0:29 – 2:05Speaker 1

All right. Thank you. And and since we're we're streaming, we want to welcome those uh that may be joining us uh tonight uh online. Just to recap, we uh we just had a scheduled delegation with an annual report from the Fine Arts Center. And uh next we will move into our public comment. like to have open public comments. These are for Brigham City residents that uh own grounds, live in Brigham City, can run for public office in Brigham City. We even open it up to those that kids that attend uh uh schools in Brigham City. Perhaps they have a class that they need to to fulfill a requirement for. We open it up for them as well. We invite you if you have a public comment to please come up to the podium, state your name, where you live, and we'd love to hear from you for up to three minutes. Public comments are now open. Daniel Kennedy, Brigham City, uh Edward Jones. It's been a month since we had the opportunity to partner together with businesses on Main Street and with Brigham City to be able to restore and repair the alleyway behind all the businesses. It was a rousing success. It's improved things dramatically and I know for a fact we could not have done it with the city. So personally and professionally I just thank the incredible people of the great city leadership in order to make everything happen and I appreciate everything that you do for our town. So thank you.

2:02 – 3:53Speaker 1

Thank you Daniel. I don't know that I see anybody wincing to move up. So going to close public comments and thank Mr. Kennedy and we'll move on to council member comments. those on the council who would like to give a comment. Start with council member Hip and move to his right. I have Thank you, Council Member Hip. Jensen, thank you, Mr. Smith. Yeah, I had the opportunity a couple weeks ago to attend the box econom economic development meeting. Uh weren't very many of us there into looking business summit as the chamber uh puts together. Um, I'd also uh It's not the lighting screen. My button's green. Um, I would also like to thank uh those who express their condolences, my family, passing my mother, the city. Uh my dad said I thought that's pretty cool that all your city council showed up. So thank you um for that. Um and that's what Thanks. Member Troxel

3:50 – 5:49Speaker 1

I do haven't had any meetings. Um, but I do want to say I think this report from the fine arts center um reiterates what I've always thought about Brigham City is that and with this this election season going on that the true leaders in our community in Brigham City are from the different organizations and the people that do these um run these centers and that that work with the businesses to put in the the parking lot and those that volunteer their time to do things for our community members are to me a real leader in in our community and I appreciate having so many in city. Thank you Robin. Council member Jeffs thank you. Um I could just say something. I want to thank uh Mr. Kennedy and leading up that project to beautify the back of those buildings and make it safer. A joke, but I may have come close to losing a tire back in a couple of those potholes over the years. So, that's been nice. Um, I want to thank also the council. Uh, what you saw here uh with council member Smith is indicative of the last uh 12 years that I've been on council. There's something very gratifying in serving together whether it's in your community or in a business or something just even though we don't each other a lot there's there's something about serving together and doing what we feel is right and it brings you closer and we share in both the ups and the downs and and the hearts and I appreciate Ryan did it very well not even told us about happening with his

5:46 – 7:34Speaker 1

just handled it in his family. But I I'd just like to say how much I appreciate his trust in us, allowing us to share that part of his life with the staff as well. I know we had a lot of our directors and up there and whenever we get support like that in the circle to run with while we're while we're elected, it's it's something special. Thanks, Ryan. I appreciate that and allowing us to be part of your life. We will move on now to uh our action items that we have four of first consideration of an approval of the North Point subdivision phase 4 final plat that is located at 1100 North in Maine and Mr. Bradley will be presenting that and I think he'll be up on the dis for a while. All right, mayor and council. The first item is is really a formality to bring a final plat that is ready for your final acceptance and approval to the North Point subdivision phase 4. You saw it before you, we're making a few adjustments there. If you recall, they they replaced two separated single family dwelling units there in that upper leftand corner with four town homes. Then the extension of the stub street the north that will tie into the cardamom village project. The rest of the layout follow the original plan. But everything the final plone through the the final reviews the construction drawings that have been amended received the approvals from staff and so it's presented to the council. final correctance in preparation for them to get ready to be charged.

7:31 – 8:04Speaker 1

Okay. Thank you, Mr. Bradley. Yes, I and I I it seems like I drive through there every Saturday morning. I drive around Brigham and I drive through there because I I like how this community how the community really turned out. It's it's a real eclectic mix for me. That's what a community is. Small houses, large houses, multi-unit houses. It makes it makes it a real nice mix. Um, so, uh, with that being said, council, do you have any questions for Mr. Bradley? And, and if not, or you're satisfied already, we'll enjoy a motion.

8:07 – 8:41Speaker 1

Motion to approve um, approval of the North Point subdivision phase 4 final flat located at 1100 North Main. Thank you. We have a motion by council member Chel. Do we have a second? Second. Second by council member Hip. This will be by uh uh we just lose my roll call. Thank you. It just moved right out of my brain. We'll start with Mr. Hip and move to his right. Leaves an I. That's an I. I'm still not happy with the floor. Really? Okay.

8:39 – 9:04Speaker 1

I thank you. Motion passes. Uh action item number two is a consideration of an ordinance amending Brigham City general plan use map to change the land use designation of green space to office/lifeindustrial on 78 acres located at approximately 705 West forest Bradley.

9:02 – 10:56Speaker 1

All right. Yes. We have these two applications that are run currently. General plan amendment mentioned then I have the zone change. We'll just show them both and I can come back each item. But here is the subject parcel that was acquired by Big J Milling during the overpass project and it's it's a process to really try to clean up the general plan and the zoning extend that. So on your left you have the general plan. You can see their their facility is in that purple color with those parcels. And so the area that they acquired is still under that green space on the general plan. And it's this amendment would clean that up to expand the the office light industrial area. That is this first item. The second item is the reszone subject to the general plan amendment. You can see that it's it's zoned R18 and the intent is to expand the industrial MD. Again, I just want to give you the overall picture of that these applications and that naturally you'll act on the general plan first. Thank you. This isn't the first time the council seen this. It has been a while though. So, if you have any questions, I invite you to ask. Since we've mentioned the third action item, what we'll do is is uh once you're done with uh your questions, if there are any, if we'll have a motion for action item number two, and then once that is voted on, we'll move and just go right into the companion motion or companion of of action item number three for uh its own motion and approval. Do you have any questions for Mr. Bradley? Not any motion.

10:57 – 11:35Speaker 1

Aaron, make a motion for um ordinance amending Brickham City general plan use map to change the land use designation of green space office industrial on 0.78 acres located approximately 705 west forest. Thank you Mr. Hip. That's a motion by council member Hip. Do we have a second? Second. Seconded by council member Jeff. This will be a roll call roll call vote again. That was council member Jensen this time and council member. Pat I Ryan's I

11:36 – 12:23Speaker 1

thank you. Motion passes. I appreciate that. Now on to action item number three. Is there questions clarifications? And if not we'd enter we'd enjoy a motion. Mayor questions uh whether we approve the ordinance ready to bring to the zoning map by changing the zoning district from R18 the 78 acres. Thank you. We have a motion by council member Smith. Do we have a second? Second by council member Hip. We'll go to a roll call vote again. This time we'll start with Mr. Smith and then Mr. J. Robins I

12:20 – 13:01Speaker 1

I thank you. Motion passes. Action item number four is the mayor. Real quick. Yes. Thank you. Can I just say I don't I'm not sure very many businesses have been as affected by the overpass as big mill. We we appreciate Jeremy and the patience they've had with us. This has been a fouryear project, five year project. I don't know how long. But I just want to give a shout out to Jeremy over there and the patience you you guys have had as we work through this. I know it's not easy. Thank you. You're you're absolutely right. Thank you, Council Member Ken. And just a reminder for people about our future plan.

12:59 – 13:55Speaker 1

Yeah. Relocating that restroom closer to the parking lot that'll come in the future. just for clear clarification as future plan. Thank you, Council Member Smith, Mayor Fan. Action item number four is consideration of an ordinance amending Briggins the Brigham City zoning map from A5 to MD to PRM7 plans multiple residential on approximately 260 acres located in the general area 400 south and 1200 west and we'll invite Mr. Bradley and I I don't know he may invite developer well to comment but that'll I'll leave that up to Mr. Bradley invite him to per the statement.

13:53 – 15:52Speaker 1

All right. Thanks, mayor. This there again, there's two applications with this. The first one is the reszone as you just read in and that yellow outlined area includes the 200 acres. Three of those parcels are city pro par properties. The reddish color are the three three properties. The one on the north will see there's a little bit of the MD and that's why it's being included. And then the blue area those parcels that the applicant has either under ownership or under a contracted owner for ownership was authorized still to file for this petition to reszone the property. As we move forward, this shows the general plan area. So you see the black outlined area which is the uh again the area around 1,200 west and 400 south. Then here is the zone map. You can see the A5 and the MB on the very north west corner. And so that's really the main part of this application as as a developer or applicant request to create a plan district that will be the next step which is to amend the city code the specific zoning code language with the underlining zoning of the RM7. So in the we go back where you have the medium density residential the districts for that the zoning districts that are are considered are the R16 and the RM7 our for example the the beaten path project in Spring Creek those properties were reszone to the R16 under that medium density.

15:49 – 16:48Speaker 1

This is the first step is the reszone and the planning commission. Uh initially they uh had a recommendation for the council. It was decided to come back and create a plan district rather than a straight RM7. And so the planning commission has considered that on a couple occasions and held a public hearing. actually had they kept the public hearing open on this two meetings and following that as they worked through their recommendation they recommended approval to the city council with this resone. Thank you council. Any questions for Mr. Bradley on the reszone? I think I need a little bit more information on what's the difference between a plan district and this is a regular read.

16:46 – 18:42Speaker 1

A plan district is there's actually in the city code which authorizes the council into these plan districts. A plan district is allows property to have a special consideration in an area that would either have more restrictions or even more flexibility that would incorporate uses that would not normally fit within that zoning district or um in this case here for example the reason they wanted to pursue a plan district instead of a typical RM7 if they went just with the RM7 seven. It would almost create a cookie cutter type of development throughout the area and then they would have had to come in with a separate planned unit development kind of like visionary homes did North Point for each of those areas. By including all this in a planned area, you can do a master plan and then you can have a balance of that overall density not to increase greater than seven units per acre in that entire area. But it gives a lot more flexibility with the overall design making sure that there's good roadway connection trails and then a variety of of housing which they would have had to you could really achieve it in both. This gives a better planning tool to both city and the developer the overall master plan. And then the underlining zoning is the RM7 far as your basic standard guidelines. But again, the the plan district would allow, for example, you could have these little which you'll learn about a little more these cottage and vill and and villas type of single family homes come on smaller lots. Then you can have the estate lots that are a little larger almost in a way uh like you have with

18:40 – 20:10Speaker 1

Cotter Canyon where you have the estate lot patio homes duplex things like that that's a an a comparison that Mark if I could just remind the city council so when we started the general plan update um that we completed this spring I talked about this briefly um when that applicant we tabled their item a few months back but um we had planned through the general plan update to do a plan district in this area. That was part of our contract with a a consultant that was helping with our general plan update. Um through that process, u the developer actually approached the city. Um we were involved with um a essentially a planning company that the city was very involved, the city staff was very involved with. Um and we removed that portion from our contract with the consultant and was doing um our general plan update. Got involved with the developer that had all this property under contract, some of it ownership. Essentially, we're getting the exact same thing that we had planned um through the general plan obviously with a lot more detail than what our general plan consultant was working on for this specific area. So, I mean, publicly stating was it was always a plan for this area through the general plan amendment um that we just recently did and we were able to actually work with the specific developer on this kind of a unique opportunity. Um, and that's that's what is in front of you tonight.

20:08Speaker 1

Why would the green space or the city own to be I'll take that. I'll refer that to

20:16 – 21:54Speaker 1

Yeah. So um we discussed this significantly city staff multiple reasons. So and I'll talk about it specifically. So on the north um the Walker property that city purchased for regional storm drain detention basin. Including this in the plan district allows the city and the developer through negotiation um of each of the phases to potentially for the development to help build that storm drain detention basin through the development and the negotiations that are ongoing with the developer in that area. So obviously the city purchased that property 3 four years ago for a planned regional storm drain detention basin. Including that within this plan district allows the city and the developer to continue uh on through each phase of the development to actually have the development assist pay to build some of that storm drain detention basin um with some of the development money. And obviously those negotiations are ongoing moving south into the park. Why would we include the park? Obviously, there's portions of the park that have yet to be developed and similar to what I've talked about the storm drain detention basin. So, part of the plan district, there's going to be green space, open space. And as we continue to go through the phasing of this development, the city staff and obviously these all these come back to city council for approval through those phases. We will work with the developer to potentially um expand some of that open green space, the city- owned property up next to the park, parking, additional amenities that could be included um through that plan uh plan district um in this specific zone in this area.

21:55 – 22:40Speaker 1

Does it remain public property? Yeah. Yeah. This is a zoning zoning. Yeah. Brigham City owns Arsenal and will continue to do so unless something unless we've sold it which obviously there you know yeah obvious the park will always stay rooting city corporations it may be helpful if we went through both of these applications together you can understand the overall project and then you could come back act on each one separately that would help that's a good suggestion I was going to ask that too. Does approval of the first one that dependent upon approval of the one?

22:38 – 23:00Speaker 1

Well, they they really run together. It's a step process. Yeah, it's I think it would be helpful. Uh and then this is where I'd like to see Garf get in explain a little more as well with their project and their vision of their overall master plan. Let's let's move into

22:58 – 24:57Speaker 1

number five. The consideration of an ordinance amen city code chapter 156 zoning to establish a new planned district aven shores planned district zone at 400 south 1200 west. So what takes place let me just back up here. Sorry for all the motion there, but in the plant district, if this was to be adopted, this becomes a new zoning chapter in the city code. And what you see before you, the black, the black text is what was recommended by the planning commission. They went through and and made a recommendation that you have in front of you with and then uh as we were going through the process, you have this kind of items for the city council. There's some additional staff recommendations and attorney review. Those are the red line items. So it creates this text and and then so if you look there's a purpose and and intent and it talks about the plan district itself the zoning that's established that would become that PRM7 but the underlining zoning district and then it talks about some additional uses that are not in your standard RM7. Now some of those are additional uses that would become more of a permitted use because we're trying to get away from that and then the live work unit is would be a new component for example. Um but other than that like town homes are typically a conditional use but it would be a permitted use and then there's some language here on a proposed neighborhood commercial that it'd be identified on the map that I'll show you here. But prior to any commercial development, it would come back to the planning commission city council establish those standards so we can get a a neighborhood commercial that can service that area and and really meet the the design and

24:54 – 26:39Speaker 1

intent of that purpose. We can come back through each of these and talk about that. I just wanted to get to the map that explain that. So part of that plan district zone is a general development plan which is that that overall master plan and it's oriented or uh differently here. So north is to your left instead of top of the screen based on the design of this. So it shows the the sports um complex as an city park right now with that. So that would even though the overlay would be a TRM7 that use would be the the part for that area. You can see some other green spaces. Um and then you can see the proposed road layout. There are the different type of uses. This is where I think it'd be helpful to allow GRA to kind of give a little more overview of their project if that'd be all right. And then in the center there on 400 South of 1200 West is is a recommended neighborhood commercial area that could service that area. And then what Derek was talking about with that regional basin is there on the north and then is there's another map in your identified plan that that can serve for an overall master trail plan that would be incorporated around that basin area for the said would you like to hear from Gar or do you have you want to just ask some questions Let's have Mr. Dayton come up first.

26:37 – 26:51Speaker 1

Maybe he can answer explain the screen what he would like to the council.

26:47 – 28:45Speaker 1

Um so the Aven Shores master plan community that we've been working on for years now uh is a mixeduse I think primarily a housing development. We do have some commercial components to it. Um I don't know what else to say. Mark Mark kind of explained it. There are several different housing types. Everything from condominiums and town homes on the smaller end to uh villas and cottages which are kind of the medium more traditional medium density. And then as we head west, the orange color that you see are more of the estate style homes, which will be 10,000 8 10 12,000 square feet or larger. Um, [clears throat] part of the plan is to develop the 1200 West corridor, the edge of our property, which is the edge of the Olsson farm, previously the Olson, and also uh do the 400 West or excuse me, 400 south connection. We built part of the 400 South, the beaten path project. Um, [clears throat] well, this started during your general planning process. Um, we had acquired the Valentine and Peterson property, which is up on the east side of 1200 West, and the Olsson farm. And uh after working with the staff because of the large parcels, we felt it was important to embark on a planning process that was trying to work in concert with your general plan update. So we engaged landmark design to help us with the road layout and how the uses work and what would actually fit down here. Uh we then took one step further and decided that, you know, it's really great to have a master plan and put

28:42 – 30:41Speaker 1

really pretty pictures and pretty colors up on a map. If the market doesn't work, that that's just going to set us all up for a problem. So, we [clears throat] did some market analysis to determine what uses would actually use would actually work here. Uh and that's how our housing development styles and layout kind of came to be. Um there's a significant amount of open space. One of the questions was what about the city park? Large parcel there. I think part of the intent of all of this is to uh maybe leverage some of our resources to develop that park in in more of a developed fashion. I'm not really sure what that looks like at this point. Um, we have a significant water problem down there. So, the regional detention basin is very helpful. Not just us, but I think the city as a whole. Moving that water through here and getting it back out to the bird refuge where it needs to go is an important factor. Um, the commercial component is something that will I think is that to a later date, but I think we've identified that corner right there as that will be a signaled intersection. The 1200 west corridor is 106 wide. It's a large corridor and I think ultimately it'll be a major arterial through the north and west through the city. And that intersection I think would probably bring a lot of potential for neighborhood commercial that's going to support this area. Um I don't know what else I would liken this. It's not at all near the scale, but you think of a plan district. The thought my thought immediately goes to like a daybreak

30:38 – 32:38Speaker 1

community has different sizes or products in there within there as well as trail systems and and different road systems. And I think that's what Land Heritage is is trying to accomplish here is is more of a showpiece right here in Brigham City of a a planned development like Daybreak. Uh the trails are a very very important component. And you'll note the name the Aven shores uh which is our attempt as a nod to the bird refuge, one of the I believe uh under underutilized gems here in Boxelder County. We have the opportunity to connect to bird refuge as we continue going west and we haven't acquired any property down there or or made it that far. There are opportunities to get a trail system that goes, you know, through the inter interstate or under the interstate. I guess that would connect us to the bird refuge. And uh part of our development we're naming, you know, each development pod of this is named after a shorebird or or a waterfell. It's located at the bird refuge. The Valentine Peterson property will be known as Sandpiper. The Olsen farm will be known as Heron Ridge. Um the other the Bar Ranch that we're still working on, we haven't figured that part out yet. resisted the sparrow haven part of it. [laughter] So, so [clears throat] we would like to establish a connection with the bird refuge through this. Uh the the trail that you see on the bottom part of that that that diagonal piece is an existing corridor. There's a pipeline in there. It's an old rail bed. Uh it it makes for a very natural trail system. It connects going north with uh another project that's ongoing and it brings us very close to the bird refuge visitors

32:35 – 33:27Speaker 1

center connection that I believe would be fairly easy. Making that connection between is something we're working on but this we are working on it. We've also, you know, the trail exists down on Forest Street. Um, and it'll go the the Orchards Legacy Trail that runs north and south along 1200 West. We built a small portion of that, but intend to build it all the way to Forest Street, which will connect to the Forest Street connection, which does take you to the bird refu. So, that part of the connection will be made in the very first parts of this. Questions? How many housing are you planning on anticipating doing? [clears throat]

33:22 – 34:00Speaker 1

So this layout has approximately 1,200 a little more than 1,200. I think our maximum we could go is 1344. That's if you do with the if you just overlay the seven units per acre over the whole just because of the the shape and the layout. uh we won't get quite that. And how many commercials? Um I don't know. Light industrial or No, there's no light industrial. Just the two red parcels on the 400 West corridor are the commercials

33:57 – 35:56Speaker 1

and and they're so that's a that's a a good discussion point. The commercial needs to be a neighborhood commercial. We don't want to compete with the downtown. We're not going to be able to comm compete with the freeway commercial. So those are going to be serviceoriented towards the neighborhood. Um because this many homes down there are going to need some services. So again again we didn't want to take away from the downtown. I think that's and I don't think we really could but so we kind of working with the staff administration. It's kind of a neighborhood commercial in your in your packet. Great question council member Troxel. So you're seeing a lot the the specific language that was in the draft of planning commission um the staff along with discussion with developers asking you to strike that. Let me let me just quickly tell you why. Um we at this point in time and maybe Gar you could talk a little bit about you know what is the time frame of this development from start to finish in in your mind. Maybe answer that and then I'll keep going. So [clears throat] this the scary part about seeing plans like this and especially for the public is they see this and they think that this is going to be here next month. This is probably a 15 somewhere between a 12 and a 20-year buildout. This is a long-term plan and a long-term investment. If we can I mean the just the absorption rate in Tmont or in Brigham Tmont will allow us to do well and I don't know the exact numbers but but it times us a 15-year I think that's probably our target. I mean, I'll just keep with the the reason the staff and what the developers is asking for a change from what the planning commission approved with the neighborhood commercial is 12 to 15

35:53 – 36:42Speaker 1

years is a very long time and things change in that amount of time. So we staff felt very uncomfortable with that specific language which was very specific on some parts and very open on others and um through the commitment with the developer and staff is you know honestly the commercial portion of this would probably be built very very late in the development not early. So it's something that we're looking for the ultimate flexibility as time moves on and things change in our environment around us. So on the commercial specifically, that's the why you're seeing those changes that have came from from the planning commission and obviously city staff's been working developer over these for a long time on this specific item. So any questions?

36:40 – 37:16Speaker 1

We're not really sure how the commercial's going to work. The the commercial always follows with the demographics and you know if we were to go down there and just hunt down some commercial lots, they would just sit anyway. So, and [clears throat] we obviously don't know what what commercial is going to look like. There could be a great idea that we don't even we haven't thought of right now. So, so we wanted, as Derek said, we'd like to have the amount of flexibility. Well, you need the population around commercial or to make commercial work. You plop that down first. There's nobody down there to Yeah. frequent or even go to the commercial. So,

37:14 – 39:13Speaker 1

now we want we do want some flexibility in the condominium area for the live workspace. Um, we have found a little bit of success, not a great deal, but there are have been some successes and I think we'd like to try it where uh in the condominium area along Corner South where you might have uh people who who work from home, they may have a workspace in the in the lower level and they they live in the upper levels. Um, and there's some flexibility with maybe uh maybe it's not even them that works there, but somebody else does. CPA runs. So, in that little [clears throat] area, I don't want to say that it's an experiment, but something that we'd like to explore and maybe get our arms around a little bit better. We've had some success in Logan with our our work uh live spaces. Not as great as we we thought we would, but I think there are things that we could do better at with that portion as it comes back. Derek is we as we've taken all the requirements out of what commercial looks like and we leave it as more commercial requires additional planning. So those standards and those regulations are coming back in the future time as we determine what's going to fit there. This will change this document will be a little more fluid. So we we will absolutely have to amend the plan district as we determine what the commercial is going to look like for and the council will have the ultimate approval of that at a later date. And that was kind of the the perspective and the developer was very respectful of the staff's recommendation on that and was very accommodating I guess and saying hey we're okay marking this spot for commercial but we don't know what that looks like and I'm as time moves on we'll bring it back for what that'll actually look like if there's a million ideas out there right

39:10 – 39:53Speaker 1

now but none of none of us know what's going to work until it's actually built and and we see how things change as time goes on. Council member Smith, I think it's a a great point and just in the spirit of full disclosure, I I think that you can expect this to be amended. Not not maybe it will be I over time this will be amended. I've worked on several large planned uh developments and they need to be amended because things change over time and we want the ability to come back and and adjust to those. So I just I just think it's it's important to everybody to know that it'll the odds are it'll be amended at some point.

39:53 – 40:10Speaker 1

Is it is it normal to change code or have have this and the code specific to the plan district and not a plan district in general?

40:07 – 42:06Speaker 1

Yeah, I mean the attorney could probably voice in on that. I think the two things from a staff perspective. One is that um you know developer when they approached us when this whole thing began wanted to build something different than a cookie cutter and and essentially you know through the work through development their consultant city staff the reason we're doing this is so we don't get a cookie cutter. So, you know, essentially some of the entitlements that are associated with reszoning and development will potentially happen tonight if city council votes to approve it. Vice versa, a RN7 zone only. Essentially, the city council has lost its legislative control on what that looks like. That is the point of this, frankly, is you you are keeping your ability to say, "Hey, what is this community going to be? what is it going to look like through this CL um district with the with the developer obviously supporting this the whole way their recommendation frankly so that I mean I think publicly that's the best way for me to answer that question more control of the outcome I think it's also and Gar alluded to it but he didn't say you know specifically but this district in order to do this you have to have 100% of the property owner in the district you can't just overlay this over somebody's property and say, "Hey, you're in a planned district now." And you can you can annex into a plan district if as they acquire as they acquire property or an owner in case an owner that they don't own wants to be part of this district and conform to these these zoning uh uh uh goalposts, then they can they can uh uh petition and be amended into this district. But yeah, it's specific to this district. And if I could just add one quick thing, Robin, too. What we're seeing in the development plans of what we've seen is actually less than what the density that we're seeing is just

42:05 – 42:28Speaker 1

slightly less than what the actual general plan would allow in that zone. If you had a so just for my information, so if you had a future plan district somewhere else, you would have to create a whole another one of these for that plan. You wouldn't be able to see men from far away. The borders would have to touch in order to

42:26 – 44:25Speaker 1

Right. This is kind of a form-based plan. This is a this plan and you're zoning are very specific to just this area. I mean there there's a lot of things here that are unique. 12 Midwest for South the landscape proximity to the bird refuge. This couldn't be recreated really anywhere else in the county. we did another one in the county, it would be a different thing. But yeah, it's we our our densities right now are probably closer to six, five and a half to six units an acre versus the seven, which I think that the the staff and the mayor frankly have been very farsighted in saying, you know, we can get a better product here. Beaten Path has been a very very successful development for us down there. Richmond America, we we sold that to them and it's just a you know, basically an RM7 development. Great community and and people love it. The fastest selling uh Richmond America development in the state of Utah and it is what it is and and it's great, but we want something a little different and want to do a little better. I guess what I like about these planned district zones and them being specific is that you do this here and like Arthur said, it's specific to its environment. you go across I-15 into more of the farm ground. They can do a plan district out there. Not legislated by what we're creating tonight because it's specific to this. Maybe the next one is more horse properties, larger acres and it's equestrian trails and it's barns that allows that developer then do a not that one's coming. I haven't heard but this is just an example. They somebody come in here and say we're going to do an equestrian plan district that is is uh more of that flavor instead of just doing a general this is our plan district. This is what we anticipate everybody that wants to do a plan district, but it gets to be specific. The properties are involved and

44:23 – 44:56Speaker 1

controlled by the developer or the land owners. I really like it. And in my mind, that's what makes a community. I mean, we see it, right? You got Lindsay Park down here, got up here on the bench. We already have we have downtown. The lots are different. The houses are different. The environment, the feel, the neighborhood is different. But that those different feels what makes community, especially in Brigham City. It looks like, correct me if I'm wrong, kind of the top of the map there on just the west side of the railroad tracks.

44:59 – 45:42Speaker 1

That was high density. Your general plan calls that as high density with this. We've taken that out for now. The UTA has done what they've done. you know, if the UTA were to reconsider, I think we would probably be able to, but without that, I don't know that it makes much. And G has mentioned this is a 15-year plan. I believe UTA is on a 40-year plan to bring to Ring City. So, [clears throat] one of my biggest concerns is access to this this whole community. A lot of it does depend on that 400 South rail wheel crossing. Um, I can speak.

45:40 – 46:15Speaker 1

Is that going to be addressed? Uh, and Tyler's here. So, we're participating in the 400 South crossing. I know the city has acquired property to make 400 South be a perpendicular crossing. Um, I'm not really sure the schedule for that. However, we have contributed to our portion of that. I think right after the overpass is the fly over is done. That's probably will be a priority. I'm guessing you will see it in a budget as soon as the bridge is done.

46:18 – 47:14Speaker 1

Yeah, the 400 South will be an important crossing right there. It will have access off of Forest on 1200 West then is uh is eventually where the the cap property up around uh the the uh Cheds are just south of Four Street. You can see that there's the intention or our general plan to have connection and access there as well. And then as soon as as we're able to connect to 1100 west, come across tracks and and going into 1200 that's also on our general plan. You'll have that access as well. All of the north and south connections line up with this this plan is a little bit old. There's one connection that doesn't exist right there. Park on that green space. We've adjusted that goes to So all of those connections will will ultimately get to forest street

47:16 – 47:36Speaker 1

question probably from Mark. I notice on there that um a lot of this has to do with complicated system but I didn't see commenter staffed yet.

47:33 – 48:20Speaker 1

Yeah. So normally com comments on like utilities are going to be specific with the phasing and the platting of each of those. That's obviously we're not at that phase. We're we're at a way high level phase. Um coming to you most likely in the next meeting or the following one. We are going to be publicly talking about the utility significantly in some upcoming meetings. Roadway design, storm drain, sewer and all the specifics of that. But obviously the specifics of each one of these um developments and its phasing with utility will be coming back to council very quickly, frankly. So yeah, that's that's why you're not seeing anything now. We're really all we're doing here is we're we're doing a zone change and and amending the city code to allow for it.

48:22 – 49:07Speaker 1

On the north side of 400 South, that strip of property that's owned by somebody else right in there. How how big is that big enough to properties in there too? I mean, if he I cannot we don't know his plans obviously, but somebody else owns that piece and they could also don't know they could do whatever they want. Who knows? They're the owners. But is it big? I don't What's the size of that? I guess I mean obviously if you look across the street a beaten path, right? a finger if you want. Yeah, you can. No, but I'm saying if you put a road on either side of it is there's not planned to put another road down there and have it

49:08 – 49:44Speaker 1

on 400 South and then the road that is the come across into it. 400 South the 1200 West corridor is um a limited access corridor. We kind of messed it up with the beaten path and the Spring Creek, but as you see now with the new plans, they're between 500 and 660 ft wide. So, there will not be I can pretty much assure you there won't be another road that goes, you know, a little north of 4. You

49:41 – 50:45Speaker 1

never know where Mark puts roads, but he likes to connect them all. That's what we know. Um maybe with respect to the infrastructure, uh there are some significant infrastructure investments. 12,200 West is a large one. Uh and our plan is to build it all the way from Forest Street to the end of our property. Um our sewer, we can only get to 1200 West about 200 250 ft west of 1200. So there'll be a regional lift station that'll need to be built. Um, and in this plan, just what you see right here is about five and a half miles of trails that circulate through here, either through some of the open spaces or some of the public corridors. Um, so, um, but we haven't got to the point of making a a trails master plan specific enough to really show that. So there are some infrastructure improvements that I think will come back to you later this month uh in a different form as we as we continue forward.

50:46 – 51:31Speaker 1

Are you expecting to do these in phases? Yes. Um, so we'll start just so you're aware our construction schedule and very preliminary. The the Peterson Valentine property which is um the stuff on the the north side headed east um and the Olsen property which is on the south side on the west side of 1200 are the two areas where we'll begin and it's kind of the book ends of the 1200 West project. council once you're satisfied we'll entertain two motions independent motion

51:29 – 52:05Speaker 1

first one is yeah first one will be on the action item number four and the second motion will be action item number you have question I think I just I this is such a big area that I just want some assurance that our public works and how do I I don't know. I'm already insulted. [laughter]

52:03 – 52:19Speaker 1

I mean, you know, we're like, yay, development and all this stuff like that, but how is that going to affect our public works and the sewer and everything like that as far as our department goes? You feel like

52:16 – 53:55Speaker 1

Yeah. I mean, like any development that takes place in our community, it does create additional responsibilities, maintenance needs, and everything else. Fortunately, with the roadways, they become easy because they're being constructed to our standards, but as well with that is we'll get class B and C road monies to help with the continued maintenance on those areas, which also help fund mapping needs. And um we've talked about things with refuge collection. As this development grows, as our city continues to grow, at some point we will have to add additional employees. But with the tax base, with the revenue that's generated, not only off of the utilities and the enterprise funds, but also with class BNC road monies, we should have does a development have money to take care of the new growth. looking for a motion. Actually decide is okay. Then I make uh a motion we approve the ordinance amending the Brigham city zoning map from 85 and 8 to PRM and multiple residential and approximately the two acres is west general area of 4,000. Thank you. We have a motion by council member Smith. Do we have a second?

54:54 – 55:42Speaker 1

Thank you. uh in a public meeting. Before I close, I'd like to thank Arth and Heritage for allowing the city to be involved more than we ever have with a developer in cooperation. And they've given a lot. We've given a little is usually what happens, right, Garfield with the city. But I think this is going to be a fantastic product and a great addition our community. And hopefully it sets the standard for other developers to come into Brigham City and want to build. they involve us and partner with us and give us the opportunity to to help them out as well. Thank you, G. And if you'll take that back to Jay and and your team. I appreciate that. We need a motion to move into a close session pursuant to one or more of the following provisions, which is uh purchase sell or lease
