1. Public Comments There were no public comments. 3. Discussion concerning the direction for the General Plan Steering Committee Mayor Berube stated he has read the General Plan that was most recently updated in 2015 and he thinks it is a good document, but for future revisions he would like to simplify the document so that it is easier for citizens to understand and in order for it to serve as a guiding document for the Planning Commission and City Council as they consider land use actions. It is important for the Committee to recommend that the General Plan is a living document and can be adjusted responsive to needs of the community. City Manager/Attorney stated that this group has talked about two concepts in the past that have also been discussed with the City Council; this includes the idea of transferrable development rights (TDR) to achieve preservation of green or open space in the City. For a TDR program to work, it is necessary to identify the locations of the City where increased density is allowed and those areas of the City that should be preserved as open space as a result of a TDR action. Another option for preserving open space is the idea of a conservation easement that can be recorded against a property to ensure future preservation. The group engaged in high level discussion about the two concepts raised by Mr. Call and indicated they are willing to consider and explore both concepts to determine if they are appropriate for the City. Several members of the group communicated they feel that it is necessary for the General Plan to represent the desires of the community. There is a great desire to preserve open space and reduce density of new housing developments that continue to be proposed. Meg Sanders stated that she feels that members of the Planning Commission and City Council have ignored the requests made by residents to deny high density projects that are eliminating green space in the community. Planning Commissioners Thomas and Waite indicated that the Planning Commission does not have the ability to deny a project that complies with City ordinances or conforms with the General Plan. The Council has greater discretion when assigning zoning. Mayor Berube stated that it seems that the City has gotten into the habit of rezoning properties as requested and he would like for the General Plan to be updated to be reflective of the desires of the community in order to guide the Council as they are considering zone change actions. Grant Protzman stated that his concern has been that some projects that have been built in the City do not comply with the approvals that were granted by the City Council. The developer of the Village at Prominence Point project has requested several amendments to his development agreement and the Council felt they had no choice but to approve those changes. He would like for developers to be held to the approvals they have been granted. Stefanie Casey agreed, but added that project approvals must be realistic. If the market changes drastically and certain business models are no longer viable, it is appropriate to consider adjustments rather than force a developer to stick to a project that will never come to fruition.

The group then engaged in philosophical discussion and debate about the level of detail appropriate for the plan and how restrictive the document should be. There was a break in discussion to allow for action on the minutes listed on the agenda. 2. Minutes Consideration

a. Consideration to approve the August 28, 2019, general Plan Steering Committee Meeting minutes

b. Consideration to approve the October 23, 2019, General Plan Steering Committee Meeting

minutes

Grant Protzman made a motion to approve the minutes. Eric Thomas seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.

Discussion regarding the direction the Committee would like to take then resumed.

Grant Protzman moved that the Committee proceed in examining undeveloped parcels in the City and update the General Plan Map to appropriate future land use recommendations. Additionally, the General Plan document will be improved to include substance and enforcement capabilities. Bruce Christensen seconded the motion.

Mr. Call stated it is important for the group to understand that no other community in the State has considered adoption of a General Plan that includes language indicating that development rights are vested based upon the implications of the General Plan. He is unsure that such a plan in North Ogden will be successful, but he understands the group’s desire to improve the substance and enforcement options for the document. Mr. Thomas indicated that other cities have done something similar in regard to providing vesting rights based up on General Plan directives. Syracuse City requires a formal application for a General Plan text or map change if a property owner wants to pursue development that is not in line with their General Plan. They have a closure period for the Plan as well and this requires some applicants to wait to apply for an amendment. This creates an additional step in a rezone process that applicants would pursue. The group discussed whether vesting rights are appropriate for the General Plan. Mayor Berube stated he would rather use language indicating that the General Plan will be more substantive than indicate that adoption of the Plan will provide vesting rights for property owners. The group agreed. Mayor Berube called for a vote on the motion offered by Mr. Protzman and seconded by Mr. Christensen. All voted in favor; the motion carried unanimously.

4. Discussion concerning Central Business District (CBD) Planning Director Scott provided the group with information and documentation regarding the idea of creating a Central Business District (CBD) for downtown North Ogden. This is a tool that can be used to accomplish future development goals for downtown and to ensure sustainability of development. He reviewed a map to illustrate the portion of the City that he would envision making up the CBD for North Ogden. This area is already comprised of several different zoning types. The City is working with a consultant on revising the City’s zoning ordinances it is an option to utilize that consultant to create zoning guidelines for a CBD zone in the City. This would include development and design standards. He referenced a CBD zone that has been in place in Ogden City for several decades and it includes minimum design standards and guidance regarding allowed uses in the zone. He facilitated a high-level review of the zoning ordinance and focused on the language that could be paralleled for a CBD in North Ogden. He then stated that aside from the CBD zone, he would recommend a neighborhood commercial/convenience zone be created for areas outside of downtown North Ogden. This could allow for smaller business uses that could provide convenient access to goods for residents living further distances from the CBD. He stated that is something the group can consider as they proceed with updates to the General Plan. The group then discussed the concept of creating a CBD zone for North Ogden. There was also a brief focus on the concept of a neighborhood commercial zone, with several members expressing support for that type of land use. Dan Nixon stated he feels it is necessary to consider General Plan amendments as quickly as possible. There have been development concepts presented for areas of the City, but they were killed because the General Plan or zoning ordinances were not flexible enough. The economy is thriving right now and it is necessary to consider code amendments to allow for developers to capitalize on good market conditions while providing projects that can benefit the entire community. 5. Public comments

Christina Watson stated that from a citizen’s perspective, when the City is considering zone changes for which citizen notification is required, the City should take care of that notification in the discussion phase of a zone change or rezone rather than after decisions have been made. This would give citizens the ability to provide input early in the process. Many people may disregard a general notice about something in the City, but when it directly impacts their own property, they care and they want to voice their opinion. She stated that it is important to communicate General Plan changes to the entire community so that they understand that potential changes could have an impact them on the future. The group discussed notification practices and suggested that information be provided in person to property owners as well as through the City website and various social media channels. 6. Committee/staff/Mayor comments Mr. Call asked for direction from the Committee regarding the subjects they would like to discuss and work on over the course of future meetings. Mr. Thomas suggested that each Committee

member familiarize themselves with the current General Plan and land use implications. He also suggested that they read through zoning ordinances in order to participate in discussions about the appropriate locations for different zoning designations. Mayor Berube noted the next Committee meeting will be scheduled in April; notification will be provided to Committee members. 7. Adjournment

Julie Anderson made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Meg Sanders seconded the motion.

The motion passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 7:29 p.m.

AGENDA: 1. Public Comments

There were no public comments. 2. Discussion on vesting the General Plan and the Future Land Use Map

City Manager/Attorney Call used the map in the General Plan document to talk about future land use and the direction that the Committee would like to take with the map. The room was set up with four separate tables with a black/white map of the city for each table. Each group was asked to consider what zoning they would like to see on the map for individual areas and use the crayons to designate those areas with the colors that had been pre-determined. The colors assigned: Purple – 8 units to the acre Red – 6 units to the acre (approx. current zone R-1-5) Orange – 4 units to the acre (approx. current zone R-1-8) Yellow – 3 units to the acre (approx. current zone R-1-10) Green – 2 units to the acre (approx. current zone RE-20) Blue – 1 unit to the acre They were asked to consider:

• What neighborhoods do you want to see replicated? • What are your favorite areas of the City? • Are there other neighborhoods outside of the City you enjoy? • Would you trade density for continuous open space?

The agenda and rules for the meeting were suspended and the groups worked together until they were finished with their maps.

The meeting adjourned at 7:10 pm

Meg Sanders nominated Julie Anderson to serve as the Vice Chair and conduct tonight’s meeting. Stefanie Casey seconded the motion. All voted in favor. Vice Chair Anderson called the meeting to order at 6:02 p.m. She offered the Thought, Supplication, Praise, Thanksgiving, Reading, or Invocation and Jon Call led the Pledge of Allegiance. AGENDA: 1. Public Comments There were no public comments. 2. Overview of Central Business District (CBD) Planning Director Scott introduced Greg Montgomery, Ogden City Planning Manager. He noted he and Mr. Montgomery worked together at Ogden City for 18 years and during that time, the City created its Central Business District (CBD). He has invited Mr. Montgomery to provide information about the process by which the CBD was created and the purpose the CBD serves in Ogden. Mr. Montgomery discussed his family’s relationship to North Ogden and his recollection of the manner in which the City’s downtown area has developed over time. The Ogden City CBD was developed to encompass the area thought of as downtown Ogden. If this Committee desires to create a CBD in North Ogden, he would suggest that the group consider the area that is most traditionally thought of as the City’s downtown. This could be considered independent of zoning designations; however, he would suggest that the group consider things like walkability, transportation, and common elements. Ogden’s CBD has an intensive zone and a general zone. That may not be necessary in North Ogden as the City’s downtown area is not as large as Ogden’s. However, it would be appropriate to consider if all CBD allowed land uses should be allowed anywhere in the CBD or only on certain parcels. The ordinances created for the CBD zone should be considered tools to enforce regulations and standards. This means that language must be clear and concise rather than arbitrary. Otherwise, landowners and developers will try to argue for things that may not have been intended for the CBD zone. He advised the Committee to envision what they want the area encompassed in the CBD to look like. Brainstorming could start from a point of looking at current uses and historical properties that residents are familiar with. Design standards could be patterned after those uses in order to provide compatibility for future development. Mr. Montgomery then engaged in high level discussion with the group about topics such as what Ogden City learned throughout the creation of the CBD and what things they would have done differently; the pros and cons of combining several types of commercial zone into one for the purpose of development in the CBD zone; and the option of posting a pending ordinance to halt any development of property in the CBD area until after final ordinances are adopted. Julie Anderson polled the Committee to determine if there is support for recommending a six-month moratorium on development of any property in the potential CBD area to give the City time to

develop a CBD ordinance and associated zoning regulations. The group engaged in philosophical discussion regarding the concept of a moratorium and concluded to support a recommendation to the City Council to enact a moratorium. Grant Protzman moved to recommend to the City Council that they adopt a pending ordinance to enact a moratorium on any development on the potential CBD area. Mark Brown seconded the motion. Mr. Scott reiterated the City is working with a consultant that is aiding the City in updating its zoning ordinances. That project could include work on a CBD and identification of the desires for continued development of downtown North Ogden. He would recommend review of the basic principles in the General Plan to inform the work to be done by this group and the consultants on development of a CBD ordinance. This led to discussion among the group about whether to recommend a moratorium to the City Council or to wait for more information from Planning staff and the consultant. The group briefly heard from a representative of the consultant group about the scope of work they are currently working under and how this current project differs from work done by the consultant in the past to update the City’s General Plan. The Committee asked City Manager/Attorney Call if they can address the City Council regarding their desires to place a moratorium on development in the City’s downtown area. They suggested that Ms. Anderson and Ms. Sanders represent the Committee. Mr. Call stated that what the City would be allowed to do is adopt a temporary ordinance that would give the City six months to develop specific regulations for development in the downtown area of the City. Ms. Anderson suggested that Committee members send their suggestions to Mr. Call for the types of restrictions they would like to consider for development. Mr. Call stated that he can write a draft ordinance for the Committee to review, but he advised them to reach a consensus on the goal of the ordinance. Mr. Protzman suggested that Mr. Call pattern the temporary land use ordinance after one that Ogden City has adopted in the past when they were in this type of situation. Mr. Montgomery noted that a temporary land use ordinance should be very specific and provide landowners with direction regarding the type of development they would be allowed to pursue during the six-month period or what type of development would be prohibited. Ms. Anderson stated that she would like to present to the City Council during their May 12 meeting. She asked Mr. Call to provide the draft temporary land use ordinance to all Committee members for their review before that meeting. The group then engaged in high level philosophical discussion/debate of the types of regulations that should be included in the temporary land use ordinance. They also briefly focused on the purpose of this Committee at the present time and if the group will have any involvement in the process of updating City land use ordinances. Ms. Anderson then called for a vote on the motion made to recommend consideration of a temporary land use ordinance to the City Council. All voted in favor. The motion passed unanimously.

3. Further discussion and review of Future Land Use from Feb 26, 2020 General Plan Steering Committee Meeting.

City Manager/Attorney Call stated that during the last meeting, Committee members had the opportunity to prepare maps illustrating their desires for General Plan amendments. He presented the map and discussed some commonalities between the maps. Ms. Anderson suggested that an overlay of the different maps be created and sent to all Committee members for further review. Mr. Call stated he can provide that type of document and stated that it would be helpful for the group to reach a consensus on how they would like to proceed with developing a proposed future land use map that could eventually be presented to the City Council, if that is a goal the Committee would like to pursue. The Committee stated they would like to look at a document identifying commonalities before proceeding with determining the goals for the land use map. 4. Committee/staff/Mayor comments Several Committee members commented on the importance of this group for communicating the desires of the community to the City Council relative to continued development activities in North Ogden. There was a brief discussion about the current COVID-19 pandemic and different ideas about the manner in which this crisis will change the local and national economy in the long term. Mayor Berube stated that many things will likely change and he is supportive of considering amendments to the General Plan that are rooted in reality. 5. Adjournment

Mark Brown made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Meg Sanders seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 7:46 p.m.

a. Expansion. Application to expand a node will be noted in the standard building permit orsubdivision application. The Planning Commission may not delegate approval of suchapplications. A property to be included in a node must be adjacent to a property that isalready part of the node.

b. Uses. Permitted and conditional uses are those of the underlying zone with the addition ofmixed use if such is not otherwise included. Applicants who wish to change the underlyingzone will do so by application and zoning will be approved on condition of the purchase ofDevelopment Rights. Commercial uses shall be adjacent to other commercial uses creatinga commercial core, with the lowest density furthest from the commercial areas.

c. Density. Density is determined from the underlying zone at the effective date of thisordinance plus the number of purchased Development Rights.

d. Standards. Parking is required to be at the side, underground, or at the rear of commercialproperties and multifamily residential units. Sidewalks, pathways, or boardwalks arerequired.

e. Location. The Receiving Zone shall be within 500 feet of the five (5) nodes defined:

i. Trappers Loop. A single location to be selected by the property owner along Hwy167 between the junction with Hwy 39 and the Weber County boundary as thecentral point with all development adjacent to the central point.

ii. Greater Huntsville. The intersection of Hwy 39 and 500 South, generally knownas the "Chevron Intersection".

iii. Eden. The intersection of SR 158 and Hwy 162, generally identified with theValley Market and the Maverick gas station.

iv. Eden Historic. The intersection of Hwy 166 and 2200 N., generally identified asthe "General Store". The intent of this node is to start at the Hearthside ReceptionCenter on 2200 N. proceeding west to the General Store including the lot to thewest of the General Store and then south along 5500 E. opposite the Eden Park. Itis intended that eventually the area surrounding the Park, one lot deep, would bedevoted to the Historic node with expansion beyond that point determined byapplication to expand the node. The Historic node is intended to be the "Old Eden"center, where architecture and building materials are to reflect the 1800's asexemplified by the Blacksmith Shop, the General Store, and the "Wilbur" house,and the Hearthside Reception Center.

v. Liberty. The intersection of Hwy 162 at the 3-way stop, generally identified as the"old church" site.

B. Granting Transferable Development Rights Within the Sending Zone. Except as noted below, everyparcel or record as of the effective date of this ordinance within the Sending Zone is grantedDevelopment Rights as current underlying zoning dictates. For example, if a 10-acre parcel is zonedas FV-3 which allows a 3-acre minimum lot area under the zoning at the effective date of thisordinance, ten percent of developable land shall be subtracted from the 10 acres to provide for therequired public or private right-of-way and the remaining 9 acres shall be divided by the 3-acreminimum lot area which identifies 3 development rights. Transferable development rights are notgranted to:

1. Land restricted for any use subject to Weber County Zoning Ordinance Title 28, Chapter 33Floodplain Overlay Zone, defined Non-developable Area in Chapter 1, and Chapter 38Natural Hazards Overlay Districts;

2. Land restricted from development by covenant, easement, or deed restriction, unless and untilsuch time as said covenant, easement, or restriction is dissolved or rescinded;

3. Land restricted by conservation easement, including a conservation easement created throughthe Ogden Valley Purchase of Development Rights program;

4. Tracts of land or portions thereof subject to easements that preclude development (including,but not limited to, easements of roads, rights-of-way, railroads, electrical transmission lines,telephone lines, and water, sewer, gas or petroleum pipelines) in favor of governmentalagencies, utilities, and railroads;

5. Legal non-conforming parcels of land;

6. Tracts of land owned by a government agency (e.g., Federal, State of Utah, Weber County);and

7. Parcels zoned as open space or other zones that may have no development rights associatedwith them.

CHAPTER 18.76TDR TRANSFERABLE DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS OVERLAY ZONE

18.76.010: CREATED: There is hereby created a transferable development rights (TDR) overlay zone which maybe applied to parcels of land in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. Whenapplied to specific property, the TDR overlay zones shall be denominated as a sendingsite (TDR-S) or a receiving site (TDR-R) as set forth in section 18.76.045 of this chapter.(Ord. 2005-16, 11-16-2005, eff. 11-16-2005)

18.76.020: PURPOSE: The purposes of the TDR overlay zone are to:

A.Promote the preservation of agricultural lands, rural open space, scenic vistas, criticaland sensitive lands, natural hazard areas, and natural features which are designated by theMapleton City general plan as important to preserve, and for the benefit of the citizens ofMapleton City;

B.Discourage development in areas deemed hazardous and in areas where delivery of cityservices may be difficult to provide; or have extraordinary costs in servicing an area, suchas hillsides and mountainsides;

C.Provide compensation to the owners of property from which development rights aretransferred;

D.Provide a method whereby development rights may be transferred from sending sites toreceiving sites in order to accomplish the purposes set forth in subsections A, B, and C ofthis section. (Ord. 2005-16, 11-16-2005, eff. 11-16-2005)

18.76.030: APPLICABILITY: The procedures and requirements of this chapter shall apply to the creation and transfer ofdevelopment rights from sending sites to receiving sites. However, no property lyingoutside of the current corporate boundaries of Mapleton City shall be eligible forconsideration of a transferable development sending site. (Ord. 2005-16, 11-16-2005, eff.11-16-2005)

18.76.040: DESIGNATION OF SENDING AND RECEIVING AREAS: A.The parcels of real property which may be preserved and protected by the transfer ofdevelopment rights from such parcels are those located within a sending area designatedby the Mapleton City general plan, or as described in this section. Those parcels of realproperty which are suitable for using development rights transferred from sending sitesare those parcels located within a receiving area designated by the Mapleton City generalplan. In no case shall an area be designated as a receiving area within any previouslyplatted subdivision or land that has previously received a change in the zone designationto a higher density zoning level.

B.Receiving areas shall be located exclusively within the A-2, RA-1, planned residentialcommunity (PRC) and specific development plan (SDP) zones.

C.With exception to the PRC and SDP zones, a TDR-R zone change shall not accompany

Page 214.

Page 22: GENERAL PLAN STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING ......General Plan Steering Committee Meeting January 29, 2020 Page 3 of 5 The group then engaged in philosophical discussion and debate about

any other rezone proposal. Therefore, there shall be no simultaneous rezones to includean "up zoning" and a TDR-R overlay zone. (Ord. 2005-16, 11-16-2005, eff. 11-16-2005)

18.76.045: DESIGNATION OF SENDING AND RECEIVING SITES ON ZONINGMAP: Each sending site from which a development right is transferred shall be denominated onthe official zoning map by using the suffix "TDR-S" in combination with the underlyingzoning designation of the property. However, if sending site is property that is proposedto be deeded to the city, the land will be given the open space and parks (OS-P) zonedesignation. Each receiving site to which a development right is transferred shall bedenominated on the official zoning map by using the suffix "TDR-R" in combinationwith the underlying zoning designation of the property. (Ord. 2005-16, 11-16-2005, eff.11-16-2005)

18.76.050: APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR A TRANSFER OFDEVELOPMENT RIGHTS CERTIFICATE: A.An eligible landowner or authorized representative must provide the following:

1. Name, address and telephone number of applicant and applicant's agent, if any;

2. Proof of ownership of the sending property;

3. Metes and bounds written legal description and plat prepared within ninety (90) days ofthe date of application by a licensed surveyor;

5. Site plan which illustrates existing or proposed dwellings, historic structures,easements or other encumbrances; and

6. The administrative fee relative to a transfer of development rights as established by thedepartment of planning and zoning ("the department"). (Ord. 2005-16, 11-16-2005, eff.11-16-2005)

18.76.060: TRANSFERABLE DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS; CREATION;SENDING SITES: A.Development rights shall be created and transferred only by means of documents,including a conservation easement, and a severance of TDR credit certificate ("certificateof sending credits"), which meet the requirements of this chapter.

B.In order to be eligible to transfer one or more development rights from a parcel ofproperty, such property shall be located within a sending area. If such property is locatedwithin the CE-1 zone, all property lying within this zone and owned by the same personor related persons, as defined in section 1031 of the internal revenue service code, shallbe designated a sending site at the same time, whether the entire parcel is one parcel,contiguous parcels, or noncontiguous parcels. The owner of such property shall apply forand receive approval to have the property placed in the TDR overlay zone, pursuant torezoning procedures set forth in this title.

1. Upon rezoning approval:

a. The property shall be shown on the official zoning map as a sending site by

Page 224.

Page 23: GENERAL PLAN STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING ......General Plan Steering Committee Meeting January 29, 2020 Page 3 of 5 The group then engaged in philosophical discussion and debate about

denominating it as a TDR-S overlay zone;

b. A certificate of sending credits shall be issued to the property owner by the cityrecorder, pursuant to subsection B2 of this section, indicating the total number ofdevelopment rights which may be transferred from the property; and

c. The property owner shall be eligible, after complying with subsection B2 of thissection, to transfer development rights from the property in accordance with therequirements of this chapter.

2. No transferable development right certificate of sending credits shall be issued, untilpayment of an administrative fee determined by the planning department, and nodevelopment right shall be transferred, unless and until a conservation easement isrecorded among the land records of Utah County, Utah, as required by section 18.76.100of this chapter on the property from which such development right originates.

3. After recordation of the easement, a landowner shall request that the city recorder issuethe record owner of the property a certificate of sending credits. Such certificate shallonly be assigned in the name of the record owner and only for the total number of creditsassigned to the property.

C.Development rights attached to a particular sending site shall be determined andtransferred by applying the following rules:

1. Any sending site density bonus created by the application of this chapter shall beutilized only on a receiving site.

2. Within all zones except the critical environment (CE-1) zone:

a. The total number of development rights which may be created for a sending site shallbe equal to the site's base zone density.

b. The number of development rights to be transferred at any one time may be determinedby the sending site owner so long as the total number of rights transferred does notexceed the total number of development rights associated with the sending site. Forexample, if a property owner has ten (10) development rights in the zone designationwhere the property is located, no more than ten (10) development rights can betransferred. There shall be no additional density bonus except as allowed in this section.

3. Within the critical environment (CE-1) zone:

a. The total number of development rights which may be created for a sending site shallbe equal to the site's base zone density plus a density bonus granted pursuant to eithersubsection C3a(1) or C3a(2) of this section (but not both):

(1) If a sending site owner transfers only the development rights associated with the site,the density bonus shall be equal to three (3) times the site's base zone density. Thus, byway of example and not limitation, a property owner who transfers only the developmentrights from a sending site having a base zone density of ten (10) dwelling units wouldobtain a total of thirty (30) TDRs, illustrated as follows:

Base zonedensity:

10 TDRs (1 dwelling unit equals 1TDR)

Density bonus: 20 TDRs

Page 234.

Page 24: GENERAL PLAN STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING ......General Plan Steering Committee Meeting January 29, 2020 Page 3 of 5 The group then engaged in philosophical discussion and debate about

Total 30 TDRs(2) If a sending site owner transfers fee title of the site to Mapleton City Corporation orthe sending site owner is Mapleton City Corporation, the density bonus shall be equal tofive (5) times the site's base zone density. Thus, by way of example and not limitation, aproperty owner who transfers development rights only from a sending site having a basezone density of ten (10) dwelling units would obtain a total of fifty (50) TDRs, illustratedas follows:

Base zonedensity:

10 TDRs (1 dwelling unit equals 1TDR)

Density bonus: 40 TDRsTotal 50 TDRsb. All development rights associated with property zoned CE-1 in a sending site shall betransferred at one time.

c. A parcel of land within the CE-1 zone may qualify as a sending site with the incentivebonuses established in subsection C3a(1) or C3a(2) of this section only if the sending siteparcel is the same parcel as it existed as of December 15, 1998. Any parcel which hasbeen subdivided, developed, or on which a structure has been built after December 15,1998, shall not qualify for the incentive bonuses established in subsection C3a(1) or C3a(2) of this section. It is the intent of this chapter to cause owners of potential sending siteswithin the CE-1 zone to decide either to develop all or some portion of the potentialsending sites, or to receive the incentive bonus by transferring all development rights offof the land, but not to allow for both, or some degree of both.

D.The transfer of any development rights from a sending site shall be evidenced by anotice recorded among the land records of Utah County, Utah, in a form approved by thecity council, after receiving a recommendation from the planning commission. Suchnotice shall indicate:

1. The total number of development rights which may be transferred from the sendingsite;

2. The number of development rights actually transferred at the time the notice isrecorded;

3. The number of development rights remaining; and

4. Notice to any potential buyer of the sending site that:

a. Any remaining development rights may have been transferred from the property; and

b. The buyer should contact Mapleton City officials to determine the number ofdevelopment rights, if any, remaining on the sending site. (Ord. 2005-16, 11-16-2005, eff.11-16-2005)

18.76.070: TRANSFERABLE DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS; RECEIVING SITES: A.Transferable development right receiving sites shall be limited to the A-2, RA-1, PRCand SDP zone designations exclusively.

1. All areas shall be eligible to increase the density with the use of TDRs by no more thandoubling what the underlying zone designation allows.

Page 244.

Page 25: GENERAL PLAN STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING ......General Plan Steering Committee Meeting January 29, 2020 Page 3 of 5 The group then engaged in philosophical discussion and debate about

B.In order to transfer one or more development rights to a parcel of property, such parcelshall be located within a receiving area. The owner of such parcel shall apply for andreceive approval to have the property placed in the TDR overlay zone pursuant torezoning procedures set forth in this title. In no case shall a receiving site rezone beapproved in any previously platted subdivision. Upon rezoning approval:

1. The property shall be shown on the official zoning map as a receiving site bydenominating it as a TDR-R overlay zone,

2. The property owner shall be eligible to transfer development rights to the property inaccordance with the requirements of this chapter, and

3. A certificate of receiving credits shall be issued upon payment of an administrative feedetermined by the planning department, to the property owner by the city recorderindicating the total number of development rights which may be transferred to theproperty in accordance to subsection A of this section.

The city council, after receiving a recommendation from the planning commission, mayapprove a subdivision or a concept plan for a receiving site at a density which equals thebase zone density plus the number of development rights which will be transferred tosuch site. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the development density of a receiving site shallnot be increased above the maximum density recommended for such site by the MapletonCity general plan. Any density bonus applicable to a receiving site shall not exceeddensity limitations established by the general plan. In no case shall the overall densityexceed double of what the underlying zone designation would allow.

C.No site shall be designated as a receiving site unless the planning departmentcommission finds that the site has or will have adequate public facilities and otherresources to accommodate the increased development authorized by the transfer ofdevelopment rights from the sending district. (Ord. 2005-16, 11-16-2005, eff. 11-16-2005)

18.76.080: DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL PROCEDURES: The following development approval procedures shall apply to new developments withinthe A-2 and RA-1 zone designations:

(Ord. 2005-16, 11-16-2005, eff. 11-16-2005)

18.76.090: DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS: A.The following development standards shall be applicable to receiving sites in the A-2and RA-1 zones:

1. Each development in a TDR-R overlay zone shall conform to the developmentstandards and permitted uses as required by the underlying zone, except as may bemodified by the provisions of this chapter. In such case, the standards of this chapter shallapply.

2. If density proposed on a receiving site exceeds the density permitted by the underlyingzone as per subsection 18.76.070A of this chapter, density, lot sizes, and otherdevelopment standards shall be determined by the city council, after receiving arecommendation from the planning commission, as part of the subdivision and/or siteplan review process.
