   Studio Crossing fee waiver

   Approved · 4-1

   The developer asked to waive $1,913,012 in impact and development permit fees; the fee committee had recommended $1.6 million based on 185 units, the $1.9 million covers 166 units and a waiver for 208 units would be $2.4 million. The project has 208 units, about 40% open space, a transit stop and senior housing. John Kenworthy supported the full waiver. Council Member Dickey opposed any waiver, saying the project is not public or nonprofit; Council Member Toly supported $1.6 million; Council Member Ciraco supported the larger waiver. A motion for $1.6 million failed 2-3, and the council then approved a maximum waiver based on 166 units (about $1.9 million), 4-1.

   Moved by Council Member Bill Ciraco, seconded by Council Member Jeremy Rubell. Vote: 4-1; Council Member Ryan Dickey voted no (an earlier motion for $1.6 million failed 2-3)

   Studio Crossing affordable housing fee waiver

   Continued · 5-0

   The developer asked to waive up to $1,913,012 in building permit, water, parks, trails and police impact fees for the voluntary affordable portion of the 208-unit project (77 units under 80% area median income, 23 added above the original 185). Developer representatives said waivers were to be sought at the building permit stage. Dickey said market-rate density was the incentive and waivers are for public or nonprofit projects; Rubell and Parigian supported the waiver; Toly opposed 80% AMI as not truly affordable and proposed waiving only the 77 units; Ciraco wanted value-for-value public benefit. Motions by Rubell to waive and by Dickey to deny died for lack of a second; Parigian's motion to approve the earlier waiver failed 2-3; the council then continued the item to a date uncertain.

   Moved by Council Member Bill Ciraco, seconded by Council Member Ryan Dickey. Vote: 5-0 to continue; a motion to approve the earlier waiver failed 2-3 (Council Members Ciraco, Dickey and Toly voted no)

   Studio Crossing impact and permit fee waiver

   Continued · 3-1

   The developer asked the council to waive $1,666,116.45 in impact and development permit fees under Municipal Code 11-12-15 for the affordable portion of Studio Crossing, which includes 208 affordable units, 23 added since the original plan. Staff said the gap between requested and recommended amounts reflects removing 65 required units. Council Member Ed Parigian supported the recommendation and proposed a sliding scale tied to area median income; Council Member Ryan Dickey said the request does not meet the code standard; Council Member Tana Toly backed the staff recommendation; Council Member Jeremy Rubell supported it plus a waiver for the 23 added units. The council continued the item, recalculated for 143 units, to August 22 on the consent agenda.

   Moved by Council Member Jeremy Rubell, seconded by Council Member Tana Toly. Vote: 3-1; Council Member Ryan Dickey voted no; Council Member Bill Ciraco excused

   Ordinance 2022-47: Park City Film Studios / Studio Crossing, 3981 Kearns Boulevard

   Approved · 3-2

   A 20.46-acre project at Quinn's Junction with 42.4 required affordable unit equivalents and 185 affordable units (120 additional units rented up to 80 percent of area median income for households up to 120 percent), 60,000 square feet of commercial space, up to 100 for-sale market-rate units and heights from 25 to 45 feet. The Planning Commission approved an 89-stall parking reduction (565 provided, 655 required, 527 estimated demand). Five speakers supported it. Doilney said the applicant met all requirements; Gerber supported it and asked about EV chargers; Toly favored workforce housing. Rubell said Fire District approval should precede council action and wanted a nightly-rental cap and some for-sale units; Dickey questioned the net affordable impact (about a 35 to 40 unit net gain) and wanted an analysis before approval.

   • Affordable units: 185
   • Commercial: 60,000 sq ft
