GARDEN CITY, Utah.
September 11, 2014. The updating
of an ordinance definition for conditional use was sent to the Council from the
Planning and Zoning Committee After
reading the definition several times, a couple of wording changes were made,
and the new definition was accepted as changed..
The sign ordinance was discussed in Planning and
Zoning. The committee indicated to the
Council that some changes need to be made, but they were having difficulty
getting a handle on this ordinance. They
discussed the idea of having pictures taken of various types of signs that
could be placed in the ordinance as examples of each section of the
ordinance. Next to the picture could be
a short summary of sizes, safety, designs, limits and so forth. The Council thought this was a good idea and
asked Bruce Warner, Council Member, to introduce this idea to the members of
the local Chamber of Commerce and get input from the various businessmen who belong
to the Chamber.
Bruce Warner introduced some suggestions concerning changes
in the business license ordinance. He
thought there should be one main business license where the City Council could
impose any unusual or different requirements on the license. Anything dealing
with land use needed to go to Planning and Zoning prior to coming to the
Council. After some discussion, it was
decided that the Council should be given the opportunity to approve the license
as they have always done. They also
liked the idea of being able to personalize licenses by giving unusual or
different requirements depending on the application. It also gives the council members an
opportunity to meet the individuals and become aware of what businesses are
entering the town.
Warner felt the transient business license is good, but that
the City needs to be careful to make sure those coming in will follow what they
had originally presented to the Council as their business plan. It was suggested that the individuals get a
completed credit check and attach it as part of the transient license
application. The Council approved this
requirement.
