuments must be placed so that the driveway has a 12-foot unobstructed view opening.
4. A gate must respond and open to a siren yelp sound, common to emergency vehicles.
5. A gate must have a fail-safe mechanism, such as removing a pin, that would allow the gate to be opened manually in an emergency. This manual opening control must be installed on the street side of the gate.
6. The city may manually test gates once yearly to ensure that they will open with the siren yelp sound. Any gate that fails to open may subject the property owners to a $500 fine. Following a failure to open, the gate must be left open until it is repaired and functioning properly. The property owner must inform the city when the repair has been made and the gate is functioning properly.
7. The gate design must allow the gate to automatically open and stay open if there is a power failure at the property.
8. If the gate needs repair to work properly, it must be left in an open condition until the repair is made and the gate is functioning properly.
9. Should the city need to be evacuated due to fire or other situations, the gate design must allow the gate to remain open for emergency vehicle/personnel access.
10. Any liability caused by a malfunctioning gate is the sole responsibility of the property owner.
11. The driveway gate must be at least 19 feet from the street property line.
