Ranches Golf Course Event Bam - Site Plan Mayor Westmoreland explained the Council had diverse interpretations of the terms of the preliminary plat approval on October 2,2018 and stated the site plan could be tabled to allow the Council to research and resolve their concerns. Planning Manager Mike Hadley explained the City Council approved an agreement that allowed The Ranches Golf Course to build2T residential units, using the proceeds from the residential unit sales to fund an event center at the golf course. He presented renderings of the project and explained the revised parking area, as well as the increased size of the event center. Councilmember Curtis inquired why staff recommended approval of a portion of the project in lieu of tabling the item. Community Development Director Steve Mumford explained Planning Department staffand City Administrator Ifo Pili discussed the project and determined the building site plan meets and exceeds the requirements of the previously approved preliminary plat. They recommend the approval of the building to allow the applicant to move forward on that portion of the project, should other areas of concern require time to be satisfactorily resolved with the Council. Councilmember Clark asked when the construction of the event bam would be complete. Applicant representative Jeff Harbertson with GreatLIFE Golf and Fitness explained the event barn will hopefully be completed by the end of the year. He said a construction area is unappealing for both the golf course and the neighboring residents; finishing the event barn before winter would crcate revenue sources through event hosting, fitness center memberships, and golf and combination membership promotion during the golf off season. Councilmember Gray asked what would be located in the offrce space. Mr. Harbertson explained the ofhce space will include a bride's room and a groom's room, as well as space for their corporate headquarters. Councilmember Love expressed concern regarding the steep grade from the putting green area to the residents' yards and fences to the south, and recommended including a condition requiring retaining walls, should the slope exceed Municipal Code standards. Mr. Harbertson explained the putting green area will be leveled and tiered and retaining walls will be installed in accordance with engineering standards. Native grasses will be replanted to prevent runoff. Councilmember Love verified the applicant plans to remove debris currently located adjacent to properties south of the putting green area. At Mayor'Westmoreland's request, Mr. Hadley and City Engineer Chris Trusty explained staff oversite procedures for the final project. Councilmember Burnham stated the proposed building exceeds the original requirements and suggested the Council require the applicant to verifr the cost of the putting green installation and reallocate surplus funds to other areas of the project. Councilmember Curtis stated his only concem with the building was the potential leasing of office space to other companies and expressed concern the relocation of the putting green would require the majority of the approved funds be used for earthwork preparation, resulting in an inferior finished project to the one originally presented and approved. Councilmember Gray stated he had no concerns with the building or permitting GreatLIFE to lease office space and that individual companies, not the government, should direct free enterprise. He said additional lots were exchanged for amenities, but the putting green is an amenity for the golf course, not the community. He expressed concern over partial approval due to the possibility of future negotiations causing issues or disputes impacting the project as a whole and stated a preference to table if necessary. Councilmember Love stated her approval of the new building design. Councilmember Clark said the new building design is an improvement over the original design and is a benefit to the City. She concurred with Councilmember Gray's preference to table the item, rather than partially approve it. She expressed concern that the area has insuffrcient park Eagle Mountain City Council Meeting - April 7, 2020 Page l0 of l6 space and amenities and stated the Council should explore park and open space options for the area in addition to the putting green amenity. Mr. Mumford explained additional options in the area for parks and open space and stated residents have expressed approval ofand desire for the putting green. Mayor Westmoreland verified with staff that amenity points had been awarded for the putting green, as it is free for resident use. Applicant representative Mark Whetzel explained the original concept drawing for the putting green included grass and artificial blue turf to indicate water hazards. Councilmember Clark stated the applicant should be required to install a putting green in kind to the one originally presented and submit a detailed plan to staff for approval. Councilmember Love said the original location for the putting green appears to be available. Mr. Whetzel said she was correct and expressed a willingness to research options to revise plans to better meet Council expectations. Discussing ensued regarding the timetable for the project and options for tabling or approving the item with conditions. Mr. Pili explained the staff recommendation to approve the event bam, the applicant's willingness to amend the open space plan per Council direction, and staff preference to allow the project to move forward. Councilmember Clark expressed frustration the applicants did not provide a full set of engineered plans. Mr. Pili reiterated the importance to the City to allow the project to move forward for the golf course to become profitable and remain viable. Discussion ensued regarding the requirements and fund allotment for the putting green and options for approving or tabling the site plan. Mr. Pili stated, for the record, staff had requested the applicant present the design for the park, and the lack of plans complicates and potentially delays action by the Council. Discussion ensued regarding the timeframe for the applicants to provide a detailed landscaping plan and options for the location of the putting green. Mr. Mumford explained options that allow the Council's expectations to be met include withholding building permits, the certificate of occupancy, or the four-way inspection. Discussion ensued regarding the conditions to include in the motion, the implications of relocating the putting green including flooding prevention, and zoning allowance of leasing office space. Eagle Mountain City Council Meeting - April 7,2020 Page ll of16 Mr. Mumford explained the location is designated as Golf Course Open Space in the General Plan and the Municipal Code is vague as far as commercial space allowance. He said the clubhouse currently includes leased off,rce space. He advised that if the office space was intended for GreatLIFE's use, no condition would be required. A rezone or zone amendment would be necessary to lease the office space in the future.

An Ordinance of Eagle Mountain City, Utah, Amending the Eagle Mountain Municipal Code Chapter 17 .35 Commercial Zone Mr. Mumford presented the item. The proposed ordinance amends Eagle Mountain Municipal Code 17.35 Commercial Zone, replacing the existing zone with two new commercial zones, to implement the goals of the General Plan. The proposed amendment includes permitted and special land uses and development standards. The new zones are most appropriately used within areas designated as Community Commercial on the General Plan map; these zones may also be appropriate in other areas at the discretion of the Planning Commission and City Council. Mr. Mumford explained the land use table and differences between permitted, prohibited, and special uses and how they are identified in Municipal Code. The Planning Commission held a discussion and public hearing on March 10,2020 for the proposed amendment. The Planning Commission made changes to the land use table and recommended approval to City Council. At the meeting, no cornments were provided at the public hearing. Mr. Mumford presented the setback requirements for the zones and conditional uses. Councilmember Love requested clarification for the proposed location of these zones on the General Plan and in relation to major intersections and subdivisions. Mr. Mumford clarified potential locations for the Commercial Neighborhood and Commercial Community zones and explained the Council may grant tezone approvals regardless of the area's Eagle Mountain City Council Meeting - April 7, 2020 Page l2 of l6 existing Future Land Use designation, as long as the zoning adheres to the intent of the General Plan. Councilmember Curtis requested to change the permitted use of indoor, climate-controlled storage units to a prohibited use in the Commercial Community zone, in addition to the traditional, outdoor storage units already prohibited, and limit all storage unit construction to industrial areas. Councilmember Clark stated that commercial storage has been a frequently debated issue within the City and concurred with Councilmember Curtis' opinion to isolate all types of storage units to industrial areas but expressed a willingness to entertain other opinions or considerations. Councilmember Burnham clarified the designation for tattoo parlors and asked about the difference between the indoor and outdoor storage facilities. Mr. Mumford said the intent of the Planning Commission was not to allow the traditional, garage- door-style, outdoor storage units. He explained the indoor units are generally designed with office building facades or glass exteriors and include elevators and smaller, closet-like storage spaces. A developer suggested the inclusion due to the increasing popularity of indoor facilities and trends to locate indoor storage facilities near condominiums and apartments to provide additional storage for multi-housing units. Councilmember Curtis stated his preference for the zone uses to be restrictive and grant approval on a case-to-case basis. Councilmember Clark stated her uncertainty regarding the permittance of indoor storage facilities due to insufficient available data to determine community impact. Councilmember Curtis asked Mr. Mumford if any of the other permitted uses had been suggested by developers. Mr. Mumford said the Planning Commission had rejected a commercial developer's request to amend the zones to permit vertical commercial/residential mixed-use zoning in order for the Commission and Council to be able to consider each request individually. A developer also indicated recent inclusion of state liquor stores in strip malls instead of requiring a separate building, and the Planning Commission determined to allow state liquor stores as a permitted use in the Commercial Community zone. Councilmember Love stated storage facilities are industrial looking and concurred with Councilmember Curtis to prohibit all storage facilities. Councilmember Gray requested clarification on conditional uses. Mr. Mumford explained all the special and permitted uses are allowed uses within the zone and the special use designation indicated the uses must comply with additional standards as stipulated in Chapter 17.75 of Municipal Code. Councilmember Curtis asked if the Council needed to set the requirements for special uses. Mr. Mumford explained staff is working on special uses and will present the uses to the Council once available and any impacted applications will be put on hold until the standards requirements are Eagle Mountain City Council Meeting - April 7,2020 Page l3 of l6 approved. Councilmember Curtis suggested prohibiting all uses until staff completes the special uses standards revisions. Councilmember Love discussed the size of permitted grocery stores in the Commercial Neighborhood and Commercial Community zones with Mr. Mumford and suggested the inclusion ofsize restrictions. Councilmember Bumham stated appreciation for the intentions of Councilmember Curtis' suggestion but expressed concern regarding the temporary removal all permitted uses due to the protected status of certain land uses for civic institutions, healthcare facilities, etc. Councilmember Curtis agreed and said he had not considered the legal ramifications of the suggestion. Mayor Westmoreland opened the public hearing ot 8:57 p.m. No comments were submitted to the City Recorder's Office and no public was in attendance to make comment. As there were no commentg Mayor I4/estmoreland closed the hearing. Councilmember Clark asked if the other Councilmembers desired to table the item to allow time to discuss the changes with business owners to ensure no pertinent issues are overlooked. Councilmember Curtis asked if the Eagle Mountain Chamber of Commerce had reviewed the amendments. Mr. Mumford stated staff did not request feedback from any businesses but received feedback from one developer with a current application. Should the Council determine to table the item, Mr. Mumford requested feedback from the Council regarding any concerns and indicated staff could confer with local business owners, if desired. Councilmember Gray stated conditional uses were his only concem and felt the Council had sufficiently deliberated the item. Councilmember Love suggested the inclusion of a condition to define the square footage requirements for grocery stores in each of the zones. Discussion ensued regarding the appropriate square footage limitations for each zone. The Council directed staff to research and quantiff grocery store sizing requirements. Councilmember Curtis suggested conditioning the prohibition of all special uses, except for residential and civic purposes, until the special use standards are finalized and implemented. Discussion ensued regarding permitted use standards and restriction options.

CITY COUNCIL BOARD LIAISON REPORTS Councilmember Clark Councilmember Clark stated she will be hosting an online Q&A with Be Ready Eagle Mountain on April 23rd. Councilmember Burnham Councilmember Burnham stated during the Council of Governments transportation meeting held April 7,2020, the attendees were impressed that Eagle Mountain City had already conducted a transportation survey. As the survey focused on alternative uses instead of general transit concerns, the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) will assess the survey questions and evaluate if a follow up survey is necessary. UTA representatives were supportive of Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain City's joint concerns. They recognized the insufficient public transportation for our City size, and expressed the willingness to work together to find solutions.

Councilmember Gray Councilmember Gray stated he has been working with Ms. Peterson regarding the upcoming Pony Express Days. They have discussed moving the event further into the summer.

Councilmember Love recommended scheduling the event for a weekend in July or August. Councilmember Curtis Councilmember Curtis said the Eagle Mountain Chamber of Commerce has cancelled the after- hours event and is looking into ways to assist local businesses during the current economic climate. Mayor Westmoreland expressed concern regarding the social distancing directives impact on local businesses and the desire to determine and support creative ways for the City to assist them. Councilmember Clark suggested partnering with the Chamber of Commerce. Mayor Westmoreland directed Councilmember Curtis and Economic Development Director Aaron Sanborn to work with the Chamber of Commerce to determine needs and to explore solutions. Councilmember Curtis said he was contacted by the Eagle Mountain Art Alliance with a request to confer with City staff regarding a project.
