“Otherwise, what you were first saying was that planning would kind of keep track of that 10-year clock.”

“While we think on that, I'm going to bring up B. It says at least 30% of any approved housing shall be designed and plotted to allow for individual ownership. And it looks like there was comments about it, because it says townhomes or condos. that maybe we don't specify that that's town homes or condoms, condominiums. We leave it open since it could be small single-family homes or whatnot. And my question is, do we need a housing percent requirement? That's a good question for the council to think about.”

“Yeah, I have questions. Yeah, so I was approached by some residents. It's been a while, at least a month or more for all this. So how many parking spots do you say the code requires a Fabian house to have?”

“16? And there are 16 because they lease 12 of them? Yes. Is that what you're saying? Okay. And so could it be that some of this other parking traffic is from other businesses, like some of the neighborhood commercial or the construction that's going on there or whatever?”

“Well, and I think part of it is that there's a little sidewalk that connects this neighborhood to that neighborhood commercial. Is that what I understand? At least when I've been driving, when I've driven down there a few times and seen it. Because I just want to make sure that the Fabian house has adequate parking. It seems like, I called them, I left a message, called a couple times, they never heard back. However, there's a It looks like they interacted with some of our city staff and explained that they did have a higher parking need and they had leased some additional parking in the…”

“Can I ask a question, Chief Paul? I'm just familiar with the one around Sky Ridge, and I talked to some of those neighbors, and it seems like they worked pretty well for that area. I don't know why, but do you find more challenges”

“Okay, okay. And then, Mayor, if I may, I just want to point out, so I don't know if Fabian House is classified correctly. Sorry, Jesus. But I just wanted to point out something just medically. So ABA insurance in Utah was, there was a change in state code And it came into effect about 2020, where health insurances were required to cover ABA therapy, which is autism therapy. And that typically is oftentimes one-on-one. And so there is another place like this. It's called Breaking Barriers that we have here in Lehigh. But for that type of thing, I'm just wondering if this is more of a medical…”

“Thank you. Sorry. Go ahead. So are you saying after October or November, you're thinking there'll be less parking requirements at Fabian House off of? I do.”

“So do you think you will have enough parking after that movement of programs, like come December? You think that you will have adequate parking with the 16 spaces you have?”

“I mean, so some developments, they've had to go amongst the other commercial owners or whatever leasers, and then they've marked their parking.”

“Mr. Mayor, I don't have any questions. I was able to get my questions resolved with staff. It seems like we have some standard contracts here, and we talked about the certified tax rate previously, right?”

“Mr. Mayor, may I ask some questions? Yes. So probably, Kim, this is a question. So for the surrounding area, is it mixed use or heavy commercial on one of the sides? I'm going to ask a few questions, so I'll just ask them and you can answer. What does the access look like to the park and ride, the UDOT park and ride? Let's see. Those are some main questions there, and then I don't know. I have some other points of discussion.”

“I don't have any more questions. I just have a comment, if that's okay. Sure. So, Tournament Lane is a challenge. It's like a microcosm of Lehigh zoning issues, and I feel like it's a pressure point. Some of you can nod or not, but I feel like there's a little PTSD from the Hadco situation there. I walked those streets last year at the campaign, and my son has a good friend who lives over there. I remember taking him to the park, which is a little scary when you're talking about a six-year-old by State Street. That's busy. But it is a challenge. It is interesting because Trenneman Lane has…”
