Public Hearing -- RV Park Ordinance Amendment; Ordinance #2020-1-O. The Lindon City Council will review for approval Lindon City Code Chapter 28 17.78.060 regarding the requirement that recreational vehicle parks provide a sanitary dump station. Application made my Madson HAVN, LLC on behalf of 30 the Lindon Marina. 32 COUNCILMEMBER BRODERICK MOVED TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. COUNCILMEMBER HOYT SECONDED THE MOTION. ALL 34 PRESENT VOTED IN FAVOR. THE MOTION CARRIED. 36 Mike Florence, Planning & Economic Development Director led this agenda item by explaining the applicant, Mr. Madson is petitioning the City Council for a 38 recommendation to amend section 17.78.060(5) of the city code in order to remove the requirement that recreational vehicle parks provide a sanitary dump station for holding 40 tank disposal. He noted Vineyard City will be providing the sewer utility to the site and they do not allow RV dump stations. The proposed amendment will allow the Lindon 42 Marina to operate an RV park that will comply with Vineyard City regulations and Lindon City's RV Park Ordinance. In order for Mr. Madson to meet Vineyard's 44 requirements and comply with Lindon City Code, the dump station requirement must be amended. Lindon City Council February 4, 2020 Page 2 of 13 8 2 Mr. Florence explained although city staff and Mr. Madson feel that a dump station would be a benefit to the RV park and its customers, Vineyards requirements need 4 to be met. Mr. Florence then presented the Proposed ordinance language followed by discussion. He then turned the time over to the applicant for comment. 6 Mr. Madson explained their proposed plan is to create 32 recreational park spaces. They will be bringing sewer and water into the marina through Vineyard City that will be 8 available individually to the 14 park spaces in the semi-circle area just to the north of the entrance to the marina. He noted space #1 will be the location of the permanent on-site 10 manager's residence. Those spaces will also be provided individual electrical pedestals. The remaining 18 park spaces will be provided electrical pedestals but not initially 12 water/sewer connections. Each of these parcels will be a minimum of 1,000 square feet in size and have individually a picnic table and a free-standing grill and at least one tree for 14 shade. Mr. Madson went on to say the RVs will park on leveled/graveled or slag material 16 and all the rest of the designated area will be landscaped grass with sprinkler system or possible dry landscaping. It is their intention to initially place two tiny homes in two of 18 the full utility pads located in the semi-circle area. They will own these and rent them out to the general public. It is anticipated, if market demands, that they will increase the 20 number of tiny home rentals in pads where there are full hookups (water/sewer and electricity) with a maximum of 14 tiny homes. 22 Mr. Madson stated the office for RV park patrons will be just inside the general store which will have signage showing office hours and will also be posted at the 24 entrance of the marina. There will be a pitch toilet (one for men and one for women) that may be converted to flush toilets with sinks. There is also a large open space between the 26 general store and pads 14 through 22. The entire marina is open space available for patrons in the RV park which includes 260 yards of picnic area and sand beach as well as 28 the peninsulas bordering the lake. Trees will also be added along entrance area as indicated in Engineering plan. The marina has approximately 100 parking spaces for 30 general public that will be available to RV patrons in addition to their individual parking space by their pad. There will be an existing large dumpster available for the entire 32 marina with many small trash receptacles throughout the marina. There is a large lamp post at the entrance of the marina, the existing bathroom has lights as well as lamp post 34 by general store. Mr. Madson then went over the three phases as follows: 36 Phase One: The first phase is to have the water/sewer lines brought into the marina to service the first 38 14 pads in the semi-circle area. The lines will also go to the existing bathroom as indicated for purpose of potentially converting existing bathrooms to flush toilets and 40 possible additions of shower facility. Once the sewer and water are brought to all 14 pads in the semi-circle area then grading will take place for the entire area and materials 42 brought in to provide parking for the RVs (gravel/slag), picnic tables and grill and then the rest of the area will be either grass with sprinkler system or desert landscaping. Then 44 the parking area with roto milling asphalt or suitable firm and yet permeable materials will be used for parking for vehicles accessing the individual RV and Tiny Home pads. 46 Phase Two: Lindon City Council February 4, 2020 Page 3 of 13 9 2 Electric lines and then pedestals for hookups taken to each of the pads 15-22. Once installed then grade parking for RVs and put in gravel/slag or suitable materials with 4 picnic tables and grills for each pad. Rest of the area will be grass with sprinklers and/or suitable dry landscaping. Then the road will be widened by ten feet with additional 18 6 feet of suitable materials (slag/roto milling asphalt for parking). Phase Three: 8 Electric lines and then pedestals for hookups to each of the pads 23-32. This area parking, cement pads, picnic tables are already completed and existing. Just need to add grills to 10 the existing cement pads. The landscaping which is grass with sprinkler system is already completed and each pad already has an existing tree. This existing camp area is done 12 except for running electric lines. This area already has had for years RVs camping there. Note: If the demand for full hookups are evident then the plan is to run water/sewer to 14 pads 15-22 at some point. 16 Mr. Madson pointed out even if he chooses not to make any changes they are clearly grandfathered in and they could continue their operation as they are right now. He 18 noted they have an option to renew the lease in 2026 for an additional 20 years. They would absolutely not be doing this if they didn't have the 26 years. He is a retired 20 attorney and he went through the emails and went through the language and received the phone calls with the exchange basically saying "we intend to do this and we are going to 22 invest and front load this kind of money and it only makes sense if we can continue it," and they responded "as long as you behave" we will give you first option. He is doing 24 this more for his kids and grandkids. Mr. Madson explained they have chosen not to put sewer and electricity lines to all of the sites at this time because it is cost prohibitive and 26 they feel it makes good market sense to have a mixed use at this time. Following some additional discussion, the Council was in agreement to approve 28 the ordinance amendment as presented. Mayor Acerson called for any public comments. Hearing none he called for a 30 motion to close the public hearing. 32 COUNCILMEMBER HOYT MOVED TO CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING. COUNCILMEMBER BRODERICK SECONDED THE MOTION. ALL PRESENT 34 VOTED IN FAVOR. THE MOTION CARRIED. 36 Mayor Acerson called for any further comments or discussion from the Council. Hearing none he called for a motion. 38 COUNCILMEMBER BRODERICK MOVED TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 40 AMENDMENT #2020-1-O AS PRESENTED. COUNCILMEMBER POWELL SECONDED THE MOTION. THE VOTE WAS RECORDED AS FOLLOWS: 42 COUNCILMEMBER LUNDBERG AYE COUNCILMEMBER HOYT AYE 44 COUNCILMEMBER BRODERICK AYE COUNCILMEMBER POWELL AYE 46 COUNCILMEMBER VANCHIERE AYE Lindon City Council February 4, 2020 Page 4 of 13 10 2 THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 4 7. Presentation & Discussion -- Parks, Trails, & Recreation Master Plan. MHTN Architects will present highlights of the draft update to the Parks, Trails & 6 Recreation Master Plan for council consideration and feedback. The final document and updated impact fee will be adopted at a future meeting. 8 Adam Cowie, City Administrator stated the consultants working on the Parks, 10 Trails, and Recreation Master Plan would like to tighten up their draft before having discussion with the Council and have asked for this agenda item to be continued. He 12 noted we plan to receive an updated draft for review from MHTN before the next Council meeting to be held on February 18, 2020. 14 Mayor Acerson called for any comments or discussion from the Council. Hearing none he moved on to the next agenda item. 16 8. Discussion Item -- Moderate Income Housing Options. Robert Vernon, CEO 18 of the Provo Housing Authority will present moderate income housing options with the council for discussion. 20 Mr. Cowie stated Robert Vernon, CEO of the Provo Housing Authority is in 22 attendance tonight to present moderate income housing options with the council for discussion. Mr. Vernon then gave his presentation followed by discussion. 24 Mr. Vernon noted when he came on board, the Provo City Housing Authority was limited to Provo but as of three years ago they can now go anywhere in the county. The 26 Housing Authority addresses extremely low-income individuals. Some of the programs go up to 40% on vouchers but mainly addresses the extremely low-income groups. They 28 have a non-profit Utah Regional Housing Court that does a lot of tax credit development and they have a lot of properties in partnership with other service agencies. They just 30 changed to working a wider area with most of those being located in Provo (several hundred units) that are addressing 40-60% of varied median income. They have just 32 started up a community land trust which addresses workforce housing; this will be 70- 120% of median income. 34 Mr. Vernon indicated these are the three entities they are trying to address with a broad spectrum of housing with the land trust focusing on home ownership. Mr. Vernon 36 also spoke on deed restrictions noting basically you are controlling the next purchaser and income level. It is tied in with the home owner and if the homeowner files 38 bankruptcy the land use restriction agreement (LURA) is terminated. With the community land trust, they own the land and do a 99-year ground lease that controls 40 enforcement that the home must be owner occupied and the rules enforced and all zoning requirements are followed. When the owner goes to sell in the future they are restricted 42 on the amount of appreciation that they can take with them (25%) and 75% of the appreciation in the home stays with the home and the trust has first right of refusal to buy 44 it back and make sure its fixed up and then sell it to the next person who qualifies. If they are contracting to manage that process, it would be in the $125 per unit per year; they are 46 vetting the people going into it and checking every year to make sure they still own it. Lindon City Council February 4, 2020 Page 5 of 13 11 2 One of the things that happens with deed restrictions when cities do that, over a period of time they will lose track and people will sell and a lot of times that doesn't get caught so 4 the next buyer has already bought it and they are not qualified under the land use restrictions. 6 Mr. Vernon went on to say that they could rent under a land use restriction and under the ground lease they must be owner occupied. In his opinion, is a great thing 8 because if you are providing affordability to somebody that is buying something under market then they should be living in the home. With a land use restriction, it is up to the 10 city what they want them to do or enforce with a land trust there would be no fee to the city; that is part of what they do. There are things they can do with a land trust to ensure 12 they are following the rules. Mr. Vernon stated this is just starting up and the first thing they did was to buy 6 14 townhomes in Provo and will rehab them themselves and will sell them between $170,000 - $180,000. They are hoping to launch this in February/March. In this case, 16 they filed for a CDBG grant for the additional funding. Any cities that gift of land or money in terms of how it can be funded (impact fees etc.) they will give a first right to 18 first responders, teachers, etc. Mr. Vernon stated a family of four can qualify making $63,000/yr. They are working with banking relationships right now (Fanny Mae and 20 Freddy Mac have a lending product). The voucher program is under the public housing entity. They work with the Governor's office and the legislature in trying to get more 22 funding. Mr. Vernon stated he would love to have further discussion on how to transfer some of the Ivory Development units into the land trust and look at ways to work with 24 Ivory to make that happen if that is something the council would consider. Following some general discussion, the Council thanked Mr. Vernon coming and 26 for presenting this valuable information for consideration. Mayor Acerson called for any further comments or discussion from the Council. 28 Hearing none he moved on to the next agenda item. 30 9. Discussion Item -- Transitional Housing along Commercial Corridors. Mike Florence, Planning & Economic Development Director, will lead a discussion on 32 options for commercial depths and transitional housing zones on deep parcels along the state street corridor and TOD for the 700 North Corridor. 34 Mr. Florence led this discussion item by stating the Lindon City Council and 36 Planning Commission have recently been presented, through a concept plan process, with proposals to allow additional uses to develop the back portion of some of the deeper 38 commercial lots along State Street. Due to the depth of these lots, developers have proposed both housing and storage unit options for these properties. He noted this report 40 evaluates the following themes: · Appropriate State Street commercial depths; and 42 · Discussion points for appropriate housing transitions from Commercial to Low Density residential; 44 · 700 North Master Plan/TOD Lindon City Council February 4, 2020 Page 6 of 13 12 2 At this time Mr. Florence presented Exhibit #1 that shows Lindon State Street and depths identified at 200', 300', 400', and 500'. Exhibit #2 is the 1979 zoning map which 4 shows that Lindon originally created a 500' commercial depth for all properties along State Street. As seen in the current zoning map on exhibit 3, the depth of that 500' 6 Commercial General zoning has been modified over time. He noted Staff reached out to a number of commercial brokers to discuss State Street commercial and evaluate different 8 commercial type developments. The brokers that staff talked with recommended that unless an anchor commercial project with pad sites is proposed, commercial along State 10 Street should have a commercial depth of 250'-300'. This depth accommodates for most typical commercial type uses. Exhibit 4 (pages 5-10) shows a number of typical pad site 12 measurements for both Utah and Salt Lake County developments. Mr. Florence stated Lindon City currently regulates transition and buffering 14 between commercial and residential uses in two primary ways as follows: 1. By the allowed uses the City allows in the Commercial General zone; and 16 2. Physical scale and separation such as: a) Height of commercial buildings. Example, the Commercial General zone 18 currently allows commercial buildings to be constructed to a height of 48'with the exception of the CGA8 zone which allows 80'; 20 b) 40-foot buffer separation from commercial to residential; c) 7' masonry fence; 22 d) 30' foot rear yard setback for single family homes. 24 Mr. Florence further explained that Lindon City currently allows a number of residential uses in the Commercial General and Mixed Commercial zones. See chart 26 below. Staff made the recommendation in the Moderate-Income Housing Plan that the City should review these uses to evaluate if they are still relevant and compatible with the 28 intent of the commercial zone and modify if needed. In recent years, the City has deviated slightly from its traditional suburban form in creating the Senior Housing 30 Overlay and conditionally allowing such developments as the Avalon Senior Living and yet to be constructed Lindon Ridge Apartments. 32 Mr. Florence went on to say that many communities across the country have struggled with determining the appropriate development patterns, buffers, density, and 34 transitions from commercial to residential. Lindon is approaching a stage in the City's growth pattern that there is desire by developers to start constructing infill development. 36 Infill development can often, if not done correctly, cause concern from neighbors when adjoining properties begin to change. 38 Mr. Florence indicated that residential land uses include a range of residential classifications including low, medium, and high density. Density is expressed in dwelling 40 units per acre (DU/AC) for single or multiple family dwellings. Zoning regulations may allow in residential areas a limited number of non-residential uses, such as places of 42 worship, neighborhood parks, schools, etc. The goal of housing and residential areas in Lindon City is to provide a housing and living environment that supports and 44 complements the unique rural quality and character of Lindon City. Objectives of this goal are as follows: 46 · Maintain and enhance the pleasing appearance and environmental quality of Lindon City Council February 4, 2020 Page 7 of 13 13 2 existing residential neighborhoods by avoiding encroachment of land uses which would adversely impact residential areas (i.e. increased traffic, noise, visual 4 disharmony, etc.) and by providing adequate screening and buffering of any adjacent commercial or industrial development including parking and service 6 areas; · Consider flexibility in housing development design and density in the R3 zone. 8 (area between Geneva Road and 2000 W. Anderson Farms); · Encourage creative approaches to housing development which will maintain and 10 protect natural resources and environmental features; · Provide for the unique community needs of the elderly, disabled, and children. 12 · Carefully limit any negative impact of commercial facilities on neighboring land use areas, particularly residential development; 14 · The relationship of planned land uses should reflect consideration of existing development, environmental conditions, service and transportation needs, and 16 fiscal impacts; · Developed areas should be protected and revitalized by promoting new 18 development and the adaptive reuse of existing community resources; · A variety of housing types should be provided where appropriate, and innovative 20 development patterns and building methods that will result in more affordable housing should be encouraged; 22 · Transitions between different land uses and intensities should be made gradually with compatible uses, particularly where natural or man-made buffers are not 24 available; · Growth should be guided to locations contiguous to existing development to 26 provide city services and transportation in a cost-effective and efficient manner; · Density increases should be considered only upon demonstration of adequate 28 infrastructure and resource availability. 30 Mr. Florence stated as staff researched this issue, communities from around the country have dealt appropriate use transitions in different ways. Some have created 32 overlay zones while others have created transition requirements within new or existing zones. Mr. Florence pointed out as seen in the recent housing boom, there is often a 34 large, growing and underserved market that exists for housing types that lie between typical low-density subdivisions and high-density multi-family complexes. Lindon City 36 has a significantly lower population between the ages of 25-34 when compared to Utah County, State of Utah and the United States. Zoning in Utah has come to a point where it 38 is not sufficient to say that a project must be compatible with the neighborhood. Utah Code 10-9a-509 requires cities to limit options for discretionary review and states "a 40 municipality may not impose on an applicant who has submitted a complete application a requirement that is not expressed in the following: 42 · this chapter (Utah Code); · a municipal ordinance; or 44 · a municipal specification for public improvements applicable to a subdivision or development that is in effect on the date that the applicant submits an 46 application." Lindon City Council February 4, 2020 Page 8 of 13 14 2 Mr. Florence then discussed what other cities have implemented to mitigate housing impacts scale and height The scale/massing and height of new structures play a 4 vital role in developing cohesive and strong neighborhoods. Residents are often concerned about what impacts, especially higher density projects, will have on them. For 6 example, the General Commercial zone in Lindon allows commercial property to have a maximum height of 48' and the R1-20 Single Family Zone allows residential properties 8 to have a maximum height of 35'. Any transitions zones should call out that maximum height and number of stories. 10 Mr. Florence explained the typical commercial buffer next to a residential use is a 7' masonry wall and no commercial building can be within 40' of the side or rear 12 property lines when adjacent to residential use or zone. The rear setback requirements for single family is 30'. Any ordinances should address this buffer area as requiring the 14 appropriate setback to maintain the neighborhood character. For example, some planning commissioners have discussed how they like the Penni Lane twin home development in 16 Orem at approximately 1200 N. 800 E. Orem's zoning for single family lots require a 25' setback and the Penni Lane project has 20' foot private rear yards. 18 Mr. Florence noted the parking should be evaluated to make sure it is sufficient for both the residents and visitors of the development and doesn't spill out into the 20 surrounding neighborhood. The street widths also are relevant as to how much parking can be accommodated. 22 Mr. Florence stated open space, private yards and project amenities are often one of the last things designed when developing multi-family developments. Open space in 24 any form needs to be in usable size segments where it can be used as an amenity. Many communities will require that a percentage of the lot be used as open space. Daybreak is 26 an example of how open space can be incorporated an amenity but also maintain neighborhood character. Many of their neighborhood blocks have varying housing types 28 constructed around open space. Similar to a court yard type development. Mr. Florence indicated that Lindon City currently does not have residential design 30 standards. He noted if the city council decides to implement a transitional type zoning, then staff recommends that the city council consider adopting standards. Structure types 32 may also be considered when planning for development. As an example, Daybreak includes varying housing types within a development area or block. For example, they 34 will allow detached single-family homes, twin homes and triplexes built on the same block. 36 Mr. Florence pointed out that for many zoning districts, the City either requires that a zone be a specific size or establishes a specific lot size. Higher density simply 38 means new residential development at a density that is higher than what is typically found in the existing community. For many projects, setting standards for parking, height, open 40 space, development size, and buffering can pre-determine the density of a project. However, the City Council has the right to set specific density requirements for a zone. 42 Staff does not recommend relying solely on setting density maximums to determine if a project will be well designed or not. Mr. Florence noted a few things to consider when 44 looking at density as follows: · Higher density housing does not have to be low income. However, as a 46 consideration of a zone change the council could consider a percentage to be Lindon City Council February 4, 2020 Page 9 of 13 15 2 moderate-income as a trade for density; · More individuals are choosing to live in a denser development. Some choose this 4 due to affordability and others for convenience or life style; · Traffic and parking have to be evaluated but does not necessarily mean there 6 always will be significant impacts; · Better define housing types with a greater specificity (for example, not just 8 density but structure type) could influence what type of new housing is constructed. 10 Mr. Florence then presented for discussion a number of housing examples that show both good and bad examples of housing impacts and design using the above 12 discussion points. He stated if the City Council decides that it wants to allow residential as a transitional use then staff recommends the following steps: 14 · Preserve the existing General Commercial zone with the current depths; · Create either a housing transition zone or overlay zone to accommodate 16 residential; · Produce development regulations and design standards for transitional/multi- 18 family residential uses. 20 Mr. Florence mentioned that Lindon City recently received a $50,000 planning grant from UDOT to hire a consultant to develop a small area master plan for the 700 N. 22 Corridor. Utah Transit Authority is currently studying extending the Bus Rapid Transit line north from Provo and Orem to Lehi. Mountainland Association of Governments has 24 also identified the railroad tracks running parallel to Geneva Road (owned by UTA) as a future light rail line. With BRT and light rail, 700 North has the potential to become one 26 of the best transit connected areas in the valley. As part of the master plan, staff would like the consultant to evaluate planning for a light rail station and transit-oriented 28 development adjacent to the station. Mr. Florence mentioned the 700 North corridor taking is on both sides of the 30 street and is approximately 70 acres. The time frame for light rail is probably still 20-30 years out. However, having a station has the potential of generating opportunities for 32 economic development as well as placemaking for a vibrant neighborhood. During the master plan process the City will be able to evaluate how housing fits in with the overall 34 plan for the properties. Mr. Florence pointed out this could be a great opportunity for the City to get ahead of future planning to ensure that Lindon City doesn't miss out on 36 getting a transit station. Staff would like feedback from the city council if this is something that they are in favor of. 38 Mr. Florence then presented the Commercial Depth Map, 1979 Zoning Map, 2018 Zoning Map, Commercial Depth Examples, Residential Height/Scale Examples, and 40 Residential Density Examples followed by some general discussion. There was then some lengthy discussion regarding housing transitions, overlays 42 zones, changing the commercial general zone, calling out specific standards if over 300 ft.; there are other innovative ways to change the zoning. Mr. Florence stated he would 44 not recommend changing the zoning on the deep commercial lots as yet. He would suggest letting someone bring that to us and keep the legislative power whether or not to 46 re-zone property. Lindon City Council February 4, 2020 Page 10 of 13 16 2 Attendee, Jeff Southard commented that the examples presented (Daybreak, Penny Lane, etc.) are residential or near residential and hundreds of acres that can be 4 master planned. What we are talking about is 5 or 6-acre parcels behind commercial off State Street that has no access to the residential neighborhoods and is a very different 6 value. These types of mix of product cannot be done on 5 acres behind commercial and are not the same value at all and each parcel is unique and individual. Having a transition 8 of height that makes sense between residential with commercial on the front does make sense and that is why they are proposing 2 story 3-plexes which are at the lower density, 10 that would make a good transition from residential to the commercial on State Street. Commissioner Kallas commented this is the dilemma we have to consider 12 because we have to protect the integrity of our single-family housing and figure out a way to make it work for everyone. Chairperson Call commented she not opposed to 14 some different types of housing, but thinks it needs to be a mixed type of housing and agrees we need to be very careful to protect the residents next to this type of housing; the 16 architecture also needs to blend. Commissioner Johnson agrees transitions are important and personally he would prefer to see a nice retirement type home/condo (that are not 18 high density) rather than storage units in his neighborhood as what has been proposed. Councilmember Lundberg commented there is a tricky balance between doing 20 what is right for the community at large because whatever is designed in these locations can conceivably be there for a hundred years. So, we need to be careful of the vision we 22 create and be behind it and be clear on what that vision is. We are seeing now we maybe need to more open minded to the transitional middle gap but still meets Lindon's values. 24 Councilmember Powell commented it's a fine line that we walk as citizens and the legislative body for the city trying to decide how the future looks. She is not in favor 26 of spot zoning either but we need to figure out what is the best in the in-fill because of what land that is available, and the depths and the way the economy changes and how 28 commerce works. She would like to see more in-depth discussions with the Council and interaction with the community before making any decisions. 30 Mr. Florence stated his purpose is to see if the Council is supportive of taking the next step in looking at zoning options on some of these deeper commercial lots. If so, 32 staff can start having some more in-depth conversations with the Planning Commission and City Council; does that meet our goals of the general plan? 34 Mayor Acerson commented as you step into a zoning modification, there are people that own property along those areas and you would want them to be part of that 36 conversation; perhaps an ad hoc committee. Following some additional discussion Mr. Florence stated staff will come back to 38 the commission and council with a plan in how to move forward. Mayor Acerson called for any further comments or discussion from the Council or 40 Commission. Hearing none he moved on to the next agenda item. 42 10.

She 20 mentioned the things they are doing at the silicone slope are amazing and shows the relevance of where Utah is sitting internationally. It also stresses the importance of how 22 the dynamic of the buildings are and how they relate to the tech world and those who work and live there and the importance to stay collaborative to what they are doing.
