Agenda, item by item
Item 1A · Presentation
2020 annual citizen survey
Discussed
An intern reported 950 survey responses. Residents valued the community, open space and affordable housing; concerns were rapid growth and housing density. Requests included a recreation center, pool, grocery store and restaurants. 85% rated quality of life positively and 72% were optimistic about the city's future.
Item 1B · City code
Standards for special uses (EMMC 17.75 and 17.10)
Discussed
Staff proposed definitions and organization for newly created permitted special uses without changing existing standards. Council Members Curtis and Love asked for more on gas station standards and setbacks from homes; Council Member Clark raised towing yards and the 180-day vehicle storage period, and wanted screening and setbacks. Staff said the period follows state code and towing yards are allowed only in industrial areas.
Item 2A · Development
Scarlet Ridge concept plan
Discussed
Staff presented a concept for 139 lots on 160 acres along the East Bench and Lake Mountain Road, designated Agriculture/Rural Density Two. Applicant representative Ryan Kent described a traffic study, paving 20 feet of Tiffany Lane, a sewer line to Pony Express Parkway and large equestrian-oriented lots. Council Member Gray raised the mix of RD1 and RD2 lots, open space and aesthetics. Council Member Curtis asked whether the applicant would commit to at least 30 one-acre lots; the applicant could not guarantee a number.
