In April, Mayor Butler changed the city office hours to better accommodate residents. The new hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday. The office is closed on Friday. Ordinances and resolutions form part of the "skeleton" of city government, and needed ones were passed during the year after careful consideration and discussion. This is the duty of the legislative arm of government, the City Council. Ordinance 2009-1 which amends the administrative code relating to land use authorities, planning commission, appeal authority, and redevelopment agencies, was approved. As explained, this ordinance will help bring the city into alignment with state legislation on the planning commission and appeals process. It eliminates the Board of Adjustment and creates an Appeal Authority to handle appeals. A situation which has a long history since before incorporation was addressed in Ordinance 2009-2. The Planning Commission recommended approval of a conditional zoning map amendment for Frank Blair from A-1 to C-2P. The property is currently zoned A-1, and is located adjacent to 1-15. The amendment proposed by the developer would allow the construction of two restaurants, a gas station, and a car wash on a parcel of over 2 acres. An additional 4 acres would be for road access and a motel. The Planning Commission's recommendation for approval was subject to a market analysis showing the feasibility of the developer completing the businesses. An Economic and Fiscal Impact Analysis was given the City Council. It evaluated the possible financial impacts Pine Brook Development could create in Marriott-Slaterville, Weber County, and Weber School District. President Dennis Ilium felt the analysis was inadequate and did not address the matter intended by the Planning Commission. The analysis addressed the property of 175 acres, in general terms, and hardly mentioned the 6 acres that are the subject of the change, or the proposed business in the Concept Development Plan. Ordinance 2009-2, granting an conditional zoning map amendment for the property from A-1 to C-2P, was approved by a 4 to 1 vote. There has been no further action by the developer concerning the property. Ordinance 2009-03, amending the land use ordinance regarding semi-truck parking in the agriculture zone, storage in a manufacturing zone, modifying setback requirements for accessory buildings with metal roofs, site plan and design review regulations, and re-zoning procedures, was passed. Ordinance 2009-04 was passed adopting Chapter 15.25 of the municipal code concerning storm drain design, construction standards, and policies. This will help to deal with implementation issues coming up under Phase II of the Clean Water Act. A section addressing storm drain grates was amended to require bicycle proof grates in travel areas and on outlets over 15" in size. A public hearing was held concerning amending the impact Fee Enactment relating to secondary water. The Pioneer Special Service District Administrative Control Board recommended this impact fee to help cover the costs of impacts to their system from future development. Lewis, Young, Robertson & Burningham, Inc. was retained by the city to prepare the required reasonable plan entitled Impact Fee Analysis, dated January 8, 2009, as the basis for the impact fee imposed. No public comment was offered. Ordinance 2009-05, amending the administrative code relating to land use authorities, planning commission, appeal authority, and redevelopment agencies was approved by the Council at the meeting on February 15, 2009. A request by Bob Anderson for the re-zoning of 3.34 acres on the east side of 2000 West near 400 North from A-1 to C-2P was approved in Ordinance 2009-06 which amends the Zoning Map for this change. The developer wants to build a combination of office buildings, retail, and possibly a fast food business. The Planning Commission required site plan approval. No final action by the state legislature on limiting cash advance establishments was made during there session. Based on the model recommended by WACOG, setting limits on cash advance establishments was unanimously approved under Ordinance 2009-07. When the two parks in the community were donated to the city by the L.D.S. Church, there was a gentlemen's agreement that these parks would always remain as perpetual parks. Ordinance 2009-08, establishes a municipal conservation program that will allow certain properly in the city, including the parks, to remain as undeveloped or parks. This better preserves the commitments made.
