PUBLIC HEARING- Consider amending Chapter 4 and Chapter 18 of the Bountiful City Land Use Ordinance related to parking and driveway standards for Single Family Residential use and  development.  Chad Wilkinson presented the staffreport.  The proposed amendment would change the driveway and parking standards for Single Family Residential zones. The changes include amendments to the standards of Chapter 4-Single Family The City Council has directed staff to review the existing parking standards for the single family zone and bring forward changes that would allow opportunities for additional off-street parking in single family zoning districts. City staff has reviewed a number of options and will present some possible alternatives for your consideration. In reviewing these options, there are two important existing standards that should not be altered. First, the standard limiting the coverage of a front yard by requiring a minimum of 50 percent landscaping should not be changed. This standard prevents a front yard from being completely paved over and is essential to preserving Bountiful's identify as a City of beautiful homes and gardens. The landscape standard also preserves pervious surface to allow for infiltration by storm water. The newly adopted State storm water standards require that cities adopt Low Impact Development Standards (LID) to limit the need for new storm water facilities. LID principles include preservation of open space in order to decrease new impacts on storm water facilities and to increase water quality by providing landscape areas to filter contaminants from rain Second, the minimum driveway spacing standards should be preserved. There are several vital reasons  Residential and Chapter 18 Motor Vehicle Parking and access standards.  water prior to entering the public storm system.  for requiring a minimum separation standard which include the following:  Bountiful City Planning Commission Minutes - November 6, 2018  Page lof4    Thej provision ofc on-street parking  Providing room fort trash pickup and street sweeping Providing predictable intervals for traffic flow purposes Allowing for on-street snow storage Providing access to mail boxes and fire hydrants  Aesthetics replace concrete.  Allowing for repair and maintenance of utilities placed within a park strip without the need to There are options available to provide additional off-street parking without removing the minimum spacing and landscape standard. One of these options would be to provide for parking in front of the residence with a landscape buffer between the parking and the street. This would enable some limited additional parking while still providing landscape area along the public street. Currently, parking is prohibited in front of single family residences. The attached potential changes to the ordinance include as standard allowing for parking in front of single family residences with some buffering. Another option is to allow for a decreased width for accessing parking in the rear yard. Currently, the Code requires a minimum setback width of12 feet for side yards that are used for driveways accessing garages or parking areas in the rear yard. Decreasing this standard to allow for access to rear yards where there is an 8-foot wide unobstructed area to accommodate a driveway would also increase the potential for many homes, and particularly those in older neighborhoods with single wide driveways to Other changes include clarifications on driveway standards for accessory dwellings, renumbering some sections related to driveway standards for homes in the R-F zone to provide additional clarity Changes to the driveway standards will potentially have significant impacts to the look and feel of Bountiful City. Allowing additional parking in the front yard will decrease landscaping and place more vehicles within areas visible from the public street. These changes should be carefully considered prior Itis recommended that the Planning Commission review the proposed changes to the driveway standards for the Single Family Residential zone and hold a public hearing to allow for public comment. After receiving public input the Commission may take one oft the following actions: 1. Request additional revisions and continue the item to ai future meeting for further discussion 2.

Mr. Wilkinson discussed all oft the changes to the code that staffi recommended. these changes could have aj potential to change the look and feel of Bountiful.  Mr. Wilkinson clarified that there is no existing text for figure 14-4-1. He explained the impact with  Bountiful City Planning Commission Minutes - November 6, 2018  Page 2of4    Sharon Spratley asked for clarification on the code for circle driveways. Mr. Wilkinson stated that the code does not allow parking in the front yard except for approved driveways. A circle driveway would be allowed within the City standards including minimum spacing and depth dimensions. There  are a few oft these driveways int the city.  Chair Monson opened the PUBLIC: HEARING at 7:04 p.m.  Mark Minnis resides at 349 W 300 North. Mr. Minnis discussed the code enforcement that he received for his driveway. He discussed single family homes in the City that have only a single wide driveway and older homes that need more off street winter parking. He had gathered signatures and submitted a petition to Bountiful City Council and created a map that showed the homes from the Chair Monson corrected Mr. Minnis on his assertion that staff somehow convinced the Planning Commission to deny his variance against their will. Mr. Monson stated that the staff presents the Commission members with a report for the item to be heard and will also make recommendations; Mr. Taylor resides at 177 W 800 S. Mr. Taylor asked for clarification on the examples that were shown for driveways on one side oft thel house and additional parking on the other side.

Chair Monson closed the PUBLIC HEARING at 7:04 p.m.  Mr. Wilkinson discussed and answered comments from the Public Hearing.  1. The City currently allows two driveways with a 35 foot separation and the ability to have a second driveway would depend on the size of the lot in order to comply with the code. 2. The code that has been presented is a Land Use Ordinance and not a Building Code. 3. The parking requirement in the Land Use Ordinance for a single family home does not require a double wide driveway, it does require 2 spaces in the garage and 4 spaces overall. The ordinance does allow stacking parking as long as you have the 2 spaces in the garage. This proposed ordinance change is to give more parking opportunity.  The smaller/older homes do have some challenges to allow extra parking and would hope that some of Ms. Spratley and Tom Smith have a concern for the front yard parking. Mr. Wilkinson stated that the narrow driveways and the side yard parking would allow for additional off-street parking. He stated  the proposed changes will help these challenges.

Mr. Hill would rather see the citizens meet the standards with paving instead of parking on the grass in the front yard. Planning Commission members discussed the variance approval process should be very restrictive and limited. There was discussion about the setbacks, front yard parking allowance, Mr. Wilkinson stated that this Sharon Spratley made a motion that the Planning Commission forward to the City Council a recommendation of approval for a proposed amendment to Chapters 4 and 18 related to driveway and parking standards for Single Family Residential with the exception ofa adopting the change to 14-4-110 Tom Smith seconded the motion.

The  property is located within the DN (Downtown) zone.  Background and Analysis:  Thej property has been vacant for many years and is zoned DN (Downtown). The site is surrounded by single family residential use on the east and west, mixed use and commercial to the north, and commercial property to the south.  The proposed development is located on a .25 acre. (+10,890) s.f. property. There appears tol be some discrepancy between thel legal description for the property and the actual area available for building. Prior to submitting for final site plan, the applicant will need to identify actual dimensions of the buildable area oft the lot based on a survey of the property. Thisi issue will impact the proposed parking layout on the site. Based on an analysis oft the building design, the building official has determined that a disabled person parking space is not required based on the applicable building code. However section 14-7-112C9 requires that street-facing ground floor units be ADA accessible to provide for conversion to a future commercial use. Without the need for the accessible space, the proposal meets the parking standards oft the Code including required covered parking and guest spaces with room to spare. Ifan accessible space is required, it willl be necessary for more detailed property information to determine ift the lot can accommodate adequate parking for the Thej proposed building meets the required setback and height standards for the DN Zone. Because the building is located at least 200 feet from the 100 west right of way the maximum building height is 55 feet. The proposed building is approximately 46 feet and four stories in height with one unit located on the ground floor and the remainder above. The applicant proposes building materials consisting ofa a mix of EIFS and brick. Color renderings of the buildings are attached to this report. Iti is recommended that some brick be added to the south façade as this area will bel highly visible from 500 South. The proposed structure meets the required articulation standards of the ordinance and complies with the maximum 2:1 height to width ratio requirements. Ground floor units have entrances facing the public street: and balconies or patios are shown for each unit. The plan shows the minimum 10 percent of landscape area and the additional landscaping required by Code for multifamily development; however, a detailed landscape plan will G:ENGI Site!

A sidewalk is shown on the west side oft thej property running along the proposed parking area. The Code allows for sidewalks to occupy a total of30 percent oft the required landscape area. Based on the required landscape area the sidewalk will need to be reduced. Iti is recommended that the sidewalk be pulled back to the south edge oft the Access to the site will be via a single driveway on 400 South. Water and sewer will be provided via connections to existing lines in 400 South. Storm water drainage design will need to be further refined prior to submittal for final site plan approval.

Department Review and by the Fire Marshall. Significant Impacts  This proposal has been reviewed by the Engineering, Power, and Planning Departments  The applicant will need to demonstrate how storm water impacts to the site will be handled.

Amendment for Mixed Use Development On Pad A of Renaissance Town Center Property Address: 1501 S. Renaissance Town Drive Author: Chad Wilkinson, Planning Director  BOUNTIFUL EST.1847  Department: Planning Date: November 20, 2018  Background  The applicant, Bruce Broadhead, requests site plan approval for "Pad A" (shown now as Lot 9) of the Renaissance Town Center Development. The plan was originally approved in April of 2017 and a six month extension was granted In April of 2018. That extension has now expired and so the site plan must be reapproved in order to move forward. The proposal still includes 40 units and retains the approximately 5,500 square feet of commercial space  located on the street level originallyapproved.  Analysis  The submitted plan substantially complies with the previously approved plan. The primary reason for including an expiration date on site plans is to ensure that projects meet current Codes when constructed. A secondary reason is to provide motivation for projects to be completed in a timely manner. Ini this case, there have been no substantial changes to the Code in the intervening: year and a half since the original approval. The project is very close toj permit issuance and the reauthorization will allow the developer to move forward with the project. However in order to avoid any conflicts with future code changes, building permits should be obtained in a timely manner. Therefore, iti is recommended thata condition be required to obtain al building permit within 61 months of the re-approval.  Department Review Significant Impacts  This item has been reviewed by the City Planner and City Engineer.  Since the site plan substantially complies with the plan approved 18 months ago, impacts on City infrastructure from the development have been anticipated and accounted for.  Recommendation:  Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval to  the City Council for the site plan subject to the following conditions:    1. Obtain al building permit for the project within 6 months and keep the permit active. 2. Atleast one of the parking spaces for the development shall be a van-accessible  disabled person parking space.  Attachments 1. Aerial photo 2.
