GARDEN CITY, Utah. May 1, 2016.  The Planning and Zoning public hearing meeting began at 5:10 PM and had 8 residents in attendance.    The board members present were: Jim DeGroot, Lance Bourne, Joey Stocking and Tom Stevens.

Public comments were requested in regard to updating Parking Ordinance 16-04.  No comments were provided.

The Public Notice meeting began at 5:30 and no additional board members were present.  After roll call and approval of minutes the discussions began in regard to the agenda.

Parking requirements for Short Term rental was clarified in the updated version of 16-04.  Parking space requirements was reviewed and clarified about the usable space and common areas used to calculate the number of stalls.  Oversized parking stalls (9x40 ft) required for hotels was also defined and a requirement for each room to have a parking space (9x20 ft) was added.  There was a discussion on how to resolve concerns about vehicles without a trailer parking in the oversized slots.  The ordinance was approved as written with recommended board changes.

Rachelle Weaver requested approval of architectural standard and parking at the corner of 595 S. Bear Lake Blvd for a cookie shack called Shell Shack.  The board clarified the 20 ft set back requirement from the property lines on both corner sides.   She would also have to add an ADA bathroom, parking stalls and proper drainage for grey water.   The board approved the request as long as the updates are made.

A request was made for approval for a storage building north of Don Huefner’s home for Water’s Edge.  The board approved the request based upon an agreed fence being constructed first. 

Nate Parry requested permission to start building a swimming pool at Legacy Beach before final approval.    The board did not approve the request.

Mark Smoot requested information on the process to get approval for the plans for a future mixed use development located on both sides of 200 North so he can get authorization to start in August/September time frame.  He had a question of why the City road right-of-way is 100 ft because that impacts his development area and appearance he would like to have.  The proposal will consist of additional commercial buildings and residential buildings.  He wants to build a recreational development building similar to REI along with club house, hostel and event center.  The current Epic building located on the north side would be moved to the south side and a large parking lot would be built on the west side.
