Item 14.C · Zoning
Business park zones, Chapter 17.37
Approved · 5-0
After a public hearing with no comments, the council approved a chapter dividing business park land into Light Manufacturing/Distribution, Medical/Educational Campus and Office Professional zones. Satellite colleges are permitted in Office Professional and large ones discouraged; development near natural washes needs significant setbacks measured from the top of the bank.
Item 14.D · Zoning
Warehouse farming overlay zone, Chapter 17.51
Tabled · 5-0
After a public hearing with no comments, the council tabled the overlay zone for cannabis production. Proposed standards included 1,000-foot setbacks from schools, religious buildings, day cares and parks, 600 feet from residential zones and homes, a 35-foot height limit and odor mitigation preventing detection at the property line. Council Member Jared Gray felt 600 feet was insufficient, Council Member Melissa Clark wanted strict odor rules, Council Member Carolyn Love wanted larger setbacks and more specific locations, and Council Member Donna Burnham worried that designated locations could be built out, opening the use citywide. The City Attorney noted the state caps cultivators at eight.
Item 14.E · City code
Flood damage prevention ordinance, Chapter 15.105.020
Approved · 5-0
The council approved a FEMA-required flood damage prevention ordinance. No flood zones have been identified in the city.

Approved · 5-0
The council accepted for review a petition submitted June 3, 2020 to annex 204.69 acres west of the Arrival subdivision (Utah County parcels 58:044:0011 and 58:044:0012). Applicant Kim Rindlisbacher plans to develop 20 acres; city standards require a 160-acre minimum, so the whole property is included. The General Plan designates the land Open Space and Parks; Rindlisbacher said the owners were not notified of this. Council Member Colby Curtis clarified that accepting the petition does not approve the annexation or any land use.
