View Attachment Dan Mule' and Gary Mumford briefed the Council from the attached handout. Mr. Mule' said Utah State Code established a maximum service charge of $20 on all returned checks. He said charges the City incurred with the Banking Services contract was minimal on returned checks. He said collection of those checks required a lot of manpower and handling. Mr. Mumford said the proposed ordinance would reflect a returned check fee equal to the maximum charge allowed by State statute rather than a specific 03 - 1 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 2003 dollar amount so the ordinance did not change each time the State statue was amended. #5. RECEIVE A BRIEFING FROM THE HOUSING AUTHORITY. View Attachment Rosemary Kappes, Roger Thompson, Doug Sterling, Reverend France Davis, Michael Gallegos, John Pace and Kathy Ricci briefed the Council from the attached handout. Reverend Davis said during 2002 the Housing Authority had brought on three new housing projects, the Jefferson School, the Kingswood, and the Valor House, and provided over 350 new vouchers for privately owned housing available for low-income residents. He said they worked with Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and two other non-profit agencies to provide 3,335 housing units in total. Mr. Thompson said 40% of the 84 units at the Jefferson School House were subsidized units. He said the property was finished in time for the Alcohol, Firearms and Tobacco Agency to rent during the Olympics. He said those monies could be used to purchase property to the north to expand that housing project. Mr. Gallegos said the 72 unit Kingswood project was the latest property purchased. He said the Housing Authority felt it was their civic duty to take on this project and turn it around. He said rehabilitation of the project cost $4.5 million. He said although none of the units were subsidized, the rents were affordable. Mr. Sterling said the Section 8 Housing program involved HUD, City Housing Authorities and private landlords. He said this program was available to local authorities to increase help to low income residents. He said residents paid 30% of their income to rent and HUD subsidized the balance with vouchers. He said vouchers are a contract with a private landlord and HUD. Councilmember Lambert said Section 8 Housing residents were concerned that if they lost their housing there were no alternatives. Ms. Kappes said if a private landlord chose not to renew in the program, the Housing Authority received the voucher and they placed the resident in another location. She said the residents would not lose the subsidy, but the subsidy could change. Ms Kappes said the Housing Authority did not expect additional vouchers next year, as they were facing Congressional program cuts. Mr. Pace said the Valor House was a 60-bed project located at the Veterans Administration (VA) Medical Campus. He said this provided safe and affordable housing for veterans that had been homeless due to mental illness or substance abuse issues. He said the project required extensive renovations and negotiations of several Governmental agencies. He said the Housing Authority managed the facility along with the cooking and laundry facilities. He said the VA provided counseling services at the same location. He said the success of this project was due in part to a 0% interest rate loan provided by Salt Lake City. #6. RECEIVE A BRIEFING REGARDING THE REZONING OF THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1040 WEST 700 SOUTH. PURSUANT TO PETITION NO. 400-02-24. View Attachment Melissa Anderson, Cheri Coffey and Marge Harvey briefed the Council from the attached handout. Ms. Harvey said a map had been prepared for the Council showing the relationship of the property to the Jordan Parkway. Ms. Anderson said the map showed the 72-foot setback from the top of the riverbank to the edge of the parking lot and a 25-30 foot setback from the property line to the parking lot area. She said the integrity of the trail and the corridor would be persevered. Ms. Anderson said because the original proposal did not include the legal property description, the zoning information had been redone to clarify the project. #7. DISCUSSION REGARDING THE MAIN STREET PLAZA SCHEDULE. View Attachment Cindy Gust-Jenson briefed the Council from the attached handout. She said the two 03 - 2 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 2003 main actions were the vacation of the easement and the property trade. She said the Council would be involved in vacation of the easement. She said the property trade would come before Council as a property conveyance. She said the Mayor would file the petition. She said an appraisal would be done to make sure a value for value trade was done on the properties. She said timing and public hearings would be determined by how fast the Administration could prepare information for the Planning Commission. Councilmember Christensen asked what the earliest date would be. Ms. Gust-Jenson said best-case scenario would allow this to be scheduled early in the spring. She said if additional hearings were requested, this item might not be heard until June. The meeting adjourned at 7:07 p.m. pi 03 - 3 • SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT DATE: January 7,2003 SUBJECT: Returned Check Service Charge Update of Ordinance to Reflect Current Fees STAFF REPORT BY: Gary Mumford REQUESTED ACTION: The City Treasurer is requesting that the ordinance setting the fee for returned checks be updated from a$10 service charge to the"maximum charge allowed by state statute,"which is currently$20. In about 1987,the City increased the service fee to$15 when the State Code was updated from$10 to$15. In the early 1990s,the City increased the fee to$20 when the State Legislature increased the limit. At both of these times,City officials failed to realize that the ordinance needed to be updated when the City's fee was increased. The City Treasurer noted the inconsistency during a recent search of City ordinances in response to an unrelated inquiry. The Council may wish to consider this amendment a housekeeping item since the$20 fee has been charged by the City since the early 1990s,since the fee has been posted for the • public in the Treasurer's Office and in other City government offices where payments or fees are received,and since a$20 fee is generally charged by other governmental agencies and by utility companies and businesses. MATTERS AT ISSUE: The service fee is intended to recover actual costs incurred in processing and seeking to collect on checks that have been returned by the bank for insufficient funds or for other reasons. The City's processing steps and collection efforts are as follows: • The City's bank attempts to redeposit non-sufficient-fund checks a second time about two days later. This allows extra time for deposits in transit by the issuer of the check to be recorded at the bank. After two attempts,the bank returns checks that have not been paid to the City's Accounting Division. A bank fee of$1.25 is charged to the City for each check that is returned unpaid. • The Accounting Division reverses the entry in the accounting system and forwards the returned checks to the Treasurer's Office. • The Treasurer's Office enters the returned check information into a computerized system and forwards checks to the Justice Court with the exception of payments of public utility bills and payments relating to home rehabilitation and first-time home • owners loan programs. • The Department of Public Utilities reverses the payment on the customer's account and sends a letter to the customer. If a customer doesn't respond,a representative goes to the address and attempts to make arrangements to bring the account current. Water shutoff procedures eventually apply to delinquent accounts. • The Housing and Neighborhood Development Division reverses a loan payment when a check is returned and sends a letter to the loan recipient. The next monthly statement shows the reversal of the payment and the$20 service charge. A lien on the property guarantees eventual repayment. • The Justice Court issues a letter notifying the issuer that the check was not honored by the bank. The Court's computer system automatically issues this letter from information entered by the Treasurer's Office. After 10 days,the computer generates a second letter notifying the issuer that nonpayment will result in a filing in Small Claims Court. After an additional 15 days,a claim is filed,and the court serves an affidavit to the issuer of the returned check. When the Small Claims Court is involved,the issuer is responsible for a$45 filing fee and a$7 to$12 affidavit service fee in addition to the$20 service fee. After a judgment is awarded,collection steps may include garnishment of wages and holding up of state income tax refunds. cc: Rocky Fluhart,David Nimkin,Dan Mule,DJ Baxter • DEC 2 1 2002 SALT ;e>a cur Gt ORPoRI oNr et DANIEL A.MULE' w.si asp. .i.ma®.p S' ROSS C."ROC KYE"ANDERSON DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT SERVICES TREASURER 11 TO: Rocky J.Fluhart" DATE: December 12,2002 Chief Administrative Officer FROM: Daniel A.Mule,City Treasurer SUBJECT: Amend Section 3.16.010 of City Ordinance Regarding Returned Check Fee STAFF CONTACT: Daniel A.Mule,City Treasurer DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance BUDGET IMPACT: None. • DISCUSSION: Utah Code Section 7-15-1 establishes a maximum service charge of$20.00 that may be imposed on all returned checks. Upon a recent review of Ordinance 3.16.010, it was discovered that this ordinance contained an out-dated returned check fee of only $10.00. The City has always charged the maximum amount allowable,but the ordinance has not always been amended to reflect that amount. RECOMMENDATION: Amend Ordinance 3.16.010 to reflect a returned check fee equal to the maximum charge allowed by state statute rather than a specific dollar amount so that the ordinance does not have to be changed each time the State amends the statute. • 451 SOUTH STATE STREET,ROOM 220,SALT LAKE CITY,UTAH 04111 TELEPHONE:B01.535-7946 FAX:001-535.60E12 SALT LAKE CITY ORDINANCE • No. of 2002 (Returned check service charge) AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 3.16.010,SALT LAKE CITY CODE, RELATING TO PAYMENT PROCEDURES-RETURNED CHECKS OR DRAFTS- SERVICE CHARGE.

't,�,:I,l across the country to learn more about the affordable housing industry and to continue to improve the quality of our services. In sharing t.i, thoughts and ideas with industry leaders, I have learned, Salt Lake City, in particular the Housing Authority of Salt Lake City, takes its place MMMICHAEL GALLEGOS among those industry leaders in providing exceptional housing services. CHAIR In 2000, the Secretary of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development bestowed two best practice awards: for innovative approaches in utilizing our housing assistance vouchers, and for providing enriched transitional housing services for homeless American veterans. The continued dedication and commitment of the Housing Authority's staff is responsible for many of the successes and accomplishments achieved. The Housing Authority continues its ongoing efforts to create affordable housing options for special populations such as the homeless, homeless veterans, and low to moderate- income families. A recent example is the unique partnership created between the US Veterans Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs Salt Lake City Health Care , System, and the Housing Authority which created Valor House, and is featured in this report. Other examples include mixed-income housing developments and a major focus to improve the housing stock and stability in certain neighborhoods. Many of the Housing Authority's housing development projects would not have been possible without the support of the Salt Lake City Council, the Redevelopment Agency,and the Mayor's Office.The Board of Commissioners would like to express our sincere appreciation for the City's continued support. In this report, we say goodbye to Fred Fairclough, who has been a valued member of the Board for 8 years. His advice and efforts have helped us save over Si million on various developments. Fred has been our beacon of light and guided the Housing Authority and the development team through uncharted waters. The Board and staff would like to recognize and thank Fred for all of his efforts as his term expires in October 2002. On behalf of the Salt Lake City Housing Authority Board of Commissioners, it is a I _ jar ...vii pleasure to serve the citizens of our great City. N . / A farewell gift for Fred Fairclough "' y .r THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF SALT LAKE CITY 1 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE O I I I CI - It's time again to reflect on the last two years and summarize (brag { about)our efforts in this report.First,we had a wonderful time being j an important part of the Olympics.Our last report talked about the Jefferson School Apartments which were then under construction.We *It y completed the complex in January 2002,just in time for the occupancy ' , aI of the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and their accelerant(bomb)sniffing dogs.ATF was an IMPORTANT part of security for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games and our complex gave 1 them a safe,comfortable place to stay and carry out their operations. i Our clubhouse was their command center, and they surrounded the property with high fencing, security cameras, a guard shack ROSEMARY KAPPES and 24-hour security.When we planned to be part of the Olympics, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR we never dreamed the events of September 11 would devastate our { Country and put such an emphasis of protection around the Olympic Winter Games. We're proud that we were an important partner for this once-in-a-lifetime event. Additionally, we're proud that our efforts produced a beautiful mixed-income l apartment complex that will serve families for many,many years.Please refer to the highlights of Jefferson School on page 2 of this report. Secondly,we applied for funds and completed many other projects.Our voucher (-, program grew by 20%, including 175 vouchers for the disabled; our homeless portfolio grew from 43 to 103 units(a whopping 140%);and our non-profit portfolio grew from 438 to 594 units(or 26%)!This growth was due to the great support of our i Board of Commissioners and the hard work of our talented staff.In addition,HUD, I Salt Lake City Corporation,Salt Lake County,and the State of Utah provided great I support through funds awarded for our various projects.We could not complete such wonderful things without the support of our partners. i t.....4L a ilqh Managers: 4 F.�' Back:Terry Feveryear,Operations Manager; y� Michelle Merhi,Non-Profit Manager; I, f 8I Bill Nighswonger,Facilities/Development Manager; Jill Riddle,Section 8 Manager _1� Front:Robyn Cordova,Controller; Kathy Ricci,Finance&Human Resource Manager; - �,r s Cynthia Tyhurst,Administrative Assistant THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF SALT LAKE CITY ® RESIDENT ADVISORY BOARD AND HOME RESIDENT COUNCIL The Resident Advisory Board (RAB) ) represents public housing for families and "r! •,i ` ,- ►� seniors as well as the Section 8 program.The ,,, RAB has been very involved in the Housing .. 1 Authority's planning process; and reviews HUD's required Agency Plan,policies,program strategies and grant applications.

The easterly portion of the property located at 1040 West 700 South was rezoned by the City Council on June 4,2002(Petition 400-02-09). However,due to a discrepancy between the original property description and the site layout,petition 400-02-24 was generated to ensure that the zoning on the westerly portion of the site is consistent with the entire site. The two properties have recently been joined together with one property description and sidwell number 15-11-132-00-is assigned to the site. The proposed zoning map amendment would change the zoning for the property located at 1044 West 700 South from Residential R-1-7000 residential to Public Lands PL. The Administration's transmittal provides a detailed discussion of the proposed text amendment. In addition,the council staff report is attached for background information. • The Poplar Grove Community Council was updated on the need for a rezone on July 17,2002. The Poplar Grove Community Council voted to support the rezone with the following requests: • The parking lot and ventilation equipment be place no further west than the west edge of the building,i.e.72 feet from the river. • Drought tolerant landscaping should be used,especially near the parkway. • Any use of chemicals on the plantings should not flow directly into the Jordan River • Landscaping on the parkway should be used to buffer the building and parking lot while maintaining CPTED safety standards for the precinct. On August 15,2002,the Planning Commission held a public hearing and approved a motion to transmit a favorable recommendation to the City Council for the rezone. That same night the Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit for the Police Precinct with the following conditions: • The final landscaping plan is reviewed for CPTED compliance and drought tolerant landscaping with the approval of the Planning Director. • The gun range is designed by an acoustical engineer and constructed to meet the sound ordinance. • Fencing and lighting shall be approved by the Planning Director. • Construction shall not commence before 8:00 a.m. The zoning map amendment is consistent with the adopted master plans and city ordinances.

("I move that the Council"] Adopt an ordinance rezoning property at 1040 West 700 South from • Residential R-1-7000 to Public Lands PL. 2. ["I move that the Council"] Not adopt an ordinance rezoning property at 1040 West 700 South from Residential R-1-7000 to Public Lands PL. KEY ELEMENTS 1. The proposed zoning map amendment would change the zoning for the property located at 1044 West 700 South from Residential R-1-7000 residential to Public Lands PL. The Administration's transmittal provides a detailed discussion of the proposed text amendment. Please refer to the Planning staff report for details. Key elements include: A. The project includes converting an existing vacant structure,which once housed a Salt Lake Community College satellite facility,to the Pioneer Police Precinct. B. Modifications to the existing site and structure include soil remediation to seismically stabilize the building,additions to the north and west side of the building,a parking lot with separate access points for both public and police vehicles,fencing and landscaping improvements. C. The proposal was originally submitted for a conditional use permit for a"municipal service"in the Residential R-1-7000 zoning district,but after analysis,Planning staff felt it was more appropriate to rezone the property to Public Lands which allows"local government facilities". The Police Department concurred with this recommendation for the • following reasons: 1 • "Local Government Facilities"such as police stations are permitted in the PL zone. • The PL zone is consistent with the future land use map of the West Salt Lake • Community Plan • The PL zone is more restrictive than the Institutional zone with respect to permitted and conditional uses and thus more hannonious for the surrounding residential uses;and • The PL zone will allow more site design flexibility to reuse the existing structure for the proposed police facility. 2. The Planning staff report provides findings of fact that support the criteria established in the City's Zoning Ordinance,Sec.21A.50.050-Standards for General Zoning Amendments. Please refer to the Planning staff report for specific findings of fact and discussion of compliance with individual standards. 3. The purpose of the Residential R-1 zone is"to provide for conventional single-family residential neighborhoods with lots not less that seven thousand(7,000)square feet in size." (Sec. 21/A.24.060) 4. The purpose of the Public Lands zone is"to specifically delineate areas of public use and to control the potential redevelopment of public uses,lands and facilities." (Sec.21/A.32.070) 5. Municipal Services are defined as"City or County government operations and governmental authorities providing services from specialized facilities,such as police service,street/highway department maintenance/construction,fire protection,sewer and water services,etc. City or County operations and governmental authorities providing services from non-specialized facilities shall be considered office uses." (Sec.21A.62.040) • 6. The site is located within the Lowland Conservancy Overlay District due to the proximity of the Jordan River on the west side of the property. The Administration's transmittal notes that the proposed site modifications adhere to the setback regulations of the Lowland Conservancy Overlay District.(Sec.21A.34.050) A. A fifty-foot setback must be maintained for non-residential development adjacent to the river. B. The only physical modification that extends beyond the 50-foot setback is a walking path that connects the west side of the building and patio area to the Jordan River Parkway. The path is permitted within the setback area as long as it does not involve any grading or earthmoving. The path will be made of natural materials. C. The Engineering Division(Parks Planning)has reviewed the proposed pathway and has no objection. 7. The project was presented to the Poplar Grove Community Council on February 27,2002. The Community Council unanimously endorsed the project. The following issues were discussed at the community council meeting: A. Increased traffic on Jake Gam Way B. Lights from the police precinct shining into resident yards C. Adequate on-site drainage to control pavement and roof run-off D. Easy access to the facility by community members and residents 8. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 7,2002. The Planning Commission voted to recommend that the City Council approve the proposed rezoning and directed that the Planning Director work with the development team to: • A. Reduce the number of parking stalls B. Improve the Jordan River Parkway trail system 2 • C. Improve the landscape buffering on the north to mitigate impacts of the facility on surrounding properties • 9. The following issues were discussed at the hearing: A. Possible decrease in value for property adjacent to the police precinct parking lot B. Loss of privacy and quiet for property owners whose yards are adjacent to the police precinct C. Noise from the shooting range D. Bright lights from the parking lot lighting impacting neighbors during nighttime hours E. Reduction of the number of off-street parking stalls to provide additional landscape buffering for adjacent properties and reduce impacts on the character of the residential neighborhood F. Proposed improvements to be provided along the Jordan River Parkway trail system MASTER PLAN AND POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: 1. The Administration's transmittal notes that the proposed rezoning to Public Lands is consistent with the future land use map and policies in the West Salt Lake Community Master Plan and the City Strategic Plan and the Futures Commission Report. Key policies include: A. The West Salt Lake Community Master Plan(1995)identifies the property at 1040 West 700 South on the future land use map as appropriate for institutional type uses. The community master plan refers to the Jordan River and states that the"river environment should be preserved in a park-like setting". The plan also discusses police services and states that a"priority is to maintain current levels of response time". B. The Salt Lake City Strategic Plan(1993)identifies"neighborhood security and personal safety"as an objective with"neighborhood police offices and neighborhood presence"as • an action step toward this end. C. The Futures Commission Report(1998)discusses safety in neighborhoods and recommends expanding"a visible police presence". 2. The Open Space Master Plan supports expansion of the Jordan River Parkway concept. The Plan states that connection to the Jordan Parkway would provide a major north/south route for the open space system and should be considered a high priority. The plan also notes that the Jordan River Parkway Master Plan outlines in detail the improvements for trails, bank treatments, revegetation and access points along the river.

STAFF CONTACT: Melissa Anderson, Principal Planner DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance BUDGET IMPACT: None DISCUSSION: The easterly portion of the property located at 1040 West 700 South was • rezoned by the City Council on June 4, 2002 (Petition 400-02-09). However, due to a discrepancy between the original property description and the site layout, petition 400-02-24 was generated to ensure that the zoning on the westerly portion of the site is consistent with the entire site. Analysis: The property is located at 1040 West 700 South. The land area abuts the Jordan River Parkway and is located west of what was parcel number 15-11-132-007 (which is now zoned PL). The two properties have always been intended, and were obtained together, for use as the Pioneer Police Precinct. The two properties have recently been joined together with one property description, and sidwell number 15-11-132-009 is assigned to the site. The project includes converting an existing structure, which once housed a Salt Lake Community College satellite facility, to the Pioneer Police Precinct. The one-story structure is currently vacant. Modifications to the existing site and structure generally include soil remediation to seismically stabilize the building, additions to the north and west side of the building, and parking lot and landscaping improvements. The proposed rezone to PL is consistent with the future land use map, and the policies related to the Jordan River as well as Police services of the West Salt Lake Community Master Plan. The proposal is also consistent with the policies of the Open Space Plan, Salt Lake City Strategic Plan and the Futures Commission Report by ensuring the Jordan River Parkway is preserved,providing neighborhood police offices and a visible neighborhood police presence in the West Salt Lake community. • 451 SOUTH STATE STREET, ROOM 404, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 841 1 1 TELEPHONE:801-535-6230 FAX: 801-535-6005 ®RCCVCeo P<PeR A The new public facility will increase activity on the property with a 24-hour police station that operates throughout the year. Impacts to the adjacent properties have been mitigated with buffers, 110 fencing, public on-site parking and an adequate setback to the Jordan River Parkway. The Pioneer Police Precinct will also benefit the West Salt Lake Community by increasing the police presence in the neighborhood, ensuring adequate response time, and providing space for the public gatherings and local community meetings. Public Process Poplar Grove Community Council: The Poplar Grove Community Council reviewed the proposed Pioneer Police Precinct and voted in support of the proposal on February 27, 2002. After the initial rezone from R-1-7000 to PL, individuals from the Mayor's Open Space Committee (MOSAC) and the Poplar Grove Community Council raised concerns related to the flood plain and the setback from the Jordan River Parkway, which prompted staff to reevaluate the site plan. The Police Department, Engineering staff and the Mayor's office worked through these issues with members of the Poplar Grove Community Council and the Mayor's Open Space Advisory Committee. Issues raised by citizens include: 1. The parking lot and ventilation equipment should be located no further west than the western edge of the new building (72' from the riverbank); 2. Drought tolerant landscaping should be used, especially near the parkway; 3. Any use of chemicals on the plantings should not flow directly into the Jordan River; and 4. Landscaping on the parkway should be used to buffer the building and parking lot while maintaining CPTED safety standards for the police station. • Planning Commission -- On August 15, 2002, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to receive public comment and to make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the zoning map amendment. The Planning Commission approved a motion to transmit a favorable recommendation to the City Council to rezone the property from R-1-7000 to Public Lands. The same night the Planning Commission approved the conditional use permit for the proposed Police Station with the following conditions: 1. The final landscaping plan is reviewed for CPTED compliance and drought tolerant landscaping with approval by the Planning Director. 2. The gun range is designed by an acoustical engineer and constructed to meet the sound ordinance. 3. Fencing and lighting shall be approved by the Planning Director. 4. Construction shall not commence before 8:00 a.m. Relevant Ordinances: Section 21A.50.050 of the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance states "A decision to amend the text of the Zoning Ordinance or the Zoning Map by general amendment is a matter committed to the legislative discretion of the City Council and is not controlled by any one standard." However, in making its decision concerning a proposed amendment, the City Council should consider the following factors: II 2 • Consistency with adopted master plans; • Consistency with the overall character of surrounding properties; • Extent of adverse effects on adjacent properties; • Consistency with applicable overlay zones; and • Adequacy of public facilities and services. The Planning Commission found that the zoning map amendment is consistent with the adopted master plans and city ordinances. The Commission recommended in favor of the rezone from R-1- 7000 to Public Lands. • 411/ 3 • CONTENTS Chronology Ordinance Notice of City Council Hearing Mailing Labels Original Notice and Postmark Planning Commission Agenda and Minutes • Planning Commission Staff Report Original Petition • • CHRONOLOGY Chronology 110 Petition No. 400-02-24 June 4, 2002 Petition 400-02-09 was approved by the City Council to rezone the parcel at 1040 W. 700 S from R-1-7000 to PL.

COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT•PLANNING DIVISION•451 SOUTH STATE STREET,ROOM 406•SALT LAKE CITY,UT 84111 TELEPHONE:801-535-7757•FAX:801-535-6174 4 PUBLIC HEARING - Petition No. 410-612, by the Salt Lake City Police Department, • requesting a conditional use permit for the property located at 1040 West 700 South, including the portion of the property abutting the Jordan River Parkway, to facilitate the renovation and expansion of the existing building for a new Salt Lake City Police Pioneer Precinct. Modifications to the existing building and site generally include additions to the north and west side of the building, a parking lot, and landscaping improvements. Petition No. 400-02-24, by the Salt Lake City Police Department, requesting a rezone of the western portion of the property located at 1040 West 700 South, abutting the Jordan River Parkway, from R-1-7000 residential to the Public Lands (PL) Zone. The site is proposed for use as the new Salt Lake City Pioneer Precinct. Planner Melissa Anderson reported that this project was previously seen by the Planning Commission for a rezone for the site of the proposed Pioneer Precinct at 1040 West 700 South. The rezone was completed by the City Council on June 4, 2002, but due to a discrepancy between the property description and site layout, Staff is processing a rezone for the parcel adjacent to the Jordan River. Additionally, to allow this project to move forward and resume the construction schedule, the Petitioner is requesting a conditional use permit for a municipal • service facility in the R-7-7000 Zone. Ms. Anderson explained that many aspects of the project are similar, and some adjustments were made with respect to the Jordan River, including increasing the setback from the Jordan River so the total setback is 72 feet from the river bank. She used a map to illustrate the adjustments and discussed challenges for the designers to maintain the setback with landscape on the North side of the property that was approved by the Planning Commission. She clarified that the trail is not jeopardized. The mature trees around the parking lot will remain, and the plan is to give credit for interior landscaping, by retaining the mature trees. The total hard surface area has been decreased, and the public parking previously included was shifted to diagonal parking on the street with a walkway to the facility. The ordinance requires 75 stalls, and 79 stalls are provided. The staff report included the same fencing description that was proposed on the north side, and Ms. Anderson presented an elevation showing the wooden fence and existing chain link fence. The description in the previous staff report did not foresee any changes, but the applicant does have concerns and would like to discuss the fencing on the north side with the Planning Commission. Staff suggested that the fence be light proofed to mitigate lighting from the parking lot for the residents on the north and that the materials should be consistent with what the neighbors had expected. Staff commented that the fencing should be able to mitigate the impact of the parking • lot. Ms. Anderson stated that Staff supports the project and would like the applicant to proceed Planning Commission Meeting 14 August 15,2002 with their construction schedule. The only two conditions are that the gun range be designed to meet the noise ordinance and that the final landscape plan approval be given to the Planning • Director for review for drought tolerant landscaping and OPTED requirements. Mr. Muir asked if any conditions from the previous approval were carried forward. Ms. Anderson replied that the previous conditions were implemented in the design, much of which referred to the buffering on the north and increased landscaping. She noted that a project is planned along the Jordan River Parkway that will proceed after this project is underway. It will include only landscaping improvements and will be covered as a separate budget item. Ms. Funk asked if the parking lot would handle its own runoff and was told that it would. Ms. Funk referred to a request that any pesticides used on plants to the west would not be allowed to go into the Jordan River. She asked if there was a process by which the drainage system could be worked out to keep that from happening. Ms. Anderson replied that it is a tricky issue, and she preferred to have the representative from the Public Utilities Department clarify that issue. Brad Stewart, representing the Public Utilities Department, explained that it is difficult to create a cut-off trench to catch chemicals. Any time there is a setback area from a stream, it behooves the property owner to be very careful in the application of herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers. 4111 Mr. Stewart stated that the parking lot drainage goes through the regular public system, which ultimately goes to the Jordan River. Ms. Funk asked if there was any reasonable way to catch those pesticides. Mr. Stewart replied that best management practices must be exercised by the property owner. He explained that cut-off trenches would do more damage to the frontage than leaving it the way it is. Mr. Goldsmith asked if placing drought-tolerant plants on the west would require less pesticide. Mr. Stewart replied that native plants require less chemical maintenance. Gaylord Smith, representing Salt Lake City Engineering, explained that the gun range will be designed by the architect with assistance from an acoustic engineer. Regarding pesticides, he stated that there is no plan to use pesticides for any reason as part of the construction process. What City Parks does beyond that is a separate issue. He explained the water retention and drainage process. He clarified that all conditions from the previous approval have been honored. He commented on the fence and the difference of opinion on what they agreed to. The record states that they agreed to a wood fence along the property line. One neighbor has a wood fence already, and another neighbor has a chain link fence. They would both like to keep their fences, and Mr. Smith did not want to put up a fence that would require a lot of maintenance. What they intended as a visual buffer was a slatted chain link fence. • Planning Commission Meeting 15 August 15,2002 • Ms. McDonough referred to the landscape plan contained in the staff report and construction documents offering additive alternatives. She asked what would not be in the plan if these were not accepted. One was the employee patio, another was improvements to the east side, and third was covered parking. Chair Daniels opened the public hearing. Mike Johnson, a resident at 622 South Senate Circle on the north side of the project commented on the sound buffer. He stated that work continues late at night, and nothing has been done to accommodate them. Construction begins at 8:00 a.m., which is difficult when you have only been asleep for a few hours. He was not opposed to the plan and liked the idea of having a precinct in the neighborhood. He did have issues with how they would be accommodated over the next two years with construction going on and they have to work nights and sleep days. He stated that he bought his house in a well-developed area so he would not have to contend with construction. There is a nice stream in the backyard, and it is a comfortable place to live. and they did not think they would have to contend with jack hammers. He stated that an agreement was made at the last meeting for some type of visual and sound • buffer on the back side of the wall, but nothing has been done. He attended this evening to express his displeasure and concern with how things are going. He stated that he had not been notified of landscaping or anything that was being done and wanted to know his options. Lori Monteforr, a resident at 622 Senate Circle, stated that they tried to find a tape recorder to record what they hear from the middle of their home. She supported the project but wanted to know how much longer they would have to deal with the noise. She stated that they have been awakened by construction workers arguing. She asked if the huge roll-up doors could be closed when the men are working. She stated that it is very disturbing to be awakened by construction noise and vehicles. They bought their house in the area so they could enjoy peace and serenity. She expressed concern about the shooting range. If they can hear this kind of noise with construction, she wondered what they would hear with the shooting range. This has been a disruption of their lives, and she wanted to know when they could expect it to end. Mr. Johnson stated that their backyard used to be their favorite place to garden or read books, but since the construction has been going on, their backyard is no longer enjoyable, and they no longer find any serenity. • Planning Commission Meeting 16 August 15,2002 Mr. Smith stated that the demolition is done, so the jack hammers should have quit. Mr. Johnson replied that jack hammers woke them up this morning. Mr. Smith offered to check into • that, because the noise should be finished. In terms of schedule, assuming they can obtain a building permit, they plan to break ground in October and finish in October next year. Mr. Smith reviewed the construction process and what could be expected in terms of noise and timing. Mr. Johnson noted that there is a considerable difference in noise when the doors are up or down and asked if the doors could be kept down as much as possible. Mr. Smith stated that the demolition contractors should be through, and he hoped the workers under the next contract would be more sensitive. He asked Mr. Johnson to call him when there is a problem. Chair Daniels recalled a verbal agreement that Mr. Smith would do whatever he could to keep the construction from disrupting the neighbors' peace and quiet. If the jack hammer has to work four hours a day, he felt it should be later in the day so Mr. Johnson and Ms. Monteforr could sleep. Mr. Smith explained that the work hours are regulated by County ordinance, but he would do what he could. Chair Daniels asked Mr. Johnson and Ms. Monteforr to provide Mr. Smith with reasonable times when the jack hammer could be used. Mr. Smith stated that he was willing to work with the neighbors, but he could not guarantee that the contractors would abide by those times. Mr. Johnson stated that he knew construction must go on and was not asking them to bend over backwards to accommodate them because they do not work normal hours. He was only asking for reasonable consideration for the disruption of their lives. • Mr. Johnson expressed concern about the fence line. If a fence were added behind his, it would create a strip for trash and weeds to collect. Ms. Monteforr asked about the shooting range. Mr. Smith replied that they should not be able to hear any sound above 50 decibels at the property line. Chair Daniels closed the public hearing. Ms. Arnold asked if concrete sound walls similar to those along the freeway could be used temporarily to help with the construction noise. Mr. Smith replied that concrete is a reflective surface that would amplify the sound. Sound also flows over things as demonstrated by other sound walls. He preferred to work with the neighbors on acceptable hours. Motion for Petition No. 400-02-24 Arla Funk moved that Petition 400-02-24 to rezone the property located at 1040 West 700 . Planning Commission Meeting 17 August 15, 2002 South, the western portion of the property which was left off the last rezone petition, be • approved and sent to City Council for further approval. Mr. Muir seconded the motion. Findings of Fact A. The proposed rezone to PL is consistent with the future land use map, and the policies related to the Jordan River as well as police services of the West Salt Lake Community Master Plan. The proposal is consistent with the policies of 1) the Salt Lake City Open Space Plan by providing a large setback against the Jordan River Parkway; and 2) the Salt Lake City Strategic Plan and the Futures Commission Report by providing neighborhood police offices an a visible neighborhood police presence in the West Salt Lake community. B. The proposal includes reusing an existing vacant building for a new police precinct to better serve the community. The zone change to PL is consistent with the previous and proposed land use and harmonious with the overall character of existing development. C. The new public facility will increase activity on the property with a 24-hour police station that operates throughout the year. Impacts to the adjacent properties have been mitigated with landscaping, buffers, fencing, and an increased setback to the Jordan River Parkway. The facility will be designed and constructed to mitigate noise • disturbances to the neighborhood and to meet the requirements of the noise ordinance. The Pioneer Police Precinct will also benefit the West Salt Lake Community by increasing the police presence in the neighborhood, ensuring adequate response time, and providing space for the public gatherings and local community meetings. D. The proposed site modifications adhere to the setback regulations of the Lowland Conservancy Overlay District. E. The proposed police station will add a benefit to the community by increasing the public facilities serving the area. The public utilities and streets are adequate to serve the new facility, and the Jordan River Parkway is protected. Ms. Arnold, Mr. Chambless, Ms. Funk, Ms. McDonough, Mr. Muir, and Ms. Noda voted "Aye." Jeff Jonas and John Diamond were not present. Robert "Bip" Daniels, as chair, did not vote. The motion carried. Motion for Petition No. 410-612 In the matter of Petition 410-612 and based on the findings of fact in the staff report,Aria Funk moved to approve the conditional use permit with conditions 1 and 2 outlined in the staff report • with the addition of Condition 3 that the lighting and fencing design be approved by the Planning Planning Commission Meeting 18 August 15,2002 A Director and Condition 4 that, as far as possible, natural and drought-tolerant plants be used on the west side of the building to reduce the runoff into the Jordan River. Peggy McDonough 111111 seconded the motion. Mr. Muir suggested an addition to the motion stipulating that no construction begin before 8:00 a.m. Ms. Funk stated that she was not comfortable adding that to her motion because contractors have their own schedules, and it is difficult to direct what they do. Mr. Smith could make that request, but she believed it was unreasonable for the Planning Commission to make it part of the petition. Mr. Muir did not think is was unusual to impose these restrictions on grocery store deliveries, but he respected Ms. Funk's unwillingness to accept his amendment. Ms. Funk noted that grocery store deliveries are long term, and this construction is temporary. Ms. McDonough was comfortable with the proposed amendment because time restrictions can be imposed, and part of the Planning Commission's job is to evaluate the issues and mitigate the impacts. She believed this was a reasonable request and not beyond the ability of the contractor to negotiate. Mr. Chambless agreed that this is a reasonable accommodation in terms of time, place, and manner. He believed it was fair and made sense. Chair Daniels encouraged Ms. Funk to reconsider, because Mr. Muir was only suggesting that the contractor hold off one hour. Ms. Funk preferred to keep her motion as stated. Ms. Funk voted "Aye." Ms. Arnold, Mr. Chambless, Ms. McDonough, Mr. Muir, and Ms. Nodailk voted "Nay." John Diamond and Jeff Jonas were not present. Robert "Bip" Daniels, as chair, did not vote. The motion failed. Motion for Petition No. 410-612 Prescott Muir moved that the Planning Commission approve Petition 410-612 for a conditional use permit based upon the findings of fact and including conditions 1 and 2 in the Staff report, Condition 3 that fencing be approved by the Planning Director, and Condition 4 that construction not commence before 8:00 a.m. Kay (berger)Arnold seconded the motion. Ms. Funk suggested that Mr. Muir include lighting in Condition 3. Mr. Muir accepted the amendment to his motion. Findings of Fact A. Municipal services are listed as a conditional use in the R-1-7000 Zone (21A.24.190). B. The proposed project is consistent with the future land use map and the policies related to the Jordan River as well as police services of the West Salt Lake Community Master 0 Planning Commission Meeting 19 August 15 ,2002 k Plan. The proposal is also consistent with the policies of 1)the Salt Lake City Open • Space Plan by providing a large setback against the Jordan River Parkway; and 2) the Salt Lake City Strategic Plan and the Futures Commission Report by providing neighborhood police offices and a visible neighborhood police presence in the West Salt Lake Community. C. The streets are adequate for the development, and pedestrian access is provided. D. The internal circulation system is adequate for the proposed development. E. The proposed police station will add a benefit to the community by increasing the public facilities serving the area. Utility services are adequate for the proposed development and must meet city design standards during site plan review. F. Impacts to the adjacent properties have been mitigated with landscaping, buffers, fencing, and an increased setback to the Jordan River Parkway. The facility will be designed and constructed to mitigate noise disturbances to the neighborhood and to meet the requirements of the noise ordinance. The Pioneer Police Precinct will also benefit the West Salt Lake Community by increasing the police presence in the neighborhood, ensuring adequate response time, and providing space for public gatherings and local community meetings. G. The proposal includes reusing an existing vacant building for a new police precinct to • better serve the community. Architecture and building materials are consistent with the development and compatible with the adjacent neighborhood. H. The landscaping is appropriate for the project and is used to mitigate potential impacts effectively.

I. The site plan adheres to the setback regulations of the Lowland Conservancy Overlay District, and the State Division of Parks and Recreation has approved the proposal. The setback to the Jordan River has been increased to benefit the parkway, and mature trees on the site have been preserved. J. The new public facility will increase activity on the property with a 24-hour police station that operates throughout the year. Measures to mitigate the impact to the surrounding properties have been incorporated into the design such as fencing, buffering, landscaping and structural design features. K. The proposed conditional use is compatible with the neighborhood surrounding the proposed development and will not have a material net cumulative adverse impact on the neighborhood or the City as a whole.

The motion carried. al II Planning Commission Meeting 21 August 15 ,2002 4 • S PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT • SALT LAKE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Rezone from R-1-7000 to Public Lands (PL) Pioneer Police Precinct Petition Number 400-02-24 August 15, 2002 REQUEST Petition Number 400-02-24, is a request by the Salt Lake City Police Department to rezone the western portion of the property located at 1040 West 700 South, abutting the Jordan River Parkway, from R-1-7000 residential to the Public Lands (PL) zone. The easterly portion of the property was recently rezoned by the City Council, (Petition 400-02-09 on June 4, 2002). However, due to a discrepancy between the original property description and the site layout on the previous rezone approval, the proposed petition has been generated to ensure that the westerly portion of the site is zoned PL consistent with the entire site. The project includes converting an existing structure, which once housed a Salt Lake Community College satellite facility, to the Pioneer Police Precinct. The one-story structure is currently vacant. Modifications to the existing site and structure generally include soil remediation to seismically stabilize the building, additions to the north and west side of the building, and parking lot and landscaping improvements. • rRezone From R-1-7000 t to Public Lands (PL) PL u) 0 0 700 SOUTH • Staff Report,Petition Number 400-02-24 1 August I5,2002 by Salt Lake City Planning Division PUBLIC COMMENT AND REVIEW: Poplar Grove Community Council: The Poplar Grove Community Council reviewed the • proposed Pioneer Police Precinct twice and both times the Community Council voted in support of the proposal. After the initial rezone from R-1-7000 to PL, individuals from the Mayor's Open Space Committee (MOSAC) and the Poplar Grove Community Council raised concerns related to the flood plain and the setback from the Jordan River Parkway, which prompted staff to reevaluate the site plan. The Police Department, Engineering staff and the Mayor's office worked through these issues with members of the Poplar Grove Community Council and the Mayor's Open Space Advisory Committee. Issues raised by citizens include: 1. The parking lot and ventilation equipment should be located no further west than the western edge of the new building (72' from the riverbank); 2. Drought tolerant landscaping should be used, especially near the parkway; 3. Any use of chemicals on the plantings should not flow directly into the Jordan River; and 4. Landscaping on the parkway should be used to buffer the building and parking lot while maintaining CPTED safety standards for the police station. The setback from the Jordan River Parkway has been addressed with the new site design and is supported by the Poplar Grove Community Council and MOSAC. Chemicals such as fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides should be used sparingly and with extra care due to the proximity of the river and to minimize the impact to the storm drainage system and river. In order to ensure that: 1) CPTED requirements are addressed; and 2) draught tolerant landscaping is used to the extent possible, especially near the parkway, staff recommends • that final landscaping design approval is given to the Planning Director. GENERAL BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW Applicant: Police Department Purpose of proposal and proposed amendment: The purpose of the proposal is to establish consistency between the future land use map and the zoning district, and the site as a whole (located at 1040 West 700 South). This will allow a police substation to better serve the western communities of Salt Lake City. Existing Zoning and Overlay Districts: The site is located within the R-1-7000 residential zone and the Lowland Conservancy Overlay District (LC). Existing Master Plan Policies: West Salt Lake Community Master Plan (1995) The Salt Lake City Open Space Plan (1992) Salt Lake City Strategic Plan(1993) Futures Commission Report(1998) • Staff Report,Petition Number 400-02-24 2 August 15,2002 by Salt Lake City Planning Division r • Affected areas and parcel numbers: The property is located at 1040 West 700 South. The land area abuts the Jordan River Parkway and is located west of parcel number 15-11-132-007 (which is now zoned PL). The two properties have always been intended for use as the Pioneer Police Precinct and recently have been joined as one with one property description. A new sidwell number for the site will be assigned by the County in the future. IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS OF ISSUES The easterly portion of the property was recently rezoned by the City Council, (Petition 400- 02-09 on June 4, 202). However, due to a discrepancy between the original property description and the site layout, this petition was generated to ensure that the zoning on the westerly portion of the site is consistent for the entire site. CODE CRITERIA / DISCUSSION / FINDINGS OF FACT Section 21A.50.050 of the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance states "A decision to amend the text of the Zoning Ordinance or the Zoning Map by general amendment is a matter committed to the legislative discretion of the City Council and is not controlled by any one standard. However, in making its decision concerning a proposed amendment, the City Council should consider the following factors: • 21A.50.050 Standards for general amendments A. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives, and policies of the adopted general plan of Salt Lake City. Discussion: The West Salt Lake Community Master Plan (1995) identifies the properties appropriate for institutional use on the future land use map. The Public Lands zoning classification is one of the zoning classifications used to implement the institutional land use policy. "Local Government Facilities" such as police stations are a permitted use in the PL zone. The community master plan refers to the Jordan River and states that the "the river environment should be preserved in a park-like setting" (pg. 10). The plan also discusses police services and states that a "priority is to maintain current levels of response time" (pg. 11). The Salt Lake City Open Space Plan (1992) states as policy to: "Support the Jordan River Parkway concept by promotion and expansion of Parkway amenities with City open space corridors " (pg. 4). The Salt Lake City Strategic Plan (1993) identifies "neighborhood security and personal safety" as an objective with "neighborhood police offices and neighborhood presence" as an action step toward this end (pg. 15). The Futures Commission Report (1998) discusses safety in neighborhoods and 411 recommends expanding "a visible police presence" (pg. 39). Staff Report,Petition Number 400-02-24 3 August 15,2002 by Salt Lake City Planning Division Findings: The proposed rezone to PL is consistent with the future land use map, and the policies related to the Jordan River as well as police services of the West Salt Lake Community Master Plan. The proposal is also consistent with the policies of: I)the Salt Lake City Open Space Plan by providing a large setback against the Jordan River Parkway; and 2)the Salt Lake City Strategic Plan and the Futures Commission Report by providing neighborhood police offices and a visible neighborhood police presence in the West Salt Lake community. B. Whether the proposed amendment is harmonious with the overall character of existing development in the immediate vicinity of the subject property. Discussion: The Jordan River Parkway is located on the west side of the property, with residential uses located to the north, east and south sides of the site. The site is currently vacant with a one-story brick structure that once housed a Salt Lake Community College satellite facility. The property is proposed for use as the new Pioneer Police Precinct. The proposed zone change to public lands (PL) is consistent with the previous institutional use as well as the proposed police station. Additionally, "Local Government Facilities" such as police stations are permitted in the PL zone. Modifications to the existing site and structure generally include soil remediation to seismically stabilize the building, additions to the north and west side of the building, interior modifications to service the police station and community, a parking lot and landscaping improvements. The materials for the building addition will be concrete masonry units of various natural shades to compliment the existing brick on the building. Findings: The proposal includes reusing an existing vacant building for a new police precinct to better serve the community. The zone change to PL is consistent with the previous and proposed land use and harmonious with the overall character of existing development. C. The extent to which the proposed amendment will adversely affect adjacent properties. Discussion: The proposed facility will house the Pioneer Patrol Division which provides initial police response to calls for service for the central and western portions of Salt Lake City. The new station will increase the police presence in the neighborhood and ensure adequate response time for the public. In addition, the station will provide space for administrative services with reception desk for the public, as well as serve as a training facility for officers, with an indoor gun range and fitness center. The indoor gun range will be self-contained and designed to prohibit noise or lead 1111 emissions into the air. The facility is required to meet the noise ordinance (City Code Staff Report,Petition Number 400-02-24 4 August 15,2002 by Salt Lake City Planning Division Title 9, Health and Safety, Section 9.28), prohibiting sound levels in excess of 55 db • in the daytime and 50 db at night as measured at the neighboring property line. A sound design consultant will analyze the noise impact and propose design construction methods that will mitigate noise disturbances to the neighborhood and meet the requirements of the noise ordinance. The division operates 24 hrs a day, 365 days a year. There are three shift changes in a 24-hour period. This means that approximately 10 to 15 officers will be coming in for field activity briefings prior to work assignments. Although interviewing suspects will take place at this facility, it will not house any prisoners. Extensive interviews and placement of evidence will continue to occur at the Public Safety Building at 315 East 200 South. The new police precinct will also provide community meeting rooms. Community councils and other community groups will be invited to share the facility as well as other city departments needing a meeting facility for a large group. In the event of a disaster, the facility will also provide a prime area for staging public safety operations to respond to community needs. The site plan has been modified in order to mitigate impacts to the Jordan River Parkway and the houses north of the property. The number of parking stalls has been reduced, the setback from the Jordan River Parkway has been increased (72' from the riverbank and 31.5' from the property line) and the parking lot has been shifted away from the river and further to the east. Additionally, the setback with landscaping to • buffer the residential properties on the north has been maintained (28.5'-72'), as approved by the previous petition. The proposal meets the minimum parking standards: 75 stalls are required on-site and 79 stalls are provided. Public parking will be provided with striped diagonal parking on 700 South with a walkway to the entrance. The site plan has been designed to retain the mature trees wherever possible and four mature trees within the parking lot area will be preserved. The light poles within the parking lot will be directed downward so that the light will not shine on the adjacent properties. The dumpster will be located in the rear yard approximately 40 feet from the property line and enclosed on three sides with concrete masonry units colored to match the existing building. The fence on the northern boundary will be a sight-proof fence to mitigate the impact of the vehicle activity and headlights that cross through the parking lot from the neighboring residential properties. A wooden fence is proposed to replace the chain link fence,which will match the existing wooden fence on the northwest property. The new and existing wooden fence will then be stained a consistent color the entire Iength of the northern boundary. For security reasons, a chain-link fence is proposed for the western boundary of the parking lot and building. This will limit public access to the facility and staff parking • area to only the east side of the property. This will allow the police department staff to monitor public access onto the property and into the building or in the parking lot Staff Report,Petition Number 400-02-24 5 August 15,2002 by Salt Lake City Planning Division more effectively. The fence will run parallel to the Jordan River Parkway, therefore to visually soften the open fencing material, the chain-link fence will be treated with a • dark colored rubberized coating to blend in with natural parkway setting. Findings: The new public facility will increase activity on the property with a 24-hour police station that operates throughout the year. Impacts to the adjacent properties have been mitigated with landscaping, buffers, fencing, and an increased setback to the Jordan River Parkway. The facility will be designed and constructed to mitigate noise disturbances to the neighborhood and to meet the requirements of the noise ordinance. The Pioneer Police Precinct will also benefit the West Salt Lake Community by increasing the police presence in the neighborhood, ensuring adequate response time, and providing space for the public gatherings and local community meetings. D. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with the provisions of any applicable overlay zoning districts, which may impose additional standards. Discussion: The site is located within the Lowland Conservancy Overlay District (LC) due to the proximity of the Jordan River on the west side of the property. A fifty foot (50') setback must be maintained for non-residential development adjacent to the river. The proposed site plan extends beyond the 50' minimum and provides a 72' setback from the riverbank. The only physical modification that extends beyond the 50' setback is a walking path that connects the west side of the building and patio area to the Jordan River trailway. The path is permitted within the setback area as • long as it does not involve any grading or earthmoving. The path will be made of natural materials such as park mulch. The Engineering Division (Parks Planning)has reviewed the proposed pathway and has no objection. Findings: The proposed site modifications adhere to the setback regulations of the Lowland Conservancy Overlay District. E. The adequacy of public facilities and services intended to serve the subject property, including but not limited to roadways, parks and recreational facilities, police and fire protection, schools, storm water drainage systems, water supplies, and waste water and refuse collection. Discussion: Staff requested feedback from the Building Services and Licensing Division, Public Utilities, Parks,Engineering, Transportation, Property Management, the Fire Department and the Police Department. There were no specific objections to the zoning map amendments. All requirements cited by each department will need to be addressed during the building permit and site plan review process. The Jordan River Parkway is located on the west side of property and the 50' setback protects the river from encroachment. The parks planning engineer for the Jordan River Parkway in this area has reviewed the proposal and has no objections. The property is also located where public utilities and streets exist and a structure is already built on the • site. Additionally, the proposal to rezone the property to PL and then upgrade the Staff Report,Petition Number 400-02-24 6 August 15,2002 by Salt Lake City Planning Division existing building to serve as the Pioneer Police Precinct adds to the public facilities • serving the area. Findings: The proposed police station will add a benefit to the community by increasing the public facilities serving the area. The public utilities and streets are adequate to serve the new facility and the Jordan River Parkway is protected. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the findings of fact contained in this staff report, the Planning Staff recommends the Planning Commission transmit a favorable recommendation to the City Council to rezone the western portion of the property located 1040 West 700 South, abutting the Jordan River Parkway from R-1-7000 to Public Lands (PL).

The motions addressed the location of the parking lot and ventilation equipment, and the landscaping. PGCC's board requests that the parking lot and ventilation equipment be placed no further west than the west edge of the building, i.e. 72 feet from the river. And we request that more of the grounds be xeriscaped. Mark Smedley, chair Poplar Grove Community Council On Wednesday, July 17, 2002, at 03:06 PM, Romney, Lisa wrote: . The Pioneer Police Precinct is a much needed addition to the Salt Lake City west side community. The City purchased the existing building and property for use as the Police Precinct. The building has been redesigned to meet the police and community needs. It has been enlarged to accommodate a fitness room, a fully enclosed shooting range, an entry foyer and storage rooms. Plans for these improvements were approved by the Community Council,Planning and Zoning and City Council earlier this spring. Since those approvals, concerns have been raised regarding the zoning, floodplain, and encroachment into the Jordan River Parkway Trail. Salt Lake City has carefully reviewed these concerns. • The project, as approved, is not outside of anycity, state, or federal PP Y, 7/19/2002 laws. It is the Police Department's desire to continue with the approved plan, however,we would like to discuss the design with community leaders one final time in an effort to be sensitive to the many needs of the river, trail, community, and officer's who must occupy this space. Please attend a meeting to review the plans on-site: Tuesday, July 23, 2002 5:30 - 6:00 pm 1040 West 700 South West of building near the Jordan River Trail • • 7/19/2002 • INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: CHIEF RICK DINSE,CHIEF DON LLEWELYN,ROCKY FLUHART,JERRY BURTON, GAYLORD SMITH,RON DILLON,MELISSA ANDERSON,TIM HARPST,AND JACOB BRACE FROM: LISA ROMNEY SUBJECT: PIONEER POLICE PRECINCT DATE: 7/31/2002 CC: MAYOR ROCKY ANDERSON POPLAR GROVE COMMUNITY COUNCIL AND OPEN SPACE ADVOCATES DECISION REGARDING THE PIONEER POLICE PRECINCT DESIGN The Poplar Grove Community Council Board passed two motions regarding the design of the Pioneer Police Precinct. The first was to have no structures (parking or ventilation equipment) extend past the building wall.The second was to include "xeriscaping" in landscape design. During on-site discussions July 23, 2002 the engineering representative, police representatives, and community/open space representatives came to an agreement on the design of the precinct additions. • (1) The shooting range,exercise room,and patio will remain in the current configuration. (2) The parking lot will not extend past the building additions. (3) The air ventilation equipment will be repositioned to the north of the building, and is not to extend past building additions. This compromise results in a loss of space within the current parking lot design. No community rooms,emergency response/control abilities,or police amenities are lost. Additional parking will be needed along 700 South in front of the precinct. Transportation has reported that angled parking on 700 South is possible. Per the on-site discussion: The community is pleased with the idea of a door and gate on the west of the building to allow police access for patrols or daily exercise along the Jordan River Trail. The community would like to take an active role in the landscape design along the western edge of the precinct,adjacent to the Jordan River Trail. Many thanks to all who worked to resolve these last minute concerns— Lisa Romney. • Mayor's Open Space Advisory Committee Minutes • July 31, 2002 Attending: Lisa Romney, Jeff Salt, Elaine Emmi, Rita Lund, Sharon Hauri, and Malcolm Campbell (6) Committee Structure: Recognizing that during the retreat the decision was to maintain 13 voting members on the MOSAC Committee, there is an apparent need to first increase the attendance before trying to foi„ialize more strictly. Jeff will continue to as acting chair for the time being. Rita Lund suggested having a tape recorder at meetings. Tapes will serve as "minutes" at committee meetings. MOSAC has struggled with finding a secretary. The recorder would allow for very brief typed overview. If someone wanted details on the discussion, the tapes could be borrowed. Lisa Romney will look into this option. Lisa Romney addressed her perceived role of a "Mayor's Advisory Committee." - Can be a small group if that is where the energy lies - Is not making official "planning commission"type decisions. When the committee is not in full agreement internally, the differing issues can come out of the same committee as things the City needs to be aware of. There is no need for the past contention to continue. • - It is not feasible for committee volunteers to have large project "chores."MOSAC does not need to take on projects. They are here to review, advise, increase awareness, advance open space in SLC, and communicate ideas and needs back to the City. Lisa would like MOSAC to relieve themselves of the several sub-committees etc. and shift gears. - As issues arise the City will make MOSAC aware and look for review and comment. MOSAC can then target specific communities for involvement and comment. (As an additional option to increase community involvement.) The committee seemed to be in general concensus of this review. Plan to involve more citizens: The committee plans to present their mission, goals, and current issues at the Community Council Chair meeting in September - Sharon Hauri will draft a letter to each chair that will be sent out by the Mayor's Office prior to the September meeting. This letter will serve to inform and prepare the Chair's for the presentation. - Lisa Romney will get MOSAC on the Agenda • - Jeff Salt, Malcolm Campbell, and Elaine Emmi have agreed to make the presentation. o Open Space Master Plan o Community open space issues • o Need for representation on the Committee MOSAC would like to condense the minutes of each meeting to 3 or so sentences and include this blurb on community mailers. Lisa Romney will check on this possibility. MOSAC would like to develop a hook and invite a report to cover the status of the new committee. This project will be discussed in future meetings and over email. MOSAC would like to contact the Council members to ask for names of interested people in their districts. Police Precinct Discussion Lisa Romney reviewed the original plan, issues that arose, and the current plan for the Pioneer Police Precinct Discussion. (document on a city memo by Lisa Romney) Overall —MOSAC approves of the site design under the following conditions: - Air handlers and chillers be moved to the north side and a masonry wall be built around them to buffer the noise, - parking extend no further west than the building and - west elevation not be treated as a "back" to the building but rather a "front." Questions as the project continues— 1) What chemicals will be sprayed on plants so near the river. • 2) Where does the parking lot runoff drain?The would disapprove of it entering directly into the river. 3) Want the police to have access to the trail. Like the path from the patio. 4) Want to make sure the landscape design near the river is natural/drought tolerant. 5) Is there a way to buffer the building and parking lot edge with vegetation without impact the safety of the police precinct? Pioneer Park— Olympic plans Jeff Salt will find the comments MOSAC issued on the Aquarium proposal for Pioneer Park and distribute them to the committee. Changes and additions can be made for the purpose of the Olympic proposal. MOSAC would like them to go on file. UPDATE 8.1.02: All current plans have been disposed of. SLOC is reviewing their offer and requirements without the involvement of the City. New Meeting Date: 3rd Wednesday of the Month. Poplar Grove Community Council • March 5, 2002 Mr. Gaylord Smith Salt Lake City Public Works 324 S State Street Salt Lake City UT 84111 Dear Mr. Smith: The Poplar Grove Community Council unanimously endorsed the amended zoning relative to offstreet parking for the Salt Lake City Police substation at 700 South and the Jordan River. Some concerns were expressed about traffic on Jake Garn, about lights at night shining into residents yards, adequate drainage from pavement and roof run-off and easy access by the community. We were assured that all these concerns would be addressed. We look forward to the opening of the new substation. We applaud the intent of the Salt Lake City Police to offer their facilities for community gatherings and to work within our • community for our mutual goals. In the design of the facility and grounds, we ask that it be readily accessible by residents and that it be in character with the work we are doing along the Jordan River to create trails and enhance the natural character of the river.
