PUBLIC HEARING- - Zoning Text Amendment adopting a new Open Space zoning district and Zone Map Amendment from R-F (Residential Foothill) and R-4 (Single Family Residential 4 units per acre) to 0-S (Open Space) for three properties totaling 80 acres at approximately  1300 N 900 East and 1350 Skyline Drive, Bountiful City, applicant.  Chad Wilkinson presented staff report.  In late 2015, the City Council considered a request for a letter of support for a potential land swap between the U.S. Forest Service and a private land owner. The property under consideration included approximately 72 acres of Forest Service property within the Bountiful City limits adjacent to the northern boundary of the City (the original land-swap proposal included additional property outside the City limits that is not part of the current Zone Map Amendment). After considering public comment on the proposal, the Council determined that they would not support the proposed land swap and directed staff to begin the process of creating a new Open Space zoning designation. The current proposal includes: 1) the adoption of an Open Space zoning designation along with development standards and permitted uses, and 2) an amendment to the zoning map to change approximately 80 Bountiful is blessed with beautiful open space areas in the mountains and foothills to the east. These areas in and around the City provide opportunities for hiking, biking and other forms of recreation. In addition, Bountiful City maintains a network of parks and recreation areas including the Bountiful Ridge Golf Course that provide facilities for sports, recreation, relaxation, and venues for public gatherings and events. The 2009 Bountiful City General Plan calls for the identification and preservation of open space areas throughout and surrounding the City. Although the general plan does not specifically call for the adoption of an Open Space zoning district, creation of an Open Space zone  acres from R-4 and R-F: zoning to the new O-S designation.  Bountiful City Planning Commission Minutes - April 4, 2017  Page lof6    isal logical way to identify and preserve areas that should be conserved as open space.  The proposed Open Space Zoning standards restrict development on open space properties to public facilities and recreation facilities. Examples of public facilities which could be allowed would include trail head parking lots and restrooms, utility buildings and facilities, and utility lines and appurtenances. The zoning standards are restrictive in nature and do not allow for residential or commercial development. Because some of the properties along the foothills of Bountiful are ideal for placement of wireless telecommunications facilities (cell towers) these facilities have also been The current proposal for a zoning map amendment includes the Forest Service property that was the subject of the land swap discussion and which includes the Bountiful Lions Club gun range. As the Planning Commission has discussed the potential Open Space zone, a desire has been expressed to extend the designation not only to undeveloped open space areas surrounding the City, but also to public parks and public recreation facilities. Therefore, the proposed zone map amendment includes the Twin Hollow Park property. It is anticipated that future zone map amendments will be brought forward which will rezone all public park areas and other publicly owned properties (including the golf course), as open space. In order to effectively provide an opportunity for public input on individual properties proposed for Open Space zoning, the City will amend the zoning of identified open space areas through a series of public hearings rather than one all-encompassing amendment. This will provide for focused discussions ofindividual properties and allow for effective management of! public noticing. The current amendment is limited to only the property associated with the previous The subject properties included in the current proposal include existing public recreational facilities. In addition, the Forest Service property is crossed by a section of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail as identified on the preliminary alignment for this regional trail system. The location and characteristics oft the properties make them excellent candidates for inclusion in the Open Space zone. The proposed adoption of the Open Space Zoning District and zone map amendment will have a positive impact on residents of Bountiful by identifying and preserving open space areas for use and Itis recommended that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council for the proposed ordinance text amendment adopting the O-S (Open Space) zoning district and the zoning map amendment of three parcels totaling 80.27 acres from R-4 (Single Family  included as permitted and conditional uses.  land swap proposal and the adjoining park.  enjoyment by the public.

Consider approval of an amended site plan for a 40 unit mixed use office and residential building located at 1501 S Renaissance Towne Dr, Bruce Broadhead, applicant. Bruce Broadhead and Ray Bryson were present. Chad Wilkinson presented the staffr report. The applicant, Bruce Broadhead, requests an amendment to the site plan approved for "Pad A" (shown now as Lot 9) of the Renaissance Town Center Development. The current proposal includes two additional residential units bringing the total to 40 units and retains the approximately 5,500 square feet of commercial space located on the street level originally approved. The applicant also proposes some changes to the building architecture including a revised architectural element at the north west The Site Plan was originally approved by the Commission and Council in October of 2016 and the submitted plan substantially complies with the previously approved plan. As the building has progressed though the detailed design process, the applicant has found that two additional units can be accommodated within the existing footprint, including the required covered parking for both of these units. Because the applicant is adding units to the development, approval of an amendment to the site The revised architecture proposed will add a corner element to the building at the intersection of1500 South and Renaissance Towne Center Drive. The final subdivision plat will require some slight modifications to accommodate the current design and those changes will need to be submitted for review and approval by the Commission and Council. The development requires a release of easement that will need to be approved by the Council. Prior to release of the easement, the applicant will need to coordinate with the power department on the locations of meters and power transformers The proposed change is not expected to have significant impacts.

Bell, Higginson, Hill, Smith and Spratley voting aye.  1200 North, Renee Moncur representing MFFP.LLC, applicant.  Renee Moncur and Von Hill were present. Chad Wilkinson presented staff report.  Ms. Renee Moncur is requesting preliminary and final approval oft the Moncur Subdivision. This two lot subdivision proposes to split the existing residential property at 1184 No. 400 East Street. The property is currently occupied by a single home which will end up on one lot and a detached garage The property at 1305 S. Main Street contains 0.45 acres and is not currently located in a subdivision. The division creates two lots, one containing 11,082 sf. and the other containing 8,506 sf., both larger than the required minimum lot size for the zone. Both lots also have more than the required frontage for lots in the R-4 Zone. Bountiful Code does not allow an accessory structure on a lot without a primary use. As such the existing detached garage will be located on the new lot without al house and will have tol be removed ifa a primary structure (house) is not constructed within a relative short amount of time. There is no specific time spelled out in the zoning ordinance for this compliance but, as staff, we feel that three months after the plat is recorded is a fair amount of time to allow for a new home permit to be applied for. Ifan new home permit has not been applied for within three months ofthe plat All utilities are already serving the corner lot. The water and sewer services for the east lot will be connected to the main lines in 1200 North Street. The power, phone, and cable lines are all overhead in the area and already serve the existing lot.
