Mr. Poole presented the staff report. The applicants, Rafael Chavez Jr. and Nathan Polatis, have requested a variance to allow the property to be subdivided without meeting the minimum corner lot setback and width requirements. The property is located in the R-4 zoning district. The applicants would like to subdivide the properties of Bountiful City Land Use Ordinance section 14-2-108 states that an applicant, board or officer of the City, or any person adversely affected by a Land Use Authority's decision administering or interpreting a land use ordinance or ruling on a request for a variance may, within fourteen calendar days of the written decision, appeal that decision to the Appeal Authority. No other appeals may be The appeal must be in writing and specifically allege that there is an error in an order, requirement, decision or determination by the Land Use Authority. The appellant shall state every theory of relief The applicants have requested a variance to allow for subdivision of the property without meeting the current corner lot set back requirements in the R-4 zone. The existing home is 17: feet from 325 West. Thel home was constructed in 1902. In 1984 Meadow Brook Acres Plat B was approved to the north of the property. In addition to the plat approval 325 West was expanded which explains the current setback of17: feet of the home. The need for the variance arises from thel location oft the existing home. Section 14-4-105 C: states that a corner lot side yard setback "shall not bel less than twenty (20) feet... ? Because oft the expansion of 325 West which caused the home to become non-compliant a variance is needed. In addition to the issues related to the required setback, the lot does not meet the minimum width standard of the R-4 ordinance. The property is currently approximately 58 feet wide and the resulting Lot 1 oft the proposed. subdivision would maintain that lot width. The minimum lot width for a corner lot in the R-4 zone is 80 feet (ten feet wider than an interior lot). The resulting lot will be approximately 22 feet narrower than the minimum lot size. Section 14-2-404 A stated that a nonconformity shall not be changed except in conformance with the provision of the land use ordinance. Therefore in order to modify the property a variance must be obtained for the lot width Staff recommends approval of the requested variance in order to allow the property to be subdivided without meeting the minimum corner lot setback and lot width requirements ofthel R-4 zone.

The setbacks run with the land regardless of the property owners. conjunction with an application for subdivision located at 306 W 4001 North. voting aye. Chad Wilkinson presented the staffr report. The applicant, Liberty Hills Academy, requests a zoning ordinance text amendment in order to add The Downtown zone has been the focus of a great deal of discussion over the past year, mostly related to architectural and design standards and the appropriate mix of uses in the area. The Downtown Zoning district was originally adopted in 2006 as a mixed use commercial and residential zone. The purpose and objectives section for the district states that the zone was "established to provide a district primarily for the preservation of the mixed use character of the commercial and residential uses in and adjacent to the Main Street downtown area." As with each of the zones in the City, a table listing permitted, conditional, and prohibited uses was adopted with the zoning district. The table of allowed uses does not currently include public or private schools as an allowed use in the Downtown zone. The proposed amendment would include private schools as and allowed use in order to develop a private school use in the Wight House building. While it is impossible to know all the potential reasons schools were excluded from the list of allowed uses when the Downtown zone was adopted over a decade ago, there are some significant policy issues that should be considered when deliberating a Main Street remains the most viable location for businesses and restaurants in Downtown. While the proposed amendment would allow school uses throughout the downtown zone, the pending application would locate a school along Main Street in the core area of downtown. This core area, starting at 200 South and extending to 100 North, was the first portion of the downtown targeted for redevelopment by the City and has seen a significant investment in infrastructure by the Redevelopment Agency of Bountiful. This area has also seen a tremendous amount of private reinvestment with recent redevelopments of Zion's Bank, the Hepworth mixed use buildings at 100 South and Main, the Creative Arts Academy, and others. Recent discussions and direction from the Council over the past year have included a desire to continue to focus commercial use and higher densities to areas near Main Street. Because frontage on Main Street is a limited commodity, the uses allowed on Main Street should be carefully considered. During the recent policy discussions regarding Main Street, it was acknowledged in Code adopted by the Council that ground floor Main Street frontage should not be Private Schools as an allowed use in the Downtown (DN) zoning district. possible change to the ordinance. Bountiful City Planning Commission Minutes - July 17, 2018 Page 4 of7 taken up by residential use, but should be preserved for commercial use. Similarly, it is appropriate to discuss whether a school use is a good fit within this core commercial area in downtown. This is not a reflection on the use itself, but a question as to whether this is thel highest and best use for the Main Street area. The Zoning Ordinance includes private schools as an allowed use on most lands within the City. Approximately 79 percent of the land area in the City is currently zoned for private school use. All residentially zoned properties, including those zoned single family and multifamily, include private schools as an allowed use. The areas where private schools are not allowed are limited to those zones where there is a higher potential for commercial use. These areas include commercial corridors such as 500 West, 500 South and the historic Downtown area. Main Street is specifically the portion of the downtown area most likely to support commercial use. While individual non- commercial uses have been allowed in the past on Main Street, it is critical that the Council preserve as much Main Street frontage for commercial and restaurant use, particularly in the core area of In recent policy discussions, the Council has expressed a desire to attract additional restaurants to the downtown area. This direction is consistent with the 2009 Downtown Master Plan which identifies insufficient dining, entertainment and shopping opportunities as an issue of concern and establishes goals and policies to attract additional dining opportunities. One of the challenges in establishing restaurants in the City is finding locations that allow for alcohol licenses. State law requires minimum separations from community locations, such as churches, parks, libraries, and schools. This limits the Although there are uses such as the existing dance school and educational uses associated with The Joy Foundation and the BDAC, these types of educational facilities are included in a separate category in State Law and are not subject to the same distance restrictions as a school use. The school use would limit issuance of restaurant alcohol licenses within 200 feet of the school as measured in a The Downtown zone already contains a large area where restaurants could not gain approval for alcohol licenses based on the location of the Tabernacle and the soon-to-be constructed public plaza. Allowing schools in the Downtown zone could potentially further limit opportunities for the City to attract restaurant uses to the downtown or to allow for existing restaurants to add alcohol service. Although the current application is a legislative decision impacting the entire Downtown zone, some discussion oft the characteristics oft the Wight House property is appropriate. One of the main concerns in establishing a school use in the Wight House location is the lack ofnearby outdoor recreation space for students attending the school. Although the applicant has indicated that students will use the interior of the building for recreation, this does not seem ideal and it is anticipated that there will be a desire for some outdoor recreation space in the future for the school. Parking areas to the rear of the building are shared by all businesses on the block and include a large parking lot owned by the Redevelopment Agency. In addition to serving the adjacent businesses, these areas are currently used tos support downtown events and must remain open to the public. Another operational concern is the There would be several major impacts associated with adding private schools as an allowed use in the Downtown (DN) zone. As mentioned above, the inclusion of private schools could impact the City Council's goals to attract additional restaurant uses to the downtown area because of distance downtown. number ofl locations where ai restaurant serving alcohol can locate. straight line or within 300 feet as measured by the shortest pedestrian route. potential impact of drop-off and pick-up ofs students on adjacent businesses. Bountiful City Planning Commission Minutes - July 17, 2018 Page 5of7 restrictions for alcohol licenses placed on restaurants by State Code. Although specific to the proposed location on Main Street, the inclusion of a school in the Wight House property will also occupy a portion of the frontage on Main Street in the core area of downtown. This area is critical for maintaining adequate property to attract commercial and restaurant use to the downtown. While the City supports the establishment of private schools (as evidenced by zoning almost 80 percent of the City to allow the use) this location is not conducive to the goals and policies the Council has set for the Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of denial to the City Ms. Thompson stated that the school has 50 students and school hours are 8:30 -2:30 and there will be plans to use the building for afterhours tutoring, recitals, receptions, or general meetings.

Chair Monson closed the Public Hearing at 7:49 p.m. Mr. Wilkinson stated that he understands that the Planning Commission has a difficult decision to make.

There are long term impacts to the decisions that are made. Ifthis is a zone change that the Commission members want to approve then the best policy is to change the entire zone and not "contract" zone as things change in the years to come. Private schools are allowed in other zones with a Conditional Use Permit with conditions being placed Mr. Bell thanked the applicant for presenting a nice project however he believes that the approval of this item goes against everything that the city has been working sO hard in creating the Downtown There was discussion between Commission members and applicant about the type of business this school is.

The variance is being requested in order to construct a detached BOUNTIFUL EST.1892 garage Address: 146 West 100 South Author: Date: Curtis W. Poole, Assistant Planner August14,2018 Description of Request The applicant, Jan Rawlins, has requested a variance to City Code 14-4-105J.2.b b., which will allow for thel building footprint of accessory structures existing and proposed to exceed 15% oft the lot or parcel area. The purpose oft the variance is to construct: a detached garage. The property is in the R-4 zone. Authority Section 14-2-1llauthorizes the Planning Commission as the review body for variance requests related to accessory structures. Appeal Procedure Bountiful City Land Use Ordinance section 14-2-108 states that an applicant, board or officer of the City, or any person adversely affected by a Land Use Authority's decision administering ori interpreting a land use ordinance or ruling on a request for a variance may, within fourteen calendar days oft the written decision, appeal that decision to the Appeal Authority. No other appeals may be made tot the. Appeal Authority. The appeal must be in writing and specifically allege that there is an error in an order, requirement, decision or determination by the Land Use. Authority. The appellant shall state every theory of relief thati it can raise in District Court. Background and Analysis The applicant has requested a variance to allow for a detached garage tol be constructed that would exceed the 15% total lot size maximum footprint of all accessory: structures. The home was built in the 1930's, and the two car garage is proposed by the applicant to meet her current needs. On August14, 2017, the applicant received approval ofal lot line adjustment that increased the lot size to .261 acres or 11,369 square feet. On the new parcel that was conveyed to the applicant was an old barn. Section 14-4-105J.2. b.states, "The total building footprint of any and all accessory structures shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) oft the entire lot or parcel area, and no lot or parcel shall be reduced in area after the construction of an accessory building, such thati iti is in violation ofthis provision." Based on the new lot size, the total square footage of accessory structures that can be built on thej property is 1,705. The existing barn, which the applicant would like to keep, is 1,322 square feet. Thej proposed detached garage is 728 square feet, which exceeds the maximum allowed by 345 square feet, or an 18% total footprint. Variance Findings Utah Code 10-9a-702 establishes the criteria for review ofa variance request. In order to () Literal enforcement ofthe ordinance would cause an unreasonable hardship. for the applicant that is not necessary to carry out the general purpose ofthe land use grant a variance each of the following criteria must be met: ordinances; Staff Response: State law states that a hardship cannot be self-imposed or an economic hardship. A variance will not be necessary if compliance is possible with an alteration to proposed plans. With modifications to the size oft the proposed garage or existing barn footprints compliance is possible. Therefore, the need for the variance is self-imposed and (ii) There are special circumstances attached to the property that do not generally apply Staff Response: The lot does have an existing barn that was acquired through a lot line adjustment which is not common among similar properties in the R-4 zone. However, the applicant could choose to remove a portion oft the barn or to construct a smaller garage without the need for a variance. The lot size and shape are similar to other lots in the zone and the variance is requested not because ofa unique circumstance but rather in order to (li) Granting the variance is essential to the enjoyment ofas substantial property yright Staff Response: The ability to construct accessory buildings is always constrained by the available square footage ofa a lot. Other lots int the R-4: zone share this common constraint. Therefore, requiring the applicant to meet the standard footprint for accessory units as required by code does not deprive a property right that is available to other similar) lots. (iv) The variance will not substantially affect the general plan and will not be contrary to Staff Response: One oft the purposes ofl limiting building square footage for accessory structures is to ensure that accessory structures do not become the primary use on a lot, and toj preserve open space. The code requires that accessory structures should not exceed does not constitute a hardship. to other, properties in the same zone; exceed the maximum lot coverage. possessed by other property in the same. zone; the public interest; 15% oft the total square footage oft the property. Increasing the allowable building footprint and decreasing the amount of open space is contrary to the public interest. (v) Thespirit oft the land use ordinance is observed and: substantial justice done Staff Response: The land use ordinance includes maximum accessory building standards in order to preserve open space and to make sure that accessory structures do not dominate al lot. Approving a variance to these standards is not consistent with the spirit oft the land use ordinance. Department Review City Planner, City Engineer, City Attorney Recommended Action Staffr recommends denial oft the requested variance, based on analysis of the required review criteria from State lawi included in the findings above and the materials submitted by the applicant.

This three lot subdivision proposes to combine and then split the existing residential properties at 292 West and 306 West 400 North Street. The properties are currently occupied by a two single family homes with a couple of sheds and a detached garage. All oft the structures are proposed to remain on their respective lots while the combined rear yards will be divided offt to create the new third lot. Analysis The two lots combine to form a 0.73 acre parcel which will be divided into three lots, each with enough area to meet the minimum lot size requirement for the R-4 zone, in which they are located. Lot 1, a corner lot, was the subject of a variance granted by the Planning Commission on. July 17, 2018 to allow for at frontage along 400 No. St. less than the required 80ft. The lot was turned into a corner lot and reduced in size when 325 West Street was extended to 400 North ini the late '70s or early '80s. Lot 1 has the zone required frontage along 325 West and contains 8,806 s.f., which exceeds the minimum lot size of 8,800 s.f. for a corner lot. The other two lots both exceed the minimum required size and frontage requirements for the zone. All utilities are already serving the two lots along 400 North Street but the new lot will require a full set of utilities. Since no sewer exists in 325 West, a sewer lateral will need to be extended under the Barton Creek culvert to meet the sewer main ini the intersection of 600 N and 325 There is a existing 10" culinary water line in 325 West which will be used to provide the culinary water service to a new house on lot 3, however there is no fire hydrant with in the code minimum distance from the property, sO a new fire hydrant will be required across 325 West from the new lot. The Developer will be required to bond for and install the new: sewer lateral and pay the City tol have the hydrant installed before any building permit will be approved for this lot. The power, phone, and cable lines are all overhead ini the area and already serve the existing lots. A new Public Utility Easement will be required on the final plat to cover the overhead power lines that cross the property near the new south boundary of lot 3 West. Because the concrete channel containing Barton Creek occupies the north 151 ft. ofthis property, a new easement to cover the actual channel and additional ground along the channel for access is required. The final plat will need to show a 301 ft. wide easement along the north side of lot 3 to cover the needs of Barton Creek and the Davis County Flood Control. Because all ofl lot 3 is in the currently mapped 100 year flood plain, a Flood Plain Development Permit will be required from Bountiful City, along with an elevation certificate showing that there are no openings into any home built on lot 3 which are below the 100 year flood All oft the necessary surface improvements (C&G, sidewalk, etc.) are already in place, and the improvements along 400 North have recently been replaced. Any damaged street improvements along the lot 3 frontage will be required to be repaired with the construction of elevation. the sewer lateral. Department Review The proposed preliminary and final plats have been reviewed by the Engineering Department and Planning Department, and the proposed plat has been given a complete technical review by the Engineering Department. Recommendation conditions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Recommend preliminary and final approval of the Nathan's Subdivision with the following Provide a current title report.
