Policy Session (7 PM)
Tonight’s policy session is a full one, with seven public hearings on the docket. Residents can weigh in during each hearing before the Council votes.
Public Hearings
Corrigan Farms Rezone: Corrigan Farms LLC is requesting to add the RTI overlay zone to a 41-acre parcel (parcel number 59:068:0006) to allow for a potential data center project with a natural gas power plant. Senior Planner David Stroud will present the rezone ordinance. City Attorney Marcus Draper will then present the accompanying development agreement, which sets development and infrastructure requirements for the anticipated project.
Culinary Water Impact Fee Facility Plan (IFFP): City Engineer Vince Hogge will present an update that adds the Spring Run/Talons Cove area, along with the improvements needed to meet water demand there. Cost estimates are also updated to reflect rising construction costs.
Wastewater Master Plan and IFFP: Hogge will also present a matching update for the wastewater system, adding the Spring Run/Talons Cove area and the improvements needed to handle sewer flows from it, plus updated cost estimates.
Archery Use Code Amendment: Assistant to the City Manager Natalie Winterton will present proposed changes to Eagle Mountain Municipal Code Sections 9.10 and 17.47. The amendment would allow outdoor archery ranges within the existing Outdoor Shooting Range Overlay Zone and indoor ranges as a special use, with standards intended to discourage archery in backyards and other unsafe locations. Staff also reviewed USA Archery standards in developing the proposal.
Fencing and Screening Amendment: Senior Planner Robert Hobbs will present an amendment that would allow barbed wire fencing in the RTI Overlay Zone and clarify that chain link fencing in industrial areas can’t be topped with barbed wire.
Residential Standards Table Amendment: Hobbs will also present a change that would recognize existing lots smaller than 4,500 square feet as legally conforming when they’re rezoned to the RC Zone, and would recognize existing building setbacks smaller than the RC Zone minimums.
Master Site Plans Amendment: A third item from Hobbs would clarify when a Master Site Plan or Standard Site Plan is required and establish the review process. It would also require a separate plat application for land to be subdivided within a site plan, and require Master Site Plan approval before a plat is approved.
Scheduled Items
Land Disposal Applications: City Recorder Lacie A. Messerly will present two resolutions that would allow resident land disposal applications to move forward and direct staff to begin the notice and public hearing process. They are not final approvals.
