Agenda, item by item
Item 12.A · Budget
First amendment to the FY 2020-2021 budget
Approved · 5-0
After a public hearing with no comments, the council approved the amendment. It adds $35,000 for human resources software and $20,000 for Accela land-management software in the general fund, and transfers $20 million from impact-fee funds to the enterprise funds: $3 million for a sewer plant expansion, $4 million for a water/sewer building and $13 million to buy two years of Central Water Project water shares in advance. Staff said the 2.5% advance-purchase discount saves about $500,000. The HR software contract was still under legal review; at under $40,000 and one year it does not need council approval.

Item 12.B · Zoning
Rezone of about 39 acres, Marketplace at Eagle Mountain Town Center
Tabled · 5-0
The applicant asked to rezone about 39 acres at the northwest corner of Pony Express Parkway and Eagle Mountain Boulevard to Commercial Community, MF1 and MF2. The Planning Commission voted 4-0 in June to recommend rezoning all of it to Community Commercial. In the work session, applicant representative Bill Gaskill said he would delay housing until the grocery store opens but would not build the commercial portion if the residential rezone were denied. Council Member Colby Curtis preferred commercial only for now; Council Member Donna Burnham supported mixed use with density limits; Council Member Carolyn Love was reluctant on MF2; Council Member Melissa Clark wanted legal protection and commercial built first; Council Member Jared Gray questioned road capacity. City Attorney Jeremy Cook recommended a development agreement. The council tabled the item until a master development agreement with a sample residential site plan is submitted, and directed staff to include a development trigger, zone designation, unit maximum and expiration date. Two residents commented: one on a drainage easement possibly serving as trail access, one opposing high-density multifamily housing.
- Acres: about 39
- Requested: Commercial Community, MF1, MF2 (maximum 134 residential units per staff)
- Planning Commission: 4-0 to recommend Community Commercial for all
- Applicant representative: Bill Gaskill
Item 12.C · Zoning
Sweetwater Industrial overlay zone and Lot 1 rezone for LBiSat
Approved with conditions · 5-0
The council approved the Sweetwater Industrial overlay on Lot 1 with a Light Manufacturing/Distribution designation for the LBiSat project and tabled the rest of the property. Staff and the city attorney said the overlay for Lot 1 alone would avoid delaying the project. Applicant Scot Hazard said the project has contractual deadlines. Conditions: auto sales and service, convenience stores and electronic data management are permitted; laundries, manufactured-home developments, motels and hotels, and drive-through restaurants and banks are prohibited. The Planning Commission had voted 4-0 to recommend approval for specific lots and areas.
- Applicant: Scot Hazard
- Lot 1: 10 acres (LBiSat)
- Planning Commission: 4-0
Item 12.D · City code
Lot line adjustment and plat amendment code changes
Approved · 5-0
The council amended Municipal Code chapters 16.50 and 16.55 to require a Mylar for lot line adjustments and plat amendments and to let staff approve minor lot line adjustments. Staff said the added cost to applicants would be slight. No public comment.
Item 13.A · Development
Sweetwater Industrial Park master site plan and preliminary plat
Approved with conditions · 5-0
The council approved the master site plan and preliminary plat on the Planning Commission's 4-1 recommendation; the dissent concerned removing landscaped medians along major roads. Dedications are 76 feet on the north (Tiffany Lane), 61 feet on the east (Pony Express Parkway) and 77 feet for the collector (1020 East). A traffic study will be required with individual site plans where needed. Conditions: a landscaping plan for park strips with street trees, with no medians required on Tiffany Lane or Pony Express Parkway.
Item 14.A · Development
LBiSat site plan
Approved with conditions · 5-0
The council approved a site plan for a satellite communication facility on 10 acres in Sweetwater Industrial Park. The largest antennas are about nine meters across and the structure is under the 50-foot overlay height limit. The Planning Commission had recommended approval with conditions. Conditions: a dark-sky-compliant lighting plan, sign permits, screening of the trash enclosure with building materials, and building articulation following the updated renderings.

What residents said
Airport Road access for Sage ValleyMultifamily density at MarketplaceTrail access and drainage easement
Zac Huish, a Sage Valley resident, asked for an alternate emergency exit because Airport Road is now private, and for benches at Sage Valley Park. Staff said Airport Road ranked last in the regional (MAG) funding process; Council Member Gray suggested a prescriptive easement and asked the parks director to look into benches.
