The property consists of about 406 acres in the vicinity of 2982 East Benchmark Drive, referred to as Parley's Pointe. The deadline extension would give the property 18 - 1 MINUTES OF THE SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MEETING TUESDAY, APRIL 10 , 2018 owner an additional four years to satisfy the conditions of the ordinance. If granted, this would be the fourth deadline extension the City has granted. View Attachments Wayne Mills and Nick Tarbet briefed the Council with attachments . Comments included this being the fourth extension, annexation issues, additional time needed to meet requirements of settlement agreement, and delays caused by economic downturn. Councilmember Mendenhall said Council action was proposed for April 17, 2018 . #2 . 3:17:53 PM RECEIVE A BRIEFING REGARDING AN ORDINANCE THAT WOULD AMEND THE CITY' S ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT (ADU) REGULATIONS PURSUANT TO PETITION NO. PLNPCM2014-00447 . ADUs are small apartments that share a lot with a single-family home. They can be basement apartments, above and inside garages, or entirely separate buildings. Currently, new ADU permits are only available for properties located a half mile or less from a fixed rail transit stop. The proposal would: • Allow ADUs Citywide o as conditional uses in the FR (Foothill Residential District) and R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning districts. o as permitted uses in all other residential zoning districts that already allow duplexes, triplexes, and multi-family as permitted uses. • Prohibit ADUs from being used as short-term rentals. • Require properties with ADUs to have a deed restriction stating that the owner must occupy the property. • Create different standards for Attached and Detached ADUs. • Change the wording of some standards for clarity. View Attachments Nick Tarbet, Nick Norris, and Mary Beth Thompson briefed the Council with attachments and a PowerPoint presentation . Comments included conflicts with other sections of the City Code, potential for Conditional Use process in R-1 zone only, different requirements for attached/detached units, some regulations apply to all ADUs, technical language changes, enforcement, prohibition for short-term rentals, ordinance standards intended to address potential impacts, confusion about conditional uses/process, localized impact from ADUs, "shall" versus "should" design standards, neighborhood notification requirements, plan review 18 - 2 MINUTES OF THE SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MEETING TUESDAY, APRIL 10 , 2018 process, potential State law violations, parking requirements, setback/height requirements, square footage restrictions, limits/standards on accessory structures, affordable housing issues, mitigate impacts of ADUs, enforcement approach vs . goal- oriented approach, simplify owner occupancy requirements, address 720 square foot requirement, evaluate business license requirements, supplemental income, utilize best practices, good landlord program, potential tenant/landlord issues, develop ordinance to avoid conflicts, widespread misinformation about ADUs, and the need for additional City Staff/resources . Discussion was held on potential issues/problems, such as having to remove an ADU if an owner decided not to live in the principal residence and requiring a business license for a "for- profit" ADU versus one "not-for-profit (for a family-member) . Ms . Thompson said currently, the City did not require a business license if a person signed an affidavit stating they had a relative living with them. Councilmember Wharton expressed concerns about a tenant' s rights/legal recourse if they signed a lease and then the owner decided to move away. Mr. Norris said leases were private contracts which were different than the City' s zoning ordinance . He said that was an interesting issue which he would look into and get information back to Council . Councilmember Wharton asked how other cities dealt with the owner-occupancy requirement. Mr. Norris said cities with successful ADU programs eliminated that requirement. Councilmember Wharton said public outreach efforts needed to provide clear information about owner-occupancy requirements . Councilmember Johnston spoke about the Urban Design Study being conducted by the University of Utah. Mr. Norris said their final report was needed before it could be thoroughly analyzed. Councilmember Johnston said a lot of the proposed restrictions did not make sense to him. He said going forward, he hoped the City could find a way to balance fears about ADUs with actual data and find a way to make this work well for people it was intended for. He said provisions that could not be enforced needed to be left out of the proposal . Councilmember Kitchen said at some point, the Council needed to hold further discussions about including (or not) a specific prohibition on allowing ADUs to be used as short-term rentals . 18 - 3 MINUTES OF THE SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MEETING TUESDAY, APRIL 10 , 2018 Councilmember Mendenhall asked if Council Members were in support of holding additional briefings (to further discuss issues raised during the discussion/along with other proposed changes identified in the Council Staff report) . No objections were raised. Councilmember Luke said he was concerned that affordability was not being discussed as part of the proposal and proposed the following straw poll : Include a requirement in the ordinance that any ADU approved in an R-1 zone (no other zones) , have a maximum rent of 50% Area Median Income (AMI) with the exclusion that units being used by a direct family member of the homeowner would be exempt from the AMI requirement. Following discussion on the straw poll, a majority of the Council felt further discussion was needed about the proposal before moving forward. Councilmember Luke said based on the discussion, the straw poll was not needed. Further discussion was held about the Conditional Use process . Mr. Norris said there was a lot of confusion and felt in order to help the public better understood what to expect, his Staff would spend more time reviewing the process internally. Discussion was held on public engagement tools identified on Page 2 of the attached Staff report. Councilmember Mendenhall said the tools could be utilized to provide clear direction on the public process envisioned by the Council (how to inform the public and solicit their feedback) . She said this effort would come from the Council Office, not in coordination with the Administration. Straw Polls: • Council support for direct email to Community Council Chairs/recognized community organizations . All Council Members were in favor. • Council support for Open City Hall . All Council Members were in favor. • Council support to distribute information via website/email updates/social media. All Council Members were in favor. • Council support for Postcard mailing or other notification about proposed changes (delivered Citywide to all residential properties) . Mr. Tarbet suggesting delaying this until the Council had an opportunity to discuss issues, so Staff could clearly articulate what the final proposal was (identify public hearing dates/let public know exact ways to provide 18 - 4 MINUTES OF THE SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MEETING TUESDAY, APRIL 10 , 2018 feedback to the Council) . Councilmember Mendenhall asked if Council Members were in support of delaying a straw poll until the Council felt there was enough consensus to proceed. All Council Members were in favor. Mr. Tarbet said following Council action, Staff would use the above methods (except postcards) to get information back to people who provided feedback throughout the process concerning the final outcome/decision. Councilmember Mendenhall said a follow-up briefing could be considered/scheduled for May 1, 2018 . #3 . 4:22:45PM HOLD A FOLLOW-UP DISCUSSION ABOUT THE CITY' S FUNDING NEEDS AND REVENUE OPTIONS, INCLUDING THE PROPOSED SALES TAX INCREASE, AND THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT TO DATE. New revenue could be used toward street maintenance, road reconstruction projects and other infrastructure needs, transit, neighborhood safety, and affordable housing. The potential sales tax increase would raise Salt Lake City's portion of sales tax by 0. 5 percent, or 5 cents on a $10 purchase. • Additional sales tax would generate about $33 million per year in additional revenue • Sales tax is paid on most purchases made in the City - except food groceries • About 600 of sales tax revenue is paid by nonresidents - office workers, visitors and tourists. View Attachments Lehua Weaver, Elizabeth Buehler, Mike Reberg, Lisa Schaffer, and Dawn Wagner briefed the Council with attachments . Ms . Wagner presented information about the bond proposal . Comments included bond parameters limited to reconstruction (bond proceeds not allowed for maintenance issues) , preference to distribute $87 million bond in three issuances, priorities from Pavement Condition Study (PCS) data, collaboration between City departments, proposal not including any new roads in the Northwest Quadrant (NWQ) , high-level cost estimates for planning purposes, six-year outlook, and bond issuance time limit (projects needed to be completed within 3-years) . Ms . Weaver said when a bond proposal was approved by voters, the City had 10 years to issue those bonds . She said the City would probably choose to do multiple bond issuances . She said each issuance had to go through an entire Council process (public 18 - 5 MINUTES OF THE SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MEETING TUESDAY, APRIL 10 , 2018 notice, public hearings, final action) . She said it would be easier for Engineering to manage/implement funding with multiple issuances . Councilmember Fowler asked how specific ballot language needed to be regarding how and on what the money would be spent. Ms . Weaver said the Council could be as specific as it wanted to and there would be conversations over the summer about what that language would look like. She said the caution about being specific was that once stated, it was exactly what the City had to issue the bonds for/spend the money on. She said the Council had the option to be more general with ballot language such as bonding for street reconstruction projects (voting would be on that general topic) . She said supporting documents could include specific streets because supporting language was not binding on how the City had to spend the funds . Discussion was held about finding a meaningful way to educate residents about when they could expect to see tax increases relative to bond issuances . Discussion was held on various street reconstruction scenarios/funding identified in the attachment. Comments included pros/cons between arterials vs collectors (80/20 - 60/40) , finding proper balance, deferred maintenance, Council input in prioritizing street projects, providing flexibility, policy discussions, life expectancy of streets, Transit Master Plan, bus routes, buy-in from residents, add new asphalt crew for surface treatment (would double capacity) , new equipment/storage needs, and long-term vision/process . Mr. Reberg said the PCS ranked every street, arterial, and collector in the City from best to worst. He said there was a lot of room to modify/prioritize the rankings . Councilmember Kitchen said 400 West needed to be included as a priority and rankings needed to be compared to Citywide goals . Councilmember Mendenhall asked if Council Members wanted to start policy discussions on street prioritization or request the Administration come back with a full list of the worst roads in the City. Councilmember Luke said he wanted to see something from the Administration that included potential bond language for the ballot and that would provide flexibility for Engineering during construction. He said the language also needed to be specific enough for bonding requirements and to help residents understand 18 - 6 MINUTES OF THE SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MEETING TUESDAY, APRIL 10 , 2018 how funding would be spent (accountability/transparency) . Councilmember Johnston requested additional information regarding how new sale tax revenue would impact ongoing street maintenance issues (would a portion of the new revenue be added to the City' s ongoing annual budget for streets) . He said he also wanted to see how bond proceeds would interface/enhance street reconstruction/maintenance. Further discussion was held on how to make the best decisions regarding 80/20 vs 60/40 splits (or some other split) and how to leverage sales tax, bond, and General Fund revenue to complete the most lane-miles possible . Councilmember Rogers said his district did not contain arterials and wanted to ensure local roads would be addressed. Ms . Schaffer said asphalt crews would use an 80/20 split to focus mainly on local streets . Councilmember Rogers requested a cost comparison between hiring additional City Staff versus hiring outside vendors . Ms . Schaffer said she would provide that information. Councilmember Luke requested information about what resources would be available from the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) to supplement street reconstruction (including a list of streets that would fit within that scope, and a funding amount) . Discussion was held on the importance of coordinating street reconstruction efforts with Public Utilities and other City departments . Mr. Reberg said Public Utilities was involved in preparing the road list. Councilmember Mendenhall requested information about those conversations . Straw Poll: Request that Staff work with the Administration and come back with recommendations from the RDA for streets that would leverage RDA policy discussions including any financial tools they could bring to roadway conversations as well as any Public Utilities capital improvement projects as they overlaid with the street assessment/list . All Council Members were in support. Mr. Reberg said for clarification, was the Council asking for streets that met the worst conditions and also fell within potential RDA areas . Councilmember Mendenhall said that was correct. Further discussion was held about collaboration between City 18 - 7 MINUTES OF THE SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MEETING TUESDAY, APRIL 10 , 2018 departments . Councilmember Johnston said the Council had not discussed stormwater or curb and gutter in relation to the proposal and asked if that would be addressed in street reconstruction discussions . Ms . Wagner said some streets were scheduled further down the list because additional discussion/coordination was needed with Public Utilities and other departments . She said Public Utilities was required to pay for the storm drainage portion so they were involved with the Roadway Selection Committee in preparing the list . Councilmember Mendenhall asked Ms . Wagner to provide the Council with details about that collaboration (how funds would be leveraged) . Councilmember Johnston said those questions would come up in public outreach efforts so it was important for the Council to have that information. Ms . Weaver said Staff would follow-up with more information on sales tax/bond and how that would be used toward affordable housing, police officers/neighborhood security, and transit . Councilmember Mendenhall said the Council would consider taking formal action on the sales tax component on April 17, 2018 . Councilmember Luke said he would be absent from the meeting but would try to connect via phone. #4 . 6:09:47 PM RECEIVE A FOLLOW-UP BRIEFING ABOUT THE MAYOR' S FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS AND AN APPROPRIATIONS RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE ONE-YEAR ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR 2018-2019. The Plan includes Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, HOME Investment Partnership Program funding, Emergency Solutions Grant (ES(3) funding, Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) funding, for Fiscal Year 2018-2019 and approving an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement between Salt Lake City and the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) . View Attachments Benjamin Luedtke, Melissa Jensen, and Jennifer Schumann briefed the Council with attachments . Discussion was held on the following items listed in the attachments : NEW INFORMATION ITEMS Potential Funding Shifts : 1 . Bicycle Collective Goodwill Bikes Program (CDBG Public Services #14) 2 . Wasatch Homeless Healthcare Medical Outreach Team (aka Fourth Street Clinic) (CDBG Public Services #21) . Mr . Luedtke said he understood these items would be included in the Mayor' s 18 - 8 MINUTES OF THE SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MEETING TUESDAY, APRIL 10 , 2018 recommended budget . Councilmember Wharton asked if the two entities had been given updated information. Ms . Jensen said the plan was to wait until the budget process was completed and presented to the Council before contacting them. Councilmember Wharton said he felt this was a critical service and was concerned about withholding funding. He said he hoped funding could be found during further budget discussions . Ms . Schumann said she was committed to working with the applicants to ensure they had the necessary tools to submit stronger applications in the future. Post Street and 1000 West Street Reconstructions. Mr. Luedtke said there was not enough time for a funding application to go through the normal Capital Improvement Program (CIP) process . He said the Administration could review the proposal and determine if it was eligible for street impact fees . Ms . Jensen said they would follow- up on the suggestion. Councilmember Mendenhall said if it was determined that impact fees could be used, she suggested having the applicant consider submitting a funding request through the upcoming budget or an amendment. St. Vincent de Paul Emergency Winter Overflow Shelter. Mr. Luedtke said money was still available which was appropriated for this purpose. He said the $200, 000 needed to be re-appropriated in the next annual budget for it to be available for next winter. Councilmember Mendenhall asked Mr. Luedtke to ensure this was included in the upcoming budget. HOME Funding Source Changes 1 . Program Income - No program income is available for FY19 . 2 . Unallocated Funds - $603,215 in unallocated funds are identified for FY19 . No objections were raised. HOPWA Funding Award Increase The grant award to the City increased 23% ($82 ,704 more than last year) . Councilmember Mendenhall asked the Administration to work with area service providers to explore plans for growth in their organizations and ensure they were aware of increased funding opportunities (potential to expand the pool of service providers) . Mr. Luedtke said the Council was scheduled to take action on April 17, 2018 . Councilmember Mendenhall reiterated the need for follow-up regarding street impact fee eligibility. Ms . Jensen said she would provide updated information to the Council during the upcoming week. 18 - 9 MINUTES OF THE SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MEETING TUESDAY, APRIL 10 , 2018 #5. 6:32:47 PM RECEIVE A BRIEFING REGARDING THE MAYOR' S RECOMMENDED BUDGET RELATING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC UTILITIES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2018-2019. View Attachments Laura Briefer, Jason Brown, Kurt Spjute, Jesse Stewart, and Samuel Owen briefed the Council with attachments . Ms . Briefer provided a budget overview of Water, Sewer, Storm Water, & Street Lighting utilities managed by the Department. Comments included core values, implementation with accountability, responsible investment, service areas, protect public health/environment, economic prosperity, revenue/expenditures, proposed rate increases, long-term capital plan, bonding/loans, road improvement projects, flood mitigation, hiring 14 additional full-time employees, adhere to regulatory requirements, ongoing maintenance issues, capital investments, watershed management planning, water conservation, water right adjudication, Wasatch Commission participation, smart meter replacement program (replace 90, 000 meters) , riparian corridor improvements, infrastructure/capital needs, Storm Water Master Plan update, high-efficiency lighting upgrades, update to 2006 Street Light Master Plan, energy cost savings, complaints about bright lights/public outreach, safety issues, regulatory/development deadlines, create stability in rate increases, clean water regulations for nutrient control, long- range forecasts, and Northwest Quadrant growth. Councilmember Wharton said he received mostly negative comments regarding lighting upgrades and asked when constituents would be given additional opportunities to provide input. Mr. Stewart said they were still working on a master plan update which would look at the City as a whole and include public outreach. He said it would be completed in late spring or summer. He said outreach efforts would include a community group comprised of a diverse number of stakeholders . Further discussion about projected growth in the NWQ/Inland Port included long-range capital improvement projects (water/sewer) , east/west conveyance waterline, prison impact, provide water/sewer capacity, development paid for by development (impact fees and connection fees) , ratepayer would not pay for benefits they did not receive, master plan projects, downstream capacity issues relating to sewer system, and update on 2008 Impact Fee Facilities Plan. Ms . Briefer said they were working with a consultant to prepare a Council presentation sometime in May, 2018 regarding the 18 - 10 MINUTES OF THE SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MEETING TUESDAY, APRIL 10 , 2018 Impact Fee Facilities Plan update . #6 . 7:21:44PM RECEIVE A BRIEFING REGARDING THE STATUS OF THE CITY' S WATER SUPPLY, WHICH CONSISTS IN PART OF RUNOFF FROM SNOWPACK, LOCAL STREAMS OF THE WASATCH CANYONS, DIVERSIONS FROM OTHER AREA RIVERS, AND GROUND WATER SUPPLIES SUCH AS WELLS. The update will address the status of these supplies in the context of current snowpack and runoff levels, and related implications from anticipated meteorological trends for the coming year. The City's Water Shortage Contingency Plan will also be discussed. View Attachments Laura Briefer, Jason Brown, Kurt Spjute, Jesse Stewart, and Samuel Owen briefed the Council with attachments . Comments included water supply forecasts, culinary service areas, exchange agreements, water sources (streams, reservoirs, groundwater, wells) , drought conditions (temperature/precipitation outlook) , stream runoff models, long-range planning strategies, water resource management, water conservation measures (Stage 1 Advisory) , best management practices, irrigation system improvements, conservation messaging/outreach, and State-mandated water conservation plans .

She said she was interested in how projected changes in the coming decades would be reflected in the management plan. Ms . Briefer said she would update the Council next year regarding the Water Conservation Plan required by State statute. #7 . 7:38:03 PM RECEIVE A BRIEFING REGARDING THE FOLLOWING ISSUES RELATED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF AIRPORTS: a) The draft Department of Airports Fiscal Year 2018-2019 budget that will be part of the Mayor' s recommended budget. b) An update of the Airport Redevelopment Program. View Attachments Bill Wyatt, Ryan Tesch, Kevin Robins, Mary Beth Thompson, and Russell Weeks briefed the Council with attachments . Comments included budget goals, maintaining aging facilities during new construction (how much to invest) , accommodating increasing airline activity, passenger traffic statistics, airline/non- airline revenue, rating agencies, debt service, Airport 18 - 11 MINUTES OF THE SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MEETING TUESDAY, APRIL 10 , 2018 Improvement Program, (AIP) , fuel costs, rental car facilities, airline leases, operating expenses, landing fees, terminal rentals, enhanced parking, ground transportation issues, advertising media, janitorial services, capital equipment, CIP projects, auxiliary airports, and hangar leases . Discussion was held regarding South Valley Regional Airport (SVRA) operations . Councilmember Luke expressed interest in reducing operations/limiting future investment at SVRA and increasing activity at the Tooele Valley Airport (TVA) . Mr. Wyatt said the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) existed to promote general aviation and were always concerned when there was talk about closing any airport. He said SVRA did not have instrument landing in place which restricted the types of aircraft that would/could use it. He said another issue was their flight path greatly impacted the capacity of the International Airport and it was important to have both airports operated by the same entity. He said SVRA property was originally owned by the United States Department of Defense and would revert back to them should operations cease at that airport. He said the property was not available for the City to give, sell, or do anything else with. He said there was potential/interest to further develop TVA. Councilmember Luke asked Airport Staff to continue to explore options regarding SVRA, explore restrictions/requirements for increasing operations at TVA, and look for opportunities to acquire another small airport. Mr. Wyatt said a new Airport Master Plan was contemplated for 2018 to update the 1996 plan. He said the plan would include both TVA and SVRA. He said he wanted to get a number of interested stakeholders, including West Jordan, around the table to discuss information about real market forces and what possibilities did/did not exist. Discussion was held on the potential impact of tariffs on the construction environment/budget at the Airport. Mr. Wyatt said bids for the North Concourse were finalized prior to the announcement so the project was still on time/on budget and he felt the project would continue that way. Discussion was held on potential raises for Airport employees . Mr. Wyatt said a 3-percent increase was being proposed which he understood was consistent with the General Fund proposal . Councilmember Mendenhall said the Council was not aware of that yet but thought that was good news . Mr. Wyatt said the Airport was 18 - 12 MINUTES OF THE SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MEETING TUESDAY, APRIL 10 , 2018 below market for most positions they needed to recruit for. He said it was concerning because once an organization fell behind, it was very difficult to catch up. Councilmember Mendenhall asked if Airport employees were included in the Citizens Compensation Advisory Committee (CCAC) evaluations every year. Ms . Thompson said yes . Councilmember Mendenhall said she understood the CCAC evaluation sought to put the City at 95% of market rate . Ms . Thompson said that was correct. She said the problem was when looking at the Airport, there were a lot of specialty skills and some of those job titles did not always reflect that specialty skill so one issue was the difference between the CCAC and the Airport. Councilmember Mendenhall said it sounded like the CCAC evaluation was less effective in some Airport roles because of the lack of clarity in their evaluation process concerning specific skills required for those positions . Ms . Thompson said there was that potential . Councilmember Mendenhall said she thought there was an opportunity for the Council to request better clarity/accuracy on jobs/skills . Ms . Thompson said she thought Julio Garcia, Human Resource Director, needed to be the one to address that, but felt the Administration could have a discussion moving forward. Councilmember Mendenhall asked Council Staff to flag that for future conversations with Mr. Garcia in the upcoming budget. Discussion was held about an opportunity for Council Members to take a tour of the Airport. Mr. Wyatt said he would work with Council Staff to coordinate that. 8:22:41PM Further discussion was held regarding construction activities relating to the Airport Redevelopment Program. Comments included connecting mid-concourse tunnel, increased size of Delta Sky Club, roadways, parking garage, central utility plant, baggage handling system, apron paving, taxi lanes, hydrant fueling, seismic remediation, trade workers, steel erection, selective overtime, challenges with tariffs, and construction management. Councilmember Luke asked when the parking garage would be completed. Mr. Robins said approximately August 24, 2020 . He said the old parking structure would be removed in the first quarter of 2021 . #8 . 8:40:46PM REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, INCLUDING A REVIEW OF COUNCIL INFORMATION ITEMS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS.
