Item 1.B · Development
Pole Canyon extraction permit
Discussed
In the work session the council heard a request from DAI Land Development to remove about half a million cubic yards of material from a 68-acre area in 11-acre increments to grade for homes within the 3,000-acre Pole Canyon development, finishing by the end of 2020. Material would stay in Pole Canyon under the master development agreement. Members raised blasting, truck routes, dust, the 4000 North realignment with UDOT, fines, nearby residents and water tanks, ridgeline grading and processing noise. The council directed engineering to address these issues and consider regulations and fines. Staff will approve the permit unless the council asks for it to return as an action item.
- Applicant: DAI Land Development (Nate Shipp; Steve Jackson, Jackson Engineering)
- Scope: about 500,000 cubic yards from 68 acres

Business park zones (17.37) and warehouse farming overlay (17.55) discussion
Discussed
In the work session the council reviewed a new Chapter 17.37 creating Light Manufacturing/Distribution, Medical/Educational Campus and Office Professional zones, recommended unanimously by the Planning Commission May 12, and a Warehouse Farming Overlay Zone (17.55) meeting state code for cannabis production, recommended Nov. 12, 2019 and held for state agriculture department feedback. No vote was taken.
Item 12.A · Development
Arrival second amendment to master development plan
Approved · 5-0
The council approved the second amendment to the Arrival master development plan, reducing lots from 178 residential plus one church parcel to 175 residential plus one church parcel on a plan redesigned for septic drain fields after shallow bedrock and poor soils; state and county health rules now require two redundant drain fields per lot. The Planning Commission recommended denial 3-2 on May 12 over connectivity, lot sizes, septic on half-acre lots and lots next to Camp Williams and North Ranch. The plan adds a 2.16-acre park. Lots over 2 acres rise from 6 to 9, lots of 1 to 1.99 acres fall from 137 to 119 and lots of 0.5 to 0.99 acre rise from 36 to 48. Applicant Scot Hazard said two lots were removed to add a connecting road. Council Member Jared Gray asked whether the plan follows the original agreement; Community Development Director Steve Mumford said no large-lot percentage was required and density dropped slightly. Support emails came from two area residents.
- Applicant: Scot Hazard
- Lots: 175 residential + 1 church parcel (from 178 + 1)
- Planning Commission: recommended denial 3-2
Item 12.B · Subdivision
Arrival Phase B preliminary plat amendment
Approved · 5-0
The council approved the amended preliminary plat, which complies with standards except the septic prohibition on half-acre lots; an exemption may be granted since sewer is unavailable. Gray noted the developer's park cost three lots and said he appreciated adherence to the agreement's intent.
Item 13.4 · Zoning
Commercial zones ordinance, Chapter 17.35
Approved · 5-0
After a public hearing, the council approved the ordinance creating the Commercial Regional Zone and making gas/service stations and auto sales/minor services special uses. Bettina Cameron, for the Eagle Mountain Wildlife Group, asked to ban piping of natural washes and proposed a 50-foot setback from wash edges, as recommended by the state Division of Wildlife Resources. Staff will remove language allowing piping and add that washes be preserved and deeded to the city when possible. Mumford said he preferred some flexibility on setbacks.
Item 13.B · City code
Sign regulations, Chapter 17.80
Approved · 5-0
After a public hearing with no comments, the council approved an exemption for city-owned official signs and electronic sign language stating signs should be turned off between midnight and 5 a.m. except for necessary communications. Council Member Colby Curtis supported the Planning Commission's 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. limit, citing dark skies; Gray suggested midnight to 5 a.m.; Council Member Melissa Clark favored starting more restrictive; Council Member Donna Burnham favored night information for residents with non-standard hours.
Item 13.C · City code
Repeal of Airpark Zone, Chapter 17.45
Approved · 5-0
After a public hearing with no comments, the council repealed the Airpark Zone, which the General Plan does not designate and which allows uses far beyond recent airpark proposals. The chapter keeps its title with text reserved for future airport regulations. Council Member Carolyn Love favored approving an airport or airpark if one is proposed.
Item 13.D · Taxes and fees
Parks and recreation impact fee
Approved · 5-0
The council approved the updated parks impact fee, removing the word 'revitalization' from the report. Proposed fees per household were $110 for single family plus a $3,580 Mid-Valley regional buy-in ($3,690 total) and $77 plus $2,511 for multifamily ($2,588 total). Deann Huish of the Utah Valley Home Builders Association, who hired consultant Arthur C. Nelson, said the plans do not match the 2009 parks master plan and that revitalization funds are ineligible. Consultant Fred Philpot said state reviews in 2015 and 2018 found the level of investment acceptable and that revitalization meant expansion of installed parks. Parks Director Brad Hickman said impact fees have never funded repair or replacement. The City Attorney said notice requirements were met and only the home builders association had responded.
- Fee$3,690
- Fee$2,588
